He was waiting!
Waiting for the day where water flowed when a channel was formed!
Being tortured for so long, an elementary form already gradually formed in Ye Yuan's mind.
One day, during the second year, Ye Yuan sat down in the second level again and slowly pulled out a sword.
Chapter 1387 - He Flew Over!
"Sure enough, it's here again!"
Seeing Ye Yuan pull the sword on the light screen, Zhao Qin revealed a look that said it was as expected.
While those students on the Sword Tomb's second level were all struck senseless at this time.
"What's going on? Why did those Sword Dao laws all cease activities?"
"Is there a mistake? Could it be that the Sword Tomb's second level broke?"
"Come on, when I was cultivating to the critical point, it was suddenly gone. Don't play like this!"
...
Those violent Sword Dao laws in the Sword Tomb's second level became incomparably docile at this time.
The students currently cultivating lost their opponents all of a sudden. This put them at a loss.
Zhao Qin's expression turned fearful, hastily rushing into the Sword Tomb's second level like an arrow.
"The second level's students listen up! Hurry up and evacuate! Otherwise, bear the consequences yourself!" Zhao Qin shouted at the top of his voice.
The last time, Teacher Fan went into and witnessed the might of ten thousand swords launching in unison.
This second level's power would only be more terrifying.
Once these students set off these swords, the consequences would be too ghastly to imagine.
Those second level's students were mostly outer-court disciples.
Hearing Zhao Qin's yell, they did not dare to dawdle, hurriedly withdrawing out.
"What's wrong, Senior Apprentice Brother Zhao? What in the world happened?"
After the group of students withdrew out, they immediately surrounded Zhao Qin.
Zhao Qin's face fell, and he said in a cold voice, "Don't ask so much! Today, this second level is closed! Everyone is forbidden from entering inside, I'll go and invite Teacher Fan right away!"
Teacher Fan rushed over once more after getting the news. Zhao Qin asked, "Teacher Fan, how … to handle this?"
Teacher Fan was already not as shocked as the first time. He could ascertain that Ye Yuan comprehended something in the Sword Tomb.
Teacher Fan thought about it and said, "Forget it, let him be! Seal off the second level for the time being. Others are not to enter. After Ye Yuan comes out, then let people go in."
"Yes, Teacher Fan!"
No one would have expected that this closure was a year plus!
"Qin Shao broke through! He passed the fourth level"
"My God, this Qin Shao's cultivation speed is also too terrifying. This rate of progress doesn't pale in comparison to the Qin Tian back then in the least!"
"Qin Shao's talent is still quite a bit worse than Qin Tian's. But his three years of hard work goes even further beyond than Qin Tian."
...
Right on the eve of the three years agreement, Qin Shao, who had always been risking his life and cultivating, finally cleared the Sword Tomb's fourth level!
The fourth level was a dividing chasm, because the fifth level's Sword Dao laws were all Sword Dao second-layered heaven, which was also the power of laws corresponding to Heaven Glimpse Realm.
Qin Shao making it past the fourth level indicated that his Sword Dao laws already completely surpassed Sword Dao first-layered heaven!
With his grand completion Grotto Profound Realm plus the power of laws of grand completion Sword Dao first-layered heaven, saying that he swept across those in the same rank was not in the least an exaggeration.
So when Qin Shao walked out of the Sword Tomb, a stir aroused once more.
"Qin Shao he … is already half-step Heaven Glimpse! This … What's there to compete still?"
"Yeah, this life and death battle, Ye Yuan will die without a doubt!"
"Qin Shao is well-deserving of being this season's top dog. Just five years' time and he already touched the threshold of Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm!"
The disparity between each major realm of Divine Dao was too great. For martial artists to want to cross in one step, it was as hard as ascending to heaven.
Once grand completion realm martial artists produced a trace of enlightenment, it would make the realm loosen up once more, the divine sea expand again, reaching half-step Heaven Glimpse Realm from there.
Of course, there were also people who borrowed this trace of enlightenment to ascend to the heavens in one step, directly breaking through a major realm.
