Volume 2: Blue Lotus Chapter 93: Talent Test

In front of the sword pillar, all the disciples waited quietly to prepare for the upcoming kendo talent test. The same is true of Ye Xiao, who has been longing for the Qinglian Sword Mansion for a long time, recalling the basic sword style several times in his mind, and remembering it firmly, and he has not slackened in his hands, using his fingers as a sword, drawing back and forth, in order to achieve the purpose of being more proficient in using it.

"This little brother is still cramming for a while?" Just as Ye Xiao was indulging in practice, a rather embarrassing voice interrupted his train of thought out of place.

Ye Xiao slowly opened his eyes and saw who was disturbing him. However, when he saw that the man standing next to him was a man who was neatly dressed and slightly rich, and seemed to be close to his age, he was very curious: he did not seem to know him.

However, the man who was standing at the age of standing didn't care as much as Ye Xiao, and still said to himself in front of Ye Xiao: "The Qinglian Sword Mansion Kendo Talent Test is nothing more than a disguise, and it is all a trick to deceive people. What this sword and stone is, only these people know best in their hearts. ”

The man shook his head and criticized, his words full of disdain. Immediately, he turned to look at Ye Xiao and asked mysteriously, "Little brother, do you know how this Sword Mingshi 'judges' kendo talent?"

Although he didn't want to be bothered too much by him at this time, the question the man asked was indeed something that Ye Xiao didn't understand, so he didn't care too much about it and shook his head to deny it.

Seeing Ye Xiao shaking his head, the man sighed and shook his head from side to side, looking quite regretful: "Every year there are young and ignorant people like you." ”

However, it is the same thing to sigh and sigh, and the man finally answered Ye Xiao's questions: "Its judgment is based on the strength of the humming sound given by the sword sound when you swing the sword and bombard, which is too casual." ”

Hearing this criterion, Ye Xiao was also a little surprised. He had expected that the mentor in charge of selecting would conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the sword cultivation disciples' sword movements, sword standards, and sword strength, but who knew that the basis for judgment was so simple? It was really incomprehensible.

"There are five levels of humming of the Sword Singing Stone. If you can induce the second level, you will be considered to have passed. Alas, it's a shame to remember that when I came two years ago, I only brought in the first rank. The man said and regretted what he thought was unfair, but then his attitude changed one hundred and eighty degrees, revealing a confident expression: "However, after two years of exploration and research, I have finally figured out the law of the strength and weakness of the sound of the sword stone, presumably this time I will be able to make the sword stone vibrate and make a second-level or even third-level humming sound." ”

After the man finished speaking, he laughed quite proudly, extremely confident in his kendo talent test today, and turned around and left after throwing a contemptuous smile and a disdainful look at Ye Xiao. Obviously, his purpose was undoubtedly to show off his abilities and gain a sense of superiority by mocking others. However, the man's actions did not bring any pressure to Ye Xiao at all, and after understanding the content of the test, Ye Xiao frowned slightly and thought about it carefully.

"Hmph, at the age of thirty, he hasn't been able to make any achievements in the way of the sword, and I really don't know what he has to show off?" and the man left, Ning Er said indignantly in Ye Xiao's mind, sneering at the man's words and deeds.

Ye Xiao didn't care about this, but muttered to himself: "How much profound kendo skills will it take to attract the second of the five levels?"

Ye Xiao, who suddenly realized that Ning Er seemed to be talking to him, suddenly reacted, and immediately raised his head in a panic, and happened to see Ning Er's pretty face that was slightly gloomy because he ignored it. Ye Xiao also knew that he had "made a big mistake", so he hurriedly admitted his mistake in a low voice and flattered him with good words, which made Ning Er, who pouted her mouth, dissipate her anger: "Okay, this seat is magnanimous, I will spare you once, and I will not take it as an example." ”

Ye Xiao, who heard Ning Er's words, dared to argue, and subconsciously nodded frantically.

"Actually, I think that this talent test is just a pediatric for you, and you don't have to be nervous and distressed. Ning'er brushed her nails and said casually.

Although Ye Xiao, who received Ning Er's kind comments, was a little excited, he didn't know why Ning Er had such confidence in himself after all.

Seeing Ye Xiao's doubts, Ning Er surprisingly didn't sell Guan Zi and patiently explained: "Each level naturally represents a corresponding talent level. The disciples who joined the Qinglian Sword Mansion basically cultivated in the Xuanling Realm, so the Xuanling Realm naturally became the lowest level of the evaluation criteria, which was the so-called first-level loudness.

"By analogy, a disciple with a Yuan Spirit level kendo talent can draw out the second level of loudness, the earth spirit talent is the third level, the heavenly spirit talent is the fourth level, and the fifth level at the top of the end symbolizes the spirit talent that you have never climbed in the past generations of martial artists in the Canglan Domain!"

Ning Er's words and words shocked Ye Xiao: it turned out that these five levels actually meant this. However, Ning Er just said a moment ago that he didn't have to take it seriously, did it mean that his sword talent was the lowest and reached the Yuan Spirit Realm?

The bold idea had just been born, and it was immediately confirmed by Ning Er's words: "Of course, just a little Yuan Ling talent is a piece of cake for you. Even if it's an earth spirit talent, it can also be easily achieved. Even the celestial spirit talent can be captured. ”

Ning Er's words made Ye Xiao tremble, and he couldn't even speak: "Ning ...... Ning'er, this is true...... Yes?"

