Chapter 147: Fighting and Learning and the Leader (Long Chapter, Please Subscribe)

"What this guy has condensed is the Destruction Sword Intent. The attack power is not inferior to my Thunder-Breaking Sword Intent. You have to be careful."

Back in the rest area, He Zijian looked quite unwilling and reminded Zhou Ling.

"Well, I feel that if it is an actual battle, he may not be able to defeat you!"

Zhou Ling spoke frankly about his feelings, which was also based on [intermediate analysis] judgment.

Hearing this, He Zijian smiled and said, "You don't have to comfort me. The road is boundless. If you lose, you will lose. It's not like I can't accept this kind of thing."

"It's important to know where you lose!"

Zhou Ling nodded, He Zijian's attitude was quite good!

"However, you have to say this to me properly and don't let this kid get the top spot!"

Sitting on the futon, He Zijian said to Zhou Ling again.

His expression was calm, and he was not saying anything angry. It was obvious that in his heart, he really believed that Zhou Ling could defeat He Zijian.

Then he added, "As long as you defeat him, I'll treat you to dinner and listen to music!"

When Zhou Ling heard this, he scratched his head and felt strange. He couldn't help but asked with a smile, "Brother He, you can't beat him, how can I defeat him?"

"Although he is a first-level sword cultivator and has understood the Burning Sword Intent and the Sword Body, he will consume at least 80% of his energy in a battle with me this morning."

“It’s good to be able to recover to 80% of our combat strength in the afternoon!”

He Zijian's words made Zhou Ling raise his eyebrows. If this was the case, it would be a huge benefit to him.

"Also, the opponent's Burning Sword Intent has powerful burning attributes, so it's best if you don't confront him head-on."

"I think we can use the Hundred Sword Formation to consume him first, and then take the opportunity to find an opportunity to get close."

"With your physical training, once you get close, he will definitely not be your opponent!"

He Zijian arranged tactics with Zhou Ling again.

After all, he had just fought with his opponent and knew him best.

Zhou Ling glanced at Jin Sheng, who had returned to the rest area, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a smile, "Brother He, don't worry, I will definitely find a place for you!"

Now that he has entered the seventh level of Qi training, he doesn't have much confidence in dealing with Jin Sheng, who is at the peak of his combat power, but if he only has 80% combat power.

That still has a good chance of winning.

He still has this bit of confidence.

And now the Five Elements Sword Vein has been opened in the body.

By integrating the beast flames into the sword energy of the sword energy furnace, the power of the sword energy will be greatly increased, and it can be stimulated with the help of the sword energy.

It is also difficult for others to easily detect the existence of beast inflammation.

"Um!"

He Zijian nodded, then sat cross-legged and continued to restore the magic power in his body.

Zhou Ling was also waiting patiently for the afternoon competition.

"Brother Ling, aren't you able to control more magic swords?"

"I have eight magic swords in my hand now, but I can lend them to you first!"

At this time, Wang Xin came over, took out his eight-level first-grade magic sword from the storage bag, and handed it to Zhou Ling.

"Thanks, Xin'er!"

Zhou Ling was not polite either. His original divine consciousness was enough to control the eight magic swords.

Now that he has entered the seventh level of Qi training, his soul has also been significantly improved.

Plus the [Sword Controlling] talent.

It is enough to control thirteen magic swords at the same time.

If Zhou Ling had not comprehended the Sword Qi Furnace and the Thunder-Breaking Sword Intent, no matter how much sword light he gathered, he would be able to attack.

Against Jin Sheng's sword intent, the threat is limited!

But the power of a sword array blessed by sword energy is naturally different.

"Zhou Ling will compete in the finals this afternoon, so you have to do your best."

"As long as you defeat Jin Sheng, then the quota for the foundation seed of Lingxia Immortal City Taoist Academy this year will be yours!"

"It is extremely difficult to obtain this quota. For others to obtain it, in addition to ranking first in each fairy city's assessment, they must also have the recommendation of a teacher to be ranked."

"With this quota, after you enter the Taoist Academy, you will receive much more resources than the freshmen of the same class."

Zhou Ling was putting away his magic sword when a voice came to his ears.

