You promised to practice martial arts, but you have mastered the golden body and Dharma?

Chapter 48 Great news!

Li Jiu, who was stroking the hilt of the sword and studying the blade, was suddenly stunned. He frowned and looked at Liu Zhuxi, who saw a serious look on his delicate face.

Lu Xing, who was on the side, also looked at him in a default manner: "Practicing swords is not something you do behind closed doors. You have all reached the stage of gradually utilizing swordsmanship routines. You can give it a try."

A duel is a matter of superiority and inferiority, which is better than a trial of depth.

There is nothing wrong with agreeing to Liu Zhuxi. Even putting aside some of the bad impressions in the past, the opponent's strength is just right for practicing swordsmanship.

Thinking of this, Li Jiu slowly pulled out the obsidian sword, casually placed the sword bag and scabbard on the edge of the wooden stand, and motioned to Liu Zhuxi with his eyes: "Then let's have a try."

Seeing how crisp and decisive he was, Liu Zhuxi immediately drew out his silver sword, put down his sword pouch and scabbard and followed him.

Although her face was expressionless, her heartbeat was rolling like the waves on a river. Her bony hands tightly grasped the sword, and her fingertips hooked into the palm like screws inserted into the slots. It was smooth but also a little nervous.

The teacher said that there are very few undefeated characters in the art of swordsmanship. Instead of competing for victory or defeat, it is better to think about whether you have gained something from the game.

The collapse of the Taoist heart is all self-deception. Only those without self-awareness have the collapse of the Taoist heart.

If he loses to Zhao Li, who is in a favorable position, he is bullying the younger one.

After losing to Li Jiu, who came from behind, it was time to recognize his position.

Restore your Taoist heart and start taking the initiative to compete with Li Jiu. I hope you won’t be knocked away by a sword again.
  Thinking of this, Liu Zhuxi slowly exhaled a breath of fresh air from his nose, his eyes were clear in black and white, and his jade eyes were warm.

In response to Li Jiu's calm eyes, her eyes narrowed and she rushed forward with her sword flipped.

Swah——

The wind was like tofu and was pierced by the tip of the sword. The silver-white sword light converged into a cold light and pierced Li Jiu's chest. Before the blade came, there was a dull pain trembling in his heart!
  This stab was much sharper than the assessment duel a month ago. His body was as light as a dragonfly touching water, but the tip of the sword had the force of a star penetrating through it!

If I had encountered this sword during a duel, I would definitely have seen blood, but now that I have entered the energy transformation stage, my reaction ability is not what it used to be!

boom!
  A black arc passed through the air and forcibly cut away the silver-white sword light. The trembling sound of metal clashing echoed endlessly. Liu Zhuxi's tiger's mouth was slightly numb from the surging energy.

She looked stunned for a moment, and glanced at Li Jiu's calm expression with some surprise - he was letting herself go.

A trace of worry and shame hidden deep in my heart was shaken away by the force from the sword. I pressed the hilt of the sword and changed my attack!
  boom! Bah! Crack!
  The sound of Qingyue's swords clashing was like iron chopsticks hitting steel bars, rising crisply and then falling dullly.

Li Jiu felt that there was no point in killing Liu Zhuxi instantly, so he gradually suppressed his own strength, defending more and attacking less, but he still had a suppressive force. When he breathed a little thicker, Liu Zhuxi had a little sweat on his forehead.

This kind of competition seems to be more enjoyable and more effective than practicing the sword repeatedly in the martial arts area alone!
  During the battle, all the swordsmanship moves are taken apart, and the sword sense you master is perfecting the sequence of moves against the enemy, adapting to changes!
  Gradually, Li Jiu, who had hardly practiced with swordsmanship, became familiar with his techniques and footwork. He turned his wrists like scooping water, letting it come naturally and taking his own momentum!
  [Experience value +1 (Transparent Sword Technique)]

[Experience value +1 (Transparent Sword Technique)]

【.】

At the end of the competition, Li Jiu held the long obsidian sword in his right hand and stood it sideways in front of him. The heavy blade reflected Liu Zhuxi's panting and trembling figure on one side and the young man's face with burning eyes on the other.

