Chapter 2 (1/2)
Chapter 2 – Beat Zhang Hu Up (part one)
“Lift sword as wind…”
“Sword goes with the wind…”
“A sword tailing the wind…”
…
Xuan Tian was practicing sword arts on the backside of the outer mountain of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
After that mysterious experience in the ‘Illusionary Sword Pool’, Xuan Tian had not only boosted his strength by two layers, but he also gained an unbelievably high understanding of sword arts.
In ranking sword cultivation, there are ten stages: Sword Novice, Comprehension, Minor success, Ascension, Enlightenment, Great Success, Mastery, Pure, Perfection, and Divine.
Before that mysterious experience, Xuan Tian was at the sixth stage ‘Great Success’, now he is currently at the tenth stage ‘Divine’ of the Wind Trail Sword technique.
Xuan Tian felt the sword was an extension of his arm, an integrated part of him.
“Maybe it is because of that ‘little lily white sword’ that is inside my frontal bone. My perception of swords is over ten times faster. It is like one of my arms. My understanding of sword skills improved over ten times too.”
“Hoo…”
The moment when Xuan Tian swept his sword, a piercing noise could be heard in the air, the upper part of a cathaya as thick as a bowl from ten steps away was cut off and fell onto the ground.
“Hoo…”
Xuan Tian stopped and stood, he pressed his chest with two fingers and gathered qi into his dantian. He exhaled very slowly.
When he balanced his breath, he looked at the slashed cathaya from ten steps away and beamed.
He walked a few steps to the slashed cathaya. With a smile of joy, he stroked the cut which was as smooth as a mirror.
“Sword Qi, it is Sword Qi from the Seventh Warrior Layer. I am only at the Sixth Warrior Layer, but I already have Sword Qi from the Seventh Warrior Layer. My Sword Qi cut off a cathaya as thick as a bowl from ten steps away. It can even reach as far as twenty steps away.”
“Being able to release Sword Qi is a symbol of the Seventh Warrior Layer. But a Sword Qi from the Seventh Warrior Layer can only go as far as ten steps. Only the Eighth Warrior Layer can strike sword qi as far as twenty steps away.”
“What really is the sword shadow in the ‘Illusionary Sword Pool’? It not only advanced my cultivation by two layers, but it also boosted my strength to the Eighth Warrior Layer.”
“Plus, my understanding of Wind Trail Sword has reached the limit. It is legendary! This middle-cla.s.s sword skill at Huang Rank is as powerful as an upper-cla.s.s sword skill. It even released an attack through Sword Qi.”
Xuan Tian stroked his frontal bone slowly, murmuring. His voice was full of surprise.
“My father did not teach me Xuan’s sword skills and rules. I am not an outstanding talent in the Heavenly Sword Sect. Because I did not learn high-layer sword skills and rules, I thought I couldn’t have the chance for revenge. However, this mysterious experience makes it possible.”
“Xuan Ji, Yin Ji, you dog couple, wait and see, I will come to you and cut off your head with my three-foot sharp-edged sword!”
Xuan Tian clenched his fist with full confidence in his heart.
