Acquired Realm

Shen Yi took a deep breath.

In his mind, he visualized the Vajra glaring in anger.

In an instant, Blood Essence surged, flowing wildly through his limbs and bones, his tendons and bones resonating, like deafening thunderous Sanskrit.

Li Wudang instantly felt a dignified and vast aura flash across Shen Yi's body.

It was the true meaning of Buddhism...

He had felt the same thing on Fatty Vajra!

But how long had it been? How could Shen Yi possess the same body forging cultivation as Fatty Vajra!

However, before Li Wudang could be astonished and horrified.

He seemed to see a thunderbolt bloom from Shen Yi's blade!

A hurricane condensed, with thunder roaring out.

A blazing white thunderbolt cut through the wind and rain, like a thunderclap from the nine heavens, slashing down from the sky!

At this moment, Shen Yi exerted all his strength!

His muscles bulged like they were carved with knives and axes, his hair flying wildly, as if the god in charge of thunder and justice had descended to the world!

It was the ultimate technique of the Sixfold Wind-Thunder Slash.

Wind Slash Thunderclap!

Li Wudang's pupils shook violently, his vision seeming to be filled with that dazzling thunder! He couldn't help but admire inwardly:

"What a blade!"

Unfortunately, such a blade technique.

Came too early!

Li Wudang turned offense into defense, the Embroidered Spring Blade solidified, and a monstrous fighting spirit spread across the blade, as if transforming into an indestructible iron gate!

Let the thunder be mighty!

I will stand firm!

Clang!

The blade energies collided, emitting a roar that echoed through the night, and the two figures flew backward in unison.

This was since the exchange began.

Shen Yi had repelled Li Wudang for the first time!

It was also the first time he had gained a moment of respite!

Shen Yi silently recited in his heart.

He would pour all six years of secluded cultivation into the Nameless Heart Sutra, he wanted to break through to the Acquired Realm in one fell swoop!

[You continue to cultivate the Nameless Heart Sutra with diligence, following the concept of circulating energy through the body, step by step opening up meridians, constructing cycles, and solidifying the foundation of the Acquired Realm.]

[After two years of secluded cultivation, your internal energy accumulation gradually deepens, as still as a lake, as deep as a pool, moving like surging waves, ready to burst forth, approaching perfection.]

[After four years of secluded cultivation, your internal energy is as vast as a torrent, wherever it passes, all blockages in the meridians are destroyed, and your Nameless Heart Sutra successfully enters the realm of perfection.]

[Your cultivation enters the Acquired Realm.]

[After six years of secluded cultivation, you have completely consolidated the Acquired Realm, and further polished the Nameless Heart Sutra, combining the mysteries of various cultivation methods along the way, attempting to deduce it to a higher level.]

[You vaguely see that threshold, the Ren and Du meridians connecting, the Acquired reverting to the Innate, but that threshold is like a chasm, with no way to go, you are building a cart behind closed doors, thinking hard, but ultimately to no avail.]

Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, his aptitude was not as bad as he had imagined, he had finally reached the Acquired Realm!

In an instant.

Shen Yi's flying figure spun in the air and landed steadily.

A majestic aura suddenly rose, vast and ethereal, like the tide of a river from far to near, its power rising higher and higher!

At this time, Li Wudang had already stepped on the ground.

And pounced again.

In his judgment.

Shen Yi's blade just now must have consumed a lot of energy, it was the time when he was weak, and it was the time for him to strike and take his life.

However, unexpectedly.

While the other man was still in mid-air, Shen Yi, in contrast, erupted with an even more terrifying aura, seemingly no less powerful than his own?

But how was that possible?!

Could it be that in such a short time, Shen Yi had actually broken through to become a first-rate martial artist, his skill reaching the Acquired Realm perfection?!

In an instant, a moment of hesitation appeared in Li Wudang's ever-confident heart.

Shen Yi keenly sensed this change.

Immediately, he chuckled and said:

"What's wrong?"

