Fairy, return my flying sword to me

Chapter 75 Heizi speaks!

"Open your mouth." The elder flew behind Lin Jian and threw a pill into his mouth.

Then he stretched out his right hand and released his true energy to help Lin Jian quickly dissolve the medicinal effects.

After a long battle in the forest, the true energy in his body had long been exhausted. The battle with the Qingfeng Sword Master completely drained all the true energy in his body.

Helping the champion replenish his energy in a timely manner is also the responsibility of the presiding elder.

Watching Lin Jian meditate and recover under his guidance, the elder looked up at the disciples around him and said, "Any disciples who wish to challenge me, please wait for half an hour to give the champion some time to recover."

The disciples below the stage all turned their heads to look elsewhere, fearing that if they turned too late they would be identified as the next challenger.

He closed his eyes and rested in the woods, trying to calm the emptiness and loss in his mind, as if his brain had been drained by a straw.

After three consecutive bursts of sword intent, he felt that his current mental state seemed to have fallen into a fragile state, and he was in an inexplicable panic.

Although the sword intention is good, it cannot be used recklessly.

After several battles, Lin Jian became more alert to the strength of the Jindan period.

So far, I have encountered four battles related to the Jindan stage.

The first time was when Haruyuki mentioned the demon who possessed the strength of the Golden Core Stage.

But that demon was obviously only a fake pill. Part of its strength was reflected in absorbing spirits from polluted creatures. After being shielded by Qiye Yihua and the national teacher's good souls, its own strength was probably not as good as that of the Golden Core Stage. At least, it gave Lin Jian the feeling that it was not as good as King Kongzi who had just entered the Golden Core Stage.

Facing Jian Guan Changhong, who had already shown a hint of sword intent, he was naturally no match for him.

The second object of cognition is the national teacher.

But the national teacher was just pretending to be good in front of him, and secondly, he only demonstrated a simple spell, the palm thunder, from beginning to end.

At the same time, as a casual cultivator, I have no idea what cards the other party has, so I cannot use them as a reference at all.

The third one was King Kongzi. This guy was too arrogant to charge himself fully. The seven consecutive Thousand Blades Tribulation Pointers, which were filled with a thousand golden swords, were clearly arranged for him.

He was carried away before he could even display his strength as a beginner in the Golden Core stage. Apart from knowing that his fully charged Thousand Blades Tribulation Finger could indeed cause enough damage to those in the Golden Core stage, he didn't gain any other experience.

Finally, there is the Qingfeng Sword Master who just finished fighting.

This person can probably be considered the benchmark of the Jindan period.

Let’s not talk about the quality of true qi and the strength of spiritual consciousness for now.

The biggest improvement in the Jindan stage is probably their amazing reaction speed or the ability to multitask.

Just like when he faced his first sword, he gathered spells in his left hand to block it, and drew his sword with his right hand at the same time. While he could only make one attacking move, they could make two moves at the same time, both offensive and defensive.

Just like the battle march he had learned from Haruyuki, the effect of allowing himself to perform other actions while maintaining the divine movement state was extremely powerful.

This means that his speed in battle is at least three or four times faster than that of other Foundation Establishment cultivators. If he did not have the foundation of this move, it would be difficult for him to perform the move of Sword Piercing the Long Rainbow relying on pure swordsmanship.

Speed ​​is also crucial.

The same difference will also cause a dimensionality reduction attack on oneself when facing the Jindan stage.

For every move you make, the opponent can make two. With such a simple comparison, you can't compete with someone in the Jindan stage.

In fact, it is not only the Jindan stage that needs to be paid attention to, but even the cultivators in the foundation-building stage also need to be extremely careful.

Lin Jian did not become completely arrogant because of his great success in the sect. The dozens of battles he had just fought with his fellow disciples actually revealed his shortcomings in many aspects.

The first is spiritual awareness. He was unable to detect the control magic weapon of Taoist Duobao in advance, which led to him falling into trouble.

