The Birth of Sword God-Chapter 138 - 129: Do You Know How to Use a Sword?

Chapter 138: Chapter 129: Do You Know How to Use a Sword?

Chu Huaixu was very displeased.

"So frustrated! When will the body refiners in this world ever rise!"

He completely forgot that when he was in the Library Pavilion, he was also shouting in his heart: "Body refining, even a dog wouldn’t practice it!"

Now he practiced both internally and externally, making him half a body refiner.

They say your position decides your perspective.

His position was incredibly clear as he had refined himself so rigorously:

——Body refining is not bad!

As a body refiner, I am no weaker than anyone!

Han Shuangjiang watched her two body refining companions nearby, and she just felt amused.

She actually had no prejudice against body refiners.

She just thought body refiners really love to shout.

The cries from the bamboo house next door were either Chu Huaixu’s or Junior Brother Xu’s.

At this moment, she watched Xiaoxu with a serious face, bowing to Chu Huaixu and saying, "Yes, Senior Brother!"

Han Shuangjiang was a bit worried: "Chu Huaixu said to beat him to death; he wouldn’t actually go all out against Chairman Wang, would he?"

Chairman Wang, standing opposite Xu Ziqing, just felt that the young man’s aura had completely changed.

He used to seem quite restrained, but now even his posture was much straighter.

——"Stand straighter, step forward a bit more!"

The young man was still as delicate, even describable as beautiful.

But at this moment, even his gaze turned sharp!

The competition officially began.

Chu Huaixu’s gaze, however, was staring at Xu Ziqing’s sword box.

"Did he bring the bronze sword down the mountain?"

"Is it placed in here?" he thought.

He cast an [Information Detection] over, only for three question marks to appear.

Then, Chu Huaixu cast another [Information Detection] towards Xu Ziqing.

"Huh, he actually caught up with me, also at First Realm Fourth Heaven?" he was shocked.

Chu Huaixu had always guessed that during this period, Xu Ziqing was likely cultivating with their Junior Martial Uncle.

So, he wanted to see how much difference there is between Xiaoxu following his cultivation and following the other’s.

The result was...

"Laughable! Still have to rely on taking pills!"

Since he was already an alchemist, his sensitivity to the residual effects of spirit pills was higher, which also enhanced the [Information Detection] in this aspect.

Inside the young man’s body, there remained the residual medicinal power of the Bone Marrow Cleansing and Bone Forging Pill.

"The only difference is that the pills he takes now are of higher quality," he thought.

But this shows, when I was nurturing him, I fed him pills. When Jiang Zhi nurtured him, he also fed him pills. Rounding up, I’m akin to a Daoist Junior Martial Uncle!

That day on Hidden Spirit Mountain, Jiang Zhi even said the young man was taking too varied spirit pills, purely relying on pills wouldn’t work, a solid foundation was needed.

The next day, he taught Xu Ziqing a set of foundational secret techniques to offset some of the negative impact left by taking pills.

The result was, after one day, the residual issues within the young man’s body were completely gone!

This signifies he can consume more...

"What kind of heaven-defying physique is this?" Even the well-learned Jiang Zhi was somewhat stunned.

He felt that since his return to the Daoist Sect this time, he had been shocked more frequently than ever before in his life.

Thus, this Daoist Junior Martial Uncle called over the Second Elder, asking the Alchemy Grandmaster to select the most suitable pills for the young man.

"His self-cultivation progress indeed was too slow."

Upon learning that Xu Ziqing was practicing the "Ice Skin Jade Bone Heart Method," the Daoist Second Elder refined ten pieces of Bone Marrow Cleansing and Bone Forging Pill for him. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Needless to say, the effects were outstanding!

Indeed, without pill-taking, there is no body refining!

Body refining requires taking strong doses!

And Jiang Zhi was unaware of how his prestige in Chu Huaixu’s heart had just dipped a bit.

On the arena, Xu Ziqing and Chairman Wang were already fighting fiercely, hard to tell who was superior.

This Sword Sect sword cultivator was incredibly surprised that the body refining junior opposite was this strong!

Only Chu Huaixu knew in his heart: "Now, in terms of pure physical strength, Xiaoxu might be a notch stronger than me."

Although the "Refining Sword Formulas" is wicked at least, after the Nine Acupoints All Open, the physical strength is mightier than many ordinary First Realm body refiners, their starting point can be considered very high.

On this basis, he practiced the "Dao Scripture," while Xiaoxu practiced the "Ice Skin Jade Bone Heart Method."

The former excels in internal and external cultivation, but neither the half that involves body refining nor the other half in the Spiritual Embryo Secret Collection reaches above Earth Level Technique.

But if the two are combined, it utterly crushes any Celestial Level Technique!

Yet, the "Ice Skin Jade Bone Heart Method," is a solid Celestial Level Body Refining Divine Skill.

Under the same realm, purely by physical strength, Xu Ziqing as the more pure body refiner would have a slight edge.

"However, this is merely comparing ’panel attributes’ with everyone standing together," Chu Huaixu thought.

"In actual combat, everything’s still uncertain."

"The reason is simple, the ’Dao Scripture’ also has more abnormal self-healing capabilities."

