Supreme Dragon Martial Soul-Chapter 459 - 135: Settling Accounts, Testing with Sword King’s Will!
Chapter 459: Chapter 135: Settling Accounts, Testing with Sword King’s Will!
Upon entering Shangyun Hall, Luo Cheng headed directly to the Practice Field.
Eager to test how much his strength had improved, Luo Cheng drew the Thunder Hidden Sword and slashed at the second Training Post with a single strike. fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm
Ssss!
A sharp thread of Sword Qi pierced straight through, carving a clear sword mark over a finger-deep into the Training Post designed to represent the extreme defense of the Middle Stage of Awakening Vein Realm.
"Hmm, my casual attack now should surpass the strength of a typical Sixth Level Awakening Vein Realm powerhouse in the middle stage!"
Luo Cheng was quite satisfied with the power of this strike.
Keep in mind, this strike did not utilize his Martial Soul or Sword Intent.
It was merely a basic attack.
"Let’s see the full strength!"
Taking a deep breath, Luo Cheng activated his Martial Soul. Sword Intent burst forth in his eyes as his gaze turned electric and sharp, with an aura so cutting it sliced the surrounding air, producing an audible hissing sound. He unleashed a Divine Wind Absolute Kill attack in one fluid motion.
Boom!
A mighty Sword Qi Tornado roared to life.
The tremendous sword pressure caused the entire Practice Field to tremble violently.
The Training Post, thick as a wooden door, was instantly torn apart halfway, its cut smooth and impeccably precise, radiating razor-sharp power!
"It still didn’t penetrate all the way through the Training Post..."
Luo Cheng raised an eyebrow.
Only cutting through half of the Training Post meant he now possessed the strength to contend with Sixth Layer Peak Awakening Vein Realm fighters.
However, achieving victory quickly would prove challenging.
After all, a real enemy wouldn’t just stand there, motionless, waiting for an attack.
Many factors ultimately influence the outcome of a battle.
"Still, not bad – after all, Awakening Vein Realm Sixth Layer warriors double their strength with every minor advancement in their cultivation."
Luo Cheng did not feel discouraged.
A Sixth Layer Peak fighter of the Awakening Vein Realm was already on the brink of entering the Late Stage.
Such strength was significantly greater than that of ordinary Sixth Layer fighters.
"Ah yes, there’s the Xuanlong Technique!"
Luo Cheng recollected the Xuanlong Technique he had just mastered and immediately activated the dragon-shaped Essence Energy Mansion within him.
Boom!
A remarkable surge of Essence Energy radiated outward, causing the surrounding air to ripple as if it were water.
"Slash!"
With a swing of the Thunder Hidden Sword, another Sword Qi Tornado condensed and roared forth, narrowly missing a clean slice through the Training Post’s middle!
"Good! The Xuanlong Technique has nearly doubled my combat power. This strike is enough to severely injure a Sixth Layer Peak Awakening Vein Realm fighter!"
Luo Cheng’s eyes lit up.
Since the Outer Sect Grand Contest where he saw Qi Guyun demonstrate the Seven Secret Techniques that enhanced combat abilities, Luo Cheng had been obsessed.
These kinds of power-boosting secret techniques were invaluable in real combat scenarios!
They could even turn the tide of battle!
Now, he finally possessed his own trump card.
And it was even stronger than the Seven Secret Techniques!
The current Xuanlong Technique was only at its First Level.
It could boost combat power by merely a factor of two.
If cultivated to the Ninth Level, where energy becomes as formidable as a True Dragon’s, it could instantly multiply power ninefold! How terrifying would that be!
"Excellent. Once my cultivation breaks through to the Fourth Layer of Awakening Vein Realm, I can properly settle dealings with Sun Yingyang – and the Ji Family behind him!"
Luo Cheng’s face broke into a cold, unsettling smile, his piercing gaze enough to send chills down one’s spine.
At this point, he already had the confidence to defeat Sun Yingyang.
But defeating was not the same as capturing alive.
He needed to extract from Sun Yingyang precisely who had sought to harm his father in the past!
Sun Yingyang was an experienced middle-stage Awakening Vein Realm fighter and an Elder of the Fierce Cloud Sect – who knows what hidden cards he held?
To be cautious, Luo Cheng decided to postpone any confrontation until his cultivation advanced to the middle stage of Awakening Vein Realm.
Anyway, he was close to a breakthrough.
