  Chapter 12: Lingfeng Swordsmanship

  As soon as the sword was drawn, a fierce and murderous aura spread out!

  In the small martial arts arena, eight stone pillars stand upright, with some faint sword marks visible on top, which should be left by the disciples who lived here before.

  Using a sword is different from using fists, and for both ordinary people and martial artists, weapons can bring a kind of innate advantage. Therefore, for martial artists, having a powerful weapon can naturally increase their combat effectiveness by a notch.

  As Lin Yi knew it, this world had ordinary weapons and spiritual equipment used by warriors. Spiritual equipment was extremely precious, and ordinary warriors didn't have the qualifications to own them.

  The special thing about this spiritual instrument is that it can merge with the soul of the instrument, and the more souls it merges with, the stronger it becomes. The power of this spiritual instrument will naturally increase exponentially, to the point where it's terrifying and leaves people speechless.

  The rarity of the artifact soul has also led many warriors to flock to it, triggering a series of treasure-hunting bloodbaths. And for thousands of years, the "Artifact Soul List" compiled by countless strongmen on the Tianqi Continent has recorded the twenty most powerful artifact souls, and any artifact soul that can be listed is priceless, driving countless top-notch warriors crazy.

  Kill! Lin Yi drew his sword and walked away, fiercely slashing out, instantly moving the whole person, flashing into the stone array, relying on his own understanding, began to practice the swordsmanship of this world.

  Lingfeng Fist is the only skill that Lin Yi has learned, and at this moment, it was directly merged with his swordsmanship, making it a case of "one move countering three", an innate talent that shocks people!

  One sword, two swords...

  Lingfeng Quan has only ten moves, and the swordsmanship displayed by Lin Yi also has only ten moves, integrating all the attacking movements he has grasped, which is surprisingly more brilliant than the original!

  Ding! The sound of sword ringing, like a gust of wind whistling!

  When the fist is fast, the fist intent can produce a fist sound, and the sword method is the same. The sword intent can also produce a sword sound that is stronger than the fist sound!

  Second time!

  Lin Yi didn't need to rack his brains, relying on the experience of several tens of thousands of years from his past life, combined with the rules of this world, he created a set of skills that had only ten sword moves, Lingfeng Swordsmanship!

  Ding! Ding! Two consecutive sword hums, continuously thundering out like lightning!

  When the fifth sword hum appeared, it was no longer a simple "ding" sound, but an earth-shattering explosion like a sword sweeping across the sky, as if the blade had split the great bell!

  The sixth chime! The seventh chime!

  Lin Yi's progress could only be described as rapid, with each sword strike increasing in speed by a factor of two. By the seventh resonance, the air was filled with countless sword shadows, constantly swirling and dancing, to the point where Lin Yi's true form was no longer visible!

  Indeed, swift as the wind!

  He Qi and Nan Gong Wan heard the rumbling sound, thinking that someone was fighting outside, rushed out in a hurry, saw Lin Yi's swordsmanship, and were immediately stunned!

  They felt that their gap with Lin Yi was too big!

  The Eighth Tone!

  Lin Yi blinked and had already swung out five swords, each sword's power was astonishing, fiercely chopping onto the stone pillar, sending debris flying everywhere, leaving behind deep gashes, as if writing with a brush!

  The Ninth Chime!

  Everything has its own way of flowing into a canal. The sword intent that others can only comprehend after years of hard work, Lin Yi had already grasped it long ago and didn't need to take any detours!

  Swordsmanship, for Lin Yi, seemed as simple as eating and sleeping!

  Ka! The power of this final sword strike was astonishing, Lin Yi directly chopped the blade into that stone pillar, if a person were standing here, they would probably have been split in two long ago!

  "How amazing!" Nangong Yuanyuan clapped her hands repeatedly, and the girl's heart worshiped and begged, "Lin Yi brother, can you teach me swordsmanship?"

  Lin Yi put away his own sword, seemingly completely ignoring the two of them, turned around and went back into the house, without saying a word, as cold as an iceberg!

  Nangong Wan's face fell as she pursed her lips, "Hmph, what's so great about that? How rude!"

