Fusang Sword Heart Diagram

In front of the Sword Stone Forest.

There were about seventeen or eighteen people, including disciples of the Southern Star Sword Sect, Guan Zhuyin and Ruan Congquan from Sword Valley, disciples from the Sword Pavilion lineage of the Myriad Yi Sect, Yuqing Island, and Guiyi Sect.

Finally, ten people will be selected to guard the arena of the Five Continents Tournament.

The Southern Star Sword Sect has five spots available for disciples, while the remaining five spots are shared among the other sects.

Although Ning Fusang arrived early, she was the last to arrive. The others had arrived much earlier.

"Master Yu," she greeted him with a cupped hand.

Yu Wanwu gave a faint "hmm" and said, "Return to the team."

Wen Siling winked at Ning Fusang, signaling her to stand next to her. Participating in the training camp was not Wen Siling's wish. Within the Nanxing Sword Sect, there were many people more qualified than her to participate in the Five Continents Tournament. However, Sect Leader Shen said that she and Ning Fusang had made significant contributions to the Nanxing Sword Sect's victory in the Sword Challenge, and this was a reward.

Wen Siling smiled and thanked Shen Hongxue, but she had unspeakable bitterness in her heart.

She didn't want to participate in the training camp at all, and she especially didn't want to be scolded by Elder Yu!
Unfortunately, her master, Master Tanluan, thought this was a rare opportunity and instructed her to train hard and not bring shame to Queya Peak.

And so, Wen Siling was placed in the training camp team. Although she and Ning Fusang had only worked together once in the game "Mirror Flower Water Moon," they had already established a foundation of affection. Therefore, Wen Siling beckoned her over and asked her to stand next to her.

Ning Fusang didn't care where he stood. After rejoining the team, Yu Wanwu saw that everyone was present and then said, "I am Yu Wanwu. During the eight-month training period before the Five Continents Conference, I will lead everyone."

“Defending the arena is different from attacking it. The latter requires explosive power, while the former values ​​a cultivator’s resilience and endurance. Behind me, in the Sword Stone Forest, there are countless Sword Stone Golems of varying strengths, who will be your sparring partners in the future. Today, we will not have formal training. You will go directly into the Sword Stone Forest, kill the Sword Stone Golems, and get a feel for their strength.”

Wen Siling, Chi Leng, Liang Heng, and the others have been to Sword Stone Forest before. They have also tried their luck, and their records are still on the stone tablet.

Ning Fusang and several other disciples from other sects were visiting the Sword Stone Forest for the first time. Yu Wanwu used an elder's token, which allowed him to bring people in without deducting contribution points.

He placed his elder token into the groove, and with a loud "boom," the mountain wall seemed to be cleaved open by a divine axe, revealing a passage ten feet wide in the middle.

Instantly, a sharp and chilling sword wind swept over us.

After the sword wind subsided a bit, Ning Fusang and the others were able to see the scene in the Sword Stone Forest clearly.

The stone pillars stand tall, reaching into the clouds, like pillars of heaven, their number countless. After passing through the stone forest, a tall stone tablet comes into view. Many names are engraved on the tablet, divided into two parts by a horizontal line.

The list above shows those who have passed the test, including the names of some elders from the Southern Star Sword Sect. Among them are figures like Shen Hongxue, Duanmu Meiqing, and Yu Wanwu, all masters who have successfully navigated the Sword Stone Forest.

Below the horizontal line are the names of the people who participated in the challenge. The person ranked highest is named "Yang Tiaozhi", and the second place is Li Jinzhen.

Ruan Zongquan looked up at the stone tablet; many of the names were names he knew very well.

"Elder Yu, if we pass the test, will our names appear on this stone tablet?" Ruan Zongquan asked.

Yu Wanwu nodded.

However, Swordstone Forest is not so easy to pass. After each failure, you have to start from the beginning. You can't just get up from where you fell.

Yu Wanwu did not dampen everyone's enthusiasm; they would naturally understand this after venturing into the Sword Stone Forest a few more times.

