Seeing that the Red-Clothed Sword Spirit only asked them to learn the Immortal's Guidance technique, many people felt quite frustrated.
Such a simple technique, not to mention them, even the students from ordinary academies could do it.
However, they vaguely guessed in their hearts that the Sword Spirit's test couldn't be that simple.
Xiu Jie Ming looked at this sword move and smiled at the Red-Clothed Sword Spirit, saying: "Can I start now?"
"You have a quarter of an hour. If you can't learn it within a quarter of an hour, you fail the challenge and have to leave on your own," the Red-Clothed Sword Spirit said.
"No need for a quarter of an hour, I can do it now." Xiu Jie Ming exuded strong confidence.
"Then go ahead." The Red-Clothed Sword Spirit looked at Xiu Jie Ming with interest.
Xiu Jie Ming pulled out his sword and used the Immortal's Guidance. This seemingly ordinary sword technique, when performed by him, seemed to strike like a thunderclap, the power of the sword cutting through the air produced a roaring sound like rolling thunder, extremely terrifying in momentum.
This sword was used with extreme dominance by Xiu Jie Ming, yet it seemed somewhat different from the Sword Spirit's sword technique. The Immortal's Guidance used by the Red-Clothed Sword Spirit was light and graceful, completely two different styles, even the techniques had subtle differences.
"You have comprehended the mysteries of Swordsmanship... you may be taught the Celestial Escape Sword Technique..." The Red-Clothed Sword Spirit waved her hand and a sword light flew towards Xiu Jie Ming's brow, disappearing in an instant.
Everyone looked at Xiu Jie Ming, wanting to know what the Sword Technique he got was for. If it was an Unparalleled Secret Skill, they could switch to practice it now.
"The Sword Technique is also an Unparalleled Secret Skill, a secret skill used in conjunction with Sword Skills, it can enhance the power of the Celestial Escape Sword Technique, this is a natural Combined Skill." Xiu Jie Ming directly revealed the function of the Celestial Escape Sword Technique without hiding it.
"Commander, was this challenge really as simple as learning one sword move?" Some had already figured out the key, but some had not, someone couldn't help but ask.
Xiu Jie Ming explained without holding back: "The sword technique is secondary, this challenge really tests the understanding of Sword Dao. Just learning the sword technique is useless, you must have your own understanding of it, using your comprehension to wield the sword, human intent and sword intent are interconnected, only when you have your own realm, your sword will have sword intent."
Hearing that this challenge required the ability to self-comprehend sword intent to pass, everyone's expressions changed.
Comprehending sword intent is such a difficult thing, even for a sword genius, being able to comprehend several sword intents in a lifetime is already remarkable.
Now the Sword Spirit casually used a move, expecting them to comprehend a sword intent from it, this makes the difficulty of this challenge ridiculously high.
Thinking about how Xiu Jie Ming could directly comprehend sword intent, such talent and genius are truly too strong.
"Elder brother's talent is truly too strong, how many people in this world can comprehend sword intent at a glance, I'm afraid it's hard to find a second one." Xiu Yingmei praised.
"The commander's talent and comprehension are indeed top-notch, he will definitely achieve great things in the future." Wen Yutao also praised.
Although they knew the method to pass the challenge, none had the confidence to pass, finally a Third Awakening cultivator was the first to attempt the challenge.
In the path of Sword Dao, he could be considered quite talented, but when the Red-Clothed Sword Spirit performed the move of Finishing Touch, expecting him to learn it within a quarter of an hour, how could he comprehend sword intent in such a short time, and as expected, he failed.
Even if you gave him a quarter of an hour, even if you gave him ten quarters or a hundred quarters, he couldn't comprehend it either.
For a genius, to comprehend sword intent also requires a sudden flash of inspiration, it's not something that can be comprehended at any given time, nor can all sword moves yield sword intent.
They couldn't keep wasting time here, so many chose to try consecutively, the result was invariably failure.
