Chapter 708: Chapter 135: Ninth Stage Sword Dao, Fury! (Two in One)_3
When he saw that familiar face, he was stunned for a mont, the fierceness in his eyes vanished imdiately, and then his gaze landed on the hands of the youth.
When he saw the other party seriously carving a piece of wood, he was sowhat dazed, and then speechless.
He had thought that the other party’s obsession with the Artistic Path was enough, but now he had even taken up carving?
Good grief, not practicing while alone, yet still having the mind to do these things. How did he achieve the Ninth Stage Dao Domain?
He observed for a mont and saw that Li Hao’s carving was quite spirited, obviously not a re hobby of one or two days. It wasn’t possible without dedicated research.
He shook his head, the Sword Master sowhat helplessly withdrew his gaze.
...
He had encountered countless people, but had never seen an odd fellow like this youngster.
The kind of tranquil and profound temperant on the other party was not feigned, but naturally cultivated.
“Who knows which old geezer reincarnated, appearing in the Sword Ancestor Holy Land, mysteriously guided. It wouldn’t be so of those old fellows of mine, would it? Haven’t seen them in a while, could it be that one of them has already undergone nirvana?”
The Sword Master muttered.
Having not seen those old friends for a long ti, they usually connected spiritually, but faced with a real eting, there was nothing to say, after all, everything had been talked out in earlier years.
He planned to find ti to visit those old folks, in case soone had reincarnated without making a sound, and he didn’t even know about it.
At another part of Green Peak Hall on the top of Saint Mountain.
Inside the hall, the Sword Saint, dressed in snow-golden clothes, sat under a giant sophora tree in the courtyard, watching the woman practicing swordsmanship under the moonlight.
She was displaying her Ice and Snow Sword Intent, her offensive fierce, turning a three-zhang radius into an ice and snow domain.
“Your Ice and Snow Sword Dao has hit a bottleneck.”
The Sword Saint instantly saw the problem, he had noticed during the dayti competition that her Sword Intent was off track.
Hearing her master’s words, Bian Ruxue put away her sword and said modestly, “Please enlighten , Master.”
The Sword Saint smiled and said, “You need not be disheartened. For soone of your age to grasp this extent, although my teaching plays a part, your own perception isn’t bad either, and you had a solid foundation as a child.”
Bian Ruxue had won her battle during the day, although with difficulty, which made her feel defeated.
Now, hearing the Sword Saint, and the words “as a child”, her thoughts were involuntarily pulled back to that courtyard.
The child who was playing chess over the chessboard, who had casually corrected the flaws in her sword practice on the martial arts field.
Jian Wudao, her master, had also said her swordsmanship foundation was solid.
Little did she know, that was because she had t a swordsmanship prodigy.
Sadly, that prodigy later strayed.
Bian Ruxue collected her thoughts and then heard her master continue:
“The essence of Ice and Snow Sword Intent is not sharpness, but condensation!”
The Sword Saint said, “In your previous fight with Lin Qingyue, her sword intent was of utmost gentleness, which is about dispersion, while Ice and Snow Sword Intent is about condensation!”
“At its extre, its power absolutely surpasses that of dispersion.”
“Both Sword Intents have different inclinations, just like so swordsmanship leans towards defense, so towards attack. The utmost gentle Sword Intent is weak in attack but solid in defense, although this is also relative. Before, your defeat to her was also due to this; your Sword Intent was behind hers.”
Bian Ruxue nodded slightly, understanding her master’s aning – if both Sword Intents were at Great Accomplishnt, her Sword Intent would be even more fierce and dominant, capable of suppressing the opponent.
“About condensation…”
Bian Ruxue murmured to herself, a flash of inspiration seeming to flicker in her mind.
The Sword Saint wanted to say more, but suddenly, his expression changed, and he let out a light yelp.
Soone dared to spy on him?
His eyes emitted a sharp ray of light as he turned his head to look, his gaze seeming to penetrate millions of miles, and soon caught sight of a small courtyard.
When he saw the youth in that small courtyard, his carving knife flying as he carved out his upper body, he was montarily stunned.
“Master?”
Bian Ruxue saw the Sword Saint’s abnormal reaction, inevitably puzzled.
The Sword Saint focused his gaze for a mont, then withdrew it.
He figured out that the other party lived behind Lin Shanhai’s Pill Refining Institute, likely closely related. The other party carving him wasn’t really an offense, more likely it was out of admiration.
Such situations weren’t strange to him, but the other party being able to discern his spirit while carving was sowhat unexpected.
Only with extre admiration would one observe so carefully, but he could tell that the other wasn’t admiring, rather, he had great expertise in carving, which led to capturing his spirit.
If it was admiration, he would have felt the scent of faith emanating from the person.
A Saint could see through his own devotees at a glance, and Li Hao was not one of his devotees.
“It’s nothing, just a youngster, skilled in carving.”
The Sword Saint said indifferently, unfazed and unangered.
“Carving?”
Bian Ruxue was puzzled, but didn’t think much about it, only recalling the chess-loving child.
That person by now, should have beco a Chess Saint… a bitter smile erged on Bian Ruxue’s lips.
…
Li Hao didn’t know that carving a Saint would get him investigated, he was still concentrating on his carving.
As his experience gradually approached a full Sixth Stage, ti swiftly moved to the next day.
Lin Qingyue and Lin Shanhai went to watch the competition as usual, while Li Hao had no interest, staying in the courtyard to continue his research in carving.
When he really felt tired, he would go fishing with the Sword Master.
On Saint Mountain, the battle was fierce. After intense fighting, two individuals stood out, cutting back from the loser’s group to the top ten.
These two were Qiu Wuheng and Bian Ruxue.
After another three days of rest, the top ten battles began.
This ti Lin Qingyue also joined the fight, and Li Hao accompanied Lin Shanhai to watch the competition.