The fingers of his left hand traced across the grooved sword surface, the cold air penetrated his bones, and he sighed secretly in his heart.

The sword made from this spirit-quenching sword embryo is very textured, much harder than the soft cotton of a wooden sword!

After so many sharp collisions, the edge is still as sharp as ever!

"Yes, Li Jiu, Zhuxi, you two are very comfortable with your respective swords, and your understanding of the transparent sword technique has also improved during the competition. This kind of effect is not achieved by practicing swordsmanship alone." Lu Xing had been watching the two of them silently and said seriously: "No need for the wooden sword. From now on, don't practice sword fighting alone. Come here to practice together."

"Fighting is a shortcut for anyone to improve their level of swordsmanship. Don't think of yourself as a genius after cutting air for several years. You two set a time and come here to practice swordsmanship in the future." Li Jiu raised his brows slightly, and there was a faint feeling in his heart. The meaning of expectation.

The experience points generated by the competition just now are more than before!

Grow faster!
  There are only a few days left until the end of November. If my swordsmanship level cannot be improved, I will not be able to defeat Zhao Li.
  Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked at Liu Zhuxi, who also looked over, and their eyes met, and he just caught the flash of surprise in the other person's eyes, just like a girl taking the first step towards the door of her home?

No, I may have read it wrong.

The sound of swords in the sword training hall sounded on November 1st, coming with the light of morning and falling from the high branches of the moon.

In the midst of the roar, five days flew by.

boom--

The silver-white sword edge hit the obsidian blade and was shaken open. Liu Zhuxi dropped the sword in his right hand, hunched over and gasping for air. His sweat-soaked sleeves stuck to his fair skin, shaking slightly with his arms.

Her red lips opened and closed slightly, and the upper edge of her peach blossom eyes was half pulled down. When she saw Li Jiu standing up and holding a sword, a ray of loss floated in her heart.

Li Jiu can't even breathe now?
  However, this may be the reason why the teacher arranged for me to practice swordsmanship with him.

He became stronger and stronger, and he was able to practice swordsmanship with me with ease. Only then did I understand what the teacher said a true genius should look like.

Liu Zhuxi sighed in his heart and waved his hand to take a break.

Li Jiu nodded silently in response, walked to the sword stand and inserted the sword into its sheath.

[Transparent Sword Technique (Proficient)]

[Experience value: 486/1000]

The current experience points increase much faster than before, with an average of 15 to 20 per day, which is about 500 short of reaching sword strength!

If you just practice swordsmanship like this, it will take nearly a month to surpass Zhao Li in swordsmanship!

Now it depends on when the school decides to issue an announcement regarding the quota for candidates for tempering.
  Just as he was thinking this, Li Jiu suddenly noticed that his phone vibrated in his pocket and took it out.

A school notice popped into view.

[Great news, Zhao Li, the most talented student in martial arts in our school, realized Hua Jin in early November and entered the Hua Jin stage! ]
  [Currently, Zhao Li, the leader of the core group of students that Director Lu is responsible for, has not only made breakthroughs in martial arts, but has also made great progress in swordsmanship, and is on the way to understanding the power of the sword.]
  Seeing this, Li Jiu frowned.

Zhao Li has entered the stage of energy transformation, and is not far away from achieving the Transparent Sword Technique in swordsmanship.

If there is a certain delay in announcing the news, then Zhao Li may have reached this point in his cultivation a few days ago.

It seems that we need to seize the time to practice swordsmanship, otherwise we will not be able to catch up with Zhao Li before the quota is determined.
  "Ding!"

Another school announcement popped into view.

[Great news, our school won a place to enter the tempering ceremony this year. The Municipal Martial Arts Bureau has given great support to the vigorous development of our school! ]
  [At the end of December, the tempering ceremony of the Municipal Martial Arts Bureau officially begins. Our school will hold a quota election on November 26th and select suitable candidates on December 1st.]
  The teacher went to a meeting today to discuss this matter?

How come the notification was issued so quickly?
  Li Jiu stared deeply at the phone screen.
