Starfire Rekindled, Bright Moon in the Sky

Chen Xin's eyes were filled with admiration, and for a moment he could hardly contain his emotions.

With a fluctuating aura, a powerful surge of Soul Power immediately spread out.

Sword marks appeared simultaneously on the ground beneath their feet and on the chair behind them.

At that moment, he vaguely found a direction in which he could go further in the future.

Everyone around, including Bibi Dong, looked over in surprise.

Everyone here is a top expert in the world, so they naturally know what's going on with Chen Xin.

As a Peak Douluo, it's impossible for him to lose control of his aura.

This situation must indicate a new breakthrough.

Although it will still be a long time before we take that final step, it is already extremely commendable.

It's important to understand that cultivation beyond the Peak Douluo is not simply about accumulating Soul Power.

At this stage, understanding becomes even more important.

Even with the efficiency of absorbing Soul Power, it might not be possible to advance one level in decades.

Unless you possess the unique advantage of Twin Martial Souls, you can't withstand the increase in Soul Power Level by absorbing Soul Ring.

Otherwise, without understanding, there's almost no chance of making any further progress.

This battle at the Soul Saint level could actually trigger the insights of Peak Douluo; it was truly awe-inspiring.

If Su Cheng weren't still weak in foundation and lacking in cultivation, his true combat strength would be unimaginable.

Qian Renxue stared at the enormous sword shadow before her, a moment of disbelief appearing in her eyes.

This sense of emptiness and desolation is more unsettling than death itself.

But she was no ordinary person after all.

The two figures exchanged a glance and nodded slightly.

Then, wings unfurled on his back, and he soared into the sky, sword in hand.

"Holy Sword, Judgment!"

Golden flames burned fiercely on the longsword, and fire also ignited on her golden wings.

Even though they were in mid-air, the people on the ground felt a burning pain.

The light emanating from her at that moment could rival the brilliance of the sun in the sky.

The intense sense of sacredness almost makes one want to prostrate oneself in worship.

"Purgatory, Judgment!"

On the other side, black flames also ignited, but without much fanfare.

As the dim light flickered, a black curtain of light fell down, merging with the shadows on the ground.

The jet-black Mianfu appeared even more somber, and even his long hair was tinged with a dark color in the shadows.

Her eyes were slightly closed, and her long eyelashes cast long shadows.

His face was full of sternness, cruelty, and ruthlessness.

Qian Renxue's Self-Created Soul Skill: Divine Judgement!

This is clearly not a simple, playful tactic like Feng Xiaotian's.

His Gale Demon Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes was still only at the skill level, and a relatively low-level one at that.

Needless to Su Cheng, even after Feng Xiaotian cultivates to the Soul Saint, he will never use that useless Self-Created Soul Skill again.

Qian Renxue's sword strike was completely different.

It contains an extremely strong personal will.

This is the level that Self-Created Soul Skill should have.

Without this will, the so-called "Self-Created Soul Skill" is nothing but an empty shell, merely a special attack technique.

If the Great Sumeru Hammer of the Clear Sky Sect didn't have Tang Chen's domineering aura, it wouldn't be considered a top-tier Soul Skill.

Although Qian Renxue's Soul Skill was difficult to say was stronger than Su Cheng's sword move "Empty Mountain" in terms of level, her Soul Power Level and the strength of her Martial Soul in her Martial Soul Avatar form were clearly superior to Su Cheng's.

"Boom--"

The next moment, accompanied by a sudden loud bang, the three attacks collided together.

The deafening roar was so loud that it even caused a brief buzzing in the ears of the lower-level Soul Master in the square.

The massive sword shadow shattered into pieces upon impact, and Qian Renxue was also forced back violently, her face pale, and the flames on her sword blade went out.

However, compared to Qian Renxue, Su Cheng suffered much more severe damage from the backlash.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, and a huge pit appeared in the hard jade ground beneath his feet, with cracks spreading outwards.

Before he could adjust his stance, Su Cheng slashed diagonally with his sword.

Sure enough, just as he raised his sword, a golden light streaked across the sky.