After listening carefully, it seemed to be Professor Hu's voice, but when he looked up at the judges' bench, he found that the judges' bench was empty.

The judges haven't returned yet.

Although I don’t know what exactly this foundation-building seed is.

But when it comes to foundation building, it is undoubtedly the next most important thing for him.

For monks, before the age of sixty, all aspects of blood, energy and essence are on the rise.

Therefore, it is most advantageous to successfully build the foundation before then.

But once the foundation building fails, all aspects of blood, energy and essence will be greatly consumed, and the next foundation building will be more difficult.

If you fail twice, your chances will become slimmer in the future.

Therefore, if the foundation is good and you are well prepared, the sooner you build the foundation, the better.

Of course, with his current age and cultivation level, he doesn't need to worry too much about foundation building.

And now that there is the [Marrow Cleansing and Root Refining] talent, if the spiritual root can be upgraded to a mid-grade spiritual root, the quality and success rate of foundation building will be improved.

But of course he would fight for this spot no matter what.

After entering the Taoist temple in this way, it can also greatly reduce the burden on the family.

Although Hu Jiaoxi was not found, he still bowed in the direction of Chuanyin to express his gratitude.

······．

In the afternoon, at Shen Shi, the melodious and ancient bells rang in the square.

"This year's Lingxia Immortal City Taoist Academy's magic competition test final disciples, Jin Sheng and Zhou Ling, come to the competition platform."

As the judges' voices fell.

Zhou Ling slowly walked onto the competition stage.

At the same time, there was a sound of footsteps, and Jin Sheng, with a stern face, also walked onto the competition stage.

His aura had recovered by more than half, and it became sharp and rich, like a sharp sword, which made people dare not look directly at him.

"This is going to work!"

Seeing Jin Sheng's figure, Zhou Ling was delighted, knowing that he had a great chance of winning this competition.

With the emergence of [Intermediate Observation] and [Intermediate Analysis], he could roughly feel that Jin Sheng's strength at this time was not as much as He Zijian said.

It can be seen that the battle in the morning consumed a lot of energy, and it was obvious that he did not win easily.

And he successfully broke through the late stage of Qi training with the help of Zhengyuan Pill.

This rise and fall has already tilted the balance of victory to his side.

"Seventh level of Qi training!"

Looking at Zhou Ling, Jin Sheng's eyes flashed, but he didn't take it too seriously.

In his opinion, even if he recovered 80% of his spiritual power, it would be more than enough to deal with Zhou Ling.

If it weren't for Wang Xin, he didn't know there was an opponent like Zhou Ling.

As for Zhou Ling, he made it to the finals with the sixth level of Qi training.

He also defeated Kong Jili and Nan Feng, two ninth-level Qi training disciples.

He didn't care much. If it was him, the two would lose faster.

In Lingxia Fairy City, the only person he could regard as an opponent was He Zijian.

"What is your relationship with Wang Xin?"

After thinking about it, Jin Sheng asked curiously.

"Wang Xin!"

Hearing this, Zhou Ling was confused.

Now it's the final moment, why is this kid asking this?

"The time has come, the competition for the top spot has officially begun!"

At this time, the voice of Gu Jiaoshi sounded.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

As the judges' voice fell, Zhou Ling slapped his storage bag, and there was a sudden wave in front of him. Ten magic swords formed a sword dragon to circle in front of him.

"Go to the Hundred Swords Formation!"

With Zhou Ling's fierce shout,

Ten magic swords swung together, as if they were well-trained, and drew dozens of sword beams, interweaving into a sharp sword formation, and swept straight down towards Jin Sheng.

These sword auras bloomed with dazzling five-color sword beams, and the sharpness was extremely condensed.

After the Hundred Swords Formation condensed sixty sword beams, forming a sword net and slashing out, Zhou Ling's face turned slightly pale.

Nearly 30% of the mana in his body was consumed.

Controlling ten magic swords at a time and stimulating the sword intent at the same time, this is almost the strongest sword formation he can currently perform.

His tactics are also simple, similar to what He Zijian said, first stimulating the sword formation, attacking with all his strength, and accelerating Jin Sheng's consumption.

