"This isn't fair!
This Five-Colored Sacred Bull must be sick! "Seeing that Guhan had successfully completed the task, a sword-bearer said loudly with great dissatisfaction.
This sword-bearer was the one who had just been extorted by Guhan of a Dimensional Spiritual Stone.
As the saying goes, if you spend money, you have to listen to the sound of it. The reason why this sword-bearer was willing to give Guhan a Dimensional Spiritual Stone was that he felt that Guhan was helping him solve the problem.
Only when Guhan was sent flying by the bull's horns would the price he paid be worth it.
Therefore, this sword-bearer was looking forward to seeing the scene of Guhan being sent flying.
However, he never expected that this Five-Colored Sacred Bull was a sick one. It was as obedient as a kitten or puppy. In less than a minute, Guhan successfully completed the challenge.
This made the sword-bearer regret it. This opportunity should have been his. If he had been more courageous and directly entered the bullring, then he would have easily completed the task.
But in the end, not only did he not complete the task, but he also lost a Dimensional Spiritual Stone. No matter how he thought about it, it was a losing deal.
Therefore, when he saw that Guhan had completed the task and was about to leave, he immediately shouted angrily.
However, his anger was useless. Gu Han didn't pay attention to him at all. Instead, he left the bull-fighting arena's exit in a carefree manner. From beginning to end, he didn't even look at the sword-bearer. This silent ridicule made the sword-bearer even angrier.
However, no matter how angry he was, the challenge still had to continue.
After Guhan left the bullring, the next challenge was about to begin.
"Moo!"
The familiar earth-shattering sound came from the bull pen again. This made the waiting sword-bearers look at each other. Could it be that the next one to appear was the Five-Colored Sacred Bull?
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this!
In the past, the Five-Colored Sacred Bull would go back and rest for a few days after a battle. There were very few records of it appearing consecutively … However, since it was rare, it meant that there had indeed been records of it appearing consecutively. It was just that the frequency was too low.
"Okay!
Leave it to me! "
The eyes of the swordsman who had just scolded Guhan lit up. Since the Five-Colored Sacred Cow was sick today, didn't that mean his chance had come?
Would he be able to pass through Bullfighting Palace as easily as that person?
Thinking of this, the swordsman immediately became excited. He jumped into the bullring and looked at the bull pen in high spirits. He was ready to learn from Guhan and easily complete the challenge … well, the result didn't need to be mentioned.
According to the recollections of the person involved, the Five-Colored Sacred Bull that appeared the second time seemed to be particularly violent. Before the unlucky swordsman could react, the Five-Colored Sacred Bull's horn had struck his lower body … After that, there was no more news about this unlucky swordsman.
…
After Bullfighting Palace was Baihu Palace. If Mouse Palace tested the swordsman's movement skills, Bullfighting Palace tested the swordsman's ability to seize opportunities and courage, then Baihu Palace tested the swordsman's ability to get rid of weeds?
Baihu Palace's test was very simple. It was to give the swordsman an irregular inverted triangle of black grass that was around five square meters. The swordsman needed to use three swords to chop all the black grass.
It sounded very simple, but in fact, the black grass was not really wild grass. Instead, it was all steel bars as thick as a child's arm. What the swordsman needed to do was to cut all the steel bars in half.
Was this difficult or not?
It could be said that it wasn't. Even if a Famed Sword level swordsman didn't have any sword skills, he could still use the sharp sword in his hand to chop a steel bar. As long as he was a Famed Sword level swordsman, he could do it.
However, this was very difficult because according to Baihu Palace's requirement, the swordsman had to chop all the steel bars at the root within three swords without using sword essence.
First, the area was around five square meters, so one sword sweep obviously couldn't cover the entire area of the grass.
At the same time, the steel bars were densely packed like real grass. There were around a hundred steel bars that popped out.
As the saying went, an arrow at the end of its flight couldn't wear a cape.
The first few steel bars might be relatively easy with one sword sweep, but when it came to the fifth and sixth steel bars, the swordsman's sword force would be at the end of its flight. It would be very difficult to chop another steel bar.
More importantly, there couldn't be any pause in the entire process. Even if there was an extremely short pause of a few milliseconds, Baihu Palace would judge it as the end of the sword.
For example, there was a challenger who was separated from Gu Han by a patch of grass. He first did some warm-up exercises such as sit-ups and push-ups to warm up the muscles in his body.
