The Demon Cultivator of the Sword

Chapter 15 Artistic Conception
"What? Are you scared?" Taoist Black Crow sneered at everyone. "You are the most outstanding talents of the younger generation of the Black Dragon Empire. The skills and martial arts you practice are far beyond those of ordinary warriors in the Condensation Realm. If you are afraid of even a mere scorpion-tailed demon wolf, then don't go out to wander the world. You must know that the most terrifying thing in the world is not the monsters, but the human heart. It is a hundred times more terrifying than the monsters."

Gu Yuan did not intend to be the last to appear. He took out the Frost Eagle Sword from his storage spirit ring and put it on his waist, then said, "Elder, I'll go first."

Taoist Black Crow still admired Gu Yuan very much, and smiled, "Gu Yuan, I remember that you won the first place in the last mass grave trial. If you can defeat the scorpion-tailed demon wolf within one stick of incense, I can make the decision and let you choose an additional mid-level earth-level martial art."

The Star Realm elders of a sixth-grade sect still have great power. As long as any disciple is favored by them, they can be taught mid-level earth-level martial arts as an exception.

Of course, people would not sit around doing nothing after eating and use their privileges for no reason unless they are good enough.

Even if he teaches you the mid-level earth-level martial arts, it will only bring shame upon you.

Only the first disciple and core disciples of the inner sect, or the direct disciples of an elder in the Star Realm, are qualified to practice the high-level martial arts.

As for the top-level earth-level martial arts, they can only be learned with the approval of the sect master and the core elders.

People like this are often trained to become powerful people in the Spiritual Sea Realm.

"it is good."

Gu Yuan was delighted and jumped down as he was told, looking towards the scorpion-tailed demon wolf.

"The assessment begins." Taoist Black Crow released his suppression of the Scorpion-tailed Demon Wolf.

Ouch!

The scorpion-tailed demon wolf roared towards the sky, and a gray-black demonic aura rose from its body. The thick demonic aura wrapped it tightly, leaving only two blood-red ferocious eyes exposed. Then it bent down and pounced forward suddenly, flying towards Gu Yuan with terrible deterrence, wanting to tear him to pieces.

At this time, Gu Yuan's sword was unsheathed. The sword body could not be seen, only a faint sword light flashed across and disappeared.

The scorpion-tailed demon wolf instinctively sensed the danger and let out a roar. Grayish-white demonic energy rose into the sky and transformed into a claw, tearing through the void.

The sword light was as fast as the wind, invisible and formless. Although the scorpion-tailed demon wolf's gathered claws tore the sword light into pieces at once, the next moment, the sword light gathered again and slashed towards the opponent's neck.

boom!
The protective demonic energy was shattered, and the huge body of the scorpion-tailed demon wolf suddenly fell down. A hideous and terrifying sword mark appeared on its neck, and its limbs were twitching.

Kill the scorpion-tailed wolf instantly with one sword.

hiss!
The people watching the game gasped and looked at each other in astonishment.

“It’s that move!” Lin Yang immediately recognized the Nine Swords of Gale that Gu Yuan had used on him before, but compared to the Nine Swords of Gale performed by a Qi Training Realm Level 9 cultivator, the power of the current Nine Swords of Gale was obviously more than ten times greater.

If he faced this move again, he would definitely not be able to block it even if he was prepared.

“It’s actually the artistic conception of wind.”

The eyesight of Taoist Black Crow is naturally not comparable to that of Lin Yang and other Nascent Soul Realm warriors. He instantly saw the purpose of Gu Yuan's move.

"Elder, what is the artistic conception of wind?"

Among the disciples who took part in the assessment, the only warrior in the middle stage of Condensation Realm asked respectfully.

"Human-level martial arts emphasize momentum and have very little artistic conception. Earth-level martial arts cannot reach the peak without artistic conception. It is incredible that Gu Yuan was able to comprehend the artistic conception of wind in the top-level human-level martial arts."

At this moment, Taoist Black Crow couldn't help but feel a desire to admire his talent. If Gu Yuan hadn't specialized in swordsmanship, he would have wanted to accept him as his disciple and teach him the Black Crow technique.

After killing the Scorpion-Tailed Demon Wolf, Gu Yuan used the Phantom Step and could clearly feel that the expressions of the people looking at him had changed a lot. Although he had the title of the first genius of the outer sect in the past, he was only an outer sect disciple after all, and was still an insignificant existence in the inner sect. Now that he was practicing human-level martial arts, if the news of his comprehension of the artistic conception spread, he would definitely have a certain reputation in the inner sect, and thus attract the attention of the high-level leaders of the Feitian Demon Sect.

No, maybe he has already been noticed.

"Gu Yuan, you passed the test. Congratulations on becoming an inner disciple of the Feitian Demon Sect. This is the token to enter the third floor of the Martial Arts Pavilion. You can use it to freely choose a local intermediate secret book on the third floor."

Taoist Black Crow casually handed over a token, then made a light pull with his right hand, and the body of the scorpion-tailed demon wolf was grabbed by an invisible big hand and thrown aside. The deacon disciple would clean it up later.

"Thank you, elder."

Gu Yuan thanked him and put away the token. Now, he was one step closer to his goal. Next, he would be eligible to learn the earth-level intermediate martial arts and earth-level intermediate skills. In the future, he would be able to accept sect missions and travel the world like other inner disciples to enhance his strength.

The second person to take the test was Lin Yang. Thanks to Gu Yuan for defeating the scorpion-tailed demon wolf, his opponent was also a third-level demon beast, the Silver Electric Demon Bull, which was equivalent to the middle stage of the Condensation Realm.

But its strength is much inferior to that of the Scorpion-tailed Demon Wolf.

Using his own low-level earth-level light skills, Lin Yang fought steadily and fought with the silver-lightning demon bull for a while. Soon, after an incense stick of time, he passed the test.

Then came the disciple in the middle stage of the Condensation Realm. After defeating another level three monster, the Thorn Wolf, whose strength was not inferior to that of the Silver Lightning Demon Bull, he became an inner disciple.

But the slight difference is that he did not get the appreciation of Taoist Black Crow.

Because compared to the others, he was obviously much older, already 17 years old. Even if he became an inner disciple, he would not be too outstanding.

Not to mention compared with the thirteen-year-old Gu Yuan, even compared with the fifteen-year-old Lin Yang, he is much inferior in terms of talent and potential.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that the other party will experience a period of explosive growth in the future. After all, it is not uncommon for people to achieve success late in life.

But this situation is often rare.

The remaining disciples came on stage one after another, but only five of them lasted more than one incense stick.

Including Gu Yuan, Lin Yang and the disciple who was in the middle stage of the Condensation Realm, only eight people passed the internal assessment.

Adding those who were eliminated previously, nearly half of the people were eliminated, which is enough to show the cruelty of the competition among the sects.

The weekly assessment for inner disciples is over.

The assessment elder, Taoist Black Crow, led everyone to the side hall of the assessment hall.

There were rows of cabinets inside, filled with thousands of black robes of different sizes.

This was not the first time that Gu Yuan and the others had chosen clothes, so they were very familiar with choosing the size that suited them.

Next, Taoist Black Crow took them to the armory and let them choose their favorite weapons.

These weapons are all failed products of inferior treasures. Although they cannot amplify attacks like treasures, they are difficult to damage even for warriors in the Baoyuan realm. For warriors in the Ningzhen realm, they are considered rare magical weapons.

Gu Yuan picked a four-foot-long sword named Chiyan, with a black hilt and a red blade. Lin Yang picked a pair of silk gloves, and the remaining disciples also picked their own weapons.
