The ice-blue torch rising into the sky is like the brightest light in the endless night.

Leo, who was watching this scene, suddenly had an inexplicable thought in his heart.

This burning torch, except for its strength and brightness, seemed to be no different from the monster soul he had been absorbing?

Magic...... Soul......

Before Leo could think deeply about the relationship.

A loud "boom" drew his attention back to the high-walled city gate.

I saw that behind the knights of the big sword armor, the knights of Yor, who were lined up in a neat line, knelt down on one knee one after another, holding the long sword with both hands and inserting it into the ground.

From the bodies of these Joel knights, wisps of gray-white air currents visible to the naked eye gushed out and flowed into the bodies of the great sword armored knights at the front.

In the midst of the loud sound, the ice blue light flame rising from the body of the big sword armored knight seemed to be injected with sufficient fuel, and the peripheral flame light "soared" to the ground, and continued to jump upwards for dozens of meters, reaching a terrifying height of 100 meters.

The blazing ice-blue torch obviously looked like ice, but Leo, who was far away, could still feel the scorching temperature in the air!

"Kill!"

The Great Sword Armored Knight raised the Great Sword in his hand above his head with both hands and let out a loud shout.

In the next moment, almost all of the ice blue light flames that emerged from its body poured into the big sword, forming an ice blue hundred-meter giant sword that looked like a substance!

The greatsword toppled and slashed at the black mud python monster that was slowly climbing down the high wall.

"Boom!"

The fall of the blade alone sent a strong wail in the air.

In the face of the hundred-meter ice blue giant sword, the black mud python monster did not restrain its hands, it opened its huge mouth, and black flames surged out.

The ice blue giant sword and the black flames collided in mid-air, and a terrifying collision suddenly sounded.

"Boom!"

Ice-blue and pitch-black "fireworks" burst into the night sky, accompanied by an invisible shock wave that spread dramatically in all directions.

Even when he was hundreds of meters away, Leo felt his ears be clouded, and his vision was completely taken away by the dazzling light of the explosion.

After a few seconds, the lost sense of hearing gradually returned, and the dazzling light in the field of vision faded little by little.

Until, in his eyes, the scene on the other side of the high wall was reflected.

The hundred-meter ice-blue giant sword that resembled a small mountain slashed heavily at the body of the black mud python monster, merging it into the city wall.

The ice-blue flames, starting from the incision, began to spread all over the black mud python monster.

In the flames, the black mud python monster let out an earth-shattering roar, and under Leo's gaze, the body of this black mud python monster was actually broken into two pieces from the 100-meter ice blue giant sword, one of which fled into the city with its head, and the other fell from the 100-meter-high wall.

Still in mid-air, this half of the body is like an weathered object, flying away with the wind.

At the same time, a white air current, flying out of the weathered body, poured into the body of the Great Sword Armored Knight.

Faintly, the body of the Great Sword Armored Knight seemed to be a little more burly.

This is, soul?!

The monsters of the dream world also become stronger by absorbing the souls of other monsters?!

Leo Tong hole shrinks.

For a long time, although he had also had this speculation in his heart, he had never seen dream monsters killing each other, and he couldn't be sure.

Until now.

Looking at the gate of the high-walled city, the ice blue light on his body slowly disappeared, and the big sword armored knight who half-knelt down and plunged the big sword into the ground again, Leo was shocked and at the same time, a strong urgency also emerged.

This great sword and armored knight is a threshold that he can't avoid if he wants to enter the other parts of Joel City.

The black mud python monster crawling out of the high wall shows that the other urban areas of Yoel City are far less "safe" than the southern urban area.

It can be said that with his current strength, stepping into other parts of the city of Yore can be described as a life of death.

Not to mention the Great Sword Armor Knight, who gathered the strength of dozens of Yoel Knights and was able to cut out a hundred-meter ice blue giant sword, the black mud python monster alone was definitely not something he could contend with.

That huge body symbolized the unparalleled physical power, and without activating the magic power, Leo could not imagine how to deal with such an existence without using thermal weapons.

Looking at the knights of Yoel who got up and left one after another in the distance, Leo was silent for a while.

We're going to need to speed up the killing of these Jör Knights......

The current Great Sword Armor Knight is already so powerful, if you continue to let it kill other monsters to become stronger......

At that moment, Leo felt a familiar feeling of vertigo welling up in his brain.

"Are you going back......

He didn't panic, he stood still, looked deeply at the high wall under the blood moon in the distance, as if he wanted to see through the high wall, and only after three seconds did he turn over and retreat and hide inside the tower.

With the increase in the brightness of the [Soul Fire], he can now resist this stun to a certain extent.

Although it is not long, it is enough to do some preparation before leaving.

Leaning against the wall, looking out the window at the silhouettes of the towers and the dark and red night sky above the sky, Leo slowly closed his eyes.

……

"Tick, tick, tick......"

The beating of the clock woke Leo from his sleep.

