Bai Yu arrived at the Technique Pavilion, seeking a new sword technique. "The True Chaos Scripture holds a vast array of techniques," he mused, "but alas, my current cultivation level restricts me from utilizing them. They demand a far more profound stage."
Bai Yu strode towards the sword technique bookshelf, his obsidian eyes scanning the rows of dusty manuals. Narrowing his focus, he picked out three that piqued his interest:
[Falling Star]: This technique focuses on delivering a single, devastating blow. The cultivator channels their spiritual energy, charging their sword with immense power. They then leap high into the air, unleashing a downward strike that carries the force of a falling star.
[Mirage of Blades]: This technique creates illusory duplicates of the cultivator and their sword. By channeling their spiritual energy, the cultivator forms shimmering copies that mimic their movements. This technique can confuse opponents and create openings for surprise attacks, but requires a significant amount of spiritual energy to maintain.
[Gravitational Binding]: This technique manipulates gravity around the blade. The cultivator channels their spiritual energy, creating a localized area of increased gravity around their sword. This disrupts an opponent's movements and makes it difficult for them to dodge or parry attacks.
"I think i should use The Mirage of Blades technique" thought Bai Yu. He decisively chose the Mirage of Blades technique, exchanging 1,000 Contribution Points for the knowledge. This left him with a meager 100 points remaining.
Wasting no time, he made his way back to his courtyard, eager to begin practicing this new skill. The next five days leading up to the Outer Disciple competition became a blur of focused training. Bai Yu diligently honed his swordsmanship while meticulously practicing the intricacies of the Mirage of Blades technique.Two hours before the competition, Bai Yu paused his training and muttered to himself, "Finally, with the Mirage of Blades technique, I can produce a single illusion to confuse my opponents in the tournament."
He set off for the competition grounds alongside Wu Feng, Ye Ming, and Leng, who were also participating in the event. The walk was filled with lively chatter as they approached the venue, which was already bustling with Outer Disciples.
