"What? The Golden Armor Giant Spirit's chest was shattered by a single strike?"
As the Golden Armor Giant Spirit collapsed, it kicked up a cloud of dust, causing the entire plaza to tremble slightly.
The surrounding disciples all wore expressions of shock, staring at Su Yun in a daze.
Toppling the Golden Armor Giant Spirit with one strike!
What kind of strength was this?
"Hmm?"
"Is that the Perfection stage of the Extreme Shadow Fiend Blade?"
An inner sect disciple who had once practiced the Extreme Shadow Fiend Blade recognized the technique Su Yun had unleashed at a glance.
But what shocked him was that Su Yun had actually cultivated this blade technique to the Perfection stage!
With the terrifying power of eighty percent blade intent, layered with the Perfection stage of the Extreme Shadow Fiend Blade.
Striking out once to topple the Golden Armor Giant Spirit!
It was understandable, after all.
At this moment, an inner sect disciple couldn't help but ask Song Que.
"Junior Brother Song Que, you are more familiar with Junior Brother Su Yun. Do you know how long he has been in our Mystic Blade Sect?"
"How long has he been practicing this blade technique?"
Song Que hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Junior Brother Su Yun joined during this year's autumn recruitment; he is considered part of the second batch of outer sect disciples."
"All things considered, he should have only been practicing for two months."
"I suspect Junior Brother Su Yun must have already mastered this Extreme Shadow Fiend Blade to perfection long ago."
Less than two months to reach perfection in the Extreme Shadow Fiend Blade!
Hearing this, the many inner sect disciples present were shaken to their cores.
This comprehension was simply too terrifying!
At this time, Elder Mu, who was presiding over the inner sect assessment, also remarked with an expression of amazement.
"To have cultivated the Extreme Shadow Fiend Blade, a rather unique technique, to the Perfection stage within two months."
"No wonder he was able to raise his blade intent to such a level!"
Seeing the surrounding inner sect disciples fall into a stunned silence, Song Que couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"Junior Brother Su Yun is truly a monster!"
Clang!!
At this moment, the eleven Golden Armor Giant Spirits on the plaza tightened their grips on their massive golden swords, swinging them at high speed as they charged toward Su Yun!
In an instant, sword radiance surged, and golden light spilled everywhere!
An incredibly powerful sword pressure swept in all directions.
"Spirit Roc Dustless Step!"
Facing the encirclement of the eleven Golden Armor Giant Spirits, Su Yun unleashed the Spirit Roc Dustless Step.
His body shimmered with a purple spiritual light.
As he maneuvered, he moved like an agile purple roc.
Boom!
The attacks from these Golden Armor Giant Spirits almost grazed Su Yun's body, slamming into the plaza and emitting deafening roars.
Even when there were a few attacks he couldn't dodge in time, he easily shattered them with a swing of his blade.
Following this, Su Yun unleashed streaks of blood-colored blade radiance, engaging in a fierce battle with these Golden Armor Giant Spirits.
"Is this a movement technique?"
"Good lad, you really have brought me some surprises."
Elder Mu wore a look of joy as he watched this scene.
"Could this movement technique be the Spirit Roc Dustless Step? It has at least reached the Minor Accomplishment stage!"
Song Que's eyes widened, feeling as if he had seen a ghost.
Su Yun's progress in blade techniques was already shocking enough.
He hadn't expected that Su Yun had also found the time to learn a high-grade human-tier movement technique.
And his mastery was not low at all!
What kind of time management master was this?
"Spirit Roc Dustless Step feels the immense pressure, its spirit stirred and exceptionally excited, frantically excavating its own potential as spiritual light erupts in succession!"
"Spirit Roc Dustless Step has successfully stepped into the realm of Proficiency!"
"Hm? It can do that?"
Su Yun, amidst the slaughter, revealed a look of pleasant surprise.
He could clearly feel that his own speed had increased by a significant margin.
"Spirit Roc Dustless Step requires even greater pressure to continuously excavate potential and improve cultivation efficiency!"
The next moment, this voice echoed in his mind.
Su Yun's expression froze.
He had not expected that Spirit Roc Dustless Step would actually require immense pressure to rapidly improve its realm.
No wonder this movement technique hadn't shown any obvious improvement before.
After all, the enemies he faced were almost all instantly killed by him.
Where would there be any pressure?
Collecting his thoughts, Su Yun hesitated no longer.
Instead of retreating, he advanced, swiftly charging toward the eleven Golden Armor Giant Spirits!
BOOM!!
Su Yun continuously unleashed Spirit Roc Dustless Step, dodging the attacks of the eleven Golden Armor Giant Spirits at close range.
At the same time, that Golden Armor Giant Spirit with the shattered chest had recovered as good as new with the help of the formation's power and had also joined the battle.
