I'm only one year old, what the hell is the counterattack system?

Chapter 96: Sword Heart Clear (Subscription Request)

Inside the wing room, Chen Yi's mind was focused on Li Qingzhou's sword.

From the beginning to the sword soaring into the sky, and then to the sword energy soaring into the clouds, the sword splits the sky.

"Swordsmanship, sword intent, sword energy..."

Chen Yi recalled it over and over again in his mind, and every time he recalled it, he could discover a hint of mystery.

"Above the Great Perfection, the Sword Heart is Clear!"

Until the end, Chen Yi suddenly opened his eyes, took out a dream-building pill and threw it into his mouth, concentrating on swordsmanship.

The next moment, he found himself on a battlefield, a demonic battlefield just like the one that had "lasted a hundred years" when he had achieved perfection in the sword art.

In front of him was an endless army of demons.

Although they were of different shapes and expressions, they all revealed bloodthirsty grins when they looked at him.

Similarly, Chen Yi also laughed.

"The familiar feeling is back."

But this time, Chen Yi was no longer thinking about how to kill the demon, but was immersed in the flash of inspiration just now.

The so-called clear sword heart means to shape the heart with the sword, and to control the sword with the heart, so as to achieve "no sword in the hand, but a sword in the heart".

This is the realm above the perfection of swordsmanship that Chen Yi realized from his master Li Qingzhou's casual sword strike.

"Come!"

Thinking of this, Chen Yi faced the army of demons with a sneer on his face.

The sword art of killing, enhanced and amplified in the dream, enveloped the army of demons in front of him. Endless scarlet killing intent broke through the clouds.

"Roar--"

The demons seemed to be enraged by his provocation, and they rushed towards him roaring.

"kill--"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Yi actually threw the Spring Rain Sword in his hand.

Ding!
The Spring Rain Sword penetrated the dark red ground without any hindrance, leaving only the hilt exposed.

Chen Yi ignored it and stared at the army of demons, silently reciting his insights on the Great Sword Dao in his heart.

"The sword shapes the heart, the heart controls the sword, there is no sword in the hand, but there is a sword in the heart."

An unknown amount of time had passed before Chen Yi's thoughts formed into a voice and began to echo in this dream.

The voice was like his, but not his, as if a fairy from heaven was preaching to him.

The next moment, the Spring Rain Sword rose from the ground, and the sword body was no longer sharp and shining, but was surrounded by a vortex of scarlet sword intent.

Chen Yi was unaware of this, the demon figure was still in his pupils, and he uttered a word:

"cut!"

The sound is crisp and powerful.

Then the Spring Rain Sword turned into a scarlet sword shadow and shot out like a stream of light.

In the blink of an eye, it traveled a hundred miles and then circled back.

Chen Yi came back to his senses and looked at the Chunyu Sword hanging in front of him with a slight smile on his face.

"This is the realm of sword heart enlightenment!"

As the sound echoed in this dream world, all the demons within a hundred miles stopped running and then split into two.

Not until it turned into nothing and disappeared did the demons hundreds of miles away wake up and flee in panic.

Unlike the roars when they were charging, their roars as they fled were filled with deep fear.

"Hahaha... come on!"

Chen Yi became excited. While the Dream Building Pill was still effective, waves of demon armies appeared.

Then he was killed by Chunyu Sword one sword after another, as easily as cutting grass.

What he didn't know was that at this moment, a sword intent also appeared on Jianfeng Mountain in the outside world, and it soared into the sky.

The night sky above the entire Taixu Taoist Sect was dyed red, emitting a faint smell of blood and a fierce murderous intent.

In the dilapidated Taoist temple, Li Qingzhou stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the sword intent in the night sky, and couldn't help laughing.

"The sword's heart is clear, the sword's heart is clear."

"He has already raised his swordsmanship to such a level in Tianyuan Continent. If he were to reach the battlefield of Mount Taizhou..."

"Maybe he can go straight into the divine power!"

Li Qingzhou knew how terrifying a swordsman who had cultivated the sword art to the level of supernatural power could be.

That is a top-notch combat force like him, capable of guarding a pass alone.

At this time, several people who noticed something unusual in Jianfeng Mountain came over. Xiao Huang looked at the sword intent and asked in surprise and joy:

"Junior brother, who are the people there?"

Without waiting for Li Qingzhou to answer, Gu Tiangang, who came with him, showed a change of expression and asked, "Could it be Chen Yi?"

"It's him." Li Qingzhou nodded and said with a smile: "His swordsmanship has improved further and has reached the realm of sword heart enlightenment."

After saying this, he waved his hand to wipe away the scarlet sword intent above Jianfeng Mountain to prevent more people from seeing it.

"Chen Yi?"

