Chapter 8: Guidance
arge group of people ran towards the gate of the garrison. Besides Wan Chong and the two hall masters, there was also an old man with a goat beard, who was the military advisor of the Black Eagle Gang...Outside the Zhenwu Pavilion, hundreds of people had already gathered, including Su Yuning, all their eyes fixed on the lanterns illuminating the black tower.
When even the head of Lian Chi Long Lou, Yuan Qing, was alarmed, they realized that the one trespassing in Zhen Wu Ge must have done something extraordinary.
As expected, they saw one after another lamp tower light up.
The ninth floor, the tenth floor, the eleventh floor...
To the very end, even all fourteen levels of tower lamps were lit.
Everyone was stunned.
Even the vast square fell silent, a profound stillness descended upon it!
They were all immersed in unprecedented horror and disbelief.
"The fourteenth floor..." Su Yining opened her mouth.
She originally thought that Su Xin took a long time to break through the eighth level, subconsciously feeling that he wouldn't even be able to pass the ninth level. But who would have thought...
He was unaware that before challenging the twelfth floor, Su Xin hadn't taken it seriously at all. He had merely been casually drawing his sword to 'play' with the battle puppets, which is why it took him a little longer. Remember the URL
“Having cleared the fourteenth level of the Zhenwu Pavilion, his skills are already comparable to, or even surpassing, those of ordinary Void-Breaking Realm experts. Such a peerless genius in terms of skill is probably unparalleled in the entire Tianyan Dynasty today,” someone exclaimed in amazement beside him.
And at that moment, the fourteen pagoda lamps atop Zhenwu Pavilion simultaneously extinguished, and the gate of Zhenwu Pavilion also opened.
"Look!"
He's out!
All eyes instantly turned towards the direction of the tower gate.
Wow!
The figure above the void also landed directly in front of the tower gate.
Su Xin walked out of Zhenwu Pavilion and immediately felt countless scorching gazes on him.
These eyes were indeed "fiery," brimming with unabashed shock, awe, and envy.
To have cleared the fourteenth level of the Zhenwu Pavilion in the True Martial Realm is simply inconceivable.
"Greetings, young friend. Yuan Qing, with a head of white hair, stood before Su Xin, a gentle smile on his face. "Old man Yuan Qing, the manager of the Red Dragon Pavilion in Yongning County,"
Yuan Qing nodded, the manager of Su Xin.
"May I ask your esteemed name, friend" Yuan Qing asked.
Kenichi entrusted his hopes to Susumu.
This was already something he had planned before deciding to enter the Zhenwu Pavilion.
"Jian Yi" Yuan Qing's heart skipped a beat. He immediately understood that this was just an alias, and knowing Su Xin didn't intend to reveal his identity, he naturally didn't ask any further.
“Xiaoyou has passed the fourteenth level of Zhenwuge. Such a performance deserves to be awarded the 'Earth Grade' token of our Chi Long Lou.” Yuan Qing handed a gilded token to Su Xin. The token was inscribed with "Chi Long" in flamboyant characters.
"What level are we talking about" Su Xin raised an eyebrow.
The Chi Long Lou has four types of tokens called "Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang," representing different levels of authority within the Chi Long Lou.
Among them, the 'Huangji' token has the lowest level of permissions, but it can also ask the Chulonglou to do some small things.
And the highest level 'Heavenly' token has great authority. Under normal circumstances, the owner of a 'Heavenly' token can directly request to enter the highest level 'Genius Training Camp' of the Heavenly Flame Dynasty for cultivation, and they can receive free cultivation from a large amount of resources provided by the Heavenly Flame Dynasty.
However, the 'Heavenly Rank' token is too difficult to obtain. It can only be earned by clearing the 15th floor of the Zhenwu Pavilion or by clearing the 3rd floor of the Dragon Seeking Tower during the Huahai Realm. Even those geniuses are only likely to appear in the entire Tianyan Imperial Dynasty every few years, or even decades.
Su Xin had passed the fourteenth level of Zhenwu Pavilion, which was already astonishing. However, he was still a little short of the requirements for the 'Heavenly' token.
"The local badge, was enough. Su Xin accepted the badge and felt a surge of joy."
"Little friend, according to the rules, you have obtained the Earth-Rank token, so within my Azure Dragon Tower, you will have very high authority. If you need anything and want the Azure Dragon Tower to assist you, or if you need some resources or treasures, just ask. As long as it is within your authority, the Azure Dragon Tower will satisfy your request."
Yuan Qing smiled, "However, the Chīlóng Building won't interfere with your growth process. That is to say, if you encounter danger or enemies during your growth, the Chīlóng Building will not step in."
I understand. Su Xin nodded.
The Red Dragon Building wouldn't interfere with the growth of geniuses. In fact, for the Red Dragon Building, some appropriate dangers or potential enemies are justru a honing experience for these geniuses, so they wouldn't mind.
"I do need some top-grade Gathering Spirit Pills right now, Su Xin'ao."
"A top-grade Spirit Gathering Pill" Yuan Qing laughed.
The Ultimate Gathering Spirit Pill, because of its high rank, has an extremely low refining rate, making it very rare and precious. However, in reality, the Ultimate Gathering Spirit Pill is only useful for martial artists at the True Martial Realm. For martial artists above the Sea Transformation Realm, its use is limited.
So, in the eyes of the powerful figures in the Tianyan Imperial Dynasty, top-grade Gathering Spirit Pills were not considered precious resources at all. With Su Xin's current 'earth-level' authority, obtaining some top-grade Gathering Spirit Pills would naturally be no problem.
"How many coins do you want, young friend" Yuan Qing asked.
