Ten Directions Sword Master

The most famous sword technique at Yuelu Academy is the Righteous Qi Sword.

Emphasize meaning and follow rules.

They do not rely on techniques to defeat others, but rather cultivate their minds and wills, maintaining a solemn and dignified demeanor, which is in harmony with the spirit of teaching and spreading knowledge to benefit the people.

By cultivating to the highest level, one can attain the righteous Dharma body.

However, during the Qi Induction and Foundation Building stages, the Righteous Qi Sword does not show any advantage and is not as good as those other sword techniques with sharp moves.

Judging from Jiang Linyuan's demeanor, he must hold a high position in Yuelu Academy.

Presuming defeat before victory is spoken of.

The moment Lu Li made his move, all the noise disappeared, and the discussions and pointing fingers of the bystanders gradually faded away.

With a clear mind, one will not panic regardless of which sword technique the opponent uses.

This was his strength that he awakened after nearly drowning. The first time he went to the Great Kang World through the mysterious compass, he felt no discomfort at the sight of flying flesh and blood.

Jiang Linyuan took a step back, pointed his sword at the sky, and questioned the sages, as if seeking their advice.

Their shadows clashed, and the two made a brief contact before disengaging, showing no intention of escalating the conflict further.

After just a few moves, the expressions of the spectators below the stage changed slightly.

"Junior Brother Deng, is this Junior Brother Lu learning the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Sword Technique?"

Senior Sister Han placed her hand on her sword, a long sword covered in animal hide that had been frequently rubbed, its scabbard dark and cloudy.

When the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Sword Technique was popular, the four major academies had not yet split up, and each had its own collection.

As a disciple who loves swordsmanship, how could he not have seen this sword technique that has reached the pinnacle of the art of swordsmanship?

However, most disciples gave up after learning about the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Sword Technique.

Even if someone truly possesses the necessary kendo talent, there are other sword techniques that are easier to learn and offer better value for money.

Like the Righteous Sword of Righteousness and the Misty Rain Sword of Xiaoxiang, it has been practiced by teachers and elders for generations, learning from each other's strengths and making up for each other's weaknesses, and there are countless experiences to refer to.

Those who still wish to learn this sword technique are either madmen or people who are extremely confident in their personal swordsmanship talent.

Jiang Linhai, the most outstanding disciple of Yuelu Academy, who entered the Foundation Establishment stage at the young age of twenty, is Jiang Linyuan's elder brother and is also in the visiting team.

As a supporter of Jiang Linhai, Senior Sister Han naturally had to take care of and accommodate her younger brother.

"I don't know either, Junior Brother Lu hasn't practiced this in class before..."

Deng Lun's mouth tasted bitter. He rubbed his face and forced himself to stay awake.

Lu Li first put them in a difficult position with his words, and they realized that they were inferior to Yuelu Academy, which would greatly affect their reputation if word got out.

Looking at it now, the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Sword Technique is not just for show. No wonder Gu Jingyu chose him as his learning assistant.

"Junior Brother Deng, I have noted this matter down... If Junior Brother Jiang has any accidents, I will definitely report it to Chief Linhai truthfully."

Senior Sister Han looked displeased. She didn't even know the sword technique Lu Li used, yet she still praised his outstanding swordsmanship.

Using sword fighting as an excuse to suppress fellow disciples is fine, but if something goes wrong, you have to take full responsibility.

Such a strong killing intent!

Jiang Linyuan's perception was much more acute than that of the bystanders, and he immediately realized that the other party had indeed seen blood and killed people.

He wasn't the kind of armchair strategist who stayed in the academy, only good at fighting in the arena and sword dueling with fellow disciples.

"This kind of aura can't be cultivated without going through countless life-or-death battles and having hundreds of lives on one's hands. When did Bai Lu suddenly become such a killing machine!"

Jiang Linyuan's expression was solemn, no longer the arrogant and haughty person he had been before, only showing his devotion to swordsmanship.

"Where did Yuzhang County get the men to give him for practice? Were they trained by border troops?"

Qi-cultivation martial artists have shallow internal energy. If they are attacked by a small team of elite soldiers, they can easily lose their mind and become trapped in the formation.

A chill seemed to invade him during the fight, slowing down his reaction speed.

Fortunately, he learned the Righteous Qi Sword Technique, which kept his internal energy flowing, his beliefs unwavering, and his fighting spirit soaring.

No matter how fast your opponent's moves change, just use the Zhu Ling Wen Dian technique flexibly to protect yourself.

This is a move that my elder brother Jiang Linhai carefully instructed me to master, and it is difficult for Qi-inducing martial artists to break through.

"Judging from his internal strength, this person is only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, still a notch below me. If we drag this out for a few dozen more moves until his internal strength is exhausted, then it will be time for a counterattack."

Jiang Linyuan's talent is not bad; he didn't just benefit from his elder brother's influence.

"The Twenty-Four Solar Terms Sword Technique is said to be incredibly powerful, but I'm guarding my position and ignoring it. What can it do to me? It's a pity I haven't learned the next move, 'Yu Bei Zhen Yue,' yet; otherwise, the sword strike would be as solid as a mountain, one strike... Oh no!"

