Chapter 177 Sword Qi
"Soy milk and fried dough sticks, two boiled eggs, and a fresh meat bun."
Chen Mo, carrying a lot of bags, went straight to the city to have breakfast after coming out of the airport.
In order to avoid missing the opening in the afternoon, he made arrangements a lot in advance. As a result, the process from leaving Huanggu Martial Arts Academy to arriving in the city where Jianmen Martial Arts Academy was located was very smooth. There was no traffic jam, the plane was not delayed, and he even arrived ten minutes early.
As a result, he entered the city at only six in the morning, and even the breakfast shops had just opened, so he simply got something to eat before heading to the martial arts academy.
From here, you can see the towering city gate. Chen Mo doesn't even need to ask for directions. He just strolls around like a tourist.
He walked all the way to the entrance of the martial arts academy and sent a message to Kang Long, but the other party did not reply.
He wanted to ask other people, but then he changed his mind and realized that at this time, many people would choose not to practice, but to rest and adjust their condition, so they might not get up at this time.
Hu Mingxuan definitely couldn't be woken up by a phone call, so he simply put his phone in his pocket and went to the martial arts academy to walk around.
"What should I do now?"
Chen Mo thought about it and decided to ask if there was a place similar to the Alchemy Garden in Jianmen Martial Arts Academy. Since he was free anyway, he might as well test it out.
When he entered the martial arts academy, there were not many pedestrians on the street. If there were any people who got up early to practice martial arts, most of them were in places like martial arts training grounds.
Just when he was racking his brains over where to find someone, he saw a long-haired young man walking out from the fork in the path ahead, holding a very long sword in his hand.
As expected of Jianmen Martial Arts Academy, this guy is obviously a swordsman!
Chen Mo ran over happily: "Hello, may I ask, is there a place to test the sword power here?"
The young man looked sleepy, as if he had just gotten up. He pointed to the end of the road and said, "There is a sign at the Sword Testing Stone Mound."
Chen Mo thanked him repeatedly and quickly ran over with his luggage.
The young man waited until he ran far away before he suddenly reacted.
"Hmm? Is that the examinee?"
Chen Mo walked into the Sword-Testing Stone Tomb, and what caught his eye were the jagged rocks that looked like bamboo shoots piercing the sky. Some were only as tall as one person, while others were more than ten meters tall.
He saw an old-looking man on the side of the road. He had a big beard and his clothes looked old, like a homeless person.
Chen Mo asked: "Brother, how do you use this thing?"
The other party looked at him and said kindly: "Just cut them. These stones were brought from the Nether Abyss. No, they are not stones. They will grow on their own."
"What are the specific rules?" Chen Mo asked.
The bearded man smiled and said, "It has to be sharp enough to cut them off. Just a reminder, the higher it is, the harder it is."
Chen Mo asked, "How hard can a third-level Silver Mirror Divine Body be?"
The bearded man smiled even brighter: "Here, the one on your right that's five meters high, try to chop it down."
Chen Mo thanked him again and walked over to try it.
He listened to Gan Qianqian bragging for a long time about the Silver Mirror Divine Body called Bai Lang, and wanted to know if he could break the opponent's defense.
If we can cut off this stalagmite, then we should be pretty sure of success.
He stood still, drew out his dagger, and took a deep breath.
The true energy flows, infuses the blade, contracts, and cuts!
choke!
A green light shot out from the tip of the knife, then flashed away and hit the stalagmite, leaving a hole the size of a fingernail.
Chen Mo had a rough idea of what was going on, so he picked up his luggage and left, nodding to the bearded man before leaving.
The latter waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.
"Brother Wu."
At this moment, a voice came from the side.
The bearded man turned around and looked at the young man who called him: "Xiao Gao, long time no see." "Indeed, I heard from everyone in your martial arts academy that they haven't seen you for a long time."
The bearded man rubbed his nose and said, "There have been a lot of things going on in Mingyuan recently."
The young man said, "Who was that just now? He looked quite young. Was he the newcomer from last year? He doesn't look that good. He can't even cut a five-meter-high stalagmite at this stage."
The bearded man asked with a half-smile, "Do you think he has reached the fourth realm?"
"Yes, he even released his sword energy. But I can't tell what kind of martial arts he practiced." The young man said with disdain, "With this progress, he would be the last among us. How come I didn't know there was such a person?"
The bearded man clicked his tongue and said, "Of course you don't know, because he is here to take the exam."
The young man seemed to be a little disdainful: "Big Brother, if someone else said this, I definitely wouldn't believe it. Even if you said it, I wouldn't believe it. How can you use only the half-style to cut out sword energy?"
"You are stupid."
The bearded man poked him on the head and said, "He didn't even use the half-cut method just now. He just stabbed him randomly."
!
The young man's disdain came to an abrupt end.
If the knife was stabbed out, it would leave a hole on the five-meter-long stalagmite. In other words, even if it could not break the Silver Mirror Divine Body in one blow, it could at least cause some damage.
It would be fine if he used half of the method, but if it was really a casual slash from a person in the third realm, that would be too terrifying. What is he, an innate holy body?
The bearded man stretched lazily and said, "My master sent me here to pick someone. I didn't expect to meet someone like this right after I arrived. Let's wait and see. Don't tell anyone. If others find out, I will beat you up every time I see you in the Underworld."
To be able to slash out with sword energy, one must wait until one has reached the fourth realm and learned the complete technique.
This is how things are in normal cognition, but Chen Mo is not normal after all. He is a person whose four gods have awakened and whose five senses are connected, surpassing common sense.
Now, even if he doesn't use the leaf-piercing knife, he only needs to mobilize his true energy and release it from the blade to create an effect similar to sword energy.
This requires powerful release of true qi, precise control, and strong enough strength.
By using the leaf piercing knife, Chen Mo has a chance to cut off the stalagmite.
However, he thought that he had always been low-key, so he didn't plan to make too much noise.
He was walking on the road and was about to find a place to rest when he suddenly saw a familiar figure in front of him.
"Cui Cui, you got up so early!"
"I'm going to practice."
Huang Cui ran over with a look of surprise on her face, "Did you just arrive?"
"Yeah, I sent a message to Instructor Kang, but he didn't reply."
"He seemed not to be here last night. He will probably be back at noon. You can check in only after he comes back. Do you want to rest? Go to my room. We live alone." Huang Cui's face turned a little red.
Chen Mo was not polite at all: "Let's go! I'm so sleepy."
So he shamelessly ran to Huang Cui's room, leaned on the sofa and planned to take a nap.
The girl was going to practice martial arts, but before she left she put the quilt on Chen Mo.
"Rest assured, I'll come back and call you later."
Chen Mo suddenly felt extremely relieved. If Hu Mingxuan had said this, he would have been worried, afraid that the boy would forget about it. However, Huang Cui's outstanding thing about doing things is her steadiness.
So he tilted his head back and fell asleep. When he woke up again, the sunlight was shining directly on his face through the window, accompanied by the voices of people outside.
At this moment, the door lock made a clicking sound and Huang Cui just came back.
"You're awake. Let's go have some lunch and then meet at the square. The opening time is at one o'clock."
