Chapter 8: First Acquaintance with the Soul Sword

In the open field, the crescent moon that had slipped away from the sky hung in the distance, and its light was no longer there, and everywhere it was a mixture of yin and black and bright colors, making it difficult to discern the direction.

However, on the mottled road, there were already traces of people running again, and the exposed weeds were skimmed in the same direction, and a thin back was seen moving slowly on the road.

Xiao He passed through the opening of the pulse the day before yesterday, and constantly urged the four pulses of yin and yang to regulate pranayama during the journey, and no longer knew his physical strength again because of the weight on his back and the long distance, and fainted and collapsed.

The huge bronze door rumbled open the moment the token was pressed, and Xiao He also walked in slowly, and then gently removed the frame behind him, this time he was half an hour earlier than the stipulated time, even he couldn't believe it!

Seeing him like this, Zhao Kaiyang, who was sitting on the stone platform, also opened his eyes slightly, began to look him up and down, and said:

"Boy, how are you feeling now? I don't think I felt as tired as I did yesterday."

"Yes, master, the opening of the four veins of yin and yang has made me a lot easier," he said, and Xiao He began to move his muscles and bones.

"Hmm"

Zhao Kaiyang seemed to have expected it, not surprised at all, and continued:

"Do you know the connection between the soul and the sword, and what is the level of the strong in this world?"

When he asked this, Xiao He paused, tried hard to think about it but couldn't come up with any clues, so he had to shake his head, indicating that he didn't know, and then said:

"For the sword, I only know how to slash, and the soul power I only channel it into the sword, which can achieve a short-range flying attack without controlling the sword. As for the level, I really don't know. The use of the two is also too clumsy, please ask the master for advice. ”

Zhao Kaiyang shook his head after hearing this, expressing helplessness, but he didn't mean to scold too much, just said:

"You're right, it's just a crude way to use it. In our Soul Sword Continent, we mainly use soul power to enter the sword, which can increase the lethality of the sword itself and release it with another kind of energy. And the role of people is mainly to control the sword, that is, the user, the source of power. Only by using it exquisitely, combining the soul power with the sword, and cooperating with the force, can the power of the sword in the hand be maximized and kill the enemy with one move. The so-called level division is determined according to the level of the soul core in the body of the person who uses the sword, from low to high, it can be divided into: swordsman, swordsman, swordsman, sword handsome, sword king, sword honor, sword immortal, sword saint, sword god, and the legendary sword emperor! I heard that a strong man at the level of the sword emperor can destroy the world with a sword, making the sun and the moon dull! And each level is divided into seven weeks, and the difference in soul power between each week is also very great. Where have I traveled on the mainland before, and the highest level I have seen is the sword god, but I don't know the strength of a few weeks, just a sword alone can cut mountains and rivers, and a city can be flattened in an instant!"

"Ah~ I always thought that your old man was the strongest in this world, but I didn't expect that there would be a more powerful character than you? This continent is really incredible, I originally thought that it would be the strongest to reach the same level as you in the future, but there are three levels that are even more powerful than you, hey~" Xiao He looked very surprised.

Zhao Kaiyang flew to Xiao He's side, patted Xiao He's shoulder with his heavy big hand, and continued:

"I have long said that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world, I am only a sword immortal for five weeks now, and there are more people on this continent who are stronger than me. Moreover, our Dongyang City is just a small corner of this Soul Sword Continent, and as a teacher, we can only teach you swordsmanship and cultivation methods, but the main cultivation still depends on your own efforts and dedication, without the pouring of blood and sweat, it is difficult for you to become a real powerhouse in this world. You can try to go to the mainland in the future, and only in this way will you get real experience and growth, and become the strongest. ”

Xiao He also understood slightly, looked up at Zhao Kaiyang's suddenly kind face with a resolute expression, and nodded lightly.

This is also the first time Xiao He has seen him like this, and he also smiled knowingly, and said respectfully:

"Yes, I will always keep in mind the teachings of the master in the future, and practice them in the future, not afraid of difficulties, surpass myself, and become the strongest. ”

"In addition to cultivating soul power and the art of sword resistance, those who practice swords also have to cultivate something called sword spirit, which is equivalent to the soul of the sword. Because it can be integrated into the sword body, increase the attack power of the sword or transform it into defensive power, and at the same time, when the elves cultivate to a certain extent, they can also materialize it and summon it to fight with people, or resist external attacks. Zhao Kaiyang nodded and continued.

After speaking, Zhao Kaiyang stretched out his right hand to Xiaohe, and a delicate blue eagle appeared in his palm, giving people a sense of nothingness and etherealism.

Then he pinched a handprint in his left hand and shouted:

"Melt!"

I saw that the blue eagle flew out and merged with the giant sword that was leaning against the cave wall, and the giant sword suddenly became full of sword energy, and the sword body also changed, as if coated with a layer of light film, emitting fluorescence. As if he had life, he flew over on his own and began to hover around Zhao Kaiyang.

