"How is this possible? I have already trained my Thunder and Lightning Godly Fist Art to the Thunder Armor level. The power of my fist has been increased by fifty percent. Even a Late Clasping Yuan Realm warrior might not be able to take it head-on. How did he manage to break it with only one sword attack? Was that sword intent?"
Thinking of the word 'sword intent', Gao Yuan was shocked. He looked at Ye Chen, who was covered in electric arcs, in disbelief. Ye Chen's body, which was not that tall, had been enlarged infinitely. An invisible sharp qi had torn the air apart and shattered the void.
Swoosh!
Among the bright electric arcs, Ye Chen walked out. His blue robe was clean and tidy, without a single speck of dust on it. Before those electric snakes could even get within three feet of him, they would be shattered by his protective Zhen Qi, which contained a sharp Qi, and couldn't hurt him at all.
"I have taken three punches from you. Now, it is time for you to take one sword attack from me."
A sharp light flashed in Ye Chen's eyes. Two beams of sword Qi shot out from nowhere, landing on Gao Yuan's body. In the next second, Gao Yuan sensed it immediately. His hair stood up and his scalp was numb.
"Isn't it just one sword attack? I would like to see how you are going to break my defense with one sword attack. "
Gao Yuan was very scared of Ye Chen's sword intent. Although he had not experienced the power of the sword intent in the last Hidden Dragon Rank competition, he could still remember the power of the sword intent. However, it was not a competition right now, so he had enough time to set up his defense.
"Three Layers of Thunder and Lightning!"
Lowering his body, Gao Yuan shouted with a low voice. He put his hands together and separated them. After doing this three times, three layers of blue thunder and lightning defense screens appeared in front of him, lined up neatly and stacked on top of each other. Looking from inside, the outside world suddenly became blurry.
"I did not expect that Gao Yuan would be forced to use all of his defenses!"
"Once a sword artist has mastered the sword intent, his attacking power would double. Among the warriors at the same level, only a few would be able to compete with him. No wonder he did not take Gao Yuan seriously."
"But it should be impossible for him to break three layers of defense with one sword attack."
Seeing that Ye Chen had mastered the sword intent, most of the people's faces turned serious.
Reaching out her hand, Murong Qingcheng smoothed her hair that had been messed up by the wind, and said with interest, "Entry level of sword intent … I don't think there are many people in the whole South Zhuo Region who have reached this level, right?"
Qi Shaofeng paused for a second, then nodded and said, "In the last Hidden Dragon Rank competition, there were thirteen people who had mastered the sword intent, and two of them had reached the entry-level of the sword intent. However, only eight of them managed to make it to the top of the ranking list, as the other five were too weak, and still immature in using the sword intent. This time, I'm afraid that they will make a comeback."
"There are over a hundred billion people in the South Rudra Region, but only thirteen people under the age of twenty-four managed to comprehend the sword intent. I never thought that one of the nine nations, where Lin Yue is from, would be able to comprehend the entry-level sword intent. He is indeed not to be underestimated."
"Indeed, sword artists who have comprehended sword intent are extremely terrifying. They are able to maintain their battle power at its peak at all times. Any factor that is disadvantageous to the battle will be destroyed by the sword intent."
Qi Shaofeng took a deep breath and stared at Ye Chen with a pair of shining eyes.
"You have to catch it!"
Once Gao Yuan was ready, Ye Chen took a step forward and swung the Dragon Spring Sword horizontally from left to right, without even the slightest trace of power.
Along with the sword move, the air rippled like water and was sliced open.
Pop!
Pop!
Pop!
The three layers of thunder and lightning defensive screens only managed to block Ji Hao's attack for a split second, after which, the screen was penetrated by the sword Qi. Gao Yuan, who was under the protection of the three layers of thunder and lightning, let out a mouthful of blood, and his thunder and lightning armour instantly shattered.
"Is this the power of the sword intent? Defense is nothing to him."
