Chapter 405: Chapter 404: Enlightenment

BANG, BANG!

On the battle platform, Ling Fei attacked time and again, only to be defeated by Lian Shuang each time.

However, with Lian Shuang’s guidance and Ling Fei’s own comprehension, his understanding of the Sword Dao was constantly improving.

His understanding of the Mystical of Martial Arts became increasingly clear.

’A Mystical is endless. There’s no need to overthink it. As long as it’s perfect in this moment, that’s enough.’ After countless attacks, Ling Fei’s Heart Spirit became exceptionally clear.

In the past, he always felt that a Mystical was profound and seemingly impossible to perfect. Like water, it contained too much; controlling it completely was easier said than done.

But after sparring with Lian Shuang time and again,

and after her repeated pointers, Ling Fei finally had an epiphany.

For a Mystical, one simply needed to bring what one already controlled to Perfection.

As for the rest, that was a matter for a later time.

After all, a path must be walked one step at a time. Everything required continuous accumulation.

’Ling Fei’s Mystical has become even more perfect.’ On the Waiting Battle Platform to the side, Xu Zitao’s expression grew increasingly grim.

The weaker Ling Fei was, the easier it would be for him to crush and torment him.

But now that Ling Fei was constantly getting stronger, it made his heart feel inexplicably uneasy.

’Is Lian Shuang guiding Ling Fei right now just so he can deal with me?’ Xu Zitao’s expression was incredibly dark.

’But does she really think this last-minute cramming will prepare him to face me?’ Xu Zitao’s face was incredibly dark. ’Besides, has Lian Shuang actually developed feelings for Ling Fei? Has she forgotten who she is?’ As this thought crossed his mind, Xu Zitao’s gaze turned increasingly sinister.

However, Lian Shuang paid no mind to the chatter of others, so he could only grit his teeth in frustration.

’Now, all my Mysticals of Martial Arts have reached perfection.’ On the battle platform, Ling Fei’s eyes narrowed. He had a crystal-clear understanding of his own Mysticals of Martial Arts.

’Next, I need to imbue my Mysticals with will.’

Willpower!

It was a very profound concept.

Mysticals and Martial Arts were originally comprehended by people and had no Spirituality.

To forcefully imbue them with will was not easy; it required powerful Soul Power and great Control Power over the Mystical.

But Ling Fei had vaguely touched the threshold.

"The Mystical is secondary; will is primary. Wherever your will reaches, the Mystical can become infinite." Lian Shuang stroked her long blue hair, her eyelashes fluttering as she looked at Ling Fei. "Don’t overthink it. Just act from your heart. Attack me with your most powerful move. From now on, I won’t be holding back so much."

When these words fell, a luster appeared on her blue long sword.

’The Mystical is secondary; will is primary. Wherever your will reaches, the Mystical can become infinite.’ The phrase echoed endlessly in Ling Fei’s mind.

SWISH!

However, before Ling Fei could think more, Lian Shuang took the initiative to attack this time.

WHOOSH!

With a gesture of her elegant hand, five Sword Lotuses whistled straight ahead.

Each Sword Lotus contained a different Mystical, and with all of them unleashed at once, their might was absolutely ferocious.

SWISH, SWISH!

On the sparring stage, the Sword Lotuses whistled. Before they even reached Ling Fei, the Light Patterns on their petals flickered, transforming into Swords of Sword Qi that slashed forward.

Ling Fei was completely engulfed by the Swords of Sword Qi. Some blades whistled toward him, carrying the force of a great river.

Some blades were like mountains, pressing down so hard the Void trembled.

Some blades were incomparably sharp, slicing through the Void.

What was even more terrifying was that each of these blades seemed to contain a trace of will.

Such an attack could completely defeat Cultivators at the Celestial Pill Perfect Realm.

And these were merely the Swords of Sword Qi released by the Sword Lotuses.

The power contained within the five Sword Lotuses themselves was even greater.

’Against an attack like this, I have to go all out.’ A glint flashed in Ling Fei’s eyes; he felt immense pressure.

At this moment, he didn’t dare to be the slightest bit careless.

’Form the True Dragon Body!’ Ling Fei’s eyes narrowed, and the Blood Qi within him immediately began to circulate.

If he didn’t circulate his True Dragon Blood Qi, he couldn’t contend with Lian Shuang at all.