But these people were rare.
In these three years, Qin Shao bitterly cultivated Sword Dao and finally produced a trace of understanding, striding out this crucial step.
...
The three years agreement was arriving in a flash. On this day, Wu Meng Academy's martial arena was booming with popularity.
On the corridors of the grandstand, it was packed full of people, virtually tightly packed until not even water could seep through.
These two people were the most eye-catching two people among the new season's students.
One was a peerless genius personally conferred the Golden Sword Token by City Lord, His Excellency, becoming an in-name disciple.
While the other was the man of the hour who slew the Qin Family's lineal descent daughter and could still be safe and sound.
Qin Shao's might, everyone was clear.
But up till now, no one had seen Ye Yuan make a move before yet.
How his strength was, nobody knew.
"Who do you guys think will live or die in this fight?"
"Is there still a need to say? Qin Shao's strength is top-notch among peers to begin with. These three years, his strength improved greatly again. This battle, Ye Yuan is dead for sure."
"But Ye Yuan isn't a fool either. Since he agreed, could it be that he has confidence?"
"Heh, what confidence can there be? I feel that he's too confident, thinking that he can defy the heavens. I heard that he still hasn't broken through to late-stage Grotto Profound yet. But Qin Shao is already half-step Heaven Glimpse. Could it be that there's still any suspense to this fight?"
...
Many people were all guessing the outcome of this life and death battle. But the vast majority of the people were pessimistic about Ye Yuan.
Quite a number of people all went to the Sword Tomb's second level to take a look before, Ye Yuan's realm still stopped at middle-stage Grotto Profound.
Even if Ye Yuan's trump card was any more heaven-defying, it was also impossible for a middle-stage Grotto Profound to defeat the half-step Heaven Glimpse Qin Shao!
Let alone that Qin Shao's Sword Dao laws were already grand completion first-layered heaven!
At this time, several figures slowly walked out on the grandstand. One look and everyone knew they were extremely powerful people.
"It's the Qin Family's Family Head, Qin Nantian! Didn't expect that he actually came in person!"
"Heh, Ye Yuan killed his daughter, he's here to personally watch Ye Yuan be killed!"
But to Qin Nantian's side was the Chi Fang whom he had exchanged blows before.
Several Origin Deity Realm teachers in the academy all appeared on the grandstand.
"Chi Fang, you're also here to watch how Ye Yuan dies?" When Qin Nantian saw Chi Fang, he could not resist poking fun.
Chi Fang laughed when he heard that and said, "Qin Shao is really confident! How do you know that the one who dies isn't Qin Shao?"
Qin Nantian laughed loudly and said, "Within Grotto Profound Realm, is there still someone capable of winning Qin Shao? If I believe this, do you, Chi Fang, believe it?"
Chi Fang gave a cold snort and stopped talking.
He very much wanted to say he did not believe it, but he really could not say it.
Chi Fang was really unable to understand why Ye Yuan would agree to such an unfair life and death battle.
Could it be that this brat was really tired of living?
He already confirmed that Ye Yuan did not break through to late-stage Grotto Profound.
This battle had no suspense at all!
Qin Nantian smiled coldly and said, "The hour is almost arriving. That punk keeps failing to show up. I'm afraid … he fled in the face of danger, right? Elder Tong, you're this match's judge, you'll have to judge him as losing! Your Law Enforcement Hall shouldn't be biased, right?"
Elder Tong's name was Tong Shou. He was one of the key people at the Law Enforcement Hall.
This life and death battle today was managed by him.
According to the rules, once the hour had arrived and one party of the life and death battle did not arrive, it was regarded as automatically admitting defeat.
Their Law Enforcement Hall must carry out the death penalty on the losing party!
Tong Shou looked at the time and said, "There are still 7 and a half minutes. If Ye Yuan still doesn't come, it will be regarded as automatically admitting defeat!"
Right at this time, a wave of commotion occurred in the crowd.
"Look, what's that? My God, Ye Yuan he … he actually flew over! My … My eyes are failing, right?"
Chapter 1388 - Sundering Stars!