Then find an opportunity to fight in close combat, as long as he can get within a range of ten feet, the power of the Great Yang Fist is enough to break his sword beams.

Of course, it would be best if the Hundred Swords Formation can defeat the opponent.

"You actually also comprehended the sword intent."

Looking at the five-color sword net whistling down from the air, Jin Sheng, who originally looked relaxed, suddenly condensed his eyes.

Although the sword intent contained in these sword qi is extremely weak, the sword formation still makes him feel threatened.

Zhou Ling can condense into a sword formation like this, which means that the sword art he cultivates is of high quality and has entered the first realm of swordsmanship.

"What? This little guy is actually a first-level swordsman? How is this possible?"

Looking at Zhou Ling's sword formation, Wang, who is usually not talkative, exclaimed.

There are countless swordsmen in the Dao League, but less than one in a hundred can enter the first realm of swordsmanship and comprehend the sword intent.

Only disciples like He Zijian and Jin Sheng, who have amazing talents and deep family heritage, can comprehend the sword intent at this age.

Needless to say, Jin Sheng is naturally blessed with a sword body, and comprehending the sword intent is a natural thing.

He Zijian is from a famous family, and with good talent, it is reasonable for him to comprehend the sword intent.

But Zhou Ling, this little guy, a casual cultivator, speaks out, how can he comprehend the sword intent? This makes them have to be shocked.

"A first-class upper-grade inscription master, a first-class late-stage body refinement, and a strong spiritual consciousness, and now a first-level sword cultivator, this little guy is too terrifying!"

Instructor Gu, who was originally unmoved, now slightly widened his eyes and looked surprised.

"I don't know how this little guy did it?"

Instructor Hu said with praise.

Although Jin Sheng is the pride of Lingxia Fairy City, he has a sword body and extraordinary talent.

But he is only gifted in swordsmanship.

And Zhou Ling, this kid, dared to develop in all aspects with only a low-grade spiritual root.

And each level is not low.

This talent is so amazing!

You know, just to become a first-class inscription master, you need to practice hard for a long time.

And to comprehend the sword meaning, in addition to hard practice, you also need a good swordsmanship talent.

"Daoyou Hu, Zhou Ling is a talented kid. He is really good and can develop comprehensively in the future. It would be a waste for him to enter Xuanyuan Daoyuan like this!"

Instructor Gu's words clearly showed that he was quite interested in Zhou Ling.

"Daoyou Gu is wrong. It would be a waste for him not to enter Xuanyuan Daoyuan with such talent!"

Instructor Hu touched his chin and shook his head.

Instructor Gu looked around but didn't say much.

Instructors Xiao and Wang also had their own calculations.

With the talent Zhou Ling showed now, it is definitely worth their special recruitment.

Although Zhou Ling has been specially recruited by Xuanyuan Daoyuan, the final decision on which Daoyuan to go to depends on Zhou Ling's own opinion.

"Today, I will show you what the real sword intention is!"

Jin Sheng snorted coldly and chanted the spell.

Then he injected his spiritual power into the flaming sword and shot out.

The flames on the sword body shone fiercely, and in a blink of an eye, it condensed into a ten-foot-long flaming dragon sword light, which slashed out.

[You are observing the Honglu Sword Art, intermediate observation +1, sword energy furnace sword intent +1]

[You are analyzing the Honglu Sword Art, intermediate analysis +1, sword energy furnace sword intent +1]

Zhou Ling's eyes condensed slightly. With the two talents observing and analyzing at such a close distance, he could feel some weaknesses in the opponent's sword light attack.

And it was obviously very helpful for his understanding of sword intent.

His mind moved with it, and the sword net was like a vortex sword light, sweeping towards the flying flaming sword light.

Bang bang bang!

The two sword lights, with different momentums but equally sharp, suddenly collided in the air.

There was a roaring sound.

As the flames rose on the surface of the flaming sword light, a sharp sword intent that burned everything was released.

The five-color sword net was spinning and dancing around the flaming sword light.

Finally, under the continuous impact of the sword energy, the flame sword dragon collapsed and disappeared on the spot.

