Kong Wenbin's Ice Soul Sword Mantra was similar to Lu Xuan's Lightning Sword Technique. Lu Xuan's Lightning Sword Technique's eighth form was the accumulation of all the sword force from the first seven forms. The Ice Soul Sword Mantra, on the other hand, was the condensation of all the ice elemental energy accumulated from the first few forms to form the strongest move, Ice Soul Condensation.
Lu Xuan only felt a strong sense of oppression in the face of such a huge amount of ice elemental force. If it was any other ordinary warrior, they might not even be able to move under Kong Wenbin's attack and could only take it head-on.
However, Lu Xuan was not an ordinary person. He had the peak mid-stage sword intent and the Azure Dragon bloodline. Unless there was a huge difference in strength, it was impossible to suppress him.
The sword intent and bloodline power burst out at the same time. Lu Xuan immediately felt the pressure on him decrease. His nearly immobile body regained its freedom.
The sword intent and bloodline power seemed to be very slow, but in reality, it was very fast. It was very profound, and the audience was mesmerized by it.
"Soaring Dragon in the Sky!"
After Lu Xuan finished speaking, he suddenly soared into the sky. There was no beautiful light effect, only an extremely dense aura. It was very similar to the Cloud Startling Sword, but in terms of might, it was much stronger.
The crowd only felt a flash of light before their eyes. Lu Xuan had already risen into the sky along with the longsword in his hand. The oppressive force created by Kong Wenbin's move was completely ignored by Lu Xuan. Wherever the longsword went, the ice elemental energy seal was completely broken. Like a flying dragon, Lu Xuan soared into the sky.
Kong Wenbin let out another low growl when he sensed Lu Xuan's aura that could break through everything. He circulated all the Origin Power in his body without holding anything back. At this moment, the air on the sparring arena seemed to have frozen, and the translucent ice in the air became even more solid.
Xiao Chen waved his sword, and the Ice Soul fell!
"Break!" Lu Xuan shouted. The tip of the Star Shattering Sword was already pressed against the Ice Soul.
Ka ka ka!
The tip of Lu Xuan's sword slowly pierced into the Ice Soul. A series of shattering sounds rang out. It was only a short moment, but for Kong Wenbin, it felt like an eternity. He, lost …
Boom!
Under Lu Xuan's attack, the Ice Soul that Kong Wenbin condensed with all his strength suddenly exploded apart, and it shattered into countless pieces of ice that spread throughout the entire arena.
Ice shards rained down from the sky. Lu Xuan, who had exhausted all his strength from his sword, landed lightly on the ground at this moment. He had not even used Flying Dragon when he faced Wei Suo, but at this moment, he displayed it to the fullest in front of everyone.
The entire Martial Arts Discussion Hall was in complete silence. None of the disciples made a sound as they stared blankly at the duo on the stage. To be more specific, they were staring at Lu Xuan on the stage.
Junior Brother Lu, who just entered Cloud Sky Mountain, actually won? With the strength of the Body Refinement Stage, he defeated Kong Wenbin, who has always occupied the first position of the core disciples? Kong Wenbin, who was in the Spirit Refinement Stage?
No one had expected this outcome. Even when Kong Wenbin admitted defeat, they thought that Lu Xuan had already reached his limit and wouldn't be able to withstand Kong Wenbin's final move. However, the outcome was still beyond their expectations.
They didn't see the battle between Lu Xuan and Wei Suo. In their opinion, a Body Refinement Stage facing a Spirit Refinement Stage would only result in defeat. But now, Lu Xuan had opened up a whole new world for them. It turned out that a Body Refinement Stage could also defeat a Spirit Refinement Stage!
Lu Xuan gradually withdrew the powerful aura that was being emitted from his body. The power of the bloodline wasn't endless. If Lu Xuan didn't integrate a drop of Azure Dragon Blood Essence and just some ordinary blood, he wouldn't be able to reach such a level.
Compared to the high-spirited Lu Xuan, Kong Wenbin's face was full of dejection. He lost. After releasing his most powerful attack, he still lost. Whether it was the difference in strength between him and Lu Xuan, or the battle that involved his face, it was difficult for him to accept this outcome.
However, the result wouldn't change according to his will. A loss was a loss. This was an objective fact.
"You won, I lost. You are worthy of Junior Sister Chenxi." Kong Wenbin's voice was a little hoarse. After he finished speaking, he didn't want to stay any longer. He turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait." Lu Xuan's voice came from behind him.
A trace of anger flashed across Kong Wenbin's face. "You've already won. Don't tell me you still want to humiliate me?"
Lu Xuan was startled. He then smiled and shook his head. "You've misunderstood me. I just wanted to ask. I clearly felt that with your strength, you shouldn't be able to display such powerful strength. I wonder if it's convenient for you to tell me the reason?"
Although they were both at the first layer of the Spirit Refinement Realm, Lu Xuan could feel that Kong Wenbin's strength wasn't as strong as Wei Suo's. However, in reality, Kong Wenbin's strength had already surpassed Wei Suo's. Previously, Wei Suo couldn't even withstand Lu Xuan's Dragon Battles in the Wild. Although Kong Wenbin was also defeated by the Dragon Battles in the Wild, he still managed to withstand it. It was just that Lu Xuan had completely destroyed his ice and snow scene.
Kong Wenbin stared fixedly at Lu Xuan, as if he was trying to find a different meaning from Lu Xuan's eyes. Unfortunately, Lu Xuan was asking sincerely, without any other emotions.
