Chapter 58: Sword Fighting at Mount Shu

After Liu Yanping left, she probably wouldn't bother Meng Fan again in the short term.

For the past twenty days, Meng Fan spent almost all daytime instructing Liu Yanping on the sword intent of the rising sea tide, and his own cultivation was affected.

Although his cultivation level has been raised to the third level of the True Martial Realm during this period, there has been little progress in other aspects.

In particular, the goal of reading the sword scriptures on the first floor of the Sutra Library has been completely delayed.

In the following days, Meng Fan plans to read the scriptures without distraction, and strive to read all the sword scriptures on the first floor of the Sutra Library as soon as possible.

As for the two hundred spirit stones earned from Liu Yanping, Meng Fan was not in a hurry to spend them.

Two hundred spirit stones can be used to comprehend the Sword God Monument for two hours, but Meng Fan is no longer so eager to go to the Sword God Monument to comprehend.

Because some time ago, Elder Lin had rewarded Meng Fan with a day and night to comprehend the Sword God Monument.

But Meng Fan did not choose to go immediately. He decided to finish reading the sword scriptures on the first floor of the Sutra Library before going to comprehend the Sword God Monument.

This way, the benefits can be maximized!

In this way, Meng Fan still stayed in the Sutra Library every day.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the sixth month since Meng Fan worshipped Lin Lao as his master.

Half a year really passed in a flash.

Now Meng Fan has reached the fifth level of Zhenwu.

Brother Luo watched Meng Fan's progress day by day, and he had completely given up on the "one-year agreement".

Half a year ago, Meng Fan was at the third level of Qi training, and he was at the eighth level of Zhenwu.

Today, half a year later, Meng Fan is already at the fifth level of Zhenwu, and he is still at the eighth level of Zhenwu.

When the one-year period is over, Brother Luo feels that he will be at most the ninth level of Zhenwu, and it is estimated that he will not be able to reach the Tianyuan realm.

By then, Meng Fan's realm may have caught up with his, and it is even possible that he will surpass him and reach the Tianyuan realm.

In addition, his brother Meng's ability to easily fight across levels, what can he use to fight?

"Junior Brother Meng, you've been in the Sutra Library every day for several months. When will you stop?" Senior Brother Luo asked Meng Fan helplessly.

Meng Fan was in the Sutra Library every day during the day and only returned to the Sword Pavilion at night, making him seem like a disciple of the Sutra Library instead of the Sword Pavilion.

"Senior Brother Luo, in about a week, I will be able to finish reading all the Sword Scriptures on the first floor of the Sutra Library. By then, I will go to the Sutra Library less frequently." Meng Fan said with a smile.

When Senior Brother Luo heard this, he was simply amazed by Meng Fan.

Such a big Sutra Library, so many Sword Scriptures, Meng Fan actually wanted to read them all.

The key point is that he not only thought so, but also was about to do it. It was simply not a human thing!

"I can have a junior brother like you, which is probably enough for me to brag about for the rest of my life." Senior Brother Luo said with a look of amazement.

"Senior Brother Luo, please don't make me feel bad!" Meng Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head.

One day, Meng Fan came to the Sutra Library and found that there were very few people in the Sutra Library today.

"Brother Jin, why is there no one in the Sutra Library today?" Meng Fan asked Brother Jin curiously.

On weekdays, the Sutra Library is crowded.

This Brother Jin was a taciturn person at first, but this was only for people he was not familiar with.

After Meng Fan got to know him here, he found that this guy actually talked a lot.

It's just that he seems to be a little socially anxious and hates dealing with people he is not familiar with.

"Today is the day of the Shushan Sword Contest, and everyone went to watch the excitement." Brother Jin said to Meng Fan.

Shushan Sword Contest?

Meng Fan raised his eyebrows. He had heard of it before, but had never experienced it.

Because the Shushan Sword Contest is held every three years, he had just joined the Shushan Sword Sect three years ago and was just a small errand disciple. He had too much work to do, so how could he be qualified to watch these?

Shushan Sword Contest is not a sword contest within the Shushan Sword Sect.

It is a competition between the three sects of Kunlun Sword Sect, Wuji Sword Sect and Shushan Sword Sect.

Whichever sect wins, the next sword contest will be held in that sect.

For example, if Kunlun Sword Sect wins the Shushan Sword Contest this time, then three years later it will not be the Shushan Sword Contest, but the Kunlun Sword Contest!

"The Shushan Sword Sect won the last three-sect sword contest. I wonder what the result will be this time." Meng Fan muttered casually.

"This time, our Shushan Sword Sect is unlikely to win!" Senior Brother Jin said.

"Why?" Meng Fan looked at Senior Brother Jin in surprise, not understanding why he was trying to boost others' ambitions and destroy his own prestige.

"Because in the last three-sect sword contest, our Shushan Sword Sect had Kuang Tianyou. But this time, Shushan lost Kuang Tianyou, and Kunlun Sword Sect had Jiang Poyue rising up. It's hard for the young generation to have a rival!" Senior Brother Jin said with a somewhat helpless tone.

Judging from Senior Brother Jin's tone, he was more optimistic about Kunlun Sword Sect winning the championship this time.

But... Kuang Tianyou?

Meng Fan had just joined the Shushan Sword Sect three years ago and had heard of Kuang Tianyou's name.

Because at that time, Kuang Tianyou was the brightest sun in Shushan Sword Sect.

However, not long after, Kuang Tianyou disappeared, as if he had fallen.

"Brother Kuang? I heard that Brother Kuang had an accident and died when he was out for training. This is really a pity!"

"Hehe, he is not dead, and he lives a comfortable life."

