The Four Great Palaces are not considered to have a long history. They were all created after the Kingdom Era passed and the Zhenwu Era came.
It's just that the people who founded the Four Great Palaces are all true martial arts experts who have come from the dark decade, and there is more than one person.
There are a total of seven founders of the True Sword Academy, and each one of them is a well-known true martial arts expert, or a swordsman. Of course, they have all passed away now.
Only since then, the True Sword Academy has left behind a tradition, or rules, with seven as the standard.
In Jianfeng Hall, all the new disciples are here, except for the preparatory disciples. In a sense, the preparatory disciples cannot be regarded as disciples of the True Sword Academy. Formal disciple.
There are portraits hanging on the three walls of Jianfeng Hall. There is only one portrait on the middle wall, and three on the left and right walls. They are portraits of the seven founders of the True Sword Academy. I don’t know which master made them. Come to life like life.
Any group of new official disciples must pay homage to the portrait of the founder of the palace. This is the rule, and three prostrations are performed to show respect. Chen Zong performed three prostrations without any distractions. None of these seven people Knowing each other, but it does not hinder my respect for them in my heart. This is the respect for the ancestors, and it is also the respect for the powerful swordsman.
From this, Chen Zong also knew the names of the seven patriarchs who opened the palace.
"At the beginning of the establishment of the Four University Palaces, it was only to cultivate the most elite warriors, to better inherit martial arts, and to resist monsters."
The eyes of an elder of the True Sword Academy were as sharp as a sword out of its sheath, and it swept across so quickly that people couldn't look directly at it.
This is a swordsman.
A swordsman who practices sword can only be called a swordsman if he reaches the real martial arts level, and a swordsman who practices swords is a swordsman. This is a relatively unique title.
And when one's cultivation reaches the seventh level of the True Martial Realm, one is called a Daoist.
When one's cultivation reaches the ninth level of the True Martial Realm, one is called a master.
The seven strong men who founded the True Sword Academy are a master and six real people.
When the elders of the True Martial Realm spoke, every word and every sentence was full of encouragement, which was inspiring and high-spirited, but not overheated. For sword practitioners, a lack of calm mind is a fatal injury.
"One month later, the newly promoted official disciples will hold a new star competition to determine the seven new stars. If you can break through to the strength training state within a month, you are also eligible to participate."
The latter words were addressed to Chen Zong and other formal disciples who were still at the Qi and Blood Realm.
"Rising Star Competition!"
"Seven new stars!"
All of them suddenly showed bright eyes.
Fighting is human nature, or the nature of life.
There is struggle to progress.
Fame and fortune are also the pursuit of intelligent life.
Who would not want to gain fame and fortune.
What's more, the seven new stars of the Rising Star Competition are definitely not as simple as a title, and there will definitely be rewards.
After paying homage to the founder of the palace and listening to the elders' lectures, the new disciples returned one after another.
Formal disciples have the treatment of formal disciples. First of all, it is a gift sword. It has not been sharpened, but its hardness and toughness are amazing, almost comparable to precious iron-level swords.
In addition to the ritual sword, there is a sword robe, all off-white, with a uniform style, and the whole person has a different temperament when worn, and one can feel the sharpness of a sword at a glance.
Outside the sword robe is the body sword token that symbolizes status.
The fourth item is a low-grade Lianjin Pill, which is a pill suitable for practitioners in the Jinjing Realm, and it is a deadly poison for the Qi and Blood Realm.
The real treatment for official disciples is that they can receive a low-grade Lianjin pill for free every month. If the market price is used, a Lianjin pill will cost 50,000 white jade to buy. If it is, it must be exchanged with Sword Honor.
The fifth treatment is the ability to enter the Jianwu Building and choose a low-level earth-level kung fu method and a low-level earth-level martial arts practice.
The True Sword Academy is located on the north of Baishou Mountain, and to the west is a bamboo forest. It is not an ordinary bamboo, but a green sword bamboo. The whole body is blue and the leaves are like long swords. Hence the name. The Bailong River, a tributary of the Tibetan Dragon River, is one of the top ten among the hundreds of tributaries of the Tibetan Dragon River. To the south, there is a vast wilderness.
The True Sword Academy occupies a very large area, which is no worse than Fengwu City. As far as Chen Zong knows, the number of preparatory disciples is only less than two hundred, and the number of official disciples is more. All together, there are only more than four hundred, and as for the disciples of the town palace, there are less than two hundred.
In such a large area, the total number of people is less than one thousand, which makes it look very empty.
Every official disciple can live independently in a two-storey small building. There is a wall outside the small building, which has a large area and is completely a small private space.
In the courtyard, Chen Zong was wearing an off-white sword robe, holding a ritual sword, and staring at a small piece of green sword bamboo that had just grown in the corner of the small courtyard with sharp eyes.
Suddenly, the sword was unsheathed, and the light of the sword was like a gust of wind, and also like a bolt of lightning, piercing the air, and the strong wind of the sword blew, and the sound of whistling was endless.
Arriving at the True Sword Academy, giving lectures at Jianfeng Hall, etc., made Chen Zong feel a lot of changes.
