I Have A Disciple Simulator - Chapter 81: Spar (7th update)
“One is the disciple of the eldest senior brother, born with the Spirit Sword Physique, and was seen as a genius by everyone during the disciple acceptance ceremony. The other is Lu’s disciple, who was unknown at the time but made a name for himself five years ago. Who among them is truly the foremost among the younger generation of disciples?”
Zhao Wuyan did not oppose their sparring.
Disciples of Mount Shu sparring with each other, stopping at the right moment,
was a common occurrence.
Of course, Zhao Wuyan automatically ignored the abnormal presence of Lu
Qinglian.
Lu Qinglian, the number one of the Huang Tribe, a 15-year-old elder of Mount Shu, couldn’t be compared with ordinary people.
Xiao Xiangdao1 s Spirit Sword Physique was a superior special constitution, which allowed him to have rapid progress in his comprehension of the Sword
Dao.
“Ten thousand years ago, Fairy Qingxia of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion was also born with the Spirit Sword Physique, eventually ascending to the Heaven Rank and soaring up to the Immortal Realm. She might be the strongest Spirit Sword Physique in history. It’s uncertain whether the eldest senior brother’s first disciple can surpass Fairy Qingxia.”
“The first disciple taken by Lu is rather ordinary, but why has his cultivation progressed at such an astonishing speed, even faster than one with the Spirit Sword Physique? It’s truly strange.”
Zhao Wuyan watched the battle from the side, ready to intervene promptly if there was a trend towards a life-and-death struggle.
“Junior brother, do your best.”
Chen Yao sent a telepathic message to Lin Qingzhi.
Lin Qingzhi nodded in response and bowed to Xiao Xiangdao, “Please impart
your guidance.”
“I’ll show you my true capabilities; don’t get defeated by me.
“Let me show you the Dragon-Slaying Sword Skills.
Xiao Xiangdao brought out his Flying Sword, an Acquired Spirit Treasure of medium quality!
Reciting the mnemonic verse, Xiao Xiangdao’s sword light shot up into the sky as he rose into the air, his Daoist robe fluttering, the wind howling and clouds swirling.
Fierce Sword Qi swept in all directions, scraping countless fissures into the ground.
Xiao Xiangdao knew that ordinary swordmanship would not be able to defeat
Lin Qingzhi, so he started with the most powerful sword move he had mastered.
“That’s the eldest senior brother’s Dragon-Slaying Sword Skills! The eldest senior brother actually taught him this move ahead of time!”
Zhao Wuyan couldn’t help but be emotionally moved.
Fang She, an elder of the Nascent Soul Realm from Mount Shu, curiously asked, “Elder Zhao, why have I never seen the eldest senior brother use the Dragon- Slaying Sword Skills? What are they, exactly?”
“Of course, you haven’t seen the eldest senior brother use the Dragon-Slaying Sword Skills because the enemies he faces don’t warrant such a move.
“The Dragon-Slaying Sword Skills are divided into upper, middle, and lower chapters; the upper chapter is a high- grade Heaven Rank cultivation technique, the middle is a low-grade Heaven Rank technique, and even the lower chapter is a mid-grade Earth Rank technique.”
“Xiao Xiangdao is only at the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm. How could the eldest senior brother teach him the mid-grade Earth Rank’s lower chapter of the Dragon-Slaying Sword Skills?”
“That’s right, he’s born with the Spirit Sword Physique, which allows him to have far greater insights into the Sword Dao than ordinary people. That is why the eldest senior brother imparted the Dragon-Slaying Sword Skills to him ahead of time!”
Zhao Wuyan quickly understood why Xiao Xiangdao could use an Earth Rank sword technique.
Xiao Xiangdao, with his Spirit Sword Physique, is definitely an exceptional genius.
just like Fairy Qingxia, also born with the Spirit Sword Physique, who ascended to the Immortal Realm, the potential of the Spirit Sword Physique is boundless; otherwise, the eldest senior brother would not have taken Xiao Xiangdao as a disciple.
Unfortunately for Xiao Xiangdao, he was facing the first disciple taught by Lu Changsheng.
Lin Qingzhi1 s fundamentals were too solid.
Moreover, Lin Qingzhi had achieved Great Perfection in both the Taxuan Skills and Soaring Cloud Sword Technique when he broke through to the Nascent
Soul Realm.
Great Perfection in a high-grade Profound Rank cultivation technique is not inferior to a beginner’s Earth Rank technique.
Lin Qingzhi channeled his fully developed Taxuan Skills, his True Qi took shape, and the Green Abyss Sword shone brightly with a blue light.
“Master said that if my life is in danger, I should not hide my cultivation.”
