As we all know, the Shangqing Sect of Mount Shu is a somewhat shady sect.

Since sword masters rely heavily on the "breakthrough of enlightenment between life and death", their sects also intentionally encourage sword fights between people of the same level.

The most typical rule is that if someone challenges you to a duel with swords and you refuse, you will have to pay a large amount of spirit stones.

This kind of atmosphere and environment made everyone very aggressive. Even a gentle person like Senior Sister An had to pretend to be extremely vicious, otherwise she would be treated as a soft persimmon.

In this case, it is actually more suitable for Junior Sister Xu to go to the Shangqing Sect of Shushan.

With her competitive personality, whenever she was unhappy, she would go find a junior fellow student to duel with, and beat the weaker one, and her ideas would immediately become clear.

On the contrary, in Kunlun, everyone was busy breathing and refining qi, so she couldn't move freely. If she kept it in her heart, wouldn't that become a flaw in her Taoism?

Alas, it’s all a problem of sect’s culture!

Qiu Changtian still remembers that time when Junior Sister Xu led the Asuras in the Four Kings Shura Land in the Li Palace Trial Secret Realm to kill the Celestials crazily and won one victory after another.

At that time, there was indeed a pure smile on her face that came from the bottom of her heart.

Now, all I have to do is repeat the same trick and bring that smile back to my junior sister.

"Challenge my fellow disciples from Kunlun?" Xu Yinglian was puzzled for a moment, then became a little angry, "Are you asking me to crush those junior brothers and sisters who are weaker than me?"

"Haha." Qiu Changtian shook his head and said with a smile, "Ying Lian."

"What?" Xu Yinglian felt a little uncomfortable when she called him by his name, and his attention was quickly diverted.

"If we ignore your cultivation and only talk about swordsmanship, how do you compare to my third junior brother Guan Zhan?" Qiu Changtian asked with a smile.

"…I think they are on par with each other." Xu Yinglian said hesitantly.

"On par with each other?" Qiu Changtian said seriously, "How does Kunlun Sword Controlling compare to Shushan Sword Controlling, or even the secret sword controlling of the Longxi Guan family?"

Xu Yinglian was silent for a moment, then sighed:

"Maybe."

Qiu Changtian asked like a string of cannonballs:

"Since the exquisiteness of Kunlun Sword Control is far inferior to the secret swordsmanship of the Longxi Guan family, which specializes in swordsmanship, then Junior Sister has been immersed in swordsmanship for decades longer than Junior Brother Guan, so that she has far more combat experience than Junior Brother Guan? Or is Junior Sister's swordsmanship talent so outstanding that Junior Brother Guan cannot match her?"

"I..." Xu Yinglian hesitated for a moment before admitting, "In terms of swordsmanship alone, I may... well, it is true that I cannot beat Junior Brother Guan for the time being."

"Okay!" Qiu Changtian laughed and clapped his hands. "In that case, how about we try to improve your swordsmanship so that you can definitely beat him?"

"Ah, this?" Xu Yinglian became confused.

Just as Qiu Changtian said, he was not as talented as Guan Zhan, and his experience was also about the same. He was even further behind in swordsmanship. How could he possibly win in a swordsmanship contest alone?

Unless you rely on flying swords!

However, Guan Zhan recently received a tenth-order flying sword from the Li Palace trial. I don’t have any advantage in this equipment, right?

"Are you scared, Junior Sister?" Qiu Changtian said with a smile.

"Afraid?" Xu Yinglian blurted out immediately, "How is that possible?!"

She subconsciously wanted to say "I'm not even afraid of you, so how could I be afraid of my junior brother?", but she thought that would be too demoralizing and her elder senior brother was so impressive, so she forced herself to change the words to "How is that possible?"

"That's it!" Qiu Changtian laughed, "Ying Lian, don't belittle yourself. You are my Qiu Changtian's recognized junior sister!"

[Invincible character, synchronization value +1. ]

"I'm not belittling myself!" Xu Yinglian became angry and said in a muffled voice, "Humph, I know my potential, but you tell me, how can I beat him in swordsmanship?"

"Of course, fence with me!" Qiu Changtian said loudly.

…

Xu Yinglian clenched his teeth.

When Qiu Changtian borrowed the training method of Jingang Fenglin Duanshan and used his superb swordsmanship to overwhelm Xu Yinglian and push her to her limit, her subconscious reaction was to hold on for dear life.

Never escape, never show weakness, never admit defeat.

His performance was even stronger than Ling Yunpo's back then.

Qiu Changtian secretly praised in his heart and said:

"Don't think about the difference in strength between you and me. What you really need to defeat is the cowardly self who always wants to give up!"

"Of course I know!" Xu Yinglian said viciously.

Her high concentration and long-term control of the flying sword have brought her physical strength and will to the brink of collapse.

But she still gritted her teeth and mobilized the little remaining true energy, continuing to urge Yu Jia to block the attack of the Yuyan Sword.

"That's enough." Qiu Changtian suddenly put away his flying sword, "Take a break first."

Xu Yinglian trembled as he recalled the Yujia Sword, and then he slowly meditated on the bluestone beside him to restore his true energy.

"Next, let's talk about your problems with swordsmanship..." Qiu Changtian didn't let her rest.

Because once this girl has free time, she tends to have wild thoughts.

Once you start to let your mind wander, it's easy to get stuck in a rut and then start to go crazy.

Therefore, based on Ling Yunpo's experience in sword training, Qiu Changtian planned to use the "high-pressure training method" on her, using a full training schedule to occupy all her time, leaving her no chance to think about anything else.

Sure enough, when it came to "problems in swordsmanship", Xu Yinglian, although exhausted, forced himself to listen.

Although they both used Kunlun sword-wielding technique, Qiu Changtian's sword-wielding skills had already completely crushed Xu Yinglian by relying on his knowledge of swordsmanship.

Under normal circumstances, this girl might not be able to accept the fact, "The gap between me and my senior brother is so big", but Xu Yinglian did not have the time for that.

She just listened attentively, absorbing the kendo knowledge that Qiu Changtian instilled in her like a sponge.

There was only one firm thought left in my mind, circling over and over again, unable to be dispelled:

I must defeat Guan Zhan in swordsmanship!

Then, find a way to surpass your senior!

After a few days, Qiu Changtian realized that his junior sister's swordsmanship had improved by leaps and bounds, so he announced the end of the training and took her to challenge Guan Zhan to a sword fight.

"No need for cultivation, no need for Taoism, just focus on swordsmanship?" Guan Zhan, who didn't understand what was going on, said in surprise.

Just talking about swordsmanship proficiency, let alone Senior Sister Xu, even if your Senior Brother Qiu came, wasn't he easily suppressed by me?

"That's right." Xu Yinglian said coldly.

Although there was still a trace of fatigue between her brows at this moment, her whole temperament was like a sword that had just been tempered in water, cold and sharp.

"Okay." Guan Zhan also sneered.

Since you want to humiliate yourself, you can't blame me.

Upon hearing that Senior Sister Xu was going to challenge Junior Brother Guan in swordsmanship, Chen Zhen and the others could no longer stay in the cave, and hurriedly followed Senior Brother Qiu with their swords to watch the fight.
