Chapter 279 Damn it...
Jian Xi talked eloquently, "My Sword Pavilion Master once traveled around the world and found some sword bones of Sword Dao Immortal Emperors. These sword bones were left behind when the Sword Dao Immortal Emperors melted their lifelong swordsmanship into one bone in their bodies when they fell."
"The Lord of the Sword Pavilion polished these sword bones into Sword Heart Stones for use by swordsmen all over the world. However, Sword Heart Stones are far from being wielded by some ordinary sword cultivators. After using Sword Heart Stones, not only did they fail to successfully polish their swordsmanship, but they also damaged the charm of Sword Heart Stones."
"The Lord of the Sword Pavilion did not want this to happen, so he changed the rules. If you want to use the Sword Heart Stone, you must pass the Sword Pavilion's assessment. Only those who pass the assessment are eligible to use it."
Jian Xi did not finish the rest of the words. Perhaps the assessment for the Master of Sword Pavilion was too difficult and almost no sword cultivators passed it. As time went by, very few sword cultivators came to set foot in Sword Pavilion.
This Jianshan Mountain looks a bit deserted.
Fu Liyang had only heard that the Sword Heart Stone could be used free of charge by sword practitioners, but he didn't know that the rules were changed later.
"What do you think?" Fu Liyang planned to ask Ning Ruoxi's opinion. It was up to Ning Ruoxi to decide whether to go or stay.
Ning Ruoxi’s idea was very simple. Since she was already here, she had to take a look, right? Otherwise it would be a wasted trip.
"Senior Jianxi, I am Ning Baibai, and I believe I have a good talent in swordsmanship. I would like to try the assessment!" Ning Ruoxi saluted Jianxi.
Jian Xi nodded, "Of course, as long as you can pass the test, you can use the Sword Heart Stone."
"Follow me!" Jian Xi turned around and led the way for Ning Ruoxi.
However, the Sword Pavilion disciple on the side was still a little unconvinced, "Who would boast that they have good talent?"
"Yes! There is no sword cultivator like her. She looks cold and icy. She seems to be practicing the ruthless way."
“…”
Jian Xi walked in front and explained to Ning Ruoxi and Fu Liyang: "The content of the test is to pass the sword formation. There are nine levels in the sword formation. There are traces of swordsmanship left by the master of the sword pavilion in the spirit sword of each level. Only when the traces of swordsmanship are erased and the spirit sword of each level is completely controlled can you pass the test."
"The test is also dangerous. If you cannot control the spirit sword in a short period of time, you will be attacked by the spirit sword."
Ning Ruoxi nodded, "I understand."
"Where is your sword?" Jian Xi asked Ning Ruoxi.
Ning Ruoxi took out the Azure Sky Sword from the storage ring. Jian Xi only took a glance at it and said, "It's a good sword. It seems that the weapon refiner who made this sword held back, otherwise it would be a top-grade imperial spiritual sword."
"What is the name of this sword?"
"Blue sky!" Ning Ruoxi replied.
“It’s a good name.”
Ning Ruoxi noticed that Jian Xi looked at the Blue Sky Sword not as if he was looking at a sword, but as if he was looking at a life. This was difficult for Ning Ruoxi because she had no emotions and did not feel anything when looking at these dead things.
Dead things are dead things.
"As a sword cultivator, you actually put your spirit sword into your storage ring. How can you establish a connection with your spirit sword?"
"Yes! Only by often accompanying the spirit sword can we improve our tacit understanding with the spirit sword, and it can also help us comprehend the way of the sword."
"Spiritual swords are not dead things. It would be a waste of the Azure Sky Sword if it stayed with her."
“…”
The corners of Fu Liyang's mouth twitched slightly. It was obvious that he was trying hard to hold back his laughter. He wondered what expressions these self-proclaimed geniuses from the Sword Pavilion would have when they saw Ning Ruoxi's abilities.
Fu Liyang did not defend Ning Ruoxi, and Ning Ruoxi herself would not defend herself either.
Jianxi didn't say anything from beginning to end.
Ning Ruoxi came to the sword formation. The first level was very simple. There was only a magic sword inserted in the sword box.
Ning Ruoxi sensed the traces of swordsmanship left in the sword, which did not seem to be very powerful. She used the concentration technique to erase the traces of swordsmanship.
"The first level should just be an experience for those who challenge it..." Ning Ruoxi stepped forward and grabbed the hilt of the sword, pulled it out of the sword case, threw it on the ground, and then walked towards the sword formation of the next level.
The disciples of the Sword Pavilion who were watching from the side were a little angry, "Damn it, how could she treat the spirit sword like this? She actually threw it on the ground."
"Yes! From her attitude towards the Azure Sky Sword, it can be seen that she has no respect for the sword at all."
"Hmph, I want to see how far she can get."
"I won't go to practice sword fighting either. I have to watch her pass the level today."
“…”
In the second level, there are four sword boxes containing four magic swords.
Ning Ruoxi still used the concentration technique to erase the traces of swordsmanship on the four spirit swords. For her, it was a piece of cake.
"Damn it! She threw the spirit sword to the ground again!"
"It's abominable, but didn't you notice that it was so easy for her to pass the level? She just relied on her spiritual sense to erase all the traces of swordsmanship left by the sword master."
"Maybe it was just luck! Let's continue watching."
Ning Ruoxi listened to the discussion of the Sword Pavilion disciples, then turned around and entered the third level of the sword formation.
There are nine magic swords in this level. All nine magic swords fly out of the sword box and kill Ning Ruoxi.
Ning Ruoxi's eyes narrowed, perhaps the real test was just beginning.
"Nine spiritual swords..." Ning Ruoxi murmured softly. She found that the concentration technique was no longer effective and she had to use the power of swordsmanship.
Ning Ruoxi raised the Azure Sky Sword and swung it at the nine flying spirit swords. The nine spirit swords exploded in the air and turned into nothing.
"Damn it! I asked her to erase all traces of the sword, but she actually destroyed the spirit sword."
"This girl is not worthy of being a swordsman!"
"Elder Jianxi, I think she has no reverence for the sword. She is not worthy of continuing the assessment."
Jian Xi shook her head and refused, "There is no rule in the sword formation that the challenger cannot destroy the spirit sword. She can continue the test as long as she has not violated the rules."
Ning Ruoxi bowed to Jian Xi and said, "Thank you, Senior Jian Xi."
Level 4.
There were a total of eighteen spirit swords, and they all rushed out towards Ning Ruoxi. Ning Ruoxi only swung two more times, and all eighteen spirit swords were destroyed.
“Damn it…”
Ning Ruoxi flashed into the fifth level and ignored the complaints of the Sword Pavilion disciples.
In the fifth level, there are forty-eight spirit swords lined up.
The sword energy alone was no longer useful. The forty-eight spirit swords were arranged in an orderly manner to neutralize Ning Ruoxi's attacks one by one.
It even forced Ning Ruoxi to use the Azure Sky Sword to defend herself.
"It's so satisfying! She finally didn't get through so easily. Most sword cultivators only reach the limit of the Forty-Eight Heavenly Sword Formation."
Ning Ruoxi did not rush to attack, but carefully studied the attack patterns of the Tiangang Forty-Eight Sword Formation. This sword formation looked very gorgeous, but in fact, the flaws could still be found. As long as you spend some time observing, you can break through it.
Half a minute later, Ning Ruoxi split several spiritual swords nearby with one sword, and poured the power of swordsmanship into the Blue Sky Sword.
"Biluo... Huangquan."
A huge roar was heard, and forty-eight broken swords appeared on the ground in the fifth level.
"Damn it! She passed again..."
