Chapter 72 The Unconscious Person
"Qirin!"

Seeing Tianwu Lingdou rushing towards him with the Qingming Demon Sword in hand, Aize immediately spoke up.

"Yes!"

Toto Kirin understood what he meant and dodged instantly, moving in an arc to avoid Amagiri Ayato's charge.

Aize replaced Toudou Kirin's position, switched positions with Toudou Kirin, and while protecting her behind himself, he faced Amagiri Ayato.

"Buzz!"

The two magic swords immediately emitted an excited vibration sound, and then, under the swing of their holders, they slashed towards each other at an extremely fast speed amid flying sparks.

"Chong-"

With the sound of metal clashing, the magic swords finally collided with each other.

Sparks burst out violently in the fluctuations of the Universal Element, causing the two magic swords to rub against each other violently.

"Blocked!"

"As expected of a famous magic sword! The two sides, who were originally unable to defend themselves, are now in a stalemate!"

The quick commentary during the live broadcast made the audience shout out in excitement.

No matter whether it was the Black Furnace Demon Sword or the Green Ming Demon Sword, they were both famous for being invincible in this Phoenix Star Martial Festival. There was no telling how many weapons had been cut off due to collisions with them, and how many people had to fight in a roundabout way because they were afraid of this power and tried desperately to avoid a head-on confrontation with them.

Even the Tyrant Blood Scythe, which is also a pure Star Glory-style weapon, will be slightly cut into the sickle blade by the Black Furnace Demon Sword when it encounters the Black Furnace Demon Sword because the sword is not at full power.

If it collides head-on with the Black Furnace Demon Sword, a pure Star-Glory-type weapon like the Tyrant Blood Scythe might be able to withstand two or three hits, but if the number of collisions increases, it will still be cut off.

The same is true for the Qingming Demon Sword. Its ability to cut through the space of a designated coordinate axis is so strong that even pure Xinghuang-style weapons of the same level can only fight with it for a few rounds at most.

This kind of unscrupulous confrontation between the two sides, in which it was obvious that neither could do anything to the other, was the first time that the Black Furnace Demon Sword and the Green Ming Demon Sword had appeared since they had appeared in the Phoenix Star Martial Festival.

“Clang—clang—clang—clang—”

It happened so quickly that when the audience was cheering excitedly, Aize and Amagiri Ayato had already exchanged dozens of moves with each other.

The Black Furnace Demon Sword in Aize's hand slashed out with a purple-black sword light at an extremely fast speed, like a series of sharp flashes, slashing towards Tianwu Lingdou from different directions and angles.

Tianwu Lingdou did not dare to be careless. He moved the Qingming Demon Sword in his hand with the smallest movement. With every move, he blocked the incoming purple-black sword light one by one, and even bounced it away with force, making Aize's attacks all ineffective.

If it were any other Huang-style weapon, even if it was pure Xinghuang-style weapon, it would have been damaged long ago after such a fierce collision with the Black Furnace Demon Sword and the Green Ming Demon Sword. However, when they collided with each other, neither could do anything to the other.

"As expected of the Black Furnace Demon Sword, it is indeed very powerful."

Amagiri Ayato quickly stepped back, dodging the oncoming slash from Aze, and while keeping some distance from Aze, he let out such an exclamation.

"The Qingming Demon Sword isn't bad either." Seeing that Tianwu Lingdou's posture was flawless, Aize didn't dare to attack recklessly. He could only raise the Black Furnace Demon Sword and point it at the opponent, saying, "And you, have you become much stronger than before the Phoenix Star Martial Festival?"

What Aize meant by becoming stronger was not the growth of Amagiri Ayato's physical abilities, nor the increase of his star power, but rather his eyesight and intuition.

If it was the previous Amagiri Ayato, he would certainly be able to defend against that wave of attacks, but he definitely wouldn't be able to defend against it so easily.

Aize felt that his attack patterns had been seen through by the opponent, so that Amagiri Ayato only needed to use the smallest movement to deal with his attacks, lightly and with ease.

"Could this be the realm of consciousness of the Tianwu Chenming School?"

Aizawa was surprised by what he said.

"So you know the word 'knowledge'?"

Amagiri Ayato showed a surprised expression.

