Chapter 97: Killing the Sword Soul
Around them are lined up of pavilions, which is the pavilion area, where the disciples of Tianhuoyuan live.
At the farthest point, there is a towering mountain peak. Wenjian Peak, and there is a huge palace located on it. It is extremely wide and majestic, covering an area of at least a hundred feet. It is the main hall of Wenjian Academy. Only people of higher levels, such as the dean and elder, can enter it.
Further to the side, there are several tall peaks, but they are shorter than the main peak, with several branch halls above them.
Looking further to Lin Xiao, there is the central square, and a little closer, there are five peaks where five branches are located.
The entire Sword Academy is located on this majestic mountain range, with distinct hierarchical structures and gorgeous atmosphere. It is worthy of being the first of the four major academies of the Tianxing Empire and one of the three major forces.
From now on, Lin Xiao will spend a long time here, working hard to practice and pursuing the supreme swordsmanship.
He still remembered that his promise to Xue Yang was to step on the spiritual world list and serve as the guardian of the Sword Academy for ten years. After he became stronger, he would help his adoptive father revitalize the Lin family.
After enjoying the scenery for a while, Lin Xiao sat on a futon on the second floor and began to meditate and practice.
But before this, he has to figure out one thing.
Lin Xiao slowly closed his eyes and his spiritual consciousness sank into the sea of consciousness.
Under the starry sky, Lin Xiao came to the tombstone.
"Is there anything wrong?" An old voice came from the tombstone.
"Uncle Bai, I want to ask, the last time I was in the Forest of Demonic Aura, a strong murderous aura suddenly burst out from my body. At that time, I was almost completely controlled by that murderous aura. What was going on?" Lin Xiao asked.
"Kill the Sword Soul!" Bai Yuan said in a deep voice.
"Kill the Sword Soul?" Lin Xiao looked puzzled.
Bai Yuan explained, "Some people have special physical constitutions and have special talents at birth. Some talents will be directly revealed, and some will appear under certain acquired conditions. Therefore, talents are divided into performance talents and hidden talents. You have the heaven-level spiritual vein at birth. This is your performance talent. This sword-killing soul, which you awaken later, is hidden talents."
"Uncle Bai, what is this sword killing soul?" Lin Xiao asked.
"In this world, there are many talented people who are good at swords, guns, sticks, swords, etc., but they all have one similarity, which is that they have spiritual roots."
"Spiritual root?"
Bai Yuan continued, "The so-called spiritual roots are divided into many categories. Take swords as an example, they are divided into sword souls, sword bones, sword roots, sword pupils, etc. Among them, sword souls are the strongest, sword bones are second, followed by sword roots and sword pupils, etc. Similarly, swords are also divided into sword souls, sword bones, etc. People with these spiritual roots will show corresponding talents."
"In addition, each spiritual root has different properties. For example, sword soul, which is divided into the life sword soul, the killing sword soul, the dark sword soul, the light sword soul, the wind sword soul, the power sword soul, etc. Different properties represent the sword path you will take after entering."
"What you awaken is the Killing Sword Soul, which means that you will go to the Killing Sword Way in the future. The greater the killing intention, the stronger the murderous aura, and the more people you kill, the stronger your sword soul will be and your strength will increase sharply. The last time in the Demonic Aura Forest was the sudden rise of your killing intention, so your Killing Sword Soul would awaken."
Upon hearing this, a trace of suddenness flashed through Lin Xiao's eyes. It turned out that this was the case. At that time, Lan Yan'er died to save him. He was in the Forest of Demonic Aura. He was in a state of grief and anger and wanted to kill Dugu Ba and others to take revenge, so he awakened the Killing Sword Soul.
"The Killing Sword Soul is the most murderous and strongest among all sword souls. However, if you want to achieve the supreme sword path, your hands will be covered with blood. Many people are too murderous and kill innocent people indiscriminately, and eventually get into evil spirits. Therefore, people with Killing Sword Souls rarely go far in the sword path because they are easily controlled by murderous aura and become murderous monsters, and their final outcome is often very miserable."
"However, as long as you can always have a mind that distinguishes right from wrong, only kills those who should be killed, only kills evil people, and not kills innocent people indiscriminately, your heart will not corrode the murderous aura, and the sword killing soul can be used for you and you can go further in the sword path."
Lin Xiao nodded seriously, "According to the teachings of his predecessors, I will only kill evil ways and will not kill innocent people indiscriminately."
"I know you are a child with integrity and firm minds, but when it comes to that time, murderous aura will be surging, and it will be difficult for you to control it. This is how I will give you a book of Ice Heart Curse, you can understand it carefully. If you can't control your murderous aura in the future, it will be of great help to you."
"Thank you, Uncle Bai." Lin Xiao bowed his fists.
Then, a white light shot out from the tombstone and entered Lin Xiao's eyebrows.
In an instant, Lin Xiao felt a tide of information pouring into his mind, and he recorded it all.
"Now your sword soul awakens, and your understanding in swordsmanship will be higher, and you will learn swordsmanship quickly. However, your sword soul has not yet fully awakened, and at most only one-third of it has awakened."
"Uncle Bai, how can we fully awaken the sword soul?"
"If you awaken the sword soul, you need the Soul Condensation Grass, but for you now, improving your strength is the first thing to do. Even one-third of the sword soul is completely enough for you to use it now. In addition, there is another important thing."
"You have to collect a wisp of residual soul for me as soon as possible. You must know that every time I teach you a skill, my soul power will weaken a little. From now on, until you find a wisp of residual soul, I can't give you the wisp of residual soul anymore, otherwise my wisp of residual soul may be broken."
Lin Xiao nodded and said firmly, "I understand, Uncle Bai, I will definitely find the whereabouts of your remnant soul as soon as possible."
