Chapter 320 Battle against Jindan Thunder Sword Cultivator
Jiutian Sword Courtyard, meeting hall.
"This time I will go to Qingyang Fairy City to participate in the general academy competition. Zhou Ling and I will lead the team and set off in three days."
Dean Palace glanced at the other teachers in the Taoist Academy and spoke out.
When the other teachers in the Sword Academy heard this, they couldn't help but have doubts on their faces.
"Dean, Zhou Jiaoxi is only at the peak level of foundation building. Even if he understands the three realms of swordsmanship, his opponent is a golden elixir or even a Nascent Soul monk."
"Isn't this holding you back!"
Sun Daojian of the Sword Academy spoke out.
Taoist Sun is on the thin side, but he has already reached Nascent Soul cultivation level and his eyes are bright and clear.
What he said makes sense.
Generally speaking, to become a teacher in the inner courtyard, you must at least have a golden elixir cultivation level.
Since Jiutian Sword Academy focuses on swordsmanship, and Zhou Ling has mastered the three realms of swordsmanship, he can barely become a teacher in the inner academy.
But if you want to participate in such an important competition, there are many teachings in the Taoist academy, and your cultivation level is far better than Zhou Ling.
There are four Nascent Soul sword cultivators alone, and more than twenty Jindan sword cultivators.
Almost all of them are monks who have understood the three realms of swordsmanship.
I don’t know why Dean Gong insisted on choosing Zhou Ling.
Naturally, everyone could see that Dean Gong focused on Zhou Ling's training.
But the main academy competition is related to the rating of the Sword Academy and the rating of Qingyun Immortal City, so it is natural to send the strongest candidates to participate.
"Yes, Dean, this general academy competition is held once every five years and is of great importance. Although Zhou Jiaoxi has the strongest talent in the Taoist academy in the past hundred years and has a bright future, his opponents are all Jindan and Nascent Soul monks. Winning is not that easy! ”
Lan Daobai, the chief instructor of the Sword Academy, also spoke out.
He is a tall, middle-aged man with a beard.
He is at the peak of his Jindan cultivation and majors in thunder attribute swordsmanship. His strength is no less than that of early Yuanying monks.
Originally, he was also the best candidate to accompany the Palace Dean to Qingyang Fairy City for the competition.
But no one expected that Dean Gong would actually choose Zhou Ling, who had the lowest cultivation level.
In the past two years, after Zhou Ling entered Jiutian Sword Academy, the dean of the palace took great care of him.
Everyone can see this.
Although Zhou Ling's talent in swordsmanship is good, it has not reached that shocking level.
No one could imagine that Dean Gong, who had always been very demanding, would care for Zhou Ling like this.
Maybe it's because he is Tian Gong Si Tian Wei.
Because of this status, most of the teachers maintained a good relationship with Zhou Ling.
But this time, it was indeed a bit too biased to let Zhou Ling, who only had foundation-building cultivation, go.
They were a little surprised.
You must know that the combat power of everyone present is above Zhou Ling.
After all, Zhou Ling is still at the peak of foundation building. If they go to participate in such a battle, their chances of winning are not high.
In this case, we might not even be able to make it to the top eight.
But Dean Gong has a high prestige in the Sword Academy, and he is not the kind of nepotistic person.
She actually chose Zhou Ling, so of course she had her own reasons.
However, everyone agreed that it was more reasonable for the chief instructor of the Sword Academy to accompany the Dean of the Palace.
Moreover, other teachers in the Sword Academy have almost never seen Zhou Ling take action, although Dean Gong has stated that he has realized the integration of the three realms of human and sword.
But for the same three realms of sword intent, the difference in power is huge.
The power of swordsmanship in the three realms of thunder attribute is stronger than that of other three realms.
"Oh, you don't have confidence in me?"
Dean Palace glanced at everyone and smiled as she spoke. Then she looked at Daoist Sun and others who seemed to want to say something else. She said, "Don't worry, everyone. I can guarantee that we can win the semi-finals this time." ! ”
As she comprehended the sword of heaven and earth and entered the Nascent Soul realm, her strength was also guaranteed.
It is completely enough to deal with the mid-stage Nascent Soul monks.
Moreover, the power of the Sun, Moon and Five Elements Sword Formation in conjunction with Zhou Ling has also been greatly improved.
The teacher participating in the teaching competition this time has the highest cultivation level in the middle Nascent Soul stage, so she is very confident.
"The top four!"
Hearing this, many teachers showed doubts on their faces. Qingyun Immortal City's best result in the general academy competition in the past was the top eight.
And it was hundreds of years ago.
Now in the Qingyang Immortal Domain, there is a seventh-grade immortal city, Qingyang Immortal City.
There are four sixth-level immortal cities, eighteen fifth-level immortal cities, forty-two fourth-level immortal cities, and hundreds of third- and second-level immortal cities.
The strength of Qingyun Immortal City is considered medium among the fourth-grade Immortal City, but even it is at the top.
There are twenty-three powerful fairy cities ahead. It shows how difficult it is to enter the top four.
