Spirit Emperor - C64
On the second day, Lee Xun gathered the eighteen elite disciples as well as Zhang Shuai and the others. The reason why the four of them weren’t around was because the four of them were following Baili Hong for training. It looked like the four of them were going to suffer this time, even without the old man personally coming out, Lee Xun didn’t need to guess to know what the four of them were going to experience next.
“Tell me, how was the battle before?”
Amongst the people, Zhang Shuai was the best in terms of eloquence, so he spoke up. Senior brother, that day’s lineup was really big. There were three thousand people. Because we received the news in advance, all of us disciples are gathered at the main hall. Those three thousand people were really arrogant, they directly rushed to the sword training grounds in front of the main hall, making the Sect Leader people surrender. The Sect Leader people were also very fierce, one of them going out to fight against all four of their Sect Leader s, and after injuring two of them, the bunch of bastards rushed out to surround and attack the Sect Leader people, and then we heard a loud whistling sound, followed by someone shouting ‘Kill!’, and we followed the crowd and rushed out. Luckily, our Heavenly Academy were arranged in the front, Su Mu and I cut a few of them down, and the elders and senior brothers and sisters killed a lot more. It was really strange, those people just stood there and let us chop them down. Many of the disciples who were assigned to the other three sides didn’t even have the chance to draw their swords. We all guessed that the clan elders within the Sword Sect must have made the first move to restrain those people. What a terrifying method. In the end, those bastards still ran away. The people of Sect Leader did not allow us to chase after them. In the end, the statistics showed that no one died or was injured. At this point, everyone laughed.
This was truly not a battle of the same level at all. With zero losses, he had actually killed close to three thousand cultivators, and there was definitely no lack of Human Rank experts amongst them. But Lee Xun believed that the old man and Baili Feng must have fought. Although Lee Xun couldn’t use Elemental Power now, he still understood the basic knowledge of it. If the difference in strength was too big, then controlling the opponent from a certain distance would be too easy.
“Looks like Qin Qing and I really worried for nothing. Although we didn’t think that our Sword Sect would suffer too much, we didn’t expect it to be zero.”
“Hehe, Senior Brother, you don’t know this, but the people of Sect Leader have announced that we have suffered hundreds of casualties. But we were followed by a few dozen other Elders who were charging in front. How could we not know the truth? Zhang Shuai was also very proud. Who wouldn’t be proud of being able to serve such a powerful sect?
“Oh right, Zhou Jie and the others went to receive their special training. So there’s one thing I’d like to ask your opinion about, and whether you’re willing to take the special training. Through this battle, although the process is very easy, but you should already know how big the gap is between us and a true expert. I do not want you all to become the people who will one day be hacked in place by others. ” Lee Xun’s expression was very serious.
“Senior Brother, if you didn’t mention it, we would have already asked. Yesterday afternoon, when we saw Zhou Jie and the other three go out with their bags and bags, we were guessing that you, Senior Brother, would like to give us a special training when you come back this time. Honestly speaking, our Tianshan Sword Sect has killed so many people this time, so we have offended so many people. When we go out in the future, it would be hard to avoid meeting people who seek revenge on us. Lu Tuan said. Amongst the eighteen people, he and Lee Xun were the ones who spoke the most freely.
“Senior Brother, please arrange it. I will definitely participate.” I killed a man that night. I shot three times into his body, and he was all right. If this was a normal duel, I would have been the one to die, so I have to become stronger as soon as possible. ”
“That’s right. Senior Brother, you should set it up. I don’t want to be unable to fight back when I meet an enemy in the future.”
Just as Lu Tuan had said, although the previous great battle had ended with a complete victory for the Heavenly Mountain Sect, it did not mean that it was over. Perhaps that was just the beginning.
“…”
Lee Xun was not wrong about these people. Although the victory was extremely easy, they all felt a huge sense of crisis. Especially when Lu Tuan said that in the future, if he went out and met someone for revenge, it would definitely happen.
Lee Xun had gotten the true inheritance from the old man, so in order to improve quickly, he had to work hard to make himself die, the closer he got to death, the more effective he would be. And as his own strength increased, Lee Xun also discovered a fact that overturned the traditional wisdom of this Sword Soul Continent. That was, the best way to increase strength was to first start with body tempering, then mental cultivation, these two were the basics, and in the end, practice sword moves, and get the effect of doubling the result with half the effort. This was a complete cycle.
