Before that...
While Tang San was still wondering whether to surrender first and end the match, Rui Wen and Feng Xian had already unleashed their strength.
The instant they summoned their martial souls and spirit rings coiled around them, the soul power auras concealed by their special cultivation techniques finally erupted in full.
Rui Wen's martial soul was a broken blade called the Blade of Exile. It was a top-tier martial soul that possessed a special power of rules-rune power-but that power had to be activated later.
Since the Blade of Exile itself was merely a broken blade on the verge of shattering, it was extremely fragile before its rune power was activated. It would practically crumble at a touch and had no offensive power whatsoever.
Thus, even though Rui Wen had awakened a top-tier martial soul with innate full soul power at the age of six, it had still been classified as a wasted martial soul. She was deemed unworthy of cultivation and abandoned.
She later ended up in Heaven Dou City's Slum District, becoming a homeless orphan who never had enough to eat. Her wandering days only ended when Ye Qifeng and Qian Renxue discovered her while out for a stroll.
Later still, with the help of the immortal grade herb Ink Jade Divine Bamboo that Ye Qifeng bestowed upon her, the rune power inherent in her Blade of Exile martial soul was activated.
Once that rune power was activated and Rui Wen quickly mastered it, the Blade of Exile finally developed into a true offensive sword-type tool martial soul with tremendous destructive power.
As long as she channeled soul power into her martial soul, the runes within the Blade of Exile would activate, releasing rune power to charge the blade and transform it into a complete greatsword.
