Douluo Continent has a system, but I don't want to use it.

Chapter 231 Verifying Strength

It can be said that after the martial soul transforms into a blade embryo, the martial soul, which was originally considered to have reached the peak of its own growth potential, instantly becomes a seedling that has just begun to grow.

It's like going back from your prime at forty to your youth at eighteen. And it's a youth with even greater potential for growth.

Furthermore, because her essence, energy, and spirit had undergone a transformation, they had become more refined. This also allowed Qiu Fengyan to perceive the laws of heaven and earth more clearly.

This will greatly benefit Qiu Fengyan's future cultivation. It can be said that this transformation not only enhanced Qiu Fengyan's strength, but also solidified her foundation and increased her potential.

Since Fang Tian and A Yin had both recovered from their injuries, Qiu Fengyan wanted to spar with Fang Tian to determine her own strength level.

"Fang Tian, ​​it's been a long time since we sparred. I've just completed my transformation, so let's test our skills. I also want to know how much of a gap there is between us now." Qiu Fengyan said to Fang Tian, ​​revealing her intentions.

"Hmm! That's fine. A large part of strength is reflected in combat power. It's good to verify it through battle. Also, I want to know your true strength. That way, I'll have a better understanding when making arrangements in the future."

Fang Tian naturally agreed with Qiu Fengyan's words and also laid out his own considerations.

"Let's go then, to the depths of space, to avoid harming innocents. After all, this is a planet inhabited by life." After saying this, Qiu Fengyan took the lead and left the secluded place where the three of them had stayed for a long time. She teleported to the outside of the planet.

Seeing that Qiu Fengyan had already left the planet, Fang Tian and A Yin also concealed themselves and teleported out of this life-bearing planet.

Realizing the importance of the teleportation skill, which is extremely convenient for both offense and retreat, Ah Yin also inscribed a teleportation rune.

Moreover, since Ah Yin's realm is at the God Emperor level, she understood the teleportation rune and its function almost immediately after it was engraved.

So at this moment, Ah Yin followed Fang Tian and followed Qiu Fengyan's aura to the outside of the planet.

"Fang Tian, ​​A Yan! You two start. I'll back you up." A Yin said with a smile to Fang Tian and Qiu Fengyan.

Ah Yin was filled with interest as she watched Fang Tian and Qiu Fengyan fight.

Since he had known Fang Tian, ​​he had never seen Fang Tian and Qiu Fengyan fight before; this was definitely the first time. Naturally, Ah Yin was extremely interested in this first encounter.

Fang Tian and Qiu Fengyan didn't need to resort to any fancy tricks. Firstly, they already knew each other quite well, so there was no need to use any schemes.

The two can tell what the other is thinking with just one glance, which means they are completely transparent to each other, rendering any schemes useless.

Secondly, Qiu Fengyan wanted to test his true strength, so how could he test it with a scheme?

Therefore, the battle between Fang Tian and Qiu Fengyan was a direct head-on clash.

Fearing that he might hurt Qiu Fengyan, Fang Tian limited his own strength to the peak of the God King level based on his perception of Qiu Fengyan's strength.

Qiu Fengyan immediately unleashed his Goose Feather Blade. At this moment, the Goose Feather Blade's appearance remained largely unchanged.

However, the spirit ring that was originally embedded in the blade is gone, completely integrated into the blade and becoming one with the Goose Feather Blade.

This indicates that the Body Transformation Technique has completely transcended the Soul Ring system. It is a more advanced cultivation method that can reach even greater heights.

After meeting Fang Tian, ​​Qiu Fengyan focused on speed, and the first thing to be verified was her progress in speed.

Qiu Fengyan unleashed her Nine Palaces Blade Steps, honed over many years, instantly splitting into nine. Combined with the constantly appearing and disappearing afterimages, an area within a three-kilometer radius was instantly filled with Qiu Fengyan's figures.

The moment the phantom appeared, Qiu Fengyan and Liu Ye moved towards Fang Tian.

The reason Qiu Fengyan didn't use teleportation here is because Fang Tian also possesses this ability. Moreover, Fang Tian's control over the laws of space is superior to Qiu Fengyan's.

If Qiu Fengyan were to teleport to Fang Tian's side at that moment, Fang Tian would be able to determine Qiu Fengyan's landing point the instant the spatial fluctuations occurred.

Fang Tian could then wait for Qiu Fengyan to appear and subdue her the moment she appeared. Therefore, if Qiu Fengyan used her teleportation skill at this time, it would be like walking into a trap.

Seeing Qiu Fengyan attack with the Nine Palaces Blade Step, Fang Tian also began to respond with the same Nine Palaces Blade Step.

Moreover, for each of Qiu Fengyan's illusions and clones, there was a corresponding illusion and clone of Fang Tian. Meanwhile, the two's true forms constantly moved between the illusions and clones, searching for each other's weaknesses.

At this moment, Qiu Fengyan could clearly feel that her speed had almost doubled compared to before. She could now match the speed at which Fang Tian had suppressed his strength to the God-King level.

Although there were many phantoms in the arena, there was no sound of weapons clashing.

Those who follow a speed-based playstyle use their speed to overwhelm their enemies and then strike their vitals directly. The goal is to kill with a single blow!

What's needed is more skill, not just a contest of strength.

Therefore, unless an opportunity arises, they generally won't make a move.

Moreover, the Nine Palaces Blade Step aims for maximum power in the first strike.

As for a full-force attack that concentrates all one's energy and spirit, it is never used when sparring with one's own people.

Of course, the Nine Palaces Blade Step also has another application. It involves abandoning the idea of ​​a one-hit kill and instead using one's speed and techniques to force the enemy to reveal weaknesses before striking.

This method involves gradually weakening the enemy by bleeding them out, and then finally killing them. This method demands a higher level of swordsmanship.

Fang Tian and Qiu Fengyan's fighting styles require a high level of footwork.

Neither method is inherently superior; the choice depends on individual circumstances.

The best thing is what suits you best!

Fang Tian and Qiu Fengyan seemed to be performing a pantomime, sparring for two minutes. To outsiders, they merely strolled around the arena leisurely, using the same footwork as they were doing.

But only the two of them could truly understand the thrill and excitement involved. Of course, Ah Yin, who had been watching from the sidelines and had practiced the Nine Palaces Sword Steps, also deeply understood the experience.

Although Fang Tian and Qiu Fengyan wouldn't actually kill each other, if they let their guard down because of this, they would have already lost!

After verifying their speed, Fang Tian and Qiu Fengyan stopped. Qiu Fengyan, who had been concentrating all her energy on the fight, was now sweating profusely.

Although Fang Tian didn't break a sweat during the fight, he did let out a long sigh of relief after stopping.

There's no need to have someone verify the maximum attack power. There are plenty of uninhabited planets in the universe.

Fang Tian and his two companions then used teleportation to move to an uninhabited planet in space. They planned to test their strongest attack power there.