Instantly, Dragon Scales appeared on Ling Fei’s body.

’Act from the heart?’ As the Dragon Scales materialized, Ling Fei felt boundless Power surging within him.

He held his Spirit Sword, his eyes showing deep thought.

At this moment, his attainments in the Sword Dao were clearly lower than Lian Shuang’s. No matter how hard he tried to comprehend it, he would struggle to match her strength.

Therefore, overthinking was useless.

’Then I’ll just act from my heart!’ Ling Fei’s eyes narrowed as he stared forward. The endless Swords of Sword Qi slashing toward him were breathtaking.

With so many Swords of Sword Qi pouring down at once, blocking them one by one would surely lead to exhaustion.

The best way was to break through the encirclement directly.

Only by doing so could he seize the initiative. Otherwise, once his power was continuously drained, defeat would be inevitable.

True Dragon Void-Shattering!

Ling Fei held his long sword and leaped up. Like a True Dragon, he streaked across the Void, stabbing forward.

BANG, BANG!

Wherever the long sword passed, the Void shattered. The streams of Sword Qi collapsed, completely unable to withstand Ling Fei’s strike.

In Ling Fei’s heart, there was only one intention: shatter the Void and break out of the encirclement. This Willpower made his sword strike unstoppable.

Just as Ling Fei broke through the layers of sword light blades, the five Sword Lotuses whistled over and surrounded him, about to form a vortex of swords.

The Sword Lotuses spun, their Sword Qi endless. The attack was still something Ling Fei could not withstand.

"The Five Elements Swordsmanship is truly formidable." Below the Observation Platform, the Celestial Pill Realm experts from various sects wore solemn expressions.

Originally, Ling Fei had already broken through the encirclement, but now the Sword Lotuses surrounded him, forming a vortex that continuously tightened, its blooming Sword Qi threatening to shred him to pieces.

In this way, Ling Fei was trapped in an encirclement once again.

Now, he had to face not only the Sword Lotus in front but also the ones behind and to his sides.

He had clearly fallen into a much greater crisis.

This was the profound mystery of the Five Elements Swordsmanship.

It was merely a Sword Technique, yet it was already like an Array, trapping people within it.

Of course, cultivating the Five Elements Sword Technique to this level was something no ordinary person could achieve.

Even ordinary Quasi-Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators couldn’t reach this stage.

Lian Shuang was undoubtedly an anomaly.

’Five Sword Lotuses have surrounded me?’ With a stir of his Heart Spirit, Ling Fei instantly perceived his predicament.

An ordinary Cultivator would surely be terrified by this situation.

Panic would mean certain defeat.

’The Five Elements Swordsmanship is strong, but I only need to break through one path to get out. I don’t need to worry about the other four Sword Lotuses.’ Ling Fei completely ignored the encirclement. His mind was fully immersed in his sword, and a dense True Dragon Blood Qi erupted from his body.

ROAR!

A dragon’s roar sounded. Ling Fei’s aura was like a rainbow as he flew directly toward the Sword Lotus in front of him.

Then, under everyone’s gaze, his sword pierced the Sword Lotus.

When the Sword Lotus was pierced, the adjacent Sword Lotuses rotated, attempting to close the gap and trap Ling Fei again.

But Ling Fei was too fast. Like a meteor, he pierced through layer after layer of Sword Patterns and finally broke free from the restraints of the Five Elements Sword Lotus.

The next moment, the woman holding the blue long sword appeared before his eyes.

"Very good. That sword strike had a bit more will in it." Seeing Ling Fei break out, Lian Shuang nodded slightly.

The next moment, her long sword moved, and a beam of blue sword light slashed toward Ling Fei.

BANG!

One slash tore apart the Qi Dragon, its killing intent chilling one to the bone.

Ling Fei resisted with all his might, his momentum set on shattering the void, but his power was still neutralized bit by bit by her Sword Aura.

DING!

Finally, the blue Sword Aura landed on his Spirit Sword. As if struck by a heavy blow, he was sent flying backward.

Ling Fei was sent flying, the Blood Qi in his body churning. In this exchange, he was still at a disadvantage.

However, Ling Fei’s control over the Sword Dao Mystical had improved yet again.

Vaguely, he seemed to have touched the Half-step Nascent Soul Realm.
