”Is this the true successor, Zhou Tong?”
Just as Zhou Tong was preparing to follow the crowd to look for a cultivation room, suddenly, a middle-aged man walked quickly towards them and smiled at Zhou Tong.
”It is indeed junior. Senior, do you have any advice for me?” Zhou Tong took a glance at the special badge on the middle aged man's chest. This was something only the island's instructors could wear.
”I am here to guide you, following the Island Lord's instructions.” Middle-aged man whispered and laughed.
Hearing that, Zhou Tong's eyes lit up, it looks like Spiritual Master Han Kong had specially taken care of him before, so he immediately cupped his hands: ”Then I will have to thank instructor for leading the way.”
”Hehe, it's fine. Follow me.” The middle-aged man laughed and shook his head, he then swept his gaze across Zhou Tong's body and turned to lead the way.
Following behind this middle-aged man, Zhou Tong walked towards the center of cold air chamber. After a few minutes of winding paths, he stopped outside a rather old cultivation room.
Looking at the extremely run-down training room, Zhou Tong was startled. Seeing Zhou Tong's expression, the middle-aged instructor seemed to know what he was thinking and laughed. Then he pushed the door open and entered.
Standing at the door, Zhou Tong hesitated for a moment before walking in with his head lowered.
Both of his feet stepped into the room, and at the place where his feet landed, a faint cold Qi climbed up from the stone floor along his feet, causing Zhou Tong to feel a cool sensation all over his body.
Although the room was not very big, it was already very spacious for a single Zhou Tong. In the center, there was a large platform that was as large as an ice bed, and the platform was around two inches above the ground.
”The ice bed in the center is the place to train.” The middle-aged man laughed as he walked to the side of the ice bed. He pointed to the ice bed that was extremely cold from the first glance and laughed, ”This cold air chamber was created by the great abilities of the ancestors of my Star Gauze Sword Sect. Every chamber has a subtle difference. The one you are in right now is the oldest, and the most remarkable. The Island Master has specially ordered me to bring you here. I can tell that the Island Master attaches great importance to you. ”
Hearing this, Zhou Tong immediately walked up curiously. His hand moved along the edge of the ice bed and instantly, a wave of cold and sharp air flowed out from his fingertips, causing Zhou Tong to shiver uncontrollably.
”Why does this airflow look so much like sword intent?!”
Zhou Tong looked at his fingertip in surprise. The feeling that the flow of air had brought was exactly the same as the sharpness of the sword intent.
”This is the first time you have entered a quiet room to train, so I have to tell you the rules that you need to pay attention to.” The middle-aged man straightened his body and muttered to himself, ”You should have felt it just now. This ice bed is shrouded by sword intent. I've heard the island master mention you before. You are already able to control the sword intent, so I won't explain any further. This ice bed isn't made of ice, but a crystal that contains a large amount of sword intent. However, you have to be careful to not blindly absorb too much sword intent. If not, your body will not be able to endure it. The consequences will be unimaginable. ”
”In addition, the sword intent absorbed into your body must have been tempered with time in order for it to be of use to you. Therefore, with your current strength and your usage of sword intent, I suggest that you cultivate for half a day, digest it for half a day, and rest it for another night.
Hearing the middle-aged instructor's reminder, Zhou Tong nodded lightly.
What Zhou Tong did not expect was that in the lower realms, there was actually someone who could condense such an illusory object like the 'sword intent' into a bed of ice crystal for others to absorb and cultivate. This technique was something even Zhou Tong, a Swordsman, had never heard of. However, Zhou Tong was very clear that the sword intent that was able to be absorbed by humans was naturally not too strong. Or else, just by getting close, it would be enough to kill all of the disciples that entered the chamber.
Seeing Zhou Tong's thoughtful response, the middle-aged instructor smiled, waved his hand and said: ”Since you understand, then you should start cultivating as soon as possible. It's your first time entering cold air chamber, and the results are obvious.
”Mm. Thank you, Instructor. I will try my best.”
With a bow, Zhou Tong watched as the middle-aged instructor left. In his heart, Zhou Tong had already begun to silently calculate how much sword intent would be used by him.