"About twenty," Su Xindao.
He didn't want too much, twenty top-grade Gathering Spirit Pills were enough for him to spend freely in the True Martial Realm, and when he broke through to the Sea Transformation Realm, these top-grade Gathering Spirit Pills would be useless.
Yuan Qing immediately ordered the attendants of Chi Long Lou to do so.
"Young friend, please wait a moment. This old man has already had someone prepare it, and the pills will be delivered to you soon," Yuan Qing said.
"Thank you," Su Xin said with a slight smile.
...and just then…
A gentleman, a graceful figure walked over.
"Ning Jie" Su Xin's face was strange, the person who came was Su Yu Ning.
Su Jiayuan, Su Yuning respectfully requests guidance from the master. Su Yuning clasped his hands around his sword and bowed deeply, his posture extremely humble.
Suddenly, there was a commotion around.
They all couldn't help but admire Su Yuning, she was truly brave.
You need to know that this mysterious swordsman named 'Jian Yi' right in front of us just cleared the fourteenth floor of Zhenwu Pavilion. His swordsmanship is probably unmatched in the entire Tianyan Empire among those in the True Martial Realm, while Su Yuning couldn't even pass the ninth floor. The gap between them is simply too vast, several levels apart.
The gap was so wide, in theory, one should only look up in admiration. But Su Yuning dared to step forward and earnestly request guidance from the other party.
……
Su Yuning still bowed her head, her beautiful face biting her silver teeth.
She also knew that approaching now was a bit presumptuous, but she still mustered her courage.
After all, she was a swordsman too, and the other party's swordsmanship was something she had never seen before. At least within the Su family, there was absolutely no one else with such a high level of swordsmanship. She really didn't want to miss this opportunity to learn from them in person.
Su Xin looked at Su Yuning quite strangely, but after a while, he nodded and lowered his voice, "Alright, I agree to you"
Su Yunning was instantly delighted.
Everyone around, including Yuan Qing, was astonished.
They all didn't expect that Mr. "Kenichi," who clearly already had a superior status, would actually agree to give pointers.
"Hah!"
Su Yu Ning let out a light sigh, first retreating a certain distance while drawing her long sword. "Master, your cultivation is at the True Martial Eighth Layer Realm, then I will also suppress my power to this level."
Although he took action, Su Xin remained relaxed and carefree.
Wow!
Su Yuning drew her sword, a brilliant sword shadow flaring to life. The surrounding air seemed to be filled with falling snowflakes.
"Flying Snow Swordsmanship" Su Xin smiled.
Su Yuning was using the Flying Snow Sword Technique of the Su family, and Su Xin was very familiar with this sword technique.
One after another, sword shadows appeared, like falling snowflakes attacking relentlessly. Su Xin simply stood there, drawing his sword casually. He didn't use any sword techniques, just simple swings, but each one accurately struck the weak points of the 'snowflakes,' causing them to dissipate.
"Wow, that's amazing!"
Su Yuning gasped in astonishment, and immediately unleashed the strongest sword technique from her Flying Snow Swordsmanship... the Slashing Snow Style!
The Zanxue Style consists of nine swords, each sword faster than the last.
Su Yunning had practiced this swordsmanship for years and could already perform eight consecutive strikes.
He was well aware of the terrifying swordsmanship of this "Jian Yi" before him, so he went all out directly, unleashing eight swords simultaneously.
As a result, Su Xin remained rooted to the spot, not taking a single step forward. He still employed his simple sword technique, and with each clash of steel, eight streaks of dazzling sword light were deflected by him.
"So simple, you just blocked my Eight Swords of Slashing Snow" Su Yu Ning was incredibly surprised.
"Show me your strongest swordsmanship, Su Xin," he said.
"Sir, please be careful."
Su Yunning's face was flushed, but her figure rose directly, looking down from above. Her stunning beauty resembled a phoenix descending to earth. The long sword in her hand slashed out smoothly, and with a whoosh, a bright light surged.
"So beautiful!"
Those watching from the sidelines were mesmerized.
"Phoenix Arrives on the Sword" Su Xin's eyes narrowed slightly. "Unfortunately, it's only the first style."
Here it is!
A clang of metal echoed as Su Yuning's sword flew from her grasp, a razor-sharp blade now pressed against her delicate throat.
"This, this is it" Su Yuning felt the icy sensation on her jade neck, and was deeply shaken.
But Su Xin was now coldly saying: “Crude, too crude! The swordsmanship itself is strong, but when wielded by you, it is a complete mess. You are all about form and lacking in essence. You focus only on the appearance of the sword techniques, forgetting the true nature of swordsmanship contained within them. While your display may be beautiful and intoxicating to watch, it is utterly useless!”
Think it over!
After finishing, Su Xin sheathed his sword and turned to leave.
"Form without substance You only focus on the superficiality of sword techniques, but you've forgotten the essence of swordsmanship" Su Yuning's head buzzed like a thunderclap had struck him.
After a moment's pause, she regained her composure and immediately bowed respectfully to Su Xin, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, sir!"
Hearing this, Su Xin, who was facing away from Su Yuning, couldn't help but touch his nose, a playful smile appearing on his face.
He remembered, when he was young, this Su Yuning often touched his head and said that she would follow his lead in the future. But now…
"If Ning Jie found out that the "husband" he was talking about was actually the little guy he used to touch his head often, I wonder what expression she would have. Su Xin thought to himself."e to defeat him....now.Xia Mang, in fact, you don't need to compare yourself with others at all. Just focus on cultivating yourself well.Su Xin sheathed his sword and said something, then turned and l...
