I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 378 Free Sparring (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Chu Feng's swordplay was powerful and sweeping, each strike radiating an overwhelming confidence in his superior strength.

He saw that Zhaoming on the other side was only blocking and dodging, his movements were smooth but he never counterattacked.

Chu Feng then felt a slight sense of contempt.

"Has your Flowing Cloud Pavilion become so lazy that you can't even draw your swords?"

Chu Feng flicked his wrist, and the clear, sharp sword energy poured out like mercury, unleashing an even more ferocious attack.

This is his signature move, "Fleeting Light and Shadow," which he has practiced diligently for a long time. It contains the sword intent of flowing light, alternating between reality and illusion, and seals off all the space around Zhaoming.

This was the climax of his offensive, preparing to end this tedious mission in one fell swoop. At this point, he was too embarrassed to do it again.

However, just as Chu Feng was about to exhaust the last layer of sword intent in 'Fleeting Shadows', and a new sword intent had not yet followed, a subtle gap arose.

A sudden change occurred!

Zhaoming, who had been only defending and not attacking, with an aura as calm as still water, suddenly had a dazzling golden light burst forth from his empty eyes!

It was as if an ancient sword, dormant for a thousand years, had been awakened in an instant, its sharp sword intent as tangible as a physical force, erupting with a thunderous roar.

Zhaoming neither retreated nor parried.

The crimson longsword in his hand was thrust out at an angle that Chu Feng recognized but was also alarmed by. The equally clear and sharp sword energy spread out, which was none other than the 'Flowing Light and Shadow' that Chu Feng had just used with all his might.

"My grass?"

And this is not a simple imitation.

The sword intent that Zhaoming brought was more refined, faster, and more decisive than that of Chu Feng!
Each wisp of 'light' was imbued with the unique, blazing sword energy of the Yaoling Sword, while each 'shadow' contained an even stronger killing intent and wisps of Geng metal sharpness than Chu Feng himself.

"This is impossible!!"

Chu Feng roared in horror, his mind almost blank.

He instinctively raised his sword to block, trying to cut off the familiar yet unfamiliar deadly sword light.

boom!
The moment their swords clashed, an unparalleled force surged forth like a tidal wave, and his protective sword aura, which he had poured all his strength into, was easily torn apart like paper.

He felt a sharp pain in his hand, as if his chest had been struck by a heavy hammer. He was thrown backwards completely out of control, landing awkwardly on the grass a dozen feet away.

Chu Feng knelt on one knee, his long sword planted in front of him to steady himself, his eyes filled with disbelief and horror.

"Are you even human? You learned it in a second?"

Chu Feng couldn't believe it. Even if he brought over the most intelligent sword cultivators from Xingyi Pavilion and Wuxiang Pavilion in the entire sect, there was no way he could learn the sword intent that others had honed for decades in just one exchange.

Chu Feng remained relatively calm. After careful consideration and a brief review, two bright lights suddenly shot out from his eyes.

"So this is how sword intent can be condensed! That final diagonal slash combined with footwork could actually unleash such powerful shockwave? Fire energy piercing through... My sword is primarily of the metal element, yet he was able to completely integrate fire-attribute sword energy into my moves, achieving such a terrifying qualitative change?"

Chu Feng felt as if a door to a new world had been violently flung open, flooding in with unprecedented light and ecstasy.

"Brother, let's do it again!"

Chu Feng suddenly raised his head, his eyes no longer showing any contempt or resentment, but only pure fighting spirit and a thirst for knowledge.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, pointed his longsword at the bamboo swordsman again, and his voice trembled slightly with excitement.

"My name is Chu Feng. Please enlighten me!"

The moment he gave his name, he was no longer there to complete some ridiculous mission, but to treat the other party as a real opponent, ready for a true duel!

Zhaoming remained silent, but after passively parrying several attacks, he seized an opening and returned the opponent's moves with even greater force.

His empty yet sharp eyes seemed to see through Chu Feng's every intention. Chu Feng was repeatedly blasted away and knocked back, even his sword was chipped by the impact.