Qian Renxue's next attack came in an instant, giving him no chance to catch his breath.

First Soul Skill: Angel Assault.

Su Cheng's Fifth Soul Ring lit up, and his fifth Soul Skill was activated: Reforging the Sharp Edge.

Nourished by the Soul Skill, the slightly disordered meridians in his body began to repair rapidly, and the scattered Sword Dao Domain also began to regain its strength.

On the other side, the other team members in the square also had slight changes in expression when they saw this scene.

The Spirit Hall Academy, in particular, was greatly encouraged.

Xie Yue and Hu Liena exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously.

It's time.

Hu Liena glanced at Shui Bing'er in the distance, her five Soul Ring pulsed continuously, and her body shone with red light.

Xie Yue gripped the Moon Blade, stretched out his arms, and charged towards his younger sister.

At the same time, two golden beams shot out from the scepter in the hand of the support-type Soul Master of the Spirit Hall Academy Team, and quickly merged into Xie Yue and Hu Liena's bodies.

A red light curtain suddenly appeared and spread, and the Martial Soul Fusion Skill reappeared.

This time, their Martial Soul Fusion Skill activated without the slightest delay. With the assistance of their teammates, it was successfully activated in an instant.

Seeing this, Shui Bing'er no longer hesitated and began to use her Martial Soul Fusion Skill along with Xue Wu.

Su Cheng sensed the movement behind him and felt a chill run down his spine.

Time is running out for him.

With a slight thought, the scattered sword energy around him suddenly seemed to come alive, beginning to tremble gently and rapidly intensifying, its aura surging like a tide.

Sword Fourteen, Embers.

Using the residual power of the previous sword strike, this sword technique barely consumed much of his Soul Power, and he easily completed the Reshaping. Moreover, the strength of his aura was not much weaker than before.

The two Qian Renxue exchanged a glance and frowned slightly.

It's that trick again!

She had seen this sword move before.

It was during that same parting Heaven Dou City that she was defeated by Su Cheng's sword.

However, things are different now, and she is not particularly worried at the moment.

With her current strength, this sword style is unlikely to pose much of a threat.

Moreover, she already had experience with this technique; as long as she swept it all away before it was fully formed, she could easily interrupt it.

Thinking of this, Qian Renxue didn't hesitate for a moment.

She dared not delay either; not only Su Cheng, but Qian Renxue also did not want the battle to drag on for too long.

Maintaining this twin-form Martial Soul Avatar consumes an enormous amount of her Soul Power.

If her Seventh Soul Ring hadn't been a 100,000 Year Spirit Ring, she would have been unable to continue after unleashing multiple large-scale Soul Skill and two domains.

Immediately, the flames on the Angel Holy Sword reignited.

With a flick of the blade, it swept towards the scattered remnants of sword energy all around.

However, she was shocked to discover the next moment that although she had indeed stopped a significant amount of sword energy from growing, it was difficult to completely eliminate it. Moreover, the Soul Power she needed to expend in this process far exceeded her expectations.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Su Cheng's pale face.

This sword technique was incomplete at the time, and after so many years, it has achieved Five Elements Perfection. How could it remain unchanged?

Moreover, he also has a Second Martial Soul.

Although there are no Soul Skill attached to the Innate Array Diagram yet, this support-oriented Martial Soul is not entirely useless. Throughout today's battle, it has been silently providing attribute buffs to him.

During the month-long break before the Promotion Tournament began, Su Cheng went to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for cultivation.

Using the abundant ice and fire spiritual energy there, he enhanced this Martial Soul to a certain extent through the method of condensing Soul Ring, but he has not yet condensed Soul Ring.

The reason he doesn't try to condense Soul Ring isn't because of the Soul Ring Limit. He can now improve the quality of his Soul Ring, so that doesn't matter to him.

The key lies in the Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Even now, he has not fully mastered the self- Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

In this situation, if he were to add Soul Ring to his Second Martial Soul, he didn't know if he could maintain the balance between the two Martial Soul and successfully execute the Longevity Sword Array.