Lee Xun and Qin Qing had participated in the body tempering this time, but their quantity caused others to feel ashamed. Lee Xun and Qin Qing’s kind guidance made Lu Tuan and the others even more excited, the two of them understood that they were still far from their limits, and their cultivation path was still very long. Heavenly Academy gradually became known as the Madman’s House.
Even after a year, Zhou Jie and the other three still had not come back. Although she was still young, and based on his age, it was normal for his to have three to four times the needs of a Sword Soul to be hunted according to his strength, and now, even Zhang Shuai had only been in Qian Jue’s hands for less than three moves. It made Zhang Shuai and the others feel that their years of cultivation had been given to a dog, but after thinking about how they were both this old man’s direct disciples, Lee Xun also accepted the request.
Lee Xun and Qin Qing had yet to fully adapt to their own abilities. Lee Xun had once suggested that they fight against Baili Feng, wanting to quickly adapt to the situation through continuous battles, but the difference between the two was too big, and Lee Xun was simply unable to handle three moves against Baili Feng. He had to look for Little Qing and test her, and could only say that his increase in level was too outrageous. Xiyin and Little Fire Fox were also still in closed door cultivation. The strength of the eighteen disciples of the Heavenly Academy had increased quite quickly, and the lowest was at the middle of the eighth step, while the highest was at the peak of the ninth step. In other words, if they were to break through again, they would basically reach the standard of a Tianshan Sword Sect Rain Elder.
One day, Ouyang Qingfeng sent someone to invite Lee Xun. Lee Xun knew that it was definitely not a good thing, but he had no choice but to go.
Seeing Lee Xun, Ouyang Qingfeng also shook his head and laughed bitterly. He could feel that Lee Xun’s current mental state seemed to be a little stronger than his own, but of course, he had already heard it from Baili Hong a long time ago. When he thought about how he was going to let Lee Xun be his successor two years ago, he could only give up on this idea. Lee Xun, you’re here. Come, come, come, there’s something I need to discuss with you. ”
Seeing Ouyang Qingfeng being so polite, Lee Xun was even more certain that there was nothing good going on, and said: “If you have something to say, just say it, don’t force it.”
“Yesterday, the Pineflower Country sent a messenger, requesting us to send some people to support them. The Tianshan Country royal family has already agreed to their request, at the same time, the two nations have formed a strategic alliance, the situation in the south is too chaotic right now. ”
“Then you can just send some elders. It’s not like I have to go to war, right?”
“Not really. The Seven Sects Alliance still remembered that they still refused to give up. Although the Southern Sword Sect Alliance had already collapsed, the five nations that the Seven Sects belonged to had formed their Alliance of Five again, and they wanted to take over all the territories in the southern region. Pineflower Country was one of the top three nations in the southern region, but compared to Alliance of Five, it was far too lacking. Once Pineflower Country was completed, then Tianshan Country would be very dangerous as well. No matter how strong our Tianshan Sword Sect is, it is impossible for us to be hostile to so many countries. Battles between Alliance of Five and others had already become unavoidable, but since they wanted to gain the initiative, they decided to send their missions over to Pineflower Country for negotiations. Negotiations were fake, the inside of the divided Pineflower Country was the real thing. In addition, they also proposed to challenge all practitioners under thirty years of age in Pineflower Country during the negotiation period. This was to suppress the morale of the citizens and the army based on momentum. The matter of the negotiation is naturally unrelated to us, but regarding the challenge, we can help out, since I have a lot of disciples in the Tianshan Sword Sect as well, so I have to help out. ”
“Then, why don’t you choose some of the stronger disciples? Don’t tell me you want me to lead the team?”
“You’re right, the four strongest disciples with Pineflower Country are all at your Heavenly Academy. If you don’t lead the group, those disciples with Heavenly Academy should also go train. What do you think?”
Lee Xun thought that it made sense, training with his Heavenly Academy was not a solution, it needed to be tested using real combat. Since they were going to fight, then this challenge would definitely be a life and death battle, it was a good opportunity.
“Well, is that any good?”
“I don’t have any here, so the Pineflower Country should be plenty, right?”
Knowing that he would not be able to win, Lee Xun did not linger, and stood up to leave.
“Wait a moment, the Tianshan Country envoy seems to know you, and has asked him to go with you to the Heavenly Academy. Once you have settled the matter of Heavenly Academy, bring someone along to the Pineflower Country with you.”