The crowd was seething!
A small black dot in the horizon was rapidly closing in on this side. Who was it if not Ye Yuan?
"My God! Could it be that he broke through to Divine Lord Realm? How is he actually able to fly in the sky?"
"Are you f*cking stupid? A middle-stage Grotto Profound breaking through to the Divine Lord Realm in three years?"
"If it's Divine Lord Realm, the pressure is a little too small as well!"
"You guys, look under his feet! S-Sword flight?"
When the small black dot approached, the people finally clearly saw Ye Yuan in full view.
Under his feet … He was stepping on a sword!
Ye Yuan was maneuvering a sword and flying!
Ye Yuan was approaching extremely rapidly. But the closer he got, the more powerful his aura.
"This guy is breaking through!"
"Sword maneuvering flight while breaking through, this …"
The people were utterly fl.u.s.tered. Ye Yuan's way of coming onto the stage was truly a bit too astonishing.
In the crowd, Little Fatty muttered to himself, saying with disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e, "This guy is also too capable at posturing! This way of coming onto the stage is really freaking sensational!"
He looked at the besotted appearances of those female students nearby and was envious to the extreme.
Ye Yuan's entrance to the playing field was simply too cool.
As he flew, he frenziedly devoured heaven and earth spiritual energy, throwing the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual energy in the entire martial arena into an upheaval.
Whoosh!
Ye Yuan turned into a stream of flowing light and finally stopped opposite Qin Shao.
While at this time, Ye Yuan's realm firmly stopped at late-stage Grotto Profound.
"Apologies, I made you wait a long time," Ye Yuan put away the Evil Extermination Sword and said to Qin Shao.
Qin Shao's face fell, his gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was full of dread.
There were more than tens of millions of people who cultivated the sword under the heavens. But those able to achieve sword maneuvering flight, there might not be one in a million.
Those able to do this, not one did not have an exceedingly profound understanding of Sword Dao.
Clearly, Ye Yuan's Sword Dao attainments were already unfathomable!
"I didn't wait that long either, so let's get started!"
Dread was dread, but Ye Yuan's appearance stimulated Qin Shao's powerful fighting intent even more.
"Hang on!" Qin Nantian shouted.
Tong Shou's brows furrowed, and he said, "Family Head Nantian, what's wrong?"
Qin Nantian said, "Ye Yuan learned sword maneuvering flight, this battle isn't fair!"
"Heh, Family Head Qin, your words, this Chi doesn't understand. Sword maneuvering flight was comprehended by Ye Yuan. It's not cheating either, how is this fight not fair?" Chi Fang opened his mouth and said at an inappropriate timing.
Indeed, to the Heavenspan World's martial artists under Divine Lord Realm, although their combat power was strong, not being able to fly, this weakness, greatly limited their combat power.
Once martial artists were able to fly in the sky and burrow into the ground, there was a tremendous advantage to boundaries of fighting and evading the other party's moves.
Now, Ye Yuan was able to fly with his sword, he was virtually in an undefeatable position.
No matter how fast Qin Shao's casting speed was, it was also not faster than Ye Yuan's sword maneuvering flight.
Qin Nantian also did not expect that Ye Yuan gave him such a big surprise at the eleventh hour. This made his previous confidence immediately collapse.
Qin Nantian gave a cold snort and said, "Ye Yuan's strength is no good, if he makes use of sword maneuvering flight to keep moving about non-stop, what then? That way, wouldn't this life and death battle have to go on without ceasing? Elder Tong, I request to ban Ye Yuan from using sword maneuvering flight!"
Chi Fang immediately said, "Life and death battles don't limit any methods in the first place. As long as it's one's true strength, nobody can talk behind their backs! Ye Yuan spent three years' time to comprehend sword maneuvering flight, but you said that the fight isn't fair. Where's the logic? Moreover, Ye Yuan is far inferior to Qin Shao in cultivation realm to begin with! Why don't you have Ye Yuan stick his head out and directly let Qin Shao chop."
The two people each stuck to their own argument, neither giving in to the other.
