101. [Like Smoke, Like Fog, and Like a Sword] (Large Chapter!)
The sword energy gathered on Lu Xun's fingertips, and it was condensed and much stronger than when he was at level 4. Google search reading
At the same time, the sword energy was no longer as thin and short as before, and it was more than twice as long!
The current posture really gave a feeling of gathering energy into a sword!
Lu Xun swung the sword energy from bottom to top, drawing a perfect arc. His hand movements were extremely fast. In just a short moment, this sword energy collided with the nine magic swords one after another.
"Bang-bang-bang!"
Every time the sword energy hit a magic sword, it would weaken a little, but Lu Xun was so imposing that he should have used his sword to the end at this time, because he didn't have time to use the second sword!
The nine magic swords were all knocked away, and the sword energy on Lu Xun's fingertips dissipated completely.
He didn't look back, but continued to move forward. He was in a hurry, and rushing to the list was the top priority.
If you observe these nine magic swords at this moment, it is not difficult to find that the one that collided with the sword energy first has a small gap at the edge of the sword.
…
…
"The second level is more difficult than I thought." Lu Xun said in his heart.
If he hadn't upgraded [Sword Training] to level 2, the power of the sword energy would have risen to a higher level, and he really couldn't do it so easily and casually.
He didn't know that most of the trialists didn't break through the second level. Now that he broke through the second level, he could already be ranked in the top 20 of the rankings.
After walking out of the second stone forest, he was still wrapped in light. When he opened his eyes, there was no stone forest in front of him, only 11 swords.
Each sword was inserted straight into the ground, divided into three areas.
There was a sword in the first area.
There were three swords inserted side by side in the second area.
There were seven swords in the third area.
The difference was that the seven swords in the third area were distributed strangely, not like the previous three swords inserted side by side.
Lu Xun was not a novice in cultivation, he saw the clues at a glance.
——That's the sword formation!
Before entering [Turtle's Longevity], Lu Xun had paid attention to the ranking list.
Among the 100 wooden plaques with names, only the one with the second sister had two big words behind her name - pass!
In other words, even Xiao Ran, who ranked second, used up all three chances and did not pass the third level.
"Did he lose in the last sword formation?" Lu Xun guessed in his heart.
Oh, I almost forgot that Xiao Ran didn't practice sword, this pervert played with double axes!
With a petite body, a beautiful face, and a green shirt, she held two axes in her hands. It was weird no matter how you think about it!
The most amazing thing is that there are really axes in [Turtle's Longevity].
It should be very exciting to have so many axes coming at you along the way, right?
So if Xiao Ran really made it to the last area, what she would face is... the axe formation?
I feel like complaining about what's going on?
As Lu Xun thought about it, he took a step forward. In the first area, the only long sword rose from the ground and stabbed at Lu Xun!
Top-grade Huangwu, with extremely fast speed and amazing momentum!
It stands to reason that the small sword in the sword heart should be able to shake off the top-grade Huangwu alone, but for some reason, it did not shake the sword away, but only weakened its offensive.
Lu Xun's fingertips directly met it and knocked it away with one sword.
When entering the second area, Lu Xun fought one against three, and he dared not underestimate it.
After taking a step forward, three magic swords rose from the ground and stabbed from the left, right and top respectively!
Lu Xun either retreated or had to bite his teeth and go for it!
He was not afraid of the three top-grade magic swords, because he could use more than one sword energy at a time!
He put his index and middle fingers together, and danced his hands in the air. Sword Qi flew out from his fingertips one after another, and the small sword in the sword heart was also exerting its greatest effect.
"Bang!" The sword Qi kept hitting the three flying swords, and they couldn't get close to Lu Xun at all.
Swish, the three magic swords fell to the ground and inserted into the ground again.
"The last sword formation is left." Lu Xun took a deep breath and took another step forward.
The seven flying swords flew into the air in an instant, but they didn't rush to attack Lu Xun, as if they were intentionally giving him time to prepare.
Lu Xun looked carefully, and the basic information appeared in front of him.
[Sword formation: Seven Barbarians, attack power +21%, agility +6%].
"I'm dying. It's really a sword formation. The attribute bonus is quite high!"
"It's difficult."
Lu Xun smiled bitterly, and then an idea popped up in his mind:
"After returning to the Demon Sect, I can also learn some sword formations and use sword energy to set up formations. The effect should be similar. It's better than just throwing them around like this, right?"
The seven magic swords did not give Lu Xun a chance to think divergently. They moved quickly, and all seven swords went up together-in the form of a sword formation!
Lu Xun knew that relying on his sword energy was definitely not enough, but he was not without a trump card.
Don't forget, that day outside Qingling City, he raised his sword aptitude to level 3.
Although there is still a long way to go before the sword heart is clear, he has also comprehended the sword meaning!
From beginning to end, he has never used it.
-Now!
……
……
Outside the stone gate, the old crocodile in the pool shivered violently.
"Sword Intention!"