Gao Yuan let out another mouthful of blood, and looked dispirited.
The back garden was deathly silent, and only the rustling of flowers and grasses could be heard from time to time. After quite a while, people started talking to each other.
"With only one sword move, Gao Yuan lost."
"This guy is incredibly powerful. If he could be a little bit more powerful, he would be another one of the most powerful warriors in the Hidden Dragon Rank competition."
Standing in the crowd, Lin Yue was silently admiring Ji Hao. He thought to himself, 'How long has it been? He has made such a great progress again.
"Thank you for letting me win."
Cupping his hands, Ye Chen stepped back to Lin Yue's side.
"Ye Chen, that was …"
Ye Chen said, "Initial success of the sword intent."
Before, his sword intent had been infinitely close to the initial success. When he passed through the Natural Moat Gorge, the remaining sword intent of the Battle King had not only shattered his sword intent, but had also brought him a slight bit of enlightenment. Added with the slight bit of enlightenment, he had finally broken through the shackles and reached the initial success of the sword intent.
The initial success of the sword intent and the sword intent that was approaching the initial success seemed to be only one step away from the initial success, but the difference between the two was like the difference between a normal person and a disabled person.
"Just as I thought."
Lin Yue nodded and sighed silently.
Gao Yuan was defeated and didn't dare to provoke Ye Chen again. The others were slightly surprised, but then stopped talking about this. To them, winning or losing was way too normal. The younger generation had never been willing to submit to each other, but if one of them lost, there was nothing they could say. All they could do was to go back and practice hard, and try to defeat their opponent in the future to wash away the shame they had suffered today. Under such a fierce competition, they had been making amazing progress, because they had to surpass their opponents over and over again. That kind of pressure was enough to stimulate their potentials bit by bit.
Every time the younger generation reached their peak, the True Spirit Continent would become prosperous, and powerful warriors would emerge in great numbers.
"Murong, I didn't have the chance to fight against you in the last Hidden Dragon Rank competition, but this time, how about we have a short fight?" Except for Qi Shaofeng and Murong Qingcheng, another Mid Clasping Yuan Realm warrior couldn't wait any longer. He wanted to fight against Murong Qingcheng, to see how powerful he was.
Murong Qingcheng smiled and responded, "Please."
The air was as thick as water. Murong Qingcheng's silhouette silently appeared in the middle of the field. At that moment, many people seemed to have stopped thinking.
"Force field?"
A trace of surprise flashed across Ye Chen's eyes.
Lin Yue said in a low voice, "Murong Qingcheng has been cultivating one of the two most powerful martial arts of the Sky Flying Devil Martial School. The Sky Devil Great Art is a top-rank Earth Realm martial art, divided into fifteen levels. Once you reach the sixth level, you will be able to generate a Sky Devil Force Field, which allows you to control the air in the force field and increase your speed to the limit. Moreover, the Sky Devil Force Field will cancel out a part of the enemy's attack, or even all of it. Many people believe that she is as powerful as the top ten of the Hidden Dragon Rank.
However, the one who challenged Murong Qingcheng is not an ordinary person either. His name is Wei Renjie, he has already attained the blade intent two years ago, and is ranked thirty-seventh, even higher than Qi Shaofeng. I wonder what level he has reached now. I've made the right decision to come here, I can actually watch a fight of such a high level. "
Finished speaking, Lin Yue felt his blood boiling.
"Top-rank Earth Realm martial art, Sky Devil Great Art! Blade intent! "
Ye Chen slowly let out a long breath. The rank six Sky Flying Devil Martial School was indeed powerful, they even had a top-rank Earth Realm martial art, which was not something a rank seven martial institution could compare with. In this case, there was a reason why rank seven and above martial institutions were called 'super martial institutions', because their comprehensive power was way too powerful. As for that young man named Wei Renjie, no wonder he wasn't affected by Murong Qingcheng's aura. It turned out that he had attained the blade intent. Those who had attained the blade intent and the sword intent had a strong will, and wouldn't be easily affected by anything. But of course, once they were affected, the consequences would be extremely severe. In the best case scenario, their blade intent and sword intent would be destroyed, and in the worst case scenario, they would never be able to achieve anything in their entire lives.