"Yes, you can actually block my sword head-on like this. You are the second one since the competition, except for He Zijian."

Seeing the flame sword disappear, Jin Sheng's slightly cold face showed surprise.

"You are the first one who can block my sword formation!"

Zhou Ling said calmly.

Through [Intermediate Observation] and [Intermediate Analysis], he has a rough idea of ​​Jin Sheng's sword tactics.

The sword technique practiced by Jin Sheng is at most the lower grade of Xuan level, which is not as good as the five elements sword tactics he practiced.

Of course, the opponent relies on the advantage of the sword body and comprehends the power of the sword.

As soon as the voice fell, Zhou Ling condensed the Hundred Swords Formation again. At this time, he had experience and was no longer in a hurry to fight with Jin Sheng.

Instead, he only condensed thirty sword rays at once, turned into a sword net and slashed towards Jin Sheng.

After taking the sword just now, he had roughly understood the strength of the opponent's sword intent.

So he was not in a hurry to decide the winner.

Instead, he wanted to take the opportunity to improve his understanding of the sword energy furnace through [Intermediate Analysis].

At the same time, he would be able to fight Jin Sheng more comprehensively in the future when he entered [Illusion Simulation].

"Hmph!"

"You can only condense the sword formation just now once!"

Seeing that Zhou Ling's sword formation attack was obviously much weaker than before, Jin Sheng snorted disdainfully, chanted the spell, and injected spiritual power into the magic sword again.

"Boy, I only have four sword moves now. He Zijian was defeated by my last sword. I want to see how many of my swords you can block?"

Jin Sheng's tone was quite proud.

The magic sword in the air then slashed out.

A flame sword light condensed instantly, and the steaming hot sword light was several feet long, but it suddenly increased by more than ten feet.

And accompanied by the burst of flame light, a series of rotating flame vortices appeared on the sword light, with extremely amazing power.

[You are observing the Honglu Sword Art, Intermediate Observation +1, Sword Qi Ronglu Sword Intention +1]

[You are analyzing the Honglu Sword Art, Intermediate Analysis +1, Sword Qi Ronglu Sword Intention +1]

Staring at the flame sword light with full concentration, Zhou Ling was not afraid at all, and the sword net blasted down.

These rotating flame sword energy vortexes were exactly the burning sword intention that Jin Sheng had comprehended.

Rumble!

The two sword lights clashed fiercely again.

Bang bang bang!

Zhou Ling's sword nets were burned one after another.

It turned into a sky full of sword light and dissipated on the competition stage.

And the flame sword light still blasted straight in like a broken bamboo.

Zhou Ling's mind moved.

"Whoosh!"

The ten magic swords surrounding him were surrounded by sword light, and the sword light rippled and slashed out.

This time, thirty sword lights intertwined again, but the sword light whistled and condensed into a furnace, releasing a completely different breath from before.

Instantly, it collided with the flying flaming sword light.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a loud noise that shot straight into the sky, the five-colored sword light and the flaming sword light suddenly intertwined in the air, and the air wave swept around it.

On the competition stage, the second-level glass jade was scratched with deep marks.

The two held out for a few breaths before the sword lights on both sides gradually dissipated.

"It really works!"

Looking at the dissipated sword light, Zhou Ling showed a happy expression. By condensing the sword formation in this way, his consumption was greatly reduced.

The same sixty sword lights were condensed to attack twice, but the consumption was only about half of the first time.

Of course, this is also after [Intermediate Analysis], he has a better understanding of the attack properties of the opponent's sword moves and sword intent.

In addition, the assistance of [Meticulous] makes his consumption much lower than that of the same level cultivators.

Otherwise, if he controls ten magic swords at the same time, he can only have one or two strikes at the seventh level of Qi training.

This is also why Wang Xin can only control five magic swords.

Of course, this attack is not without cost.

Among the ten magic swords, three of them were already dim and lightless, obviously unable to withstand the opponent's sword attack.

Zhou Ling's consciousness roughly scanned and found that the inscriptions on the three magic swords had burst directly, without even a chance to repair.

He felt a pain in his heart. Three first-grade upper-grade magic swords would cost hundreds of lower-grade spirit stones.