Ten days at minimum, or one month at most, would certainly see him reaching the Fourth Layer of Awakening Vein Realm.
"Let’s check on my Sword Intent progress!"
Relaxed and composed, Luo Cheng slowly exhaled a turbid breath, re-sheathed his sword, and seated himself meditatively on the training mat, his mind delving inward.
Upon careful perception, Luo Cheng immediately noticed his Sword Intent had become far more refined than before.
The sharp aura burgeoning from within was so pronounced it could be sensed even without conscious effort. He was only one step away from breaking through to Four-tenth Sword Intent – seemingly on the verge at any moment.
"In just a few days, my Sword Intent has improved this much."
Though mentally prepared, Luo Cheng was still somewhat surprised.
Four-tenth Sword Intent was already in the middle stage of the Sword Intent Prototype!
To polish Sword Intent and sharpen its edges required continuous honing with the blade, so reaching the brink of breakthrough this quickly was incredible!
"Ah yes, training at the Washing Body Pond – when I used Sword Intent to sever my own emotions, it was equivalent to clashing against King’s Will."
"With King’s Will as the grindstone for testing Sword Intent, how could my improvement be anything but rapid?"
Understanding the cause, Luo Cheng’s mind promptly immersed itself within his Sea of Consciousness.
Above the golden Sea of Consciousness, waves churned and surged amidst radiant clouds.
The green miniature sword charm left by the elder wielding the Dragon Head Crutch undulated with the waves, radiating mystical light and occasionally emanating mysterious, unfathomable energy.
Elsewhere, a cluster of dark-red brilliance hovered beneath the True Dragon Temple’s illusion – it seemed like a scarlet sun fixed in the void, emitting dazzling radiance and surging with overwhelming force!
"This is the will left behind by a Sword King! It managed to fuse into me. Good thing the True Dragon Temple is mysterious enough to completely suppress it – otherwise, even just a fraction of the Sword King’s Will, no! Half a fraction could annihilate me entirely!"
Luo Cheng, staring at the dark-red brilliance, was reminded of that figure wielding the massive, blade-less sword – a memory that still gave him lingering fear.
A sealed King-level figure possessed strength that approached the heavens and the earth, each one a legendary existence as the sovereign of their territory.
The Great Chu Empress was one such sealed King-level figure!
Luo Cheng directed his mind toward the dark-red radiance.
Boom!
Even before he approached, he felt an immeasurable sharpness rushing to meet him.
It sought to crush him, tear him apart!
In the face of such overwhelming sharpness, Luo Cheng seemed as insignificant as a speck of dust before a volcano!
Despite feeling this imposing force, Luo Cheng showed little fear – instead, he was immensely excited.
This was a Sword King’s Will!
How could he not use it to its fullest!
"With the True Dragon Temple suppressing it, the Sword King’s Will shouldn’t harm me. It’s perfect for tempering my Sword Intent!"
Luo Cheng decided to take the Sword King’s Will as his grindstone and refine the edge of his Sword Intent!
No sooner had the thought arisen than Luo Cheng consolidated his Sword Intent.
Buzz!
As his Sword Intent emerged, the Sword King’s Will seemed provoked, erupting in luminous flares and unleashing an intimidating sharpness.
In an instant, the entire Sea of Consciousness grew chaotic as golden waves surged, while an unsettling aura of slaughter permeated the air, causing Luo Cheng to feel dizzy and disoriented.
"Could it be impossible?"
Luo Cheng felt apprehensive and briefly hesitated, torn between persisting and giving up.
But then...
Buzz!
The Nine-colored Scale emitted divine brilliance, and the True Dragon Temple illusion floating in the Sea of Consciousness trembled lightly, projecting invisible waves of energy.
The Sword King’s Will instantly quieted down, and the turbulent Sea of Consciousness calmed along with it.
"It’s possible!"
Luo Cheng was simultaneously astonished and filled with delight.
With this arrangement, he had undoubtedly discovered a shortcut to refining Sword Intent!
Ask yourself, who else under heaven could use a Sword King’s Will as their grindstone to temper Sword Intent?
None but Luo Cheng!
Thrilled, Luo Cheng made an effort to maintain his composure and calm down. His mind hovered around the Sword King’s Will, trying to find the most suitable distance before beginning to refine his Sword Intent.
Time flew by, and Luo Cheng, consumed by the refinement of his Sword Intent using the Sword King’s Will, became completely engrossed.
