Chapter 27

Falling Blade.
Yoo Hyuk brought the raised sword down.
The sword fell down gently, like a flower petal being swept away by the wind.
Countless changes were hidden in that simple movement.
Just as the petals of a falling flower would change direction and show strange changes in the slightest breeze, so did the sword of Yoo Hyuk.
It was nowhere near as powerful as it was half a year ago.
It was only a single slash, but it left a strong impression.
“Enough!”
As if that was enough, Elder Lingfeng shouted.
Liu Hyuk sheathed his sword and returned to his seat.
Hyun Pa was next.
“Her name is Hyun Pa. I am fifteen years old, and I am thirty-six swordsmen.”
“What are you confident in?”
“The Great Heavenly River Sword Method.”
“Let us begin.”
As the flag ceremony took place, a wave of energy from the Sect swept through the hall.
His large body, which didn’t fit his age of fifteen, and his greatsword, which looked twice as large as a normal sword, only added to his power.
“Huh!”
Shen Fa swung the sword with a loud roar.
The Great Heavenly Sword Technique.
The Great Heavenly Sword Technique unleashed by the heavy greatsword was like the firm sky.
There was no hesitation or faltering in the sword’s outstretched blade, as if it would not be defeated by anything, and like the blue sky, it embraced all things.
He embraces change in his heavy sword, and power in his swift sword.
Despite his position as a Thirty-Sixth Swordsman, Shen Fa’s skill was comparable to that of an Eighteenth Swordsman.
“Enough!”
Shen Fa sheathed his great sword and returned to his seat.
Then it was Yan Hua’s turn.
“Her name is Hong Yanhua. I’m fifteen years old, and I’m a master swordsman.”
“What are you confident in?”
“The Jade Woman Fire Sword Method.”
“Let us begin.”
Yan Hua took the flag ceremony.
Then she began to unleash the first spell.
My first thought was, “Beautiful.
It moved smoothly, as if the tugboat were dancing.
It moves in gentle circles and emits a bright light.
However, just as a rose has thorns, so does the Jade Maiden Sword Technique.
It hid dozens of changes within its beautiful sword path, and hid its secrets within its light thrusts.
“Stop!”
Elder Lingfeng’s words caused Yan Hua to withdraw her sword.
I don’t know when she became so strong, but her skill was nothing compared to half a year ago.
Yan Hua turned to me as she returned to her seat.
“It’s different from half a year ago, isn’t it? I’ve been working hard, haven’t I?”
I smiled sheepishly and nodded.
This time it was my turn.
“Woohoo.”
I stepped forward and took a deep breath to steady myself.
“My name is Qingwu. I’m fifteen years old, and I’m a land inspector.”
“What are you confident in?”
“I’m confident that I’m …….”
“What do you mean?”
Elder Wenhu asked, wondering if he had misspoken.
“It’s…….
“You’re the most confident in Jiang Tianxu during the examination?”
Elder Lingfeng looked incredulous.
Elder Wen Hu and the other disciples’ expressions were no different.
Except for a few people, my group’s people, Ma Jintian, and the three elders.
“Being a swordsman doesn’t mean you have to be confident in swordplay, right?”
“We are called swordsmen because we use swords. If not, they should be called swordsmen.”
“I’m more accomplished in swordsmanship and Jiang Chenshu, shouldn’t I be?”
“Well, there’s no reason why not…….”
Elder Lingfeng replied with a strange expression.
The other disciples were sneering at him in disbelief.
“Then…… let’s get started.”
“Hmph.”
Deep breathing is always the first step.
The muscles are moderately tense, and the mind remains calm.
I took the flag ceremony of the martial artist who was once Jiang Chenshu, but who had changed and was no longer Jiang Chenshu.
He steps forward and extends his fist.
“It’s not a circle, it’s a straight line. Reduce unnecessary movements and direct the internal force. The fist is a point, not a line like a slash.
He recalled his master’s instructions.
He struck a dot in the air with the shortest distance and maximum speed.
Pow!
He folds his arms and elbows out.
With a step, he spins and kicks back.
No, that’s not necessary, is it?
The backward kick is meant to create a rotation, but the rotation is through the waist.
All you need to do is twist your upper body.
Eliminate the unnecessary motion of turning backwards and kick out with your foot.
It”s more than twice as fast.
“The blink of an eye is the difference between life and death.
I remembered my master’s advice.
I open my fist to form a chong (Charge).
Gently sweep upward to make a rising motion.
Chuck (Repel) to cut off a vein.
Hua, to reverse the force.
Yin (Draw) to attract.
Ban (Reverse) to reverse.
He embodied everything he had learned so far.
Just as the Plum Blossom Sword Form evolved from the Plum Blossom Sword Form, so too did he study other martial artists’ techniques and apply them to his own.
In an instant, a new formation was created and unnecessary movements were eliminated.
This was the Plum Blossom Form.
The plum blossom formations changed in synchronization with his movements.
A steady, balanced stance.
His feet are quick to take up positions.