Opening his eyes, he turned his head to look in the direction the voice was coming from.

There, there is a retro seated pendulum clock.

In the oscillation of the balance wheel, the second hand moves little by little, giving it a unique mechanical aesthetic.

"Six o'clock sharp......"

Feeling the familiar cool metallic touch between his hands, Leo withdrew his gaze and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Getting up, putting away the light chasing and the compound longbow, he washed, changed, and dressed, and walked out of the room with his sword bag on his back.

It's still early, and the hallway of the hotel looks very deserted.

After having a free breakfast in the restaurant, Leo left the restaurant and took the elevator to the hotel's underground training dojo amid the waiter's shocked gaze at the "rice bucket".

Leo, whose soul fire brightness had increased again, had further increased the amount of food, and he was reluctant to use spiritual extracts, so he could only replace them with a large amount of ordinary food.

This made Leo more and more eager to become a fixed-stage swordsman as soon as possible.

He inquired with Wei Chishan two days ago.

Dingduan swordsmen who join the Donghuang Kendo Alliance have a way to obtain a special food called "Bigu Pill".

Although the name has a strong Donghuang ancient legend, it is essentially a highly condensed and compressed food, which can quickly replenish physical strength and nutrition in the case of eating less.

This was something Leo needed very much.

But it's also fast.

At the end of the national competition that began in five days, he will be able to directly become a fixed-stage swordsman, and at that time, he will be able to join the Donghuang Kendo Alliance.

In his thoughts, with a "Ding Dong", the elevators opened, and Leo stepped out of the elevator and came to the gate of the underground training dojo.

Although it was still early, the underground training dojo was brightly lit.

The lights are as bright as day, illuminating everything here.

"Whew...... Silk ......"

The sound of the sword wind dancing came to his ears, and Leo turned his head to look.

I saw a slender figure standing in the dojo, the sword light dancing, like a flying elf.

Is ginger xiaocha......

Leo glanced at it, didn't bother, but found a corner by himself, took out the standard metal long sword from the sword bag, and began to practice the sword alone.

The swordsmanship he practiced was the Thousand Flame Swordsmanship.

Storm Swordsmanship and Royal Swordsmanship that have reached the mastery level are no longer the reason why this simple training can be refined, and it is even more necessary to carry out relevant artistic conception and spiritual cultivation.

He came to the training dojo more to warm up, and in the practice of moves, he was familiar with his surging physical fitness.

During this trip to the dream world, the brightness of his soul fire increased from 3.14 to 3.85, an increase of 0.71, which brought about an all-round increase in physical fitness that was almost doubled.

From the initial 1.00 to today's 3.85, Leo simply estimated that the improvement in the performance of the simple body, for every 1 increase in the value, the increase is roughly about 150%.

Taking bone strength as an example, the brightness of Soul Fire 2 is 1.5 times that of Soul Fire Brightness 1.

The reason why it is not measured by strength is because the brightness of the soul fire is increased by all-round physical fitness, and the strength is affected by muscles, bones, fascia and other factors, and the actual increase in strength is far more than 1.5 times.

Today's standard metal long sword, in Leo's hands, is as light as a feather, and it is not an exaggeration.

Even [Chasing Light] felt a little lighter in his senses.

No wonder, dream world monsters like the Viscount of Evil Fall and the Great Sword Armored Knight like to use heavy weapons, and they are really physically high, and it is really difficult to use such light weapons.

The next time you enter the dream world, you can try to play with the evil sword of the fallen greatsword......

Li Ao thought silently in his heart, and his hands kept moving, training the Thousand Flames Sword Technique.

Time passed quickly, and during Leo's sword practice, Wang Zheng, Fang Kaiyu, and Ouyang Shuwen also came to this large underground training dojo one after another.

Seeing Li Ao and Jiang Xiaocha, who were immersed in swordsmanship practice, the three of them did not bother with words, but silently found a corner and began to practice.

Eight o'clock sharp.

Leo put down his sword and exhaled softly.

The cultivation of the moves is almost over, and the next step is to temper the actual combat in order to better digest and absorb.

He raised his head, walked to the center of the dojo, and slapped his palms vigorously.

The loud applause immediately attracted the attention of Jiang Xiaocha and the four of them.

At this moment, the four of them had almost completed their morning repairs, and when they heard Leo's applause, they knew that it was the signal to gather, so they stopped their movements one after another and moved towards the center.

After the personnel arrived, Leo glanced at the four people standing in a neat queue and nodded with satisfaction.

Although the four of them were all the chiefs of the Demon Capital Kendo Gym, under his training, the overall appearance began to change, becoming more neat and capable.

Leo was looking at the four, and the four were also looking at Leo.

Although they had always known that Leo was practicing very hard, what had happened in the past two days still frightened them.

After returning from the Sword Test, Leo did not eat, drink, sleep, and continued to practice swordsmanship.

This shocked the four of them and admired them at the same time.

