The final result of Seven Sects Competition spread rapidly within Qingyang Prefecture City as if it had wings.
Prefecture City's teahouse and restaurant were abuzz with people, and the focus of discussion was all around this competition.
"Have you heard? This year Seven Sects Competition, the leader has changed hands!"
"What? The leader is no longer Rain Listening Tower? Which sect has such ability?"
"It's Azure Profound Sect, Azure Profound Sect's new Beginner stage disciple is really amazing!"
Drunken Immortal Restaurant On the second floor, several luxuriously dressed businessmen sat around a table, saliva flying everywhere.
"Azure Profound Sect's disciple Fang Han faced off against Rain Listening Tower's top-ranked disciple Mo Chen. That duel was a thrill. I was in the audience at the time!"
"I originally thought that the loser would be Fang Han, but who would have thought that Fang Han, with Sword Technique and Body Movement, both of whom had reached Proficiency Realm, would defeat Mo Chen, who had already trained Medium Grade martial arts to Greater Accomplishment!"
A fat businessman took a sip of tea and marveled.
"Fang Han, I heard that Azure Profound Sect is only ranked third, right? He actually beat Rain Listening Tower, who is ranked first, Mo Chen? How is this possible?"
Others don't believe it.
"Absolutely true!"
Another person interjected, his eyes shining.
"Then Fang Han's Body Movement Sword Technique's coordination was so exquisite that they managed to hold on until the moment when Mo Chen Internal Qi failed and won with one blow!"
Someone sighed.
"Tsk tsk, that's incredible! I'm afraid the name of Fang Han will be resounding throughout Prefecture City, and those Yun Qianyue, Li Feng, I heard they are also extremely talented people... Azure Profound Sect, these new Beginner stage disciples, are simply incredible!"
Similar discussions continue to take place in various teahouses and restaurants such as "Hundred Flavors Tower", "Clear Tea Pavilion", and "Gathering Friends Pavilion".
The names Fang Han, Yun Qianyue, and Li Feng, along with the Azure Profound Sect's amazing record of defeating Rain Listening Tower and winning the first place, have been mentioned, chewed, and marveled over and over again.
Azure Profound Sect, who was not always the most dazzling among Seven Sects in the past, has become famous due to the amazing performance of the new Beginner stage disciple, and has been in the limelight for a while.
To the west of Qingyang Prefecture City, inside Azure Profound Branch Courtyard, there is a lively scene.
As night falls, the halls of the courtyard are brightly lit and filled with a jubilant and warm atmosphere.
In addition to Fang Han and others, there were also Deacon and disciples from other courtyards who participated in the banquet.
Chen Xuan Elder's face was rarely red, and his usually serious eyebrows relaxed at this moment. He raised his glass and looked around at the people at the table.
"This time, Seven Sects Competition and Azure Profound Sect are able to overwhelm the others and win the first place. You deserve a lot of credit! I would like to give you a toast!"
"Elder You're welcome!"
Five people, Fang Han, Yun Qianyue, Li Feng, Huang Ling'er, and Shi Meng, raised their glasses and stood up together, with loud voices and excited expressions on their faces.
What is in the cup is not strong liquor, but the sect's special, slightly sweet medicinal drink that can relieve fatigue. But drinking it at this moment seems to make people's hearts beat more excited than the alcohol.
"Elder, we really won Rain Listening Tower! Thinking about it now, it still feels like a dream!"
Huang Ling'er's cheeks were red and her big eyes were curved into crescents.
"I feel like I'm dreaming too!"
Shi Meng smiled honestly and said, looking specifically at Fang Han and Li Feng with admiration.
Li Feng remained taciturn, the corners of his cold lips seemed to rise slightly, and he raised his head to drink the medicine in one gulp.
Fang Han raised his glass and toasted to Shi Meng.
Chen Xuan Elder glanced at each disciple kindly, especially staying on Fang Han for a moment, and nodded.
"Yes, especially Fang Han, who defeated the powerful enemy in the last game and took the greatest credit."
Fang Han quickly said humbly, "Elder is overly praised. This is the result of everyone's joint efforts."
