Chapter 15 Autumn Leaf Slash
Chapter 15 Autumn Leaf Slash
The City Lord was afraid that Wang Xiaoyun would attack Xiang Nan in public, so he came up with this idea.
This made everyone overjoyed! The city lord's own cultivation technique was actually going to be taken out for others to learn! Every single one of those precious cultivation techniques was priceless.
"We can't use it here. Let's go to the main courtyard." The City Lord immediately ordered people to retrieve their cultivation methods and invited everyone to go to the open space.
After hearing this news, all the families in the main courtyard were overjoyed. Even young people who knew that their talent was inferior to others would squeeze their heads open to participate in this competition.
Even if I lose, what's the harm? After all, he had seen the cultivation technique. Remember, he would quickly write it down when he returned home.
Soon, the main courtyard was emptied of a large area, and on a table at the scene, three cultivation techniques were placed by the City Lord!
Looking at the three cultivation technique manuals, everyone present was restless. They rubbed their fists and were eager to try. Some even took a few large mouthfuls of tea. No matter what, they had to memorize as many cultivation technique manuals as possible!
The City Lord stood behind the table and said, "These three cultivation techniques are not of very high grade. The first one is a low-grade Spirit Stage, the second one is a mid-grade Spirit Stage, and the third one is a high-grade Spirit Stage."
Hearing this, everyone's blood immediately boiled! Heavens, all of them are spiritual cultivation techniques!
At this moment, the City Lord took out a stick of incense and said, "Let's set a time limit of one stick of incense. Even if the person who learns a cultivation technique within the time limit wins, he can participate in the second round of the competition, learn the second cultivation technique, and so on."
"In that case, all the geniuses and youths who won the town election should come and participate."
Everyone cheered happily. Spiritual grade cultivation techniques were extremely rare. A clan like the Wang Clan, the Li Clan, and the Mo Clan, probably only had three books and five books. If they memorized these three books today, it would be a great harvest.
Looks like the City Lord has really invested a lot of money.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Nan suddenly spoke. He looked at Wang Xiaoyun and said, "It's just that it's too boring to compete with the winner of the town election."
"Brother Xiaoyun, since you want to make things difficult for me, why don't you join us?"
"Xiang Nan." The City Lord's expression changed slightly as he whispered, "You're crazy! Wang Xiaoyun is a core disciple of Chihuo Sect. Do you need me to remind you of his comprehension?"
Xiang Nan only smiled and didn't say anything, but Wang Xiaoyun laughed and stared at Xiang Nan, "Are you sure? Do you really want to humiliate yourself?"
Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Then let's invite Brother Xiaoyun to humiliate me. How about it?"
"Alright!" Wang Xiaoyun raised his robe and walked to the center of the arena. "Today, I will meet you, you ignorant brat!"
The City Lord loved and hated Xiang Nan. He loved Xiang Nan for his courage and courage, and hated him for the same reason.
Immediately, the City Lord let the two hundred and forty winners of the town selection, together with Wang Xiaoyun himself, enter the reception hall. The rest of the idle people stayed in the courtyard.
The City Lord held the first cultivation technique in his hand. Two hundred and forty-one people formed a circle. The City Lord personally read out the incantation of this cultivation technique. Everyone immediately comprehended it after listening to it.
Hearing the incantation chanted by the City Lord, two hundred of the two hundred and forty people revealed expressions of embarrassment.
Xiang Nan listened to the cultivation method and laughed in his heart. This cultivation method was quite strange. It was very different from ordinary cultivation methods, so it was naturally extremely difficult for ordinary people to learn it.
However, he was knowledgeable. To him, this cultivation technique sounded like a child's play.
On the other hand, Wang Xiaoyun had a calm expression. After all, he had seen a high-level cultivation technique in Chihuo Sect, so he had some ability.
After the City Lord finished reading the cultivation technique, he said, "This cultivation technique is called the Blue Cloud Sword. If you want to learn it to great success, it will take at least one to three years."
"My request is very simple. You only need to learn within one incense stick to reach a small success. Even if you follow suit, you only need to not lose the essence of the Blue Cloud Sword to pass the test."
"Alright, everyone, let's go out."
Arriving at the courtyard, the City Lord held a long sword in his hand and said, "I will use the three moves of the Blue Cloud Sword on the spot for everyone to judge."
As he spoke, the City Lord pointed at a tree in the courtyard and said, "The first stance of the Blue Cloud Sword, Autumn Leaf Slash!"
"If you want to do a drill, you must stand within my limits."
The City Lord drew a straight line on the ground, and then threw a fallen leaf into the sky. The straight line was exactly ten meters away from the fallen leaf.
Immediately after, the Yuan Qi of the sword in his hand condensed and slashed out. The Yuan Qi condensed into a sword light and sliced open the fallen leaves with a whoosh!
Everyone was filled with envy. That was the sword light! Only those who were activated by Yuan Qi could be called sword radiance, while those who were activated by the first weather could only be called sword qi.
After the fallen leaves fell to the ground, the pupils of everyone who knew something about martial arts contracted!
The fallen leaf was actually sliced in half by a single sword strike. Not only was the place where it was broken very smoothly, it was almost incomplete!
One had to know that sword qi or sword light could be easily hacked out, but when the sword qi and sword light hit a fallen leaf, basically all of the leaves would be destroyed.
However, the fallen leaves were neatly divided into two halves. This required that the sword qi and sword light must be refined! Be careful!
It's the same as hacking a leaf with an axe. The leaf must have been smashed. Only by cutting a leaf with a steel needle can the leaf be preserved so intact.
Seeing this, everyone clapped their hands and applauded, while the youths participating in the competition all had bitter expressions on their faces.
"Let's begin." After the City Lord finished his drill, he lit a stick of incense.
Many youths were each assigned a sword, so they began to practice on the spot with all sorts of hands and feet.
Only two people did not hold a sword, one was Xiang Nan, the other was Wang Xiaoyun.
Xiang Nan had gone through the Autumn Leaf Slash's incantation once in his mind, and he already knew what to do. This move was to highly condense the Primordial Weather or Yuan Qi, compress the strike surface of the sword qi and sword light to the narrowest, and strive to obtain the sharpest cutting effect.
Sword? It's just a carrier. The true essence lies in the way Yuan Qi circulates.
Xiang Nan sat down cross-legged, and the Xiantian in his body moved according to the unique way the Autumn Leaf Slash operated.
Wang Xiaoyun stood on the same spot and used a finger to draw, as if he was groping for something.
The parents of those clans were all sweating for their clan's younger generation.
After an incense stick, the City Lord asked all the participants to practice the Autumn Leaf Slash on the spot.
The expressions of the youths were awkward. It was obvious that they had not learned it, so they could only brave it.
A youth walked forward and stood in a straight line. He held a sword in his hand and condensed the weather into a sword. Then, he slashed out with his sword.
However, the fallen leaves thrown out of the sky by the City Lord did not follow a fixed trajectory. The youth's sword qi actually failed to hit the fallen leaves!
"Failed." The City Lord shook his head. He didn't even touch the leaves and was eliminated.
The next youth was even more exaggerated. His sword qi was actually more than ten feet away from the fallen leaves!
"Failed." The City Lord shook his head.
Afterwards, of the 241 people, 210 were actually cleaved!
The spectators were all confused. If one were to say that their clan's juniors were considered outstanding, how could they not even be able to cut the leaves?
"Autumn Leaf Slash is still too difficult for you. You have to do your best to compress the width of your sword qi. This will make it difficult for your sword qi to remain stable," sighed the City Lord.