"That is because I have already comprehended the state of ice. The Cultivation Technique that I cultivate is an ice-attributed Cultivation Technique. My Martial Techniques are also ice-attributed Martial Techniques. When paired with my state of ice, they naturally bring out the best in each other, allowing me to display a combat strength that exceeds my own strength." After hesitating for a while, Kong Wenbin finally opened his mouth to explain. These things weren't secrets after all.
"Ice Intent?" Lu Xuan's heart skipped a beat. He had heard a new term. Everyone's strength increased along with their cultivation level. However, fighting strength was linked to many things, such as Cultivation Methods, Martial Skills, Weapon Intents, and even Lu Xuan's Bloodline Power. These things were one of the reasons why Lu Xuan could fight above his cultivation level. Without a doubt, Kong Wenbin's Ice Intent was also one of the reasons why he could fight above his cultivation level.
Since Lu Xuan had asked, Kong Wenbin didn't hide it anymore. As the number one core disciple, he was still broad-minded. Normally, he was respected by most disciples. The reason why he didn't get along with Lu Xuan was because of Xia Chenxi.
Immediately, he opened his mouth again, "Intent is a very mysterious thing. It's not a Martial Skill, nor is it a Cultivation Method. It's a kind of comprehension, similar to Sword Intent. However, there are many kinds of Intents. Besides the Ice Intent that I've comprehended, there's also the Wind Intent, the Fire Intent, the Thunder Intent, etc. When you comprehend a certain Intent, your fighting strength will greatly increase. However, I can't tell you how to comprehend it. Intent is something that can only be comprehended and not explained."
Lu Xuan nodded slightly. He had already faintly understood a little. Intents were purely comprehended and naturally couldn't be imparted to others. However, comprehending an Intent would greatly increase one's fighting strength. Just like Kong Wenbin, he could use his own strength to create a scene of ice and snow. Within this scene, Kong Wenbin could control everything.
"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Kong. I've more or less understood it." Lu Xuan bowed towards Kong Wenbin. Regardless of the grudges between him and Kong Wenbin, Kong Wenbin's magnanimity to be able to explain these things to him made Lu Xuan somewhat admire him.
Kong Wenbin nodded slightly, turned around and prepared to leave. However, after taking two steps, he turned his head again and said, "Your Sword Intent has reached the peak of the Intermediate Stage. It's obvious that your comprehension is very high. As long as you put in some effort, it shouldn't be difficult for you to comprehend the Intent. However, if you want to display the greatest effect of the Intent, it's best to reach the Spirit Refinement Stage. With your Body Refinement Stage strength, you won't be able to display enough strength."
This was the truth. After reaching the Spirit Refinement Stage, one would be able to use the Natal Yuan Force within his body as a guide to mobilize a huge amount of Yuan Force of Heaven and Earth for his own use. However, the Body Refinement Stage couldn't do so. The reason why Lu Xuan was able to display strength that was comparable to Kong Wenbin's was because of his Martial Skill and Bloodline Power.
"Also," Kong Wenbin glanced at Xia Chenxi below the stage, pursed his lips and said, "I won't give up."
After saying this, Kong Wenbin really didn't stay any longer. He directly left, and no one stopped him.
Lu Xuan couldn't help but laugh. Kong Wenbin's magnanimity was not bad. However, when it came to feelings, he was indeed extremely stubborn. This was also human nature. No matter how strong a martial artist was, unless they were those who walked the path of emotionlessness, it was very difficult for them to overcome the obstacle of the word 'love'.
"Lu Xuan, you win. There's still a long way to go, let's wait and see!" Sun Yingshuai fiercely glared at Lu Xuan, and reluctantly looked at the Yuan Stones on the round plate. Then, he swung his sleeves and left. His magnanimity was not comparable to Kong Wenbin's.
A few disciples who were close to Sun Yingshuai, after hesitating for a moment, also chased after him.
"Congratulations, Junior Brother Lu. I have never heard of a new disciple being able to defeat all the disciples in the Martial Competition. Junior Brother Lu has set a new record this time," Xiao Long said with a smile. He really admired Lu Xuan's strength. In terms of cultivation level, Lu Xuan was not as good as Xiao Long, but he was able to defeat Kong Wenbin.
"Senior Brother Xiao is too kind. I was just lucky," Lu Xuan said modestly.
"Haha, Junior Brother Lu, you don't have to be so humble. Everyone has seen your strength. In two days, I will call some brothers to welcome Junior Brother Lu. At that time, don't reject me. I won't disturb you today," Xiao Long said with cupped hands. Instructor Yang and the others were here, obviously to find Lu Xuan and the others for something.
"Of course, of course!" Lu Xuan said with a smile. Since he had become a core disciple, he naturally had to be on good terms with the other disciples.
Then, a group of disciples came forward to congratulate Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan had such achievements when he just entered the Cloud Sky Mountain. What would happen in the future? It was naturally not wrong to build a good relationship with him first.
After exchanging greetings for a while, the disciples in the Martial Competition Hall left one after another, leaving only the three new disciples, Xia Chenxi and Lu Xuan.
"What a great Lu Xuan! What a great Soaring Dragon!" A middle-aged man dressed like an instructor smiled and walked towards Lu Xuan. "Let me introduce myself first. I am Guo Hang, one of the instructors of the core disciples. You can call me Instructor Guo. This is Instructor Ma Cheng. There is no need to introduce Instructor Yang as you already know him."
