When he heard that, Su Zimo's expression was calm. However, the disciples below were invigorated and excited.
"Senior Brother Feng is finally going to use his sect's secret skill!"
"I heard that it's one of the three great secret skills, Ethereal Sword. The sword is ethereal and traceless."
"Ethereal Sword is the most advanced sword wielding technique in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I'm finally going to get to see it today."
Most of the people present were trial disciples of the five peaks and would not have the chance to see the sect's secret skill on a normal day. At that moment, all of them widened their eyes, wanting to see what was going on.
The disheveled old man frowned and looked at Wen Xuan. "I think we should end this battle here and consider it a draw."
To be fair, if Feng Haoyu were to use his sect's secret skill to defeat Su Zimo, he would have already lost.
That was because normal trial disciples did not have the right to learn Ethereal Sword.
Right now, the disheveled old man's suggestion was a compromise.
After a moment of silence, Wen Xuan shook his head. "We're already at this stage. How are we going to convince the masses if there's no victor?"
"Wen Xuan, you're indignant that Feng Haoyu can't win this round, right?" The disheveled old man was a little angry.
"Yes!"
Wen Xuan glanced sideways at the disheveled old man. "I don't care if the three of you teach Su Zimo elixir refinement, weapon refinement and sword formations. However, as a disciple of Spirit Peak, Feng Haoyu must not lose on the battlefield! This is the glory of Spirit Peak! "
"You …" The disheveled old man hesitated.
Wen Xuan waved it off. "I'm never wrong about people. Haoyu is the hope of the sect's future. At the end of the day, the legacy of the sect is not about elixir refinement or weapon refinement. Strength is the most important. "
Right then, in the spirit arena, Su Zimo interrupted the argument between the disheveled old man and Wen Xuan.
"Sect's secret skill?"
Su Zimo smiled and shook his head. "Feng Haoyu, if that's your final trump card, you're bound to lose this battle!"
Everyone was stunned!
No one could have imagined that Su Zimo could say something like that against the sect's secret skill!
Was he looking down on the sect's secret skill or Feng Haoyu?
What right does Su Zimo have?
"Hahaha!"
Feng Haoyu roared with laughter. "Su Zimo, I'm guessing that you don't know how powerful your sect's secret skill is. Today, I'll teach you how to behave!"
"Quick!"
Conjuring a sword art, Feng Haoyu sent a stream of spirit qi into the flying sword from his fingertip.
The body of the sword trembled incessantly as it tore through the void. A series of afterimages actually appeared behind it, confusing the eyes and making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.
Seeing this, Wen Xuan nodded his head with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
The brown haired youth's expression was grim as he said in a deep voice, "Ethereal Sword is split into three levels. To think that Feng Haoyu would have comprehended the first level, Afterimage, so quickly."
"Haoyu has the Wind Spirit Root and is most suited to cultivate Misty Sword. Otherwise, I would not have let him learn the sect's secret technique at the Qi Condensation Realm." Wen Xuan said calmly.
In the Spirit Arena.
Su Zimo retrieved the three flying swords and hovered them in front of him. He slapped his storage bag and three more flying swords appeared in the blink of an eye.
Furthermore, all three flying swords were inferior-grade spirit weapons as well!
The entire place was dumbfounded and in an uproar.
Six inferior-grade flying swords!
For Qi Refinement Warriors, this was something unimaginable.
"W-What's going on?"
"Holy f * ck! Why did Su Zimo produce three inferior-grade spirit weapons at once? Are those things so cheap now?"
Most of the cultivators' eyes were widened and their mouths were agape, their jaws almost dropping to the ground.
Previously, Su Zimo's three inferior-grade flying swords had already caused many disciples to be envious. Now that he had produced three more, everyone could not take it anymore.
The trial disciples who had been in the sect for a few years felt as though they had wasted their time. They did not even manage to obtain a single inferior-grade spirit weapon. However, the other party had produced six less than a year after joining the sect.
At that moment, most of the sect disciples gradually came to their senses as well.
There was no way the six almost identical flying swords came from the sect's Spirit Weapon Chamber.
The only possibility was that Su Zimo had refined them himself!
If I had known earlier, I would have gotten closer to Junior Brother Su back then. Who knows, I might have been able to get an inferior-grade spirit weapon to play with. "
"If I had six inferior-grade spirit weapons, why would I need to learn sword wielding techniques? If I met an opponent, I would just throw them at them and smash them to death …"
"Don't spout nonsense. Senior Brother Feng is learning the sect's secret skill. It's not something that can be defended against by a bunch of random spirit weapons."
Despite the commotion below, the five peak masters remained silent.
The disheveled old man frowned even more.
While six inferior-grade spirit weapons were powerful, there was no way they could defend against the sect's secret skill.
Sensing the disheveled old man's worries, the brown haired youth consoled, "No matter what, this lad is truly talented in weapon refinement. If we groom him well, he might be able to shock everyone in the sect competition."
In other words, the brown haired youth was implying that even if Su Zimo lost this match, it would not affect his position in the sect.
After all, everyone had their strengths and weaknesses.
Su Zimo was skilled in weapon refinement and elixir refinement while Feng Haoyu was skilled in combat – the two of them had different strengths.
However, they did not notice that Xuan Yi who was seated beside the brown haired youth was extremely nervous right now as he stared fixedly at Su Zimo with a hint of agitation in his eyes.
"It's true that six flying swords alone won't be able to defend against the sect's secret skill. However, if …"
In the spirit arena.
When Feng Haoyu saw Su Zimo summon six flying swords at the same time, his expression changed slightly. However, it returned to normal almost instantly as he scoffed coldly, "Su Zimo, you're way too naive! Do you think that you can defend against my sword just because you have six inferior-grade spirit weapons? "
"Go!"
A cold glint flashed through Feng Haoyu's eyes as he hollered softly. His sword dashed over with a chilling sword qi that tore through the air with a shuddering explosion!
A series of afterimages appeared behind the sword in a dazzling manner.
With a calm expression, Su Zimo waved his hands continuously, controlling the six flying swords in midair.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
The six flying swords crisscrossed in midair, leaving behind streams of sword qi.
The Tripartite Sword Formation was a triangular sword formation.
As for the Hexagonal Sword Formation, it was an evolved version of the Tripartite Sword Formation. By stacking two triangular sword formations together and fusing them together, there were six sword formation corners!
Be it in terms of defense or killing prowess, it had increased tremendously!
"What's that?"
"Eh? Where have I seen that hexagonal star formed by flying swords before?"
"That seems to be … the symbol on Peak Master Xuan Yi's sleeves!"
Everyone looked towards Xuan Yi instinctively.
At that moment, Xuan Yi had already stood up. In his excitement, he nodded. "Good, good, good! To think that you've really mastered the Hexagonal Sword Formation! "
The other four peak masters had looks of disbelief on their faces as well.
There was only a single Sword Formation Master in the sect – Xuan Yi.
Furthermore, as a Perfected Jin Dan, he naturally knew how difficult it was to become a Sword Formation Master.
Xuan Yi had a hexagonal star pattern on his sleeves – it was clear that he was rather proud of it as well.
But now, the reappearance of the Hexagonal Sword Formation and the fact that it was created by a Qi Refinement Warrior shocked everyone!
Misty Peak, Ethereal Palace.
Patriarch Lingyun's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly opened his eyes. A strange glint flashed through his eyes as he murmured softly, "It's the Hexagonal Sword Formation?"
In the skies above Array Peak, a pair of gigantic wings was faintly discernible within the clouds as a pair of eyes watched everything that was happening in the spirit arena silently.
"Fufu, this lad. Not bad, not bad."