  "But he's indeed very formidable!" He Qiu clenched his fist, shocked in his heart. It's said that Tianxuan Sect has hidden dragons and crouching tigers, it seems to be true. My talent is mediocre, I guess I can only rely on hard work to catch up.

  Lin Yi returned to his house and did not rest but instead began to absorb spiritual energy.

  Last time he absorbed too much spiritual energy, and Lin Yi's body slowly digested it. Now Lin Yi's physical body is even stronger and should be able to hold more spiritual energy.

  Lin Yi sat on the bed, resorting to his old trick, directly releasing his maximum spiritual power to control the spirit energy!

  The essence of spiritual energy is power, and if you want to truly control it, you can only rely on mental strength!

  Martial power can affect the spirit energy, but it is absolutely impossible to control.

  Soon, the surrounding spiritual energy fluctuated and, under Lin Yi's guidance, formed a strong whirlpool. The whirlpool grew larger and larger, stirring up all the spiritual energy, concentrating it around Lin Yi's body, then penetrating through his skin and entering his body!

  Because of his previous experience, Lin Yi was even bolder this time, absorbing spiritual energy at the fastest speed to transform this body!

  It didn't even fill up!

  This round of spiritual energy was absorbed into his body, giving Lin Yi a feeling that he still had something left to give. It seemed that after becoming a warrior, the endurance of this body had indeed increased by a lot!

  Another round!

  When this space was replenished with spiritual energy, Lin Yi once again carried out an explosive absorption, quickly guiding it into his body. This time, he finally had a feeling of saturation. If he did it one more time, his body would be unable to withstand it!

  Unfortunately, he still can't break through the second layer of Lian Jing! Lin Yi shook his head in disappointment, unaware that his cultivation speed was at least a hundred times faster than others.

  While Lin Yi was absorbing the spiritual energy, the green jade pendant on his neck was also secretly absorbing the spiritual energy at a slow speed.

  Lin Yi naturally discovered it and didn't pay much attention to it, until his cultivation was complete. He suddenly found that the aura on this jade pendant had become stronger. With a probe of spiritual power, he found that it was emitting a "whirring" sound inside.

  No, it's not the wind, but wailing!

  Lin Yi was surprised, and in this jade pendant, there were actually a woman's crying sounds!

  "Who is it?" Lin Yi used his spiritual power to easily inject his thoughts into the jade pendant and then said.

  That mysterious person seemed to have heard Lin Yi's words and suddenly stopped crying, remaining silent for a long time before transmitting a cautious voice, "...Is that Easy?"

  Lin Yi's mind suddenly rang out, although it had been ten years since he last heard it, but this gentle voice, he would always remember, "Mother... dear!"

  "It's really Yi'er...... Waaah!" The woman burst into tears again, but looked extremely delighted. "My Yi'er is still alive, that's great, heaven has eyes..."

  The woods were excited and delighted, Lin Yiwu could feel it, his heart was aching with a pang of pain!

  The woman who was locked in the heavenly prison for the rest of her life, unable to bear the pain of losing her relatives, had white hair like frost. She could only think about her son from time to time, and after ten years, day and night, she missed him so much that she didn't even know if her child was still alive!

  "Mother, are you okay?" Lin Yi asked as calmly as possible, but his face was trembling.

  "Good! Everything is fine for Niang, really!" Lin Youyou was obviously lying. A mother's heart knows her child's pain, "Yi'er, huh?"

  "I'm fine too, Mother!" Lin Yi clenched his fists tightly. "Don't worry, Mother, I will definitely rescue him from the Heavenly Prison!"

  "Don't say such rebellious words, it's a serious crime, and you'll never be able to leave the heavenly prison. As long as you live well, Mother will be happy!" Lin Youyou sighed and advised worriedly, "Never offend Father, you don't know how terrifying he is, do you?"

  Lin Yi remained silent, not responding. He didn't want to worry his mother and couldn't give up on saving her, so he changed the subject: "Mother, what's going on with this jade pendant? Can you tell me about it?"

  Lin let out a sigh of relief and slowly told the story of the jade pendant.

