Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Although the conversation between Li Ye and Zhong Hui was brief, a few words were heard by the other disciples who gathered around.

Although Li Ye's response was very casual, Zhong Hui's smiling words were full of gunpowder.

They are all sword cultivators. Even though their achievements in the way of the sword vary, most of them have a keen sense of malice.

Zhong Hui's malice is almost undisguised, and it is difficult for others not to notice it.

Some people immediately looked over and showed considerable interest.

I thought that if these two people were really scheduled to play in the same show, it would be quite exciting to watch.

"Although I have never seen this junior brother, I do recognize Zhong Hui..."

"He's a member of the Zhong family. The sword he carries on his back is of good quality. Combined with the Blazing Sword Technique he's practicing, it's quite powerful..."

"This junior brother doesn't seem to be carrying any sword, and looks quite poor... Yet he comes here to fight with swords like this, perhaps intending to bring that firewood stick with him?"

The other disciples looked at Li Ye and were a little confused when they saw his leisurely look.

He doesn't look confident at all. How can he be so calm after being provoked by Zhong Hui?

Humph! You're just bluffing. I wonder if you can still smile when you get on stage!
Zhong Hui observed Li Ye and became increasingly unhappy with his nonchalant look.

dong dong dong!dong dong dong!
The bell rang six times, and the Jade Sword Elder of the sect personally announced the start of the sword fight. The innate deacons from each mountain took their positions, and many deacon disciples came to the arena.

Amid his shouts, the disciples went up to the stage one after another.

In an instant, the hilltops became hot and the sound of swords clashing spread quickly in all directions.

Those who defeat their opponents quickly enough can even begin to decide the winner and advance to the next level!

"Cheng Linjue is indeed well-known. He forced his opponent back with just one sword strike. He is only in his twenties, but his cultivation has reached the eighth level of Ju Yuan. He may even break through to Xiantian before he turns thirty!"

"And Mu Yiyao... she wielded her brocade-soft sword like waves. With just a few ripples, the flying sword of the disciple opposite her was swept away. She was still immersed in that gentleness, unable to recover..."

"I think Ban Luofeng is also domineering..."

A group of disciples were talking about the disciples from other mountains who had quickly defeated their enemies and stood out. Li Ye joined the crowd and listened with great interest.

However, as for the new cultivators just mentioned, their respective skills are obviously not accessible to ordinary disciples.

Its characteristics basically do not match the many sword-fighting classics that Li Ye saw in the library when he joined the sect and could be exchanged.

He probably either has family support behind him, or he was spotted by the elders very early on. His foundation is far superior to others, and combined with his own qualifications, he is naturally one step ahead of others.

Li Ye listened and was quite interested in their martial arts, but he was even more interested in the Jiuxiao Sword Manual.

This sword technique can actually integrate so many classics with different styles and can be practiced smoothly. The principles of swordsmanship must be quite exquisite.

"Once you reach the Xiantian stage, you can start considering making your mark and making plans..."

He thought silently, "Should I start with spiritual plants, alchemy, or my own aptitude and combat power?"

Even though he could steadily improve his advantages by sowing on a large scale, Li Ye was not planning to stay in the spiritual medicine garden forever.

After gaining a certain degree of self-protection power, it is time to show off some abilities in order to gain more benefits and make breakthroughs in one's cultivation.

If he really wants to break through from Qi training to Nascent Soul stage steadily, even though I am currently in the period of steady digestion and cultivation after the war, I don't have that much time to waste on it.

Now that this clone has been sent out, it's natural to see the return as soon as possible!
Just as Li Ye was thinking, he heard the deacon disciple shout, "A-fifteen, hurry up and get on stage!"

Jiawu is the number chosen by Li Ye.

He turned around and saw Zhong Hui smiling at him from the other side, then he jumped onto the stage first.

Immediately, some disciples who still remembered the brief conflict just now looked at Li Ye.

Did this guy really do something to put us together? Li Ye, expressionless, also jumped onto the stage.

All of a sudden, smiles appeared on the faces of some people who were waiting to watch the show.

Zhong Hui also had a big smile on his face.

"I didn't expect to bump into you, Junior Brother Li. This is truly a great fate!"

He glanced at the wooden stick in Li Ye's hand:
"I just didn't expect that you, Junior Brother, don't even have a flying sword, but you went on stage with only a wooden stick. This is really..."

"Don't worry, Junior Brother. I will be very careful with my actions and won't hurt you too badly!"

"You talk too much nonsense..."

Li Ye shook his head.

Zhong Hui was stunned, almost thinking that he had heard wrongly.
"What did you say?"

I realized belatedly that this guy dared to speak to me like this. He really wanted to die!
The other disciples watching the battle had even more strange expressions.

This guy just brought a wooden stick with him. Even if it was made of ironwood spiritual material, how could it compare with a real flying sword?
With such behavior, does he really think that he can be safe as long as the rules of sword fighting are there?

"Both parties, take your positions, the sword fight begins!"

At the right moment, the deacon disciple announced that the sound would begin.

"Junior Brother Li, I don't blame you for your bad attitude, but in this sword fight, there's no retreat, so don't blame me for being ruthless with my flying sword!"

Zhong Hui, who had been unable to contain himself any longer, let out a low roar, and the flying sword on his back suddenly came out of its sheath. When it combined with his sword techniques, a raging flame rose up.

The hot and sharp sword energy surged and stabbed forward in an instant.

Li Ye casually threw the long stick in his hand.

Under the stunned gazes of the disciples, a sapphire sword light condensed on the long staff, and the "sword body" trembled, splitting into four sword shadows.

Whoosh whoosh—

Four sapphire sword shadows suddenly appeared and crashed directly into the blazing flying sword without any skill, defeating most of its attack.

The blazing sword edge suddenly slowed down.

And at this moment, Li Ye rushed out.

He dodged the blazing sword edge, which still had some power left, a little awkwardly, and his hair was slightly set on fire.

However, he managed to catch the ironwood staff that neutralized the attack of the blazing flying sword, and rolled over before rushing in front of Zhong Hui.

The flying sword's attack is advantageous in its sharpness and speed.

But the previous attack was roughly blocked by Li Ye, and all the remaining strength was exhausted after the strike missed.

Even if Zhong Hui wanted to recall the flying sword, there was only a moment of gap.

However, he had been contemptuous of Li Ye from the very beginning, thinking that he could kill him with one sword, and he didn't even use his shield!

At this time, Li Ye was pressing forward, and it was too late to cast another spell!
A kick landed on Zhong Hui, whose eyes were about to burst, interrupting his dodging. Li Ye swung his long stick with great force and swung it out fiercely.

The sharp edge of the lapis lazuli on the long staff has dissipated, leaving only its heavy and solid characteristics.

boom!
With a dull thud, Zhong Hui, who was hit on the head by a stick, had a distorted expression, his teeth popped out of his mouth, and flew out.

He fell straight to the ground and fainted on the spot. (End of this chapter)
