Chapter 32 Sword Intent
……
In the inner gate, Ji Xueruo returned here in a daze.
Ji Yanran is practicing.
During this period of time, she could feel more and more that she was really not far from breaking through the Spiritual Transformation Realm.
"Xue Rou, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Ji Xueruo walking into the yard with red eyes, Ji Yanran walked over immediately.
"Sister Yanran..."
Ji Xueruo sniffed and couldn't help crying again, as if all her grievances and emotions burst out at this moment.
"Did someone bully you?"
Ji Yanran frowned, but at the same time she started to comfort her, trying her best to calm Ji Xueruo down.
"No, it's Ji Chen. I went to find him."
Ji Xuerou shook her head and then said, "He has really become so strange. He is no longer the Ji Chen he used to be. He is not only mean to me, but also scolds me and curses me."
"Sister Yanran, he has never been like this before."
"It's because of me that he was kicked out of the Ji family, so he hates me so much now."
"Besides, Sister Yanran, do you know?"
"Ji Chen has become very powerful now. I just saw him fighting with someone in the outer sect. An outer sect disciple who was at the third level of the Condensing Veins Realm was defeated by him with just one sword!"
Hearing these words, Ji Yanran was also shocked, with an expression of disbelief on her face, "He defeated a disciple of the third level of Condensing Veins Realm with just one sword?"
How can this be?
Ji Yanran couldn't believe it.
Remember a few days ago, during the entrance examination, Ji Chen was only at the seventh level of the Qi Refining Realm, right?
After leaving the Ji family, no one knew what happened to him.
But it is simply impossible to defeat a master in the Condensing Veins Realm with such cultivation level, not to mention that the master is at the third level of the Condensing Veins Realm.
"It's true, I saw it with my own eyes!"
Seeing Ji Yanran's disbelief, Ji Xueruo said with great certainty, "What he used seemed to be a high-level yellow-level martial art called the Heaven-Severing Sword Technique. Even I could sense some dangerous aura from that sword."
"Heaven-cutting sword technique..."
Ji Yanran was speechless for a while. After a long while, she could not help but said in surprise, "This seems to be a rare high-level sword technique among the outer sects. Ji Chen has only joined Yuhua Sect for a few days, but he has already learned it?"
"This guy, I don't know why he suddenly became so powerful."
“His cultivation has reached the eighth level of Qi Refining Realm, and he has learned a high-level yellow-grade martial art in just a few days.” Ji Xueruo was also very surprised.
Looking back, after leaving the Ji family, he unexpectedly transformed himself from a good-for-nothing young master into an astonishing genius.
This was beyond everyone's expectation.
……
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
During this half month, Ji Chen improved rapidly.
Now, his cultivation has not only successfully entered the ninth level of Qi Refining Realm, but has also reached its peak. It seems that he can take that final step at any time to break through to the first level of Vein Condensation Realm.
This will be an extremely important matter for Ji Chen.
Once one breaks through the Vein Condensation Stage, it means that a Spiritual Vein will be condensed within the Spiritual Sea.
The number of spiritual veins determines a person's strength and talent.
In his previous life, he condensed nine spiritual veins, which is the limit of the human body.
Throughout history, there have been few such people.
"There is still half a month left before the outer sect competition. Half a month..."
"If nothing unexpected happens, I should have successfully broken through to the Condensed Veins Stage by then."
“If I can condense nine spirit veins in the spirit sea like in my previous life, my spirit power and its refinement will be extraordinary. Even without relying on my divine body, I can compete with masters at the fourth or fifth level of the Condensing Veins Realm with my first level of cultivation!”
He spoke confidently.
"You can't neglect the training of martial arts either."
As he said this, Ji Chen took out the wooden sword.
Not long ago, he specially made a scabbard, also made of wood, so that he could use the sword-drawing technique more conveniently.
This most basic sword technique, after Ji Chen's repeated practice for half a month, has already reached the level of perfection.
Although it is only a low-level basic yellow-grade sword technique.
But Ji Chen was confident that with his current level of cultivation, even an ordinary master of the second or third level of the Condensing Veins Realm would be unable to withstand it.
The essence of the so-called sword-drawing technique lies in the moment of drawing the sword.
Drawing the sword is the pinnacle of skill, and it can achieve the effect of defeating the enemy with one strike.
"Buzz!"
He stood under the tree and began to practice sword-drawing.
Draw the sword, put away the sword.
Repeat this process over and over again.
Every time he drew his sword, a sharp sword energy would be swung out, as if cutting through space, sweeping away and finally disappearing into the void.
Ji Chen seemed to be completely immersed in this state and never tired of it.
Gradually, the sword energy that permeated Wangchenju became even more astonishing without anyone noticing.
"Buzz!"
At a certain moment, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in Ji Chen's eyes. In this state of repeated practice, he seemed to have figured something out for a moment.
When he swung his sword again, the power of this sword was nearly doubled.
"Could this be..."
"Sword Intent?!"
He was stunned and a little dazed.
The so-called sword intent is illusory and extremely difficult to comprehend.
Although this has some relationship with talent, it is not much.
If you want to comprehend the meaning of sword, it depends more on chance.
Ji Chen didn't expect that he had unknowingly discovered the existence of sword intent!
He stood still, and his mind began to recall everything that had just happened.
It was a long time before Ji Chen drew his sword again.
"Buzz!"
The space shook slightly, and then the entire Wangchen Residence was shrouded in an astonishing sword-like aura, as if a peerless sword master had descended here.
"What a strong force! This is the sword intention!"
Besides being surprised, Ji Chen couldn't help but feel ecstatic.
After mastering the sword spirit, even the most basic sword-drawing technique could unleash astonishing power in his hands.
This will be another powerful trump card of Ji Chen besides his divine body!
"Ji Chen, are you there?"
Outside the yard, Lin Caier came.
Ji Chen put away the wooden sword and then opened the gate.
"Registration for the outer sect competition has begun. Should we sign up now?" she asked.
"Can we register half a month in advance?" Ji Chen was stunned.
Lin Caier nodded, "I heard that the number of disciples participating in the competition this year is much greater than in previous years, so the sect decided to advance the competition by half a month."
"Okay, call Li Yang and we'll go sign up together." Ji Chen said.
Lin Caier nodded, turned and left.
Not long after, she called Li Yang over, and Ji Chen and the other two left the disciple residence together.
During this period, Chen Ge did recruit some people to join, but their abilities were average, and their character was mostly acceptable.
Among Chen Pavilion, only Ji Chen, Lin Caier and Li Yang will participate in the competition.
As for the others, their cultivation is too low, and most of them are newcomers who joined the sect not long ago. Even if they go, they will only be cannon fodder.
In addition, it is said that nearly half of the disciples will participate in this year's competition, with a number of people as high as thousands, so the competition is extremely fierce.
In the annual competition, only those who rank in the top 20 are qualified to enter the inner gate.
With a thousand people competing for twenty places, you can imagine how fierce the competition is.