Each strike of the Hundred-Refined Green Steel sword was sharper than the last, seemingly unable to be broken through by the "Zhu Ling Asks the Classics".

But when it reaches its limit, the sword speed increases to another level, forming a continuous line, a blur of white shadows.

Every sword strike leaves no room for retreat; there is no room for self-preservation, and exquisite sword techniques are abruptly transformed into a life-or-death swordsmanship that results in mutual destruction.

Jiang Linyuan was getting anxious. As a disciple who had grown up under the orthodox teachings of Yuelu Academy and enjoyed top-tier treatment, he could at least come up with three sword techniques to deal with this situation.

However, he was intimidated by the reputation of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Sword Technique and tried to use his internal strength advantage to defend himself, thus giving up all initiative.

Unable to change tactics in time, they made one mistake after another, ending up in a very embarrassing situation.

Lu Li unleashed his inner force from his dantian, causing frost to form on the sword blade. The chilling aura was so intense that it caused the temperature in the sword hall to drop significantly, as if the place were in a frosty, icy atmosphere.

Ding!

Clang!

The quality of the Hundred-Refined Green Steel Sword was clearly inferior to the Flowing Water Longsword in Jiang Linyuan's hand. A small section of the sword tip broke off during the collision, but it did not prevent the white light from slicing across his wrist, leaving a trace of blood.

"Please go easy on me!"

Only Tian Ren from Shigu Academy reacted and shouted, but his feet were rooted to the spot and he didn't move an inch.

"I'm sorry, as I said, my swordsmanship is not yet proficient, and I couldn't stop myself."

Lu Li glanced at the Hundred-Refined Green Steel Sword. The tip of the sword was broken, and there were four or five nicks the size of grains of rice on the blade.

This sword is unusable; it will cost several dozen silver coins to have the master craftsman at the sword-making workshop reforge it.

It seems that the opponent's sword is of a similar grade to the Sun-Covering Sword.

Frost's Descent, a time of desolation and death.

The second move of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Sword Technique that I mastered was a more extreme and tragic sword strike than the Autumn Equinox.

I initially thought it wouldn't be very effective, but it seems to work well for dealing with flowers in greenhouses.

Senior Sister Han quickly stepped forward and helped Jiang Linyuan, whose face was pale. There was a deep sword wound on his right forearm that exposed the bone, but fortunately, it did not damage the bone or meridians.

With a good wound dressing applied and a few months of rest, it will recover.

"The swordsmanship of Yuelu Academy is exquisite. I have exhausted my internal energy and need to return to my room to rest. Farewell."

Lu Li was in high spirits after easily winning his first match against a disciple from another academy, and he gained a general understanding of his own strength.

As long as he can survive in the world of Compass, his weakness in martial arts talent can be made up for.

With resources from Bailu Academy out of reach, and backed by a series of dazzling worlds and the Starry Sky Palace that can exchange for anything, it won't be long before it amazes everyone.

"White Deer Academy is full of hidden talents; how could such a disciple remain unknown and not even qualify for the exchange program between the four academies..."

As Tian Ren watched Lu Li's departing figure, he pondered his chances of winning when it was his turn to go on stage.

The sword, wielded amidst misty rain and the Xiang River, is graceful and agile, like ink wash painting, concealing the elegance of a scholar.

Her movements, like the clouds and mist of Hengshan Mountain and the gentle waves of the Xiang River, are graceful and elegant. Against the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Sword Technique, she should be better than Jiang Linyuan.

Whether they can win depends on whether Lu Li has more tricks up his sleeve.

"How could this happen!"

With a gasp, she turned to look and saw that Jiang Linyuan's arm was covered in hemostatic powder.

The bleeding showed no signs of stopping, and the excessive blood loss caused him to fall into a coma.

"Blood Frost... that's the Frostfall Sword Style. That person's Twenty-Four Solar Terms Sword Technique has reached a high level, mastering the laws of nature!"

"I can't believe it," said Senior Brother Liu from Yingtian Academy. He squatted down and touched his hand.

The blood was ice-cold, with a few ice crystals still clinging to it.

"Quickly seek help from your teachers; if the cold penetrates to the lungs and internal organs, even if you are saved, you'll be half-crippled!"

Senior Sister Han's expression changed drastically. She picked up Jiang Linyuan and, with lotus flowers blooming beneath her feet, headed straight for the Hall of Rites, where several elders of Yuelu Academy were discussing matters.

"What a powerful sword! What ruthless methods!"

Tian Ren was secretly terrified. He never expected that such a madman would abandon the clear path of swordsmanship and instead gamble everything on the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Sword Manual, and actually manage to cultivate something of real skill.

If it weren't for his slightly lower cultivation level, the various academies would have gained another formidable rival.

However, Jiang Linhai was the first to reach the Foundation Establishment stage and made it onto the Human Ranking, showing signs of becoming the number one young person among the four major academies.

If his brother is really crippled, that would be a huge grudge.
