Chapter 147: Learning from the leader while fighting (big chapter, please subscribe)
“This guy condenses the Destruction Sword Intent, and his attack power is not inferior to my Thunder-Breaking Sword Intent. You have to be careful.”
Back in the rest area, He Zijian looked quite unwilling and reminded Zhou Ling.
"Well, I feel that if it is an actual battle, he may not be able to defeat you!"
Zhou Ling expressed his feelings calmly, which was also based on the judgment of [Intermediate Analysis].
Hearing this, He Zijian smiled and said, "You don't have to comfort me. The road is boundless. If you lose, you lose. It's not that I can't accept this kind of thing."
"The key is to know where to lose." It’s important!”
Zhou Ling nodded, He Zijian’s attitude is quite good!
"But you have to give me a good word and don't let this kid get the top spot!"
Sitting on the futon, He Zijian said to Zhou Ling again.
His expression was calm, and he was not saying anything angry. It was obvious that in his heart, he really believed that Zhou Ling could defeat He Zijian.
Then he added, "As long as you defeat him, I will treat you to dinner and listen to music!"
Hearing this, Zhou Ling scratched his head and felt strange, and couldn't help but ask with a smile , "Brother He, you can't beat him, how can I defeat him?"
"Although he is a first-level swordsman, and he understands the Burning Sword Intent and the Sword Body, he will fight with me in the morning. , consume at least 80%.”
“It’s good to be able to recover to 80% of the combat power in the afternoon.”
He Zijian's words made Zhou Ling raise his eyebrows. If this was the case, it would be a huge benefit to him.
“Also, the opponent’s Burning Sword Intent has a powerful burning attribute, so it’s best if you don’t confront him head-on.”
“I think we can use the Hundred Sword Formation to fight him first. Consumption, and then take the opportunity to get close."
"With your body training skills, once you get close, he will definitely not be your opponent!"
He Zijian arranged with Zhou Ling again! Tactics started.
After all, he had just fought with his opponent and knew him best.
Zhou Ling glanced at Jin Sheng who had returned to the rest area, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a smile, "Brother He, don't worry, I will definitely find a place for you!"
Enter now At the seventh level of Qi training, he didn't have much confidence in dealing with Jin Sheng, who was at the peak of his combat power, but if he only had 80% of his combat power.
That still has a good chance of winning.
He still has this confidence.
And now the Five Elements Sword Vein has been opened in the body.
Integrating the beast flames into the Sword Qi Furnace and Sword Intention, the power of the Sword Qi will greatly increase, and it can be stimulated with the help of Sword Intent.
It is difficult for others to easily detect the existence of beast inflammation.
“Yes!”
He Zijian nodded, then sat cross-legged and continued to restore the mana in his body.
Zhou Ling was also waiting patiently for the afternoon competition.
"Brother Ling, aren't you able to control more magic swords?"
"I have eight magic swords in my hand now, but I can lend them to you first!"
This At this time, Wang Xin came over, took out his eight-level first-grade magic sword from the storage bag, and handed it to Zhou Ling.
“Thanks, Xin’er!”
Zhou Ling was not polite. His original divine consciousness was enough to control the Eight-Way Magic Sword.
Now that I have entered the seventh level of Qi training, my soul has also been significantly improved.
Plus the [Sword Controlling] talent.
Enough to control thirteen magic swords at the same time.
If Zhou Ling had not comprehended the Sword Qi Furnace and the Thunder-Breaking Sword Intention, no matter how much sword light he gathered, he would be able to attack.
Against Jin Sheng's sword intent, the threat is limited!
But the power of the sword formation with the blessing of sword energy is naturally different.
"Zhou Ling has to do your best in the afternoon finals."
"As long as you defeat Jin Sheng, then this year's spot for Lingxia Immortal City Taoist Academy's foundation seed will be yours!"
“It is extremely difficult to obtain this quota. For others to obtain it, in addition to being ranked first in the assessment of each fairy city, they must also have the recommendation of a teacher to be ranked.”
"With this quota, after you enter the Taoist Academy, you will receive much more resources than the freshmen of the same class."
Zhou Ling was putting away the magic sword when a message came from his ear.
Listening carefully, it seemed to be Mr. Hu’s voice. But when he looked up at the judges’ bench, he found that it was empty.