But each time he got up, he was faster, his eyes brighter, and he kept repeating "Again," "So that's how it is," and "Wonderful!"

Chu Feng has completely transformed into a qualified 'sword maniac'.

Chu Feng forgot about time, forgot about the mission, and even forgot the pride of Guiyi Sword Pavilion.

At this moment, all he wanted was to persevere longer and learn more in this 'kendo lesson' that pushed him to his limits!

He fought with increasing ferocity, his body wounded but his spirit soaring to its peak.

At the lakeside atop Cloud Mist Peak, only the continuous clanging of swords and Chu Feng's excited shouts remained.

Jiang Yi, who was hidden in the formation, sighed lazily.

"This guy's pretty savvy. He knows that getting beaten up is the best learning opportunity. His attitude is good, so he's not annoying. It's a free sparring partner, which is great."

After gaining a certain understanding of Chu Feng's skill level, Jiang Yi instructed Zhao Ming and Yao Ling to play with him, and when he got tired, to kick him out and let him come back next time.

As for Jiang Yi, he left from the other side of the formation, had Hua Gu transform into a white crane, and took her to the Inner Affairs Hall.

When Jiang Yi arrived at the Inner Affairs Hall, there were two Foundation Establishment sword cultivators fighting in the square outside, but the damage was not yet significant.

There were a few people trying to break up the fight, but while they were trying to calm things down, one of them accidentally got elbowed in the nose and, in a fit of temper, joined in the brawl.

Sword energy flew wildly across the square, and people walking around would suddenly be struck from behind by a sword.

Jiang Yi landed and put Hua Gu away... and then a group fight broke out.

Luo Xingwen from the Internal Affairs Department ran out of the dilapidated house and leaned against the door frame, watching the commotion with amusement.

"Go ahead and fight! We're just worried about not having enough spirit stones to repair the roof. Fight hard, fight with all your might!"

Luo Xingwen glanced to the side and saw Jiang Yi, whom he hadn't seen for three months. He had just been wondering when Jiang Yi would come to collect her mission for the year, since most of the other new members came to collect their missions the next day.

This person was nowhere to be seen for three months, only showing up on the last day. Truly worthy of being called the chosen one of Flowing Cloud Pavilion.

Luo Xingwen was about to greet Jiang Yi, after all, Jiang Yi was a Golden Core cultivator and should be respected, when at that moment, several sword energies from the group attacking Jiang Yi rushed towards her. Luo Xingwen's heart jumped into his throat.

No matter how hard a Foundation Establishment cultivator attacks, all they can do is unleash their sword energy and leave a few marks on the wall.

Once a Golden Core cultivator makes a move, Luo Xingwen can only pray that it won't rain tomorrow, otherwise it will be inconvenient for the Internal Affairs Hall to work outdoors.

However, the expected outburst of anger from the Golden Core cultivator did not occur. Instead, Jiang Yi walked with her usual gait, appearing lazy. As the sword energy attacked her, she casually leaned back, dodged to the side, looked down at the soles of her feet, and then wiped the dirt off her shoes.

She avoided all the sword energy with minimal distance.

Luo Xingwen's eyes lit up suddenly, "What exquisite movement techniques! You're truly a master!"

"Manager Luo, I'm here to collect my mission for this year. I wonder what kind of missions our Lingxu Sword Sect has?"

"Master Crane Shadow, you've finally arrived! I was just thinking today whether I should go to Cloud Mist Peak to find you myself."

Luo Xingwen was respectful.

"Are you Heying?"

Suddenly, a voice interrupted from the side. It was a male sword cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core realm, with a Guiyi Sword Pavilion sign hanging from his waist. He was looking at Jiang Yi with surprise.

Jiang Heying appeared in the Internal Affairs Hall, so where is Chu Feng from their Sword Pavilion?
He'd only been gone for less than half an hour, and he'd already been defeated? Impossible!

Or did we miss out?
　See you tomorrow~
