Borrowing a sword

Chapter 131 Do You Know How to Use a Sword?

Chu Huaixu was very unhappy.

"I'm shivering with cold! When will the body cultivators of this world be able to stand up again?!"

He completely forgot that while he was in the library, he had also been shouting in his heart, "Body training? Even dogs don't train!"

Now he cultivates both internal and external skills, making him a semi-body cultivator.

They say your perspective is determined by your position.

His buttocks have become so hard from training, so his stance is naturally very clear:

—Body tempering, not bad!

I have dedicated my life to physical cultivation, and I am no less than anyone else!

Han Shuangjiang watched her two body cultivators from the side and couldn't help but find it amusing.

She had no prejudice against body cultivators.

I just feel that the body cultivator really loves to shout.

From the bamboo house next door came either Chu Huaixu's screams or Junior Brother Xu's screams.

At that moment, she watched helplessly as Xiao Xu solemnly bowed to Chu Huaixu and said, "Yes, Senior Brother!"

Han Shuangjiang was starting to panic: "Chu Huaixu said he'd kill him, he wouldn't actually go after this Chairman Wang, would he?"

Standing opposite Xu Ziqing, Chairman Wang felt that the young man's aura had changed.

He used to look quite reserved, but now he even straightens his back a lot.

"Straighten your back and stand a little forward!"

The boy was still as handsome as ever, even deserving the word "beautiful".

But at this moment, his eyes turned sharp!

The competition has officially begun.

Chu Huaixu's gaze, however, was fixed on Xu Ziqing's sword case.

"He took the bronze sword down the mountain?"

"Should I just put it here?" he thought to himself.

He sent an "Information Probe" message, but three question marks appeared instead.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Huaixu cast an [Information Detection] spell on Xu Ziqing.

"Huh, it actually caught up with me, and it's also at the fourth level of the first realm?" He was shocked.

Chu Huaixu had always guessed that Xu Ziqing had probably been cultivating with that junior grandmaster during this time.

So he wanted to see how different it would be if Xiao Xu followed me in his cultivation and followed him.

The result is
"Hilarious! He still relies on drugs!"

As an alchemist, he would be more sensitive to the residual effects of elixirs, which would also enhance his [Information Detection] authority in this regard.

The boy still had residual medicinal power from the Marrow Cleansing and Bone Forging Pill in his body.

"The only difference is that the pills I'm taking are of a higher grade," he thought to himself.

This shows that when I was training him, I was essentially giving him drugs. Jiang Zhi was also giving him drugs when he was training him. In short, I'm practically a junior master in the Daoist sect!

That day on Mount Cangling, Jiang Zhi also said that the boy was consuming too many different kinds of elixirs, and that relying solely on elixirs would definitely not be enough; he needed to continue to solidify his foundation.

The next day, he taught Xu Ziqing a set of secret methods to solidify her foundation and counteract some of the negative effects left over from taking the elixir.

As a result, a day later, he discovered that all the lingering problems in the boy's body had disappeared!

This means we can eat again.
"What kind of heaven-defying physique is this?" Even the well-informed Jiang Zhi was a little dumbfounded.

He felt that since returning to the Taoist sect this time, he had been surprised more times than in his entire life.

Since that was the case, the junior master of the Taoist sect summoned the second elder and asked this master alchemist to feed the boy the most suitable pills.

"His progress in cultivation on his own is indeed too slow."

After learning that Xu Ziqing was practicing the "Ice Skin Jade Bone Heart Method", the second elder of the Taoist sect refined ten Marrow Cleansing and Bone Forging Pills for him.

And I must say, the results are truly outstanding!

Sure enough, no drugs, no body training!
Body training requires consuming large amounts of energy!

Jiang Zhi was unaware that her prestige in Chu Huaixu's eyes had just dropped a few points.

On the stage, Xu Ziqing and Chairman Wang were locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.

The sword cultivator from the Sword Sect was extremely surprised; this body-refining kid opposite him was actually so strong!

Only Chu Huaixu knew in his heart: "Right now, if we look purely at physical strength, Xiao Xu is probably a level above me."

Although the "Sword Refining Technique" is unorthodox, once all nine orifices are opened, the physical strength is even stronger than that of many ordinary first-stage body cultivators, so their starting point can be said to be very high.

Based on this, he practiced the "Taoist Canon," while Xiao Xu practiced the "Ice Skin and Jade Bone Heart Method."

The former excels in cultivating both internal and external aspects, but whether it's the body-refining half or the other half within the spiritual embryo secret treasure, its strength is only at the level of a low-grade cultivation technique.

If the two are combined, they will completely crush any Heavenly-level cultivation technique!
However, the "Ice Skin Jade Bone Heart Method" is a genuine Heaven-level body-refining divine skill.

If they are at the same level, and only compare their physical bodies, Xu Ziqing, being a more pure body cultivator, would have a slight advantage.

"However, this is just the result of everyone standing together and comparing 'panel attributes'," Chu Huaixu thought to himself.

"In actual combat, anything can happen."

"The reason is simple: the Daoist Canon also has an even more abnormal self-healing ability."

"Does this mean I last longer?"