The judges have not returned yet.
Although I don’t know what exactly this foundation seed is.
But when it comes to foundation building, it is undoubtedly the next most important thing for him.
For monks, before the age of sixty, all aspects of blood, energy and essence are on the rise.
So it is most advantageous to successfully build the foundation before then.
But once the foundation building fails, all aspects of blood, energy and essence will be greatly consumed, and the next foundation building will be more difficult.
If you fail twice, your chances will become slimmer in the future.
Therefore, if the foundation is good and you are well prepared, the sooner you build the foundation, the better.
Of course, with his current age and cultivation level, he doesn’t need to worry too much about foundation building.
And now that there is the [Marrow Cleansing and Root Refining] talent, if the spiritual root can be upgraded to a mid-grade spiritual root, the quality and success rate of foundation building will be improved.
But of course he will fight for this spot no matter what.
After entering the Taoist temple in this way, it can also greatly reduce the burden on the family.
Although Hu Jiaoxi was not found, he still bowed in the direction of Chuanyin to express his gratitude.
·······.
In the afternoon, at Shen Shi, the melodious and ancient bells rang in the square.
"This year's Lingxia Immortal City Taoist Academy's magic competition is to assess the final disciples, Jin Sheng and Zhou Ling, come to the competition stage."
As the judges' voices fell.
Zhou Ling slowly walked onto the competition stage.
At the same time, there was a sound of footsteps, and Jin Sheng, with a stern face, also stepped onto the competition stage.
Most of the person's breath has recovered, and the breath has become sharp and thick, like a sharp sword, which makes people dare not look directly.
“Now we’ve got something going!”
Seeing Jin Sheng’s figure, Zhou Ling felt happy, knowing that he had a high chance of winning in this competition.
With the emergence of [Intermediate Observation] and [Intermediate Analysis], he could roughly feel that Jin Sheng's strength at this time was not even 80% of what He Zijian said.
It can be seen that the battle in the morning was very exhausting, and it was obvious that it was not easy for him to win.
With the help of Zhengyuan Dan, he successfully broke through the late stage of Qi training.
This rise and fall has tilted the balance of victory to one's own side.
“Seven levels of Qi training!”
Looking at Zhou Ling, Jin Sheng's eyes flashed, but he didn't take it too seriously.
In his opinion, even if he recovered 80% of his spiritual power, it would still be more than enough to deal with Zhou Ling.
If it weren't for Wang Xin's relationship, he wouldn't even know that a rival like Zhou Ling existed.
As for Zhou Ling, he passed all the way and reached the finals with the sixth level of Qi training.
He also defeated two ninth-level qi-training disciples, Kong Jili and Nan Feng.
He didn't pay much attention to it. If it were him, the two of them would lose faster.
In Lingxia Fairy City, the only one he could consider as his opponent was He Zijian.
"What is your relationship with Wang Xin?"
After thinking about it, Jin Sheng still asked curiously.
“Wang Xin!”
Hearing this, Zhou Ling couldn't help but be confused.
Now during the finals, why is this kid asking this?
"The time has come, the battle for the leader has officially begun!"
At this time, the voice of Gu Jiaoxi sounded.
Hoo ho ho!
As the judges' voices fell, Zhou Ling patted his storage bag, and there was a sudden wave in front of him. Ten swords lined up in front of him like a sword dragon.
"Go to the Hundred Sword Formation!"
Zhou Ling shouted loudly.
The ten magical swords slashed together, as if they were well-trained, drawing dozens of sword lights, intertwined into a sharp sword array, and swept straight down towards Jin Sheng.
These sword energy blooms with dazzling five-color sword light, so sharp and extremely condensed.
The Hundred Sword Formation condensed sixty sword rays, formed a sword net and struck out, Zhou Ling's face turned pale slightly.
Nearly 30% of the mana in the body was consumed.
Controlling ten magic swords at once and stimulating sword intent at the same time, this is almost the strongest sword formation he can currently perform.
His tactics are also simple, similar to what He Zijian said. First, activate the sword formation and attack with all his strength to accelerate Jin Sheng's consumption.
If you find another opportunity to fight in close combat, as long as you can get within ten feet of him, the power of Dayang Fist will be enough to break his sword light.