Then he didn't care about the pain, and slapped the storage bag again, and another three magic swords flew out of it to replace the original magic swords.

His eyes swept over Jin Sheng and saw that he looked solemn. Obviously, the previous sword also consumed a lot of energy.

"What?"

Jin Sheng looked unbelievable when he saw that this sword was so easily blocked by Zhou Ling.

Even if he had fought hard with He Zijian in the morning, He Zijian had to consume a lot of mana to block his flaming sword.

But this time, it was blocked by Zhou Ling!

"He is only at the seventh level of Qi training, how could he control the sword formation so easily?"

Instructor Hu said with surprise.

"How come this kid is getting calmer and calmer as the battle goes on? And why do I feel that the aura of his sword formation is somewhat similar to Jin Sheng's sword intent!"

Instructor Xiao's eyes flashed, and he said in a rather interesting tone.

"This kid's cultivation talent is really amazing."

"If I'm not mistaken, he is learning Jin Sheng's sword intent."

Instructor Wang's tone was also full of shock.

He was a second-level sword cultivator, so he could easily see that Zhou Ling's sword intent was somewhat similar to Jin Sheng's sword intent.

But there were also differences.

Although the two sides fought three swords.

In fact, Jin Sheng only used two swords.

Zhou Ling activated the sword formation three times.

The aura of the sword light condensed in these three sword formations can be said to be completely different.

The first time was fierce and powerful, and Zhou Ling did not hold back too much.

The second sword changed flexibly, obviously mainly for testing.

The third sword showed that Zhou Ling's terrifying experience in fighting actually condensed the sword intent and directly annihilated Jin Sheng's sword light.

"What? This little guy is actually learning while fighting, this?"

Hearing what Wang said, the other instructors also saw the clues and were surprised.

You know, this is the championship battle of the Taoist Academy's assessment competition.

The opponent he faced was Jin Sheng, who was much stronger than him.

But Zhou Ling was able to deal with it so calmly, and he looked at ease.

This shocked these experienced instructors.

"This second sword is just so-so, let me see your third sword!"

With the gains from the first two swords, Zhou Ling was even more eager to try, and took the initiative to provoke his opponent.

Of course, he was not aimless. From the situation of the first two swords, we can roughly see Jin Sheng's current combat power.

Even the third sword or the fourth sword may not be that powerful.

Of course, even if the power is strong, he can effectively block it with the help of [Intermediate Analysis].

So, at this moment, Zhou Ling had no fear in his heart.

He even hoped to improve his own sword intent through the opponent's sword intent through [Intermediate Observation] and [Intermediate Analysis].

Hearing Zhou Ling's words, Jin Sheng's eyes flashed with anger.

His original plan was to fight quickly and defeat Zhou Ling as quickly as possible.

In this way, Wang Xin, who was familiar with Zhou Ling, would know his strength.

He had a good impression of Wang Xin, but he didn't know how to make friends with her.

In his opinion, as long as he showed enough strength, Wang Xin would naturally have a good impression of him.

But he didn't expect that two consecutive swords were blocked so easily by Zhou Ling.

At this time, Zhou Ling's provocation made him even more angry.

Huh!

With a light breath, Jin Sheng's aura suddenly changed, and it seemed that there was a surge of sword energy around him.

Zhou Ling couldn't help but shudder. At this moment, he felt that Jin Sheng was like a sharp sword, revealing a sharp sword intent.

"Is this the sword intent blessing of the sword body?"

Feeling the sword light surrounding Jin Sheng, Zhou Ling was shocked.

This is indeed not something that an ordinary sword cultivator can do.

"Burning Flame Sword Slash, Fall!"

Jin Sheng shouted angrily, and the spiritual power in his body was injected into the magic sword.

With the blessing of Jin Sheng's spiritual power, the flame sword suddenly turned into a half-foot fire sword.

The rising flames raised a hot sword flame several feet high. In the fierce sword energy, there was a burning breath, which was amazing.

The entire competition stage was reflected as a scarlet sea of ​​swords.

Jin Sheng used 70% of his spiritual power in this attack to condense this powerful burning sword.

