Zhang Daocheng looked at the darkness around him and simply sat down cross-legged.

He was different from Lao Wang. After he took this assessment, as soon as he entered the secret realm, he arrived at a place similar to a training ground and kendo gym. Moreover, it was surrounded by darkness and silence. He tried to wander around for a long time, and this darkness

It seems endless and there is no way out.

It is human nature to be greedy for life and afraid of death. After all, practitioners practice various spells and attacks. In addition to cultivating themselves, they are also seeking skills to survive under the enemy's blade.

The so-called practice is something that is always accompanied by danger. Only a single blow at the risk of one's life can open the way to survival.

That is to say, put it to death and live again.

This truth seems extremely difficult to understand at first glance.

But after Zhang Daocheng practiced in this kendo hall, his sword skills and spirit reached a new level, and he naturally began to have some feelings about the mystery of life and death.

There are many kinds of swordsmanship, some are swordsmanship that put life and death aside, some swordsmanship is focused on defense, and some swordsmanship is both offensive and defensive.

Beyond life and death, there is no life or death, just no thoughts and no thoughts, and you must do your best.

But getting to this point is not an easy task.

This requires years of hard training, constant honing of sword skills and spirit, in order to gradually get closer to this goal.

The current Zhang Daocheng has only just touched this level.

There was darkness all around, and Zhang Daocheng sat quietly on the ground. I don't know how long it took, but a voice seemed to vaguely ring in his ears. Zhang Daocheng listened attentively, and the voice was intermittent.

"...to move slowly and lean forward, to jump forward and backward, to move forward and backward, with flexible and steady steps, clear and changeable swordsmanship, strong and soft sword movements, the divine sword is integrated into one, with various postures and changes, integrating the aura of heaven and earth, and breathing naturally..."

Judging from some of the content Zhang Daocheng heard, it seemed that they were some instructions about practicing swordsmanship. However, he did not understand how such a situation could occur at the assessment site, and he was greatly puzzled.

After listening attentively for a long time, Zhang Daocheng suddenly stood up. His body stood upright, his arms drooped naturally, his left hand held the hilt of the sword behind his back, the blade of the sword was close to the back of his arm, and the sword of his right hand pointed downwards. He looked forward, seemingly open and sometimes closed.

"call!"

Zhang Daocheng suddenly moved. He took a step forward with his left foot and followed with his right foot. His feet were slightly apart. At the same time, he raised his arms forward to shoulder width and eye level. He inhaled and exhaled when his arms fell.

As Zhang Daocheng exhaled, a stream of white air came out of his mouth like an arrow.

Then he took a step forward with his left foot, turned his body to the left, then followed with his right foot and placed it next to his left foot. His legs slightly squatted in parallel steps. At the same time, he pointed his right sword to his left and bent his elbow, with his palm facing left and fingertips pointing upward.

Level with chest.

Then take a step back with your right foot, turn your body to the right, and form a left three-dimensional step. At the same time, use your left hand to sword

Bend your elbows and lean them against your chest, with your palms facing outward and the sword tip forward and at shoulder level.

Then he swung the sword fingers of his right hand to the right side of his head, palm outward, fingertips forward, clasping the inside of the wrist, holding the sword hilt with his right hand, twisting his body to the left, and at the same time holding the sword in his right hand, it dropped to the outside of his right hip, the tip of the sword

Point forward and level with your hips, place the sword finger of your left hand next to your left hip, and clasp your fingertips forward and inside your wrist.

Zhang Daocheng took a step forward with his left foot, and at the same time thrust the sword of his right hand straight forward to form a sword. The fingers of the left sword were attached to his right wrist, and he looked at the tip of the sword.

.

Then he twisted his body to the right, lifted his right foot up and placed it on the inside of the inner ankle of his left foot to form a left shin step. At the same time, he brought the sword in his right hand back to the right side of his abdomen, with the sword tip diagonally upward. The left sword finger did not move and he looked at the sword tip.

Then twist the body to the left, take a step forward with the right foot, follow with the left foot half a step into a right two-body step, and at the same time, the sword in the right hand collapses forward, the tip of the sword is slightly higher than the level of the chest, the left sword finger does not move, and the sword tip is looked at.