Of course, it would be best if the Hundred Sword Formation could defeat the opponent.
“You have also understood the meaning of the sword.”
Looking at the five-color sword net whistling down in the air, Jin Sheng, who had originally looked relaxed, suddenly became focused.
Although the sword intent contained in these sword energies was extremely weak, the condensed sword formation still made him feel threatened.
The fact that Zhou Ling was able to form a sword formation in this way shows that the sword skills he practiced were of a high level, and that he had already entered the realm of swordsmanship.
"What? This little guy is actually a first-level swordsman? How is this possible?"
Looking at Zhou Ling's sword formation, Wang Jiaoxi, who had always been a man of few words, couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
There are countless sword cultivators in the Dao League, but there are less than one sword cultivator in a hundred who can enter the first realm of swordsmanship and understand the meaning of the sword.
Only disciples like He Zijian and Jin Sheng, with astonishing talents and deep family inheritance, can comprehend the meaning of the sword at such an age.
Needless to say, Jin Sheng was blessed with a sword body, so it was a matter of course for him to understand the sword's intention.
And He Zijian is from a famous family, and with good talent, it makes sense that he can understand the meaning of the sword.
But how can a little guy like Zhou Ling, a casual cultivator, understand the meaning of the sword? This shocked them.
“A first-level high-grade inscription master, a late-level first-level body refiner, and a strong spiritual consciousness. Now he is still a first-level swordsman. This little guy is too scary!”
Gu Jiaoxi, who was originally unmoved, now opened his eyes slightly with a look of surprise.
“I don’t know how this little guy did it?”
Hu Jiaoxi said with a look of praise.
Although Jin Sheng is the proud son of Lingxia Fairy City, he has a sword body and extraordinary talents.
But he is only gifted in swordsmanship.
And this kid Zhou Ling actually dared to develop in all aspects even though he only had low-grade spiritual roots.
And the level of everything is not low.
How amazing this talent is!
You must know that just becoming a first-class inscription master requires long-term hard work.
To understand the meaning of the sword, in addition to hard training, you also need considerable swordsmanship talent.
“Fellow Daoist Hu, this little guy Zhou Ling’s talent is really good. He can also develop it comprehensively in the future. I’m afraid it’s a bit of a waste to just enter Xuanyuan Taoist Academy!”
Ancient In the teacher's words, it was obvious that he was also very interested in Zhou Ling.
"My ancient Taoist friend is wrong. It would be a waste if such talent does not enter our Xuanyuan Taoist Academy!"
Hu Jiaoxi touched his chin and shook his head.
Gu Jiaoxi looked around and said nothing.
Jiaoxi Xiao and Jiaoxi Wang also have their own plans.
With the talent Zhou Ling has shown now, it is definitely worthy of their special move.
Although Zhou Ling has passed the special recruitment of Xuanyuan Taoist Academy, the final decision on which Taoist academy to go to depends on Zhou Ling's own wishes.
"I will show you today what the true sword intention is!"
Jin Sheng snorted coldly and read the spell.
Then the spiritual power in his body was injected into the flaming sword, and it flew out.
The flames of the sword body radiated fiercely, and in the blink of an eye it condensed into a flaming dragon sword light one foot long, which was slashed out.
[You are observing the Hong Furnace Sword Art, intermediate observation +1, Sword Qi Furnace Sword Intention +1]
[You are analyzing the Hong Furnace Sword Art, intermediate analysis +1, Sword Qi Furnace Sword Intent +1]
Zhou Ling's eyes narrowed slightly. With the close observation and analysis of the two talents, he could feel some weaknesses in the opponent's sword attack.
And it obviously helped a lot in my understanding of sword intention.
With his thoughts moving, the sword net was like a whirlpool of sword light, sweeping towards the flaming sword light.
Bang bang bang!
The two swords with different momentums but the same sharpness suddenly clashed in the air.
It made a roaring sound.
As the flames rise on the surface of the flaming sword, a sharp sword intent that burns out all things is released.
The five-color sword net rotates and dances around the flaming sword light.
Finally, under the continuous impact of the sword energy, which was stronger than the previous wave, the flame sword dragon collapsed and disappeared on the spot.
