On the hillside outside the junction city, on a flat hillside, hundreds of wooden piles of varying heights are erected there, occupying a large area, which looks like a huge plum blossom pile position.

But these pieces of wood are simply standing on the ground, which is not enough to support the plum blossom array on them, and these things are indeed not here to do this. Starfall searched for a long time to find this pure place, and finally moved so many wooden stakes here, in fact, it was used to practice sword intent.

The stakes, though untidy, are about a person's height. Fortunately, there are wood-based spells in this world, and it doesn't take much time or money to find so much wood.

While these wood-based spells are certainly not as good as natural wood, they are suitable for other things, such as burning firewood and being used as targets.

Each stake is placed at the right distance, and the star falls between them without being disturbed. Xingluo is just doing this to practice sword qi, as for the dexterous body technique, it is not the purpose of training now, and Xingluo will not need it for the time being, or for a long time, this can be regarded as a gift to come to this world.

Starfall stood among these wooden stakes, concentrating on the state that fits, and then suddenly opened his eyes and drew his sword, and another temperament suddenly appeared on Starfall's face, containing a sea of eyes like a star cluster, eyelids and cheeks with some water chestnuts, slightly shiny and cold and solemn eyebrows and forehead, and even his hair seemed to have a faint layer of silver frost.

The appearance of Starfall is similar to that night, but it is obviously much less cold and cold, and the feeling of hanging high above.

And at the moment when Xingluo took out the sword, five or six meters of sword light erupted from the tip of the sword, Xingluo's wrist trembled slightly, and the sharp and long sword light easily slashed over a wooden stake in front of him, with a slight breaking sound. The part under the stake did not move, and the top piece fell to the ground with a thud.

"Good. ”

Xingluo was very satisfied in his heart, and he was very satisfied with his control and estimation. But in fact, if you look closely, it is obvious that the length of Starfall's sword is far less than that night's, and even the texture of the sword is far less, but there is no problem in cutting the stake, and this is already the best degree that Starfall can maintain.

Xingluo quickly stabilized his mood, continued to wave his sword to the side, and his body also moved, the sword light of five or six meters became shorter rapidly, but the sharp sword still cut off the small half-circle of wooden stakes, making the place within the arc appear empty.

"Hey......"

Starfall was a little anxious in his heart, and an irritated expression appeared on his face. Starfall is not proud of the sharpness of his sword, and Starfall is not here to measure the sharpness of his sword, on the contrary, Starfall hopes that not a single stake will fall under his sword.

After gradually mastering the state of sword intent and being able to maintain it for a period of time, Starfall thought about it seriously and thought that the most important thing for him now was not to let himself enter a deeper state of sword intent.

When he can maintain his sword intent for a period of time and maintain the sword light to a maximum of five or six meters, Starfall is ready to let himself enter a state of free retraction, and the length of the sword can be retracted and released freely.

Just now, after Starfall drew his sword and cut off the wooden stake five meters away in front of him, Starfall quickly changed his sword, but he didn't want to cut another wooden stake. Starfall was also trying his best to shorten the length of the sword, but apparently it still failed, and this was Starfall's more than 200th attempt.

In the state of sword intent, Starfall can naturally control the length of the sword, but obviously this control ability is far less than Starfall's normal sword-swinging speed, not to mention the movement of Starfall itself. It's okay to get shorter or longer slowly, but it doesn't make much sense in practice.

“......”

Starfall stood there for a moment, then swung his sword and stabbed at the stake about two meters away from him. Now the length of the sword has been reduced to a length of more than a meter, plus the length of the sword body, the length of the sword can be controlled just to touch, or not to touch the stake.

But the sword stabbed into the stake to a depth of about ten centimeters, and Starfall hurriedly withdrew the sword, and the stake that was stabbed shook as if it had been stabbed in the throat, and he struggled a few times and fell to the ground.

"Ah...... What did I do......"

Starfall stuck his iron sword on the ground and hugged his head, feeling a little lost and annoyed.

"If it's a person on the other side, I'm afraid I'm afraid I've already died under my sword, but it's a pity that it's a mistake......"

Now that Starfall had withdrawn from the sword intent state, his demeanor changed back to his original appearance, and he sighed deeply.

Xingluo has been practicing for more than a month, and he thought that it would be easier to reach the state of retracting his half-hung sword intent first, but he didn't expect that it was still far from now.

As for whether to give up the current attempt for the time being and put more energy into gaining a deeper sword intent state, Starfall also thought about it a few times in the month, but still gave up.

First of all, it's really difficult, and when entering the state of sword intent, it seems to be accepting another self, that feeling is indeed very powerful, maybe the artistic conception is like this, but it also makes Xingluo feel a little afraid.

But it's not fear that makes Starfall stop for a while, it's reality. Even if you gain a deeper sword intent state, being unable to control it is also a problem.

In such a real world, I am not playing a simulation game of indiscriminate attacks, in the simulation game, I can wield a sword more than ten meters long and slash wantonly, but in the real world, it is not possible, in addition to the necessary killing, many others are to be avoided, or even to protect.

For example, if someone kidnapped Old Man Luo, can Xingluo wield a sword several meters long and cut it in two? The hostages and gangsters were eliminated together, and Xingluo felt that he couldn't do it with such a hardcore rescue method.

Although there are some preferences for swords, the real use of swords is in this world for a short time. Although it was not a long time, Starfall could feel that using a sword required a high level of finesse.

And when Mi Xu's sword and sword mangs became several meters and more than ten meters long, the requirements for fine grasp were higher. Otherwise, someone will die unexpectedly under Starfall's sword, just like those wooden stakes.

Starfall is not the kind of good person who does not dare to make a move, it seems that fighting or killing is always inevitable in this world, but Starfall does not want most of his sword to be some lost souls.

Starfall stood in the stake for a while, and instead of trying again, he went outside to a makeshift wooden shed, took out a fire fold and lit a fire in it, and then roasted salted fish on the fire to prepare a simple dinner.

Now it can be said that the border city is extremely safe, and Starfall moved out of it a few months ago and came to the mountain to practice, only to go back occasionally to replenish it.

"The only ones left to eat are these salted fish, and the wood outside is gone after cutting two stubbles, so it's time to go back and replenish it." ”

Looking at the salted fish dripping with fish oil on the shelves, and smelling the salty smell in the shed, Starfall wiped his lips that were a little moist.

"So much wood is carried back, it is estimated that it is enough for the old man to burn for a few days. ”

Looking at the snow outside, Xingluo smiled faintly, feeling a little enjoying this kind of time.

Speaking of which, it's been more than a year since Starfall came here, and it was snowy at the time. And now, it is only more than two months before the opening of the gate of Zhongqing Mountain.