He wanted to defeat Zhou Ling in one fell swoop.

The sword light was overwhelming, sweeping like a flaming sword dragon, and slashed towards Zhou Ling.

[You are observing the Honglu Sword Art, intermediate observation +1, sword energy furnace sword intent +1]

[You are analyzing the Honglu Sword Art, intermediate analysis +1, sword energy furnace sword intent +1]

Boom!

Seeing such a powerful sword light, Zhou Ling did not dare to be careless and used all his strength to activate the Hundred Swords Formation.

At the same time, he integrated the [Sword Control] talent and the sword energy furnace sword intent.

The crisp sword sound resounded in all directions.

Ten magic swords flew out.

Transformed into sixty intertwined sword lights, the sword energy rose, and it was like a sword energy furnace, directly sweeping the flying flaming sword dragon again.

The sword energy furnace can refine and devour other sword energy, and then cooperate with Zhou Ling's five elements of magic power, restraining each other and generating each other, endlessly.

The power is no less than the opponent's burning sword intent.

Boom!

The entire competition platform was instantly filled with sword energy, and the whistling was amazing.

Suddenly, the flame sword dragon burst out a whirlpool of flames, whistling violently in all directions, and cut off most of the five-colored sword light.

When it broke through the sword energy furnace, it had become extremely dim, and it was obvious that there was not much power left.

"Cut!"

"Boy, you are proud enough to let me use the fourth sword!"

Jin Sheng shouted violently, and the remaining spiritual power in his body burst out, and the whole body burst into sword light, as if it had merged with the magic sword in the air.

Immediately, a giant flaming sword of more than ten feet in length condensed and slashed down towards Zhou Ling.

"Not good!"

At this time, Zhou Ling felt that the ten magic swords that he had been controlling with ease suddenly sank, as if they were imprisoned by an unknown force.

It was extremely difficult for him to control them.

But at this moment, the giant flaming sword had already slashed down like a broken bamboo.

"Not good!"

"Not good!"

Deacon Qin and Instructor Hu almost exclaimed at the same time.

They could all feel the terrifying power contained in Jin Sheng's sword, and Zhou Ling might not be able to block it.

At the same time, the flaming sword light had already slashed across the sky, and Zhou Ling had no way to avoid it at this moment, so he could only take it head-on!

"Then let's decide the outcome!"

Zhou Ling silently thought in his heart, without the slightest hesitation, the beast flame in his body instantly injected into the five elements sword vein circulation.

Then the dazzling flame spiritual power was injected into the sword formation.

The ten magic swords immediately got rid of the suppression state and became agile again.

"Hundred Swords Formation Slash!"

Zhou Ling shouted fiercely.

Boom!

It was as if hundreds of swords were ringing at the same time.

Ten magic swords burst out with blazing five-color sword light, condensing into a sword energy furnace that was even more powerful than the flaming giant sword.

It exuded the terrible power of the furnace and slammed heavily with the flaming giant sword.

Rumble!

The two terrifying sword intentions collided again, and the two extremely similar sword intentions burst out with a deafening sound at the moment of collision.

The sword light burst out.

It burst out with dazzling brilliance.

Then it spun violently, as if devouring and burning each other, and finally gradually dimmed, and finally turned into light and shadow and dissipated.

"What!"

"How is it possible?"

Jin Sheng stared with disbelief. The fourth sword that even He Zijian couldn't block was actually blocked by Zhou Ling.

But before he could react.

The figure in front of him flashed, and a black fist hit his face.

"Ah!"

Jin Sheng screamed and fainted directly.

Zhou Ling's panting figure emerged.

"This?"

"How did this kid do it?"

As the sword light faded, Jin Sheng was seen knocked unconscious by Zhou Ling's punch.

All the judges looked incredulous.

"Zhou Ling won and became the champion of this year's assessment!"

After a moment, the judges confirmed that Jin Sheng was unconscious before announcing loudly.

"Ling'er won!"

Zhou Shan excitedly punched, his face full of excitement.

Li Ru's eyes were filled with tears, her son actually became the champion of Lingxia Fairy City.

This was something she could never have dreamed of.
