Chapter 8 Unlocking Sword Skills

Unconsciously, twenty days had passed since Lin Xiao arrived at the Black Wind Mountains.

It was still dawn, but Lin Xiao had already come out of the cave and came to a forest to practice swordplay.

There were only ten days left before the four major colleges began recruiting students. Lin Xiao dared not be negligent and did not dare to waste a single minute or a second. He had to improve his strength as much as possible so that he could be more confident in the recruitment.

The red sun rose slowly, and Lin Xiao stood in the forest Zheng

Bang!

Lin Xiao stepped on the ground, and the spiritual energy in his body surged like a spring. The surrounding trees trembled together, and with the sound of "clattering", many leaves fell down.

A sharp light flashed in his eyes, and Lin Xiao jumped up, raised his sword and swung out three swords in an instant.

Swish!

Three sword shadows flashed by, and three leaves were directly broken in half.

Cut three leaves with one sword!

Landing smoothly, Lin Xiao waved his hand casually, and the long sword made a sound of sword chanting.

After several days of continuous practice, Lin Xiao's sword skills have become more solid, and the speed and power of the sword, as well as the control of the angle, have made a qualitative leap compared to before.

Of course, this is inseparable from Bai Yuan's careful teaching, which has made Lin Xiao take fewer detours. In addition, Lin Xiao's hard practice and his own talent have made such great progress in a short period of time.

Yes, now Lin Xiao is already a qualified sword cultivator.

First, Lin Xiao sat on a stone. Around him were the corpses of dozens of monsters. Above the corpses, there were faint rays of light floating.

These are the fifth-level monsters of the Gathering Spirit Realm, the blood-eating wolves. Lin Xiao accidentally broke into their territory. After a bloody battle, this is the scene.

After dozens of fights, Lin Xiao's actual combat experience has greatly increased, and his mind has become more mature and calm. Now his face is no longer as childish as before, but full of fortitude.

After a rest, Lin Xiao sacrificed the Soul-Swallowing Sword and swallowed all the monster souls.

Just as the Soul Devouring Sword swallowed the last demon soul, it suddenly shook violently, and the sword was covered with a layer of white light, emitting bursts of sword sounds.

Lin Xiao tightly grasped the Soul Devouring Sword and hurriedly asked in his sea of ​​consciousness, "Uncle Bai, Uncle Bai, this Soul Devouring Sword..."

"Haha, don't worry," Bai Yuan's voice came, laughing, "This is a sign that the Soul Devouring Sword is upgrading. These, it has swallowed a lot of souls, which is enough for it to upgrade."

"You just watch carefully on the side. After the upgrade, it will unlock a sword skill."

"Sword skill?" Lin Xiao looked curious and immediately put the Soul Devouring Sword on the ground.

At this moment, the Soul Devouring Sword was covered with white light, trembling constantly, and emitting bursts of excited sword chants.

Then, strands of light of various colors swam out of the sword. They were the souls it swallowed. These souls hovered over the Soul Devouring Sword, and then turned into a touch of white energy, which was sucked into the Soul Devouring Sword one after another.

After absorbing enough energy, the Soul Devouring Sword suddenly emitted a high-pitched sword sound.

"Buzz!"

Then, the white light on the surface gradually dissipated, the rust slowly peeled off, and finally the Soul-Swallowing Sword calmed down, with a layer of lustrous luster flowing on the surface.

Lin Xiao walked over, picked up the Soul-Swallowing Sword, and waved it casually. A shallow trace of air broke through the air, and the big tree a few meters away was cut off.

"Xuan-level sword, it's really powerful." Lin Xiao couldn't help but exclaimed, and he clearly felt that this Soul-Swallowing Sword was more spiritual and powerful than before.

At this moment, some more information suddenly appeared in his mind.

Xuan-level sword skills, spiritual energy burst, control the energy on the blade, burst out in an instant, releasing a sharp sword energy, the sword energy is like a rainbow, unstoppable...

