After reuniting with the other disciples, Su Yunfei and the others began to return to Shushan Sword Tomb. On the way, they visited great rivers, mountains, bustling cities, and tasted special delicacies.
After learning that they were disciples of Shushan Jianzhong, the shopkeepers of the inns and restaurants were determined not to take any of their money. This made everyone feel honored and warm, but they still paid the money secretly when they left.
There has never been a precedent among the disciples of Shushan Jianzhong where someone dared not pay for food and accommodation.
After walking and playing like this for seven days, they returned to Shushan Sword Tomb.
Nearly six thousand disciples of the Shushan Sword Tomb have been waiting for a long time in the square with the statue of the founder. When they saw their colleagues who had gone to the far north to besiege and kill the young geniuses of the demon clan, stepped into the mountain gate, everyone unsheathed their swords and flew their swords.
They drew streaks of brilliant sword light toward the sky, and then they all shouted: "Welcome to your fellow disciples to triumph!"
The momentum was so great and the shouts were loud that all the disciples who returned from Shushan Jianzhong were excited and moved. No matter where they go, Shushan will always be their home and their most solid support!
The nearly 6,000-year-old disciples lined up on both sides to make way for a road. They watched them return to the back mountain with respect from the bottom of their hearts. They especially looked at Su Yunfei, Ye Qingcheng and Dongfang Nan with special admiration.
Murong Zhan announced that the disciples who participated in the siege of the young geniuses of the demon clan would be rewarded with three opportunities to enter the trial tower to practice swordsmanship. The fallen disciples' memorial tablets would be placed in the Sword Town Tower, and their remains would be buried in the Sword Tomb.
On that day, all the disciples wore white robes and held swords against their foreheads for the fallen disciples at the Sword Tomb and bowed three times.

As soon as Su Yunfei returned to Wangqing Peak, Yueyao gave him a big hug and cried with joy. She was extremely worried these days.
Especially when she heard the news that many monks had fallen from the human race, and that Su Yunfei was abandoned by the Qingyun Sect and faced the siege of forty demon cultivators alone, she was worried, but she couldn't do anything. She couldn't sleep or eat well these days, and she was very thin.
A lot.
Su Yunfei looked at Yueyao distressedly and said comfortingly: "Sister Yueyao, don't cry. Look, I'm back well."
Then Su Yunfei told her about the experience of killing monsters in the north. Yueyao was extremely nervous when she heard that. She clenched her pink fists so hard that her fingers almost pricked her palms. She kept saying: "It's too dangerous, it's too dangerous."
Yueyao did not continue to pester him and asked him to have a good sleep. He must not have slept well these days.
In his dream, he kept dreaming of a scene: a man whose face could not be seen clearly, who seemed to be seriously injured. He staggered into a cave, and then used a steam engine to carve words on the stone wall. Suddenly he turned around
After looking at the entrance of the cave, he hurried out and the scene stopped abruptly.
Su Yunfei woke up from his dream, his forehead was covered with sweat. Then he thought that the dream should be about that stone wall, but the man's face was too blurry and he couldn't see it clearly. After a while, he couldn't remember the dream at all.
The picture appeared. This annoyed him so much that he simply stopped thinking about it and fell into a deep sleep.
After Su Yunfei returned to Shushan Sword Tomb, he had a good rest for three days. During these three days, he did not practice. Instead, he accompanied Ye Qingcheng and Yueyao to visit several surrounding cities and ate hot pot several times. This made his state of mind
Extremely relaxing.
On the fourth day, he decided to go to the trial tower to practice swordsmanship. The trial tower is a nine-story sword tower thirty feet high. From a distance, it looks like a giant sword pointing to the sky. It was built by Duguye, the founder of the Shushan Sword Tomb Sect.
, using the magical power of Sumerna Mustard Seed, the space in the tower is unusually vast and can accommodate hundreds of disciples at a time to hone their sword skills.
In the tower, you can hone your sword intention, sword skills, sword energy, sword power, wooden dummy stakes, shadow training, gravity field, enlightenment field, etc. It is a magical place where you can quickly improve your sword skills.
However, since the trial tower requires a huge amount of crystals to be opened each time, it can only be opened for three hours every day. Only disciples who have made significant contributions to the sect or have extremely strong talents are eligible to enter the trial tower.
Therefore, whether one is qualified to enter the Trial Tower is also one of the criteria for measuring a disciple's status and talent in the sect.
The trial tower was on a small peak behind Tianjian Peak. Su Yunfei arrived with his sword quickly. When he arrived at the door, he saw an old man carrying a sword box on his back.
The old man should be the guardian of the sword tower. When he saw Su Yunfei walking towards him, he smiled and said: "Little boy, you did a great job in the north. If the human race has more sword cultivators like you, the chance of winning in the future will be greater."
.”
Su Yunfei smiled, gave the old man a gift, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your appreciation, senior. Can you give me some advice on which part of the tower should be tested first by this junior?"
The old man stroked his beard, which was not very long, thought for a moment, and said: "Every monk's biggest enemy is often himself. You can go to the shadow training place. Just enter the third small door on the right side of the door."
