Chapter 96: Abandon the Sword?

Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Abandon the Sword?"Of course." Ling Chen nodded. "Really?" Li Xiuluo showed an incredulous look in his eyes. A superior Attack Profound Spirit Technique was not easy to master even for them. Previously, Ling Chen had demonstrated a palm technique of a superior Attack Profound Spirit Technique. Now he claimed to have mastered the swordsmanship of a superior Attack Profound Spirit Technique. That was two superior Attack Profound Spirit Techniques. Ling Chen was only in the late stages of the fourth level of the Spirit Sea Realm, yet he had mastered multiple superior Attack Profound Spirit Techniques, which was simply unbelievable! Chen Mo watched Ling Chen take out a Spiritual Weapon, his expression also shocked. Even he planned to wait until he advanced to the seventh level of the Spirit Sea Realm before learning to use a Spiritual Weapon to perform a superior Attack Profound Spirit Technique. If Ling Chen could really perform it, then he wouldn’t be able to handle Ling Chen. "This kid has hidden his abilities so deeply!" The Hall Master looked around the arena, his face showing a hint of astonishment. "Alright, then be careful." Li Xiuluo took a deep breath to calm himself. No matter what, since Ling Chen had achieved twenty-nine consecutive victories and defeated Ye Tian in the late sixth level of the Spirit Sea Realm, he deserved serious consideration. "Just go ahead and do it." Ling Chen spoke lightly. "Alright!" Li Xiuluo no longer hesitated, his body’s fiery red Spiritual Power poured into his long spear, and a fiery red light burst forth. "Shura’s Three Spears – Heaven Shaker!" As his shout fell, a fiery red long spear formed and fiercely stabbed towards Ling Chen. Seeing the razor-sharp Spiritual Power long spear, Ling Chen didn’t dare to be careless. "Wu Kong Swordsmanship’s Wu Kong Shadowless Style!" Ling Chen murmured in his mind, his long sword swaying, slashing out a black Sword Qi! In this strike, he imbued the sincere understanding of his swordsmanship. "Boom!" The Sword Qi collided with the Spiritual Power long spear, a thunderous sound exploding in everyone’s ears. Waves of air surged like a storm. Finally, the Spiritual Power long spear shattered the black Sword Qi, continuing its assault towards Ling Chen. "Shiiit!" Ling Chen held a silver longsword, with a strike splitting the fiery red Spiritual Power spear in half. Despite demonstrating the True Intent of Spirit Art, the disparity in Spiritual Power still put him at a disadvantage. "Did he really perform a Profound Spirit Technique using a Spiritual Weapon?" The audience looked incredulously at the figure on the Battle Platform. Only in the fourth level of the Spirit Sea Realm, yet successfully cultivating a Spiritual Weapon’s Profound Spirit Technique — his talent was simply terrifying. Li Xiuluo was also full of surprise. His Spiritual Power surpassed that of Ling Chen by one level, and both were using low-level Profound Spirit Techniques. By all logic, his strike should have been enough to defeat Ling Chen. However, he did not even manage to push Ling Chen back, only slightly gaining the upper hand. "If your Spiritual Power wasn’t weaker than mine, I might have already been defeated by you!" Li Xiuluo said seriously. "However, my mission is to stop you from becoming the Fighting King, so don’t blame me for using my advantage over you! Shura’s Three Spears – Sky Cleaver!" As his words fell, Li Xiuluo held his spear with both hands, jumped high, and then forcefully struck downward with his spear. "Bang!" With a burst of air, a Spiritual Power long spear shot out from the spear, plunging down ferociously towards Ling Chen. It was a mid-level Profound Spirit Technique! "Formless!" Ling Chen’s right hand suddenly clenched the longsword, the sword tracing upward from below, a black Sword Qi shot out furiously slicing towards the Spiritual Power long spear. He performed a mid-level Profound Spirit Technique simultaneously. Even more uncanny was that as the black Sword Qi flew swiftly, the black color gradually faded, leaving only a barely visible Sword Qi to the naked eye. "Bang!" The Sword Qi collided with the long spear once more. This time, Li