"Yes, you are actually able to block my sword head-on like this. This is the second person besides He Zijian since the competition."
Looking at the flaming sword light disappearing, Jin Sheng's slightly stern face showed a look of surprise.
“You are the first one who can block my sword formation!”
Zhou Ling said calmly.
Through [Intermediate Observation] and [Intermediate Analysis], he had a rough idea of Jin Sheng's sword technique.
The swordsmanship that Jin Sheng practiced was at best low-grade Xuan level, and was not as good as the Five Elements Sword Art that he practiced.
Of course, the opponent relies on the advantage of the sword body and is not familiar with the power of the sword.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Ling gathered the Hundred Sword Formation again. Now, he had gained experience and was no longer eager to show off with Jin Sheng.
But it only condensed thirty sword rays at once, turning into a sword net and whizzing towards Jin Sheng.
After taking the sword just now, he already roughly understood the strength of the opponent's sword intention. So there is no rush to decide the winner immediately.
On the contrary, I want to take the opportunity to improve my understanding of the Sword Qi Furnace through [Intermediate Analysis].
At the same time, entering [Illusion Simulation] in the future will also allow you to fight Jin Sheng more comprehensively.
“Hmph!”
"You can only condense the sword formation just once!"
Seeing that Zhou Ling's sword formation attack was obviously much weaker than before, Jin Sheng snorted disdainfully, activated the spell, and injected spiritual power into the spell again. In the sword.
"Boy, I only practice four sword moves now. He Zijian was defeated by my last sword. I want to see how many of my swords you can block?"
Jin Sheng's tone was quite strong. Pride.
The magic sword in the air then flew out.
A flaming sword light condensed in an instant. The steaming and hot sword light was several feet long, but it suddenly expanded by more than ten feet.
And accompanied by an explosion of flame light, swirling whirlpools of flame appeared on the sword light, with extremely amazing power.
[You are observing the Honglu Sword Technique, intermediate observation +1, Sword Qi Furnace Sword Intent +1]
[You are analyzing the Honglu Sword Technique, intermediate analysis +1, Sword Qi Furnace Sword +1] Meaning +1】
Staring at the flaming sword light with all his concentration, Zhou Ling was not afraid at all, and the sword net shot straight down.
These rotating whirlpools of flaming sword energy are exactly the Burning Sword Intent that Jin Sheng understood.
Boom!
The two swords clashed fiercely again.
Bang bang bang!
Zhou Ling's sword nets were burned one after another.
It turned into sword light that filled the sky and dissipated on the competition stage.
But the flaming sword light was still coming with overwhelming force.
Zhou Ling had a thought.
"Huhu!"
The ten magic swords surrounding him were surrounded by sword light, and the sword light rippled out, and they slashed out.
This time, thirty sword rays intertwined again, but the sword rays roared and condensed into a furnace, releasing a completely different aura from before.
In an instant, they were bombarded with flames and sword light.
"Boom!"
With a loud noise that shot straight into the sky, the five-color sword light and the flaming sword light suddenly intertwined in the air, and air waves swept around it.
On the competition stage, the second-order glazed jade stone was scratched with deep marks.
The two held each other for several breaths before the sword light on both sides gradually dissipated.
"It really works!"
Looking at the dissipated sword light, Zhou Ling's face was filled with joy. By condensing the sword array in this way, his consumption was greatly reduced.
The two attacks also focused on 60 sword rays, but the consumption was only about half of the first time.
Of course, this was also through [Intermediate Analysis], and he learned more about the attack attributes of the opponent's sword moves and sword intent.
In addition, the [meticulous] assistance makes his consumption much lower than that of monks of the same level.
Otherwise, if you control ten magic swords at the same time and practice Qi at the seventh level, you will only be able to hit one or two blows.
This is also the reason why Wang Xin can only control the five magic swords.
Of course, this attack is not without cost.
Three of the ten magic swords have become obviously dim, obviously unable to withstand the opponent's sword attack.
Zhou Ling's spiritual consciousness roughly scanned it and found that the imprints on the three magic swords had burst directly, without even a chance to repair them.
My heart ached. Three first-order high-grade magic swords cost several hundred low-grade spiritual stones.
Then, regardless of his heartache, he patted the storage bag again, and three more magic swords flew out from it, replacing the original magic swords.