"This kid has already comprehended the sword intention at this level of cultivation!?"
In the eyes of an unfathomable monster like Crocodile Old, sword intent is actually nothing. It's just that Lu Xun's cultivation is too shallow, only the 8th level of the Qi-eating Art. It's completely different to comprehend sword intent at this level.
In his opinion, even the sword-wielding geniuses of Yijian Mountain and Wanjian Mountain can never reach this level!
In fact, since the public beta of "Tianchen", no player has been able to upgrade the sword-wielding aptitude to level 3 at level 8.
In Crocodile Old's impression, there is only one person who can achieve this level!
——Yan Li!
And only the kind of people in the legend can achieve this!
——Born as a sword embryo!
"This kid is actually a born sword embryo!?"
"It's definitely a born sword embryo, I, Crocodile Old, can't be wrong!"
"I didn't expect that the Demon Sect actually has another born sword embryo after Yan Li!"
Lu Xun has brought him a lot of surprises since he broke through the level. But he felt that this kid had only practiced for a short time, and his understanding of the sword was not deep enough. It was definitely unrealistic to break the sword formation. It was good to stop here, at least not much worse than that girl from Luo Tianzong.
But there was the unknown factor of sword intent, plus the natural sword embryo that was particularly sensitive to the sword... it was really hard to say!
In [Turtle's Longevity], Lu Xun condensed a sword energy with sword intent on his fingertips.
Unlike the previous sword energy, this sword energy wrapped with sword intent seemed a bit strange.
It was not so condensed, nor so dazzling, and even a little ethereal.
It was said to be a sword energy, but it was more like a slightly twisted fog.
It was a little hazy and a little illusory.
At the same time, there was a hint of indescribable charm.
His level was still too low, and he could not support the sword intent.
Lu Xun's face was solemn. This was his killer move now, and success or failure depended on this move!
The speed of the mist-like sword energy was actually very fast, but it looked slow, just like a man slowly exhaling a puff of smoke when smoking.
And it was this mist-like thing that broke several swords in one breath!
The first sword!
The second sword!
The third sword!
All in one go!
It was not until the fourth sword that it was completely consumed by the sword formation.
The remaining three magic swords stabbed at Lu Xun, but stopped when they were close. A ray of light wrapped Lu Xun and teleported him out.
When he opened his eyes, he was already outside the first stone forest and was teleported back to the starting point.
"Just now, it really felt like life and death." Lu Xun said in his heart.
He can now choose to consume another opportunity and continue to break through, or he can choose to push open the stone door and leave [Turtle's Longevity] first.
Lu Xun did not move. He just stood there, neither moving forward nor backward, as if he was distracted.
To be precise, he was now browsing the prompts that popped up in front of him one after another.
"[Ding! Dungeon: Turtle's Longevity, the first level is cleared successfully, and 1000 experience points are obtained.]"
The first level is relatively simple, so the experience points are less rewarded.
"[Ding! Dungeon: Turtle's Longevity, the second level is cleared successfully, and 5000 experience points are obtained.]"
The second level is more difficult, and the experience points become rich all of a sudden!
After these two prompts, there is a third one.
"[Ding! Due to your outstanding performance, you are currently ranked 4th in the Dungeon Turtle's Longevity Ranking, and you are rewarded with 10,000 experience points.]"
Lu Xun clicked on all the rewards, and 16,000 experience points were instantly credited to his account.
For this type of level-breaking dungeon, the clearance reward for each level can only be claimed once. In other words, it is meaningless for Lu Xun to clear the first and second levels again now.
However, [Turtle's Longevity] is generally divided into two modes before level 10 and after level 10, so you can actually get experience twice.
And the experience points reward for the mode after level 10 will be even richer!
It's just that the list is counted together, not separately.
After all, the dungeon [Turtle's Longevity] is "very smart", just like the power faced by Lu Xun at the eighth level of the Qi-Eating Art and Ji Li at the fourth level is not exactly the same. So, in fact, the two modes of [Turtle's Longevity] are further refined into 20 kinds of power, and the difficulty of the assessment faced by everyone is basically the same.
In fact, it's still everyone's understanding that counts, just like Lu Xun is facing a sword, and what counts is his understanding of the sword.
"Only ranked fourth?" Lu Xun sat cross-legged on the spot and said in his heart.
The third name written, Lu Xun did not recognize it, it was [Demon Sect Bai Que]. Xiao Ran was even better, ranked second, worthy of being one of the future protagonists.
"I don't know to what extent Xiao Ran has achieved?" Lu Xun said in his heart.
Outside the stone gate, Crocodile thought that Lu Xun would sit cross-legged and meditate first, digest it well and then try the second level. Unexpectedly, he opened his eyes immediately, no longer sitting cross-legged on the ground, but stood up.
Crocodile couldn't help but open his eyes wide, a little unbelievable.
"Breakthrough! Good boy, you actually broke through!"
Yes, just now, Lu Xun didn't even think about it, and silently clicked the upgrade!
