Seeing the man opposite him assume his stance, Chen Chuan planted the Snow Monarch Blade into the ground, gripped its hilt, and slowly drew the blade from its sheath.
Threads of pale platinum light rose from his body as well. Yet unlike the blazing aura around his opponent, they clung gently to the surface of his body. This showed that his taming of the Mutated Tissue was deepening.
Once the Snow Monarch Blade was fully drawn, he held it horizontally before him. As the blade turned, it reflected a dazzling streak of light that flashed past the other man's eyes, making him squint.
"Fine blade," the man said. "Young man, what is your name?"
"Chen Chuan," Chen Chuan said.
The man nodded. "Luo Xiao."
With that, he slowly raised his Ring Pommel Blade, gripping it with both hands. His body turned slightly to the side before he suddenly slashed forward! A burst of Spiritual Light erupted from his blade. He had used Spiritual Impact right from the start! Chen Chuan raised one hand and swept it aside. With a boom, he scattered the Spiritual Light directly. But behind that light, a deep-blue figure that seemed condensed from luminous vapor charged forward. It held a long blade wreathed in Spiritual Light Flame and slashed down at him with savage force! This move was vicious and insidious. It came together with the Spiritual Impact, making it exceptionally fast. An ordinary person might hastily evade the Spiritual Impact, yet still find it difficult to fend off the attack that followed, likely suffering an injury at the very outset.
Chen Chuan's reactions far surpassed those of many Fighters at the same level. Moreover, he had felt no pressure at all when countering the Spiritual Impact just now, so he had no intention of dodging.
