LEGENDARY SWORDSMAN LING
32. Changes to Tournament Rules

The sun has set its dominating heat, the South Wind seems to divide the coolness with the charm of the peach blossom adding to the feeling of love and hope.

Such was the melancholic feeling of Ling Qiubai and her Father. After recalling all of what he had experienced under the roof of the Ling Clan. Then he looked around him.

Millions of Swords had scattered around him. And the commotion in each spectator stands kept him quiet, paying attention to his surroundings.

....

" He really did make the eleventh move," In the stands, Panetua Shui Hanxin looked stunned.as there was not a single person of Ling Qiubai's age capable of making that eleventh move, either, even in the sect.

That meant his talent in the sword principle was unrivalled even by those in the sect.

" This boy! " Ling Clan Master, Ling Xinhong got up and looked at Ling Qiubai," I am the Ling Clan Master, but I don't know his talent in sword principles has been very profound, either, until other people just dream of achieving it,"

Liu Qingyue and the others beside were extremely shocked.

"Huh...!"

The head of the tournament committee, Ling Jian Lan, snorted and turned to face the experts, "Maybe you all don't know this. Although Ling Qiubai's talent in sword principles was extremely heaven-defying, he was a trash who could not even form soritual power (qi). Without the corresponding strength (qi), what was the point of swordsmanship challenging the heavens? "

" oh? you mean that brat can't form qi power ? " Task Liu Qingyue and a few people with very strange expressions.

" Fair Senior. In the Ling Clan, everyone knew that Ling Qiubai was a trash who had been unable to cultivate absorbing Qi since he was 12 years old, "

" Even though he had succeeded now, Ling Qiubai lost his four-year golden age to make the foundation of Being a Swordsman. So, learning about this, what achievements do seniors think he can achieve in the future? " Ling Jia Lan's lips.

" Is that true? "

" He just cultivated two months ago? "

" What a pity! "

Liu Qingyue and a few experts shook their heads and let out a long sigh.

In the world of martial arts, the best year to plant the foundation of cultivation at the age of 12, that was the most crucial elementary age. Once one missed this golden age, his future achievements would be limited.

Of course, this only applied to martial practitioners in general, not like Ling Qiubai who used heaven-defying cultivation methods.

" The power of qi is the foundation of the martial arts path, whereas the martial technique in swordsmanship is an external factor. Even if he had a heaven-defying swordsmanship, he could not defeat someone with a low cultivation level. This boy is suffering too much! " Shui Hanxin glanced at Ling Qiubai by shaking her head.

" Even with a low cultivation level, he still has the right to be my disciple like Ling Meng'er, with his talent in sword principles. However, he did not have the qualifications to become an expert."

The several Experts beside him nodded. Although Shui Hanxin's explanation was half-hearted and careless, yet he had a point.

Ling Qiubai's incomparable shock in the sword principle had given all of the spectators a new understanding. What can be proved from a person who has no basis for cultivation in their golden age?

In this world, all would be subject to an expert, Spiritual Strength Formation (qi) was the foundation.

" The eleventh sword move, "Ling Meng'er stared intently at the figure of ling Qiubai who had descended on the arena. He had long known about Ling Qiubai's talent in sword principles.

After he used the Sword Technique, the Nintent Wave sword movement was ninth. He thought he had surpassed Ling Qiubai, Even that was as thin as the tip of a hair.

But the gap between them was still too far away, the Eleventh Sword Movement. He had only excelled at basic cultivation in the formation of qi power in the golden age.

In the stands, Ling Jian Lan commented, "In the cultivation of the foundation formation of strength (qi) is the determinant. Our disciples should not neglect the cultivation development of strength (qi) in attaining a true Expert."

Ling Jian Lan's words reverberated throughout the stands. Clearly it was meant for Ling Qiubai.

" we'll start the next round! "

"You all should know, We of the organizing party have just, have changed the rules of the Second round; before that was the rules of the duel between the 12 disciples who passed the Sky Tower examination,"

"Secondly, First; the 38 disciples who had addressed Martial Arts Skills would have the same right to enter the second round of the tournament. Second; this round tested the cultivation level in strength (qi). He expected his cooperation, "

All the Participants in the stands were stunned, and a few spectators with strange expressions. Only the Elders, and the experts in the stands with ordinary expressions.

All of the disciples who attended the tournament related the changing rules of the tournament to Ling Qiubai's situation.

" Please place a Cultivation Testing Gemstone here! "

some people raised a fairly large transparent gemstone, placing it in the middle of the arena. The middle of the gem was divided into ten layers.

The Spiritual Gemstone was used to test cultivation Level and Strength (qi), with ten layers representing ten levels from the First Step Finger spirit path, to the peak level spiritual sea realm.

" First, Ling An! "

" Show the best! Ling Jian Lan said to Ling An.

" Yes the elder," Ling An Nodded.

He took a deep breath and took out his palm, aiming his strength. Immediately, waves of qi power flowed into the Gemstone.

Suddenly a bright light surged from the Gemstone.

A dazzling light surged from the first layer towards the peak of the sixth layer. The light continued to rise up to the seventh layer.

" The first seventh layer of the Stone is lit? "

" Step to Seven of the Path of Spirit! "

" Ling An finally broke through the seventh step of the Spirit Path after so long! "

all the disciples praised Ling An and many of them looked at Ling An enviously.

After he pulled his palm from the first novel, Ling An noticed everyone's attention to him, his mood changing better. He had been humiliated ever since he was defeated by Ling Qiubai a month ago, but he had finally gained his pride back.

" So what if Ling Qiubai had a talent of principle in swordsmanship? He was still at the realm of the sixth step right now. " Ling An sneered at Ling Qiubai and looked at him provocatively.

But Ling Qiubai was as usual with an indifferent expression, when he saw it Ling An's anger flared up.

" That bastard dared to ignore me! " Ling An was full of anger in his heart when he saw Ling Qiubai closing his eyes while leaning against the wall the entire time.

What she did not know was that Ling Qiubai had never cared about her since the beginning of the meeting of the two of them.
