341 Half-Manifestation

In the sect's main hall, after the initial cheers, everyone began to marvel at Lu Li's terrifying Sword Control speed:

"Unleashing more than five times the speed of sound with just mental focus! What an amazing Sword Control technique!"

"How did they manage to do that without any signs of Internal Breath or true qi?"

Among the guests who were able to befriend the Dragon Gate Sect, there were many insightful individuals, yet not one of them could discern the true nature of "Yuan Magnetic Acceleration."

The mind is inherently formless and intangible, and the "coil" it creates is also colorless and formless, making it difficult to discern anything about it.

Even to Li Yuanzhong's naked eye, all he could see was the "Shadow Painter Sword" being enveloped by a dense mental force, suddenly accelerating.

As for the "Heavenly Eye," it was disturbed by Lu Li's mental focus, and the flying sword in his field of vision became a hazy blue light, which was not as clear as it could be seen with the naked eye.

But no matter which perspective you take, the outcome of the match is immediately clear.

The fragile spine of the "Dragon Follower Sword" was struck at five times the Mach, which is equivalent to an ordinary person being punched in the stomach by Tyson. The sword immediately groaned and cracks spread across its blade.

If Shen Siyang hadn't cheated and used his true energy, Heart Blood, and lotus flower to enhance the "Dragon Follower Sword," it would probably have been broken in two.

Many guests pointed and whispered:

"Even with three full layers of enhancement, they still couldn't defeat him; the gap in skill is simply too vast!"

"This is what they mean by 'there's always someone stronger than you.' Young people shouldn't be too arrogant."

These words, when they reached Shen Siyang's ears, were like a series of resounding slaps.

Although his face remained expressionless, it was already flushed red.

But at the same time, he soared into the air again on his heavily damaged flying sword, seemingly wanting to fight once more!?

An uproar erupted in the arena. "Again? If you keep hitting, your flying sword will break!"

"Completely defeated in both flying sword grade and Sword Control technique... Is that enough?"

Today's situation is a battle of wits, but the physical confrontation has gone a bit too far.

Li Yuanzhong also felt it was time to stop while things were going well, so he planned to step in and end the "sword duel".

But Xia Weiyin grabbed her master and said:

"Shen Siyang is narrow-minded and shameless. We've completely offended him this time. Let's go all the way and break his flying sword to teach him a lesson!"

"There is no major animosity between the two sides; this action is excessive."

Li Yuanzhong was wary of the Governor of the Two Rivers and the Mount Tai Sect, and did not want to escalate the conflict.

However, he was delayed by his apprentice, and in that short time, a dramatic change occurred on the field!

The theme of this battle was "humiliation," so after severely damaging his opponent's flying sword, Lu Li did not pursue the attack relentlessly.

Instead, they remained perfectly composed, patiently awaiting Shen Siyang's flying sword to take flight once more.

"They're so spirited; what other tricks do they have up their sleeve?"

Meeting Shen Siyang's murderous gaze from afar, Lu Li already knew what was going on.

No matter what methods are used, it's just a death throes when faced with a gap in raw power.

Lu Li once again used "Yuan Magnetic Acceleration," and the flying sword shot towards the "Dragon Follower Sword" at a speed of Mach 5.5!

His goal was clear: to sever his opponent's flying sword and dignity in full view of everyone.

Shen Siyang absolutely could not accept this!

This is no longer just a matter of saving face or rallying support.

I am the Azure Dragon, a man destined to rule the world with the dignity of an emperor and awe the four seas!

How could I lose here, to a cripple whose cultivation is inferior to mine?

With this belief in mind, Shen Siyang cheated again.

A golden lotus of wish power bloomed behind his head, then vanished as a speck of light.

Willpower is a spiritual force, and also an energy that Cultivator can draw upon.

Besides magical artifacts and Daoist techniques, it can even activate the most wondrous thing—the mind's perception!

With a dragon's roar, a massive, semi-transparent dragon head appeared instantly, snapping its jaws shut on the "Shadow Painter Sword"!

