C73 Sword Intent
Yue Mo felt the oncoming water vapor. Looking downwards, besides Zhan LingTian, everyone else was covered by the clouds, it was unknown how far they had fallen behind.
However, he and Zhan Ling also began to feel the pressure and their climbing speed began to decrease.
Lifting his head, he saw that the summit was not far away. Yue Mo took in a deep breath and began to climb even faster.
And below him, Qin Yuan's speed was getting slower and slower. Not only was he being left far behind by the He sisters, he was even being overtaken by the willow path.
"Fake realms, nothing more." Liu Dao passed by Qin Yuan. The confidence he had from Qin Yuan's earlier blow had returned. He spoke coldly to Qin Yuan before speeding up his pursuit of the He sisters.
As far as he was concerned, Qin Yuan had to have had some sort of fortuitous encounter to be able to reach such a high level. However, his foundation was still inferior to theirs, the juniors from influential families. As a result, under the sword qi's test, Qin Yuan was overtaken.
Ah Cat laid lazily behind Qin Yuan and encouraged him, "Yo? How long has it been since you've forgotten the fear of being dominated by your power? Qin Yuan brat, take advantage of this opportunity and throw him off the mountain! "
Qin Yuan said unhappily: "I want to throw you down now. The Purple-eyed Tiger was originally a mount for my Qin family's martial practitioners. Yet, you think I'm your mount! "
"I have no way to climb the mountain! "Take a look, how am I supposed to climb up the stone walls with my claws?" Ah Cat stretched out a paw from Qin Yuan's shoulder. "You really don't care about that Willow Road?" He's running far away! "
Qin Yuan ignored Mao and calmed his heart to sense the sword aura on the peak of Dao Seeking.
For some reason, the closer he got to the peak, the more intense Qin Yuan's reaction to the sword aura became. This kind of feeling was not only from the pressure of others, but also from understanding sword intent.
Perhaps it was because he had lived two lifetimes, but Qin Yuan's perception and soul was much stronger than ordinary people. This was also why when he was not even a martial artist, he had practiced the Qin family's fist techniques to the point where he could break through Qin Yi's defense.
Even Zhan LingTian, who had practiced the sword for many years, did not react at all under the protection of the Sword Seeking Peak's sword intent. He wholeheartedly wanted to quickly reach the top. Qin Yuan, on the other hand, had only practiced the sword for half a month and had already noticed the concept contained within the sword aura.
"Perhaps, the founder of the Danwu Academy didn't leave behind this sword qi just to test the students." Qin Yuan thought to himself.
As a result, he slowed down even further, slowly and carefully experiencing the state of the sword qi.
And just like that, even Fan Tong, who was lagging behind, was shocked beyond Qin Yuan.
"What exactly is in this sword qi?" Qin Yuan did not have any distractions as he stopped climbing. "If I had started practicing sword and not fist techniques, perhaps I would have already comprehended it?"
Qin Yuan felt that it was a pity that he was unable to grasp the indistinct enlightenment in his heart. He could only continue climbing upwards.
Mao Mao did not know that Qin Yuan was trying to comprehend the sword aura, but she felt that Qin Yuan was a little impatient. She used her claws to scratch Qin Yuan's hair, and said, "Brat, you made a chicken's nest. "What are you thinking about? Normally, you rarely get so anxious."
Qin Yuan was upset, but he suddenly realized that he had been too persistent after hearing the cat messing up his hair.
Just as he had begun to feel the sword intent, Qin Yuan slowly and unhurriedly began to experience the concept within. But gradually, a determination to comprehend emerged in his heart and he even paused to capture that strand of the concept.
It was because of this that he was gradually unable to resonate with the sword Qi and could not grasp the ethereal state of the creative concept.
After thinking it through, Qin Yuan no longer slowed down intentionally. He let go of the perseverance and anxiety in his heart and gradually passed through the mist that permeated the water vapor.
Until he saw the eight people waiting for him at the peak, Qin Yuan's speed had not changed. What was even more miraculous was that the higher he climbed, the stronger the pressure from the sword qi. Yet, Qin Yuan did not seem to be under any pressure at all. Even when he reached the top, he did not let out a breath.
"Brother Qin, why are you so slow?" Yue Mo did not notice Qin Yuan's relaxed manner and said with a lecturing tone, "It seems that your cultivation speed is too fast, but your foundation is not solid enough. Especially in terms of willpower, the Sword Qi will most likely test is willpower, which is why you are getting slower and slower, until you are surpassed by several people whose strength is weaker than yours. In the future, Brother Qin will train your foundation. Otherwise, you'll be stuck in a pavilion in the sky no matter how high your cultivation realm is. "
Qin Yuan was not annoyed either. He was still immersed in the state of mind towards sword Qis. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Brother Yue."
Up to the peak, Qin Yuan himself was not sure if he had truly comprehended sword intent or not. Everything seemed to have been settled by itself, and there was no apparent increase in his realm.
He Dandan seemed unsatisfied with Yue Mo's overbearing attitude, but she could not say anything. She only said, "Let's go. Everyone is here, it's time to go to the Alchemy Martial Academy."
Everyone nodded and headed down the mountain on the other side of the peak.
The cat in Qin Yuan's arms seemed to have sensed something. It stuck its head out to look at the peak, but it didn't find anything. After pondering for a moment, it yawned lazily once again and slept in Qin Yuan's arms.
The group of people gradually moved further and further away. No one noticed that on the peak of the Dao Seeking Peak, a white-haired old man was standing with his hands behind his back, staring meaningfully at Qin Yuan's back. He muttered to himself, "I didn't expect that after so many years, there would finally be a youth who could comprehend the Sword Qi of the Dao Seeking Peak. "Interesting …"
The road down the mountain was much smoother than the other way. It was only at dusk when everyone reached the foot of the mountain and arrived at the top of the basin. The magnificent buildings of the Alchemy Martial Academy also appeared before their eyes.
Qin Yuan estimated that the area covered by the academy was at least half the size of Chu Shi City.
"The gale that is drifting around here is so dense!" He Dandan was astonished. "If I could enter the Alchemy Martial Academy, even if there are no other conditions, just the density of this Supreme Qi would be able to increase my cultivation speed by quite a lot!"
Qin Yuan naturally felt it too.
When he was in Chu Shi City, Qin Yuan had heard that some large clans, large sects, or other great powers would choose places with dense Astral Qi as their base. This was also one of the reasons why martial artists with deep backgrounds and similar talent tended to have higher realms and stronger abilities.
If not for Bai Sha, Qin Yuan would never have chosen to leave Chu, choosing to come here.
Just as everyone was sighing in admiration at the richness of the aura, two young men in their twenties walked over. They were dressed in white with blue borders. Although they did not use their Supreme Force, Qin Yuan, Yue Mo and Zhan Ling could feel that these two youths were at least 5-star Martial Masters.
"I presume you are all candidates who came to participate in the entrance examination?" We were sent by the academy to guide you guys. Please follow us. " One of the youths said.
The nine of them followed the two youths. Along the way, they also saw many martial artists that came to participate in the assessment with them.
However, Qin Yuan could feel that most of these people were still warriors. Only a very small number of them had reached the Martial Master realm. Furthermore, their auras were similar to Yue Mo and Zhan LingTian. They were probably all 1-star Martial Masters.
They stopped in front of a group of buildings of the same style and simple construction.
"We're here." The youth who was leading the way handed out a bunch of keys: "This is where you will rest tonight. The corresponding room number is on the key." The official start of the examination is tomorrow morning, so do not be late. "