Xiao Huang laughed out loud and said yes repeatedly.

In this way, their Taixu Dao Sect will definitely have a seed to break into that gambling fight.

Sun Daofu and Pang Kuan, however, could not smile as their faces looked too good.

"Brother Qingzhou, can we have a discussion?"

Li Qingzhou looked at the two of them, "Brother, please speak?"

"Can Junior Brother Chen Yi be allowed to withdraw from this sect examination?" Sun Daofu said with a wry smile.

The burly Pang Kuan nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"Junior brother, with Junior Brother Chen Yi's sword skills, it would be too much of a bully for other peaks if he were to participate in the sect's small examination."

"How about giving him a quota and letting him directly participate in the subsequent selections of the various sects of the Wei Dynasty and the Tianyuan Continent?"

Li Qingzhou looked at Xiao Huang and saw him nod in agreement, so he smiled and said, "I'll ask him what he thinks later."

"What? You can't make the decision on this matter?" Sun Daofu couldn't help but get anxious when he heard that he seemed to be shirking his responsibility.

Li Qingzhou shook his head and turned to look at the room where Chen Yi was.

"It's not that I can't, but that I don't want to."

"I hope the two brothers will forgive me."

Sun Daofu and Pang Kuan had never been to the Taizhou Mountain battlefield, so they had no idea how important the seed of a sword master was.

Not to mention him, even Xiao Huang, the leader of Taixu Taoist Sect, would not make decisions for Chen Yi without authorization.

……

It was a big dream that lasted for five days.

Chen Yi just woke up.

He looked at the familiar room and the Chunyu Sword that had appeared in front of him without him noticing, and couldn't help but laugh.

“It feels great to be promoted through my own efforts.”

Although Chen Yi had a similar feeling when he broke through his cultivation level before, this time it was different.

This time he made a major breakthrough in swordsmanship, which was the first time since he obtained the panel at the age of one.

After twelve years of hard practice without a single day of slacking, he finally got what he wanted.

Outsiders cannot even imagine the hardships and struggles involved.

Chen Yi waved his hand and grasped the Spring Rain Sword, and a feeling of spiritual connection quietly emerged in his heart.

Then he called up the panel to check it out.

【Name: Chen Yi】

【Age: 45】

[Cultivation: Fifth-grade Baodan realm (middle stage)]

[Talent: Late bloomer - the older the bone age, the faster the cultivation speed. ]

[Nine-turn Xuan Gang Jue: Great Accomplishment - Dantian shines like the bright moon, Xuan Gang shines like thunder.]

[Kendo: Tongyou - The sword heart is clear, and the sword is controlled by the heart, until the heart and sword become one, then the seeds of supernatural power can be nurtured. ]

【Counterattack Points: 39/100】

"The sword path reaches the realm of the dark, not the realm of the sword heart reaching the realm of the bright?"

Chen Yi carefully looked at the description on the panel and whispered thoughtfully: "Master is right. This is indeed the sword heart is clear."

However, the panel should give the direction of progress in this realm.

"The sword's heart is clear and the mind controls the sword" is only the first stage.

The second stage is "heart and sword integration", and then the third stage is "nurturing the seeds of magical power."

"In other words, above the Tongyou realm, there are magical powers? Sword magical powers?"

Chen Yi thought for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face.

After understanding the direction of the sword, he began to have some expectations for the realm of supernatural powers that he had guessed in his mind.

“Whether it is a magical power or not, we will know once we reach the next level.”

After figuring this out, Chen Yi stood up and stretched his muscles. He felt his body and mind more relaxed than ever before.

This upgrade was different from the previous rewards he received from the panel. He no longer needed to consolidate and absorb the kendo experience.

"What comes from outside is always outside. It must be cultivated to transform it into one's own strength."

Chen Yi thought to himself, hung the Spring Rain Sword around his waist, pushed the door and walked out of the room.

At this time, the sky had just begun to brighten, and there was no sound in the adjacent rooms. Only a few outer disciples were sweeping snow in the yard.

Only then did Chen Yi notice that Jianfeng Mountain was covered with a thick layer of snow, and he didn't know when it fell.

In his impression, only one night had passed after he used the Dream Building Pill.

At this moment, a voice came to his ears: "Come to me."

Li Qingzhou?
Chen Yi didn't know where he was, so he just nodded.

Ever since his cultivation level was raised to the Baodan realm, he immediately learned the practical "art of sound transmission".

After he learned it, he understood that the so-called "sound transmission" was formed by relying on the fluctuations of the true essence in the body, that is, the Xuan Gang Qi.

It was not as he had previously guessed, that his thoughts were reflected in other people's hearts.

Not long after, Chen Yi arrived at the Taoist temple behind Jianfeng Mountain and pushed the door open and walked in.

