The sky was full of stars as Xu Nian continuously executed the sword moves of the "Gale Sword Technique" in the courtyard.
Under the illumination of the moonlight, the sword light kept flickering, like dancing spirit snakes.
The main secret of the Gale Sword Technique lies in a single word: "swift."
The sword must be fast, so fast that it forms afterimages.
Three afterimages are considered entry-level, reaching six afterimages is proficient, and nine afterimages would an mastery.
When the afterimages reach twelve layers, it is the ti when the Gale Sword Technique reaches the Subtle Realm.
At present, even with all his might, Xu Nian could only display three afterimages and could not manage to display the fourth.
According to Emperor Ye Tian, the ti when Xu Nian could combine twelve afterimages into one would be the mont when the "Gale Sword Technique" truly achieved Divine Transformation.
However, forming twelve afterimages was easier said than done, even the fourth afterimage already baffled Xu Nian.
It is worth noting that the original "Gale Sword Technique" could only display five afterimages. Forming an afterimage was already considered entry-level; two afterimages signified proficiency, three afterimages were considered mastery, four afterimages reached the Subtle Realm, and five afterimages ant Divine Transformation.
Xu Nian, able to practice three afterimages in just a month, had already matched what others would achieve in a year of hard training.
Yet, Xu Nian was not satisfied; he had to reach the proficient stage of the Gale Sword Technique within these three days so that he would have a greater chance of winning on the Life and Death Platform.
His Xuan Iron Sword continuously swung in his hand, one stroke after another, the sword light dazzling to the eyes.
Below, his feet perford the Gale Dragon Step, moving like a dragon and a snake, constantly changing, making his form elusive.
"Buzz!"
Xu Nian struck a nearby wooden post with his sword, and with a scraping sound, he left three deep sword marks and one shallow sword mark on the post.
One stroke better than four—this was the formidable aspect of the Gale Sword Technique.
Xu Nian looked at the four sword marks on the post, gasping for air, an expression of disappointnt enveloping his heart.
Now, he could only barely manage the fourth afterimage; such shallow sword marks had virtually no offensive effect.
"Kid, your swordsmanship is really too lousy. Having trained for so long and still not reaching the proficient stage, you're losing face for ," stated the figure of Emperor Ye Tian, appearing in front of Xu Nian with a stern face.
Xu Nian could only offer a bitter smile.
Compared to other disciples, his speed was already incredibly outstanding, but in the eyes of Emperor Ye Tian, Xu Nian's comprehension was just diocre.
However, Xu Nian knew that with the high standards of Emperor Ye Tian, having seen many more talented individuals than him, it was normal that he did not catch his eye.
Of course, he was not disheartened; he believed that one day, he would make Emperor Ye Tian look at him with new respect.
"Kid, give your sword. I'll demonstrate this sword technique for you, but I'll only do it once. How much you can comprehend depends on your own understanding," Emperor Ye Tian suddenly said.
Xu Nian was taken aback for a mont, then overjoyed; without any hesitation, he tossed his Xuan Iron Sword over.
Although Emperor Ye Tian was not truly flesh and blood, her Divine Soul was advanced enough that she could still pick up the long sword like a real person.
"Buzz!"
As soon as the Xuan Iron Sword reached Emperor Ye Tian's hands, Xu Nian felt that the sword had changed.
Following that, Emperor Ye Tian began to move, and in an instant, the sound of the sword rang out, with countless sword shadows, and the sword light beca dazzling under the moonlight.
At that mont, Emperor Ye Tian's figure also transford, as if suddenly dozens or hundreds of Emperor Ye Tians appeared in the courtyard, each Emperor Ye Tian brandishing a sword, each blade producing hundreds or thousands of sword shadows, yet it seed like only one sword.
Xu Nian was stunned. Was this still the Gale Sword Technique that he had cultivated?
Why could Emperor Ye Tian wield such miraculous power with it?
Xu Nian couldn't help but close his eyes, striving to recall every move Emperor Ye Tian had made.
Gradually, Xu Nian seed to enter a certain state, and in his mind, the small courtyard disappeared instantly, all the trees and rocks vanished as well, and even the heavens and the earth ceased to exist at that mont; all he could see were Emperor Ye Tian and his sword-dancing figure.
Every move, every detail of Emperor Ye Tian, was observed by him ticulously.
In this way, Xu Nian imrsed himself repeatedly.
Beside him, Emperor Ye Tian had already placed the sword next to Xu Nian's feet and watched Xu Nian falling into a certain state without speaking out.
Because she knew, this state was called enlightennt, and the longer it lasted, the better it was for him, so she wanted to see what exactly Xu Nian would realize.
After an unknown amount of ti had passed, Xu Nian, who had been standing still, suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed the Xuan Iron Sword beside him, starting to dance with it.
The sword sang like a phoenix, and the sword qi surged, creating a gale throughout the courtyard.
And the sword in Xu Nian's hands started moving too, the long sword swaying, splitting into nine, forming nine trails of Sword Intent, each sword shadow exceptionally clear, fierce, and rapid.
"Clang!"
The Xuan Iron Sword slashed past a stone post, leaving nine three-inch deep ravines on it.
Xu Nian, seeing this scene, imdiately rejoiced and said that it was like sword traces, aning he had skipped the proficient level directly to the master level, and the next step would be Subtle Realm.
And the power of this one sword was also three tis greater than before, with nine sword shadows overlapping, creating trendous power.
"Not bad, barely acceptable!" Emperor Ye Tian's voice sounded from the side.
Hearing this, a more brilliant smile appeared on Xu Nian's face.
Getting praise from Emperor Ye Tian was incredibly difficult, and for her to speak such words now was already quite a feat, which ant he really had done very well.
Now that the "Gale Sword Technique" had reached the mastery level, it was ti to absorb the Fiery Fla Demon Tiger's Demon Crystal.
Currently, his Spiritual Cultivation was that of a Six-star Warrior, and after this Cultivation session, there would probably be a rapid improvent, and his cultivation would shock the entire Academy.
"Hum!"
Thinking this, Xu Nian no longer hesitated, took out the Fiery Fla Demon Tiger's Crystal Core, and began to absorb it.
Although he had returned the Hundred Treasure Bag to Lin Yao, he had kept the Fiery Fla Demon Tiger's Crystal Core, so now, absorbing the power of the Demon Beast Crystal Core also expanded the Dan Sea in his Dantian bit by bit.
Ti swiftly moved on to the morning of the third day, and the entire Academy suddenly burst into excitent, everyone flocking to the Life and Death Platform.
And at that mont, the Academy attracted various powers, and important figures from surrounding cities arrived one after another, including the Ouyang Family, Qin Family, and the Tianhai City Lord, among others, who were usually awe-inspiring powers that rushed to Qinglin Academy.