Although he knew that the Heavenly Qin Dynasty had a large number of talents, but those who possessed the talent of the Heavenly Spirit level swordsmanship, Ye Xiao had only seen two of them with his own eyes since he was a child: Zhong Wufeng, the master of the Canglan Domain, who made the bladeless heavy sword, and Qian Changkun, the elder of the sword, but other than that, there was no one else. It can be said that the two who have been able to climb to such heights in the way of the sword can be said to have spent most of their lives to have such an achievement, but at this moment, Ning Er told himself that he definitely has a talent equal to it, how can Ye Xiao calm down?

"You're not small, but you actually doubt the words of this seat?" Ning Er was by no means casually talking nonsense to give him confidence, but gave a basis based on reason: "Do you remember the sword heart mentioned by this seat when you were in the Wolong Mountains before?"

Talking about the word "sword heart", Ye Xiaomao suddenly opened his mouth and suddenly realized, and every word of Ning Er came to his mind from his memory at that time. Although he didn't know what kind of powerful power Jian Xin had, he also figured out a rough idea from Ning Er's words.

After knowing the reason for Jian Xin, Ye Xiao finally understood why Ning Er had such confidence in himself. However, the shock brought by the Heavenly Spirit Sword Dao talent still made Ye Xiao a little distracted and difficult to completely calm down.

"Even so, this seat requires you not to exert all your strength. However, just as Ye Xiao was completely immersed, Ning Er said a strange word that made the second monk puzzled, which immediately made him full of doubts.

"As the saying goes, if the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it. You should understand the reason for the big wind. ”

Hearing Ning Er's explanation, Ye Xiao nodded in an epiphany to show that he had woken up. Ning Er's words and sword heart are the strongest and most powerful proof of his kendo talent, but if he is too public, who knows how unnecessary trouble he will cause? Besides, he is in the Qinglian Sword Mansion for no reason, if he is really remembered by the villains, what strength does he have to bring him down? Therefore, Ning Er's words are full of reason.

Ye Xiao nodded solemnly, hinting that he would take her words to heart. And the words have already been said, Ning'er also did not keep too much.

Ye Xiao slowly opened his eyes, and his thoughts returned to the talent test. However, it was the kung fu that he and Ning Er discussed in the soul world, and many disciples had completed the kendo talent test, and the results were also varied. Although there were quite a few people who only triggered the vibration level of the first rank, it was clear that there were also many disciples who had successfully passed the test and successfully became disciples of the outer kendo. And unexpectedly, the vast majority of people happened to be the second level, and few geniuses could achieve the hum of the third level, and the moment this level appeared, the disciple was immediately picked up by the mentor who was already eyeing him from the side, trying to take him under the door. As for the fourth level, none of them appeared.

The moment Ye Xiao opened his eyes, he saw that the standing man who had spread sarcasm earlier was walking towards the Sword Ringing Stone. As arrogant as before, the man still had a relaxed smile on his face, and he didn't feel any nervousness or discomfort from the upcoming test.

With the long sword in hand, the man showed a smile: "This time, I will definitely be able to trigger the second level, and there is a good chance that I can reach the third level!"

As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked. The man's voice was not small, and it was instantly sent into the ears of everyone present, and nothing was missed. The man's unbridled behavior immediately attracted the contempt and ridicule of many people around him:

"It's you, go home and wash and sleep. ”

"If you can really attract the third level, uncle, I can directly worship you as a teacher. ”

Many disciples scoffed at this, not believing that the man really possessed such abilities.

But action is the best proof of this, and the man responded with a smile and did not say a word to refute it. The long sword in his hand was raised, brewing momentum, and a sword slashed out towards the sword pillar in front of him.

The attack slashed on top of the stone pillar, and dust suddenly rose around it. Seeing this, the man was quite proud and decided that he had the chance to win. However, unexpectedly, the sword pillar did not move! After a long time, a very slight vibration sound gradually came back.

"Hahaha, this is your invincible kendo talent? The disciple who had laughed earlier gloated and couldn't help but laugh and laugh.

"Impossible!" Seeing this, the man roared loudly: "I have scattered all my family property to exchange for a sword and sound stone, and I have been studying its characteristics for two years, and I have clearly understood its laws, how can it be just like this?"

The man's voice was hoarse, and he would never believe that what he was seeing was the truth. For today's kendo talent test, who can guess how he spent the past two years? But who knew that after all the deliberations, the result was not even as good as two years ago?!

"Be cautious and take shortcuts, be too frivolous, and it will be difficult to make a big deal. An elderly instructor sitting on the stage stroked his beard and sighed.

"No, no, no, I can, ask the mentor to give me another chance. The man shouted, and without saying anything, he raised his sword in violation of the law and went to cut the sword pillar again. However, before his hand could be raised, a huge force of Mount Tai burst forth, pressing directly on his shoulder, making him collapse to the ground in the cold, and it was difficult to struggle to get up.

"Presumptuous, how can you allow you to wantonly destroy the rules set by my previous lords?! In this case, you don't have to stay in this sword path holy land any longer. From now on, your discipleship will be deprived forever. The elderly mentor spoke again, and he directly stripped the man of the identity that he had worked so hard to earn.

Although it is a pity, everything is self-inflicted, and no one can save him. After the man's distant debilitating roar died down completely, the episode was over.
