Chapter 402 Defeating the Enemy in One Strike! A Thousand Miles of Tides! (510)

"clang--"

The intense clanging of metal against metal was like thunder from the heavens, echoing wildly throughout the entire Soul Guidance Device Trial Grounds, causing countless students with lower cultivation levels to experience a buzzing in their eardrums and a churning of their blood.

At the impact center, a terrifying shockwave raged and spread, causing the hard, special alloy ground to crack inch by inch, collapsing downwards like a fragile biscuit, forming a massive spiderweb-like crater over thirty meters in diameter, which continued to spread outwards. The air in the core area was distorted and unstable, with faint, dark traces of spatial tearing visible, a truly horrifying sight.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, two figures gradually came into focus.

Lin You remained standing in the same spot, his right fist, covered in dazzling golden light, hanging slightly, his expression calm, as if the earth-shattering blow just now was merely a casual swing. However, one could see that Lin You's eyes were somewhat dazed, as if he had entered some special state.

On the other side, Ji Juechen staggered back seven or eight steps, each step leaving deep footprints in the cracked ground.

A deep, bone-revealing wound had split open at the base of his right hand, where he gripped the sword, and blood was gushing out, staining the rough meteorite iron hilt red.

What alarmed him even more was that his entire arm was trembling violently and uncontrollably, as if he had Parkinson's disease, and even gripping the sword blank that had been with him for many years had become difficult.

“How…is this possible…” Ji Juechen stared blankly at his trembling arm, then suddenly looked up at Lin You, his eyes filled with disbelief and shock.

His physical body withstood the full force of the attack, which incorporated the cultivation of a Soul Emperor and the ultimate sword intent, and not only was he unharmed, but he was also knocked back and injured.
But that wasn't the most shocking thing for him.

What truly made him tremble and even made his soul shudder was the aura that suddenly erupted from Lin You!

At the moment of impact, he clearly felt that Lin You's aura, which was originally somewhat immature and merely "powerful," suddenly underwent a qualitative change!
It was a kind of grandeur and vastness that could not be described in words! If Ji Juechen's sword intent was the ultimate sharpness, the "sharpness" that condensed into a single point and cleaved through the stars, then the "momentum" that Lin You was showing at this moment was the "breadth" and "truth" that encompassed all things, nurtured everything, and dominated reality!
It was as if his sword strike had not been aimed at a young boy, but at the boundless sky, the solid earth, and the endless, surging ocean!

Faced with this oppressive force that seemed to represent the very origin of the material world, his invincible sword intent was like a stone thrown into the ocean, unable to even create a decent ripple!
This feeling made even his proud swordsmanship tremble uncontrollably.

What is this? What kind of power is this?
In the stands, Jing Ziyan was already so shocked that she covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes wide open.

She knew how powerful Ji Juechen's sword was, but she never expected Lin You's counterattack to be even more unbelievable!
Jing Hongchen's pupils shrank sharply as he stared intently at Lin You, his mind in turmoil.

That aura, that overwhelming pressure that seemed to resonate with heaven and earth, even made him, a Title Douluo, feel a slight tremor in his heart! What exactly has this young man comprehended?!

However, Ji Juechen is still Ji Juechen.

He was a sword fanatic, born for the sword, and obsessed with the sword.

After a brief moment of shock, the deep-seated tremor did not make him back down; instead, it acted like the strongest fuel, instantly igniting an even more ferocious fighting spirit deep within him!

"Good! Good! Good!"

The dim light in Ji Juechen's eyes shone again, a burning intensity that seemed to ignite his very life! Even with his arm injured, even with blood streaming from his hand, even with his opponent's overwhelming power, his sword would never falter!
I am the sword, my heart is the sword!
The next instant, Ji Juechen's figure vanished from the spot.

Instead of leaping upwards or dodging backwards, it transformed into a strange beam of light that clung to the ground, hurtling towards Lin You at a speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye!