"If your Sky Devil Great Art was still at the sixth level, you would probably be defeated by me, Wei Renjie!"
The young man named Wei Renjie laughed and walked towards the open area step by step. With every step he took, the blade intent released from his body would grow stronger. By the seventh step, the blade intent had swooshed up into the sky, slicing the surrounding air into pieces.
"Brother Wei, you seem to be quite confident." Murong Qingcheng stood in the middle of the open area. The air around her was deathly still, without a single ripple. She wasn't affected by the blade intent at all.
"If I don't have confidence, I will naturally lose some momentum. How can I, Wei Renjie, not have confidence in myself?"
Chin!
Wei Renjie drew his blade out of the scabbard and attacked first.
The sharp blade Qi, driven by the blade intent, was like a peerless dragon, slashing towards Murong Qingcheng, who was not far away. Before the blade Qi even reached her, the ground three meters around Murong Qingcheng instantly caved in, and the area within three meters was where her force field was located.
"Break!"
Murong Qingcheng took a step forward, her slender palm slapping onto the blade Qi.
Buzz!
The air twisted rapidly. That slender palm looked weak and powerless, but it contained an extremely terrifying force field, twisting the trajectory of the blade Qi.
The blade Qi was twisted, and its power was instantly reduced by thirty percent. It was shattered by Murong Qingcheng's palm, disappearing into thin air.
"Stormy Waves!"
Wei Renjie yelled, holding his blade with both hands and slashing down.
Boooom!
The sound of crashing water was heard as an extremely thick bright blade Qi broke through the water. It carried an extremely powerful poetic perspective as it sliced out violently, devouring everything in front of it. Ye Chen was secretly shocked by its power. Ranked thirty-seventh in the Hidden Dragon Rank, he was indeed not a normal warrior.
"Sky Demon Power Field!"
Murong Qingcheng looked slightly more serious as she pushed both of her hands forward, creating an even more horrifying force field in front of her. She was trying to twist the tide and the blade Qi into pieces, turning them all into ashes.
Crack!
The first thing to be destroyed was the luxurious building behind Murong Qingcheng. The building was split in the middle, creating a huge crack. Then, Wei Renjie's blade Qi had also been shattered. When the blade Qi was about five meters away from Murong Qingcheng, it had been twisted to its limit by the horrifying Sky Demon Power Field and shattered.
"The seventh level of the Sky Demon Great Art!"
Wei Renjie stared at Murong Qingcheng, but did not launch another attack.
"Being able to break half of my Sky Demon Power Field, your blade intent must have reached the entry level, right?" Murong Qingcheng smiled lightly and asked back.
Putting his long blade back into the scabbard, Wei Renjie shook his head, "I lost. The Sky Demon Great Art is a top rank Earth Realm martial art, which is extremely hard to train. Once it reaches the seventh level, its power will increase exponentially. With my current power, I still cannot break your seventh gravity field, so it is not a shame that I lost."
The Sky Demon Great Art was indeed powerful, but it was not without its flaws, which was its slow training speed. Murong Qingcheng had already reached the peak-level of the Mid Clasping Yuan Realm, but his Sky Demon Great Art was only at the seventh level. It would take a long time for him to reach the eighth level. On the other hand, Ye Chen's Great Mystery Art was not as powerful as the Sky Demon Great Art, but his training speed was many times faster. Once he reached the ninth or tenth level, his Great Mystery Art should not be any weaker than his Sky Demon Great Art's seventh level. Fortunately, his training speed had always been fast, so it should not be too far away.
Ye Chen had seen all of this, and was calculating in his mind.