Zhang Daocheng's movements are very coherent. When holding the sword, you should straighten your wrist and bend your elbow. Use your waist strength to put the force on the front of the sword. To collapse and stand the sword, your wrist should sink quickly, and use the elasticity of your wrist to turn it up sharply. The speed should be fast.

The arm should be straight, with the force reaching the tip of the sword, and the tip of the sword pointed upward.

Then he used his left foot as a pivot, turned right, and took a step back with his right foot. At the same time, he hung the sword in his right hand downwards, then extended the left sword finger to clasp it in the wrist, level with his shoulder, and looked at the tip of the sword.

Then Zhang Daocheng turned his body back to the right, swinging his right toes out to form a right shear step. At the same time, his right sword wrist was rotated internally and his elbow was raised to the right side of his head. The sword tip was forward and at eyebrow level, looking ahead.

Then twist the back body to the left, take a step forward with the left foot, lift the heel of the right foot on the inside of the left ankle, forming a left shin step. At the same time, the sword of the right hand is thrust forward, level with the chest, and the left sword finger is attached to the outside of the right wrist.

, fingertips upward.

Zhang Daocheng's hand and sword were fixed in a straight line, and they remained still, as if they would stand there forever. After a long time, he suddenly stopped.

Just now he was listening to the vague words in the darkness, and it was as if he had a clear understanding in his heart, and he miraculously used this set of swordsmanship.

After using this set of swordsmanship, Zhang Daocheng felt that he seemed to have a clear understanding in his heart. His understanding of this swordsmanship had reached a new stage, but he did not want to speak out the details.

Know where to start.

But strangely enough, just when Zhang Daocheng felt that he had some enlightenment, the surrounding darkness was like snow under the sun, quickly dissipating like the ebbing tide, and was soon occupied by light.

He looked around him and found that there were beautiful mountains and rivers.

He was now in the wild, and in the distance he could still see the eagle soaring in the sky.

I really can't believe that I was in a place like this just now, and the surroundings were completely dark.

This kind of magical situation should not happen according to normal principles, but it happened here.

In Zhang Daocheng's heart, he can only attribute it to that god

A great ancestor.

Thinking about it, this is also the situation caused by the ancestor's great magic power, right?

I just didn't expect that in such a simple matter, the foreigner's treasure would be used in the promotion competition assessment of the outer disciples.

Zhang Daocheng carefully took back the sword in his hand, then he looked around and walked forward, where he could see a circular building from which the sound of evil people always came.

There seemed to be some important event being held inside, so he walked over.

This seemingly round building is particularly tall, with high-end pillars made of white marble and carved with strange reliefs. It always has a sense of sanctity, making Zhang Daocheng's steps become lighter and lighter.

People are becoming more and more careful.

The closer we got to the circular building, the louder the sounds inside became, as if there were many people inside.

Zhang Daocheng also found it strange that although there were many handyman disciples in the Sword Alliance, not many took part in the assessment for the promotion of disciples from the outer sect this time.

This is because this assessment is conducted in advance, so everyone has a clear understanding of their own strength.

Those who dare to jump out and participate are those who think they have some strength and think they are okay, like these tiger ministers. They are even considered elites.

You know, even if you are only in a small team, there are only so many captains you can become, so you can guess your strength.

Zhang Daocheng could never imagine why there were so many people in this place. So he mustered up the courage to enter through the door.

Although this building looks very tall, there is actually no one guarding the door. That Zhang Daocheng walked in so arrogantly.

As soon as he entered, he heard a sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami, and he almost jumped out of the door immediately.

But when he took a closer look, he discovered that the roaring sound was not directed at him.

This venue was full of people from bottom to top. Not only were the rows of seats filled with people, but the aisles were also filled with people.

These people were very excited now and shouted loudly.

And right in the middle of this circular venue, Zhang Daocheng found a group of people fighting each other, and there were many ferocious wild monsters around them, and they would pounce on them from time to time, biting one of their arms.

He bit the thigh off and ate it, biting off one piece and swallowing it quickly.

Zhang Daocheng was not a newbie, but he still felt a little frightened when he saw this dangerous scene.

He looked carefully and found that the person he was fighting in that scene actually looked like a handyman disciple of their Sword Alliance.
