wer surged within him, and in an instant, a terrifying aura of blood essence erupted from his body.He had been sitting cross-legged on this cultivation platform, feeling the changes after his breakthr..."The Fourth Mountain Master, the only direct disciple" Su Xin was taken aback, a little frightened by this title.

The current six masters of Jiusheng Mountain, except for the sixth master, are all incredibly ancient beings.

Is this kind of super-being's direct disciple, the only one

"Su Xin, you may not know that among the six mountain masters of Jiusheng Mountain, only the fourth mountain master is a woman. And the fourth mountain master has an even more eccentric personality. She has been the mountain master for over a thousand years, and she has only symbolically accepted some registered disciples. As for direct disciples, there isn't a single one."

"And just a short time ago, this Fourth Mountain Master actually brought back a young girl from outside and took her as his personal disciple. This incident caused quite a stir throughout the entire Jiusheng Mountain at the time.

Many people are curious about why this princess from an ordinary imperial family would be so favored by the fourth Mountain Master. It wasn't until later that news spread, saying that this princess possesses a rare physique throughout the entire Eastern Desolation.

“This special physique is even rarer than some first-rank bloodline awakeners,” sighed Lord Jiucheng Dao, “Look at her, she’s about your age, or maybe even slightly younger, but her cultivation level has already reached the peak of Step One Nirvana. I even feel that she's about to break through to Step Two Nirvana.”

"A special constitution" Su Xin understood.

In the land of the East Waste, while those who awaken their bloodlines are rare, those born with inherently special physiques are even rarer.

Some people are born with extraordinary physiques that far surpass those awakened to a single-rank bloodline, even rivalling those awakened to divine-grade bloodlines.

Of course, a physique comparable to that of a Supreme Bloodline Awakener hasn't appeared in the East Desolation yet. remember the url

As the only direct disciple of the Fourth Mountain Master, you can imagine her status in Jiusheng Mountain. If you provoke her, don't even say that you haven't yet joined the Sixth Mountain Master's sect; even if you truly became the Sixth Mountain Master's disciple, this Xia Fairy would probably still find a way to deal with you.

"Don't even try to deny it, just those senior brothers and sisters of hers, all with cultivation levels reaching the peak of the fifth step, would be enough to overwhelm you," said the Nine Stars Dao Lord. "Of course, if you really want to say it, you're actually quite a match for her. She has a rare special physique, but you are also a true dragon-level genius, not much worse than her."

Su Xin smiled in surprise.

Upon hearing what the Master of Jiuxing said, this Fairy Xia is truly not someone ordinary people can provoke.

As for what it means for two people to be a match, the Nine Star Dao Master was clearly teasing. Su Xin naturally wouldn't mind.

……

Su Xin returned to the library and continued to study those sword techniques.

He is completely at ease in solitude, without arrogance or agitation.

As he mastered more and more sword techniques, his foundation in swordsmanship became increasingly solid. The speed at which he mastered those techniques was also clearly increasing.

Time flies.

Ten thousand eight hundred and sixty swordsmanship manuals, Su Xin spent a whole year and seven months to read them all and master them thoroughly.

In the open space of the first-floor library, Su Xin fought tirelessly against the puppets from within the Forbidden Zone, displaying every sword technique he possessed.

When the last sword technique was performed and passed the testing standard, Su Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

And soon, the bald middle-aged man arrived inside the library.

Jiu Yan, Lord Su Xin bows respectfully.

He spent a year and seven months researching in the library. During this time, the bald middle-aged man would also occasionally come to check on Su Xin's progress. After several interactions, Su Xin also learned that the bald middle-aged man's name was Jiu Yan, and he was a powerful figure who had followed Sixth Mountain Master for many years.

"In less than two years, the first test was completed. Not bad," Jiuyuan smiled.

On the surface, it was merely a slight praise, but deep down, an immense wave had already been stirred.

"This is ten times the amount an ordinary expert would have, a full 108,600 swordsmanship manuals. He didn't even take two years to master them all to perfection"

"This comprehension, and this talent for swordsmanship, are simply inconceivable!"

Jiu Yan knew it in his heart.

Even an ordinary expert, even if they studied 10,860 swordsmanship manuals, many of them would take over two years, and some might even take three years to fully master. But Su Xin only took less than two years to master ten times that amount, which is truly exaggerated.

He had previously thought that the Sixth Mountain Master was too harsh on Su Xin, but now it seemed that the Sixth Mountain Master had clearly seen Su Xin's talent and intentionally increased the difficulty.

Otherwise, with just ten thousand eight hundred and sixty swordsmanship manuals, Su Xin would have completed the task too easily.

Come with me.

Soon, Jiuyuan brought Su Xin to the second floor of this library.

This second level space is similar to the first, with tall bookshelves on one side and a forbidden area where puppets exist on the other.

“This second trial, just like the first one, the rules are the same,” Jiu Yan smiled, “On this bookshelf, there are also swordsmanship manuals. Within three years, you just need to master all these swordsmanship manuals to perfection.”

“Exactly the same” Su Xin frowned.

"It's like the rules, but swordsmanship manuals are different," Jiuyuan laughed, "You can just pick one up and take a look first."

Su Xin immediately picked up a swordsmanship manual beside him and carefully looked it over.

At once, Su Xin saw the extraordinary nature of this sword technique upon seeing it.

"Such formidable swordsmanship, this technique, in terms of level alone, is probably not inferior to my Flying Blood Sword Art, and it might even be higher. Su Xin was secretly astonished."

"This second-floor library has a total of 3,300 swordsmanship manuals," Jiu Yan said.