Then, he did it like an old monk meditating for seven to eight minutes to concentrate his spirit.
Finally, when his mind and spirit were united to the extreme, he suddenly pulled out his Sword Lady and performed the best sword strike of his life.
His slash was quite smooth at first, but when he slashed the tenth steel bar, Gu Han realized that his opponent had run out of strength. When the thirteenth steel bar was slashed, Gu Han's slash hit the fourteenth steel bar, and he subconsciously paused for a moment. A red light immediately lit up around him, indicating that his slash had ended.
This was already his third slash. The first two slashes had severed eighteen and seventeen steel bars respectively. Adding the fourteen steel bars now, it was less than half of the total number of steel bars. The dense forest of steel bars was still growing on the ground. It was obvious that the sword-bearer had failed the test.
"Why?
Why do you have to set such an insane test?
This isn't something that humans can do! "
The swordsman had probably failed many times. When he failed again, he couldn't help but break down. He fell to the ground and cried like a child.
"Because you are only using your own power. You are not using your Sword Lady's power!"
A hoarse and cold voice rang in the swordsman's ears. Don't misunderstand, Guhan wasn't interested in teaching these NPCs how to use their own power.
The person who spoke now wasn't Guhan, but the future Sword Celestial Scarlet, whom Guhan had met once before. Right now, Scarlet Sword Celestial Scarlet's name … But the swordsman didn't have a sword name, so we should just call her Scarlet.
"If I can't use my Sword Lady's power, how can I use my Sword Lady's power?" The swordsman with tears on his face retorted.
"You said that you can't use your Sword Lady's power if you don't use your Sword Lady's power?
That's because you haven't discovered the true power of your Sword Lady! "
Captivating Red squatted down beside the swordsman, which happened to be right next to Guhan.
"Just now, I saw you meditating on the ground for a few minutes. Were you trying to gather your thoughts through meditation?
From there, you can unleash your most condensed power, "Captivating Red suddenly said.
"Not bad?
Is there a problem? "The sword-wielder narrowed his red eyes and asked.
"Of course it's not wrong. However, you've only condensed your own power. Although this sword strike was unleashed through the Sword Maiden, it's actually still using your own power.
This is a big mistake. You should have integrated your own power into the Sword Maiden, and then slashed out this sword together with your own Sword Maiden. That way, you would have been successful in every endeavor! "
After saying this, Captivating Red suddenly pulled out her Sword Maiden and pressed the blade against her forehead. It was as if she was fusing something with the blade. Her aura and the sword's aura fused together, continuously rising and rising. Finally, when this aura reached its peak, Captivating Red slashed out without hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, Captivating Red's Sword Maiden returned to its sheath. A gentle breeze blew past, and the rebar grass in front of her fell to the ground like chopsticks on a table. Half of the rebar grass was swept away in an instant, revealing the pinkish, flesh-colored soil underneath.
Then, Captivating Red repeated the sword technique she had just used, and cut off the other half of the rebar grass … However, because of the shape of the grass, Captivating Red couldn't cut off half of the rebar grass like before. She could only cut off the remaining rebar grass twice.
However, this didn't affect anything. Captivating Red had already reached the standard required by Baihu Palace. She cleared off the rebar grass in three strikes, and not a single vertical rebar remained.
"Amazing!"
The swordsman stared at Captivating Red with eyes full of admiration and envy. He sincerely hoped that Captivating Captivating Red could become his master and learn such a sword technique.
"I'm not fit to be someone else's master!
I'm here to find my master! "Captivating Red spoke plainly to the swordsman.
"Then what kind of person is fit to be your master?" the swordsman asked curiously.
"Do you even need to ask?"
Captivating Red rolled her eyes at the swordsman, "Of course it's the creator of the Twelve Skyscraping Palaces, the powerful Fleeting Jiandi. Only someone like him is fit to be my master!"
"I see!"
The swordsman bowed respectfully to Captivating Red, and left the Baihu Palace happily. He made up his mind that he would continue to challenge the Baihu Palace and try to master the swordsmanship that Captivating Red spoke of.
… …
"What?
Do you want to be my disciple as well? "Captivating Red turned to look at Guhan after sending off the swordsman.
Captivating Red had long since noticed that the man was staring at her.
He was obviously a man who admired her swordsmanship, and wanted to be her disciple.
