Shen Ao wasn't in a hurry to answer Leng Bingling's question. Instead, he took a sip of tea and said slowly,""The so-called ruthlessness is the aura. As the saying goes, the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. When you have an invincible belief, the determination to climb to the peak, and the arrogance to defeat all enemies, then your aura will definitely be stronger than your opponent. He hadn't even pulled out his sword, but he was already able to make his opponent wary. This was ruthless.”
"I've learned my lesson, Senior Brother."
"Hehe, this aura can naturally be cultivated through continuous training and the improvement of the sword technique. The difficulty lay in the word 'quasi'. Because no matter how fast the sword technique was, no matter how strong the aura was, if your sword technique was not accurate enough, it would be very difficult to injure the enemy. Usually, the stronger the enemy, the smaller the flaw. Only when your swordsmanship is accurate to the extreme can you grasp every opportunity to injure your enemy.”
"It's not difficult to reach the three key points of swordsmanship. The real difficulty lies in the realm.”Shen Ao's gaze turned deep. He looked into the distance and stood silently by the lake.
Leng Bingling didn't rush him. Instead, she stood patiently at the side and waited.
"Phew…I'll show you the first level of my swordsmanship, the realm of becoming one with the sword.”Shen Ao drew his sword. After a silver light appeared, a leaf that was falling beside Shen Ao shook. In the next second, the leaf split into two thin leaves.
Seeing this scene, Leng Bingling could not help but gasp. She was shocked to find that the two identical leaves had been cut in half by Shen Ao with his sword. Leng Bingling had never heard or seen such a shocking scene before.
"When your speed and accuracy of drawing your sword are trained to the extreme, then…you can be considered one with the sword. In order to reach this realm, you must turn the sword in your hand into a part of your body. The precise distance of every inch the sword advanced, the subtle strength of every slash, had to be grasped to the extreme.”
"Senior Brother's swordsmanship, Bingling admires it wholeheartedly. However, just as Senior Brother said, Man and Sword as One was only the first realm. Could there be a higher realm after this?”Leng Bingling asked in astonishment.
"Of course there is. I call this second level the 'without a sword wins with a sword'. According to my understanding, the sword realm is divided into five levels. "The third level is 'The sword is born from the heart', the fourth level is' I am the sword', and the fifth level is 'The sword is still the sword, and I am still me'…" If it wasn't for the Nine Swords Beyond the Swords that the system had directly nurtured, Shen Ao wouldn't have been able to comprehend the sword to such an extent. After all, cultivating through a martial arts manual and directly transferring the power into the brain through the system were two completely different concepts. Shen Ao's comprehension of the sword technique was on par with Dugu Bubai's. Otherwise, based on Shen Ao's half-baked understanding of sword techniques, he probably wouldn't even be qualified to give Leng Bingling pointers.
After hearing Shen Ao's description, Leng Bingling's eyes lit up with stars. After all, for a martial arts fanatic like her, there was nothing more attractive than this.
Looking at Leng Bingling's agitated expression, Shen Ao knew that if he did not say a few words today, she would not let the matter rest.
"The second level of swordsmanship is to win without a sword. I will only use it once. Second Junior Sister, watch carefully.”After saying that, Shen Ao picked up a bamboo branch under his feet and then glided towards a bamboo tree not far away.
" Kacha!" A bamboo pole as thick as an arm broke into two neatly. The broken surface was as smooth as a mirror. In fact, it was not the bamboo branch that cut the bamboo pole, but the sharp sword qi attached to the bamboo branch. At such a level, all injuries were caused by sword qi. Naturally, the pursuit of weapons was no longer important.
Shen Ao didn't care about Leng Bingling who was intoxicated by the sword technique. He continued to swing his sword and said in a clear voice,""The third level of swordsmanship, the sword is born from the heart.”After saying this, Shen Ao drew his sword and stabbed at Leng Bingling.
