Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest

Chapter 97 Choosing a Sword

After the commendation meeting, Yan Yu and the girls did not leave, but went to the principal's office.

Let’s see what the second edition of the textbook mentioned by Instructor Qi Changping looks like.

The name of the textbook is "Professional System and Basic Tactics", which introduces the basic concept of the "Magic Sword Assistant" profession and how to use sword-wielding techniques.

When it comes to sword control, we have to mention the woman that Zhao Yuanzhen is obsessed with, hates, and fears:

Mei Yingxue.

The stunning fairy Mei Yingxue has not been heard from since she went to Pingjing, and Yan Yu has no idea what she is doing.

Of course, judging from the memories of the previous life, Mei Yingxue did disappear mysteriously in the early period.

It was not until most of the first-generation cultivators such as Li Minghu, Zhou Hongyu, Su Yunjin... were sacrificed and the national defense situation became increasingly difficult to sustain that she was used as a trump card by the upper echelons of the Lu State.

Now, the mystery that troubled Yan Yu has finally been solved:
Mei Yingxue is compiling teaching materials.

In the book "Professional System and Basic Tactics", "Magic Sword Assistant" does exist in the world of cultivation, but it is a system of knowledge that has never been systematically classified, while sword-wielding skills are a "compulsory subject" that everyone knows.

The reason is simple: sword-controlling techniques are widely applicable, but the energy consumption is very small.

Unlike various Taoist methods that consume huge amounts of true energy, the true energy consumption of sword-controlling techniques is similar to that of the Metal Charge Curse, but not only is its power far greater than the Charge Curse, but it can also be used for defense in addition to offense, and its usage is extremely flexible.

For example, if a tree demon hits you with its roots, or a ghost scratches you with its claws, you just need to recall the magic sword in front of you and then block it physically - this saves a lot of energy compared to the Kai Tu Xing Xiang Curse.

Of course, everyone can master the basics of swordsmanship. As for advanced sword techniques, they are "graduate student topics" studied only by sword immortals.

Yan Yu flipped through the "Professional System and Basic Tactics" for a long time and confirmed that it was indeed the basic sword-wielding technique, without any trace of the sword techniques of other schools.

Or to be more precise, Mei Yingxue specifically eliminated all the profound and school-related advanced sword moves from her sword techniques and combat methods, retaining only the most basic and original sword techniques. Finally, she compiled this "Sword Control Textbook" that is suitable for newcomers with no basic skills and allows all cultivators to learn with confidence.

This is truly touching, Teacher Mei! Your contributions to Luguo's cultivation education are truly immense. We will never forget you!

Yan Yu finished complaining in his heart and suggested to Li Weiguo:

"I have no objection. If I must, wouldn't it be more in line with the principle of starting from easy to difficult if the order of the two sections were reversed, explaining the sword control technique first and then introducing the magic sword assistant?"

"So the title of the book should be changed to "Basic Tactics and Career System", right?" Li Weiguo pondered.

"That's right." Yan Yu nodded and said, "Teaching sword control is the top priority. It can quickly improve the average combat power of the monks. The magic sword assistant belongs to the macro system concept. It's not too late to learn about it slowly in the future."

"Actually, the reason we put sword control at the end is mainly because of the supply of immortal swords," Li Weiguo said slowly. "Since we're going to teach sword control in the next phase, at least the teacher and students should each have a flying sword in hand before we can actually teach them, right?"

"If you hadn't conquered the Longquan Mountain Secret Realm and obtained a large number of swordsmithing manuals, we wouldn't have planned to release this edition of the textbook right away. The reason we put sword control techniques in the latter half of the textbook is because we're considering developing the swordsmithing industry from now on. By the time we actually start teaching, we can at least have the flying swords you need."

"I understand." Yan Yu said calmly, "There are over a hundred undergraduate monks in our school, and if you include the other three academies, the total number is over four hundred. It's really hard to get the flying swords we need. But there are only five of us in our team. How about giving us the flying swords in stock so we can practice in advance?"

"You're quite good at taking advantage of opportunities!" Li Weiguo said with a smile, "Of course. Most of the flying swords in our inventory now come from the Longquan Mountain Secret Realm you just conquered. Let's just say you have priority in challenging for the spoils!"

