The Shushan Competition ended very quickly.
Guan Shanyue successfully defeated Lin Duanshan and Duan Fenhai and took the top spot on the Jindan Realm Immortal Sword List.
As for the top spot on the Foundation Establishment Realm Immortal Sword Ranking, it was a previously unknown female swordsman named Su Ning, which surprised most of the Shushan cultivators.
Because Su Ning was not an inner sect swordsman, but an outer sect disciple - in other words, her aptitude was not outstanding, so much so that no peak master was willing to accept her as a disciple.
It is truly incredible that an outer disciple can defeat so many inner disciples in a competition.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that a long time ago, there were also two guys who did not have a master (basically equivalent to outer disciples), and they directly killed their way to the first and second place on the Fairy Sword Ranking.
Of those two monsters, one has now become an immortal, and the other is the master of Qingluo Peak, the holder of the Sun Zhenmei Sword, and is known as the number one person in the Nascent Soul Realm below the immortals...
Therefore, the battle between Su Ning and other sword masters was also dug up and studied in detail.
"This is an assassin." Chen Guanshui watched Su Ning's last duel and came back to discuss with An Zhisu, "She is just like you, Senior Sister. She also likes to use the sword together."
"When man and sword become one, their power is unmatched. If the opponent's mind is shaken, it is easiest to take the opportunity to kill him." An Zhisu said seriously.
"But this Su Ning used the unity of man and sword not to behead people." Chen Guanshui took a branch and wrote on the ground, "Look, Senior Sister, she stood in this position, and then used the unity of man and sword to get to this position... How do you think it is?"
"She wants to move." An Zhisu was born with a swordsman's heart, and immediately saw through the other party's intention, and suddenly realized, "Move to a position where it is more convenient to launch a surprise attack."
"And she also used the sword technique very cunningly." Chen Guanshui added, "The sword energy was displayed before the person and the sword merged into one, and then she attacked the opponent from another direction to attract the opponent's attention and make him ignore the real killing move."
"But shouldn't the opponent's attention be on the unity of man and sword?" An Zhisu pondered and said, "The flaw of the unity of man and sword is that the man and sword are indistinguishable. Wherever the sword light is, that's where the sword immortal is, isn't it?"
"This is actually easy to explain." Chen Guanshui said with a smile, "Senior Sister, you mostly use the combination of man and sword to attack others, but you have never been able to deal with a combination of man and sword, right? Let's try and we will know."
After receiving several blows from Su Mingjian, An Zhisu was beaten to a pulp, but he finally understood:
"I see. The sword light of the combined being is too dazzling. In addition, she is approaching quickly from a distance, and her presence quickly enlarges in the opponent's field of vision. As a result, after the opponent blocks it with a flying sword, it is almost impossible to identify where she is going in the first place."
"At this time, his spiritual sense detected the sword energy coming from behind him, and his subconscious reaction was that the other party was attacking from behind, but he didn't know that it was just a bait released by Su Ning..."
"That's right." Chen Guanshui concluded, "So I said, this man looks like a reckless man, but in fact he is not reckless, but as meticulous as an assassin, and can be said to have used every possible means."
"Hmm." An Zhisu pondered for a while, and suddenly asked, "I heard that the masters of all the peaks are trying to recruit her?"
"Of course there are quite a few people with insight." Chen Guanshui said with a smile, "What we can see may not be invisible to other Yuanying elders."
"To dare to charge at the opponent with the sword and the person is brave; to be able to use the sword and the person to confuse the opponent is strategic. Who wouldn't admire such a disciple who is both brave and strategic?"
"But since Su Ning is both brave and resourceful, he must have anticipated that he would be in such high demand before the competition, so he must have already considered who he would take as his master."
"I want to take her as my disciple." An Zhisu said suddenly.
Chen Guanshui:?
"Senior Sister, are you sure?" he asked in surprise.