Chen Xuan Elder stroked his beard and smiled, with more admiration in his eyes. "Not arrogant, not impatient, very good."
The celebration banquet lasted for nearly an hour. Many disciples came forward to toast Fang Han and others. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
The tension and exhaustion from days of competition gradually melted away in this shared joy and glory.
After the banquet was over, everyone returned to their private rooms to rest.
Fang Han returned to his room, and there was silence in the room, which was in sharp contrast to the noise in the hall just now.
The moonlight outside the window is like water, shining brightly through the window lattice.
Although he drank some medicinal drinks, his mind was extremely clear and he was not sleepy at all.
Every scene, every move and every move of the fight with Mo Chen in the daytime ring echoed clearly in my mind.
The extreme pressure on the line between life and death, the terrifying oppression brought about by his opponent's Greater Accomplishment-level martial arts... all these experiences were deeply rooted in his soul like a brand.
He knew that this kind of experience was a valuable "treasure" that could improve his martial arts skills.
With a thought in his mind, he simply stopped forcing himself to fall asleep, picked up the Azure Edge Sword placed on the table, pushed the door open and walked into the courtyard.
The courtyard is empty and the moonlight is just right.
The cool breeze blew by, bringing with it the fresh scent of the grass and trees in the courtyard, and also blew away the last trace of his tiredness.
He stood in the courtyard and slowly closed his eyes. He did not practice the sword immediately, but first replayed the fierce battle during the day in his mind from beginning to end.
The choices and gains and losses I make every time I dodge, block, and counterattack, the operation and consumption of Internal Qi under extreme conditions...
All kinds of details emerged one by one, and were repeatedly speculated and confirmed by him.
Gradually, he entered a mysterious state where he forgot both things and me.
The Azure Edge Sword in the hand seems to sense the owner's mood and emits a subtle hum.
"Uh-"
The blade of the sword was unsheathed, drawing a line of cold light under the moonlight.
Fang Han flicked his wrist, and <Wind Splitting Sword Technique> unfolded naturally.
At first, Sword Intent was not very fast, but just slowly stroking, as if he was reviewing the basic trajectory of the sword move.
But as time went by, those battle insights in his mind became clearer and gradually merged with his sword moves.
The speed of the sword began to increase, and the sword wind gradually began to rise.
He does not simply repeat routines, but incorporates his insights from life-and-death fights into every sword move.
How to exert force with less effort and more efficiently?
How to maintain the accuracy of sword moves while moving at high speed?
How to make the combination of Internal Qi and Sword Intent more seamless?
How to better induce and control the ubiquitous "wind"?
All kinds of understandings came to his mind and were revealed through the sword in his hand.
The sword light became faster and faster, more and more agile, until finally, the whole person had turned into a blurry blue shadow.
The whistling sword wind was no longer a simple sharp sound, but also carried a low hum that seemed to tear everything apart.
The airflow in the courtyard was completely aroused, spinning rapidly around him, picking up fine dust and fallen leaves on the ground, forming a small cyclone visible to the naked eye.
He was completely immersed in this wonderful feeling of rapid improvement, and was completely unaware of everything in the outside world.
The Internal Qi in the body is rushing endlessly, perfectly matching the sword moves and Body Movement. The perception of "wind" in my mind is clearer than ever.
Just at a certain moment.
"Buzz!"
Azure Edge Sword let out an unprecedented Qingyue long chant, the sword body trembled violently, the surrounding airflow gathered crazily, and was highly compressed and condensed on the blade!
At the tip of the sword, the air seemed to be completely torn apart, forming a subtle but clearly visible twisted ripple.
A "potential" that is far more majestic, more condensed, and more powerful than "Proficiency Realm" is booming!
"Tsk--!"
The sword slashed out at a speed that exceeded the limit of visual capture. A thin line of light blue Void Sundering was seen passing by, as if the moonlight in front of him was briefly cut open.
Where the sword wind passed by, a large piece of fallen dead leaves on the ground silently split into two halves, with the fracture as smooth as a mirror.
Fang Han's figure suddenly paused, standing with the sword in hand, breathing slightly, but his eyes burst out with incredible brilliance.
"<Wind Splitting Sword Technique> has reached Mastery Realm!"
