The maple leaves are as red as fire, swaying in the wind, swaying and jumping like bright red flames, it is too beautiful to behold.
The maple leaves around Hongfengping were swaying, and a figure stood in it, holding a sword in front of him with one hand, and the index finger and middle finger of his left hand were close together, and slowly brushed over the red sword.
"The body and the sword are one..." murmured softly like the wind, Chen Zong's eyes contained a clear and deep light, as if reflecting a world, in the world, there was a miniature of the sword in front of him, extremely agile.
Before, Chen Zong didn't know much about the unity of body and sword, and it was very simple, so there were a lot of puzzles, but after returning to the Guanfu, he borrowed relevant classics, and finally had a more intuitive understanding of the unity of body, martial arts and body sword. understanding and mastery.
The first level is one, everything is one, mastering this level, one can fully integrate the strength of one body, the most important thing is the high degree of integration of weapons and martial arts, beyond the limit.
The second level of spiritual martial arts, whether it is weapons or martial arts, seems to be given life, becoming extremely agile, and its power is naturally improved accordingly, making the battle more flexible and changeable.
The third level is Zhaoxuan, which is a very wonderful realm. What Chen Zong saw from the classics is not comprehensive, but only a few words of records, very few, and can only be imagined from bits and pieces of words.
After all, in the entire Yunlong Dynasty, there are very few warriors who can master the unity of body and martial arts, and there are even fewer warriors who can master the second stage of body and martial arts. As for the third stage, whether Someone reached it, is still unknown.
Chen Zong was sure that after realizing the unity of body and sword, he had indeed reached the second stage, which was a state that many real martial arts masters had never reached.
However, Chen Zong also gradually understood his own shortcomings.
That is, the time to comprehend and master the unity of body and sword is too short to fully reveal the mystery contained in it.
This is like a fake spiritual weapon.
Pseudo-spiritual weapons possess impressive power, and practitioners who practice Jinjing can use them to exert their power, but only a small part of the power. Only when they reach the level of real martial arts can they display most of the power of a pseudo-spiritual weapon. Only those in the pseudo-transcendent realm can maximize the power of the pseudo-spiritual weapon.
To unleash the power of a pseudo-spiritual weapon, it depends on cultivation, but to unleash the mysterious power of the realm of unity of sword and sword, it depends on practice and comprehension to master it.
Although there are differences between the two, they also have something in common.
After more than half a month of practice and comprehension, Chen Zong has become more and more comprehensive in his grasp of the mysteries of body and sword integration, first and return to one, but it is difficult to fully grasp it. In other words, such a state is a kind of mystery. There is no so-called limit, as long as you continue to practice and understand, you will continue to deepen.
If the realm is likened to two lines, one is horizontal and the other is vertical.
The vertical line represents the height of the realm, extending from low to high, while the horizontal line represents the width of a realm, and how much mystery is contained in it.
This is Chen Zong's understanding after half a month, and it is also a very correct understanding.
It is often difficult to have both vertical and horizontal orientations, but only when both are available can it be called perfect.
The Red Thunder Sword swung out very slowly, as if it didn't have any power, but the air under the sword was rippling like water waves, spreading out invisible ripples.
It's as if a sword is slashing through the water.
Slow but light, it seems to have no weight, but it contains amazing power.
This is the power of the realm of unity of body and sword.
Withdrawing the sword, Chen Zong swung it out again, neither slow nor fast, under the uniform speed of the sword, the dust in the air seemed to be crushed, and once again swayed a layer of water ripples.
One sword after another, swords and swords look so ordinary, but they are the ultimate in swords and swords.
With the melodious sound of the sword and the howling of the wind, there seemed to be an invisible sword energy passing through the air. On the rockery more than ten meters away, sword marks suddenly appeared. The sword marks were smooth, as if they had been cut by magic soldiers.
Over the past half a month, Chen Zong has repeatedly swung his sword in the Guiyi realm, again and again, at least a thousand times a day, completely immersed in it as if he didn't know how tired or bored he was. The understanding and mastery are getting deeper and deeper.
After practicing the sword, Chen Zong sat down cross-legged and began to practice Huntian Poyuan Strength.
Hun Tian Po Yuan Jin is still at the fifth level, and the sixth level is more difficult to break through than Chen Zong imagined.
The majestic, domineering and sharp Hun Tian Po Yuan Jin is like the water of a long river, running endlessly, passing between Chen Zong's muscles, bones and muscles, undulating like a python. From the outside, it seems that Chen Zong's muscles are swelling and contracting.
In the past half a month, Chen Zong practiced his sword time and time again. After exhausting all his internal energy, he sat down to practice the Huntian Poyuan Energy, and his cultivation base continued to improve. Now, he has reached the peak of the middle stage of the energy training stage, and it is only a short distance away from the later stage. separated.
Blast bang bang!
His whole body trembled, as if something had been broken. After a slight pause, his tyrannical inner strength moved again, and it seemed to be even more tyrannical. Chen Zong knew that he had broken through.
Late stage of Ninth Rank of Practicing Strength!
"Finally broke through." Chen Zong secretly said, revealing a smile.
A breakthrough in cultivation means that the combat power can be further improved, but it is only a small-level breakthrough, and it is estimated that it will not be able to truly achieve its own combat power.