He worked on the computer for a while, then stood up and said:

"Take a look."

Everyone hurried over to take a look. Yan Yu took a seat on the principal's office chair, holding the mouse and said:
"I've already chosen Lin Ning's flying sword. It's the Green Bamboo Sword that was wielded by the sword-wielding puppet guarding the gate in the Wuyi Mountain Secret Realm. As for the others, you can choose yourselves."

"You guys were giving it away privately, weren't you?" Chen Lingyun joked. "No way!" Lin Ning said angrily, "I didn't know about it beforehand!"

But she had no intention of resisting Yan Yu, and just stood at the back of the crowd and watched.

The captain picked it for me personally... Huh, it should be pretty good, right?
"I want this one!" Zhao Yuanzhen suddenly said, "Don't fight with me!"

Yan Yu looked closely and saw that the sword was purple and black all over, with an evil outline. There was a relief of a skull head on the hilt of the sword, which obviously fits the aesthetic taste of the evil witch - the other girls shook their heads when they saw it, and no one wanted to compete with her.

He seemed to have some impression in his memory from his previous life that the original name of this sword was later researched to be... "Ten Thousand Ghosts Evil Spirit Sword"?

It is said that whenever this sword whistles, it will make a weeping and wailing sound, so no monks in the past chose it. Everyone thinks that its style is too "love-burying" and it is the type that only "countryside killers" would like.

Later, this sword became widely known to the public after it was featured on CCTV Channel 7's "Xianjianpu" program.

After selecting the Ten Thousand Demonic Sword, Yan Yu continued to scroll the screen and asked:

"Anyone else want anything?"

"Let me take a look at this one." Chen Lingyun suddenly said, "Well, I'll choose this one."

Yan Yu clicked the mouse to select it, and saw that she had chosen a slender flying sword, which was purple-red like the sunset, and its streamlines were extremely elegant, just like an imperial princess among swords, graceful and luxurious.

The Purple Extreme Hanyuan Sword was also chosen by Chen Lingyun in her previous life. This woman's aesthetic taste remains as stable as ever.

"Yunjin, do you want me to choose for you?" Seeing that Su Yunjin was hesitant to make up her mind, Chen Lingyun asked with a smile.

"Well... okay then." Su Yunjin was not actually very interested in the attributes of the flying sword. Instead, she cared more about its appearance and shape. However, she felt that it was unwise to "judge a sword by its appearance", so she could not make a decision.

"What do you choose? Let me do it!" Yan Yu simply copied his experience from his previous life, "This one, how about it?"

The sword was as blue and clear as the sea, and the edge of the sword was slightly transparent, like crystal clear ice. Su Yunjin liked it at first sight and immediately nodded and said:
"Well, I'll listen to the captain."

The name of the sword is "Ice Prison Cold", and the original name is very majestic and domineering. It is also the flying sword chosen by Su Yunjin himself in the previous life.

Initially unaware of the sword's name, Su Yunjin dubbed it "Coral Tears." Even after historical research confirmed the original name, media and netizens generally switched to using the original (mainly because "Ice Prison Cold" sounded more imposing and powerful, while "Coral Tears" sounded a bit effeminate), and she herself remained unwilling to change her name.

After Su Yunjin's death, the sword was enshrined in the National Martyrs' Sword Museum, and the name "Coral Tears" was used on the sign.

After all, it is Su Yunjin's sword.

"Captain, what about you?" Everyone else's flying swords were settled, leaving only Yan Yu as the only one who hadn't made a choice. Lin Ning, who was standing at the back, looked up and asked curiously.

"I'll just pick one at random." Yan Yu said "at random", but the mouse wheel did not stop at all, and quickly slid to a place and stopped.

This was the flying sword that Chen Lingyun personally selected for him in his previous life, and it was also the sword he used for most of his life.

The sword's spine is thick and dark yellow in color. Unlike those thin and long flying swords, this is a heavy sword that is very suitable for strong men.

With its extremely thick sword body, it often has the advantage in flying sword duels.

Long time no see, old buddy.

Huangting Kunwu Sword.