Without the aid of a soul tool, this is purely the ultimate speed unleashed by the combination of physical body and soul power, reaching the extreme! Even a speed-attack type soul master of the same level would probably be slightly inferior in terms of explosive power at this moment.

The light glided as fast as lightning, but strangely, Ji Juechen's upper body movements appeared unusually slow.

He gripped the blood-stained meteorite iron sword blank tightly with both hands, and as his body charged forward at high speed, he slowly rotated in an extremely slow and composed manner, sweeping the sword horizontally.

This simple sweeping motion, when used by him, seemed to carry immense power; every subtle change in angle was filled with an indescribable rhythm and sense of strength.

The entire movement was like struggling through a viscous liquid, yet it was incredibly smooth and fluid, completed in one go without any hesitation.

He poured almost all his burning energy and spirit into this sword strike without reservation! This was the strongest sword strike he could unleash at the moment!
Faced with this strike that perfectly combined speed and slowness, containing extreme explosive power and heavy sword intent, Lin You's eyes, which had just experienced an epiphany and were shining with the light of enlightenment, opened again.

This time, he didn't choose to confront it head-on; the golden light covering his arm quietly dissipated. He took a deep breath.

hum~
Strange fluctuations radiated outwards from him.

In an instant, Lin You seemed to become somewhat transparent, and ripples like water spread across his body, emanating a gentle yet vast aura.

Hydrogenation! Oxygenation!
The two most basic elements, under his will, merged perfectly to form water, the source of life.

It's not simply about summoning water; it's about temporarily transforming its own form into a state where countless water molecules aggregate!
In an instant, the entire training ground seemed to become damp.

A faint mist filled the air, and fine water droplets even condensed on the edges of the cracked pits on the ground.

Even more surprisingly, the clear sound of waves crashing could be heard faintly in everyone's ears.

Wow... Wow...

It was as if they were not in the training grounds of an inland city, but on the shore of a turbulent blue sea!

In Ji Juechen's eyes, the world had changed.

The figure rapidly approaching had already vanished from sight.

Instead, there is a boundless, surging blue ocean.

Huge waves surged and roared, white foam churning and crashing against him with the will of the sea, wave after wave, endlessly!

Even though Lin You was standing there without moving an inch, Ji Juechen felt that his attack trajectory was being constantly interfered with and pulled by an invisible force. Each slap of the wave contained a supple yet powerful force, and with each pull and tug, even his sword momentum, which had been condensed to its extreme, showed a slight, almost imperceptible delay.

In a contest between masters, a slight difference can lead to a huge error.

Lin You instantly caught that slight hesitation.

Ji Juechen felt as if his heavy sword strike had struck empty air, or as if it had struck cotton.

The sword easily cleaved the "waves" in two, yet it felt as if it had gained no real advantage.

Just as his sword strike faltered slightly, even more "waves" rushed in from both sides, like countless soft yet powerful hands, constantly slapping against his sword and his protective soul power.

Wow! Wow! Wow!
Lin You's arms transformed into countless illusory afterimages. Each strike brought forth a clear sound of waves, and each collision precisely eroded the sharp sword intent condensed on Ji Juechen's sword.

Like water dripping through stone, like waves polishing reefs.

Ji Juechen felt his sword intent being worn down and disintegrated at an alarming speed under the opponent's seemingly gentle but actually continuous and all-pervasive attacks.

Finally, as the last trace of sharpness dissipated from the sword tip, Ji Juechen's earth-shattering sword strike silently stopped three inches in front of Lin You, unable to advance any further.

The ripples and sounds of the tides around Lin You gradually subsided. He withdrew his hands, which had moved as fast as a phantom, and returned to a calm standing posture.

Ji Juechen gripped his sword, his arm still trembling slightly, but the fighting spirit burning in his eyes had been extinguished, replaced by a blank and bitter expression.

He was silent for a moment, then asked in a hoarse voice, "What... kind of move is this?"

Lin You looked at him, thought about it seriously, and replied, "Thousand-mile tide."