The eyes then swept over Jin Sheng, and saw that his expression was solemn. It was obvious that the sword just now consumed a lot of money.
“What?”
Seeing that this sword was blocked so easily by Zhou Ling, Jin Sheng had a look of disbelief on his face.
Even if he had a hard fight with He Zijian in the morning, He Zijian would have to consume a lot of mana to block his flaming sword light.
But this time he was actually blocked by Zhou Ling!
"He is only at the seventh level of Qi training, how can he control the sword formation so easily?"
Jiaoxi Hu also said with a surprised look.
"Why does this kid become calmer as he fights, and why do I feel that the aura of his sword formation is somewhat similar to Jin Sheng's sword intention!"
Xiao Jiaoxi's eyes flashed, and he said in a rather interesting tone.
“This boy’s cultivation talent is really amazing.”
“If I guess correctly, he is learning Jin Sheng’s sword intent.”
Wang Jiaoxi’s tone Also full of shock.
He is a second-level sword cultivator, so he can easily see that Zhou Ling's sword intention is somewhat similar to Jin Sheng's sword intention.
But it’s different.
Although the two sides fought three swords.
Actually speaking, Jin Sheng only used two swords.
Zhou Ling activated the sword formation three times.
And the sword light aura condensed in these three sword formations can be said to be completely different.
For the first time, Zhou Ling was fierce and powerful, and Zhou Ling did not have many reservations.
The second sword changes quickly and is obviously based on testing.
For the third sword, it can be seen that Zhou Ling's terrifying combat experience actually condensed the sword intention and directly annihilated Jin Sheng's sword light.
"What? This little guy actually learns while playing, right?"
After hearing what Wang Jiaoxi said, several other teachers also saw the clues and looked surprised.
You must know that this is the battle for the leaders of the Taoist Academy's assessment competition.
The opponent he faced was Jin Sheng, who was far more powerful than him.
But Zhou Ling was able to deal with it so calmly, and he seemed to be at ease.
This shocked these experienced teachers.
"This second sword is just that, let me see your third sword!"
With the gains from the previous two swords, Zhou Ling was even more eager to try, and took the initiative to provoke his opponent.
Of course, he was not aimless. From the situation of the two swords in front, we can roughly see Jin Sheng's combat strength at this moment.
Even the third or fourth sword may not be that powerful.
Of course, even if it is powerful, with the help of [Intermediate Analysis], he can effectively block it.
Therefore, Zhou Ling did not have any fear in his heart at this moment.
I also hope to improve my own sword intention through the opponent's sword intention through [Intermediate Observation] and [Intermediate Analysis].
Hearing Zhou Ling's words, a flash of anger flashed in Jin Sheng's eyes.
His original plan was to defeat Zhou Ling as quickly as possible.
Wang Xin, who is familiar with Zhou Ling in this way, knows her own strength.
He has a crush on Wang Xin, but he doesn't know how to make friends with her.
In his opinion, as long as he shows enough strength, Wang Xin will naturally have a good impression of him.
I didn’t expect that Zhou Ling would block two consecutive swords so easily.
This time Zhou Ling made provocative words, which made him even more angry.
Hoo!
With a gentle breath, Jin Sheng's aura suddenly changed, and there suddenly seemed to be sword energy surging around him.
Zhou Ling couldn't help but shudder. At this moment, he felt that Jin Sheng was like an unsealed sword, exuding an unparalleled sharpness.
“Is this the sword intention blessing of the sword body?”
Feeling the sword light surrounding Jin Sheng, Zhou Ling was shocked.
This is indeed not something ordinary sword cultivators can do.
"Slash with the Burning Flame Sword, fall!"
Jin Sheng shouted angrily, and the spiritual power in his body was injected into the magic sword.
With the blessing of Jin Sheng's spiritual power, the flaming sword suddenly turned into a half-foot-long flaming sword.
The rising flames created a scorching sword flame several feet high. The fierce sword energy revealed an aura of incineration, which was astonishingly powerful.
The entire competition stage was illuminated like a sea of scarlet swords.
In this strike, Jin Sheng used 70% of his spiritual power to condense the powerful Burning Sword.
I want to defeat Zhou Ling in one fell swoop.
