Chapter 39: Weird Swordsmanship
At night.
Stars twinkle in the sky.
Xu Xiaoshou only slept for half the night before waking up.
Well, it's not because of the semi-final tomorrow that he's nervous, absolutely not!
He took up his sword and walked into the courtyard, quietly standing there.
Amid the cicadas and frogs, the wind was quiet, and the people were even quieter.
"It's a good time to practice swordsmanship..."
Xu Xiaoshou recalled the swordsmanship he had learned in the past few days.
"Mastery of Swordsmanship" is really different from other passive skills. It is not like "Strong" or "Sharp" which is given for free. It gives more insights.
And these insights need Xu Xiaoshou to summarize them himself.
He slowly closed his eyes.
At this moment, everything in the yard seemed to be trembling slightly.
Rockery, spirit pond, newly built house...
He recalled Chao Qingteng's "No Snow in Great Cold". So far in the competition, this move has impressed him the most.
It's not because of the power of this spirit skill or the skill level.
It was because this was the first time Xu Xiaoshou had seen someone separate the sword intent from himself and place it on snowflakes.
This method of using sword intent really broadened his horizons.
Yes, he was now stealing the master.
Stealing Chao Qingteng's "Great Cold without Weapons"!
Although he did not fall into the snow, since the sword intent could be placed in the snow, could it be placed on other natural things?
The cold wind blew, and Xu Xiaoshou seemed to be in harmony with nature, and the small stones on the ground actually trembled rapidly.
Snap!
Snap!
Xu Xiaoshou suddenly opened his eyes, and the gravel rose into the air, like the floating snow, and the sword intent rose.
"Hah!"
He swung the sword, and in his mind there was a fairyland of snow-capped mountains rolling, as if this sword could cut through the sky and the earth!
In his sight, the gravel shook violently and fell to the ground with a snap.
Hmm...
Gone?
Xu Xiaoshou's face darkened. How could this be so different from what he imagined?
"Huh!"
Fortunately, no one saw it...
Otherwise, it would be very embarrassing.
He calmed down a little and realized that stealing the master's skills was not that simple.
However, this sword technique that parasitizes all things with sword intent seems to have a lot of uses?
"In essence, this is also a way to fight with sword intent..."
Xu Xiaoshou paced with his sword in hand, his thoughts suddenly scattered in the night.
This way of practice is very similar to the way of fighting that he had thought about before, which used sword intent only without spiritual skills.
"Move with your heart and follow the blade?"
The scene of falling leaves and thousands of people being destroyed appeared in his mind, and then the scene of one sword coming to the court and thousands of swords returning to the origin appeared.
Perhaps if he continued on this path, he could reach such a realm?
Xu Xiaoshou was somewhat tempted. He knew that he was not very talented. He only practiced one style of Baiyun Sword Technique in three years.
But his understanding of sword intent improved with the emergence of "Mastery of Sword Skills".
In this case, can he try to walk on this path?
The mainstream path of sword cultivation is to use sword intent in conjunction with spiritual skills to produce terrifying output.
But his idea is to fight purely with sword intent.
This is destined to be a completely different path from the public. I just don't know whether it will eventually go astray or create its own style in the mainstream.
"Alas!"
Xu Xiaoshou shook his head. The latter is too difficult. He should take it one step at a time!
"Think about how to play in tomorrow's semi-finals first..."
The innate body has been exposed, and everyone knows it. As long as he keeps a distance from him, he will lose half of his advantage.
The only thing that can influence the battle situation is this "Hidden Bitterness"...
Xu Xiaoshou looked strange. How did he get around and around, and still get around to the sword intent?
He fell into deep thought.
A style of white clouds, under the amplification of sword intent, he played many tricks.
Net sword style, sword-drawing style, reverse sword style...
The first two are fine, just the initial application of sword intent, but for the "reverse sword style"...
Xu Xiaoshou looked at the "hidden bitterness" in his hand.
In the battle with Chao Qingteng, this style that flashed with inspiration at the critical moment was more of a combination of sword intent and sword.
