Chapter 376: Chapter 8 Qingya Terrace Sword Duel (Unity)_2
Only a space as vast and close to the natural environnt could satisfy the demands of sword cultivators’ dueling.
Before even reaching Qingya Terrace, Lu Qingshan could already see from afar a large area where dozens of sword cultivators were dueling, sword lights diverging, and continuous sword shadows creating a bustling scene.
It is known, as Ji Chuan said, that the Sword Sect disciples below Void Refining were no more than three hundred in number.
But here, Lu Qingshan had just glanced and found that there were close to seventy sword cultivators.
This was already one fourth of the total number.
The reputation of sword cultivators for being combative was indeed not an unearned, false charge.
Lu Qingshan thought this to himself.
Upon reaching Qingya Terrace, Lu Qingshan saw thousands of green bamboo swords arranged next to the cliff on one side of the large terrace.
There were all kinds of styles, including so that could differentiate into dozens of tiny swords.
These bamboo swords were indeed just bamboo swords, carved from the most common bamboo without a hint of spiritual nature.
These bamboo swords were the designated swords for dueling on Qingya Terrace.
The rationale was not hard to explain.
The moves of sword cultivators were often extrely dangerous, and all sword cultivators had a very strong competitive spirit, especially the disciples of the Sword Sect.
If not restricted, by the ti two sword cultivators determined a winner in their duel, it would either result in death or severe injury.
The Sword Sect did not allow its disciples to engage in such fratricidal battles and internal weakening.
Therefore, they devised such a thod.
The swords used in a duel must be the bamboo swords from Qingya Terrace, which could minimize the possibility of soone accidentally injuring their fellow disciples.
After all, how could the lethality of a bamboo sword compare to a sword cultivator’s life-bound sword?
The determination of victory or defeat in a duel was even simpler.
Whoever’s bamboo sword was destroyed was the loser of the duel, and both parties should imdiately stop and end the duel.
……
Lu Qingshan casually picked a bamboo sword and planted it in the ground in front of him, then stood and quietly waited.
As Ji Chuan said, being a newly admitted disciple, his cultivation was the lowest within the Sword Sect.
At this ti, all the sword cultivators on Qingya Terrace were Nascent Soul cultivators, and him being of Golden Core cultivation made him quite the anomaly.
In such a situation, few would choose to duel with him.
Because a Nascent Soul fighting a Golden Core was hardly considered a proper spar but teaching through the sword was more appropriate.
Thus, Lu Qingshan was very straightforward, posing in a dueling stance, neither humble nor arrogant, quietly waiting to see if any senior brother would decide to play with him.
His presence quickly attracted so cultivators’ attention.
Because his Golden Core cultivation was too conspicuous.
If they rembered correctly, within the Sword Sect at this ti, the only other Golden Core cultivators were those new disciples brought back from the Seven Domains discourse by the master of Vastness Peak.
Focusing on this reputation, quite a few Nascent Soul sword cultivators beca interested.
A tall sword cultivator, holding a slender bamboo sword, approached Lu Qingshan, looked him over, and introduced himself, “I am He Yi, are you the new disciple who joined the Sword Sect as a winner of the Seven Domains discourse?”
“Indeed.” Lu Qingshan responded politely.
“What was your ranking?” He Yi asked with eyes sparkling with curiosity.
“Modestly, I just managed to secure the first place.”
He Yi clapped his hands lightly and laughed heartily, “I had heard that the winner of this Seven Domains discourse joined our Sword Sect, didn’t expect it to be you.
You have indeed elevated the na of our Sword Sect, so today I’ll spar with you for a few rounds, just as a way to introduce you, a new brother, to our ways of the sword.”
This conversation also attracted a few pairs of sword cultivators who had just beco free.
Influenced by the prestige of being the winner of the Seven Domains discourse, those who had planned to leave Qingya Terrace also paused and stayed.
They too were curious about the techniques of this disciple who had remarkably secured the first place in the Seven Domains discourse.
He Yi moved back nearly a hundred yards.
He was giving Lu Qingshan space to unsheathe his flying sword.
“Junior brother, shall we begin?” He Yi called out from a distance.
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly.
“Here I co!” He Yi shouted, a deliberate reminder to Lu Qingshan.
At the sa ti, He Yi pointed from afar and with a thought, the bamboo sword in front of him shot explosively towards Lu Qingshan, wrapped in a layer of dense Spiritual Power to protect the bamboo sword.
Of course, He Yi did not use his full strength but only applied about sixty percent, showing so rcy.
After all, if he flipped Lu Qingshan with one stroke, it would defy his original intention.
To his surprise, this good-looking junior brother didn’t move the bamboo sword planted in the ground in front of him; instead, from his body erged twenty vaguely blood-tinted Sword Qi Filants.
He Yi was exceptionally talented and broadly experienced; the mont his controlled bamboo sword collided with Lu Qingshan’s twenty Sword Qi Filants, he understood Lu Qingshan’s intention.
This little junior brother indeed ca to Qingya Terrace to practice the sword.
Thinking this in his heart, but considering this little junior had brought honor to the Sword Sect, He Yi’s attitude remained very friendly.
“Then I’d waste so ti to spar with you.”
With this thought, He Yi again pulled back by thirty percent of his force, confronting Lu Qingshan’s flying-like Sword Qi Filants.
After just a couple more moves, surprise rose in He Yi’s heart.
This little junior brother’s Sword Qi Filants were solid and exceedingly sharp.