After all, it is more difficult to leapfrog combat power to the later stage, and it is even more difficult to improve the cultivation base at a small level.
Chen Zong reckoned that if his cultivation was raised to the peak of Rank 9 of the Strength Training Realm, then it would not be a problem for him to reach the initial five-star level.
But now his cultivation has reached the late stage of Rank Nine, and the peak of Rank Nine is not far away.
The inner energy was fully recovered, more vigorous and powerful, Chen Zong continued to practice sword.
In the blink of an eye, the one-month period stipulated in the examination task of the national scholars arrived, and someone came to the Guanfu to inform Chen Zong to gather at the Panlong Hall.
After tidying up quickly, Chen Zong took the two swords and left the Guanfu, heading for Panlong Hall.
When entering the Panlong Hall, Zilong King was sitting on the throne, and the other three arrived earlier than Chen Zong.
After waiting for about half an hour, two more people arrived.
"Yu Wenhe, Jiang Tianmu, Zeng Zhanjun, Chen Zong, Su Xiaoshui, Yu Wenbing, I congratulate you six for completing the assessment task within the specified time." Zilong King said, Chen Zong was startled when he heard this.
There are nine assessment tasks in total, but only six people have completed the assessment tasks, which makes Chen Zong's heart tremble.
"Ninety-eight people participated in the assessment this time, and ninety-one came back alive." The Zilong King said again, causing everyone's expressions to change slightly.
Seven died.
This also shows that it is very difficult and life-threatening to become a national scholar, but everyone still flocks to it.
When the Purple Dragon King spoke, his eyes glanced over everyone, and he paused slightly when he looked at Chen Zong's face. These days, he has learned the details of the assessment task of chasing and killing Hua Xie Ma Qianli.
I have to say that everything was so unexpected, and I have to admit that Chen Zong is indeed a genius with amazing potential.
Although Yu Wenran was very unwilling, he didn't hide anything, otherwise, he would lose not only a national soldier, but also his moral character as a warrior.
What's more, there were other examiners, especially the fat man Yang Qifeng whose life was saved by Chen Zong, so it was impossible to hide anything.
Good at swordsmanship, and also good at bow and arrow, he was able to intimidate Ma Qianli with a bow and arrow, making him unable to escape, and finally mastered the unity of body and sword, beheading Hua Xiema Qianli who mastered the unity of body and sword.
In other words, Chen Zong was able to complete the assessment task without any tricks, it was a real strength.
"There are only three national titles, and there are six of you. Therefore, you will have a final duel. The loser will be eliminated, and the winner will be qualified to be a national warrior." After the Zilong King's voice fell, the eyes of the six people were full of brilliance. Intense.
National scholar!
It is a status symbol, a representative of honor.
Although being canonized as a national scholar does not have any real power, he can have extremely high honor and status, and can also enjoy the special treatment of the dynasty. It can be said that this is a title with high gold content, and it is the goal that countless warriors strive for. .
Six people, three places, means that three people will be eliminated, and everyone's eyes will be swept away immediately, and the other five people will be regarded as their opponents.
"Come with me." The Purple Dragon King said, waving his sleeves and walked outside the Panlong Hall, walked through the square in front of the hall, and walked along the corridor of white jade dragon carvings. The flame-like garden, passing through a green bamboo forest swaying in the wind and rustling like sapphire, is an octagonal arena.
There are eight big pillars standing around the arena, each pillar is made of white jade, and there are dragons coiled on it, with their heads up to the sky and their mouths slightly opened, as if they are singing dragons towards the sky.
"This is the Dragon Fighting Terrace." Said the Purple Dragon King.
There were quite a few people standing around the Doulongtai. Judging by their attire, each of them had a good status, and their bodies were filled with tyrannical aura fluctuations.
These people belonged to the royal family. Chen Zong saw the Black Dragon King and also Yu Wenran.
When Yu Wenran saw Chen Zong, he was startled for a moment, and immediately, his eyes burst out with a sharp light, forcing him to shoot, but Chen Zong ignored it.
Here, Chen Zong also saw other people who participated in the assessment but were eliminated, and also saw the teacher returning to the moon.
Shi Huanyue stood with the two of them. One was a middle-aged man wearing a moon-white robe with double dragons embroidered on it. His elegant aura was like that of a Confucian scholar, but he had the vigor to scold Fang Qiu.
The other person was also wearing a moon-white robe, but without the dragon pattern. He was a young man in his twenties, and his eyebrows were somewhat similar to Shi Huanyue. He should be a relative of Shi Huanyue.
Perhaps feeling the gaze, Shi Huanyue looked over and saw that it was Chen Zong, so he smiled, and Chen Zong also responded with a smile. This scene happened to be seen by the middle-aged man and the young man, and their eyes fell on Chen Zong at the same time. On his face, a sharp light flashed in his eyes as if he wanted to see through Chen Zong.
Immediately, a figure appeared, striding forward, and appeared in front of Chen Zong, with a smile on his face and a very enthusiastic look.
"Brother Chen, congratulations on passing the examination." It was the second prince Yu Wenyi who came.
"We still have to fight." Chen Zong smiled slightly.
"It doesn't matter, try your best." Yu Wenyi smiled, he didn't dare to say that Chen Zong could win the title of national scholar, otherwise if Chen Zong was eliminated, wouldn't he be slapping himself in the face.
