I glanced at the riddled boulder and saw a hole that had been pierced through it.
Then he looked at Ye Qiubai, whose face was calm, as if everything he had just done was nothing out of the ordinary.
His mouth was slightly open, his pupils were locked, his brows were furrowed, and the word "Chuan" was wrinkled on his forehead.
How did you do that?
Yao Zhun also looked extremely grim.
Ye Qiubai just said that the Cangxuan Sword Technique was no good, but now he not only executed it perfectly, but also improved upon it, making its power significantly stronger than the original first move of the Cangxuan Sword Technique.
It's important to understand that modifying swordsmanship is not simply a matter of injecting more movement and power; it involves breaking away from established techniques and making improvements, which is an extremely difficult task.
If a person doesn't have a deep understanding and high level of skill in Sword Dao, they wouldn't be able to do all of this.
Yao Zhun asked himself inwardly, if he were to do it, he probably wouldn't be able to do what Ye Qiubai did.
Seeing the unpleasant expressions around him, Ye Qiubai had no intention of adding fuel to the fire. Facts speak louder than words; he had done what he needed to do, and the sarcastic remarks had already fallen apart on their own. There was no need to say anything more.
So, just as he was about to return the sword to Yao Zhun...
Ye Qiubai suddenly froze, his body tensed instantly, and he gripped his sword tightly, slashing to the left!
Clang!
A metallic clanging sound suddenly rang out.
It's Xuanyuan Che.
Xuan Xuanyuan Che approached, a calm smile on his face, and said, "I have some different insights into this Cangxuan Sword Technique. They say practice makes perfect, so how about we spar a bit?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiubai knew he couldn't avoid it, so he nodded.
A positive response was received.
Xuanyuan Che a few steps back, and the Sword Intent around him began to rise slowly, with the aura of the Fifth-Level Lightning Tribulation surging out wildly!
Xuanyuan Che at Ye Qiubai and said with a faint smile, "You and my Xuanyuan Clan have a grudge against each other, so I won't abide by any nonsense about martial ethics and suppress my cultivation level to fight you."
"Moreover, your Sword Dao is far superior to mine; suppressing your level will only bring you trouble."
Xuanyuan Che was very clear-headed. Although his talent was better than Xuanyuan Junru's, it was only in his understanding of the Sword Dao Law that he was stronger than Xuanyuan Junru.
To say that it has reached the Sword Dao Rules Realm is still quite a long way off.
How vast is the difference between the Sword Dao Rules Realm and the Sword Dao Law?
Perhaps only sword cultivators would understand.
Hearing Xuanyuan Che's words, Ye Qiubai couldn't help but think more highly of him, while at the same time becoming even more wary of Xuanyuan Che.
It's not that I'm afraid of an enemy who is too powerful, it's that I'm afraid of an enemy who is too clever.
This statement is not without basis.
Ye Qiubai nodded and said, "That's how it should be."
After he finished speaking, the aura of the Second-Level Lightning Tribulation lightning surged out!
Those around were initially surprised that Xuanyuan Che would attack Ye Qiubai at this moment.
When he sensed the difference in their levels of understanding, he gave a disdainful smile.
"It seems this is going to be a one-sided match."
"With a difference of three tribulations of lightning, this is practically a crushing defeat!"
" Xuanyuan Che truly lives up to his reputation as the fourth on the Cangxuan Ranking. He was only at the Fourth-Level Lightning Tribulation before, right? I didn't expect him to break through again this time. He's probably already able to contend with Ji Yang, who's third on the Cangxuan Ranking. I wonder who's stronger when they're at the same level."
"I don't know who's stronger; both are prodigies from top powers. But... I only know that Xuanyuan Che undoubtedly win against this mortal from the barbarian lands."
These words had barely left his lips.
But then, an extremely profound Sword Intent rose up from Ye Qiubai's body.
This Sword Intent is different from the Sword Dao Law; its aura is extremely profound and it also exudes a primal meaning.
The surrounding students were stunned. Their perspectives were limited, and they were still trying to figure out what level this Sword Intent was at.
Yao Zhun exclaimed in shock, " The Power of Rules of Sword Dao?! How is this possible?!"
Exclamations of surprise echoed throughout the entire hall.
It was clearly heard by everyone present.
Sword Dao Rules?
The surrounding trainees' expressions changed from blank stares to pupil contraction, mouths agape, and disbelief slowly creeping onto everyone's faces.
"This person... is he from the Mortal Realm?"
Some people nodded.
"Isn't the Mortal Realm a barbarian land?"
Some people hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"He's only survived the Second-Level Lightning Tribulation, right?"
No one replied to him anymore, because the others had also fallen into deep self-doubt.
Some of them haven't even fully grasped the Sword Dao Law, or even touched upon Sword Dao Law.
Although most of them were not as accomplished as Ye Qiubai.
But... they asked themselves, if they were at Ye Qiubai's level, could they reach the Sword Dao Rules Realm?
The answer is no.
To be able to fully master the Sword Dao Law is already quite an achievement!
Xuanyuan Che, experiencing the Sword Dao Rules Realm, was momentarily lost in thought, then sighed, "Although I already know you've mastered the Sword Dao Rules, experiencing this scene myself still feels somewhat unreal."
"You've mastered the Sword Dao Rules at this level; you're the only one like that throughout history."
"Even the Azure Cloud Sword Master, whom we desire to inherit the legacy, has not reached this level within this realm."
Ye Qiubai stood with his sword in hand. There was no wind around him, but the flow of Sword Dao Rules of Sword Intent swirled around him, causing his white robe to flutter continuously.
So... you're scared?
Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Che nodded with a very serious expression, making no attempt to hide his true thoughts, and said whatever came to mind, "That's right, I'm scared."
"Your talent is too incredible. If it were me, I would never provoke you; instead, I would go to great lengths to befriend you."
Ye Qiubai shrugged and said, "So you don't want the inheritance of the Azure Cloud Sword Master either?"
Xuanyuan Che shook his head and then nodded, saying, "If I get it, then it's naturally mine. If you get it, then I won't compete for it anymore, after all, your talent is too terrifying."
"What's mine is mine, and what belongs to others belongs to them... Of course, there's a premise: if the other person's talent and strength aren't as good as mine, then I won't fight for it; instead, I'll feel a little sorry and then try to befriend them."
In other words, if someone with less talent and strength than him were to inherit the legacy, then they would fight over it.
Ye Qiubai couldn't help but chuckle and said, "You're quite frank."
Xuanyuan Che smiled and said, "What kind of swordsmanship is it if he's not frank?"
"If I try my best to persuade the people of the clan, would you still be willing to befriend the Xuanyuan Clan?"
Ye Qiubai was equally frank, saying, "If that's the case, I won't pursue the Xuanyuan Clan any further, but I also won't befriend Xuanyuan Clan. However, setting aside our differences, I will become your friend."
Those around were taken aback by these words.
Investigating... the Xuanyuan Clan?
Xuanyuan Che showed no doubt about Ye Qiubai's words, only smiling wryly, "I will try my best, but I also want to fight you in this battle, after all, those at the Sword Dao Rules Realm are still rare."
