When Chu Xisheng arrived at the Execution God Temple again, he found there was an additional figure in the hall.
However, it was not his new junior sister, but a glowing human-shaped skeleton.
This skeleton was entirely jade-white with brilliant luster, decorated with a multitude of purple-gold patterns, giving it a radiant and opulent appearance.
The soul shadow of the Sealing Blade sat cross-legged in front of the human-shaped skeleton, with threads of blood-red Qi Yuan swirling between the person and the bony fra, looking like a burning fla of blood.
Chu Xisheng walked closer and observed intently, pondering whether this was the avatar body prepared by the Sect for Su Fengdao?
But before he had a chance to examine it closely, Su Fengdao had already glanced over at him with a suprely sharp look.
Boom!
Before Chu Xisheng could react, he was bombarded with a wave of Sword Intent from Su Fengdao, which struck his Primordial Spirit.
——Your Primordial Spirit has absorbed an external Sword Intent. Would you like to use thirty-five Blood Essence Points to activate dream mode, to deeply study the "Three Phases Heavenly Slaughter Blade" and comprehend the Sword Intent?
The number of Blood Essence Points required to activate dream mode had increased. It was ten at first, but now it had beco thirty-five.
One reason was Su Fengdao’s ongoing upping of the ante, and the other was the ever-deeper essence of her Sword Skill, requiring more effort from the System.
When Chu Xisheng’s vision darkened and he entered the dream once more, the situation in front of him was different from the first dream mode.
This ti Su Fengdao stood right in front of him, her long blade pointed at him, full of murderous intent.
Without a second thought, Chu Xisheng imdiately drew his blade to defend.
Sparks flew in front of him, producing a ’clang’ sound.
Starting from twelve days ago, the Three Phases Heavenly Slaughter Blade taught by Su Fengdao had already entered combat mode.
In Su Fengdao’s view, there was no better way to study and master the essence of a Sword Skill than through actual combat.
If Chu Xisheng didn’t have the System or the dream mode, he would have to confront Su Fengdao’s Sword Intent head-on until he refined and erased it.
The dream mode provided by the System was similar, but the mode of confrontation was more complex and comprehensive.
The two of them engaged in fierce combat upon the plaza.
Chu Xisheng not only defended with the Three Phases Heavenly Slaughter Blade but also continuously tried to counterattack,
Based on his past experience, he knew that re defense was useless, it wouldn’t help him refine Su Fengdao’s thread of Sword Intent.
If one of the core essences of "Divine Wind Bright Mirror Blade" was defense—impenetrable, perfectly tight defense—then the "Three Phases Heavenly Slaughter Blade" was about offense—relentless, all-extensive offense.
Chu Xisheng had to study and master the subtleties of Su Fengdao’s Sword Intent through offense and using offense as defense.
Chu Xisheng now also mastered the rhythm of Su Fengdao’s Sword Skill. Not only was his swordmanship more concise, but its speed also varied with his intention.
At its fastest, it was extrely fast, like thunder and lightning; at its slowest, it was extrely slow, as if dragging mud with a snail’s pace.
Therefore, he now swung his blade less frequently, at most only a little over twenty tis in one breath, and yet he could match Su Fengdao evenly.
Su Fengdao’s "Ti Hu Divine Enlightennt" not only imparted the essentials of the Three Phases Heavenly Slaughter Blade, but also allowed him to grasp advanced combat techniques and mysteries of Martial Arts.
Even with spare energy, Chu Xisheng managed to move the battleground toward the large hall in the north.
He wanted to see who exactly was sitting inside the hall? What connection did they have to the System within him?
Unfortunately, the hall was still shrouded in mist, hazy and indistinct, preventing a clear view.
This ti, after an indeterminate duration, Su Fengdao’s figure finally dissipated before Chu Xisheng’s eyes.
Without hesitation, Chu Xisheng used the "Cloud Shadow Instant Body" to flash in front of the large hall.
But before he could rush inside, his consciousness awoke from the dream.
Fuck!
Chu Xisheng cursed inwardly before opening his eyes.
He then discovered another person had appeared in the Execution God Temple.
It was a tall woman with brows like crescent moons and a clear, beautiful face, her skin a healthy wheatish color.
She knelt in front of Su Fengdao, managing a serious and respectful expression, yet her drowsy eyes betrayed a hint of lethargy.
Chu Xisheng was montarily taken aback: "Coach Ye?"
Ye Zhiqiu exchanged glances with him, then awkwardly averted her gaze.
Surprised, Su Fengdao asked, "Instructor? Little Chu, why do you call her instructor?"
"Responding to my master, when I first joined the East State Zhengyang Martial Arts Hall, it was under Coach Ye’s guidance that I studied martial arts."
Chu Xisheng explained, though he looked rather bewildered, "Is Coach Ye the new Disciple accepted by the master?"
That is to say, Coach Ye is now his new junior sister?
How is he to deal with this? His instructor had beco his junior sister.
"I see,"
Su Fengdao nodded with enlightennt, "Ye Zhiqiu is the Sect’s newly selected ’Heaven Punishnt Candidate.’ From today onward, she will start practicing the ’Heavenly Punishnt Sword’ with . As for your identities, it actually doesn’t matter.
In our Formless Divine Skill, even though we advocate that learning does not depend on the order of ti and that the accomplished lead, we also promote respect for teachers and the martial way. You each have your own position."
Ye Zhiqiu imdiately relaxed: "I shall strictly comply with master’s orders."
If she had to call Chu Xisheng her senior brother, that would be quite awkward; Ye Zhiqiu found it difficult to say.
Su Fengdao then glanced at Chu Xisheng, "If you have no other affairs today, you might as well stay and listen. What Ye Zhiqiu learns is the ’Nine Palace Divine Punishnt Sword,’ which is slightly different from your Three Phases Heavenly Slaughter Blade.
Your Sword Skill originates from the phenona of Wind, Thunder, and Cloud, mastering the forces of execution and destruction within them; anwhile, the Nine Palace Divine Punishnt Sword centers around the star constellations of the Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Beichen Middle, Xun, Li, Kun, and Dui Palaces. Although the thods are different, they lead to the sa destination, and you can learn by comparing them, using the stone of another mountain to polish your own jade."
