Bing Ling was at the peak of Lv 5 Qi Cultivation Realm. She was among the top 10 in the Inner Sect.
After Bing Ling bounced off the Sword Technique Ladder, all the disciples exclaimed and began to talk about it.
Fang Chen could see clearly that although Bing Ling was strong, her understanding of swordsmanship was not that good.
"This Sword Technique Ladder is amazing."
A smile appeared on Fang Chen's face as he felt an urge to challenge the Stairway to Heaven.
Next, a few more disciples tried to climb the Ladder, but none of them could reach the fifth level.
After about 15 minutes, the entire Sword Technique Stairway to Heaven was in an uproar. This was because most of the top 10 inner disciples, who were usually elusive, had come to the Sword Technique Stairway to Heaven one after another.
"It's White Ape. I didn't expect him to come."
"Not only White Ape, but Chong Yu is also here."
"The top 10 inner disciples, except for Du Zhong, are all here. Are they all going to climb the Sword Technique Ladder?"
Many disciples exclaimed when they saw the newcomers.
Even Fang Chen seemed to be deep in thought as he looked at the disciples before him.
"Haha, Brother White Ape, are you going to climb the Sword Technique Ladder too?" Chong Yu looked at White Ape and asked.
"Yes, I can't help but want to try when I see Sister Bing Ling climbing the Ladder." White Ape laughed.
"Brother White Ape, you might be able to reach the ninth level this time." Many disciples complimented him.
Bing Ling was ranked sixth in the Inner Sect. Other than Bing Ling, eight of the top 10 inner disciples came this time. Only Du Zhong did not come.
After the top 10 inner disciples greeted each other, Bai Liming, who was ranked tenth, began to climb the Ladder.
Bai Liming was a disciple at Lv 5 Qi Cultivation Realm. He was ranked tenth in the Inner Sect. He was very strong, but he usually kept a low profile.
Last time, Bai Liming reached the fifth level. This time, no one knew if he could reach a higher level.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Bai Liming's figure was vigorous and soon he reached the top of the Sword Technique Ladder.
Bai Liming's speed was very fast in the first five steps of the Sword Stairway Heaven. When Bai Liming reached the fifth step of the Sword Stairway Heaven, he stopped moving forward. A long sword suddenly appeared in his hand and he began to brandish it.
Whoosh!
Streaks of sword light danced out, and many disciples were mesmerized by the scene.
"Although Bai Liming is not as strong as Bing Ling, his swordsmanship is much stronger than Bing Ling's." Fang Chen looked at Bai Liming's swordsmanship and commented.
Just as Fang Chen finished speaking, Bai Liming's body moved. In an instant, Bai Liming rushed to the sixth floor.
On the sixth floor, Bai Liming did not stop. He continued to wield his swordsmanship. Bai Liming's swordsmanship was like a torrential river. It was continuous and gave people a very gentle feeling.
However, it was this feeling that made Fang Chen feel a sense of danger.
"This swordsmanship …"
Fang Chen frowned and said in a low voice.
Because of the golden heart, Fang Chen's understanding of Sword Principle became deeper and deeper as time passed. He also had a certain understanding of swordsmanship.
At this moment, Fang Chen could clearly feel that there was a different aura in Bai Liming's swordsmanship.
"Intent realm …"
Fang Chen said doubtfully. However, in the next moment, he directly denied it.
Warriors in the Qi Refining Realm could not comprehend intent realms. Only those who had reached the Qi Transformation Realm were qualified to comprehend intent realms.
"I see."
After a long time, Fang Chen finally understood that Bai Liming's swordsmanship contained a trace of intent realm. However, this intent realm did not belong to him.
"Bai Liming should have seen a Qi Transformation Realm expert using intent realm before," Fang Chen said in a low voice.
Just as Fang Chen was speaking, there was another uproar in front of the Sword Stairway. It turned out that Bai Liming had reached the seventh floor.
On the seventh floor of the Sword Stairway, Bai Liming stood quietly. The long sword in his hand danced continuously, and streaks of sword light appeared.
Bai Liming did not give up. He wanted to reach a higher level.
After 15 minutes, Bai Liming used his exquisite swordsmanship and finally reached the eighth floor with great difficulty.
After reaching the eighth floor, Bai Liming finally could not hold on and withdrew from the Sword Stairway.
After Bai Liming finished climbing the Sword Stairway, he was greeted with a round of applause. Among all the inner disciples, besides Bai Liming, only Du Zhong could reach the eighth floor of the Sword Stairway.
"Oh my god, Bai Liming actually reached the eighth floor of the Sword Stairway. Could his swordsmanship be comparable to Du Zhong's?"
"Bai Liming is indeed a sword genius. In time, he will definitely be famous in the Azure Edge Sword Sect."
"Yes, Bai Liming's swordsmanship is too strong. As long as his realm increases, his swordsmanship will definitely reach an incredible level."
Many disciples discussed in low voices. Even Fang Chen acknowledged Bai Liming's swordsmanship.
He could be considered a genius to be able to cultivate his swordsmanship to such a level with his own efforts.
"Bai Liming's achievements in swordsmanship must be higher than others." Fang Chen thought so.