Leng Bingling was also startled by such a sudden change. She had never thought that her senior brother would suddenly draw his sword at her. Just as Leng Bingling was about to brandish her sword to block, she was shocked to discover that her body could not move at all. However, Shen Ao's sword was so domineering that it made people tremble and suffocate. Whether it was sword technique, sword intent, sword path, or sword realm, it was as if they had all been fused to perfection in this sword. This sword seemed to have pierced into his soul. This sword was difficult to block!
Who in the world could block such a domineering sword? Am I going to die? Leng Bingling's heart was filled with despair.
However, at the critical moment, Shen Ao's sword stopped a foot away from Leng Bingling's forehead.
The atmosphere fell into a state of silence. The two of them stood in place for a long time without saying a word.
After a while, Leng Bingling sat on the ground weakly.
"Shixiong's sword art is actually so powerful…No, I'll never be able to surpass Shixiong. Compared to Shixiong, my swordsmanship is as shallow as a child's play.”Leng Bingling fell into deep despair, showing signs of going berserk. If she couldn't wake up today, her comprehension of the sword would probably not improve at all in the future.
At this moment, Shen Ao shouted at Leng Bingling with a stern face," Second Junior Sister, look at me!”
Upon hearing Shen Ao's voice, Leng Bingling looked up blankly. In the next moment, she realized that her senior brother had changed.
It was true that Shixiong was still the same Shixiong from before, but Shixiong's aura was completely different. He sat down in front of his senior brother as if he was not facing a person, but a towering mountain peak that reached into the clouds. It was also like a sharp sword that had been unsheathed. It was cold, sharp, and eye-catching. No one could match it. Even his own sword trembled.
"This is the fourth realm of swordsmanship. I am the sword! Even Shixiong was barely able to use this move. I call this move 'Cold Light Ten Thousand Feet Ice'. As for the fifth realm of the sword technique, Shixiong had not comprehended it either. Junior Sister, you mustn't be defeated because of today's blow. As a sword wielder, you should always be the same and have an indomitable sword heart. If he couldn't even withstand a small setback, how could he climb to the peak of Sword Dao?”
Shen Ao's words were like a thunderclap that exploded in Leng Bingling's heart. It instantly dispelled the haze in Leng Bingling's heart. Leng Bingling's gaze gradually turned clear.
After a long while, Leng Bingling bowed deeply to Shen Ao and said firmly,""Senior brother, I understand. Thank you for your guidance today, senior brother. You made me understand that I'm still far from comprehending the sword path. However, there will come a day when Bingling will reach the fifth realm of the sword technique and surpass you, Senior Brother.”
"Hahaha, good! This was the kind of determination he needed. After you have completely mastered the Sword Drawing Art, you can focus on cultivating the Nine Swords Beyond the Swords. As long as you can completely comprehend the Nine Swords Beyond the Swords, you won't be far from reaching the third realm.”Shen Ao sighed. In fact, with his current strength, it was not easy for him to reach the fourth level of the sword technique. Dugu Bubai might not have reached the fourth realm.
The reason why Shen Ao was able to use the Coldlight Ten Thousand Feet Ice was because he had borrowed a little of the Conqueror's Color. This cold light was a hundred thousand feet ice, and it was a sign that the sword force had reached an extreme. Once Shen Ao used this move, no swordsman in the world would be able to draw his sword in front of him. Even a swordsman who was stronger than him would be stunned in front of him. The man did not move, but the sword came out. In other words, Shen Ao's current dominance was enough to deal with opponents who were stronger than him. This was also the move that Shen Ao had created after reading hundreds of secret manuals and comprehending the profound Nine Beyond the Swords in recent days.
After reading all the martial arts manuals he had bought in Fragrant Sky city, Shen Ao decisively took them back. Including the few secret manuals he had looted from the four HuaJin experts, he had earned a total of 2900 points.
In the next few days, Shen Ao copied a copy of all the secret manuals of the sect in the library of the Cyan Phoenix Palace. Then, he used the system to retrieve it and obtained more than 3000 points. With this, Shen Ao's accumulated points reached 5900 again.