Su Yunfei thanked the old man and then entered the door. There are no stairs in the trial tower. There are many doors on the first floor. If you enter the door, you will be transported to the relevant venue.
After entering the door, a green light flashed under his feet. After a brief dizziness, he came to an open field. The field was very large, with a length and width of ten thousand feet.
There were two light balls on the wall behind him, with the words "beginning" and "end" written on them respectively. Su Yunfei pressed the light ball with the "beginning" engraved on it without thinking.
I saw a man in front of me who looked exactly like Su Yunfei. Even the sword was exactly the same, but that man had a cold face and a serious smile.
It turns out that the shadow trial means making a copy of yourself and then fighting against yourself.
The two drew their swords and started fighting. With the same sword intent and the same sword skills, the two were inseparable. Su Yunfei couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "So I am so strong?"
Putting aside his narcissistic heart, he found that his moves, strength, speed and skills still had great deficiencies.
So while observing his other self's moves, he found the flaws, and then continued to make up for his own shortcomings. Finally, after more than a hundred rounds, the shadow was slashed and flew out, and then slowly dissipated into nothingness, followed by an endless streak.
A voice mixed with any emotion suddenly appeared: "Do you want to continue the trial?"
Su Yunfei didn't even think about it and replied directly: "Continue!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two selves appeared in front of him, and he had the urge to scold him. One of them was so indistinguishable from each other, how could they fight? It was equivalent to fighting Dongfang Nan and Ye Qingcheng at the same time. But he was also wary in his heart.
With high aspirations, there is no better way to hone your sword skills than a strong opponent.
After the fight, he was shocked. These two selves were after he made up for his own shortcomings.
The fight lasted only a quarter of an hour before he was slashed and flew away. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shouted loudly: "Come again!"
This time he discovered some flaws in himself, and continued to improve. His speed became faster and faster, his reaction ability became stronger and stronger, and his sword energy became more and more powerful. In the end, the two of him were slashed and flew out.
Dissipate slowly.
Su Yunfei lay on the ground panting heavily, carefully recalling the details of the battle, and found many flaws, so he started to try again, and finally after five trials.
The voice without any emotion sounded again: "The trial is over. Congratulations on successfully passing the trial. Please press the end light ball. I wish you will go further and further in the future of swordsmanship."
Su Yunfei bowed to the air, then pressed the end light ball and was teleported out of the trial tower.
Seeing Su Yunfei being teleported out, the old man looked at him in surprise and asked: "Little boy, did you pass the trial? Or were you killed by the shadow?"
Su Yunfei smiled and said: "Senior, I have passed the test."
The old man was stunned for a while, and finally said with an appreciative smile: "That's right! You are the fastest young disciple to pass the test in the past five thousand years. You are half an hour faster than Ye Nuwa. You passed it in two hours.
, what a gift."
Su Yunfei saluted, accepted the old man's praise with a smile, and then said: "Senior, I still have an hour left, which venue do you think I need to go to for training?"
The old man stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Young man, if you are too impatient to eat hot tofu, you should first digest the insights from today's trial. Then you will naturally know where you are going to trial tomorrow."
Su Yunfei bowed and said, "Thank you, senior!"
The old man nodded in response.
Returning to Wangqing Peak, he slowly realized the results of today's trial, and then confirmed what should be improved next. He decided to go to the gravity field tomorrow to increase his speed.
The next day, Su Yunfei arrived at the trial tower. After saying hello to the old man guarding the tower, he entered the door of the gravity field.
The area of the gravity field is about the same as that of the shadow sparring field. There are ten light balls on the wall, which read: twice the gravity, three times the gravity, and up to the eleventh gravity. After that, there is no more. The eleventh gravity is enough.
It's quite unbearable.
Su Yunfei set a goal for himself. Under normal circumstances, he can strike thirty swords in one breath, so he must be able to strike thirty swords in one breath under every gravity condition. In this way, returning to normal gravity, his speed increase will be terrifying.
He pressed the double-gravity beam without hesitation. Suddenly, the ground trembled, and invisible pressure seemed to fall from the sky. He took two steps and felt as if he was carrying a stone weighing more than 200 kilograms.
He started to swing his sword, and in one breath he only slashed ten swords. It seemed that the increase in gravity was not directly proportional to the number of swings.
Su Yunfei kept swinging the sword, kept swinging the sword, from ten swords to fifteen swords in one breath, then to twenty swords. When he could swing twenty-five swords, his arms had no strength, so he sat cross-legged and adjusted
Rested for a quarter of an hour.
Then he continued to swing the sword, and finally he was able to swing thirty swords with one sword under twice the gravity.
Without too much joy, he pressed the triple gravity button. After adapting to double gravity, triple gravity, he quickly adapted to it, and then it took him nearly an hour to achieve triple gravity.
, one sword swing made thirty swords.
When the time finally came, he was teleported directly out of the trial tower and returned to normal gravity. He was a little uncomfortable. When he first started walking, he stepped hard on the ground and jumped more than ten feet. The fellow students who passed by looked at him strangely.
, I feel that this little junior brother is really... maverick...
Su Yunfei decided to practice in the gravity field for the next few days until he achieved his goal. Anyway, he could enter the trial tower unlimited times.