Everyone has an adaptability to the environment, especially when going from one place to another, which is still a completely unfamiliar place, some people may only need several days or even more than ten days to adapt to it, but some people are faster, one or two days can fully adapt.
The True Sword Academy is a good place. Here, Chen Zong can see many things related to swords.
For example, on both sides of the road in the academy, there are many swords polished by stones, and there are also many sword patterns on some buildings, which are simple and direct, revealing a trace of sharpness.
All in all, the real sword academy is full of the breath of swords, and Chen Zong feels very comfortable.
Swinging the sword at will, after a while, his whole body gradually became hot. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Chen Zong felt that he could use his sword skills more smoothly here.
"One month is the Rising Star Competition, and I must participate."
Chen Zong was talking to himself.
Confronting peers is another purpose of entering the True Sword Academy. The New Star Competition is undoubtedly very suitable, especially here, not only are there sword practitioners from the main city of Jiwu, but also sword practitioners from the other four main cities. .
Maybe my swordsmanship is good, but who can be sure that there is no one better than me
He is better than himself and his swordsmanship is better than himself. Chen Zong is not afraid. Only in this way will he be more motivated. He will continue to challenge and become stronger and stronger.
The sword itself is a representative of sharpness, fearless.
If you are afraid, it is not a sword, but a stick of fire.
"To participate in the Rising Star Competition, you must first integrate your spirit and will, and then extract your inner strength from the strength of your energy, blood and physique to officially become a martial artist."
"Although I can feel that the spiritual will is being strengthened every moment and tends to be perfect, but it is still a little bit reluctant to achieve perfection within a month. After reaching perfection, it will take some time to be able to Refine your inner strength."
Doing the math, it will take more than a month, but Chen Zong doesn't want to miss the Rising Star Competition, because there is only one Rising Star Competition.
Whether it's fighting against other sword practitioners, or going for the title of the seven new stars, Chen Zong wants to participate in this new star competition.
"Is there any better way to speed up the tempering of the spiritual will so that it can reach perfection faster?"
Chen Zong couldn't help thinking about it, and then recalled the feeling he had when he fought against the peak warrior of the Bai family on Fulong Mountain. Under the strong pressure brought by the opponent, his mental will was extremely concentrated and he won. In the past, under such circumstances, the potential seemed to be continuously stimulated, and the spiritual will seemed to be more condensed and more harmonious.
"To challenge other True Sword Academy disciples?"
This may be a feasible method, but other consequences must be considered. Chen Zong is not the kind of person who is impulsive whenever he has an idea.
"Or go find a third-level monster to fight against?"
No matter which one it is, there are dangers. If you challenge the disciples of the True Sword Academy, you will probably anger the other party. If you do not die, you will be seriously injured. If you find a third-level monster, it will be a life-and-death battle.
Suddenly, Chen Zong thought of the introduction booklet of the True Sword Academy that had been distributed before, and it seemed to mention a place where one could temper one's spiritual will.
Refining the sword diagram!
What exactly it is, Chen Zong still doesn't know.
"Go and have a look first, if it doesn't work, then find a brother to challenge." Chen Zong took a deep breath, took the gift sword and left the residence.
In the True Sword Academy, disciples can challenge and learn at will, but they can only use the Ritual Sword. The Ritual Sword does not have a sharp edge, the blade is relatively round, and the tip of the sword is also relatively round. injury.
The place where the Sword Art of Refining Intent is located is called the Hall of Intent Refining, and there are seven rooms in total.
"Brother, may I ask how can I watch the diagram of refining the sword?"
The person who manages the Lianyi Hall is a student of the True Sword Academy. This is considered a benefit for the disciples of the True Sword Academy.
"Are you a new official disciple?" The other party didn't answer directly, but asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Chen Zong." Chen Zong nodded.
"My surname is He, and my name is He Tielin. Junior Brother Chen can just call me Senior Brother He." This disciple has a good attitude: "There are seven rooms in the Lianyi Hall, and each room has a sword diagram of Lianyi, which was created by the founders of the palace that day. Liu, to watch the Sword Art of Refining Intent, one needs one hundred thousand white jade coins."
"One hundred thousand!" Chen Zong was surprised when he heard the words. At first he thought that he had more than four million white jade coins on him, which was a huge sum of money, but now it seems that it is nothing: "Senior Brother He, watch the picture of refining the sword Is there a time limit?"
"No, but generally it doesn't last long. It takes about a quarter of an hour for a normal practice." He Tielin said: "There is still one room that is empty now, do you want to go in?"
"Yes." Chen Zong took out a purple money ticket and handed it to the other party without hesitation.
"The seventh refinement room is empty, but you have to remember that once you feel that you can't hold on, you have to look away from the sword diagram of refinement, otherwise the spirit and will may be damaged, and the gain is not worth the loss." He Tielin advised.
"Thank you, Senior Brother He." Chen Zong was a little surprised. It was the first time we met, Senior Brother He treated him very well. Could it be that there are other reasons for his behavior
But no matter what, no one likes to be left out.