Immediately after, with a casual move, the flying giant sword flew into his hand on its own. With a slight wave, a gust of wind suddenly stirred up in the cave sky, and Xiao He also slid a few meters away in an instant.

Immediately after, his handprint changed, and the blue eagle flew out of the giant sword, growing larger and larger, and let out a roar, the sound of which hit Xiao He's soul directly. With a single mouth, a brilliant blue beam of light shot straight into the sky, breaking a hole in the sky.

Then, Zhao Kaiyang drank in a low voice:

"Back!"

The blue eagle shrank again, flew into itself, and vanished.

Xiao He, who was standing by and watching, became dumbfounded, and he was dumbfounded and didn't dare to speak. I thought to myself, if that blow was shot at myself, it was estimated that people would be pierced in an instant, which was terrible.

Zhao Kaiyang couldn't help but smile when he saw Xiao He's appearance as if he had never seen the world before, and said:

"This is just the general use of the sword spirit, in fact, there are many wonderful uses, and you can also bless yourself to block external attacks, so I won't demonstrate it. Later, when you master it, you can also create new ways to use it yourself to achieve the effect of defeating the enemy and defending. ”

"Master, how should the sword spirit be generated?Do you need to reach a certain level to do it?Is it possible for a half-person like me to practice it?" Xiao He nodded excitedly, and asked with anticipation.

"The sword spirit is based on the soul power of the sword user, and the essence blood is the source, awakening from the primary sword. It doesn't limit any level, as long as the person wielding the sword has soul power. Naturally, the potential ability of a sword spirit is closely related to the bloodline of the sword user and the material of the primary sword, but the sword spirit can also be improved through cultivation in the later stage. There are many so-called cultivation methods, which can be nourished by one's own soul power, but the growth of this method is relatively slow. Or let it suck the beast spirit, and it can be improved by evolution. However, there may be some risks in absorbing the beast spirit, because if you don't get it right, you may let the beast spirit absorb the sword spirit, and then the early cultivation will come to naught, which is a result that no one wants to see. It's just that on this Sword Soul Continent, I have heard that there is an evil organization that specializes in absorbing people's essence to improve soul power and capturing sword spirits to improve their own sword spirits. This is a type of people hated by the whole continent, they often hide in unseen corners, all over the continent, once they target someone, they will do whatever it takes, and the means are extremely cruel and miserable. However, I have traveled to the mainland for more than ten years, but I have never seen it, and if I do, then we may not have a chance. Haha"

Xiao He was also shocked when he heard this, there were too many things he didn't know, he couldn't imagine that there were so many secrets in this Sword Soul Continent, and there was also the sword spirit, and he suddenly felt that he had wasted so many years taking the sword in vain, and then asked:

"Didn't the people on the continent think of a way to fight against that evil organization? After all, it is not easy for the lightssword spirit to cultivate, and it is too inhuman to specifically absorb others. And it also sucks the essence of the sword practitioner, which is simply hateful. ”

At this time, Zhao Kaiyang paced around in front of him, nodded slightly, and then said:

"Well, in the past, the sword sects of the major empires on the mainland had unanimously formed an alliance, although that group of people was indeed quiet for a while, but then they still couldn't prevent it, and they came and went without a trace, and there were still people who died because they were sucked up. In the end, the various empires also passed the buck to each other, leading to division and disintegration. Therefore, if you really want to walk on the mainland, it is really dangerous, and if you have no strength, you can only be at the mercy of others, and even torture and killing is not an exaggeration. Only by becoming strong can you protect yourself and your loved ones. ”

Xiao He also paused, and he was also a little unwilling in his heart, sighed slightly, and thought, could it be that people who don't have strength in this world can only be slaughtered by others?

He didn't want to give up in his heart, because he could vaguely feel the reason that bothered his mother, but he wasn't sure yet.

And he also has the person he loves now, but he hasn't confessed it yet, but one day, he will definitely stand on top of the world and witness with her.

Therefore, he must become stronger and use the sword in his hand to open up his own world!

"Master, teach me to cultivate, I won't let you down, I want to become stronger. One day, I will witness everything with the sword in my hand. Even if it is Yu Qiang, I am not afraid, because I really have a lot of things behind me that I need to protect!"

"In that case, you have to be prepared to endure hardships and stand hard work, cultivating in my world is not something that ordinary people can afford. I don't like to see the weak the most, especially those who cry out about pain and give up. If you let me see you like this, hehe, don't blame me for being rude" Zhao Kaiyang gave Xiao He a look, and said quietly.

"Yes, master. ”

When Xiao He was said this, he was also frightened, goosebumps on his body rose, and he knew that he was still thinking about yesterday's events, and a cold sweat broke out behind his back. Still, he responded respectfully.

When Zhao Kaiyang saw Xiao He like this, he didn't say anything more, nodded slightly, and seemed to be looking forward to the young man in front of him.