Su Cheng stopped looking at Qian Renxue, flicked his longsword, and the Longevity Sword was sent flying.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, it was suspended high in the air.

The sword energies all around immediately vibrated and hummed, swarming in like weary birds returning to their nests.

Enveloped in sword energy, the Longevity Sword transformed into a Bright Moon, giving Qian Renxue a fleeting illusion that made it difficult for her to make a move.

Sword Sixteen, Bright Moon.

People today do not see the moon of old, yet the moon of today once shone on people of old.

This is the sword intent that Su Cheng comprehended from that trace of the Phoenix Core Undying True Intent.

Of course, the battle with Shui Bing'er only gave me a slight understanding, and I am still far from reaching the level I have today.

At that time, he simply absorbed the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone through enlightenment, turning it into a Life Core.

Most importantly, it was the clash with Tang Hao the day before yesterday that truly gave him some insights.

The Longevity Sword, naturally, did not transform into the real Bright Moon.

It simply captures the meaning of the ever-flowing crowds and the eternal Bright Moon.

Looking at the Bright Moon in the sky, Qian Renxue fell silent.

She also felt the power of that sword strike.

Its strength lies not in its power, but in its defense and endurance.

With his remaining Soul Power, he couldn't stop this sword strike, so he could only let it slowly accumulate power.

As time goes by, once this sword technique reaches its peak, she will definitely be unable to withstand it.

But at this moment, she was no longer able to perform another Divine Judgement.

Moreover, even if he could still use it, he probably wouldn't be able to interrupt Su Cheng's sword technique.

But the silence lasted only a few breaths.

A smile returned to Qian Renxue's face, who was dressed in black.

"Amazing, truly amazing."

She stretched out her hands and clapped gently in admiration.

He then added, "But Brother Su Cheng, even so, have you won?"

His words implied a sense of pride.

The figure in white beside him bluntly said, "Teacher, you lost."

Su Cheng sighed softly, a bitter smile on his face.

He is indeed going to lose.

That's why he didn't choose to use this move right away.

The charging time required for this sword strike was far too long.

In a short period of time, its power is absolutely no match for Sword Fifteen.

In this match, what he lacked most was time.

Because this is not a battle he fought alone.

On the other side, unsurprisingly, Shui Bing'er and the others were almost at their breaking point.

This is perfectly normal.

The difference in Soul Power between the two sides was far too obvious.

The Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team only had four Soul Ancestor: Shui Bing'er, Ning Rongrong, Xue Wu, Hu Yanli. On the other hand, the opposing team had three Soul Kings and three Soul Ancestor.

As for the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu have it, but Xie Yue and Hu Liena also have it.

In this situation, how should we fight?

It's impossible to win.

Shui Bing'er has already given it her all.

But this is clearly not a battle situation that can be reversed by strategy or tactics alone.

Su Cheng was also unable to help them.

Two Qian Renxue were right in front of me.

Indeed, she had no way to counter Su Cheng's sword techniques and could only let the Bright Moon slowly gather its strength.

However, preventing Su Cheng from helping his teammates is still a piece of cake.

Moreover, it must be said that the Spirit Hall Academy Team is really strong and has a very stable mentality.

Even when facing a group of Soul Master whose strength was inferior to his own in every aspect, he did not take it lightly at all, and fought steadily and without leaving any flaws.

Shui Bing'er glanced at Su Cheng, a hint of apology flashing in her eyes.

She could tell that Su Cheng had gained a slight advantage at this point.

Even though the strongest and most terrifying player on the opposing team, Qian Renxue, had already been suppressed, their side was powerless to continue delaying.

The teammates' Soul Power had long been depleted.

Even Feng Qingyu, a player who was considered a complete slacker, turned pale and her fingers trembled.

Su Cheng could only shake his head helplessly.

There's nothing I can do, I've done my best.

This was actually expected; he wasn't very confident to begin with, and he certainly wouldn't underestimate Qian Renxue.

And this Spirit Hall Academy Team, personally led by Qian Renxue, did not disappoint, performing completely differently from their performance in the original timeline.