The movements dizzying, creating new changes.
“Stop!”
The voice snapped me out of my trance.
When I awoke, Elder Lingfeng and Elder Wenhu were staring at me with strange expressions.
Elder Wenhu opened his mouth.
“Mm…… is that Jiang Tianxu?”
“Oops!
I realized my mistake.
As a disciple of the Volcano Sect, it is a grave sin to switch martial arts without permission.
In my haste to hide the Plum Blossom Sword Furnace, I hadn’t remembered that Jiang Tianxu was also different from the normal Jiang Tianxu.
“I apologize. I was grafting my enlightenment into it, and I ended up becoming a different martial artist…….”
“I see, I see. When I return, I’ll speak to Zhang Wenyin and have him adopt you as his official martial artist. It’s a whimsical and mysterious martial art.”
I bowed in gratitude.
For to praise the martial art I had changed was to praise me.
“I can see why you’re most confident in this one.”
He bowed to Elder Lingfeng and returned to his seat.
He felt very uncomfortable with the stares of the others, especially the masters of the Volcano Sect.
The most basic of martial arts, the Jiang Chen Water.
To have transformed it like this, they were surprised and jealous.
Their gazes were soon withdrawn.
The next person to come out was Top Hiyun.
“Her name is Top Hiyun. I am fifteen years old and thirty-six swordsmen.”
A very small voice.
“Speak loudly.”
Top Hiyun blushed and lowered his head at Elder Lingfeng’s words.
Elder Ning Feng also sighed and shook his head, knowing that Top Hiyun had such a personality.
“What are you confident about?”
“I…… that…… is the Hospitality Ring Sword Dance.”
“Let’s begin.”
Shaking her head, Top Hiyun untied her loincloth.
The sword strings fluttered and fluttered.
I was surprised that he didn’t have a sword, but it was a kite sword.
He had been wearing it as a belt, so he didn’t have a scabbard, and he didn’t know where he kept it.
“Sucks.”
Top Hee-yoon was breathing hard as if she was trying to spit out her embarrassment.
Soon afterward, her breathing became calm and she looked up.
There was no sign of shyness in her eyes, only an intense, unmanned gaze.
It was as if she had transformed into a completely different person.
“Hmph.
Top Hiyun moved his sword.
The kite sword is a cavalry weapon.
It’s a weapon that’s difficult to handle, and you can’t use it unless you train for a long time.
It’s very difficult for an ordinary unarmed person to handle.
Top Hiyun was using such a sword freely.
With a twist of his wrist, the sword bent and the direction of his attack changed in an instant.
It looked like he was just swinging it around, but it was a kite.
A sword that changes strangely, like a butterfly in flight.
The kite sword was shaped like a butterfly.
It was like a butterfly fluttering about.
“Enough!”
Top Hiyun returned with the sword.
“No more. Is this the end?”
After Top Hee-yoon, everyone showed off their martial arts skills.
“You all have excellent martial arts skills, no wonder you were able to break through yesterday’s techniques so quickly.”
“Hmm… At this level, I might be able to perform the Taeeulmiree Illusory Void Array…”
“That’s for later. For now, I think it’s better to start with the Six Feng Jin.”
“Then let’s go with that.”
After discussing something with each other, Elder Wenhu called out to us.
“First group, you go over there. Second group, you go that way. No, a little further up. Group three, you go to the right. Four, ye to the northeast. Five, ten paces to the west. The sixth group, twenty paces up.”
When they moved according to Elder Munhu’s instructions, the six groups formed a circle around the six points.
“This is the Six Peaks formation. Six peaks, six groups, constantly moving in a circle.”
With that, he instructed each person where to stand.
“Keep that position and move to the right. Slow to start, faster with each turn.”
Slowly to the right.
As Elder Munhu said, we moved faster with each turn.
It got faster and faster, until it became uncontrollable.
“Draw your swords. The swordsmen, position yourselves so that you can jump out.”
Thrrrr.
The sound of twenty swordsmen drawing their swords echoed throughout the hall.
“The Six Peaks move differently for each peak, but they are linked together like a chain. So you don’t need to learn new sword techniques or techniques, you just need to utilize your own organs.”
Six cogs turning quickly.
After a quick glance, Elder Wen Hu spoke again.
“The first group will be centered around Chu Feng. The other three will assist. This group will be centered around Mak Hu. The other three will assist. The third group will be centered on Liu Yun. The other three support. The fourth group is centered by Wan Chengfeng. The other three support. Group Five is centered on Yuhyeok. The other three support. The sixth group is led by Qingwu. The other three support. Those who support should form a three-man line.”
The six groups did as Elder Wenhu commanded.
Six people, six peaks, forming a three-pronged formation, a mountain range.
The six camps interlocked, and one camp was formed.
The three jins closed the gap, and the six centers exuded momentum.
“The Yukbongjin is a jin made for one master.”
The jin faltered for a moment.
One against many.
It was an unwritten rule in the Dao that many attacked a single person.