"This means I’m more... enduring?"

Aside from this, he also has sword intent and Spiritual Embryo Divine Techniques, which Xiaoxu currently does not possess.

At this moment, the reason why Chairman Wang could fight Xu Ziqing evenly was due to his advantage in spiritual artifacts.

He had his own lifebound sword, while Xiaoxu was empty-handed.

Clearly, if there was indeed a bronze sword inside the sword box, he had no intention of using it.

On the arena, as the fight dragged on, Chairman Wang grew more and more shocked, thinking with gritted teeth: "Madman! This body-refining sissy, who would’ve thought is actually a madman!"

During the exchange, he felt several times that the opponent wanted to trade injury for injury!

In the eyes of ordinary people, naturally they wouldn’t think this person in front of them wasn’t afraid of pain.

Normal body refining wouldn’t produce such an effect, everyone just has a stronger body and is less prone to pain.

After all, if no one feared pain, the suffering brought by body refining wouldn’t be considered a burden. The path of body refining would become much easier instantly.

Chairman Wang would only think he’s crazy, willing to pay any price to win!

As the fight went on, Xu Ziqing also began to realize: "Without a spiritual artifact, I’m at a great disadvantage."

Even for ordinary martial artists, the boost from a handy weapon is tremendous.

In fact, Xiaoxu was not only extremely gifted in comprehension, but his combat talent and instinct were also exceptional.

In the martial world, he was a born swordsman.

He quickly found a flaw in Chairman Wang’s defense.

But because he was unarmed, he previously could only choose the "wild mode" of trading injury for injury to achieve a direct outcome.

At this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly crossed the boy’s mind.

He instantly recalled something.

Immediately, Chairman Wang saw a massive object coming towards him with great force!

Xu Ziqing swung the sword box, his whole body bursting with power at that moment.

Don’t forget, the sword box is at least a middle-grade spiritual artifact!

The audience below the stage watched in shock, staring as the short and delicate boy swung a sword box taller than himself, using it to smash people heavily.

Chairman Wang’s long sword couldn’t block in time, and it flew out.

The reddish-brown Coiled Dragon Wood was incredibly hard.

Under tremendous force, this proud Sword Sect sword cultivator immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, not knowing how many bones were broken, his body flying backward, crashing onto the ground below the stage!

In fact, Chairman Wang had always been wary of the contents of the sword box.

He speculated that Xu Ziqing’s lifebound spiritual artifact was inside.

"But who would have thought, his lifebound object was actually the sword box itself! It was so deceptive!" Chairman Wang thought, his mind shaken.

This caught him completely off guard.

After falling to the ground, his vision went black.

Before losing consciousness, he had only one thought.

"Crude body refiner!"

...

...

Discussion was rampant below the stage.

If it weren’t for Chairman Wang’s initial provocation, with Daoist sect disciples supporting each other, they might have also mumbled inwardly, "This junior brother is quite despicable!"

His lifebound spiritual artifact was indeed too bizarre.

Who would guard against this wooden box?

Unfortunately, such a dirty trick could only be used once.

In subsequent competitions, as long as opponents knew a bit about you, its miraculous effect would be gone.

But because Chairman Wang was overly arrogant just now, the Daoist crowd cheered at this moment!

Winning is what matters, who cares how you win?

Your Sword Sect sword cultivators clearly fight dirty regularly!

No matter how glorious it is, Sword Sect must lose!

They justified themselves, "It’s good this was just a competition; if it were a life-and-death duel, it would have cost you your life! A good lesson for you!"

In fact, every cultivator more or less had some underhanded means.

In life and death situations, who talks about martial virtue?

The important thing is to stay alive.

Moreover, many ancient killing techniques are quite sinister.

The advantage of being on home ground was evident, with no one booing, everyone praising Xu Ziqing.

The boy, simple-minded, couldn’t imagine they misunderstood the sword box as the lifebound object, and showed a slightly shy smile on stage.

This smile made several senior brothers below the stage momentarily lost in thought.

After descending the stage, Xu Ziqing headed straight for Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang.

"Senior Brother, Senior Sister Han," he said respectfully.

"Well done," Chu Huaixu, as usual, praised in a lukewarm manner.

Even so, it filled Xiaoxu with satisfaction.

In the past few days, Junior Martial Uncle called him "highly insightful," "possessing an unparalleled physique," "with a decent temperament"...

All combined couldn’t match the simple "well done."

Chu Huaixu led the way to a deserted corner, with the other two following quickly.

In a secluded spot, he spoke with discretion, pointing to the sword box and asked, "Inside?"

Xu Ziqing nodded, understanding naturally, and replied, "Yes."

"Did Junior Martial Uncle allow you to use it in the competition?" Chu Huaixu asked again.

"He said not yet." Xiaoxu answered.

Chu Huaixu understood, it was just temporarily unused.

He actually knew deep down that if the rounds continued like this, if all three of them could keep advancing, sooner or later, he and Xiaoxu would have to face off!

And the opponent he would face would definitely not be the current Xu Ziqing.

If no accidents occur, it would be Xu Ziqing wielding that sword.

A true... world protagonist!