Checking the information of this sword skill, Lin Xiao couldn't help but exclaimed, "What a domineering sword skill."

"That's natural, don't look at this as just a Xuan-level sword skill, that was thousands of years ago, put it now, it is also equivalent to a spiritual-level sword skill." Bai Yuan's voice came.

"Spiritual sword skills!" Lin Xiao's face was even more shocked, and then he was ecstatic. With this spiritual sword skill, his strength would definitely be greatly improved.

"Your foundation is relatively solid, and you should be able to learn this sword skill quickly. However, if you want to practice it to perfection, you still need a long time of practice and comprehension." Bai Yuan said.

Lin Xiao nodded. Through these practices, he could also feel that the way of swordsmanship is a long road that requires constant exploration and thinking, and there is no end.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao immediately devoted himself to practice again.

He made rapid progress in the way of swordsmanship, but in terms of realm, Lin Xiao was stuck in the late fourth level of the Gathering Spirit Realm.

This is mainly because the Gathering Spirit Array, which can only be used ten times, has been used up, and the pills on his body have been consumed. Lin Xiao can only rely on absorbing the spiritual energy of the earth to practice.

Although he has the blessing of the Soul Devouring Art, his practice speed is several times faster than that of ordinary people, but the spiritual veins have a great demand for spiritual energy. For a while, Lin Xiao could not break through the realm, and he did not make such rapid progress as before.

"It seems that it is time to leave." Lin Xiao said softly. In these places in the Black Wind Mountains, he killed hundreds of monsters, and their bodies were stored in the storage ring. The storage ring was actually the formation ring that Lin Xiao used.

These monsters are not low in rank, and they should be able to sell a lot of gold coins. With gold coins, you can buy elixirs and speed up the breakthrough.

So, Lin Xiao walked out of the mountains.

Not long after Lin Xiao walked, suddenly, the ground under his feet trembled.

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then the ground shook more and more, and a huge sound came from behind him.

Boom, boom, boom! !

"Is it an earthquake?" Lin Xiao frowned, and at this moment, a fierce breath approached from behind.

This breath... Lin Xiao was shocked, and his frown deepened. This breath was at least above the eighth level of the Gathering Spirit Realm.

"Howl--" A deafening roar broke through the sky and resounded through the clouds.

"It's a monster!"

Lin Xiao's face changed. A monster that could release such a breath was definitely not something he could deal with. Without hesitation, it was too late to escape. Lin Xiao immediately got into the nearby bushes.

Not long after, the ground shook more and more violently. Lin Xiao saw a monster running towards this side through the gaps between the grass leaves.

As the monster got closer and closer, Lin Xiao also saw its appearance clearly.

This was a flaming war rhino, a ninth-level monster in the Gathering Spirit Realm. It was covered with blazing flames, covered with heavy scales, and had a single horn on its head, as sharp as a spear.

Whether in terms of defense or destructive power, this Fiery War Rhino is extremely terrifying. In this Black Wind Mountain Range, all the monsters will stay away from it.

However, what puzzled Lin Xiao was that this powerful monster should only move in the central area, and he was located on the periphery of the mountain range. Logically, the Fiery War Rhino would not easily leave his territory.

"Howl--" The Fiery War Rhino raised his head and howled, running rapidly, with scars all over his body, and a trace of fear flashed across his eyes, as if something terrible was following him behind.

Whoosh--

The sound of breaking wind sounded, and a figure suddenly came from a distance, passing over the head of the Fiery War Rhino and blocking it.

When seeing this figure, the pupils of the Fiery War Rhino shrank suddenly, and he hurriedly stopped, with deep fear in his eyes.

The figure was a young man in a long gown, in his early twenties, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, a stern face, a long sword on his back, and his eyes were as sharp as a blade.

Seeing that the retreat route had been blocked, the Fiery Rhino roared, stopped running, and rushed directly towards the young man.