Lin Qingzhi, acknowledging his own average talent compared to Xiao Xiangdao’s special body constitution, began to summon the power of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Although Lu Changsheng usually taught his disciples to act with discretion, they were not to hold back in the face of danger.
Xiao Xiangdao hovered in the air, his Spirit Sword Physique unleashing Sword Qi in all directions, a supremely fierce Sword Qi streaking towards the Fighting
Bull.
If the Dragon-Slaying Sword Skills were cultivated to the utmost limit, no one would doubt that a single strike could slay a Flood Dragon.
“With the Spirit Sword Physique combined with the Dragon-Slaying Sword Skills, to have such Sword Qi at the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm is just too exaggerated. Xiao Xiangdao also has the capability to slay an Elder of the first level of the Nascent Soul Realm…”
Zhao Wuyan had no doubts about Xiao Xiangdao’s ability to fight across realms. As Zhao Wuyan hesitated over whether to intervene and stop the duel between Xiao Xiangdao and Lin Qingzhi, suddenly, he sensed that Lin Qingzhi’s aura was skyrocketing.
“Indeed, the eldest disciple of Lu has broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm, and it’s not just any Nascent Soul Realm at that. It seems I don’t need to intervene.”
Zhao Wuyan was somewhat relieved.
“Slaying the dragon on the field, its blood as profound as yellow earth!” Xiao Xiangdao activated his Flying Sword, and the pillar of light formed by soaring Sword Qi slashed toward Lin Qingzhi.
“Open Heaven’s Gate!”
Lin Qingzhi used the Lingyun Sword Art at Great Perfection, with cyan Sword Qi from below, rising upward, directly countering Xiao Xiangdao’s move.
Boom!
Golden and cyan Sword Qi devoured each other, the staggering waves of Sword Qi spread out in all directions, kicking up dust and pebbles.
“Ha!”
Lin Qingzhi exerted his first level Nascent Soul strength, and his True Qi burst forth.
Since he wasn’t of a special physique, he would defeat the widely acknowledged peerless genius with his solid cultivation!
The two engaged in a head-on clash of Sword Qi. Xiao Xiangdao was pushed to his limit, and his Spiritual Sword trembled intensely.
“When did you step into the Nascent Soul Realm?!”
Xiao Xiangdao thought he had caught up with Lin Qingzhi, but Lin Qingzhi’s sudden display of Nascent Soul power took Xiao Xiangdao by complete surprise. Thump!
Ultimately outmatched, Xiao Xiangdao was struck by the cyan Sword Qi and sent crashing to the ground, caught just in time by Zhao Wuyan who had reached out to help.
Zhao Wuyan hadn’t expected Lin Qingzhi’s foundation to be so solid. His True Qi was more than twice that of a normal Elder at the first level of the Nascent Soul Realm, which made it impossible for Xiao Xiangdao, who possessed the Spirit Sword Physique, to fight across ranks.
Fairly speaking, at the same realm, with the Spirit Sword Physique and having learned the latter part of the Dragon-Slaying Sword Skills, Xiao Xiangdao would definitely have had the upper hand.
However, Lin Qingzhi’s cultivation was a whole major realm higher than Xiao Xiangdao’s.
Crack.
The sound of shattering echoed from the Green Abyss Sword, the fine Spiritual Artifact passed down by his master, which finally couldn’t withstand the frequent battles and broke apart.
Lin Qingzhi patiently picked up the fragments.
Although he knew his master wouldn’t mind a fine Spiritual Artifact and could award him with an even better magical item at any time, this was, after all, the magical artifact his master had gifted him at the start of his journey. Chen Yao came over and helped Lin Qingzhi to collect the fragments of the Green Abyss Sword.
“I, the third Prince of Liang Kingdom, have actually been defeated by an orphan adopted by a General… I am not content…”
Xiao Xiangdao, after a formal sparring, was defeated by Lin Qingzhi, and he was even less content.
Lin Qingzhi was merely a follower of his in Liang Kingdom, but now, he had grown into an Elder of Mount Shu.
Even Chen Yao, the Direct Disciple of the Supreme Elder, grew closer to Lin Qingzhi.
“As cultivators, we cannot take victory and defeat too seriously, for there is always someone better, and there are heavens beyond our heaven.” “The strongholds of the Joyous Union Sect in Xia Kingdom have been cleared by quite a bit. After sweeping through one or two more, we can return to Mount Shu.”
Seeing that Xiao Xiangdao was not in mortal danger, Zhao Wuyan was reassured.
“I wonder how Lu’s progress is? I’ve already cleared two Joyous Union Sect strongholds in succession.”