Of course, only the Fourth-Rank Immortal City is eligible to participate in this general academy competition.
"Zhou Ling, let me show you how to use the Five Elements Sword Qi!"
Seeing the disbelief on everyone's faces, Dean Gong frowned and said to Zhou Ling.
Hearing this, Zhou Ling, who had been watching his nose and heart, couldn't help but be startled.
In his opinion, Dean Gong is a strong faction in the Sword Academy, and things she decides will generally not change.
Unexpectedly, she allowed herself to use her sword energy.
But that's okay.
Immediately, with a thought, five sword airflow tubes appeared in his hand.
The stream of light flickered, condensing into a faint Five Elements Sword Domain.
"Five Elements Sword Domain!"
Suddenly everyone present looked surprised.
The Five Elements Sword Domain looked soft, but there were all sword cultivators of the third realm or above present, so they all knew how valuable the Five Elements Sword Domain was.
Condensing the Five Elements Sword Domain, but simultaneously comprehending the sword intent of the five Five Elements attributes into the Three Realms, this difficulty is equivalent to three times that of ordinary single attributes.
Moreover, it must be intertwined and soft, and the five elements must be in harmony with each other, which makes it even more difficult.
But since it was controlled by Zhou Ling.
You know, Zhou Ling is only eighteen years old now.
Everyone knew that his talent in weapon refining was amazing, but they didn't expect that his talent in swordsmanship was so terrifying.
Zhou Ling looked calm and put away the Five Elements Sword Qi.
"Everyone has seen that Zhou Ling has understood the Five Elements Sword Qi. I don't need to say more about what the Five Elements Sword Qi of the Three Realms means!"
Dean Gong said with a smile on his face, she could tell that Zhou Ling's Five Elements Sword Domain had been strengthened.
"Why does Zhou Jiaoxi's sword intention look familiar? It seems to be quite similar to Dean Gong's Luomu sword intention!"
Lan Daobai looked at Zhou Ling and said with a slightly confused tone.
Being able to condense the sword domain in the foundation building realm is indeed an amazing talent.
Even the Jiutian Sword Academy will not be able to count more than one hand in a thousand years.
Moreover, Zhou Ling's sword intention makes people feel familiar.
"Yes, I have understood the Three Realms Sword Intent mainly from the Luomu Sword Intent from Dean Gong. From the Luomu Sword Intent, I have understood the other four attributes of the Sword Intent, making it a complete Five Elements Sword Intent."
Zhou Ling said with a smile.
Although the opportunity to understand the Five Elements Sword Intent comes from the Luomu Sword Intent, the attributes of the Five Elements have their own Sword Intent attributes, so they are completely different.
This kind of thing can naturally be seen based on the swordsmanship of everyone present.
"Zhou Jiaoxi's talent is indeed astonishing. With such talent in swordsmanship, it is estimated that he is no longer among the top swordsmen."
Taoist Sun nodded and praised.
Now he can understand why the director of the White House favors him so much. He is indeed an amazing talent.
Not only him, but other teachers who were originally a little skeptical also showed admiration at this time.
You know, Zhou Ling is only eighteen years old now, but he has already been able to condense the Three Realms and Five Elements Sword Domain, and his future is boundless.
What's more, he is still a fourth-grade weapon refiner.
Such a terrifying talent is really amazing! "Teacher Zhou, I think that although your Five Elements Sword Domain just now is good, it is more than soft, not strong enough, and it is obviously lacking in combat power!"
At this time, Lan Daobai spoke with a serious face again.
"What does Lan Jiaoxi mean?"
When Zhou Ling heard this, he raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion.
Now that he controls the Five Elements Sword Domain, he can basically achieve good control with the help of the Five Elements Sword Soul.
Just now he just showed his water attribute sword intent.
"It just so happens that my thunder-type sword is famous for its fierceness. If we fight against each other, it can sharpen your five-element sword. What do you think?"
Lan Daobai chuckled and said.
In the sword academy, it is common for teachers and students to compete and exchange swordsmanship.
Therefore, Lan Daobai's words immediately made other teachers interested.
They also wanted to observe the sword intent of the two to see who would be better than the five element sword intent or the thunder attribute sword intent?
And it will also help them understand the meaning of the sword.
Zhou Ling looked troubled after hearing this.
"I will participate in the competition in three days. If I consume too much, it will affect the competition!"
Zhou Ling had no interest in this kind of fearless competition.
He can use [Illusion Deduction and Simulation] to hone his swordsmanship, so there is no need to compete with Lan Daobai.
"Don't worry, I have a Haoyuan Pill in my hand, no matter what the result of the competition is?"
"I will give you this Haoyuan Pill. It can help you restore your mana and will not affect the next competition!"
"And my cultivation will be suppressed at the early stage of the Golden Core, and I will not take advantage of you!"
Lan Daobai said with a smile.
He is now at the pinnacle of Jindan cultivation, and his major is thunder-attribute swordsmanship.
His strength is naturally far superior to Zhou Ling's.
I don’t want people to say that I am bullying the small.