"Three hundred and thirty gates" Su Xin's face immediately darkened.

Three hundred and thirty swordsmanship manuals, compared to the first level's one hundred and eight thousand six hundred volumes, are clearly not on the same level.

However, the first layer of swordsmanship manuals were all superficial and simple. With his natural talent for swordsmanship, he could master them to perfection just by skimming through them a couple of times. But these second-layer swordsmanship manuals were each incredibly profound and intricate.

Such profound swordsmanship, just to master one style to perfection, would take a considerable amount of time, wouldn't it

Three hundred and thirty doors

It's still only been three years.

Ke Suxin felt that the difficulty had increased tenfold all of a sudden.

"How is that even possible" Su Xin couldn't help but say.

"It's all about effort. How else would you know unless you try" Jiu Yan still just chuckled, "Of course, if you think you can't finish it, you can give up."

After saying that, Jiu Yan left directly.

Su Xin's heart was filled with bitterness, but she still picked up a sword technique manual and began to study it.

It took a full three days of intensive study before I could finally master this sword technique to perfection.

"Just one sword technique took me three whole days. How long would it take to master all three hundred and thirty sword techniques"

"Ten years Twenty years"

"No, this level of testing shouldn't be this outlandish."

Su Xin furrowed his brow, continuing to study and ponder.

Another month passed quickly, and Su Xin had mastered about ten copies of the second layer's secret manual. During his research, he also made some discoveries.

After I had mastered the "Chi Lei" sword technique, and then began to comprehend the "Mie Jiu Jun" sword technique, I could clearly feel that there were many similarities between the two. They were much easier to understand. Su Xin pondered.

Both the sword techniques of "Chi Lei" and "Mie Jiu Jun" are based on power, aiming to overpower and intimidate opponents with their strength.

Both sword techniques focus on overwhelming the opponent, giving them no chance to breathe.

Although sword techniques and styles may differ, fundamentally they are not very different.

Although the various sword techniques in this world are diverse and possess unique characteristics, like the Northern Azure Sword Technique I cultivated before, which focuses on killing power with its Thunderfire Scroll, defense with its Mountains and Seas Scroll, and speed with its Phantom Shadow Scroll, each technique is distinct. However, at their core, all sword techniques share a common essence.

"Not to mention they are inherently similar in nature, being practically identical sword techniques. Su Xin's eyes lit up."

He immediately began categorizing the many sword techniques from the second layer.

Those that focus on killing power are one category.

The main speed is a category.

The tricky and cunning ones belong to one category.

There are more than ten categories in total, including main defense, main entanglement, main assassination, and so on.

After that, Su Xin began to comprehend things one by one.

At the beginning, the comprehension was still relatively slow. However, as Su Xin mastered more and more sword techniques of the same type, the similarities became increasingly apparent, allowing him to comprehend them faster and faster. He progressed from mastering one technique every three days to two techniques a day, then one technique a day, and finally, he could master several techniques in a single day.

The speed has been significantly improved.

Of course, it's fortunate that the examination rules only require these sword techniques to be mastered to perfection, and there is no need for special proficiency or a certain level of achievement. Otherwise, it would be impossible to complete the examination within the given timeframe no matter what.

Sometimes, the bald middle-aged man Jiuyan, who frequented the library and kept a close eye on Su Xin's progress, would personally observe Su Xin mastering the swordsmanship secrets within the second layer at a terrifying pace. The shock in his heart was beyond words.

After he entered the second floor of the library, he immediately found the key to enlightenment. Although one law encompasses all laws, those swordsmanship manuals were incredibly profound. It would be extremely difficult for ordinary people to master all of them. But this Su Xin...

"As long as that door was opened and he delved into those sword techniques, they became as easy as eating and drinking. Such talent was simply monstrous."

Jiuyan sighed with wistful admiration, while Su Xin, after entering the second-floor library, took only one year and three months to master all 330 sword techniques in its collection.

In terms of speed, it's actually faster than the first layer!

……

After passing the second test, Jiuyuan took Su Xin and entered the third floor of the library. This floor was a place that no strong individual who had come to seek apprenticeship before had ever truly stepped foot on.

The third trial, thankfully, wasn't about deciphering sword techniques anymore. Instead, Su Xin was faced with a mountain of books and scrolls piled high before him.

"Su Xin, here are ten scrolls of swordsmanship theory. They contain various theories and knowledge about swordsmanship. What you need to do is to read through all ten scrolls within a year, comprehend them thoroughly, and gain insight. You can read one scroll at a time, understanding it gradually. When you feel you've grasped the contents of a scroll, come find me, and I will arrange for you to take a test," said Jiuyuan.

Su Xin was stunned.

The third test, is a theory of swordsmanship

Want him to read

Su Xin really didn't expect this, but he still honestly began to study it. And soon he also discovered that this was indeed some knowledge theory of swordsmanship, such as how to wield a sword, how to use force, and how to make one's swordsmanship more powerful.

How can swordsmanship overcome air resistance to make movements faster

There is no swordsmanship or techniques, it's purely theoretical, including some ideas that extend into the realm of swordsmanship.

It's very rich and complex.

Many things, Su Xin had never even thought of before, but here they are all visible.

"Swordsmanship, to be used like this"

Su Xin quickly immersed himself in these swordsmanship theoretical knowledge.

……

A saying goes, "Reading ten thousand books makes one's writing flow like a god."onfront his family right after he died, the sixth mountain master probably won't stand idly by."Besides, it's said that the Su family ancestor back then had a certain relationship with a big shot on J...