Hearing Brother Jin's words, especially the special emotions in his tone, Meng Fan couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Brother Jin, Brother Kuang is not dead? Then why didn't he return to Shushan Sword Sect?"

When asking this question, Meng Fan actually felt a strong gossip atmosphere.

"Because he is so happy that he doesn't want to leave his hometown!" Senior Brother Jin said with a mocking look on his face.

You know what, the phrase "so happy that he doesn't want to leave his hometown" is really quite appropriate.

The Shu of Shushan Sword Sect!

At the same time, from Senior Brother Jin's tone, Meng Fan heard a more gossipy atmosphere.

"Senior Brother Jin, can you help me solve my doubts?" Meng Fan asked with some curiosity.

"Kuang Tianyou fell in love with a female disciple of Fengyun Demon Sect, and was so fascinated by that female disciple that he actually followed that woman back to Fengyun Demon Sect!"

"The pride of my Shushan Sword Sect actually "married into" the Demon Sect. What a shame and humiliation is this?"

Speaking of this, Senior Brother Jin's face was full of contempt and ridicule, and the corners of his mouth were trembling with anger.

Meng Fan looked at Senior Brother Jin's reaction, and he had some guesses in his heart. He sighed and said, "Senior Brother Jin used to have a good relationship with this Kuang Tianyou?"

If they didn't have a particularly good relationship, he wouldn't be so "angry at his lack of fighting" and indignant after so many years!

"Is he worthy?" Senior Brother Jin sneered.

Meng Fan stopped talking. It would be a bit ungrateful to continue to be curious.

"Senior Brother Jin, how about we go and see the Shushan Sword Contest?" He said to change the subject.

"I don't like crowds, go by yourself." Senior Brother Jin said casually.

This guy is still as socially anxious as ever.

Meng Fan decisively gave up the idea of ​​inviting Senior Brother Jin to watch the Shushan Sword Contest, and then left the Sutra Library alone.

This time, the Shushan Sword Contest, as usual, was attended by the core disciples of the three sects.

It is limited to core disciples. Outer disciples and inner disciples are not eligible to participate, and deacons and elders are also not eligible.

"Sister Xueluo seems to have been promoted to a core disciple a few days ago. I wonder if she has participated in this Shushan Sword Contest." Meng Fan muttered to himself, and then walked to the top of Shushan.

Li Xueluo had vowed to break through the Tianyuan realm within two months, and finally did it, and was promoted to a core disciple.

I wonder if as a new core disciple, she needs to participate in this sword contest.

In fact, even if Li Xueluo did not participate in the sword contest, Meng Fan would definitely not miss this Shushan Sword Contest.

This time, not only can we see the swordsmanship of the core disciples of the Shushan Sword Sect, but we can also see the swordsmanship of the core disciples of the Kunlun Sword Sect and the Wuji Sword Sect.

Such an opportunity is much more precious than reading books in the Sutra Library.

The location of the Shushan Sword Contest is on the Tongtian Terrace on the top of Shushan.

Soon, Meng Fan came to the top of Shushan and approached the Tongtian Terrace.

Although the name of Tongtian Terrace is just a platform, the space is actually very large. To be precise, it can be described as a square!

At this moment, the top of Shushan has been surrounded by countless disciples, and it is simply packed.

Meng Fan finally squeezed to a position near the Tongtian Terrace, ready to watch the swordsmanship of the participants in the sword debate.

The Tongtian Terrace was clearly divided into three areas at this moment.

Shushan Sword Sect, Wuji Sword Sect, and Kunlun Sword Sect.

The core disciples of the three sects gathered on the stage, which could be said to be the best of the younger generation in the world.

Meng Fan saw Li Xueruo in the area of ​​the Shushan Sword Sect.

The girl had an excited expression and was obviously full of fighting spirit.

Obviously, she was also going to participate in this sword debate.

However, with her status and strength as a newly promoted core disciple, she would basically end up as cannon fodder.

To be honest, it would be better not to participate!

But accumulating more experience seems to be a good choice.

Meng Fan learned from the people around him that the one wearing white clothes was a disciple of the Kunlun Sword Sect, and the one wearing black clothes was a disciple of the Wuji Sword Sect.

As for the clothes of their Shushan Sword Sect, they have always been blue.

At this moment, the two who were competing on the Tongtian Terrace were a core disciple of the Shushan Sword Sect and a core disciple of the Kunlun Sword Sect.

This disciple of Shushan Sword Sect used the "Wind and Thunder Sword".

Meng Fan had seen this sword technique in the Sutra Library of the Sword Pavilion before and had some understanding of it.

Seeing the core disciples use this sword technique, he gradually had a deeper understanding of this sword technique.

This is also the reason why Meng Fan liked to go to the Sword Enlightenment Hall to watch others practice swordsmanship.

As for the core disciple of Kunlun Sword Sect, Meng Fan did not recognize the sword technique he used.

But when watching this person use the sword, Meng Fan quickly captured the advantages and disadvantages of the other party's sword technique.

Advantages and disadvantages, Meng Fan can easily see them.

Like Meng Fan, who can see the flaws in other people's sword techniques by just watching them once, there is probably only one person in the world.

After a while, this disciple of Shushan Sword Sect won, and Kunlun Sword Sect lost.

Immediately afterwards, another disciple of Wuji Sword Sect came on stage to compete with the disciple of Shushan Sword Sect on the stage.

This is a kind of defending battle, which is actually not very fair.

Because the later one comes on stage, the more advantage he has.

The disciples who come on stage early will be exhausted sooner or later.

So each sect should have kept the most elite disciples for the last.

There is nothing wrong with this, the strong ones are meant to be the finale!

"Meng Fan, I just saw someone who looks like you from a distance, and when I walked over to take a look, it was really you."

A crisp voice sounded beside Meng Fan.