After experiencing the extreme life-and-death battle during the day, and the enlightenment that had just come naturally, he broke through the bottleneck that had been bothering him for a long time, and pushed the extremely difficult Medium Grade Sword Technique to the Greater Accomplishment level.
The understanding and control of "Wind Momentum" jumped directly from three points to five points.
The power is more than doubled!
He slowly sheathed his sword, feeling the humming of the sword that had not yet subsided, and the closer connection between his whole body and the airflow of heaven and earth, and he was filled with joy.
If he were to fight Mo Chen again at this time, with this Greater Accomplishment level <Wind Splitting Sword Technique>, he was confident that even if he could not win easily, it would never be as difficult and thrilling as winning in the daytime!
Just when Fang Han put away his sword and stood quietly, carefully comprehending the new feeling brought by Greater Accomplishment Sword Technique, in the shadow of Corridor in the courtyard, a slim figure stood quietly. I don't know how long I have been watching it.
Yun Qianyue is not wearing a disciple's uniform, but a purple skirt, covered with purple gauze, almost blending in with the shadow.
Above the purple gauze, those eyes as cold as a cold pool clearly reflected Fang Han standing with a sword in the courtyard, and ripples rose suddenly in the depths of his pupils.
She was also not sleepy and wanted to go out for a walk, but unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at Corridor, she was attracted by the fierce Sword Intent in the courtyard.
She witnessed with her own eyes the whole process of Fang Han's sword training, and even witnessed the astonishing scene where his <Wind Splitting Sword Technique> broke through from "Proficiency Realm" to "Greater Accomplishment" in a very short period of time!
When the last sword was slashed out, the majestic wind and the terrifying sharpness that ripped Void Sundering's energy were no longer something that the Proficiency Realm level could possess!
"He actually broke through to...Greater Accomplishment!"
Yun Qianyue murmured to himself in his heart, his cold eyes full of complicated and unspeakable emotions.
She has been extremely talented since she was a child and is regarded as Yun Clan's unparalleled genius. She has expectations that are comparable to those of Prodigy Ranking's eighteenth sister.
Since Beginner stage Azure Mystery, she has always been firmly at the top of the Zi Courtyard list. Her cultivation and Sword Technique are far ahead of her peers, and she has her own pride in her heart.
Even though Fang Han suddenly emerged and quickly ranked among the top three, although she was surprised, she was still confident that she could beat them.
However, at this moment, her self-confidence suffered an unprecedented impact.
Fang Han's cultivation level, stimulated by the pressure of Seven Sects Competition, has broken through to the middle stage of Grade Eight, which is the same as hers.
Now, her Sword Technique realm has actually caught up with her, and she has also reached Mastery Realm!
This speed of improvement is simply astonishing!
"Is this what... stress feels like?"
Yun Qianyue whispered to himself.
Since Fang Han joined Azure Profound Sect, it has become more and more dazzling like a gem that has been peeled off the stone skin.
Even though she was as cold-hearted as she was, she had never known what pressure was since she started practicing martial arts. At this moment, she felt a real and heavy pressure.
This pressure does not stem from jealousy, but from the instinctive unwillingness and urgency of the strong.
Not willing to be approached or even surpassed by others so quickly, he was so anxious that his own progress seemed slow in comparison.
She stood quietly in the shadows, her slender figure outlined in the moonlight, and the purple gauze blew gently in the wind.
"..."
For a long time, Yun Qianyue took a deep look at the figure in the courtyard who seemed to be still recalling the aftertaste of the breakthrough. The waves in his eyes gradually subsided and turned into a more determined expression.
Pressure is also motivation.
She Yun Qianyue is never afraid of challenges and will never give up easily.
She quietly turned around, and the purple clothes disappeared into the shadows deep in Corridor. Her footsteps were silent, but with a renewed sense of determination.
In the night sky, the moon is as cool as water and the stars are dotted, silently watching the progress and competition of the warriors in the world.
Fang Han seemed to be aware of it. He raised his head and glanced in the direction of Corridor, but saw only the empty moonlight and nothing unusual.
He gathered his mind and once again immersed himself in the realization of Greater Accomplishment Sword Technique.
