Putting aside the two students' astonishment, Duolun, who was in the midst of battle, was even more astonished.
It was because he realized that no matter how much more powerful his attacks were or how much he went all out, his attacks would be easily neutralized by Fang Xingjian.
No matter how fast and ferocious his sword moves were, Fang Xingjian would always find their flaws. He would not even be able to unleash a single decent attack before his attacks would be neutralized by Fang Xingjian's attacks. He had no choice but to quickly retreat to defend.
No matter how ferocious or how many thunderbolts there were, it was as if Fang Xingjian was taking a leisurely stroll, casually guiding the thunderbolts into the ground. Duolun was almost unharmed.
Of course, Duolun did not know that Fang Xingjian was currently wearing the level 29 Heavenly Abyss Annihilation Armor. Even if the thunderbolts really struck him, he would be fine.
Moreover, right now, Fang Xingjian's Unparalleled Sword Intent — Apex combined with Darkness Sword Sense gave him a great advantage against a swordsman of the same level.
In the image of Heaven's Perception constructed in his brain, Duolun's entire body was covered in countless flickering starlight. The brighter the starlight, the greater the flaws. These starlights seemed to disappear in an instant. Sometimes, they would be extremely bright one moment before turning dim the next.
However, this was enough for Fang Xingjian. It was because his sword arts were fast enough that he was able to easily neutralize the flaws in Duolun's moves. After Duolun attacked, he would only be able to unleash 30% of his powers before he would be forced to change his moves and clash head-on with Fang Xingjian, who was attacking at full power.
Therefore, even though Duolun's physical strength was clearly stronger than Fang Xingjian's, he was still forced to retreat.
Unless he could completely ignore the sharpness of Fang Xingjian's longsword and unleash the ability to kill an experienced master with random punches, he would have no choice but to retreat time and time again when faced with Fang Xingjian's level 19 longsword, which was surrounded by layers of electric dragons.
As for the thunderbolts that were summoned from void space, countless ripples appeared in Fang Xingjian's eyes. The energies that were converted from ether particles were like leaves falling onto a pond, creating ripples in the air.
The center of each ripple was the weakest point of the lightning power. As long as Fang Xingjian followed the changes in the ripples, he would be able to easily move through the lightning.
Unparalleled Sword Intent – Apex in addition to Darkness Sword Sense... These two specialties, which allowed one to understand sword moves and ether particles, as well as at the same time break through sword moves and ether particles, were combined together. This was the first time Fang Xingjian had used them in battle, and they had produced an astonishing effect.
They allowed Fang Xingjian to rapidly understand the changes in the human body's sword movements, as well as the process of ether particles flowing and exchanging energy. He could also instantly find the flaws and weak points. Then, through the conversion of information through Heaven's Perception, they would clearly appear in the image constructed in his brain.
The last thing he needed to do was to follow this feeling and judgment to easily break through his opponent's moves.
The two of them fought faster and faster, performing the Thunderbolt Sword Technique at the same time. The entire hall seemed to have turned into a thunderstorm.
Duolun and Fang Xingjian, who were using the same set of sword techniques, were fighting with all their might to seize control over the lightning.
At the start, Duolun was able to control over 70% of the lightning and had an absolute advantage, causing Fang Xingjian to only be able to defend passively.
However, as Fang Xingjian broke through Duolun's moves time and time again, slowly breaking down the lightning around him, the ratio of control kept on changing.
Duolun's absolute advantage of 70% also became 65%, 60%, 55%, 50%...
When the ratio of control over the lightning dropped rapidly like a waterfall, the sweat on Duolun's forehead increased. When he only had 20% of control over the lightning, almost all the lightning in the hall was blasting toward Duolun unceasingly.
The ground trembled continuously, and many large pits were blasted by the lightning strikes. It was as if Duolun was trapped in a cage of lightning, with countless bolts of lightning striking toward him one after another, almost causing him to be exhausted from running for his life.
Finally, with a loud boom, he was no longer able to channel the power of the lightning into the ground. He was sent flying out from the explosion, smashing through the walls of the hall.
"Ahhh!"
Letting out a loud bellow, the Reduced Force Field on Duolun's body burst forth, sending all the rocks on his body flying. However, he still seemed to have turned into a refugee, covered in stone powder and dust from head to toe.
He wanted to walk back to the hall, but he discovered that when he exerted a little force in his legs, an intense numbing sensation came over him. He could not move at all. He had been paralyzed by the electricity.
'To think that I've lost to someone who has just picked up the Thunderbolt Sword Technique?'
A strong sense of shame welled up in Duolun's head.
Just then, the sound of shattering stone rang out again. Duolun lifted his head and saw Fang Xingjian slowly walking out from the hole he had created. He saw the myriad of electric snakes surrounding Fang Xingjian, piercing through the air and slithering around as if they were alive.
Then, when the electric snakes heated up the air, releasing crackling sounds, his pupils contracted completely.
Any one of these electric snakes had the prowess of a howitzer. Looking at the myriad of electric snakes slithering around him, Duolun felt his hair stand up. He suppressed his voice and said, "Your Thunderbolt Sword Technique has reached level 12?"
This was an effect he could only achieve at level 12. Moreover, the electric snakes he could create were not as many as Fang Xingjian's, who was more agile.
Fang Xingjian nodded, "It's all thanks to your help. As expected, if I want to improve my sword arts, sparring with experts is the most effective way."
"Still going?"
Looking at Fang Xingjian's calm expression, Duolun suddenly felt a chill in his heart. What was there to continue? Fang Xingjian's level 10 Thunderbolt Sword Technique was already enough to kill him, let alone now that he was at level 12.
When he saw that the other two students had followed him out as well, this feeling became even more intense. Feelings of shame kept on surging up, and Duolun did not say a single word and just left at lightning speed.
There was only one thought that kept on surging up in his mind. Fang Xingjian had been able to defeat his years of hard work with just one hour of learning. With a Conferred Knight like this in the field of sword arts, was there really a need for him to continue learning sword arts?
At this moment, Duolun even had the thought of giving up on sword arts and switching to something else.
What he did not know was that as Fang Xingjian continued to grow, more and more people would have their confidence in learning sword arts crushed like him.
Looking at the departing Duolun, Fang Xingjian tilted his neck and said, "This … should be considered my win, right?"
The other two students looked at each other, unable to say a word.
Rota chuckled and said, "You've even chased the teacher in charge of this stage away. Of course you've passed."
Fang Xingjian shook his head and said, "Then let's go to the next stage."
Rota chuckled as she followed behind Fang Xingjian. This man with outstanding talent seemed to be able to bring her different surprises each time they met. He was like a treasure trove that kept on multiplying, and each time it was opened, there would be endless mysteries and halos.
One of the students immediately shouted, "You … You haven't passed the stage! You can't go in!"
Rota's brows twitched, turned around, and said, "I'm not a sword practitioner. Even if I go in, I won't be learning your Killing techniques. Moreover, don't you guys want to see which stage Fang Xingjian will be able to reach today?"
The two students were stunned for a moment. After Fang Xingjian and Rota had walked far away, obvious hesitation appeared on their faces.
"There doesn't seem to be any meaning for us to stay here, right?"
"Even Brother Duolun has left. What's the difference between training here and training in other places?"
"Let's go take a look?"
"Let's go take a look. At the same time, we can remind our seniors in the next stage that this guy is too strange. "
