Chapter 255 - Round Two Stage One Part Two

Ah Chun stared at the large stone with the sword scars marked on them. The stone was five times the height of Ah Chun and also a few meters thick. After almost two days of staring at the large stone, Ah Chun slowly closed her eyes as she contemplated the over the marks. She could picture in her mind each step taken to create these marks. But she felt no spirit power coming from these marks at all. This finding caused Ah Chun to become excited! 

Normally when you see a long deep sword scar there would be a trace of spirit power left over from the one who created it. This was if the sword scar was created by using spirit power and converting it into sword qi. Once the sword qi hit its target it would then transform back into spirit power since it was not actual sword qi but more of a manifestation of sword qi. After getting an understanding that it was not spirit power, made Ah Chun understand that she now had to discover the essence of sword qi. Because she knew the marks on the large stone were not done with the blade of a weapon.

Days, weeks, and months passed within the mystic realm.  Many of the other disciples had come and tried their luck to understand the sword scars. After only a few days or a week, they would give up. Some looked at Ah Chun curiously. Not just because of her appearance but because she would sit facing the large stone with her eyes closed the entire time. 

Someone in qi gathering could go without sleep for months. Though she still needed to eat a single food pellet each month so that she did not starve. It would not be until she reached the qi condensation stage that she would not need to eat or sleep anymore and just cultivating was enough to keep her alive. 

A total of six months passed and a few disciples who had been watching Ah Chun from afar finally decided to come over and see what was so interesting about the large stone. "Bah! I have been sitting here staring at this damn rock for three days! There is nothing special about it!"

"I think she probably does not understand how to actually comprehend things and she is just sitting here with her eyes closed sleeping."

"Yeah, she is just showing off! How she is able to sit in one position for months at a time. I bet if we kick her she will fall over and cry… Hey? Where this wind come from?"

The disciples standing near Ah Chun suddenly felt the air become heavy around Ah Chun. they all turned their gazes on to her. The air currents swirled around Ah Chun causing her hanfu to flutter. The disciple closest to her felt that the air was extremely sharp almost as if thousands of swords were slicing through the air.

"Hey what's going on, what is this!? This isn't spirit power!"

"Quickly get away from her!" 

The one closest to Ah Chun was too slow as the air around Ah Chun started to turn into thousands of mini swords. His robes were sliced to pieces as many sword wounds appeared on his skin, causing blood to drip out of his wounds. He screamed out in pain and fell to the floor. 

"Quickly drag him back! What the hell is that!?" 

Someone who had a bit more understanding shouted out. "It's Sword Qi! But that's impossible! Its only been shown in ancient records that sword qi was possible but no one in over tens of thousands of years has been able to achieve it! This little girl is only a rank one qi gathering cultivator! It's not possible!"

As the disciples looked on the yelling and screaming caused the rest of the disciples to begin gathering near Ah Chun. They watched as the sword qi around Ah Chun got stronger and stronger as it spread out. Her hair fluttered under the whirlwind of sword qi. Small sword scars started to appear on the ground around her and anything in the radius of fifty centimeters that the sword qi touched. Ah Chun opened her eyes and a bright smile appeared on her face as she felt the sword qi within her body.

Not able to hide her joy Ah Chun could not help but shout out: "I did it!"

Ignoring all the eyes around her, Ah Chun stood up and looked at the large stone in front of her. She raised her hand and pointed a finger into the air. And as if she was casually slashing out with her finger sword lights appeared in the air full of sword qi. Sharp and deadly they flew out and landed on the large stone in the exact positions of the sword scar markings that were originally there. As she finished the last slash, Ah Chun felt like she was struck by enlightenment. Her smile became even more profound as she realized that the marks were a type of attack that utilized sword qi and if executed quickly enough it would leave no opening for her opponent to escape. It was a deadly and vicious attack almost like a dragon's claw tearing its prey to shreds. A total of one hundred slashes that with each slash a dragon's roar could be faintly heard within the sword qi. 

"Hmm... I will call this Dragons Slash! With this, I can protect myself better. I will need to improve upon it and create some techniques or maybe find places that have sword marks that I can comprehend… but for now, I still have a lot of time. I will go look at other Daos" Ah Chun muttered to herself, she ignored the stares of those around her and headed off to look at more objects that contained Daos.
