God of Defiance

In the attic.

After Chu Tian woke up again, he immediately received a message from Qu Xiaoer.

Chu Tian learned from Qu Xiaoer that he had successfully obtained a precious place to enter the Tianji Secret Realm.

However, it is very regrettable that Bai Chi and Che Xingbo, who were in the same class with him, did not get a quota.

Chu Tian was not very surprised by this result.

Bai Chi and Che Xingbo's cultivation levels have barely reached the level of spiritual Yun realm, and their strength is not very outstanding. Naturally, it is difficult to obtain a quota.

You must know that most of the inner court disciples who are lucky enough to get the quota this time are at the peak of the Spiritual Yun Realm, or even half-step of the Spiritual Pulse Realm!

Finally, Qu Xiaoer specially reminded Chu Tian to gather directly at the martial arts field in the inner courtyard early the next morning.

Not long after, Chu Tian put away the sound transmission jade talisman.

He stood up and walked into the training room and sat down cross-legged.

Clang!

After a breath, Chu Tian took out the Immortal Killing Sword, gently stroked the dark and cold rough blade, and quickly fell into deep thought.

In the assessment hall, after he killed the black-armored warrior with his last knife, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and a special realization emerged.

Chu Tian originally wanted to sit down cross-legged and meditate, but was interrupted by the explosion that Xie Linghai accidentally caused.

Looking back now, Chu Tian can be 100% sure that the aura that appeared in his mind at that time was definitely the artistic conception of the sword!

"The artistic conception of the sword..."

Chu Tian whispered.

"Master, what is artistic conception?"

After a moment of silence, Chu Tian suddenly spoke.

"What is artistic conception... this? I can't explain it in one or two sentences!"

Balao answered vaguely.

Immediately, he coughed lightly, sorted out his thoughts, and continued: "In the world of cultivation, it is generally believed that artistic conception is a sublimation of understanding and application that results from a warrior being immersed in a certain martial art for a long time, such as the sword. The artistic conception, the artistic conception of the sword, the artistic conception of the gun, etc.”

"For example, the most common artistic conception of the sword is to swing a sword casually. The power produced by a warrior who has mastered the artistic conception of the sword is definitely different from that of a warrior who has not mastered it. There is a huge difference!"

Chu Tian nodded secretly.

Strictly speaking, artistic conception, a deep understanding of martial arts, can generally only be mastered by those who are strong in the spiritual pulse realm.

But the Zhenwu Continent is vast and boundless, and there are always a very small number of amazing geniuses who can touch the artistic conception or even master it at the stage of the spiritual realm!

"Master, in your hometown, how many warriors have mastered the spiritual realm at the spiritual realm stage?"

Chu Tian asked curiously.

Ba Lao nodded, and then shook his head: "In my hometown, there are many geniuses who have touched the artistic conception at the stage of spiritual Yun realm, but there are very few who can truly master the artistic conception!"

"Moreover, most of these very few geniuses who have mastered the spirit realm have only reached the level of initial achievement. There are only a few people who can reach the level of small achievement or even the level of great achievement!"

After Chu Tian heard this, he was suddenly startled and asked quickly: "Is it possible that the mastery of artistic conception is also divided into detailed categories such as initial accomplishment, minor accomplishment, and dazzling accomplishment?"

"Haha, that's natural!"

Ba Lao smiled and nodded.

"To put it simply, the artistic conception of martial arts can be subdivided from low to high into initial success, small success, great success and perfection!"

Balao explained.

After hearing this, Chu Tian nodded secretly. This division was somewhat similar to the division of cultivation realm.

"Beyond the artistic conception, are there other realms of martial arts?"

Chu Tian suddenly asked.

Ba Lao smiled mysteriously: "Haha, there is naturally a higher realm above the martial arts artistic conception, but that is not something you can access now. You should honestly master the martial arts artistic conception first!"

Chu Tian smiled dumbly.

Right!

He has not mastered any martial arts artistic conception yet, and he is indeed not qualified to aim high and explore higher levels above the artistic conception.

According to Chu Tian's understanding, there are currently only four people in the inner courtyard who have initially come into contact with the artistic conception of martial arts, namely Zhan Zijie, Luo Fenghao, Qin Zhu and Dang Fengyun.

Among the four, the one closest to the initial grasp of the artistic conception is Zhan Zijie!

When Chu Tian fought with Zhan Zijie, he found that Zhan Zijie had almost mastered the complete prototype of the sword intention, and was ahead of the rest of the four!

Of course, there may be a few other hidden masters in the inner courtyard, but they are not something Chu Tian can understand.

Not long after, a look of solemnity appeared on Chu Tian's face.

When Zhan Zijie returned to the academy with an invincible appearance, he was defeated miserably at his hands. He must have been greatly stimulated and would definitely redouble his efforts.

Coupled with the huge help provided by Xie Linghai, Chu Tian even suspected that Zhan Zijie might have initially mastered the artistic conception of the sword!

Although Chu Tian's cultivation has reached the peak of the Spiritual Yun Realm, and he has opened up an astonishing one hundred soul points, if his opponent really has a preliminary grasp of the sword's artistic conception, he will not dare to take it lightly!

"The artistic conception of the sword..."

Chu Tian continued to gently brush the broken knife and whispered.

Suddenly, Chu Tian thought of something and hurriedly raised his hand to touch his waist, only to find an empty bag dangling around.

belch!

At this moment, a loud hiccupping sound came from his right wrist!

"Damn you little bastard!"

Chu Tian's face changed drastically and he cursed angrily.

…

Late at night, everything is silent.

A hill deep in the inner courtyard.

An old figure stood on the edge of the cliff with his hands behind his back, his eyes showing cold light, looking in a certain direction.

"I've met Master!"

Not long after, a young man in brocade robes hurried over, stood behind the old man, and bowed.

It's Zhan Zijie!

When the old figure heard the sound, he immediately turned his head. It was Xie Linghai.

At this moment, Xie Linghai's hair was disheveled and he looked as if he had aged dozens of years, but his wrinkled face was shrouded in a layer of terrifying murderous intent!

"Master, you..."

Seeing Xie Linghai's old appearance, Zhan Zijie was immediately startled.

"Zijie, how are you mastering your sword intention?"

Xie Linghai asked.

After Zhan Zijie heard this, without saying a word, he drew out the long black sword from behind and slashed at Xie Linghai!

laugh!

In an instant, a thick ink sword light more than ten feet long flashed out, and a surging coldness surged out at the same time, rushing towards Xie Linghai fiercely!

"good!"

Xie Linghai praised him and casually smashed the thick black sword light that struck him.

Immediately, he stared at the panting Zhan Zijie and said in a deep voice: "You are only one step away from mastering the sword intention. After entering the secret realm this time, strive to achieve a breakthrough!"

"Yes, disciple will definitely do it!"

Zhan Zijie quickly bowed.

"However, if you want to kill that little beast Chu Tian, ​​only sword intent is not enough. This is a treasure talisman I just made. It contains one of my heaven-level martial arts. It has 50% power and is enough to kill Kill that little beast Chu Tian and put it away!"

Xie Linghai spoke with murderous intent, took out a lustrous white jade talisman, and handed it to Zhan Zijie.

"hiss……"

Hearing this, Zhan Zijie immediately took a deep breath and carefully took the jade talisman.