Except for some top-level magic weapons, most magic weapons have a certain delay before they are activated. A strong level of spiritual awareness can help monks effectively detect anomalies in advance and avoid them directly.

Although he had previously taken a frontal attack from the consciousness of Vajrazi, who was in the Jindan stage, the fundamental reason was that the killing image of the White Tiger Roaring Sky Formation that he saw in his sea of ​​consciousness was not his actual level.

Even if there was this killing array raging in his sea of ​​consciousness, he was good at defense but lacked offense and insight.

Improving the level of spiritual awareness and practicing pupil techniques are urgent. Secondly, I still lack some means.

Conventional swordsmanship is not aggressive enough, the White Tiger Roaring Sky Formation needs to be arranged in advance, the Thousand Blades Finger requires time to charge, and the sword intent cannot be unleashed indefinitely.

Only one sword can be used as a regular burst, but it also consumes a lot of true energy.

The level of the first foundation-building stage is still too low.

The improvement in each realm itself is not that much, it is just the inevitable evolution that a cultivator will get on the path of cultivation.

The techniques that one is allowed to practice after reaching each realm are the things that can truly improve a cultivator's combat power.

The second level of foundation building can cultivate pupil skills. The efficiency of transforming Taibai Xuan Gang is higher at the second level of foundation building. The second level of foundation building can cultivate new skills...

Foundation Building Level 3... Foundation Building Level 4...

Just now, the two sword-cultivating brothers who were both of the gold attribute used extremely cool techniques, which made Lin Jian very envious.

In recent days, Lin Jian has also roughly browsed all the magic techniques that all disciples of Zhengyang Sect can access in the subsequent stages of the foundation-building period. He has already made a specific plan for his subsequent upgrade system and is just waiting for the upgrade.

No, no! I need to practice! I need to level up!

…The elder guarding the forest silently withdrew his true energy.

What's going on? Why is this kid recovering and suddenly refining my Qi?

"..."

"He's practicing now!"

'During this tense and exciting defense, he actually started practicing without paying attention to anyone else!'

"No one is here to stop him! I can't stand it any more!"

Of course, no one cares about Lin Jian anymore.

Are you kidding me?
It was personally certified by the Qingfeng Sword Master that he mastered the sword intent with the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment Stage. It is better not to try to offend a genius of this level. Didn’t you hear the Sword Master say that Senior Brother Lin has been suppressing his strength to fight against them?

"I've always said that the sect elders are very perceptive. Senior Brother Lin, with his strength at the Foundation Establishment stage, is the universal choice for this arena champion. There's absolutely no personal feelings involved!"

"Who else besides Senior Brother Lin is qualified to represent the sect in the Four Sects Competition?"

"Who just said that Senior Brother Lin's virtue is unworthy of his position? Heizi, speak up!"

"Heizi is lying on the ground, unable to speak..."

……

In the main hall, the sect leader and many elders withdrew their gazes and chuckled softly.

"Qingfeng is still as friendly and approachable as ever."

"To actually step down in person on such an occasion is simply ridiculous."

"But this disciple is also amazing. He can actually make Qingfeng use one-third of his true strength."

"He's only at the foundation building stage, right? He's truly a formidable young talent. But why do I remember anyone saying this disciple is unteachable?"

"Who?! Who said that?" Chuan Gong glared around. "I've long said this disciple is exceptionally gifted and a true pillar of the sect! Sect Master, as the Chuan Gong Elder, I have the responsibility to introduce and teach new disciples. I'm shamelessly asking for a magical weapon for this disciple to demonstrate our sect's commitment to supporting outstanding newcomers!"

"Agreed." The Sect Master said with a happy face, "After three days of defending the arena, you will take him to the Xuanji Treasury to choose a second-grade magical weapon."

"Thank you, Sect Master!" Chuan Gong bowed and accepted the order, glancing down.

"You're such a good kid, I won't target you or Zhen Yang anymore. I'll bribe you to release those talented people... The Zhen Yang Cult won't understand!"
