The Demon Cultivator of the Sword

Chapter 10: The First Talented Disciple of the Outer Sect
Even at the eighth level of Qi training, many people were eliminated.

However, he had almost passed all the ninth levels of the Qi training realm.

After all, he is a sixth-rank sect disciple, and almost all of them have weak talents. Not to mention jumping levels, if he can't even beat a corpse refiner with a cultivation level similar to his own, then one would have to suspect whether he came in through the back door.

After a while, the first group of 100 people finished the test, and only 25 people passed. Almost all of these people had reached the ninth level of Qi training. There were very few people at the eighth level of Qi training.

Soon, the second set of tests was over, and even fewer people passed, only eighteen.

The third group, twenty people passed.

The fourth group had the largest number of people, 38 in total, including several outer disciples who had won the top ten in the last Mass Grave Trial.

Gu Yuan arrived late, so he was assigned to the 29th group at the back.

It seemed that because of his title of 'the most talented disciple in the outer sect', Gu Yuan's appearance attracted special attention.

Because they all wanted to know whether Gu Yuan, the 'first genius in the outer sect', really deserved the title or not.

As for the crowd's gaze, Gu Yuan chose to ignore it. At this moment, he focused all his attention on the tall martial zombie in front of him.

This was his first actual combat experience, so he didn't dare to be careless at all.

Of course, he would not expose his full strength in public.

The next moment, he performed the Phantom Step, and his figure appeared in Wu Jiang's arms like a ghost. He instantly drew out the Cold Eagle Sword from his waist with his right hand, and used the ninth move of the Piaoxue Sword Technique, 'Ice Crack', as a guide. With one slash of the sword, Wu Jiang's body and head were thrown into the air at the same time. The cut on his neck was as smooth as a mirror, and green blood spurted out, showing how sharp this sword was.

"Just as I guessed, the neck is the weak point of this martial zombie. However, this martial zombie seems to be even weaker than I thought. I only need to use the seventh move of the Piaoxue Sword Technique to kill it easily."

Gu Yuan began to have an idea of ​​his current strength.

At the same time, everyone's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.

"Damn, he actually killed a level one martial zombie in one second."

If Gu Yuan's cultivation was at the tenth level of Qi Training, they would not be too surprised. However, Gu Yuan's cultivation was only at the early ninth level of Qi Training, yet he had such strength.

This shows that Gu Yuan is not only a genius in cultivation, but also a genius in combat. With these two halos combined on him, he truly deserves the title of 'the first genius in the outer sect'.

Elder Li saw this scene, nodded secretly in his heart, and showed an expression of "as expected".

When the first round of tests were passed, he stood up and said, "A total of 792 people have passed and are entering the second round. Now all of them are entering the mass grave."

The mass grave is like a gourd, with a very narrow entrance that can only accommodate ten people entering side by side.

Once inside, the space suddenly opened up. There were ten irregular mud paths that were more than ten meters wide. Seven hundred and ninety-two people entered in batches, choosing different mud paths to enter one after another.

Swish!Swish!Swish!
The walls and the ground on both sides of the mud path chosen by Gu Yuan suddenly squirmed, and a group of martial zombies and zombie wolves jumped out from them.

These wolf-shaped corpses were made from the corpses of monsters when they were alive. Their strength was much greater than that of human-shaped corpses, equivalent to a warrior at the tenth level of the Qi training realm. They pounced on seven or eight people with their fangs and claws, and miserable howls rang out one after another.

Dodging the attack of a zombie wolf, Gu Yuan instantly unsheathed the Cold Eagle Sword at his waist. With a flick of his right wrist, the Cold Eagle Sword turned into a green sword shadow and slashed out diagonally, which was the starting move of the Nine Swords of Gale.

The next moment, the wolf head flew away, Gu Yuan lowered his body, and passed through it instantly.

"The corpse wolf is equivalent to a warrior in the early stage of the tenth level of Qi training. It's no wonder those people couldn't resist the surprise attack."

As they moved forward, the number of people decreased, from 70 to 80 to only 10 or so. Those who were eliminated were taken away for treatment by the deacon disciples who were watching them secretly.

At the same time, Gu Yuan finally knew why he was hailed as the so-called first genius of the outer sect. As everyone knows, among the many secret books, the exercises are the most difficult to practice.

Along the way, he discovered that most of the outer disciples who were traveling with him had only cultivated the top human-level skills to the fourth level, and very few had reached the fifth level.

Even those who have cultivated to the fifth level are still fourteen or fifteen years old and have already been in the Feitian Demon Sect for two or three years.

There are almost no people like him who can cultivate the top human-level skills to the sixth level in just four months.

Not to mention, he has also cultivated the top human-level swordsmanship and top human-level lightness skills to the highest level.

Relying on his skill in Qinggong, he quickly left behind the remaining dozen people.

Along the way, all the martial zombies and corpse wolves were unable to lock onto his body. Occasionally, one or two martial zombies or corpse wolves would block his way, but he would casually chop off their heads with a single sword. His momentum was unstoppable.

After a short while, he came to the end of the passage, where five muddy paths appeared again.

"It looks like no one has come yet. Of course, it does not rule out the possibility that there are people with extraordinary Qinggong skills."

Gu Yuan casually glanced at the muddy road without any trace under his feet, his feet flashed, his clothes fluttered, and his figure quickly disappeared into one of the passages, leaving no trace at the entrance.

The deeper they went, the more Gu Yuan could feel that there were more and more martial zombies and zombie wolves in the passage.

Even Gu Yuan couldn't avoid them all.

Fortunately, he still has the Nine Swords of Swift Wind.

The green sword shadow flickered, and wherever he passed, no matter whether it was a zombie wolf or a martial zombie, almost no one could be defeated by his sword.

But at the moment he walked out of the passage, a figure appeared in another passage. The figure was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a handsome face. His aura was obviously much stronger than that of an ordinary outer disciple of the tenth level of Qi training. The internal energy in his body was restrained and hidden, with a hint of true concentration.

"A warrior at the peak of the tenth level of Qi training."

Gu Yuan recognized the person, it was Lin Yang, the outer sect disciple who ranked first in the last mass grave. As early as the last mass grave trial, his cultivation had reached the peak of the tenth level of Qi training. It was rumored that he deliberately suppressed his realm in order to be able to directly learn the intermediate earth-level skills and martial arts after entering the inner sect.

Although situations like this are rare, they do exist.

After all, ordinary inner disciples can only learn low-level earth-level martial arts and techniques. If they want to rise quickly, the more advanced the martial arts, the better.

Lin Yang was slightly surprised when he saw Gu Yuan.

Beforehand, he had thought that Gu Yuan could be in the top ten, or even the top three, but definitely not first.

Because he was well prepared for this mass grave trial.

When others won the top three and chose low-level earth-level martial arts, he used the reward from the last trial to choose a low-level earth-level light skill.

The purpose is to win this reward.

Otherwise, he would have broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm and become an inner sect disciple half a month ago.

But Gu Yuan was able to keep up with his speed. So, even if the other party had not practiced the low-level earth-level lightness skills, he must have practiced the top-level human-level body skills to an extremely high level.

Otherwise it would be impossible to arrive at the same time as him.