Ruan Zongquan and Guan Zhuyin were working up a lot of energy.

Wen Siling felt a pang of sadness.

Chi Leng and Liang Heng secretly thought that it would be a waste not to take advantage of the free training in the Sword Stone Forest to clear the level. "Shall we have a competition?" Chi Leng transmitted his voice to Liang Heng.

Liang Heng smiled and replied, "Okay."

Let's see who can clear all the levels in Swordstone Forest first.

Yang Ruo didn't contribute many points, had only visited Sword Stone Forest twice, and his name wasn't even on the Sword Stone Tablet.

After the group passed the stone tablet, there was another stone gate behind it. After stepping inside, the sword-stone golem moved and quickly separated the group.

The sword energy, sharp as a knife, cut into Ning Fusang's skin, but with little effect. After body tempering, ordinary blades could hardly cause any harm.

Boom boom——

The sword-stone golem moved suddenly, making a sound, and swung its long sword at the enemy.

Ning Fusang touched the ground with her toes, spun around, stepped on a stone golem, summoned the Su'a sword, and swept it back, slashing at the head of the stone golem.

Sparks flew from Su'a's sword.

A crack appeared on the sword-stone golem's neck. It didn't react at all, gripping its long sword and slashing at Ning Fusang again.

Surprisingly, the sword-stone golem was incredibly heavy, yet its movements were anything but sluggish. With a stomp of its foot, it leaped high into the air, brandishing its long sword and slashing down fiercely!

Clang!
Ning Fusang's eyes flashed with sharpness. He leaned back to dodge the stone knife, then leaped into the air and flew straight behind the stone golem, sweeping out with his sword. But the stone golem's reaction was beyond his expectations. It swung its long sword diagonally and blocked the sword!
In the blink of an eye, several moves had been executed, and the longsword became pitted and uneven. Ning Fusang cleaved the sword-stone golem in two from the top of its head, and the golem crashed to the ground.

Ning Fusang had just taken a step when a gust of wind swept in from behind, and another ferocious stone golem, wielding a broad stone sword, came slashing down!
The stone golem was ten feet tall, and its face was carved perfunctorily. Since the nose, eyes, and mouth were of little use in combat, they were very blurry, or almost non-existent.

Its arms and weapons are depicted in great detail, so lifelike that they seem to be alive, and each slash and chop has the force of thunder.

Ning Fusang moved with agility, her sword flashing like a dragon, as she thrust towards the stone golem.

boom!
The stone golem's chest exploded, revealing a hole the size of a bowl. Through the hole, the wind from the swords rushed in.

She glanced casually and saw Wen Siling, not far away, swiftly behead a stone golem, then with a few more swift sword strokes, cut it into eight pieces, shake off the stone golem, and enter the second door.

Those who had prior experience with the challenges had generally progressed to the second or third level.

Ning Fusang withdrew his gaze, looked up at the stone golem in front of him, and flicked his long sword, unleashing a burst of crisscrossing sword energy that sliced ​​the stone golem into countless fragments.

White stone powder dispersed like mist.

Ning Fusang dealt with several stone golems and entered the second level. He had barely stepped halfway across the line when a stone hammer came hurtling towards him!
Without proper defenses, we would likely have been sent back to the first level.

Ning Fusang shattered the stone hammer, leaped up, and kicked the stone golem in the chest. The stone golem staggered backward, and Ning Fusang landed smoothly inside the stone gate, twirled her sword, and pierced the stone golem's abdomen.

The stone golem braced itself against the pillar behind it, using the momentum to charge forward. Its figure became a blur, and the stone hammer in its left hand slammed down!
A deep pit appeared in the ground. Ning Fusang moved aside and sliced ​​off the stone golem's feet with a single sword stroke.

The towering stone golem shrunk in size, its imposing presence and majesty diminished, and it charged wildly towards the challengers.

Ning Fusang was bumped, but with her current physique, she was not seriously injured. She immediately steadied herself and delivered a sword strike.