But to condense the golden elixir, the magic power can already condense the elixir realm, so it cannot be suppressed to the foundation-building realm.
"Zhou Ling, just learn from Mr. Lan. This will be helpful to your swordsmanship."
The dean of the palace said with a slight smile.
"This, okay!"
Hearing Dean Gong's words, Zhou Ling could only nod.
It's not that he's worried about consumption. After all, he has the [Restore to Original] talent and he will recover quickly.
"Okay, then let's go to the sword academy competition venue!"
Lan Daobai stood up immediately and left the room first.
Zhou Ling also got up and followed.
The Dean of the Palace and other teachers also followed the two of them.
The competition venue of Jiutian Sword Academy is more than a hundred feet away to the east of the main hall.
Everyone will arrive soon.
The entire competition venue is very spacious, almost the same as the Xuanyuan Taoist Temple Square.
They are all paved with glazed jade and equipped with a magic circle.
The two landed on the competition stage.
"Teacher Zhou, take action first!"
Lan Daobai's tone sounded very confident, and his aura was extremely powerful. In his opinion, as long as he drew his sword, Zhou Ling would never be able to stop him.
"Lan Jiaoxi, then I will be offended!"
Zhou Ling cupped his hands and smiled.
Then five colors of light flashed in his hand, and five five-element swords flew out.
In an instant, a Five Elements Sword Domain was condensed.
At the same time, Dean Gong and others also came to sit around the competition stage and watch.
"I didn't expect that Zhou Ling's foundation-building cultivation level could actually control five third-order and five-element swords at the same time. It's really not easy!"
Watching Zhou Ling condense the Five Elements Sword Realm, Taoist Sun couldn't help but marvel.
Generally speaking, only Jindan monks can control the third-level sword and exert its maximum combat power.
But with Zhou Ling's foundation-building cultivation, he could not only control the third-level sword, but also the fifth level.
This is no longer rare, but terrifying!
"Dean, Mr. Lan's Lei Gang sword energy is extremely violent. It's not that easy for Mr. Zhou to block it!"
Taoist Sun couldn't help but tell Dean Gong.
Originally, the lightning attribute sword energy was mainly used for killing and was very powerful.
Lan Daobai has been in the third realm for many years, and now he is three steps into the third realm.
Even if his cultivation is suppressed at the early stage of Jindan, Zhou Ling may not be his opponent.
"We'll know after we see it!"
Dean Palace smiled and looked relaxed.
She saw Zhou Ling kill two fourth-level monsters with her own eyes.
If he goes all out, Lan Daobai may not be able to defeat Zhou Ling even if he doesn't suppress his cultivation.
"It begins."
At this time, another teacher shouted.
On the competition ground, as the Five Elements Sword Domain roared, a fiery red sword energy swept towards Lan Daobai.
The torrent of sword energy was like a volcano erupting. Even across the defensive formation, everyone present could feel the fierce and blazing aura.
"Yes, this kind of sword domain is enough to deal with Jindan monks!"
Lan Daobai smiled and said.
"However, swordsmanship requires more practical experience, and it cannot only be achieved by superior understanding and talent!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Daobai moved his hand, and the sword energy in his hand roared out, and a thunder sword field condensed in front of him.
A sword field of seven to eight feet bloomed, and a violent sword energy bombarded Zhou Ling's sword field.
The power released from it is extremely terrifying.
Boom!
The Thunder Sword Domain and the Flame Sword Qi violently bombarded.
Sword energy surged in the air.
The astonishingly powerful sword energy soared into the sky.
Accompanied by the astonishing roar of thunder.
The entire competition stage was reflected in a sky filled with purple light, and the scope of the Thunder Sword Domain continued to expand.
The surging momentum is about to wrap up the Five Elements Sword Domain and completely destroy it.
The sword energy was violent and violent, releasing dazzling thunder amidst the roaring and whistling. The entire sword field was like a thundercloud of heavenly calamity, with great power!
[You are observing the Thunder Cloud Sword Domain, Intermediate Observation +1]
[You are analyzing Thunder Cloud Sword Domain, intermediate analysis +1]
As the two talents emerged, Zhou Ling quickly learned that the sword technique Lan Daobai majored in was the Thunder Cloud Sword.
You can even see some shortcomings in the sword domain.
Zhou Ling's eyes narrowed slightly, and he pointed a little, and the Five Elements Sword Domain changed again, converging into a huge sword energy furnace.
He instantly inhaled the Thunder Sword Qi into it.
Then the sword energy of the sword energy furnace roared, and the thunder sword domain gradually shrank, and finally only a faint flicker of sword light remained.
"What, Zhou Ling's Five Elements Sword Domain is so powerful?"
Seeing the mine field being broken in this way, the teachers who watched showed an expression of disbelief.
You must know that the thunder attribute is mainly offensive, and other attribute sword fields can rarely take advantage of it in head-to-head confrontation.
But in Zhou Ling's Five Elements Sword Domain, it seems very simple to break through the Thunder Domain without seeing any pressure!
