Inside the Floating Immortal Ring, the Floating Immortal Sword absorbed Fang Chen's Soul Power. Its radiance grew stronger, and countless stars appeared around it.
As the stars appeared, more Azure Runes broke away from the Floating Immortal Sword.
Clang!
The giant sword embedded in the Island shot skyward, carrying Fang Chen through the clouds and into the air above.
The giant sword now blazed with green light, and a terrifying Sword Intent erupted from it.
Holding the giant sword, Fang Chen felt as though the weapon in his hand was the Floating Immortal Sword.
He swung it hard at a Giant Stone floating before him in the Void.
Hiss!
A flash of Sword Light sliced through the stone, splitting it in two as easily as tofu.
Bzz, bzz, bzz...
The giant sword in Fang Chen's hand began to tremble. At the same time, the Floating Immortal Sword inside the Floating Immortal Ring trembled too, its radiance growing brighter. Then a mighty force surged from the ring into Fang Chen's body.
Fang Chen's spirits soared. He had never expected that striking a stone with this sword, without even drawing the Floating Immortal Sword, would let him absorb so much energy from the Floating Immortal Ring.
"Excellent!"
Fang Chen was thrilled. He had thought he would be unable to use the Floating Immortal Sword after entering the competition space. Yet although he could not draw it, he could still receive energy from the Floating Immortal Ring.
Fang Chen looked at the sword in his hand. He suspected the energy came from the Azure Runes on its surface. Those runes had separated from the Floating Immortal Sword; once they flowed onto this blade, it had effectively gained the Floating Immortal Sword's power.
Thus, whether Fang Chen fought with this sword or used it