What was worth mentioning was that the Cyan Phoenix Palace's ultimate technique, the Evergreen Scripture, was worth as much as 1600 points. If they were to exchange it according to the original price, its price would be the same as the Northern Dark Divine Art, Six Pulses Divine Sword, and other peerless martial arts. No wonder the Cyan Phoenix Palace had stirred up a storm of blood and attracted the attention of the entire martial arts world.
Other than the Evergreen Scripture, the most expensive martial arts of the Cyan Phoenix Palace only cost 300 points. It was probably because too many martial arts manuals were lost after the great calamity that Nishang Xiao had painstakingly managed for three years, but the Cyan Phoenix Palace still had no improvement.
With 5900 points in his pocket, Shen Ao's heart was filled with enthusiasm again. In fact, he really wanted to exchange for another Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. But in the end, he still held back. Firstly, he hadn't fully learned the Northern Dark Divine Art. Secondly, if he accumulated more than 20000 points, he could open the third type of exchange page. For example, the Pegasus Meteor Fist and the Rising Dragon Tyrant. There was even a peerless martial art manual that was truly called a BUG level-The Buddha's Palm. This Buddha's Palm was much more awesome than the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. If the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms belonged to the category of martial arts, then the Buddha's Palm belonged to the category of divine arts. Shen Ao could clearly distinguish who was stronger and who was weaker.
However, this caused another problem. Where was he going to get the remaining 13000 points?
After hesitating for a while, Shen Ao took out the beginner dungeon map card from his dream space. Generally speaking, the difficulty of a beginner dungeon map card was at the level of Jin Yong's novels. The dungeon world could be the world of the Condor Heroes or the world of the Eight Heavenly Dragons. With Shen Ao's current martial arts strength, it would not be a problem for him to survive in these dungeon worlds.
Of course, if they were unlucky enough to enter the world of Death's Arrival or the Death Note, it would be purely due to their bad character. The Death Note was still alright. At least Shen Ao knew who the main character was. It would be great if he could snatch the Death Note from that guy. However, if it was a world where the Grim Reaper had come, Shen Ao would be in tears. As the saying goes, an invisible enemy is the most terrifying.
"Sigh, this beginner dungeon map card is only random. If only he had an Instance Dungeon Map Card that he could choose from.”Shen Ao sighed and decided to take the risk.
There were still three days left before his master came out of seclusion. In the dungeon world, the time ratio was 1:100。In other words, if Shen Ao went to the dungeon world for 300 days, it would only be 3 days outside.
After making up his mind, Shen Ao did not hesitate anymore. He told his junior sisters that he was going into seclusion and then activated the Basic Dungeon Map Card.
"Player, do you wish to activate the Basic Dungeon Map Card?”
"Activate."
"Dungeon map opening…Congratulations player, this random dungeon map is Academy Apocalypse. Do you wish to enter the Academy's Apocalypse dungeon world?”
Hearing the system's voice, Shen Ao heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was a little excited. The school's apocalypse was a world of zombies, and it was not difficult to survive in this world. After all, the main character in the school's Apocalypse, Murosako, was still alive and well. For example, he had comprehended the Nine Swords Beyond the Swords, mastered the Six Pulses Divine Sword, the Northern Dark Divine Technique, and other martial arts manuals. If she was still infected by zombies, she might as well commit suicide.
Since survival was no longer a problem, the only thing Shen Ao needed to think about was how to complete the mission.
The dungeon world will randomly assign different missions for you to complete. There were rewards for completing it, and the rewards were naturally rich. If one's luck was great, they could even obtain special rewards. Generally speaking, in a dungeon world, the missions ranged from stage one to six. In some dungeon worlds, completing a single quest would end the dungeon. In some dungeon worlds, several missions had to be completed. The difficulty of the mission varied. Some were very easy while others were extremely difficult. In short, everything depended on the strength and intelligence of the players.
