This Sword Was Fast!

Zhang Yang unleashed a burst of Sword Qi, piercing into the Sword Domain formed by Sheng Jingcheng.

Originally, the Sword Domain of Sheng Jingcheng was a continuous cycle of yin and yang. The entire Sword Domain was like this, and with the existence of Sword Intent, not to mention anything else, even the Laws of Heaven and Earth entering the Sword Domain would probably be cut into fragments or assimilated by the Sword Intent.

However, Zhang Yang's Sword Qi was remarkably similar to Sheng Jingcheng's Sword Intent.

It is also a cycle of yin and yang, a continuous process!

Sheng Jingcheng's Sword Intent was diminishing and assimilating Zhang Yang's Sword Qi, while Zhang Yang's Sword Qi was also diminishing and assimilating Sheng Jingcheng's Sword Intent.

Then, the Sword Qi traveled through the Sword Domain of Sheng Jingcheng, flying towards Sheng Jingcheng. In the blink of an eye, the Sword Qi reached Sheng Jingcheng's face and then stopped.

It wasn't Sheng Jingcheng who blocked it, nor was it Zhang Yang who voluntarily stopped his Sword Qi; it was Azure Cloud Master stopped it.

Both sides were going all out, and neither could control their special moves.

It was only because of Azure Cloud Master's presence that both sides dared to attack so recklessly.

The few prodigies watching were dumbfounded.

They couldn't understand why Zhang Yang's Sword Qi was so powerful.

Furthermore, the speed of that Sword Qi was simply too fast, so fast that Sheng Jingcheng didn't even have time to block it.

In fact, even many Azure Cloud Sect disciples couldn't understand it at all.

Only Xu Qing had a sliver of understanding.

His Quick Sword stems from the fact that everything in the world has its own trajectory; by following that trajectory, the sword can be swift beyond measure!

The falling of a leaf has its own trajectory, the falling of a raindrop has its own trajectory, the blowing of a gust of wind has its own trajectory... This is the Tao!

And his Quick Sword follows these very paths!

Although Sheng Jingcheng used Sword Domain, his Sword Intent also "traveled" through the world, and there must have been a trajectory to it.

In Xu Qing's eyes, the Sword Qi that his Eldest Senior Brother had just unleashed had followed the trajectory of Sheng Jingcheng's Sword Qi and arrived in front of Sheng Jingcheng.

If Sheng Jingcheng's Sword Intent can strike Zhang Yang, then Zhang Yang's sword, following the same trajectory, will surely strike Sheng Jingcheng as well!

That's why that sword strike was so incredibly fast.

Although Xu Qing understood his Eldest Senior Brother's sword strike, he couldn't do it himself.

Because he was unable to break through Sheng Jingcheng's Sword Intent.

If he were to draw his sword, it would be sliced apart by the Sword Intent of the Sword Domain before it even reached Sheng Jingcheng.

Xu Qing felt that she had to be faster!

If one can be fast enough to detect the trajectory of the sword before Sheng Jingcheng's Sword Intent even appears, then his sword strike at that moment will truly be the fastest of all!

Xu Qing is pursuing his own supreme Sword Dao!

Sheng Jingcheng, having also realized what was happening, looked at Zhang Yang with a complex expression and said, "I admire you!"

He had already understood the principle behind Zhang Yang's sword strike, after all, the Sword Qi was flowing through his Sword Domain.

However, he couldn't do it, because that wasn't his Sword Dao.

However, he couldn't help but admire the Dao Intent contained in Zhang Yang's sword strike.

In a life-or-death duel, this sword strike would likely leave many people no time to react, and the consequences would naturally be terrifying.

"I lost!" Sheng Jingcheng shook his head helplessly, took out a jade Morning Dew, imprinted his two Sword Intent, Evening Glow, into the jade slip, and handed it to Zhang Yang.

Since Zhang Yang has already learned all of his Yin-Yang Sword Intent, he won't lose out even if he leaves behind two strands of Sword Intent.

On the contrary, if Zhang Yang's sword strike were recorded, perhaps someone in the Sacred Spirit Church would be able to comprehend this Dao Intent and create a Quick Sword!

What he didn't expect was that Xu Qing was already doing this.

Coincidentally, Xu Qing was a genius disciple sent by the Sacred Spirit Church...

Zhang Yang smiled, looked at the other prodigies, and asked, "Continue? Or wait a few days before fighting?"

The competition between the two sides was not about the amount of cultivation they possessed, but rather about their understanding of the Great Dao and the manifestation of its Dao Rhyme.

Therefore, it does not require much effort.

The other prodigies exchanged glances, discussed the Divine Sense amongst themselves, and then all shook their heads.

If they were to make their move now, Zhang Yang could indeed unleash other unique techniques, and they might even be able to defeat Zhang Yang through a series of attrition attacks.

However, this was not their goal.

They competed with each other not only to see Zhang Yang's hidden strengths, but also to promote their own enlightenment through the competition.

Especially with Azure Cloud Master watching over them, and neither of them likely to die, such an opportunity is extremely rare.

Zhang Yang has already made two moves, so his mental state must be somewhat depleted.

If they cannot demonstrate the pinnacle of Dao Intent, even if they win, it is equivalent to losing.

This is not what they want.

Since that's the case, we might as well save it for a few days before playing it.

Since they'll be staying at the Azure Cloud Sect for quite some time anyway, they'll have plenty of time to spar.

Zhang Yang didn't press the matter, and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, then I'll explain the details of having you as sparring partners next."

There are seven or eight of you. I will divide the Azure Cloud Sect disciples into several camps, and you will take turns serving as sparring partners for one of the camps each day.

The sparring will be conducted in the form of a battle; you will need to use your full strength, Azure Cloud Sect disciples will also use their full strength.

One hour of training each day, after which you can arrange your own time.

There are still a few of you who haven't sparred with me yet, so I will spar with those of you I haven't sparred with every five days.

"One month from now, you will all be able to leave the Azure Cloud Sect."

On the one hand, these are all geniuses from their respective sects, and if they are delayed for too long, other sects might have something to say about them; on the other hand, if this group stays in the Azure Cloud Sect for too long... they will find out more of the Azure Cloud Sect's secrets.

A month is just right!

The group of prodigies exchanged glances; they could accept these conditions.

Subsequently, Zhang Yang divided the more than 500 Azure Cloud Sect disciples into eight groups.

While Zhang Yang was assigning disciples, Zhou Lin, Ling Xu, and others around him were silently comparing the list with their own mental lists.

Oh, this disciple is from our One-Guard Monastery. He's Nascent Soul Realm. Not bad, not bad!

Oh, this one is from our Myriad Spirits Sect. He's full of spiritual energy and looks like he has a bright future!

Xu Qing? Isn't that kid from our Sacred Spirit Church? We already gave him a heads-up last time; we need to have a good talk with him this time...

Several prodigies wore mysterious smiles on their faces.

They felt they had to be extra careful during training because there were some of their own geniuses among the trainees!

Soon, after the more than 500 disciples were divided into groups, Zhang Yang signaled to a few people that they could begin sparring.

Subsequently, the several prodigies each used their most proficient methods to attack the Azure Cloud Sect disciples.

As for communicating with those undercover agents, take it slow, there's no rush.

They planned to demonstrate their abilities first before trying to communicate with the disciples, which would greatly increase their chances of success.

Zhang Yang, meanwhile, took the two jade slips and returned to Azure Cloud Peak.

After the contents of these two jade slips were marked, they were placed in the Scripture Repository to enhance the foundation of the Azure Cloud Sect.