"We can't always have only two people in Qingluo Peak," An Zhisu said thoughtfully, "and now you are already a Chaos Daluo Jinxian, it would be a concession for you to be the Peak Master. Who in the sect still considers you a Qingluo Peak disciple?"
"That's true." Chen Guanshui nodded and said, "So Senior Sister plans to recruit her in person?"
"Brother, please come with me. I'm afraid I'm not good enough at talking to her."
That may not be the case... Chen Guanshui thought to himself.
With the dual recruitment of Taiyin Sword Master and Taiyang Sword Master, which sword immortal disciple in Shushan can resist? Unless they are traitors and spies!
To be honest, it is only us who test whether she is qualified or not, but she is not the one to consider whether we are qualified to be her teacher.
If she dares not to agree, he will arrest her immediately to see if she is the second “Ling Yun Po”!
Chen Guanshui and An Zhisu left Qingluo Peak and took a lot of effort to find Su Ning's location.
It turned out that Su Ning was an outer disciple. He had not taken a master and naturally had no fixed residence. He could go wherever he wanted on weekdays and was very free.
Finally, the female sword fairy was found in the market. She was standing in front of another outer disciple's stall, bargaining with the other party for a flying sword.
"You dare to ask for 5,000 spirit stones for a flying sword that's not even at the 10th level?" Su Ning said angrily, as if the other party had offered an unreasonable price. "For 5,000 spirit stones, I can go to Penglai and find someone to order a 9th-level flying sword!"
"Then you can go to Penglai and find someone to make it for you." The stall owner was obviously a seasoned man. He knew that no matter how angry Su Ning appeared, as long as she didn't leave, it meant that she was still hesitating in her heart.
"Three thousand two spirit stones." Su Ning decisively began to bargain.
"How can you find a ninth-tier flying sword for less than four thousand spirit stones now?" the stall owner asked. "Three thousand and two, I can't even afford it!"
"Then do as you say, four thousand spirit stones..." Su Ning was about to pay when he was suddenly stopped by someone.
"Personally, I think there is no need to buy it if it is just a ninth-rank flying sword." Chen Guanshui said.
"Master of Taiyin Sword?" Su Ning asked in astonishment, then looked at An Zhisu, "Master of Taiyang Sword?"
"Why, do you know us?" An Zhisu asked in surprise.
"How can I not know you two? You two are great masters of Shushan!" Su Ning said enthusiastically, "Who in Shushan doesn't know you?"
That may not be the case... Chen Guanshui looked at the stall owner. This outer disciple was completely dumbfounded. It seemed that he had not expected that the two great gods would come to his stall.
"I plan to take you in as my disciple." An Zhisu was not the type to fuss about other people's ideas, so she got straight to the point and said, "Your swordsmanship style is rough but also delicate, which is in line with my requirements for inheriting the orthodox tradition."
"If you join Qingluo Peak, I can teach you..."
"I do!" Su Ning said without hesitation before she could finish.
This was agreed too quickly, but An Zhisu liked such a straightforward personality, and she became more and more pleasing to the eye.
"You agreed so quickly?" Chen Guanshui asked with a smile, "What can you learn if you don't ask? What if she just accepts you as a nominal disciple?"
"In fact, I had already decided to come to Qingluo Peak before the competition." Su Ning said seriously, "It doesn't matter if I am a registered disciple."
"Oh?" Chen Guanshui reminded her, "Registered disciples are most likely not able to access the sect's secret inheritance methods. Even if you are a registered disciple of an immortal, the benefits may not be as good as a direct disciple of a Nascent Soul."
"It doesn't matter." Su Ning was silent for a moment, and suddenly confided in Chen Guanshui, "Master Taiyin Sword Master, I actually saw you holding your sword and looking down on the world several years ago."
"Since then, I have made up my mind to cultivate the flow of love, so I must enter Qingluo Peak in this life. Thank you for not abandoning me. I am willing to offer myself to you and be your swordsman."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Guanshui's expression changed drastically, and An Zhisu's smile froze on her face, completely solidified.
