The Demon Cultivator of the Sword

Chapter 4 Demonic Evil Technique and Basic Swordsmanship
Gu Yuan took a quick look at them and found that each of them had its own strengths. For example, some had a fast recovery speed and were suitable for protracted battles, while others had strong bursts of true energy and focused on quick battles and quick decisions.

Others focus on defense and are suitable for those warriors who like head-on confrontation.

Some contain special effects, such as the Xuan Zhong aura of the Xuan Zhong Heart Sutra and the transfer force effect of the Yi Hua Jie Mu Gong.

In short, for Gu Yuan in his current state, none of the books that can reach the top human level are useless.

However, he still wanted to take a look to see if he could find one that he was very satisfied with.

Finally he found a way:
"The Devil's Art is a top-level human-level technique. It is a unique technique of the Feitian Demon Sect. The first four levels focus on training the true qi and nurturing the evil spirit. The fifth level can produce a cold aura that can hurt people from a distance. The sixth level goes a step further and can produce a protective killing aura, combining offense and defense. The seventh level, the highest realm, can condense the surrounding evil spirit and increase the power of the moves. If you are in an area where evil spirits gather, your combat effectiveness will double."

"Very good, that's him."

The Mountains of the Dead Souls are an area filled with killing, with warriors and monsters fighting each other every day. The concentration of evil spirits is far greater than that of other areas in the Black Dragon Empire. As a sect of magic, most of the people in the Feitian Demon Sect practice magic techniques, and this is also one of the reasons why the sect was established in the Mountains of the Dead Souls.

Gu Yuan felt that he could not leave the sect before he switched to practicing earth-level techniques, and this technique was undoubtedly very suitable for him.

Now that the technique has been determined, the next step is to practice Qinggong.

Before this, he had almost no experience with light Kung Fu, so he didn't think much about it.

Also choose a top-level human-level light skill, Phantom Step, which can double the effectiveness in evil areas.

At this point, Gu Yuan’s goal this time has been achieved.

Holding the three secret books, Gu Yuan came to the elder guarding the pavilion to register.

The elder guarding the pavilion naturally knew that Gu Yuan was a new disciple. Seeing that Gu Yuan had only chosen a basic sword technique of the intermediate level in addition to the skills and light skills, he looked at him in surprise and then instructed:
"You can take these secret books with you, but you are not allowed to teach them without our permission. Otherwise, your cultivation will be ruined at the least, and in serious cases, you will be executed. In addition, you must return the copies of the secret books after three months."

"Don't worry, elder. I know the importance of this disciple."

After putting away the secret book, Gu Yuan stepped out of the Martial Arts Pavilion.

The disciples of the Feitian Demon Sect need to gather together except for the martial arts classes once every three days.

The rest of the time is at your disposal.

That night, after Gu Yuan had carefully reviewed the Piaoxue Sword Technique, he went to the yard holding the Hanying Sword.

There are nine moves in the Piaoxue Sword Technique. The first six moves have no names, and the last three moves are "Piaoxue", "Frost Descent" and "Ice and Frost Crack".

Closing his eyes, the mental picture of Piaoxue Sword Technique flowed from his mind. Gu Yuan held the Hanying Sword diagonally in his right hand and began to practice from the first move.

Contrary to Gu Yuan's expectations, he did not feel any blockage when holding the sword for the first time. Instead, he felt a sense of ease as if everything came naturally.

A flying leaf was cut in half, but Gu Yuan felt nothing and continued dancing.

The first form, the second form, the third form, the fourth form!

Gu Yuan's sword dance was not fast, but he felt free and unfettered.

Gradually, Gu Yuan's sword dance became faster and faster, as if he had transcended all constraints. He repeated the first move over and over again, and then the second move came naturally to him, and then the third move.

Before I knew it, it was already dawn.

The sun rose slowly.

When the first ray of sunlight in the early morning shines into the Guyuan Courtyard.

The fourth move was performed by him very naturally.

In an instant, dozens of fallen leaves were pierced by him, and the surface was covered with a layer of light frost. Then they broke into pieces with a bang, turning into ice chips all over the sky.

“So easy?”

Gu Yuan put away his sword and stood there, feeling quite surprised.

He never expected that he would master the first four basic sword techniques in just one night. You know, everything is difficult at the beginning.

For beginners, even the most basic martial arts are difficult to master. This is not only due to talent limitations, but also the ability to adapt to new things.

Often the most difficult thing is not going from low to high, but from nothing to something.

"It's probably because I, as a time traveler, was born with a strong soul."

Gu Yuan vaguely remembered that the protagonist Ye Chen in the original novel, because of his powerful soul power, had practiced the basic swordsmanship from the third style to the eighth style as soon as he traveled through time.

Compared with the other party, I am considered to be poor.

After thinking all this through, Gu Yuan's stomach began to rumble after a night of consumption.

He smiled slightly, sheathed his sword, washed up briefly, and walked towards the dining hall for the outer disciples of the Feitian Demon Sect.

It has to be said that the Feitian Demon Sect is a sixth-grade sect.

The food is impeccable. Not only is there everything from flying in the sky, swimming in the water, and walking on the ground, but every three days there is also a meal of monster meat that can help low-level warriors increase their training speed.

Before joining the Feitian Demon Sect, Gu Yuan was just the son of an ordinary tavern owner. He might have had enough meat, but he could forget about monster meat.

This time, he happened to catch it. It was a delicacy that he had never tasted in both of his previous lives. He felt like he was going to get sick from eating so much.

After breakfast, Gu Yuan hurried back to the yard.

Start to practice the exercises.

On the bed, Gu Yuan sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, his hands in a strange hand seal placed on his knees. As his breathing rose and fell, traces of the vitality of heaven and earth gathered from the surroundings.

It becomes mist, quickly penetrates into the body, and circulates endlessly in the meridians.

If someone could see through things, they would definitely find that in Guyuan's Dantian, in addition to the cyclone in the center, there was another cyclone that was being generated, slowly and powerfully.

"Hu" he slowly exhaled a breath of foul air, opened his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"It took two and a half hours to reach the first level. This seems to be beyond my expectations."

After practicing Piaoxue swordsmanship, Gu Yuan knew that his soul power was most likely inferior to Ye Chen's.

But the speed of practicing the skills was comparable to Ye Chen, or even surpassed him, which was incredible to him.

However, no matter how incredible it was, Gu Yuan was still very satisfied with his rapid progress in cultivation.

For a moment, I couldn't help but feel a little proud.

But this is just the beginning.

There are seven levels in total in the Devil's Art. Each level is more difficult than the last. The next level will take at least a few days, and the third level will take several times as long. The same is true for the fourth, fifth, and sixth levels.

By the seventh level, it is no longer as simple as doubling.

Need to understand.

According to the introduction in the secret book, in the past ten years, only a handful of people in the Feitian Demon Sect have cultivated the Demonic Evil Art to the highest level, the seventh level.

It’s not that these people have low talents, they can’t even cultivate the top human-level skills to the highest level.

Instead, often before they have even reached the seventh level of cultivation, they have already broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm and turned to practicing Earth-level techniques.

Although Gu Yuan knew that he had a high talent, he was still a little surprised when he reached the second level of the Demonic Evil Art on the morning of the third day after entering the school.