Just as Elder Mu had said before, these Golden Armor Giant Spirits were all composed of the formation's power, and each one possessed astonishing defensive capabilities.
Even if their bodies were shattered, they would not perish and could recover very quickly.
Therefore, the goal of the Grade A assessment was only to have Su Yun defeat the twelve Golden Armor Giant Spirits, not to kill them.
As time passed.
One after another, the Golden Armor Giant Spirits had their bodies shattered by Su Yun, yet none of them perished.
After recovering, they charged at Su Yun again and again!
"It seems that even the Golden Armor Giant Spirit Formation of the Grade A assessment cannot do anything to Junior Brother Su Yun."
Seeing this scene, Song Que's expression was one of astonishment.
Previously, he had not expected the outcome to be like this.
"Something is not right."
However, Elder Mu, standing to the side, had discovered the telltale signs.
Judging by Su Yun's strength, if he wanted to defeat the twelve Golden Armor Giant Spirits, he could absolutely do so.
But he was deliberately holding back, allowing those shattered Golden Armor Giant Spirits to continuously recover from their injuries.
Clearly, he had other plans in mind.
A moment later, Elder Mu spoke with a solemn expression.
"Su Yun is using the Golden Armor Giant Spirit Formation to continuously hone his movement technique!"
"And if I am not mistaken, he has already comprehended Spirit Roc Dustless Step to the realm of Proficiency just now!"
His gaze was sharp, noticing that Su Yun was actively approaching the twelve Golden Armor Giant Spirits, dodging attacks time and time again.
Moreover, with every attack he dodged, his speed and agility would increase by a fraction.
Furthermore, behind Su Yun, streaks of purple spiritual light were emerging one after another, continuously solidifying.
This was a sign that Spirit Roc Dustless Step was about to cross into the realm of Mastery!
Once this movement technique crossed into the realm of Mastery, as long as one's own comprehension was strong enough, one could grasp the Spirit Roc True Intent and condense a Spirit Roc Phantom behind oneself.
By then, Su Yun's speed would be able to increase by another huge margin!
"Whew!"
However, just at this moment, the incense burning in the censer had gradually extinguished.
"Elder Mu, the time of one stick of incense has passed."
With the facts before his eyes, Song Que could only bite the bullet and speak up.
"No matter, light another stick of incense!"
Elder Mu said with a solemn expression.
"Ah?"
Song Que was stunned.
"Go, quickly!"
"Furthermore, I shall provide the spirit stones required to activate the formation!"
"Very well."
Song Que nodded and hurriedly lit another stick of incense.
Maintaining the activation of the Golden Armor Giant Spirit Formation also required a certain quantity of spirit stones.
Elder Mu did not hesitate and immediately cast a hand seal.
At the same time, Su Yun, out on the plaza, was still locked in combat with the twelve Golden Armor Giant Spirits.
These twelve immortal Golden Armor Giant Spirits were simply the perfect opponents for practicing the Spirit Roc Dustless Step.
Time flowed by slowly.
One stick of incense later.
"Spirit Roc Dustless Step, frantically excavating your own potential, continuously gaining insights under the pressure of life and death, successfully breaking through to the Great Success realm!"
"Spirit Roc Dustless Step, inspiration erupting under powerful pressure, comprehending the Spirit Roc True Intent, speed increased by fifty percent!"
Almost the instant the voice rang out, a purple Spirit Roc Phantom successfully coalesced behind Su Yun.
Screech!!
At this moment, on the plaza.
A small, exquisite purple roc chirped behind Su Yun, looking quite miraculous.
"The Spirit Roc Dustless Step he is practicing has truly stepped into the Great Success realm!"
"And he actually comprehended the Spirit Roc True Intent so quickly!"
Elder Mu's expression was shaken, filled with astonishment.
Breaking through in the midst of battle!
This is truly a martial arts prodigy born for war!
Next, at Elder Mu's signal.
Song Que lit another stick of incense.
As time passed, Song Que had already lit five sticks of incense.
Yet, Elder Mu still showed no intention of calling a halt.
"Spirit Roc Dustless Step, under the pressure of immense power, successfully excavated all your potential, breaking through to the Perfection realm!"
When the fifth stick of incense was about to burn out, this voice finally rang out in Su Yun's mind.
The next moment, Su Yun, his speed having surged violently, slowly opened his eyes.
He looked at the twelve Golden Armor Giant Spirits before him and took a step forward.
It was merely a single step, yet it stirred up a terrifying sonic boom across the plaza, instantly sweeping in all directions!
Immediately following.
He swung his blade, like a blood-red thunderbolt descending from the heavens, roaring as it surged forward!
Boom!!
In an instant, the twelve Golden Armor Giant Spirits on the plaza were all shattered by a single strike!