He glanced around, and everything in the Taoist temple changed in his eyes. There was sword energy in the cracks of the bluestone slabs on the ground, sword energy hidden in the weeds, and there was also terrifying sword energy on the thatched cottage.

No wonder Senior Sister Ning Xue said earlier that this Taoist temple is the most heavily guarded place in the entire Jianfeng Mountain.

"Come in." Li Qingzhou urged.

Chen Yi walked into the main hall and saw his back, as well as the portrait of the founder Mu Qing hanging on the wall.

"Master." Chen Yi bowed.

Li Qingzhou hummed, bowed three times to the portrait, and then turned to look at him.

Li Qingzhou looked at him for a few times and asked, "After reaching the realm of sword heart enlightenment, is there anything you don't understand?"

Chen Yi was startled and asked in surprise: "Master already knows?"

"nature."

Li Qingzhou smiled, guessing that he was still unaware of the anomalies that had occurred in Jianfeng Mountain before.

"That day when your sword broke the mirror, your sword intent soared into the sky."

"So not only your master, but also your uncles and uncles know about it."

"..."

Chen Yi was speechless, thinking that he had wanted to keep it a secret before.

Why would he keep it a secret when the elders in the sect already knew about it?

Li Qingzhou smiled and said, "There is no need to worry in the sect. The sect master has already told those who know about it to keep it a secret."

Chen Yi nodded sullenly, thinking of Li Qingzhou's previous question, and pondered: "My disciple has just made a breakthrough and has not encountered any problems yet."

There's none?
Li Qingzhou recalled the unreal feeling he had when he broke through into the realm of Sword Heart Enlightenment on the Taizhou Mountain battlefield a long time ago, and a trace of doubt flashed through his mind.

Is this the difference between a sword-wielding genius and him, the ultimate sword-wielding master?

"It's fine if you don't."

"Your swordsmanship has already taken shape. I have no other inheritance to teach you."

"This is my understanding of the way of the sword, for your reference."

Kendo understanding?

nice one!
Chen Yi quickly took it and put it into his Sumeru bag.

Sure enough, the panel appeared quietly in front of him, and a line of large golden characters flashed by.

[At the age of 45, you have already reached the fifth level of Baodan realm and have mastered the sword art. You have obtained the true sword art from a master of the heavenly realm. ]

【Good luck, counterattack points +10. 】

Chen Yi smiled and bowed, "Master, do you have anything else you can pass on to your disciple?"

"It doesn't matter if it's not kendo."

Li Qingzhou didn't think about it and said thoughtfully: "What do you want?"

"Medicine, self-defense items, even if it's gold..."

Chen Yi almost mentioned money and vulgar things, but he changed the subject quickly and said, "As long as it is something that a disciple can use, it will be fine."

He finally found an opportunity to "get lucky", so he should get as much as he can, right?

And now that his swordsmanship has successfully broken through to the Tongyou realm, it is time to accumulate counterattack points to improve his strength as quickly as possible.

After all, judging from what Li Qingzhou said a few days ago, there were other major events happening after the sect's small test.

It would be a good thing if he was stronger.

"I'll give it to you after I think about it."

As he spoke, Li Qingzhou thought of the proposal made by Sun Daofu and Pang Kuan a few days ago, so he told Chen Yi about it and asked for his opinion.

"I listen to Master."

Chen Yi has always held a nonchalant attitude towards the sect's small examination.

He didn't want to participate before, but now that he has made a breakthrough in swordsmanship, there is naturally no need for him to participate.

What's more, he can get the deserved rewards even if he doesn't participate in the sect's small examination, so why should he participate?

"Then I'll agree to it for you," Li Qingzhou nodded and said, "I'll send a message to Senior Brother Xiao and the others later."

"okay."

"Master, if you have nothing else to do, I will take my leave first."

After saying that, Chen Yi turned and left.

Having gotten all the benefits, he left in a very cool manner.

Li Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, looking at Chen Yi's back, with a strange expression on his face.

He even scratched his head and muttered, "It's rare that I have time to teach kendo."

When other disciples were summoned by him, they were either very nervous or asked questions to get some advice.

Only the disciple Chen Yi did not ask anything about the way of the sword, but was interested in material things.

This situation really made Li Qingzhou a little puzzled.

"This must be the difference between a sword wizard and a top genius..."

……

A month later, Chen Yi suddenly found that he had become the person with the most free time.

Everyone on Jianfeng Mountain seemed to be full of energy, practicing swordsmanship and cultivating their skills.

Even Hua Youxiang and Li Mingyue, who would occasionally sneak down the mountain to play, followed Ning Xue obediently.

Originally, Chen Yi wanted to help and give them some pointers on their sword skills.