Their failure made Xiu Jie Ming's value increase, comprehending sword intent at a glance, such talent could be called defying the heavens.
Apart from Xiu Jie Ming, there was no one able to succeed, until a Second Awakening soldier of the Celestial Court Army took the stage, he surprisingly comprehended the sword intent of the technique used by the Red-Clothed Sword Spirit within a quarter of an hour, also successfully obtaining the Celestial Escape Sword Technique.
This was also a result of a sudden flash of inspiration, it could be said his fortune had come, and it was meant for him to get this Unparalleled Secret Skill.
Now among those qualified to attempt the second level, only Chen Guan and Kou Zi Ge remained.
Kou Zi Ge obviously had already lost hope, he inherently had no Sword Dao talent, even given ten years, he wouldn't be able to comprehend sword intent, a quarter of an hour was simply a death sentence for him.
"Kou Zi Ge, are you going to go first or should I?" Chen Guan asked as he looked at Kou Zi Ge.
"You go first, anyway, I can't possibly succeed." Kou Zi Ge said helplessly.
"You're seeing comprehending sword intent as too difficult, it's not as hard as you imagine." Chen Guan, seeing how tense Kou Zi Ge was, casually comforted him.
"For a genius like the commander, of course it's not difficult, but I have no talent in Sword Dao, even after practicing for so many years, I haven't comprehended sword intent, to let me comprehend it within a quarter of an hour, how is that possible." Kou Zi Ge smiled bitterly.
"But have you ever thought about why someone as untalented as you could pass the first level?" Chen Guan countered.
Kou Zi Ge paused slightly: "Maybe I was just lucky?"
"Do you think such an important legacy would have a loophole for you to exploit? Your passing the first level proves you have talent on the Sword Dao path, it's just that you lack self-confidence, even you haven't realized your own talent, in fact, as long as you are a bit more self-confident, I think passing the second level should be no problem." Chen Guan patted Kou Zi Ge's shoulder: "Think about it, I'm going first."
Everyone regarded Chen Guan's words as just a way to comfort Kou Zi Ge, no one took them to heart.
But Kou Zi Ge seemed to have really listened a bit, thinking to himself: "Yeah, if I really had no Sword Dao talent, how could I pass the first level? Earlier some with excellent swordsmanship didn't pass, yet I did. Could it be that I really have Sword Dao talent..."
Chen Guan had already stepped in front of the sword, beginning the second challenge.
The Red-Clothed Sword Spirit appeared again, looked at Chen Guan, but did not immediately start using sword techniques, seemingly staring at Chen Guan.
After a while, when everyone felt something was off, the Red-Clothed Sword Spirit suddenly said, "You've passed the challenge... I'll impart to you the Pure Yang Sword Technique..."
As she spoke, the Red-Clothed Sword Spirit transformed into a Sword Rainbow, piercing into Chen Guan's body.
Everyone was puzzled: "How did he pass the challenge, he didn't do anything, right?"
"That's strange, the Red-Clothed Sword Spirit didn't even set a test, how did he pass?"
"Damn, isn't this kid the illegitimate child of Chunyang Temple's boss behind the scenes? How is this even possible?"
"This must be such incredible talent, not needing to take the test, and just passing, isn't this like being directly admitted?"
"Xiu Jie Ming, with such talent, passing by comprehending sword intent at a glance was already freakish, this kid didn't even need to take the test, could it be he is a natural-born Sword Child, not requiring assessment, and the Sword Spirit already discerned his extraordinariness with a glance, his Sword Dao talent undeniable?"
"I remember he seemed to have a nickname called Little Sword Emperor, isn't he really the reincarnation of the Sword Dao Emperor Star?"
This time even Xiu Jie Ming couldn't hide his astonishment, he couldn't see how Chen Guan passed the test at all.
"Could it be his talent is truly that remarkable?" A flicker of indescribable complexity crossed Xiu Jie Ming's eyes.
