'Puff puff puff!'

Before Jiang Fan could even observe his opponent, countless swords shot towards him from all directions within the space.

These sharp swords, varying in length, appeared as solid as real objects.

Even standing still, he could feel the chilling cold emanating from their bodies.

"Too slow!"

Jiang Fan now possessed Level 7 strength, making the sixth trial quite easy for him.

"Even if I stand here and do nothing, these sword lights probably won't pose much of a threat!"

He looked around and stomped his foot lightly.

Instantly, a tightly sealed energy wall formed around him.

The flying swords suddenly stabbed towards the wall.

'Ding ding dang dang!'

A moment later, they all rustled to the ground.

Jiang Fan smiled.

"It seems that when the gap is too large, many skills ultimately have little effect."

He waved his hand, dispelling the energy wall.

He was preparing to deal with his opponent.

Just then, the swords that had fallen to the ground and disappeared suddenly rose again, attacking him.

Jiang Fan was stunned.

There's actually this kind of move?

He had previously manipulated Heaven and Earth Energy to fight people, and if an opponent dodged, he basically had to recondense the energy.

However, this scholar's flying swords seemed to be connected to his mind at all times? Able to be recalled at any moment to attack?

Interesting!

This time, Jiang Fan didn't dodge or evade.

He clenched his fist and charged straight ahead.

'Boom!'

His movements were extremely fast; the swords behind him couldn't keep up at all.

As for the swords in front, they all exploded under his heavy punch.

'Crack!'

In almost an instant, Jiang Fan flashed before the scholar.

He punched the scholar's head, and immediately all the objects in the arena turned into scattered sand and disappeared.

Then, the scholar's image reformed.

"My name is Jiang Bai, originally born into the Jiangnan Scholarly Family..."

After a while, the scholar recounted his experiences.

Jiang Fan nodded silently.

Another person who had fallen into despair due to court politics.

From a pampered noble son to a stray dog, then obtaining the Mysterious Seal treasure, and personally taking revenge on his enemies...

This story felt familiar...

As he pondered, the scholar's voice sounded again.

"Although I obtained such a treasure trove, my life was consumed by revenge, and ultimately I achieved nothing..."

"Only by comprehending a set of Sword Control Techniques could I pass it on to future generations..."

Jiang Fan's eyes narrowed, he held his breath, sat down, and listened carefully.

"Discard distracting thoughts, sink your mind into your dantian, and perceive the flow of energy between heaven and earth..."

"Guide the Heaven and Earth Energy like a gentle stream, gather it in your palm, and imagine it as an extension of your will..."

"Mind-Sword Connection; the sword has not moved, but it is poised to strike..."

"Disperse your mind, divide it into two, then into four..."

"When reaching the extreme, drive the long sword forward with all your might, unstoppable, capable of breaking through all illusions..."

"During Sword Control, you must maintain a clear state of mind, focusing on the Qi connection between the enemy and the sword intent, only then can you..."

Several minutes later, the scholar Jiang Bai's figure dissipated.

Jiang Fan remained seated, his brow furrowed for a long time.

This challenge took a long time to come around after the last one.

During this period, his strength had already far surpassed the threshold for the sixth stage, making the fight incredibly easy.

He had been quite excited about the rewards for this stage!

But he never expected that the inheritance he ultimately received, that of the scholar swordsman, would be somewhat redundant compared to his previous gains.

The Sword Control Technique, in essence, was similar to his own methods of manipulating Heaven and Earth Energy for thrust attacks or condensing wind blades.

The only difference was that the Sword Control Technique also required a mental connection with the longsword he condensed.

It was like creating countless clones of himself outside his own body.

"In combat, the practical application of the Sword Control Technique probably won't be very useful!"

Jiang Fan's current fighting style prioritized a swift, decisive blow!

At the very least, he aimed to incapacitate the opponent in a single move.

Under such circumstances, manipulating Heaven and Earth Energy was more than sufficient; there was no need for the so-called Sword Control Technique.

Even if his opponent were of equal strength, using the Flash technique would be many times more effective than the Sword Control Technique.

Therefore, the Sword Control Technique might not...

As Jiang Fan pondered this, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him!

"No!"

"The characteristic of the Sword Control Technique is to attach one's consciousness to the longsword! The longsword becomes an extension of oneself!"

"If it's an extension of myself, can I combine the Sword Control Technique with the Flash technique?"

The original Flash skill could only be applied to his own body.

Now that the longsword was bound to his consciousness, could he make the longsword Flash as well?

"It should be feasible!"

Jiang Fan's heart pounded with excitement.

"If... I can make my weapon Flash at my will, it will be even more unpredictable for the enemy than my own body Flashing!"

"If successful, it will definitely become a major killing move for me!"

He decided to act on his idea immediately.

Jiang Fan sat down cross-legged again, extended a hand, and a longsword materialized in his palm.

"Next, I need to establish an anchor point!"

Jiang Fan was now incredibly proficient at adding anchor points. With a single thought, he established an anchor point channel between himself and the edge of the arena.

"I'll detach a wisp of my consciousness and attach it to the longsword!"

"Go!"

Jiang Fan pointed into the distance.

Instantly, a longsword appeared abruptly at the edge of the arena, dozens of meters away.

"It worked!"

Jiang Fan's expression was filled with surprise and joy.

"My consciousness can currently cover a range of thirty kilometers!"

"This means..."

"I can silently take an opponent's life within thirty kilometers!"

"And the sword edge will condense more than thirty kilometers away. Once it appears, it can strike without delay for a killing blow!"

As Jiang Fan realized this, his heart surged with excitement.

"This move is too powerful!"

"It's like carving an invisible channel through the void. I can attack from here, and the effect will instantly reach an enemy tens of kilometers away!"

"Kill an enemy's head from a thousand miles away!"

This thought suddenly popped into Jiang Fan's mind.

Although his current range was only tens of kilometers, as his cultivation increased, this perception range would expand.

One day, he would achieve it!

Jiang Fan let out a long, slow breath.

"This is quite an unexpected surprise!"

"However, I still need to practice it a lot!"

"Otherwise, if there's any delay when launching the attack, it won't achieve the element of surprise!"

With this thought, Jiang Fan buried himself in diligent practice.

More than three hours later, Jiang Fan walked out of the martial arts hall.

He had practiced in the Martial Arts Space for more than thirty hours and had completely mastered this new skill.

He had even expanded on it further, allowing his mind to attach to physical objects at will, making them travel to a designated location.

"This time, even a high-level Level 7 Great Grandmaster, I'm confident I can crush them!"

Jiang Fan pondered inwardly.

After a short rest for the night.

The next day, Jiang Fan arrived at the training camp's designated location according to the war zone's guidance information.

The General Star Training Camp was located within a mountain cliff in the suburbs of Nandu.

From the outside, it looked like an ordinary mountain.

But inside, a vast space had been carved out.

After Jiang Fan presented his ID card, he was led in by a guard.

On the way, soldiers and military vehicles passed by frequently, giving off a busy atmosphere.

"This place doesn't seem to be just for candidates of the General Star Training Camp; there are many ordinary soldiers here too!"

"It should be a hidden military base?"

Jiang Fan observed as he walked.

However, the soldier leading him was stern and didn't speak much, so he didn't feel comfortable asking questions.

The two walked through the passageway, turning left and right for several kilometers, and suddenly saw a light ahead.

Jiang Fan keenly noticed that this light was not from artificial lighting but from a natural light source.

Could it be that somewhere inside this mountain was still connected to the outside?

If you can't find the book by its title, you can try searching for the author. Maybe the title has been changed!
