The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Chapter 534 The True Swordsman

This is a middle-aged monk with a short beard, his hair all tied up on top of his head and fixed with a jade hairpin, he is dressed neatly, with a sword on his back, and his edge is restrained.

Xiao Han had seen this kind of person in Sword Test City.

This is the kind of person who truly practices only one sword technique throughout his life, a true swordsman.

Xiao Han felt that he, a so-called swordsman who had only been practicing sword for a short time, whose sword moves were not proficient and who had not comprehended the sword intent, was simply a joke in front of the other party.

His inflated self-confidence was shattered, and after feeling deep despair, Xiao Han immediately changed his mindset.

On the front line where hundreds of thousands of troops gathered, he only relied on devouring a little spiritual energy from the powerful monsters to possess a powerful spiritual power far beyond his peers. This was how he cheated and squeezed into the final competition for the entire army's list.

So, isn't it normal to lose when encountering a true master? Isn't it a rare opportunity to be able to fight with a true sword master?

Xiao Han, who is very good at judging the situation and making his own strategies, immediately took a learning attitude towards the game.

The middle-aged swordsman did not underestimate his opponent. He drew his sword early and was ready to fight at any time.

After the referee shouted the start of the game, a sword beam with overwhelming power to destroy everything attacked Xiao Han.

Xiao Han, who had already focused all his attention, naturally did not dare to be careless and swung his sword to resist.

Thanks to the blessing of the top-grade magic weapon, the Sky-Breaking Sword, she was finally defeated without a single move.

However, the huge spiritual power impact still made her retreat so far that she almost hit the forbidden light curtain of the arena.

Xiao Han held the Sky-Breaking Sword and flew forward quickly without hesitation.

In front of such a master, if she didn't use her mental strength as a trump card, it would be very difficult for her to win, let alone hold on for a few breaths.

Seeing that she was not defending herself carefully and was actively approaching to attack, the other party immediately became alert.

The long sword in his hand flew rapidly, and the sword shadows were heavy, forming an impenetrable defensive barrier.

At this time, Xiao Han's mental attack also arrived. However, his previously invincible trump card only made the opponent dazed for a very short time.

Under the protective circle formed by the opponent's sword energy, the sneak attack she wanted to launch was of no use.

The sword energies collided, making crisp tinkling sounds, but failed to cause any harm to the opponent.

Instead, the middle-aged swordsman who had regained consciousness shook his wrist and swung his sword like thunder, slashing towards Xiao Han.

Xiao Han waved her sword to block, but the huge impact of spiritual power made her arms numb, and she took several steps back in the void.

The middle-aged swordsman obviously realized what Xiao Han's trump card was, and immediately took advantage of the situation to pursue him. His sword skills unfolded like a violent storm, with each move faster than the last, and each sword more fierce than the last.

Xiao Han struggled to hold on, but he couldn't launch another mental attack.

Finally, under the overwhelming siege of sword shadows, Xiao Han, knowing that he could not resist, shouted loudly, "I give up!"

The next moment, a powerful spiritual barrier blocked her, protecting her from this unstoppable killing move.

However, it was the Divine Transformation cultivator who served as the referee who took action.

Since he couldn't win anyway, Xiao Han didn't want to end up seriously injured.

"Number one hundred and thirty-eight wins this match!"

After announcing the results of the competition, the Divine Transformation Monk flew away.

Xiao Han and the middle-aged swordsman both held the sword in their right hands, with their left palms placed on the back of their right hands, level with their chests. They exchanged a bow from a distance, ending the match in a friendly manner.

Qu Zhiyun, who had specially changed her patrol time to come watch her match, patted her arm and consoled her, "You did very well. Since you can't beat him, there's no shame in admitting defeat. Not only is his cultivation level higher than yours, he's also a swordsman, so it's normal for you to lose."

Xiao Han nodded and sighed, "Pure sword cultivation is indeed powerful. I feel like I have learned a lot from today's match."

In order to earn more points, Qu Zhiyun participated in patrols almost every day. Her enthusiasm was even greater than that of Xie Yi.

The two sisters chatted for a while, watched a few other people's fights, and then Qu Zhiyun hurried back.

Xiao Han hurried off to take a personal portrait of the demon cultivator. Once the hype about the personal portraits wore off, she wouldn't be able to make extra money this easily anymore.

After a busy day, Xiao Han finally collected 30,000 points and immediately contacted Xie Yi.

Seeing that she had gathered 30,000 points so quickly, Xie Yi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and smiled: "Speaking of which, you are quite good at making money, but why do I always feel that you are very poor?"

Xiao Han: This is a good question. Don’t ask it again next time. It’s too hurtful.

She raised her head and snorted, "We are spending all our money on the most important things. Look at my cultivation level, it's all built up with spirit stones."

Xie Yi nodded in agreement, "Indeed, with your talent, if you didn't rely on the spirit stones, you wouldn't be where you are today."

Xiao Han was immediately displeased. My qualifications may not be good in the early stages, but I will have an advantage in the later stages.

She decided to give the other person a stab. "By the way, Alliance Leader, have you collected all the treasures you need to replenish your spirit? Four of them, that's quite difficult, isn't it?"

After saying that, he slapped his forehead again and said, "Oh, I forgot, I still have two spiritual treasures in my hand, the Earth Core Stone and the Wood Core Liquid. I'll give them to you first."

Xiao Han really forgot that she had obtained a piece of Earth Core Stone from the White Tiger Demon Cultivator Bai Yun, and the Wood Heart Spirit Liquid was obtained in the secret realm.

The main reason was that she couldn't use it herself and just wanted to keep it in the storage ring as a trump card to exchange for other treasures in the future, and she forgot that Xie Yi should be able to use it.

After hearing her sarcastic teasing, Xie Yi wanted to hit her again and tell her that she was not destined to be rich and powerful. But when he heard that she was willing to give him the treasure that could replenish her spirit, he was a little touched.

Alas, this woman is still as simple-minded as ever.

"My reward for winning first place on the Heavenly Ranking this time is five spiritual treasures. Even if you don't need your share, you can keep it and exchange it with others for other treasures later. Don't waste it carelessly."

When Xiao Han heard this, he immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "This reward is so thoughtful."

She finally understood what it meant to be a son of destiny, the male protagonist Long Aotian. He relied on his own combat power to gather all the treasures he needed without any effort.

In addition, with the assistance of the great demon Hu Yun, it would be strange if his cultivation level did not rise like a rocket.

Sigh! As for herself, whether it was the points she earned in the next stage or the points Sister Yun returned, she would use them all to exchange for Spirit Jade Marrow for cultivation.

She doesn't have incredible luck, but she is already satisfied as long as she can make money to improve her cultivation.

For the next ten years, no large-scale fighting broke out on the front line.

The small-scale attack by alien monsters sent out to test the coalition forces was simply a gift of heads to the coalition monks who wanted to earn points.

For this reason, the four major camps did not allow each other to cross the border to join the battle, so as not to snatch the opportunity to kill monsters and earn points.

Just when the top leaders of the coalition forces were hesitating whether to keep a large army to garrison or cut the army by half and reduce military spending, the spiritual cannon was finally produced.