The dragon's head is blue-green, about the size of a car, and is the standard appearance of Xia Country, majestic and domineering, with an awe-inspiring presence.

The "Shadow Painter Sword" was bitten and immediately subjected to interference from a powerful biomagnetic field.

Lu Li felt as if his flying sword was like a person with a fever of 40 degrees Celsius, unable to function properly.

The scene of the Azure Dragon swallowing the sword immediately drew gasps from countless people:

"The Azure Dragon's Heart Form!? No... it only has one head; it's a temporary manifestation powered by the power of a wish."

"That's incredible! The ability to manifest temporarily means they've found the path forward; Manifestation is only a matter of time!"

"A top-tier dragon-type spirit beast, and it's this big... incredible!"

Shen Siyang was pleased with the crowd's shock. He struggled to suppress the urge to burst into laughter and said loudly:

"Brother's skills are indeed extraordinary; I must get serious now!"

These words were truly shameless, but all the shamelessness was suppressed by the majestic and domineering presence of the Azure Dragon Heart.

Even Li Yuanzhong exclaimed in amazement:

"Given the aura of this mental form, its full power will surely be boundless once it is fully manifested in time! Perfect—let's end this sword duel here to avoid damaging our harmony."

Xia Weijun was very indignant and quickly looked at her young husband, only to find that he remained calm.

At this moment, Lu Li asked, "Sword dueling? Can it be done like this?"

Before anyone could speak, Shen Siyang quickly called out:

"The mental image is the evolution of the mind, which can be applied to the body and flying sword, and can also be considered a method of Sword Control... Watch out~ your brother is about to make his move!"

This thing used its dragon head to imprison the "Shadow Painter Sword," and then controlled its own flying sword to slash at it!

Their shamelessness was so extreme that even Su Qing, who was standing nearby, frowned.

Thinking that her fiancé had used another "Golden Lotus of Wish Power," Su Qing was calculating whether he still had the ability to prepare a sufficient dowry...

At that very moment, Su Qing was startled and instinctively took a half-step back.

With a loud whoosh, another dragon head appeared in the hall!

Its shape is somewhat ethereal, and its size is larger than a bus.

The dragon's mouth snapped shut, biting the Azure Dragon Heart into a biscuit-like crumb!

This was precisely Lu Li's mental image, drawn out by billions of negative wishes on Blue Star, and now it came in handy.

"This... this is so big!"

Su Qing stared in disbelief, her face filled with disbelief.

As a disciple of the Five Peaks Immortal Sect, she had seen more than one Heart Manifestation.

But this one is too exaggerated; its head alone is as big as a building!

The others were speechless with shock upon seeing the giant dragon head! Even Li Yuanzhong was stunned!

In the silence, the "Shadow Painter Sword" slipped out of the dragon's mouth.

It was completely unharmed, and instantly unleashed "Yuan Magnetic Acceleration," directly slashing at the "Dragon Follower Sword."

Long Sui dared not fight back and immediately fled for his life.

However, with its severe injuries still fresh, its speed had even dropped to twice the Mach, and it was overtaken in the blink of an eye.

The tip of the "Shadow Painter Sword" slammed into the opponent's previous wound.

With a loud crack, the "Dragon Follower Sword" burst out with a burst of light, then wailed as it split in two and fell to the ground.

The flying sword is bloodthirsty and warlike; the "Shadow Painter Sword" vibrates excitedly after slaying its opponent.

Lu Li was in sync with him and sensed the exhilaration, which greatly invigorated him.

Even more miraculously, he felt a deeper connection with the Shadow Painter Sword and became even more adept at using it.

Lu Li suddenly understood:

"Flying swords are like human limbs; even if you can control them, you still need to practice a lot to unleash their full power!"

He gently sensed his own flying sword, thinking to himself, "Looks like I'll have to spend more time with you all..."

Training and mastering flying swords is not just about accumulating resources; "companionship" is equally important.

Lu Li manifested his mental form without using any additional methods, and the enormous dragon head dissipated after two or three seconds.

Everyone was then jolted awake, and an uproar erupted!