In addition, he possesses sword intent and spiritual fetus supernatural abilities, which Xiao Xu currently lacks.

The reason why Chairman Wang was able to fight Xu Ziqing to a standstill at this moment was because he had the advantage in terms of magical artifacts.

He had his own natal sword, while Xiao Xu was empty-handed. Clearly, even if the sword case did contain a bronze sword, he had no intention of using it.

On the arena, the further the fight went, the more astonished Wang Dong became. He gritted his teeth and thought to himself, "Madman! I never expected this sissy who practices body tempering to be a madman!"

During the fight, he sensed several times that his opponent wanted to trade blows for blows!

To an ordinary person, it's hard to believe that this person is unafraid of pain.

Ordinary body training will not produce such an effect; people will simply have stronger physical bodies and be less prone to pain.

After all, if you're not afraid of pain, then the suffering during body tempering won't be a burden. In that case, the path of body tempering will become much easier.

Chairman Wang would only think he was crazy, willing to pay any price to win!

As the fight progressed, Xu Ziqing began to realize, "I'm at a huge disadvantage because I don't have any magical artifacts."

Even for ordinary martial arts heroes, the boost from a good weapon is enormous.

In fact, Xiao Xu not only has extremely high comprehension, but his combat talent and intuition are also extraordinary.

In the martial arts world, he would be a born swordsman.

He quickly found another flaw in Wang Dong's strategy.

However, because he was unarmed, he could only choose the "wild mode" of trading blows to achieve the effect of directly determining the winner.

Just then, a flash of inspiration struck the boy.

He suddenly remembered something.

Immediately afterwards, Chairman Wang saw something huge smashing down on him!

Xu Ziqing swung the sword case, unleashing all his power at that moment.

Don't forget, the sword box is at least a mid-grade spiritual artifact!

The audience below the arena were stunned, watching in disbelief as this short, handsome young man swung a sword case taller than himself and began to smash people with great force.

Wang Dong's longsword was unable to parry in time and flew out.

The reddish-brown Panlong wood has an astonishing hardness.

Under immense force, this proud swordsman from the Sword Sect immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, his bones were broken in countless places, and his body flew backward, crashing heavily onto the ground below the arena!

In fact, Chairman Wang had been wary of what was inside the sword case.

He guessed that Xu Ziqing's natal spiritual artifact was inside.

"But who would have thought that his true treasure was actually this sword box itself! It's so deceptive!" Wang Dong thought to himself, his mind reeling.

This caught him completely off guard.

After he fell to the ground, everything went black.

Before he lost consciousness, he had only one thought in his mind.

"A crude body cultivator!"

There was a lot of discussion under the ring.

If it weren't for Chairman Wang's provocation first, and the fact that the Taoist disciples were of one mind, they would probably have muttered to themselves, "This junior brother is extremely despicable!"

His natal magical artifact is just too bizarre.

Who would be wary of this wooden box?

Unfortunately, this dirty trick can only be used once.

In subsequent matches, once your opponent gets to know you a little, that miraculous effect disappears.

However, because Chairman Wang had just been too arrogant, the Taoists cheered at this moment!
As long as we win, who cares how we win?

You are a sword cultivator from the Sword Sect, and you are clearly very skilled with your sword on ordinary days!
Regardless of whether it's honorable or not, the Sword Sect must lose!
They all felt righteously justified: "Luckily, this is just a competition. If it were a life-or-death duel, we would have taken your life! We'd teach you a lesson!"

In fact, every practitioner has a few underhanded tricks up their sleeve.

In the face of life and death, who will talk about martial ethics?
The most important thing is to survive.

Moreover, a large part of the killing techniques throughout history have been extremely insidious.

The advantage of playing at home was evident at this moment; no one booed, everyone praised Xu Ziqing.

The boys were simple-minded and had no idea that they had mistaken the sword box for their personal treasure. They even showed a few slightly shy smiles on stage.

This smile even made several of the senior students in the audience lose their composure.

After Xu Ziqing stepped down, he went straight to Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang.

"Senior brother, Senior sister Han," he said respectfully.

"Well done." Chu Huaixu's praise was as lukewarm as ever.

Even so, it still made Xiao Xu feel satisfied.

These past few days, my junior grandmaster has said that he has "high comprehension," "an unparalleled physique," and "a decent temperament."
All of that combined can't compare to that simple "Well done."

Chu Huaixu led the way toward a deserted corner, and the two immediately followed.

Arriving at a secluded spot, he remained mindful of his words, pointing to the sword case and asking, "Is it inside?"

Xu Ziqing nodded, understanding perfectly, and said, "Mm."

"Does Junior Grandmaster allow you to use it in the competition?" Chu Huaixu asked again.

“He said it’s not possible right now,” Xiao Xu replied.

Chu Huaixu understood, but he didn't need to use it for the time being.

He knew in his heart that if the family of three could keep advancing in each round, then he and Xiao Xu would probably have to fight sooner or later!
And the Xu Ziqing he will face will certainly not be the one he is now.

If nothing unexpected happens, it will be Xu Ziqing, who is holding that sword.

A true protagonist of the world!
