Chapter 14: The Four Great Sword Paths (1)
(PS: Recommend a urban-type book, can't miss the divine book "My Beautiful President" don't read it and you'll regret it!)
"Clang... clang..." A series of metallic crashing sounds echoed throughout the arena.
Duan Yun and Pang Hai have the same physical constitution, both are fire and wood dual attributes. Half a year ago when they entered the induction period, they began to practice "Yao Yang Liu Jian". They had already practiced the 36 moves of the six swords quite fluently, now when fighting Zhang Qiu, they seemed calm and composed, guiding the true energy in their body into the long sword in their right hand. Suddenly, the surface of the long sword flowed with a green flame, the sword moves were sharp and continuous.
Zhang Qiu was ruthless and vicious, his moves were cruel and poisonous, every strike aimed at Duan Yun's vital spots. However, since both of them used the "Yao Yang Six Swords" and had already practiced for half a year, they were familiar with each other's moves and variations. The only sound on the stage was the clashing of their long swords, and for a while, neither could gain the upper hand.
Victorious gaze tightly staring at the two people fighting, observing their movements while recalling the scene when he practiced "Yao Yang Liu Jian", and mutually verifying with each other. Letting some techniques and details that he didn't notice before slowly merge with his own feelings in his mind. Quite a harvest!
It was then that Chang Sheng thought of a phrase his master had once said. "To effectively and quickly grasp the essence of swordsmanship, one must constantly engage in actual combat and observe others fighting. Only through actual combat can you understand where your weaknesses lie? Only by observing battles between peers can you understand your own shortcomings. Only through these two methods can you comprehend the threshold of the four major realms of sword intent! By doing so, you can enter the realm of the four major sword intents."
The master once said that the four major sword realms are: "Lift light as heavy, lift heavy as light. Light and heavy follow the heart, man and sword unite!"
Now, Chang Sheng had not even touched the edge of that subtle and heavy boundary, but today, through careful observation of Duan Yun's battle, after mutual confirmation, he actually had a faint understanding, which made Chang Sheng very happy.
More than ten minutes of twists and turns, mutual struggle, and comparison of true energy. Two children around nine years old were almost exhausted, and even the weak true energy in their dantian was almost consumed. The shadows slowed down gradually, and the sword moves became a bit disordered. Even if one side revealed an opening, the other side didn't have the strength to attack.
"Stop, this round is a draw." Chen Zhong saw that the two were almost at the edge of exhaustion and swiftly appeared between them, shouting loudly.
Pang Hai and Sun Zhi were somewhat reluctant, but seeing the situation on the stage, they could only reluctantly accept this fact. The two walked to the edge of the stage and assisted the two who were about to leave, lest they fall off due to loss of strength.
Afterwards, both sides started to take turns on the stage, with each side having wins and losses. Since Duan Yun came down, they had been competing continuously for six rounds. The Changsheng side only won two rounds and drew one round, losing three rounds. The remaining three people were Changsheng, Pang Hai, and Nie Chen.
Disciples in the Qi Gathering stage, with scarce true energy within their bodies, can at most sustain a battle of about fifteen minutes. And those who entered Huoyun Sect along with Changsheng, now only around nine years old, have been cultivating for less than a year. Except for a few talented disciples who have cultivated to the Tempering Body stage, the rest are almost all stuck in the middle stage of Qi Gathering.