Elder Tong's side also fell into a dilemma for a while.
He thought about it and said, "Sword maneuvering flight has indeed never appeared before in life and death battles. Logically speaking, sword maneuvering flight is indeed Ye Yuan's own strength, there's no logic of placing restrictions. But Family Head Qin's concerns are also not without reason. How about this, I'll report this matter to the head elder and invite him to decide."
"No need! I'll only unleash one sword! If he can block it, I'll admit defeat and take my own life!"
Right at this time, Ye Yuan's voice sounded out.
Ye Yuan's words immediately evoked a huge response.
Qin Nantian's expression turned intent, and he immediately revealed a look of great joy.
While Chi Fang's expression similarly turned intent, but his brows knitted tightly together.
"No way, right? Ye Yuan is also too arrogant, right? Even if he can fly on a sword, his realm is much worse than Qin Shao's after all."
"Regardless of whether it is realm or laws comprehension, Qin Shao reached the limits of Grotto Profound Realm. For Ye Yuan to want to win him, wouldn't he need to have Heaven Glimpse Realm strength?"
"What kind of joke is this! Even if he comprehended sword maneuvering flight, it's also impossible to reach Heaven Glimpse Realm strength, right?"
...
In everyone's view, Ye Yuan saying so was simply conceited to the extreme.
Qin Shao's strength, everyone was all aware. It could be said to be the strongest under Heaven Glimpse already.
Ye Yuan's big talk was also boasted too ridiculously.
But Ye Yuan really did not have the intention of posturing. He only comprehended one move!
He was very confident in his move. If even this move could not deal with Qin Shao, he could only resign himself to fate.
"Since that's the case, let's start then!" After the surprise, Elder Tong opened his mouth and said.
"Only unleashes one sword? It looks like you're really very confident in this sword of yours! Since that's the case, then I won't be courteous!"
His
voice had yet to fade when Qin Shao's powerful aura erupted with a loud bang. The realm oppression of half-step Heaven Glimpse blotted out the skies and covered the earth and crushed over towards Ye Yuan.
Clank!
The long sword came out of the sheath, cold light radiating everything!
"It's Grand Chant Sword Void! Qin Shao he has actually been cultivating Grand Chant Sword Void all along! What a powerful power of laws!"
"Ye Yuan played it big this time! He probably never dreamed that Qin Shao had actually long cultivated one of the six supreme academy skills, Grand Chant Sword Void!"
"Heh, conceited people naturally have heaven to take in! A mere late-stage Grotto Profound actually dare tell Qin Shao that he was only unleashing one sword! I want to take a look at how he blocks this sword!"
...
The moment Qin Shao made his move, everyone immediately understood.
The Grand Chant Sword Void was the same as the Taiyi True Dipper Fist, one of Wu Meng Academy's six supreme academy skills, its power immense!
Judging from his attack, this Grand Chant Sword Void was clearly already cultivated to the realm of grand completion first-level!
For a moment, the entire martial arena crisscrossed with sword energy. Powerful Sword Dao laws crushed over towards Ye Yuan.
"Fine sword! It wasn't in vain for me to arrange a battle with you! Qin Shao, you didn't disappoint me! Now, I'll let you see the Chaos Heaven Opening Sword Art that I created in the Sword Tomb!"
Seeing Qin Shao's powerful strength, Ye Yuan's fighting intent was instantly ignited.
Ye Yuan comprehended for five years in the Sword Tomb. In these five years, he had no idea how many gouges sliced on his body, suffered how severe the injuries, and endured how much agony.
Now, he finally created a Sword Dao martial technique that belonged to him!
Ye Yuan named it the Chaos Heaven Opening Sword Art!
With Evil Extermination emerging, Ye Yuan pointed at the sky with his sword. A swift and fierce swift and fierce surged towards the sky!
Ye Yuan's mouth lightly spat out two words, "Sundering … Stars!"
Chapter 1389 - Unexpected
"What a powerful sword art!"
"T-Too strong! Ye Yuan's aura is actually no worse than Qin Shao's!"