But I don’t know what’s wrong with Zhan Hongxiu. During this period of time, she has been very caring towards all the fellow brothers and sisters on the mountain.

Not only did Zhan Hongxiu teach them kendo before him, she also took the initiative to take on the role of "sparring partner" and taught them moves.

In addition to these, Chen Yi also discovered that this senior sister had not drunk alcohol for a long time.

"No, something is very wrong."

That day, Chen Yi quietly found Mr. Ning and asked her if she had noticed anything unusual about Zhan Hongxiu.

"Found it." Ning Xue lowered her head slightly and said softly, "Senior Sister said that she will be coming down the mountain soon."

"What's wrong with this?"

Chen Yi was stunned. Zhan Hongxiu would receive missions from the Monster Catching Hall every once in a while, so it was normal for her to go down the mountain to carry out the missions.

"She said it might take a long time for her to come back, or she might not come back at all."

"Can't come back?"

Chen Yi reacted and thought of the Taizhou Mountain battlefield that Zhan Hongxiu had mentioned before, and he suddenly understood something.

So, the eldest sister received a call to the Taizhou Mountain battlefield?
Thinking of this, Chen Yi looked at Ning Xue and asked, "Senior Sister, how far are you from the third level?"

During the past ten years, Ning Xue's progress has also been quite rapid.

Not only has his cultivation level risen to the upper stage of the fourth level of the spiritual realm, his swordsmanship has also reached perfection, the only thing missing is the perfection of sword intent.

If she could make a breakthrough within these two years, she would probably be called up to the Taizhou Mountain battlefield like Zhan Hongxiu.

"It should be soon." Ning Xue pursed her lips, with a worried look on her face, and said, "This time, not only Senior Sister, but Senior Brother Lu should also leave."

"Brother Lu Cheng?"

Chen Yi recalled that he had seen in the “Heavenly Rankings·Heavenly Rankings” before that his second senior brother Lu Cheng’s cultivation had also reached the third-grade Tianhe realm.

It’s just that because Lu Cheng had been traveling in the mountains and had not returned, he had never seen it.

"So, the brothers and sisters will be back in the mountains soon?"

"They should, except that Senior Sister and Second Brother are going on a long journey." Ning Xue thought for a moment and said, "They should come back to watch this sect exam."

Chen Yi nodded, and understood the reason behind Zhan Hongxiu's recent changes.

She was worried that she wouldn't be able to come back after going to the Taizhou Mountain battlefield...

In the next few days, Chen Yi did not appear on Jianfeng Mountain. He either went to Danfeng Mountain or to Linxun Peak.

From time to time he would go to the inn outside the sect.

However, right now in Taixu Taoist Sect, most people are busy preparing for the sect's small examination, and no one pays much attention to his whereabouts.

Occasionally, when someone mentioned Chen Yi, they would just show an envious look and say that Brother Chen Yi's strength was too incredible.

After all, the news that Chen Yi was restricted from participating in the small examination by the sect because of his strong strength had spread.

This caused an uproar among the disciples of various peaks at that time.

Some said that the sect was biased, some said that Chen Yi was too strong, and some curious people went to ask their own headmaster.

Although no specific answers were given, everyone knew there was no shady inside story.

Even so, the disciples from various peaks still had some complaints about the preferential treatment Chen Yi received.

For example, Xiao Xuanzhen, who was determined to have a good fight with Chen Yi.

She was the first person to inquire after learning about this.

And the person she was looking for was none other than her father, Xiao Huang, the leader of the Taixu Taoist Sect.

Needless to say, the result was that he ran over angrily and walked out in a daze, muttering to himself.

He looked completely lost.

"The bad guy's swordsmanship has broken through."

Xiao Xuanzhen suffered a huge blow in her heart. She had worked so hard for so long, but two of the Eight Taixu Techniques had not yet reached the great perfection realm.

As a result, before she could go to challenge him, Chen Yi's swordsmanship, which had not improved in ten years, improved significantly.

"Bad guy, bad guy, why didn't he wait for me?"

Without mentioning the discussions on the various peaks of the mountain, after being busy for a few days, Chen Yi also found Sun Zhengqiu, whom he had not seen for a long time, and gave him a few words.

"Sir, are you sure you want to spend it all?"

Chen Yi glared at him unhappily, "Stop talking nonsense and do as I say."

As time went by, he and Sun Zhengqiu had known each other for more than ten years.

It’s more like a relationship between friends than a relationship between superiors and subordinates.

However, in order to maintain his status, Chen Yi would occasionally knock him a few times so that Sun Zhengqiu would not become complacent.

"Then I will go to Jeju Prefecture to buy it."

After Sun Zhengqiu agreed, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he took out a letter from his arms and said:

"Sir, I have something else to report..."
