Chapter 68 – I am also Condensation Pill Realm, a killing blow to the spirit!
Members of the Limitless Sword Sect and the Kunlun Sword Sect did not take the stage.
After this battle, Jiang Poyue would continue his literary competition at both the Limitless Sword Sect and the Kunlun Sword Sect.
Today's literary competition was specifically prepared for the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.
"Disciples of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, both from the inner gates and the core, have almost all been defeated. It looks like it's about time for the enforcers to step in," Liu Yanping whispered to Meng Fan.
Meng Fan nodded, but added, "The enforcers won't easily take the stage. After all, if they lose, it would be too embarrassing. They'll only step up if they're certain of victory."
"Really? Even if Jiang Poyue is strong, he's just a core disciple of the Kunlun Sword Sect. Our enforcers from the Shu Mountain Sword Sect wouldn't lose face like that, would they?"
"You've forgotten, this competition is only about sword techniques, not cultivation levels. Many enforcers are only higher in realm, which doesn't mean their sword techniques are also superior!"
"That's true."Fiind updated novels at novelhall.com
In this Shu Mountain Swordsmanship Competition, it's normal for anyone to win or lose; it's not shameful.
But if an enforcer steps forward and still loses, then the Shu Mountain Sword Sect would truly lose all face.
Therefore, it's normal for the enforcers to be cautious about entering the fray; they really can't afford to lose!
On the Heaven-Connecting Platform, it had been a while since any disciple from the Shu Mountain Sword Sect had stepped up.
Jiang Poyue looked around and then loudly said, "It seems no disciples are prepared to take the stage. I, Jiang Poyue, am not much, but I wonder which enforcer from the Shu Mountain Sword Sect would be willing to enlighten me?"
Hearing Jiang Poyue's words, the expressions of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect's crowd turned sour.
It was normal for no one to take the stage.
But now, with Jiang Poyue actively challenging them, akin to a provocation, if no enforcer stepped up, the Shu Mountain Sword Sect would still lose face today.
Jiang Poyue was really not playing by the rules!
Many people looked at Jiang Poyue with dissatisfaction.
Yet, Jiang Poyue remained expressionless, completely unconcerned.
A young man who isn't a little arrogant is wasting his youth!
He indeed had the capital to be confident.
Moreover, he wasn't from the Shu Mountain Sword Sect. What did it matter to him if he offended them?
After all, he was about to leave with the Kunlun Sword Sect soon.
Sparring with an enforcer from the Shu Mountain Sword Sect was a plan he had set earlier.
Moments later, someone dressed in the enforcer's attire of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect stepped onto the Heaven-Connecting Platform.
Meng Fan naturally didn't recognize this person, nor did he know their realm.
But at this time, looking at realms was meaningless; what mattered was the strength of their sword techniques.
"Who is this person?" Meng Fan asked Liu Yanping.
Liu Yanping smiled smugly, thinking to herself that Meng Fan, who had shown off a little news before, still had to consult her now.
"Call me Senior Sister!"
"Uh, Senior Sister Liu, who is this person?"
"He's an enforcer from the Enforcement Hall of our Shu Mountain Sword Sect. I only know everyone calls him Enforcer Yang; I don't know his actual name."
Meng Fan nodded and didn't ask further.
He was also curious about the sword technique of this enforcer.
The enforcer who dared to be the first to take the stage must be extremely proficient in sword techniques.
Perhaps he was even the strongest among the enforcers, which is why he was pushed to the forefront.
Honestly speaking, the Shu Mountain Sword Sect really couldn't afford to lose. If they did, it would be a huge embarrassment.
Even more seriously, they might not be able to lift their heads in front of the Limitless Sword Sect and the Kunlun Sword Sect.
"Because... Sword Soul! " Meng Fan uttered four words.
Sword Soul?
Liu Yanping suddenly realized.
For sword cultivators, cultivating Sword Intent was already extremely difficult.
To go further and cultivate Sword Momentum was even harder.
As for Sword Soul, that was something ordinary people wouldn't even dare to dream of. Only the most exceptional sword geniuses had the hope of cultivating a Sword Soul.
This was truly one in ten thousand, or even one in a million!
Liu Yanping was filled with envy. The concept of Sword Soul was too far-fetched for her, something she didn't even dare to dream about.
In fact, even the idea of Sword Momentum was beyond her imagination.
Sword Soul, she probably had no hope of cultivating it in this lifetime.
"By the way, Meng Fan, have you cultivated Sword Momentum?" Liu Yanping suddenly asked.
"No," Meng Fan shook his head.
"Then how can you say you can defeat Jiang Poyue? He has cultivated Sword Momentum, but you haven't. What will you use to fight him?" Liu Yanping seized the opportunity to mock Meng Fan.
Mocking Meng Fan was a rare opportunity, and she was determined to take advantage of it.
Meng Fan just smiled, offering no explanation.
Although he hadn't cultivated Sword Momentum, that didn't mean he couldn't defeat Jiang Poyue, who had.
The most important thing was that Meng Fan hadn't cultivated Sword Momentum because he had been restraining himself, or rather, suppressing himself.
In fact, with his accumulation in the way of the sword, he could easily cultivate Sword Momentum with techniques like Emerald Sea Tide Rises Sword, Mountain Splitting Sword Technique, or even Thunderous Sword Technique.
With his sword technique accumulation, none of these were difficult!
But the first Sword Momentum he wanted to cultivate was "Sword Comes."
This first move of Myriad Swords Returning to me, "Sword Comes," was created by Meng Fan himself, integrating the strengths of many schools and absorbing the essence of countless sword techniques.
In Meng Fan's view, only the Sword Momentum of "Sword Comes" was worthy of the term for him!
However, Meng Fan's accumulation was still insufficient, as Myriad Swords Returning to me required an extremely profound sword technique foundation.
But once Meng Fan visited the Sword God Stele for enlightenment again, he would definitely be able to perceive the Sword Momentum of "Sword Comes."
Once the Sword Comes Sword Momentum was achieved, the Sword Momentum of Emerald Sea Tide Rises Sword, Mountain Splitting Sword Momentum, and Thunderous Sword Technique would all come naturally, easily within reach.
On the Heaven-Connecting Platform, Jiang Poyue got up, looking at Yang Yifang with a solemn expression.
Others might suspect that Yang Yifang used his cultivation level, but he knew very well that Yang Yifang did not; it was the pure power of sword technique.
Meng Fan could see the Sword Soul, and he could too.
So, he didn't feel wronged by his loss, as he had always wanted to cultivate a Sword Soul but had not found the way.
The sword technique foundation needed to cultivate a Sword Soul was something he still lacked.
However, he believed that with his talent, he would eventually be able to cultivate a Sword Soul.
At least, by the time he reached the Summoning God Realm, he should be able to cultivate a Sword Soul.
Jiang Poyue looked at Yang Yifang and said loudly, "You are indeed strong, worthy of being an enforcer of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect. I believe you must be the best among the enforcers. When I reach the Summoning God Realm, I will come to seek your guidance again!"
Yang Yifang calmly glanced at Jiang Poyue and said indifferently, "I am also at the Condensation Pill Realm!"
Jiang Poyue's mention of seeking guidance once he reached the Summoning God Realm was actually because he was not convinced, thinking that Yang Yifang was at the Summoning God Realm, so it was normal for him to be stronger.
Once he reached the Summoning God Realm himself, he believed he could definitely defeat Yang Yifang.
Yang Yifang clearly heard Jiang Poyue's reluctance to accept defeat, so he calmly stated that he was at the Condensation Pill Realm.
This was... a killing blow to the spirit!