"Can Trial Commander Li only rely on his imposing manner to suppress others?"

Shen Yi stroked Cold Night with his palm, raised his Embroidered Spring Blade to meet Li Wudang's leap, and shouted wildly:

"Fight me again!"

Clang!

The blades collided violently in a small space, and two similar yet distinct bursts of energy emitted crackling sounds!

This time, they were evenly matched!

The fighting spirit in Shen Yi's eyes grew even stronger, like an angry Vajra, roaring loudly, his arm swelling like a hill in an instant!

Boom!

Li Wudang was sent flying by a single slash!

Like a huge rock, he fell diagonally, crashing heavily into the ground, smashing out a huge pit.

At this time, another Black Cloaks Centurion caught up with the two, rushing to the scene.

Then, he witnessed the shocking scene of Li Wudang being sent flying by a single slash, and the Black Cloaks froze on the spot.

What was going on?

Even though Shen Yi had great potential and was ranked Eighty-Eight on the Qilin Rankings.

He was still a genuine first-rate martial artist.

How could he send Li Wudang flying with one slash?

Li Wudang was an Acquired Realm expert, a Dong Commandery Pacification Office prodigy ranked Sixty-Seven on the Qilin Rankings!

However.

No matter how hard the Black Cloaks rubbed his eyes, or how incredible he found it in his heart, he couldn't change the reality before him...

Shen Yi and Li Wudang.

The situation of offense and defense had reversed!

Shen Yi was like a thunder god descending upon the world.

With each slash of his blade, wind and thunder stirred, chasing after Li Wudang and slashing wildly.

Li Wudang hurriedly swung his blade to block.

The shadows of their blades intertwined, their exchanges as fast as the wind, but the Black Cloaks could still see that Li Wudang's decline had already appeared, retreating steadily.

He tried to intervene and help!

But the battle between two Acquired Realm Qilin prodigies was beyond the reach of an ordinary first-rate martial artist like him.

Bang!

Li Wudang was once again sent flying by Shen Yi's internally and externally cultivated true power, crashing heavily into a towering tree.

The immense force caused the tree trunk to crack, snapping it in two on the spot.

Li Wudang groaned.

Blood slowly seeped from the corner of his mouth.

He was completely suppressed by Shen Yi's fighting spirit.

His confidence was also destroyed by Shen Yi's even stronger and more unwavering belief.

At this critical moment.

Li Wudang's thoughts drifted away for some reason.

He recalled the scene when he was selected to go to the capital's main office for exchange.

Li Wudang was selected as a leader of the Dong Commandery Pacification Office. At that time, he was full of confidence, believing that he could compete with the younger generation of the world's great sects.

However, in the capital's main office.

He saw what true genius was.

The same techniques, the same realm, but when facing those true geniuses, he always lost his spirit out of nowhere, shrinking back before the battle even began.

Li Wudang's three days of exchange in the main office.

Four battles, all lost.

What truly filled him with despair was the sight of that silver spear in hand, the towering figure on horseback with a red cloak billowing behind him.

From that moment on, he returned to Dong Commandery, a shadow of his former self.

Never to set foot in the capital again.

In a daze, Shen Yi leaped into the air, his flamboyant figure transforming into that red silhouette from the capital.

Resolute, indifferent.

Possessing the qualities of invincibility.

The gleaming blade emerged, like a thunderbolt descending from the heavens.

A vertical slash.

Clang!

Li Wudang's hair was severed, and a deep, bone-revealing gash appeared on his chest.

Shen Yi swung his blade, intent on finishing him!

"Shen Yi!"

"Qin Jianghe is in my hands!"

Shen Yi's eyes narrowed, but the momentum of his blade did not falter!

Li Wudang, disheveled and appearing deranged, reached behind his back with his left hand, drawing a broken blade to meet the attack!

That blade!

It was none other than the treasured weapon of the Broken Blade Hall!

Moreover, it was the saber that Qin Jianghe never left his side!

Boom!
