Chapter 777: Chapter 776: Majestic
"Show off!"
Tang Zhiyang couldn’t help but scoff.
He could probably guess Shi Xiaole’s intention. Losing would have been expected, but if he won, his reputation would rise to a new level. Indeed, a perfect plan.
The other young members of the Tang Sect beside him also revealed their disdain.
"A hero does not ask for age, ha, a young hero indeed."
An elder from the Oblivion Assembly smiled silently, but no one took it as praise.
Despite many criticisms of Shi Xiaole’s actions, including elders from the Sword Evaluation Elegant Mountain, no one tried to stop him. Because given the same level of combat power he exhibited, challenging the Star Level Battle Stage was not blasphemous.
What people couldn’t stand was his repeated challenges to everyone’s endurance limit.
Above the Star Level Battle Stage.
A white figure appeared, the breath of the Dustless Sword Path dropped from ninety percent in the middle stage to forty percent at the peak.
For the challenger, the stage will only control his cultivation, not changing other aspects. Unlike the projection of the array system, both cultivation and martial arts will be adjusted to be on par with the challenger.
"So this is the power of the Peak of Divine Barrier Realm?"
After experiencing it himself, Shi Xiaole felt that every cell of his body was full of power. But he knew that this was definitely not the power he had when he entered the Peak of the Divine Barrier Realm.
The array system is still an array system after all.
How could it know that his Vigorous Air limit far exceeded that of ordinary people? The power he has now is just a simulation by the array system based on his breath under normal circumstances.
So, strictly speaking, Shi Xiaole’s current power is far from enough compared to the power he would have when he truly achieved the Peak of Divine Barrier Realm. However, even so, it was enough to crush a majority of people.
"Elder, please enlighten me."
The Red Left sword slowly unsheathed. With every inch pulled out, Shi Xiaole’s momentum became stronger, like a raging wind, like a sharp sword.
When the tip of the sword appeared, a faint cyan Sword Qi, nearly transparent, had pierced a huge hole in the void above Shi Xiaole’s head. Layer upon layer of sword threads formed an endless vortex, reaching the heavens, as if sucking in people’s souls.
"How is it possible? His momentum is so strong!"
The Dragon Slayer Swordsman’s face twisted under his iron mask.
How could he not expect it? It must be Shi Xiaole had hidden his strength before, and not just by a little, but he didn’t want to admit it, nor was he willing to.
Gong Thirteen’s face looked stern, his eyes like two golden lamps, bursting with unprecedented light.
Ding Xuefu clenched her pretty fists, recalling the teasing words of the young man in surprise, which extinguished most of her residual resentment.
Many more were shocked by the momentum created by Shi Xiaole. At this moment, Shi Xiaole made his move.
When facing an unparalleled swordsman, especially the Dustless Sword Emperor, any probing was simply a waste of time and energy. Shi Xiaole’s thinking was the same as Wu Buyu’s, he must eliminate the opponent as much as possible before he strengthens.
"Wild Wave!"
With his power gathered to its peak, Shi Xiaole swiftly swung his sword. The faint cyan vortex above his head suddenly deepened. Upon closer look, a stream of cyan river seemed to fall from the vortex, as if it was from the heavenly realm.
Crackle!
Wild Wave was a non-discriminatory killing move that instantly flooded more than half of the Star Level Battle Stage. Under the repeated onslaught of countless sword threads, the white figure dimmed by more than half.
"The attack power of this move is not inferior to mine."
Wu Buyu was greatly surprised.
The same level of combat power is not always the same, especially when one’s cultivation gets higher, martial arts become more refined, techniques become more numerous. Once the realm is suppressed again, the strength is definitely much stronger than the initial level.
Wu Buyu couldn’t believe that the twenty-nine-year-old Kirin, had an attack power at the same level that was not inferior to his own.
But what surprised him more was still to come.
After an onslaught, Shi Xiaole used body-sword integration, moving like a beam of light, and in the blink of an eye, he had slashed dozens of cuts into the white beam.
A single powerful attack like that, due to the need to build momentum and the energy it uses, cannot be made continuously, and this was the white beam’s chance. But Shi Xiaole didn’t give it that opportunity.
With the body-sword integration technique, close combat power was slightly less than the onslaught, but it was faster, consumed less energy, and could almost be used continuously. It was the perfect counter to the Dustless Sword Emperor.
"How much power did that guy use during his confrontation with Sister Ding?"
The girls from Heavenly Snow Mountain were agape, staring at Shi Xiaole who had successfully counterattacked the once enhanced white beam and were stunned into silence.
The speed of the body-sword integration technique had reached its limit, so had its fierceness. Discounting the power gap caused by cultivation, just the unstoppable tempo and momentum was far greater than when he crossed swords with Ding Xuefu.
Ding Xuefu had clearly noticed this too, biting down on her silver teeth and her face alternated between pale and flushed.
Clang, clang, clang...
After dozens of attacks in one go, when Shi Xiaole finally stopped, the white beam had reduced to a third of its original size after its second enhancement.
Whoosh!
The white beam lightly waved forward, the entire arena suddenly darkened - the same move he used to defeat Wu Buyu, Darkness Ultimate.
"Chaotic Wind Cloud!"
Shi Xiaole didn’t take a step back.
With a ’Whoosh’ sound!
Within the boundless night, a green grinding plate slowly surfaced, rotating and shattering the darkness. The energy of the grinding plate was also consumed, but at a much slower rate, and finally, it fiercely rushed towards the white beam.
The white beam narrowly evaded the strike as it shifted sideways.
"Well, this young man’s Vigorous Air is quite profound."
Heavenly Silkworm Sword Emperor was slightly surprised.
With his discerning eyes, he could easily see that the Chaotic Wind Cloud and Wu Buyu’s Armour Removal were different. The latter was a major attack, while the former was much simpler in terms of momentum building and execution.
This proved that Shi Xiaole’s Vigorous Air at the same level was much more profound than Wu Buyu’s.
Dustless Sword Emperor held a jade cup in his hand, a faint smile playing on his lips.
He had originally thought the Sword Evaluation would be uneventful, but unexpectedly, in the end, it brought him a surprise. He only hoped that the young man could last a little longer.
"Wuji!"
As darkness descended once again, Shi Xiaole directly unleashed a major killer move.
A tornado of Sword Qi swallowed the darkness, expanding to almost a thousand feet in diameter, covering the entire arena overhead. It even pushed the surrounding light screen tens of meters away. Its terrifying power left many with chills.
Wu Buyu rose abruptly from his seat. This move had several times more killing power than Armour Removal. Didn’t that mean that at the same level, Shi Xiaole could easily hang him out to dry?
Was this outstanding presence, hidden beneath the gentlemanly exterior, what the aloof Kirin was unwilling to show?
Not only Wu Buyu was standing, but also many of the Martial and Sword Kings, and the younger ones were even more captivated. With such a killer move, could it defeat the Dustless Sword Emperor’s white beam?
Boom...
It was like the Heavenly Collapse and Earth Shattering, the ripple of the venue’s shield exploded in circles. Each ripple, fading away almost to nothing, nearly shattered the barrier of the arena.
Inside the barrier, Shi Xiaole stood calmly.
In front of him, a white light gradually enlarged, which seemed like mercury filling the hollow white beam, instantly restoring it to its peak state.
Observant individuals noticed that this third enhancement of the white beam, when compared to its victory over Wu Buyu, was far more powerful.
