315: Fish leaps over the dragon gate!
The Four Seas Sect is a very special Sect; it is extremely large and its composition is very complex, consisting of various different islands.
Although there is an Island Master on these islands, within the islands there are also various Families and forces, and their relationships are intertwined.
The strength of some large Families... can even extend to several different islands!
For example, the Feng Family of Dragon Sunflower Island is like this; their influence is not only on Dragon Sunflower Island, but they also have people on other islands, and their words carry a lot of weight.
Where there are people, there will be Jianghu, there will be conflicts of interest, and there will be factions, even within the Four Seas Sect.
As an old member of the Four Seas Sect, Fu Xueping's Fu Family has thrived and multiplied within the Four Seas Sect for generations; when the Fu Family was at its peak, they had considerable influence on the Eighty-Third Island, Canglang Island.
However, due to the decline of the Family, the Fu Family produced several mediocre talents for several consecutive generations, and most of the young Disciples were not up to the task, which also meant that the resources the Fu Family managed to secure became less and less, and their situation became increasingly difficult.
Fortunately, the Fu Family produced Fu Xueping, a Genius Disciple; his Cultivation progressed very quickly, and it wouldn't be long before he could take on the main responsibility and revive the Fu Family.
But just then, Li Qi emerged, becoming a newly promoted Elder of the Four Seas Sect, and he also widely opened his Sect and recruited Disciples; Fu Xueping keenly realized... this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
If he could be fortunate enough to become a Disciple of this Elder and receive his protection and patronage, it would not only be of great benefit to himself... but also to the entire Fu Family!
This Disciple assessment was like a ladder... an important ladder that led directly upwards, allowing access to the core circle of the Four Seas Sect!
For this, Fu Xueping truly went all out.
His mind was rapidly working, constantly deducing and understanding the various intricacies within the Dragon Gate Sword Manual.
Because of Fu Xueping's high concentration and intense mental exertion, he even experienced a slight dizziness.
And his excellent performance also attracted Li Qi's attention; his name was even inquired about by Li Qi, which made him extra surprised and he even more desperately comprehended the Dragon Gate Sword Manual.
First there was Fu Xueping, then more and more Disciples began to understand and master the sword techniques within the Dragon Gate Sword Manual, and gradually people began to get the hang of it.
Aside from Fu Xueping, most of those who first mastered and displayed the sword techniques were Disciples of the World King Realm.
Although the threshold for the Dragon Gate Sword Manual is very low, and Disciples of the Yan Fa Realm can also Cultivate it, after all, Disciples of the World King Realm have much greater insight and foundation than those of the Yan Fa Realm, so they will still have a considerable advantage when Cultivating this sword art, which is unavoidable.
But among everyone, Fu Xueping's performance was undoubtedly the most outstanding; his speed of understanding the Dragon Gate Sword Manual was very fast, even faster than those World King Realm Disciples!
After two incense sticks' worth of time, Fu Xueping had already mastered five different sword forms, completing all Five Elements.
In Li Qi's view, Fu Xueping emitted a rich five-colored light, and five distinctly different auras continuously appeared alternately on Fu Xueping's body.
Fu Xueping's excellent performance not only attracted Li Qi's attention, but many surrounding Disciples also noticed him.
"That Fu Xueping... he Cultivates the Dragon Gate Sword Manual so fast!"
"Isn't that right? He's even faster than those Senior Brothers of the World King Realm, so that's quite impressive."
"Looking at his stance, he'll soon complete a Five Elements rotation and reach the First Rotation Realm of the Dragon Gate Sword Manual."
"This Fu Xueping's Aptitude is truly not simple; why have I never heard of such a person before?"
"I know Fu Xueping's situation; his Family is from Canglang Island, and due to some reasons, the resources his Fu Family obtained were limited, which indirectly slowed down Fu Xueping's growth. Otherwise, he would have been a Senior Brother of the World King Realm long ago."
"So that's what happened; it feels like both Fu Xueping and his Fu Family will rise during this assessment."
"Let's wait and see."
While everyone was discussing, the Five Elements Qi on Fu Xueping's body became increasingly dense; Fu Xueping's eyes widened, and a burst of power suppressed the Five Elements Qi within his body...
Qi Gathering into a ring!
The Five Elements Qi began to gather together, with five distinct auras connecting end to end... forming a Qi ring!
The Five Elements Qi mutually generated and restrained each other, and the Qi ring continuously rotated without cease, with a continuous flow of power feeding back to Fu Xueping from within.
Fu Xueping pointed his fingers like a sword, raised his hand, and slashed out a five-colored Sword Qi!
Five Elements Sword Qi!
This is the mark of the Dragon Gate Sword Manual after the First Rotation; with a casual slash, the five Qi return to one, and the power greatly increases.
This performance made Li Qi nod, and his evaluation of Fu Xueping increased by a few points.
However, completing the First Rotation is nothing; if one's Aptitude is a bit poor, it can be achieved by spending more time. What is difficult is... the Breakthrough between the First and Second Rotations of this sword art!
Fish leaping over the Dragon Gate!
The First Dragon Gate... Leap!
Because this sword art incorporates components of the Dragon Gate Seal, one needs to pay some price to Breakthrough to the next stage.
But correspondingly, once the Realm of the sword technique Breaks through... the power of the sword technique will also greatly increase!
The Five Elements Qi ring within Fu Xueping's body vibrated violently, and its rotation speed also greatly increased, while his physical strength was rapidly depleting.
In just a few breaths, his Five Elements Qi ring expanded and contracted, growing several circles larger, directly Breaking through the First Rotation Realm.
Li Qi nodded slightly: "Not bad; with this, you can begin the Cultivation of the Second Rotation."
And Fu Xueping did not rest at all; he immediately began the Cultivation of the Second Rotation, and increasingly dense Five Elements Qi began to appear on his body, starting to condense into a second Qi ring!
In the square of Emerald Rainbow Jade Island, all Disciples participating in the assessment were desperately Cultivating sword techniques, and one by one, Disciples successively performed the sword forms from the Dragon Gate Sword Manual.
Furthermore, some Disciples also completed the First Rotation and Broke through to the Second Rotation level.
Among all the Disciples, Fu Xueping was undoubtedly the most outstanding one; although his strength was not top-tier, his speed in Breaking through the sword technique Realm was always a step faster than others!
After a little over half a day... Fu Xueping had already reached the Third Rotation of the Dragon Gate Sword Manual!
After one day, Fu Xueping reached the Fourth Rotation level of the Dragon Gate Sword Manual!
The number of people who could reach this Realm in just one day was very few; among a total of over two hundred Disciples, only five reached this Realm.
The time Li Qi gave everyone was too short; even if they wanted to make further Breakthroughs, they were powerless.
"Alright, this Disciple assessment is over."
"The five of you stay, the rest of you may disperse..."
