Chapter 252 - 252 Loophole
252 Loophole
After thinking it through, Dong Xi put away the paper and entered the space again…
Dong Xi had found many flaws in such a simple sword move twice.
In the middle of her cultivation, Dong Xi even went to participate in a competition. This time, the winner was a Senior Sister from the Sword Sect, who was at the 11th level of the Qi Refinement stage, called Gu Yao. She was extremely beautiful, but very cold, giving people a feeling that one could only look at her from afar and not play with her.
These people who had reached the 11th or 12th level of Qi Refinement were all ruthless people. They had very high requirements for themselves in order to strive for a perfect foundation. They were completely different from those who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage after the 10th level of Qi Refinement. Whether it was in terms of hard work or aptitude, these 11th or 12th level Senior Brothers and sisters were perfect.
Dong Xi was defeated in this match.
She was forced to the edge by Senior Sister Gu Yao’s sword. The sword Qi contained spiritual energy, so Dong Xi could not resist it at all.
Knowing that she was no match for Senior Sister Gu Yao, Dong Xi got off the stage and stood there, cupping his fists. “Thank you for your love, Senior Sister.”
Gu Yao was an icy beauty, so she only nodded and did not say anything.
The audience might not understand what was going on, but Dong Xi knew. She had been in the cultivation world for almost three years, so of course he knew some rules. It was normal to get injured in a fight, and the sword was merciless. The fight between Dong Xi and Gu Yao was normal, and Dong Xi did not even scratch Gu Yao.
She knew how strong Senior Sister Gu Yao was, and because of this, Dong Xi secretly decided to build a perfect foundation.
The difference between the 10th level and 11th level Qi Refinement did not seem big, but yesterday Senior Brother Zhuang Sheng and today’s Senior Sister Gu Yao had a huge difference in strength.
Dong Xi only left after Senior Sister Wang Ying announced Senior Sister Gu Yao’s victory.
Dong Xi lowered her head and hurried to the Cultivation Technique Hall, wanting to perfect her sword technique. Someone shouted, “Dong Xi.”
Dong Xi turned around and found that it was Senior Sister Gu Yao. She was dressed in white sect clothes and had a perfect figure. She was a natural beauty. Some people looked like men in sect clothes, but Senior Sister Gu Yao looked good no matter what she wore!
Dong Xi was mesmerized by Gu Yao’s beauty. Seeing her come closer, Gu Yao said, “Junior Sister, if there’s time in the future, let’s spar together.”
When Dong Xi heard this, she immediately smiled and said, “Alright!”
Gu Yao took out the communication jade slip and said, “Then, shall we exchange our spiritual breaths?”
Dong Xi looked at Senior Sister Gu Yao’s back and could not help but wonder if she would be as beautiful as her after so many years. Dong Xi really loved her looks and figure.
Dong Xi once again entered the Cultivation Technique Hall and started cultivating. She had no idea what time it was.
After an unknown amount of time, Dong Xi concluded the sixth sword move. There were still four more moves that she could not use now, but she recorded them down on paper.
Once again, the cultivation began. Dong Xi was no longer afraid when the shadow pointed a long sword at her chest.
This was no longer a demon in her heart. It was just a touch, but Dong Xi had been touched thousands of times…
At this moment, the communication jade slip lit up, and Dong Xi immediately left the space.
She took out the jade slip and saw that it was a message from Senior Sister Wang Ying.
Dong Xi had actually passed the sect’s selection. It just so happened that he was in 100th place and would represent the sect in the great tournament.
Dong Xi knew that she had passed the selection this time because many members of the Sword Sect had been attacked.
The sect had supplied them with many pills, and even though they had recovered from their injuries, it would take a long time for him to return to their peak state.
As the only disciple who had been selected before reaching the 10th level of Qi Refinement, Dong Xi had received the attention of everyone in the sect.
If it was anyone else, many people might not be convinced, but Dong Xi was different.
Dong Xi had exchanged all of her points to gather the souls of her fellow disciples. Who would dare to be dissatisfied with such a person? No one in the Sword Sect would agree to it.
Dong Xi put away the jade slip and stood up from the ground.
She had gained a lot from meditating for so long, but her legs were a little numb.
In the future, she would just participate in the inter-sect tournament and go out to see the world.
However, before she set off, she still had to practice the swordsmanship Dong Xi had summarized.
Dong Xi looked at the flaws in the summary and thought for a moment. She took out a jade slip and sent a message to Eldest Senior Brother.
[Senior Brother, are you there?]
Liang Yan saw that it was a message from Dong Xi and immediately replied.
[I’m here.]
Dong Xi immediately replied. [Eldest Senior Brother, can we exchange pointers on swordsmanship?]
…
Liang Yan looked at the message and was silent for a long time before he replied to it.
[Sure.]
Dong Xi laughed. In the eyes of others, she seemed to be overestimating herself.
The reason why he was looking for the Eldest Senior Brother was also the result of Dong Xi’s careful consideration. In the entire sect, there were very few who were proficient in swordsmanship. Only the Eldest Senior Brother and Master Yijian were great with the sword.