The Fiery Rhino lowered his head, exuding an extremely powerful aura. Every time he took a step, the ground would crack. The horn on his head cut through the air, flashing a cold luster, as if it could pierce a strand of

Seeing that the Fiery Rhino was about to kill him, at this moment, a cold light suddenly flashed in the eyes of the young man in the long gown, and the next moment, he instantly appeared on the top of the Fiery Rhino's head.

Swoosh——

The young man in the long gown drew out his long sword and then slashed it with one sword.

Chi!

A flash of sword light flashed, and time and space seemed to be frozen at this moment.

The next second, the head of the Fiery Rhino flew up, and blood splattered.

Boom!

The huge body fell down with a bang, and died on the spot.

"What!" Lin Xiao widened his eyes, shocked in his heart. That was a ninth-level demon in the Gathering Spirit Realm. The young man in the long gown killed it with just one sword.

What a fast and sharp sword, Lin Xiao exclaimed in his heart.

At this moment, another sound of breaking wind was heard.

Immediately, a figure appeared beside the young man. It was a middle-aged man in a green robe with a calm expression, his eyes fell on the corpse on the ground.

"Qingfeng, your sword energy is stronger, I think you are one step closer to becoming a sword king." The middle-aged man smiled.

Qingfeng shook his head, "It's still a little short of the right time, otherwise it wouldn't have run so far."

"Master, the monsters in the Black Wind Mountains are really weak. Even the monsters in the center can't withstand a few of my swords. The monsters in the Death Forest are thick-skinned and thick-fleshed."

"Alas, I've heard you complain all the way," the middle-aged man shrugged, "Our Sword-Asking Academy came to Dark Star City to recruit students this time. It was originally just my business. You might as well stay in the academy and practice. You know, there are many people in the academy who are working hard to practice and want to surpass you."

Qingfeng's face was indifferent, and he didn't care. "If they have that strength, I welcome them at any time. For two years, no one has ever taken my first place in the Sword-Asking Ranking. I really hope someone can surpass me. Being invincible is too lonely."

The middle-aged man smiled faintly and said nothing.

"Come out." Suddenly, Qingfeng shouted.

Hearing this, Lin Xiao's body trembled suddenly. The other party's words were obviously directed at him. He didn't expect that he tried his best to suppress his breath and didn't move, but still exposed his position.

The other party was able to kill the big monster with one sword, and he was definitely not his opponent. In front of such a master, running away was a foolish thing to do. Lin Xiao sighed and simply came out of the bushes.

In his sea of ​​consciousness, there was an ancient great man like Bai Yuan sitting in charge. If there was really danger, Lin Xiao believed that Uncle Bai would definitely find a way to save him.

Seeing Lin Xiao coming out, Qingfeng's face was still cold, but then, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and a hint of playfulness appeared at the corner of his mouth.

And the middle-aged man also nodded slightly, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

"Master, what do you think?" Qingfeng said suddenly.

"At such a young age, the foundation of swordsmanship is so solid, and the breath is strong, it's really good." The middle-aged man nodded, as if he saw through Lin Xiao's strength at a glance.

Swoosh——

Qingfeng drew out his long sword, and pointed the tip of the sword at Lin Xiao, "Zi, you are qualified to take my sword."

Hearing this, Lin Xiao was startled, and then frowned, "What do you mean, do we know each other? Why do you want me to take your sword?"

"Zi, this is your honor, stop talking nonsense, and draw your sword." Qingfeng said lightly.

"Don't talk nonsense. If you really want to compete with me, you should respect your opponent. There are differences in strength among sword cultivators, but there is no difference in personality. Although I am not strong, I also understand this." Lin Xiao said neither servile nor arrogant.

Hearing this, Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth slightly raised. What an interesting child.

The middle-aged man on the side also smiled faintly. Regardless of the child's strength, this calm and unhurried, neither servile nor arrogant character is already worthy of people looking up to him.