  It turned out that when Lin Youyou gave birth to Lin Yi, she went to a temple to draw lots and the monk gave her this Lingyu pendant. The mother and son each carried half of it, absorbing the spiritual essence of people, which would allow the two to communicate spiritually and speak to each other across thousands of miles.

  Ten years without seeing each other, the mother and son chatted a lot. Lin Youyou reminisced about past events, talking about how she was stunningly beautiful in her youth, turning heads wherever she went. Lin Yi was naturally the most loyal listener, enjoying the genuine laughter from his mother, like a proud and spoiled young girl being praised.

  As for the past decade, Lin Yi could only tell a lie, saying that he was only imprisoned in a mansion, where he had plenty of food and drink, and could even practice martial arts, living a carefree life.

  This chat was an unconscious all-nighter, and it wasn't until dawn that Lin Yi reluctantly closed the Lingyu and took a short nap.

  On the second day, all the new disciples gathered at the foot of Tianxuan Mountain. Lin Yi took a glance and estimated that there were about thirty or forty people. The strongest had already reached the third level of Lianjing, while the weakest was naturally him, who was only at the first level of Lianjing.

  "This assessment is very simple, everyone enters the back mountain forest, hunts and kills the demon beasts inside, and gets the most beast cores to get the reward of spiritual stones!" Bai He gathered all his disciples and began to arrange the assessment. "The first place can get three spiritual stones, the second place two, the third place one, and others can also get some elixirs!"

  This assessment is actually for training new disciples and isn't very strict, otherwise they wouldn't have let Bai He, an outer disciple, be in charge.

  "Ling Stone!" Upon hearing this thing, all the warriors' eyes lit up.

  Ling stone is a natural wonder of heaven and earth, since ancient times it has been the most powerful aid for warriors to cultivate. One piece of ling stone can even directly increase the cultivation speed by tenfold, so warriors naturally flock to it like ducks to water, wishing they could get their hands on an endless supply of ling stones.

  Unfortunately, high-grade spirit stones are extremely valuable and only wealthy families with a deep foundation can afford them!

  Tian Xuan Zong took out a Ling Stone as a reward in an entrance assessment, showing off his wealth.

  "Of course, the calculation rules for beast cores are also different. A first-class demon beast's core counts as one, a second-class demon beast's core counts as two, and a third-class demon beast's core counts as three!" Bai He said carefully.

  "In the assessment, it is allowed to snatch the beast core from others, but absolutely do not allow killing people. Otherwise, you will be directly expelled from Tianxuan Sect!" Bai He's tone changed, with a strong and authoritative air, "You all find your own teammates, three people in a group. Those who are ready can set off immediately. You must return before sunset, otherwise, your score will be invalid!"

  The crowd suddenly exploded, and the more than 30 disciples quickly began to search for their teammates. Some arrogant warriors, such as Chen Shan, directly charged into the dense forest alone.

  Among these people, the weakest are Lin Yi, He Qiu and Nangong Wan. They are basically at the first level of Lianjing, and no warrior is willing to form a team with them.

  He Qiu and Nan Gong Wan had already become familiar with each other, so they automatically walked together, then searched around for another teammate.

  "Big brother, let's form an alliance!"

  "Scram! Two cultivation realms in one go, wasting Laozi's time!"

  Nangong Wan had a spirit that was unyielding and resilient, propping up her chin, searching everywhere for teammates, only to be met with rejection time and again.

  At last, her eyes lit up and she spotted Lin Yi who was about to enter the forest alone. She quickly chased after him, "Lin Yi gege, wait!"

  Lin Yi furrowed his brow and honestly, he really didn't want to bring these two burdens along!

  "Go find someone else, I don't like teaming up!" Lin Yi said calmly.

  Nangong Wan bit her lip in frustration and almost threw herself at Lin Yi's legs, "No one is left, they've all gone!"

  Lin Yi turned his head and looked back, indeed, all the disciples had basically entered the dense forest, leaving only the three of them, the three who were disliked!

  "Let's go!" Lin Yi furrowed his brow and had already entered the dense forest.

  "Hehe, let's go!" Nangong Wan smiled happily and hurriedly waved at He Qiu.

  Three people, the last group entered the dense forest!

  Assessment, start!
