83: Sword Qi! Sword Pool!

It wasn't that Yu Qianqian's talent was lacking; it was simply that Lu Sheng's talent was too abnormal!

Yu Qianqian, being accepted as a disciple by a Sword Immortal, naturally possessed unique aspects to her Sword Dao talent.

As for Lu Sheng... his Sword Dao talent was even more Heaven-Defying.

Lan Zhan originally thought that even if Lu Sheng's Sword Dao talent was impressive, it wouldn't be much better than Yu Qianqian's.

Until... Lu Sheng only took less than an hour to Breakthrough from Sword Dao Major Achievement to Sword Dao Perfection.

This speed... had already exceeded Lan Zhan's understanding.

In Lan Zhan's estimation, Yu Qianqian would take about half a month to Breakthrough to the Sword Intent Realm, and once she broke through Sword Intent, she would quickly complete the subsequent four parts of the training.

Completing the five parts of specialized training within a month would not be an issue.

Although Lu Sheng's Breakthrough from Sword Dao Major Achievement to Perfection was faster, if he didn't have the Sword Intent Realm for the subsequent training, it would take a longer time to complete.

Their speeds should have been similar.

But now... Lan Zhan fell silent.

It was the first time he had been silenced by a miscalculation of his own.

Even when he was in the [Thunder] squad, he had never made a miscalculation, yet he made a mistake with Lu Sheng.

“This kid... is too much of a Prodigy!”

Lan Zhan gnashed his teeth.

Breaking the limits that no one in the Great Xia Human Clan could reach was one thing, but his Sword Dao talent was also so Heaven-Defying... How could anyone live like this?

“Old Sword Saint really did find a good successor!”

Elder Li sighed deeply from the side.

Then, he glanced at Lan Zhan beside him and said softly.

“Remember my words, this batch of theirs... might be the Star Academy's most promising batch!”

“At all... costs!”

After speaking, Elder Li's figure vanished directly from the room, as if he had never appeared.

Lan Zhan took a deep breath, looking at the five screens.

After pondering for a moment, he found a staff member and adjusted Yu Qianqian's training plan.

He lowered the first part, from the Sword Intent Realm, to the scope of nurturing a wisp of Sword Qi.

“This way... the progress should be similar, right?”

Lan Zhan leaned against the table, looking at the screen, and said with some uncertainty.

He didn't know why, but he had a premonition.

Perhaps... Lu Sheng would once again shatter his understanding!

...Valley Sword Pool.

Lu Sheng slowly walked towards the Sword Pool, but the closer he got to the Sword Pool, the sharper the edge between heaven and earth became.

So much so that Lu Sheng even felt his skin being scraped painfully by this sharp Qi.

“The intensity of the Sword Qi is too high. I clearly have a Physical Body at Body Refining Third Layer, but facing this Sword Qi, I still can't quite grasp it!!”

Lu Sheng's expression was slightly solemn.

Sword Qi, as the most important means of killing for a swordsman, naturally possessed extremely terrifying power.

Although the intensity of Sword Qi was determined by the swordsman's Cultivation and Sword Dao Realm.

However... even the weakest Sword Qi had a destructive power comparable to a Hundred Meridians Realm Martial Artist!

Therefore, even though Lu Sheng's Physical Body had already reached the Early Stage of Body Refining Third Layer.

He still felt very uncomfortable in a world so rich with Sword Qi.

“Comprehending Sword Qi...”

Lu Sheng pondered for a moment.

According to the records in Kong Yunchang's Hidden Dragon Formless Sword, the best way to nurture Sword Qi within one's body was to absorb the Sword Qi between heaven and earth.

Forcibly containing it within one's body.

Then, according to one's will, gradually refine that wisp of Sword Qi within the body.

Finally, transform that wisp of Sword Qi into the desired form.

Only then could it be considered truly nurturing Sword Qi within the body.

“But this Sword Qi entering the body...”

Lu Sheng looked at the Sword Pool in front of him, involuntarily taking a deep breath.

Taking such sharp Sword Qi into one's body, this pain would be quite difficult for people to accept!

However... “If I want to become stronger, this is the only path!”

Lu Sheng took a deep breath.

Enduring the extremely sharp sensation, he took a step forward.

The moment Lu Sheng took that step, a faint golden glow instantly flickered on his skin, as if a thin golden veil had been draped over his skin.

Clang, clang, clang!!!

Wisps of wind, carrying subtle Sword Qi, instantly landed on Lu Sheng's body.

The golden skin resisted the wisps of Sword Qi between heaven and earth, which prevented Lu Sheng from suffering too much damage.

Yet, even so, as Lu Sheng's steps advanced, and he got closer and closer to the Sword Qi.

The sharp Sword Qi between heaven and earth also began to become even more potent.

So much so that even with the enhancement of the golden skin, Lu Sheng felt a tingling sensation on his skin, as if he couldn't quite bear this terrifying power.

“Hoo!”

Lu Sheng exhaled a long breath, his brows tightly furrowed. Finally, after walking a few more steps, he sat down cross-legged about twenty meters from the Sword Pool.

“Even though my Sword Dao is at Perfection now, it's still difficult to enter the Sword Pool.”

“To enter the Sword Pool, I either need to improve my Cultivation, or... Cultivate the Hidden Dragon Formless Sword to improve my Sword Dao Realm!”

Lu Sheng murmured, a glint flashing in his eyes.

After a brief moment of contemplation, the Cultivation method of the Hidden Dragon Formless Sword appeared in Lu Sheng's mind.

In his mind, a faint golden figure seemed to begin practicing according to the Hidden Dragon Formless Sword's method.

The Hidden Dragon Formless Sword was divided into several Realms!

Hidden Dragon!

Entering the Abyss!

Exiting the Abyss!

Dragon Transformation!

Formless!

A full five Realms!

And within each Realm, there were several smaller Realms.

The Hidden Dragon Realm alone was divided into three parts!

The first part was to condense one's own Hidden Dragon Sword Qi!

The second part was to use Hidden Dragon Sword Qi as the Foundation to comprehend one's own Hidden Dragon Sword Intent!

As for the third part... it was to create a true Hidden Dragon, condensed from Hidden Dragon Sword Qi, within one's body!

Only when all three parts were completely Cultivated could one be considered to have reached Perfection in the Hidden Dragon Realm of the Hidden Dragon Formless Sword!

According to Senior Sister Kong Xin, even Cultivating the Hidden Dragon Realm to Perfection was enough to be an invincible existence below the Bone Forging Realm!

“Hidden Dragon Sword Qi, huh...”

Lu Sheng murmured softly. After taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes and began to silently follow the method of the Hidden Dragon Formless Sword, attempting to capture the Sword Qi between heaven and earth and draw it into his body.

To create Sword Qi, one either comprehended it with absolute talent, or one used the simplest method of capturing the Sword Qi of heaven and earth and integrating it into the body.

Thereby... refining the Sword Qi and creating one's own Hidden Dragon Sword Qi!