Monster-like body, as well, even more monster-will......

Up to now, Wang Zheng, Fang Kaiyu, and Ouyang Shuwen have long been unconvinced, and they have sincerely recognized Li Ao as the captain.

"Ahem."

Coughing, as the opening remarks of this morning, Leo looked at the four of them, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It seems that your swordsmanship has been tempered by the sword test stone, and it has also made great progress." ”

As a high-level swordsmanship above advanced swordsmanship, the changes brought by the royal swordsmanship after reaching the mastery level are not only the "key" to unlock the magic power, but the spiritual power gain he brings is far beyond Leo's imagination.

The Storm Sword Technique, which is also proficient, is only half of the Royal Family Sword Technique.

Such a powerful increase in psychic power made the world in Leo's "eyes" a little different.

Although I can't fully "see" the vision of the mind, I can already see a model lake, probably.

He had observed the four of them just now, and the mental visions that appeared when they practiced swordsmanship were a little stronger than in the past.

"Although I am far inferior to the boss you, under the pressure of the sword test stone, I do have a little understanding." Wang Zheng smiled.

The other three also nodded.

Although they didn't climb the ten-story ladder and touch the sword test stone with their own hands, they couldn't feel the purest sword intent of the sword saint, but the sword intent coercion that diffused from the sword test stone also benefited them a lot.

"It's good to have progress." Leo nodded and looked at Wang Zheng: "By the way, I heard Coach Wei Chi say that you have inquired about some news in the past two days, do you have any worthy opponents, let's hear about it." ”

Wei Chishan is now the coach who leads the team, so Li Ao and others unified the caliber and called him "coach".

Hearing this, Wang Zheng raised his eyebrows, and his expression suddenly soared.

"When it comes to finding out the news, I'm still very good at it."

"After listening to it in the past two days, I have indeed gained some useful information."

Leo glanced at the tattoo on Wang Zheng's hand, and did not doubt that he was "good at finding out information".

As long as he can't behave indifferently, with Wang Zheng's nature, he is indeed a good hand at finding out the news.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Wang Zheng smiled proudly: "Although there are many contestants in the national competition, there are not many worthy of attention, most of them are just some people who have only mastered the first sword skill and can reach the threshold. ”

Wang Zheng said this, Fang Kaiyu and Jiang Xiaocha were a little speechless.

You guy, have you forgotten that if it weren't for the captain's high-pressure devil training, you would have been what you called a "number-making officer" a few days ago?

"There are not many swordsmen who have mastered the second sword technique or even the third sword technique, although the specific number cannot be determined, but it will definitely not exceed 50 people."

"Most of the swordsmen of this strength are members of the provincial team."

"Approaching the event, the swordsmen who arrived in the imperial capital rarely made a move to expose their strength, but according to the query of some online information, everyone also has a list of "demonic" players in their hearts. ”

"The number one is the captain of the Imperial Capital team, named Changsun Wujian."

"The emperor is a super strong team in the national competition, and the team competition has never fallen out of the top three, most of the time it is the first, and their captain is the champion of the individual competition all year round."

"The same is true of this year's imperial capital team, it is said that the eldest grandson Wujian has fought against three veteran Dingduan swordsmen at the same time, and won the battle, and is known as the 'Little Sword Saint'."

"Of course, he's definitely not as good as the boss you." Wang Zheng said like a dog, and then continued:

"In addition to the Imperial Capital team, there are four more noteworthy."

"They are the Nanyue team, the Xihang team, the Jinling team and the Jiangcheng team."

"The captain of the Nanyue team, named Wang Xuanyi, is also known as 'Sword Man' because he is good at using a big sword and has great strength."

"The captain of the Xihang team is a woman named Chu Mengqing. Wearing a white fox mask all year round, the swordsmanship style is weird and difficult to find, and it is known as the 'phantom white fox'. ”

"The captain of the Jinling team, named Tang Lianyun, became famous in the hands of professional swordsmen who were undefeated for a minute, and the long sword in one hand was like flowing clouds and fine water, and was named 'Flowing Water Sword' by people who did good things."

"As for the Jiangcheng team, it's more mysterious. The captain is said to be a very young boy with no exposed records. ”

"Plus the Shendu team, these five teams are the super strong teams in the national competitions over the years."

"In addition to these five super strong teams, there are more than a dozen other first-line strong teams, which are not easy to underestimate."

After saying it in one breath, Wang Zheng took a breath and looked at a few people triumphantly.

This information, but he "worked hard" to get it, and a lot of things that could not be found on the Internet were heard by him from other swordsmen, and for this reason, he also drank a lot of people in the bar.

"Little Sword Saint Elder Sun Wujian, Sword Barbarian King Xuanyi, Phantom White Fox Chu Mengqing, Flowing Water Sword Tang Lianyun, and the mysterious captain of the Jiangcheng team......"

Leo read the names and names of these people in his mouth, and a smile of interest appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I hope you won't disappoint me......"