At that time, he felt that "hidden bitterness" had come to life!
"Sword and weapon spiritual communication?"
This seems to be a way for sword intent to entrust other things, but "hidden bitterness" is closer to himself, so it was successfully realized.
Xu Xiaoshou suddenly had an idea. He could entrust "hidden bitterness" through sword intent to achieve a reverse counterattack, but it was only limited to this?
No!
Xu Xiaoshou's eyes burst into light. If he could perfectly control "hidden bitterness" through sword intent, wouldn't he be able to achieve the legendary "sword control technique"? !
Even...
Flying with a sword? !
You know, flying is a congenital patent. He is only at the eighth level of spiritual cultivation. If he can fly with a sword, wouldn’t it be amazing?
"Try it!"
Xu Xiaoshou recalled the afternoon battle and infused the sword intent into the body of the "Zangku" sword.
"Om..."
After a long sound, the "Zangku" trembled.
Xu Xiaoshou was startled. He really felt that the black sword in his hand was not like a dead object, but more like a trace of intelligence.
Very good!
This shows that he has established a relationship with it.
Xu Xiaoshou threw the "Zangku" out and raised his two fingers upward.
"Rise!"
He seemed to see the scene of the black sword flying in the air, but after being thrown out, it fell to the ground like an ordinary sword.
Dangdangdang!
Xu Xiaoshou's face was as black as charcoal. The black sword seemed to have been used by someone, and it fell to the ground and struggled continuously.
No, it was not like this in the afternoon!
Could it be that the force of throwing the sword was weak?
Xu Xiaoshou picked up the sword, infused the sword intent again, and threw it violently.
Whoosh!
The sword body lit up and shot towards the horizon!
Xu Xiaoshou shouted that it was feasible. Not long after, he felt the excitement of the sword again and immediately summoned it.
With a swish, a black spot appeared in the sky and stabbed towards Xu Xiaoshou.
Xu Xiaoshou was shocked. He was not covered by ice sculptures now. If he stabbed with this sword, wouldn't he be the second Chao Qingteng?
Thinking of this, he jumped up quickly and wanted to stand on the sword and fly the sword.
As a result, the flying speed of "Zangku" was too fast, passing under his feet and tripping him instantly.
Bang!
Bang!
The two fell to the ground together, and the scene was dead silent for a while.
"Damn it, I don't believe it!"
"Come again!"
Xu Xiaoshou tried the sword again. He had to practice the legendary sword-riding technique tonight!
The result...
Bang!
Bang!
"Continue!"
Bang!
Bang!
…
Persistence is poison, and the night makes people sad.
I don’t know how long it took, but Xu Xiaoshou finally realized that when he threw the sword, the black sword was not spiritual.
The moment it really got excited was when it flew to the extreme and summoned it.
That is the "reverse" of "reverse sword style". Only in the process of "reverse", the black sword is truly spiritual.
This discovery made Xu Xiaoshou silent for a long time. He couldn't figure out what the difference was between "throwing out" and "flying back".
However, he couldn't find the reason.
"This damn "reverse sword style"..."
"I should have changed the name to "control sword style" earlier!"
Xu Xiaoshou simply abandoned the step of throwing the sword, pointed the tip of the sword at himself, and instilled the sword intent.
"Buzz!"
The sword body instantly jumped up, and Xu Xiaoshou felt life for the first time.
He reversed the tip of the sword and pointed it towards the horizon.
"Buzz..."
There was only a trace of this vitality left.
Turn it over again.
"Buzz!"
Flip again and again.
"Buzz..."
Xu Xiaoshou: "..."
What kind of principle is this? It must be facing me to be intelligent?
I think you want to devour the master!
Xu Xiaoshou didn't believe it and flipped continuously.
"Buzz!"
"Buzz..."
"Buzz!"
"Buzz..."
A black line descended, and Xu Xiaoshou angrily threw "Zangku" out. This sword is sick!
Whoosh!
The black sword flew again.
Xu Xiaoshou: "..."
Initiate a curse, passive value, +0!