"I just happened to know." Aize smiled and said, "The Tianwu Chenming School is an ancient school. All the moves are generally divided into the initial, intermediate and ultimate styles."

"Let's not talk about the initial and intermediate transmissions, but if we want to use the ultimate transmission of Tianwu Chenming style, there must be a prerequisite."

"That is to expand your perception to the limit, to the point where you can sense your opponent's breathing, slight gestures, subtle movements, and even the flow of power, sound, air, and all other information in the surrounding space."

"This is the realm of consciousness of the Amagiri Tatsumei school."

Only when one reaches this realm can the swordsman of the Amagiri Tatsuaki school display sword skills in the realm of Otsu.

Before the Phoenix Star Martial Festival began, Amagiri Ayato was strong, but he had not yet reached this level. However, the hard work along the way made Amagiri Ayato suffer a lot, but it also made Amagiri Ayato fully tempered.

Thus, Amagiri Ayato reached the realm of "consciousness" and entered the ultimate realm of Amagiri Tatsuaki-ryu.

"Have you solved the seal problem on your body?"

Aize said this as if he was counting out Amagiri Ayato's growth along the way.

"You can't say it's completely resolved, right?" Amagiri Ayato said with a smile, "It's just that we don't have to worry about being restricted too much anymore."

Before the Phoenix Star Martial Festival, Amagiri Ayato's method of removing the seal from his body was very rough, so that after the seal was removed, it would cause a large amount of riot and loss of star power, so that he could only exert his full strength for a maximum of about five minutes.

Once this period of time is exceeded, not only will the seal be reactivated, but the excessive loss of star power will also place a burden on his body, making him unable to move for the rest of the day.

During the first round of the preliminaries, Amagiri Ayato was still at this stage. The spell he chanted before the battle began was a necessary step to break the chains sealed on his body and exert his full strength.

But after fighting all the way until now, Amagiri Ayato has been able to better remove the seal in his body, allowing him to significantly extend the time he can exert his full strength.

Now, even if he fights with all his strength for more than an hour, it will not be a big deal.

He also discarded the spell to remove the seal. There was no need to chant such a spell. Amagiri Ayato could remove the seal instantly.

"As expected, people like you are the protagonists. As long as there is an opportunity, you will grow incredibly fast."

Aize said this with some helplessness.

"…Shouldn't I be the one to say this?"

Amagiri Ayato had a strange look on his face.

Although he has grown a lot, there are traces of everything.

He had practiced Tianwu Chenming style swordsmanship for many years and could have entered the realm of "consciousness" a long time ago. However, due to the seal, the flow of star power when it was released was too rough, causing too much noise, which prevented his perception from unfolding smoothly.

Therefore, after solving the problem of the seal, Amagiri Ayato naturally entered the realm of "consciousness".

But what about Aize?

He had heard that three months ago, the other party was just an unknown little character in the Star Guide Academy, the kind that couldn't even be included in the famous sacrificial book.

As a result, in just three months, he not only became the user of the Blackforge Demon Sword, but also grew to the point where he could reach the top of the Star Guide Academy...

This is the protagonist of the cheating game, right?
The two men facing each other thought this way, and were completely unaware of the fact that they were the protagonists.

"If you want to chat, can we wait until the game is over?"

At this time, Julis's slightly anxious voice came from behind.

"We can't hold on any longer here, Ayato!"

Hearing Julis' voice, Amagiri Ayato turned his head hastily.

He saw Julis, whose whole body was on fire, continuously shooting out flame wheels, trying to hinder the approaching Toudou Qirin, but Toudou Qirin chopped off the flame wheels one by one, and the distance between them was rapidly shortened.

"Julis!"

Amagiri Ayato rushed over immediately.

Aize naturally would not miss this opportunity. Hot wind swirled around his body. With a bang under his feet, he burst out at an astonishing speed and chased after Amagiri Ayato.

However, just as Aize was about to catch up with Amagiri Ayato, he was surprised to find that a red magic circle had unfolded under his feet.

"Huh! Are you finally fooled?"

Julis, who originally looked anxious, showed a triumphant expression.

"Bloom - Rong Lie Yan Zhua Hua!"

The next second, five pillars of fire erupted from the ground beneath Aize's feet.