The sword light was overwhelming, sweeping like a flaming sword dragon, and rushed towards Zhou Ling.
[You are observing the Honglu Sword Technique, intermediate observation +1, Sword Qi Furnace Sword Intent +1]
[You are analyzing the Honglu Sword Technique, intermediate analysis +1, Sword Qi Furnace Sword +1] Italian +1】
Boom!
Seeing such a powerful sword light, Zhou Ling did not dare to be careless and activated the Hundred Sword Formation with all his strength.
At the same time, it integrates the [Sword Controlling] talent and the Sword Energy Furnace Sword Intent.
The crisp sound of the sword echoed in all directions.
Ten magical swords flew out.
Turning into sixty intertwined sword lights, the sword energy rose up, setting off a sword energy furnace, directly sweeping the flying flaming sword dragon into it again.
The Sword Qi Furnace can refine and swallow other sword qi, and when combined with Zhou Ling's five elements of magic power, the sword qi furnace can inhibit each other and create endless growth.
The power is no less powerful than the opponent's Burning Sword Intent.
Boom!
The entire competition stage was instantly filled with sword energy, roaring with astonishing power.
Suddenly, the flame sword dragon burst out of a whirlwind of flames, roaring suddenly in all directions, cutting off most of the five-color sword light.
When it broke through and opened the sword energy furnace, it had become extremely dim, and it was obvious that there was not much left.
“Cut!”
“Boy, you are proud enough to let me use the fourth sword!”
Jin Sheng shouted loudly, and all the remaining spiritual power in his body was exhausted It exploded, and the sword glow bloomed all over the body, as if it was integrated with the magic sword in the air.
Immediately, a huge flaming sword that was more than one foot condensed out and slashed down towards Zhou Ling overwhelmingly.
“Not good!”
At this time, Zhou Ling felt that the Ten-Way Magic Sword, which he had been able to control with ease, suddenly sank, as if imprisoned by an inexplicable force.
It is extremely difficult to control him.
But at this moment, the giant flaming sword was slashing down like a broken bamboo.
"Not good!"
"Not good!"
Deacon Qin and Hu Jiaoxi both exclaimed almost at the same time.
They can all feel the terrifying power contained in Jin Sheng's sword, and Zhou Ling may not be able to block it.
At the same time, the flaming sword light has slashed down across the sky. Zhou Ling has no way to avoid it at this moment and can only force it!
"Then let's decide the outcome!"
Zhou Ling thought silently in his heart, without the slightest hesitation, the beast flames in his body were instantly injected into the Five Elements Sword Vein circulation.
Suddenly, dazzling flame spiritual power was injected into the sword array.
The ten magic swords suddenly got rid of their suppressed state and became agile again.
“Slash with a hundred swords!”
Zhou Ling shouted loudly.
Boom!
It’s like a hundred swords ringing in unison.
The ten magic swords erupted with blazing five-color sword light, condensing a sword energy furnace that was even more powerful than the flaming giant sword.
Exuding all the terrifying power of the furnace, it was heavily bombarded with the flaming giant sword.
Rumble!
Two terrifying sword intents clashed again. The moment the two extremely similar sword intents clashed, a loud noise broke out.
The sword glow explodes.
A dazzling brilliance burst out.
Then they rotated violently, as if they were devouring and burning each other, and finally gradually dimmed, eventually turning into light and shadow and dissipating.
"What!"
"How is that possible?"
Jin Sheng's eyes widened in disbelief. The fourth sword that even He Zijian couldn't block was actually blocked by Zhou Ling.
But he didn't wait for him to react.
The figure in front of him flashed, and a black fist hit his face.
"Ah!"
Jin Sheng screamed and passed out.
Zhou Ling's panting figure emerged.
“This?”
“How did this kid do it?”
As the sword light dissipated, Jin Sheng was seen knocked unconscious by Zhou Ling's punch.
All the judges looked in disbelief.
"Zhou Ling won and became the leader of this year's assessment!"
A moment later, the judges announced loudly after confirming that Jin Sheng was unconscious.
“Ling’er wins!”
Zhou Shan pumped his fist excitedly, his face filled with excitement.
Li Ru’s eyes sparkled with tears, her son actually became the leader of Lingxia Fairy City.
This is something she never dreamed of