"Bai Liming, I didn't expect you to reach the eighth floor. I really admire you." Even White Ape and the others congratulated him.
The next disciple to climb the Sword Stairway was the ninth disciple. His swordsmanship was obviously not as good as Bai Liming's, and he soon finished climbing the Sword Stairway.
In the end, he stopped at the fifth floor and did not reach the sixth floor.
After an hour, among the top ten inner disciples, other than White Ape and Chong Yu, the rest had finished climbing the Sword Stairway.
However, other than Bai Liming, there was no other disciple who surprised everyone.
The other disciples at most reached the sixth floor, which was similar to Bing Ling.
At this moment, all the disciples were looking at White Ape and Chong Yu. White Ape and Chong Yu were ranked second and third respectively among the top ten inner disciples.
The two of them might be able to reach Bai Liming's level, but it was impossible for them to reach the top.
"Brother White Ape, I'll go first."
After Chong Yu finished speaking, his body flashed and he stepped onto the Sword Stairway.
Fang Chen was a little surprised by Chong Yu's swordsmanship. He thought that Chong Yu would use an inferior swordsmanship, but he did not expect it to be the more ordinary Five Elements Swordsmanship.
When he was in the outer sect, Wen Zhengyun practiced the Five Elements Swordsmanship.
However, when Chong Yu used it, the power of the Five Elements Swordsmanship increased significantly. Although he could not use his strength, Chong Yu's understanding of swordsmanship was beyond ordinary.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh
On the Sword Stairway, Chong Yu's exquisite swordsmanship fascinated countless disciples.
Soon, Chong Yu reached the sixth floor of the Sword Stairway. He stopped at the sixth floor for a while, then rushed to the seventh floor.
"I wonder if Chong Yu can reach the eighth floor." White Ape looked at Chong Yu and smiled.
Fang Chen, who was in the crowd, looked at Chong Yu's swordsmanship and shook his head slightly. He said, "Although Chong Yu's Five Elements Swordsmanship is exquisite, Chong Yu seems to have gone to the extreme. He has not completely grasped the true essence of the Five Elements Swordsmanship."
Just as Fang Chen finished speaking, Chong Yu failed to reach the eighth floor of the Sword Stairway and retreated.
Chong Yu, who failed, was a little helpless. He glanced at Bai Liming, sighed slightly, and quickly left.
Chong Yu's failure shocked everyone. Only Fang Chen knew that Chong Yu's failure was reasonable.
The true essence of the Five Elements Swordsmanship is that the five elements complement each other. Chong Yu's Five Elements Swordsmanship is not complementing each other, but fighting separately. Even if one cultivates to the extreme, they will not be able to grasp the essence. Fang Chen thought to himself.
"Chong Yu did not reach the eighth floor. I wonder if White Ape can reach the eighth floor."
"It's highly possible. White Ape's talent in swordsmanship is second only to Duzhong. Maybe he can reach the eighth floor."
"White Ape may not be a match for Bai Liming in swordsmanship." Many disciples in the crowd were discussing.
Whoosh!
White Ape's figure quickly appeared on the Sword Stairway and displayed exquisite swordsmanship in an instant.
Soon, White Ape reached the seventh floor of the Sword Stairway. At this moment, all the disciples looked at White Ape, wanting to see if he could reach the eighth floor.
Whoosh!
Under everyone's dumbfounded gazes, the white ape unleashed an exquisite sword strike that shocked even Fang Chen.
In the next moment, White Ape stepped onto the eighth floor.
After stepping onto the eighth floor, White Ape still wanted to reach the ninth floor, but he failed in the end.
After White Ape finished climbing the Sword Stairway, no one was willing to go up and embarrass themselves. Even the top ten inner disciples could not reach the top, let alone them.
However, at this moment, Fang Chen walked up the Sword Stairway step by step.
"It's Fang Chen. He killed Shangguan Bu in the Life and Death Arena. Is he going to climb the Sword Stairway?" Suddenly, someone recognized Fang Chen and exclaimed.
"Hmph, does he think that the Sword Stairway is a game? Ridiculous."
"Even the top inner disciple, Duzhong, could not reach the ninth floor. I bet that he can reach the fifth floor at most." Many disciples were not optimistic about Fang Chen.
The top ten inner disciples did not even look at Fang Chen, except for Bing Ling.
Seeing that Fang Chen wanted to climb the Sword Stairway, Bing Ling walked to Fang Chen and whispered, "Although there is no danger on the Sword Stairway, you will be under a lot of pressure. Once you feel that the pressure is too great to bear, you should quickly withdraw. Otherwise, it will cast a shadow on you and your swordsmanship will stagnate in the future."
"Thank you, Senior Sister Bing Ling."
Fang Chen had a good impression of Bing Ling because when he had a conflict with Li Guanglong in the Cultivation Tower, it was Bing Ling who spoke up for him.
White Ape saw this scene and frowned slightly. He was a little dissatisfied with Fang Chen.
"Bing Ling, do you know him?" White Ape asked in a low voice.
"We met once." Bing Ling said indifferently.
"Oh." White Ape heard this and there was a strange look in his eyes.
However, Fang Chen still caught the strange look in the white ape's eyes. The white ape seemed to care a lot about Icicle.
