The King's Avatar: The Sword Immortal Returns

Yu Wenzhou actually felt that Mo Qian had thought of the Dark Cage technique from the beginning, but the reason he didn't use it was simply because Mo Qian wanted to play a little longer. He had finally gotten a chance to spar with Ye Xiu and Han Wenqing, so how could he end the battle so easily?

"Hmph! Old Mo is definitely doing this on purpose. Old Han, we're probably being used by Old Mo for practice."

Ye Xiu helped Han Wenqing up and revealed the truth. Han Wenqing understood. In fact, Han Wenqing also knew that Mo Qian had no intention of using the Dark Cage before, but Han Wenqing actually wanted to give Mo Qian a chance to practice. Even if it was just practice, Han Wenqing could gain some insights from it.
"Look at you, look at you, isn't Old Han more enlightened?"

Mo Qian overheard the conversation between Han Wenqing and Ye Xiu.

"Old Mo, stop pretending to be a good guy. You're the worst one."

"Never mind him, never mind him, Lao Han, let's continue our special training. We need to hone our skills. As long as we train enough, we'll be able to beat Lao Mo sooner or later."

Ye Xiu said with great confidence.
Han Wenqing knew that Ye Xiu had fallen into his old habit of self-comfort. Ye Xiu would comfort himself whenever he encountered great difficulties, and Han Wenqing had gotten used to it.

"Old Ye, actually I think we don't have many chances left."

This was what Han Wenqing thought to himself, but he didn't say it aloud. Mo Qian's current strength had far exceeded everyone's imagination.

"I wonder if Lao Mo's current strength is enough to get through the Nine-Story Demon Tower."

Yu Wenzhou thought to himself that with Mo Qian's current strength, passing through the Nine-Story Demon Tower should be no problem at all.

After all, the Nine-Story Demon Tower is only the guardian of the ninth floor, and it can't stop Mo Qian in his current state.

The special training proceeded smoothly. Mo Qian needed to spar with different people every day. Sometimes it was the "older" duo of Ye Xiu and Han Wenqing. Although this duo was the oldest in the team, they were the strongest. In front-line battles, Ye Xiu and Han Wenqing liked to hold back some of their strength. This was not because Ye Xiu or Han Wenqing did not want to help their teammates.

Instead, Ye Xiu and Han Wenqing understood that they had to conserve their strength to have a backup plan. Therefore, their burst of power was always reserved for the last moment, either for escape or the final battle.

However, what Ye Xiu actually wanted more was for him and Lao Han to have a breakdown and run away, because the reason they didn't run away was because Ye Xiu felt there was no chance of escape at all. That's why Ye Xiu and Lao Han rushed to the front to make a last-ditch effort.

A week later, the special training ended. It didn't end because they couldn't improve, but because Yu Wenzhou discovered that everyone seemed to have reached a bottleneck in their strength. Even Mo Qian had basically mastered his dark power, and he had used this newly acquired power to perfection.

"How smoothly are you cultivating your dark power?"

Mo Qian looked at the few people who had awakened the power of darkness.
Yu Wenzhou, Ye Xiu, and Han Wenqing all awakened the power of darkness. Han Wenqing was the last to awaken it because he had been trying to grasp the power of darkness for a long time.

Everyone else could only imbue their attacks with a little dark power, but these three were the only ones with the awakened talent of dark power.

In other words, Ye Xiu, Yu Wenzhou, and Han Wenqing also possess a new type of attack method.

"Pretty much, it's going fairly smoothly. Even Lao Han has recently learned how to use the Dark Cage technique."

Ye Xiu said excitedly. Han Wenqing, who was standing next to him, heard Ye Xiu's words and flicked him on the forehead. "Ouch! Old Han, why did you hit me? You only learned it today!"

When Ye Xiu saw Han Wenqing raise his hand as if to strike him again, Ye Xiu quickly channeled his dark power, instantly disappearing from his spot and reappearing behind Mo Qian the next moment.

"Old Mexican helped me."

Mo Qian looked at Ye Xiu speechlessly. Ye Xiu really did seem to be getting younger lately.

Ye Xiu only had such energy when he was young.

Han Wenqing was actually quite pleased to see Ye Xiu like this. It was really not easy for these older folks to still have such vitality.

"Old Ye's actions have given me some energy."

Yu Wenzhou looked at the excited Old Ye. After Old Ye obtained the power of darkness, his body got better day by day. Everyone is like this. The power of darkness can improve one's physique. For those who have awakened the talent of the power of darkness, the reason for the improvement in physique is even more obvious.

Compared to the slight enhancements to the physiques of Huang Shaotian and others, the physiques of older individuals like Ye Xiu have been greatly strengthened by the power of darkness in the past few days. This enhanced physique has truly allowed Ye Xiu to experience the vitality of his youth.

Han Wenqing also felt the changes in his physique, but the changes he felt were not as obvious as those felt by Ye Xiu. This was because Han Wenqing's physique was already frighteningly strong, while Ye Xiu's physique was the weakest among the elderly, so naturally, Old Ye was the one who felt the changes most clearly.

The only thing that Mo Qian found a little regrettable was that Lao Wei hadn't awakened his talent for dark power. Lao Wei was someone who possessed the dark domain, yet he hadn't awakened his talent for controlling dark power, which Mo Qian found rather strange.

"Old Ye, you've basically abandoned Old Wei. Your physique is much stronger than Old Wei's now. Before, you were worth one-five Old Wei, but now you're worth three Old Weis."

At this moment, Lao Wei, who was still trying to summon his own domain, was completely unaware that he had been used as a unit of measurement by Yu Wenzhou and others.

If Lao Wei knew about this, he would definitely make a scene, but he doesn't know about it now.

"Pfft, Lao Yu, isn't it a bit inappropriate of you to use Lao Wei as a unit of measurement? Hahaha!"

Ye Xiu laughed loudly while saying it was bad.
Old Wei looked at Ye Xiu with some confusion, thinking that Ye Xiu was laughing at his success in controlling his dark power.

Old Wei pursed his lips. He didn't know why he hadn't awakened the talent to control dark power, even though he had successfully tamed the volatile dark power.

Indeed, the usually cautious Lao Wei resolutely declared that he wanted to inject violent dark power when Lao Mo infused it into him.

Mo Qian injected two waves of dark power into Lao Wei. The first wave of dark power was completely absorbed by Lao Wei's domain without any leakage. Lao Wei knew that his domain was about to evolve, but he didn't know how long it would take to digest it and successfully evolve.

"Sigh—" (End of Chapter)
