Jianxin steadied himself, then suddenly clutched his chest, his face turning deathly pale, before spitting out a mouthful of crimson blood.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he looked at Zhou Qian'er in the distance, his heart churning with turmoil, unable to find peace.
powerful!
Very strong!
This was the first time in all his years of cultivation that he had encountered such a powerful peer, apart from Lin Fan!
He's no match for him!
After a brief silence, Jianxin took a step forward, and the next moment, his aura began to surge wildly!
boom!
Profound Immortal Realm Fourth Layer!
That wasn't all; his aura continued to surge, reaching the critical point of the Profound Immortal Realm Fourth Layer in the blink of an eye.
boom!
Profound Immortal Realm Fifth Layer!
At this moment, Jianxin's aura reached its peak, with countless Sword Intent constantly intertwining around him, creating an extremely awe-inspiring scene.
The reason why Jianxin was able to break through two realms in a row was because he had been suppressing his realm and preventing it from breaking through.
The reason he suppressed his cultivation level was because he wanted to solidify his foundation.
He knew that only with a solid foundation could he go far in the future; if he rushed to make breakthroughs and caused his foundation to become unstable, he was destined not to go far in the future.
If that's the case, how will he catch up with his master?
How can one become like his master?
Therefore, the foundation must not be flawed.
His decision to break through is not a rash one; the main reason is that he believes he is indeed capable of doing so, and that even if he does, it will not destabilize his foundation.
Actually, there's another reason: Zhou Qian'er is putting too much pressure on him. If he doesn't give it his all, he'll probably get a really bad beating.
Jianxin suddenly looked at Zhou Qian'er in the distance with a sharp gaze, and the next moment, he swung his sword at Zhou Qian'er.
A normal sword strike!
Return to One!
The convergence of twelve hundred Sword Qi into Return to One!
This is Jianxin's current limit!
This sword strike shows that he truly gave it his all!
Not holding back at all!
Watching the sword strike from a distance, Zhou Qian'er's eyes filled with solemnity and shock. "What kind of person could create such a sword technique?"
To be honest, she had never seen such outrageous swordsmanship!
This is absolutely incredible!
Zhou Qian'er shook her head slightly, no longer thinking about it, because the sword had already struck.
Zhou Qian'er gripped the sword hilt tightly, a cold light flashing across her longsword. The next moment, the aura of Immortal Saint Realm Sixth Layer emanated from her body.
A terrifying aura instantly filled the entire world.
Below, Xu Hanhan and the other three turned pale, staring at Zhou Qian'er in disbelief.
She is from the Immortal Saint Realm!
Such a young Immortal Saint Realm!
At that moment, the four of them were completely dumbfounded!
This was the first time they had ever seen such a young Immortal Saint Realm!
Immortal Saint Realm!
This can be considered a powerful figure.
A level that some people can never reach in their entire lives!
However, they never expected that there would be such a young Immortal Saint Realm in this world!
This is absolutely outrageous!
At this moment, Zhou Qian'er suddenly thrust out a sword. As soon as the sword was drawn, the space and time in all directions shattered, and the powerful Sword Intent swept up to the heavens!
This was the first time she had drawn her sword on her own initiative!
boom!
The two swords clashed, instantly unleashing a suffocating shockwave that annihilated everything within a radius of millions of miles.
Terrifying!
Fortunately, Su Chen protected Xu Hanhan and the other three; otherwise, they would probably have perished in the shockwave.
The four men were deathly pale, their bodies trembling slightly, and their eyes clearly showed their terror.
The group was quite frightened.
At this moment, Jianxin was thrown away by the powerful residual force. During the flight, his body cracked, and he finally crashed heavily to the ground.
He curled up on the ground, writhing in excruciating pain, his face contorted in agony, clearly suffering terribly.
After a moment, he forced himself to get up from the ground despite the pain, but as soon as he stood up, his legs went weak and he knelt down. Then he felt a burning sensation in his throat and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, mixed with bits of flesh.
Seeing this, Xu Hanhan and the other three quickly came to Jianxin's side.
Liu Mengting asked worriedly, "Senior Brother Jianxin, are you alright?"
The other three also looked worried.
Jianxin shook his head to indicate that he was fine, and then fell silent.
We lost.
He lost.
Another crushing defeat!
He was defeated with a single, casual strike!
Moreover, he sensed that Zhou Qian'er had held back her strength when she drew her sword; otherwise, he would have been dead just now.
At this moment, his former pride was completely shattered!
Zhou Qian'er appeared at this moment. Looking at the seriously injured Jianxin, she said apologetically, "I'm sorry."
Upon hearing this, Jianxin shook his head and said, "Why should you apologize, young lady? You have already shown mercy. I should be thanking you. As for my injuries, it's just that my strength is too weak and my skills are inferior."
Although he was unwilling to accept it, he could afford to lose!
A hint of admiration flashed in Zhou Qian'er's eyes.
In her memory, many prodigies would become angry and ashamed after losing, but Jianxin was the exact opposite, which made her look at Jianxin with higher regard.
At this moment, Su Chen and Aunt Feng suddenly appeared.
Su Chen looked at Jianxin, "Do you understand now what it means to be outmatched and to have more powerful figures?"
Jianxin remained silent, then nodded.
Su Chen smiled slightly and patted Jianxin on the shoulder.
"Hiss!"
Jianxin gasped, cold sweat pouring down his back.
Seeing this, Su Chen was taken aback, then said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I forgot you were injured."
As he spoke, he pointed a finger at Jianxin's brow, and a strong life force instantly surged into Jianxin's body, instantly healing Jianxin injuries.
Zhou Qian'er and Aunt Feng remained calm as they watched this scene unfold.
Su Chen can help people condense their physical bodies and even heal injuries to their souls, so it's reasonable for him to instantly restore someone's health, right?
Jianxin slowly rose and bowed to Su Chen, "Thank you, Master."
Su Chen looked at Jianxin, "How do you feel about being brutally beaten up by someone of your generation?"
Jianxin remained silent for a moment, then said, "I admit, I was indeed a bit arrogant before."
As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Qian'er, "But after being thoroughly beaten up by Miss Zhou, I realized how ridiculous my previous arrogance and conceit were."
Su Chen nodded, then said earnestly, "You have a long road ahead of you. Don't stray from the right path. Always stay true to your original aspirations. Only in this way can you go far in the future."
Stay true to your original intention!
People often drift further and further away from their original aspirations as time goes by and as they experience things in life.
Just like when Jianxin first entered the Sword Sect, he could have directly become a core disciple, but he still chose to go through the disciple assessment just like everyone else.
This is enough to prove that he has a pure and innocent heart.
But if Jianxin could do it all over again, would he still participate in the disciple assessment?
I don't think so.
Because he has indeed become arrogant.
He would only think, "Do those weaklings even deserve to participate in the disciple assessment with me?"
Although he wouldn't say it aloud, that's truly what he thinks deep down.
I was proven wrong! I'll definitely be updating like crazy in a few days!
You guys are the best, I knew you'd forgive me, right?
