As the sound of thunder reverberated, Rota was the first to be unable to take it. Her face turned pale, and she covered her ears.
The remaining three Conferred Knights did not have it easy either. With a stifled grunt, they retreated.
The violent thunderbolt pierced through the air, and the air currents flowed in all directions like boiling water, bringing with them a burning smell.
Everyone felt their bodies turn numb. The repercussions of the thunderbolt had left behind electrons in the air, causing them to be paralyzed and unable to move.
Everyone felt as if they were being enveloped by an endless explosive high temperature, and they could only activate their Reduced Force Fields to fend it off.
This continued until a piercing light flashed past, and it was as if a huge dragon formed from thunderbolts had devoured the earth and drilled into it.
When the light gradually dissipated, only a huge hole of over five meters deep was left in the ground. At the bottom of the hole was a large amount of glass-like crystals, as if lava had flowed past the surface.
Countless thunderbolts formed a high temperature of several ten thousand degrees Celsius, melting the ground.
To think that such a terrifying destructive force could be produced just by channeling the thunderbolt powers into the ground.
Duolun looked at Fang Xingjian with a complicated expression and mumbled, "Level 10? His Thunderbolt Sword Technique has reached level 10? Haha, to be able to cultivate the Thunderbolt Sword Technique to level 10 in just over an hour … Have all our previous cultivation gone to waste? "
As for the other two students, they were already in a daze.
They had never seen someone who could cultivate the Thunderbolt Sword Technique to level 10 in just one hour.
Rota looked at this scene with a proud and hopeful gaze, as if she was the one who had done it.
However, Duolun could not care less and asked directly, "You've cultivated the Thunderbolt Sword Technique to level 10?" His gaze was solemn and he was extremely serious.
Fang Xingjian nodded and said with some dissatisfaction, "It's level 10. If I continue to cultivate it, the efficiency will be slower. I'm afraid that I won't be able to reach the maximum level in one go."
Hearing Fang Xingjian's words, Duolun felt extremely disheartened. Fang Xingjian had cultivated the Thunderbolt Sword Technique to level 10 within an hour, yet he was still not satisfied. Then what about people like them who had been staying in the Killing Techniques Palace for a long period of time?
He could only say sourly, "More haste, less speed. You're progressing too fast. You might not have mastered many of the basics. Maybe you'll reach max level slowly."
Hearing this, the other two students nodded in agreement. However, Rota was displeased and retorted, "No matter how fast he is, he's still faster than other people who practice the Thunderbolt Sword Technique."
Hearing this, Doron was almost infuriated to death. However, seeing Rota's appearance, it was not good for him to quarrel with a beautiful young lady. Therefore, he could only look at Fang Xingjian with a vengeful gaze along with the other two students.
Fang Xingjian didn't care about that. He flicked the Banshee's Howl with his finger and said to Duolun, "Please enlighten me."
Duolun's eyes narrowed slightly. "You want to challenge me to the Thunderbolt Sword Technique?" He seemed to be in slight disbelief at what Fang Xingjian had said.
However, Fang Xingjian nodded and said seriously, "Don't I have to defeat you before I can learn the later Killing techniques?"
"Haha, you're really confident in defeating me." There was an additional hint of mockery in Duolun's expression. "What level are you at now? What's your synchronization rate? "
Rota also walked up and tried to persuade him, "Xingjian, what's the hurry? You've only learned it for an hour today. You'd better consolidate your Thunderbolt Sword Technique and challenge him after you've reached the max level.
"How can cultivating sword arts in isolation be faster than sparring with experts who practice the same sword arts as you? It's fine if you can't find such an opportunity, but the Killing Techniques Palace has provided you with such an opportunity. How can you let it go so easily? "
Fang Xingjian stroked the Banshee's Howl that had been strengthened to level 19 by the Swordless Path and said calmly, "Please enlighten me."
"Hmph, you're not wrong. Whether I've practiced my sword arts correctly or not, I'll know after sparring with an expert."
Duolun stood up and looked at Fang Xingjian arrogantly. He was ranked 38th this year and was at level 22. His Thunderbolt Sword Technique was at level 15. Even if Fang Xingjian's talent was stronger than his, it would be impossible for Fang Xingjian to defeat him without a few months of practice.
Even after a few months, Fang Xingjian might not be able to defeat him.
Duolun drew out a purple longsword with electricity flowing around it. It was a level 19 Superior Divine Weapon and had an extremely strong enhancement effect for the Thunderbolt Sword Technique.
He held onto the longsword and pointed it at Fang Xingjian from the side. With the demeanor of an expert, he said to Fang Xingjian, "Make your move. I'll give you some pointers on your sword arts so that you can …"
Before Duolun could finish his words, a flash of sword light had already shone before him. He barely managed to block with his sword and block Fang Xingjian's attack.
"So fast!"
Rumbling sounds of thunder rang out as their longswords clashed. At the same time, a myriad of electricity burst forth, and Duolun retreated, drenched in cold sweat.
However, Fang Xingjian's attacks had always been relentless. The Demoness' Howl in his hand brought about a series of afterimages, and the wind prints on it continued to slice through the scorching air, letting out piercing whistling sounds.
At the same time, with each sword attack from Fang Xingjian, there would be thunderbolts trembling in the void space, accompanied by streams of lightning, striking Duolun's body.
However, the Thunderbolt Sword Technique controlled thunderbolts, so how could he possibly be injured by them? Duolun performed the Lightning Evasion Stance, and countless thunderbolts were channeled into the ground through his body, not causing him any harm at all.
However, Duolun was infuriated after being forced into such a pathetic state by Fang Xingjian. He made up his mind to teach Fang Xingjian a lesson, and teach this arrogant genius a lesson. Duolun's Thunderbolt Sword Technique was fully displayed, and densely-packed thunderbolts exploded in the void space, blasting toward Fang Xingjian in waves.
Fang Xingjian received the attack with the Lightning Evasion Stance as well. Then, he swept his sword horizontally and retaliated with thunderbolts.
The two of them exchanged blows, moving around the first level of the palace hall. Each time their swords clashed, there would be thunderous explosions and electrical sparks.
White light flickered, continuously illuminating their bodies. They pierced through the air and emitted waves of high temperatures.
Amidst the thunderbolts, streams of thunderbolts moved around their bodies like dragons and snakes. From time to time, they would strike the ground, creating black charred marks.
Ordinary Knights would probably lose all ability to resist when faced with such thunderbolt attacks.
Rota and the others had long since retreated and arrived outside the door. They looked at the two figures moving about amidst the electrical sparks, sending out a myriad of thunderbolts and clashing against each other, causing explosions and high temperatures. The scene looked as if there were two thunderstorms fighting incessantly, fighting for territory.
A student looked at this scene in astonishment. "What's going on? Brother Duolun … To think that Brother Duolun can't take him down?"
"It's not just that he can't take him down." Another student's eyes were wide open like lightbulbs. "This lad is starting to get the upper hand."
