This sword trial at Shishan had a profound effect on Ling Xiao. All this time, he had looked down on the sword skills of this world to some extent. Shushan was a sect that pursued the Sword Dao, so upon arriving in this secular world where the sword was paramount, he had subconsciously underestimated its sword skills and cultivation techniques.
After all, Ling Xiao's mind held countless sword skills and cultivation techniques—the very quintessence of the entire Shushan Sword Sect, accumulated over eons! Although he was only in the Foundation Establishment Stage now, his strength was nothing like it had been in his past life at the same stage due to this body's constitution. He couldn't use many of the sword skills in his head for the time being, but any one of them he *could* use would be considered at least Saint-level in this world, if not a Divine-level Sword Skill!
