Volume 1: Rebellion in Chang'an Chapter 72 Test
With Lu Qingshan's rich gaming experience, he naturally knew several ways to obtain the techniques to train spiritual consciousness.
But those methods are time-consuming and are some distance away from Zhenjiang Prefecture. For now, he has no time to take care of them.
The meal had to be eaten one bite at a time and there was no rush. He had many more important things to do right now.
Lu Qingshan turned his attention to the two new skills in the skill bar.
[Liuyan Sword Control] Level 1 (0/600)
【Flying Sword】lv1 (0/600)
Although he had initially mastered these two skills with the help of experience points, various casting techniques had already become ingrained in his mind.
But this is not enough if you want to harness your abilities.
There are still many details that Lu Qingshan needs to test and understand.
For example, at what altitude is the most comfortable for sword-flying?
For example, with his current level of cultivation, where can he fly highest when using the sword-controlling technique, how long can he sustain it, or at which angle will save the most effort to ascend, and so on.
He needs to constantly explore and familiarize himself with these things; the system cannot teach him these.
If you realize that you don't understand your abilities until the critical moment, it will be too late.
Lu Qingshan naturally would not let such a stupid thing happen to himself.
A large part of the difference between advanced players and ordinary players is reflected in these details.
…
The vast mountains and lush green colors stretch to the end of the sight, like an endless green ocean.
This is a mountain range outside Zhenjiang City.
Lu Qingshan left Zhenjiang City and flew straight towards the mountain range on his sword.
This mountain range is deserted and uninhabited. A few years ago, it was plowed by monks sent by Zhenjiang City. There are no ferocious monsters, so it is perfect for Lu Qingshan to test his sword-controlling and flying sword skills .
…
Lu Qingshan first flew his sword at an angle of 45 degrees, circling back and forth and rising continuously. This is also the most commonly used rising angle for sword practitioners.
Climbing vertically at a 90-degree angle with the head raised is fast, but it is quite difficult and consumes a lot of spiritual energy. With his current level of spiritual energy, he cannot do it.
When Lu Qingshan slowly raised his altitude to about four thousand feet, the loss of spiritual energy in his body was no longer something he could bear.
He quickly lowered his altitude.
At an altitude of four thousand feet, if one's spiritual power is exhausted and unable to support the sword-wielding technique, one will surely become a pool of meat if he falls from the altitude.
In the early days of the "Nine Heavens" game in the previous life, it was not uncommon for sword cultivators to fall to their deaths.
Some sword players who have just mastered the art of wielding a sword are rather careless. Without testing the limits of their abilities in advance, they rashly fly their swords thousands of feet in the sky without paying attention to the consumption of their spiritual power, and call themselves ghost fire sword practitioners.
It felt great, but the result was that all his spiritual energy was exhausted, he exited the sword-flying state, and freely fell from a height of thousands of feet.
Generally speaking, when a sword cultivator uses sword-controlling techniques to travel, it is most appropriate to maintain the altitude at a thousand feet.
Firstly, the field of vision is wide enough to see everything at a glance, so you won’t encounter the embarrassing situation of not being able to react to a mountain or running into it head-on.
Secondly, at this height, the amount of spiritual energy consumed is just at the most appropriate level.
Finally, at this height, it cannot be seen by mortals on the earth, which also avoids some trouble.
In addition, with Lu Qingshan's current level and cultivation of sword-wielding skills, thirty meters per second is the best speed when he is in a hurry.
This speed is equivalent to 108 kilometers per hour, which is not slow for traveling.
The most important thing is that the amount of spiritual power consumed at this speed offsets Lu Qingshan’s own spiritual power recovery, which allows Lu Qingshan to fly steadily for ten hours without taking elixirs to replenish his spiritual power.
For a cultivator who has just entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, this is considered to be extremely durable.
Thanks to the effect of the [Guixu Sutra] which increases the spiritual power recovery speed by 100%, Lu Qingshan's endurance is far superior to that of cultivators of the same level.
