The heavens began with the Divine Condor becoming the disciple of the Old Urchin.

Chapter 88: Flash Flood

As Qian Jin pondered, the Divine Eagle suddenly cried out and then spread its wings to attack him.

Upon seeing this, Qian Jin immediately understood that the Condor Heroes wanted to practice swordsmanship with him.

So he quickly picked up the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword and engaged the Divine Eagle in battle.

Qian Jin's internal energy is now highly refined, so wielding the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword is not difficult for him. However, Qian Jin intends to hone his swordsmanship, so he resorts to brute force.

The Divine Eagle possessed immense strength. At first, Qian Jin could defend himself with his swordsmanship, but as time went on, he could no longer hold his own and was knocked to the ground by a single wing strike from the Divine Eagle.

Seeing this, the Divine Eagle stopped attacking, called out to Qian Jin a few times, and then turned and left.

After the Condor Heroes left, Xiaolongnu and Cheng Ying came over and said:

"Brother Qian, was Brother Diao's fight with you just now a test of your martial arts skills?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Jin said:

"It seems that Brother Condor understood our conversation and wanted to use it to help me comprehend Senior Dugu's swordsmanship!"

Upon hearing this, Little Dragon Girl was somewhat surprised and said:

"Brother Condor, you actually understand Senior Dugu's swordsmanship?"

Qian Jin nodded upon hearing this and said:

"Senior Dugu was invincible in the world back then. Later, he accompanied Brother Condor. They must have often sparred in swordsmanship when they had nothing to do!"

As time went by, Brother Condor gradually learned Senior Dugu's swordsmanship!

Xiaolongnu and Cheng Ying both had an inexplicable trust in Qian Jin, and now that they heard him say this, they naturally believed him as well.

Cheng Ying thought for a moment, then a look of joy appeared on her face, and she said:

"Brother Qian, if that's the case, doesn't that mean we'll have a chance to witness Senior Dugu's unparalleled swordsmanship?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Jin said:

"Perhaps!"

Although Brother Condor is spiritually gifted and understands Senior Dugu's swordsmanship, it would be very difficult for him to comprehend the master's unparalleled swordsmanship without the sword manual.

We can only try our best to understand it; as for how much we will ultimately grasp, that's hard to say.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Ying naturally assumed that Qian Jin was simply being modest.

After all, in her master's eyes, Qian Jin's talent was that of a martial arts prodigy. What martial arts in this world could he not comprehend?

When his master taught Qian Jin the three unique skills, he learned them all in less than a day.

"Brother Qian, I believe in you. You will definitely be able to comprehend Senior Dugu's unparalleled swordsmanship."

Seeing the adoration in Cheng Ying's eyes, Qian Jin thought for a moment and said:

I'll do my best!

"If one day I truly master Senior Dugu's unparalleled swordsmanship, I will pass this sword technique on to you."

Cheng Ying was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly bowed to Qian Jin, saying:

"In that case, I'll thank you in advance, Brother Qian."

……

Half a day later, the divine eagle returned, carrying three deep purple snake galls in its mouth, and placed them in front of the three people.

The snake gallbladders smelled incredibly foul, but Qian Jin knew that they were treasures for enhancing internal strength.

Seeing the divine eagle calling softly towards him, he immediately picked up a snake gall and swallowed it.

Although the snake gall was unpalatable, after swallowing it, Qian Jin felt his internal strength increase significantly after circulating his energy slightly.

Inwardly praising the miraculous effects of snake gall, Qian Jin prepared to reach out and eat a second one.

Suddenly, the Divine Eagle stretched out its wings and blocked Qian Jin's arm, then called out twice to Xiaolongnu and Cheng Ying.

Qian Jin was taken aback when he saw this, but then he immediately understood.

It turns out that the three snake galls that Divine Eagle brought back were one for each of them.

Presumably, he had told the Condor Heroes that he should treat Xiaolongnu and Cheng Ying the same way he treated him, so the Condor Heroes treated them all equally and brought back a snake gall for each of the three of them.

Thinking of this, Qian Jin quickly said to Xiaolongnu and Cheng Ying:

"Long'er, sister, this snake gall is a divine item that can enhance internal strength. You should consume it quickly and not disappoint Brother Diao's kindness."

Upon hearing this, Xiaolongnu and Cheng Ying each took a snake gall and swallowed it.

Seeing that the three of them had finished eating, the Divine Eagle brought over the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword and invited Qian Jin to practice swordsmanship together.

From then on, Qian Jin practiced swordsmanship with Shen Diao every day. In their spare time, Shen Diao would find snake gallbladders for the three of them to help them improve their internal strength.

After more than a month, Qian Jin's strength was enough to barely contend with the immense power of the Divine Eagle.

Holding the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword in his hand, he no longer felt its weight; with a casual swing, he could hear the sound of air being cut.

It is worth mentioning that during this period, Xiaolongnu and Cheng Ying, like him, consumed snake gallbladders every day, and their internal strength also greatly improved.

Xiaolongnu was already extremely skilled in martial arts, and with Qian Jin teaching her an enhanced version of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra Sword Technique, she devoted herself to studying swordsmanship in her spare time.

His martial arts skills are already comparable to those of the Five Greats of today.

Although Cheng Ying was Huang Yaoshi's disciple and had learned excellent martial arts, her talent was limited, and her martial arts skills were ultimately far inferior to Xiaolongnu's.

Cheng Ying was deeply troubled by this, feeling that being with Qian Jin was like being a burden.

So during this time, besides practicing her sect's martial arts, she would watch intently whenever Qian Jin sparred with the Condor Heroes.

Even after Qian Jin and Shen Diao were tired from fighting, she would pick up the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword and swing it a few times.

Normally, it would be extremely difficult for Cheng Ying, with her slender and delicate body, to wield the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword.

However, during this period, she, like Qian Jin, took snake gallbladders every day, which greatly increased her internal strength and also gave her superhuman strength.

When wielding the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword, he truly felt as if he were lifting a heavy weight with ease.

Qian Jin was also dumbfounded.

After all, it felt a little strange to see such a delicate woman like Cheng Ying wielding a huge black iron sword.

Early that morning, the sky was filled with dark clouds, and a torrential downpour began.

The divine eagle cried out at the cave entrance early in the morning, urging Qian Jin to follow it.

Seeing this, Qian Jin knew that the Condor Heroes wanted to take him to practice swordsmanship in the mountain torrents, so he immediately picked up the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword and followed in the rain.

Seeing this, Cheng Ying couldn't help but ask:

"Sister Long, it's raining so hard outside, where are Brother Qian and Brother Diao going?"

Upon hearing this, Little Dragon Girl shook her head and said:

"I don't know either. Why don't we go and take a look?"

Cheng Ying nodded upon hearing this, and immediately left the cave with Xiaolongnu, chasing after the direction Qian Jin had gone.

After traveling only a few miles, they heard a continuous booming sound. Further on, they saw a waterfall cascading down between the mountain peaks, rushing into the stream with a thunderous roar.

By this time, the rain was pouring down harder and harder. Xiaolongnu and Cheng Ying's clothes were already completely soaked and clung tightly to their bodies.

As soon as the two arrived, they saw the divine eagle suddenly raise its head and let out a long cry, then leap into the stream, stand steadily on a boulder, and use its wings to knock back a rock that had been swept down by the mountain torrent.

When the rock floated downstream again, the eagle continued to extend its wings and strike it back. This was repeated until the seventh time, when the eagle finally struck the rock with its wings, knocking it out of the stream and onto the bank.