Xiuluo similarly had a slight upper hand. But, this advantage was not enough to defeat Ling Chen. "Did Ling Chen actually use a medium grade Profound Spirit Technique?!" Countless faces showed expressions of disbelief. Although it was a medium grade Profound Spirit Technique, it was easier to perform with hands and feet than with a Spiritual Weapon. To use a Spiritual Weapon, the most crucial step is learning to wield it. Only when one can control the Spiritual Weapon as freely as waving one’s own arm, can one further cultivate the medium grade Xuanling Technique. "Ling Chen, your talent is indeed powerful." Li Xiuluo stared at Ling Chen and said coldly, "Now let me see if you truly have mastered the high-grade Xuanling Technique." "Shura’s Three Spears - Heavenly Destruction!" Li Xiuluo stomped his foot, leaped high into the air, and then dove towards Ling Chen. At the same time, Spiritual Power crazily poured into his long spear. "Kill!" Li Xiuluo bellowed angrily. His long spear, like a dragon, fiercely stabbed at Ling Chen. At this moment, Li Xiuluo seemed to merge into one with his long spear. "It’s almost reaching the unity of man and weapon!" The Hall Master’s eyes were filled with shock. The unity of man and weapon is a profound state. Even many cultivators in the Primordial Pill Realm might not be able to master it. Reaching this state, the attack power would double! However, Li Xiuluo was only at the seventh level of the Spirit Sea Realm, yet he was able to cultivate to a state very close to it. His talent cannot be underestimated. Obviously, since it was close, it naturally didn’t possess the power of full unity of man and weapon. "Not good, Ling Chen is in danger!" The Hall Master immediately reacted. At the same time, Spiritual Power crazily surged within him, ready to intervene at any moment. It seemed that Ling Chen had mastered a high-grade swordsmanship Xuanling Technique. However, he also has to guard against whether, in such a crisis, Ling Chen would be able to employ it. At this moment, everyone’s gaze fell on Ling Chen, who was facing Li Xiuluo. Searᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. They wanted to know if Ling Chen could withstand this terrifying strike! "Even I wouldn’t dare be certain about withstanding this spear strike." Chen Mo felt a chill. "Phew!" Ling Chen exhaled lightly, his gaze suddenly becoming sharp, then his right hand gripped the hilt of his longsword tightly, as Spiritual Power frantically poured into the blade, black Sword Qi swirling unstably on the blade. "Wu Kong Swordsmanship’s Wu Kong Style!" Ling Chen shouted explosively. He raised his longsword, and a dazzling sword Qi slashed towards the front. "Dragon Ascending Technique!" Simultaneously, Spiritual Power was poured into his legs, and with a movement, he employed the high-grade Body Technique Xuanling Technique and quickly retreated backward. "Break for me!" Li Xiuluo’s long spear fiercely struck on Ling Chen’s Sword Qi, Spiritual Power burst forth, shattering Ling Chen’s Sword Qi, and then the spear directly stabbed into the original position where Ling Chen stood on the Battle Platform. "What? A high-grade Body Technique Xuanling Technique?" The Hall Master also felt incredulous. Ling Chen not only mastered two high-grade Profound Spirit Techniques but three! And one of them was a high-grade Body Technique Xuanling Technique! Even the ordinary cultivators at the seventh level of the Spirit Sea Realm might not be able to master this. "Did you master the high-grade Body Technique Xuanling Technique?" Li Xiuluo asked incredulously. He had just shattered one of Ling Chen’s high-grade Profound Spirit Technique attacks, but he still couldn’t feel happy about it. If Ling Chen were to use the high-grade Body Technique Xuanling Technique against him, no matter how powerful his attack was, he couldn’t reach Ling Chen at all! "Yes." Ling Chen nodded slightly: "But rest assured, I will not rely on the advantage of the Body Technique Xuanling Technique to fight you!" Saying this, Ling Chen spread the fingers of his right hand. "Clang!" The silver longsword directly fell onto the Battle Platform. "Discarding the sword?" Watching Ling Chen’s inexplicable actions, all the cultivators were stunned.