Lu Qingshan also tested the maximum speed of the Liuyan Sword Technique at the current stage, which is about one-fifth the speed of sound.
However, if he were to fly the sword at this speed, his spiritual power would be quickly consumed.
With his current spiritual power limit, it can support him to fly the sword at the maximum speed for half a cup of tea.
Only in the most intense battles would the Liuyan Sword Technique, which uses extreme speed, be used. It is impossible to use such a fast speed when traveling normally.
Judging from the current skill level, the fact that Liuyan Sword Controlling Technique can perform so well is enough to show that Tan Tai Qingrun did not treat him perfunctorily. Liuyan Sword Controlling Technique is indeed a pretty good sword control technique.
As for the Liuyan special effects that appear when the Liuyan sword-controlling technique reaches a certain speed, in fact, there is no additional effect other than being cool, so it’s better not to mention it.
…
After testing his sword-controlling skills, Lu Qingshan changed into a peach wood sword to support his sword-controlling skills, and used the Soul-Crying Sword to test his flying sword skills .
This is also a characteristic of sword cultivation.
Any high-level swordsman would start with at least two swords.
One is used to maintain the sword-controlling technique, and the other is used to perform flying swords.
If there is a sword practitioner who has mastered the art of distraction , the number of flying swords he controls will be difficult to count.
As soon as he thought of it, flying swords as dense as locusts would sweep out, forming various sword formations with strange and unpredictable changes.
Of course, that is something to be considered in the later stage, and Lu Qingshan doesn’t need to think about it now.
Lu Qingshan slowly descended, maintaining himself at a low altitude, and looked towards an ancient tree not far away.
The sturdy tree trunk was as thick as three people could hug, pointing straight up to the sky, with huge plant roots coiled above the ground.
Lu Qingshan's heart moved, and a stream of spiritual power separated from his Dantian Guanyuan, rushing towards the Niwan Palace between his eyebrows. With a trace of spiritual consciousness, it quickly attached itself to the Crying Soul Sword.
A hazy blue light flashed above the Soul-Crying Sword, and with a whoosh, it shot out and headed straight for the ancient tree.
boom--
Sawdust flew everywhere.
A fist-sized hole appeared on the trunk of the ancient tree.
The three of them hugged the thick tree trunk and were pierced through in an instant.
At this time, the Soul-Crying Sword obviously still had some power left.
If this sword were to be used on a human body, one can imagine how powerful it would be.
Lu Qingshan did not stop the test. He pointed his finger and the Soul-Crying Sword began to rampage through the mountains and forests.
boom--
boom--
boom--
After a massive bombardment that destroyed the original ancient forest in this small area, Lu Qingshan finally figured out the upper limit of his current flying sword skills.
The effective attack distance is forty feet. Beyond this distance, he will not be able to accurately control the flying sword.
If fully activated, the flying sword could reach a speed of up to three-fifths of the speed of sound, far surpassing any ballistic spell cast by a mage of the same level.
This was when he had just entered the foundation-building stage and his flying sword technique was only level 1.
It is conceivable that if the level of flying sword technique is high, the speed of the flying sword will reach an astonishing level. At least it will not be difficult to break the speed of sound.
But this is also normal, fast is the characteristic of Feijian.
Lu Qingshan took a look at his own consumption. He could still hold on to his spiritual energy consumption, but his spiritual consciousness consumption was relatively high.
With his current 10 points of spiritual awareness, even at his peak state, if he used all his strength to activate the flying sword, he could only send out ten flying swords, and then he would be unable to continue.
…
After testing the sword-controlling and flying sword techniques, Lu Qingshan was satisfied and called off the battle.
A normal foundation-building sword cultivator, after advancing to the foundation-building stage, needs to spend at least one or two years practicing sword-controlling and sword-flying techniques before he or she can initially possess the combat power of a foundation-building sword cultivator.
But with the experience points, Lu Qingshan can complete the journey that an ordinary swordsman would take one or two years to complete in just one day.
