You call this the way of the sword?

After being deeply shocked by Yang Qingfeng, Yun Sheng was forced to think a lot. In the end, she decisively opened the Divine Communication Talisman and found a long-dormant name in the communication bar.

Liu Changge.

Looking at the name, Yun Sheng took a deep breath to calm herself down.

When she opened her eyes again, her gaze was sharp yet filled with awe, as if she were seeing the great idol she had been striving to emulate.

After calming down and contemplating for a moment, Yun Sheng abandoned the idea of ​​transmitting her voice and instead used her finger as a pen and her magic power as ink to write in front of her while reciting: "Reporting to General Yang Qingfeng, Yang Qingfeng has conquered the Ghost King's Secret Realm on his own... My evaluation is excellent."

As soon as she wrote the word "excellent," Yun Sheng frowned and turned to look.

At this moment, Yang Qingfeng in the scene has begun to act like a monster, bombarding the ghost soldier legion relentlessly.

Yun Sheng hesitated for a moment, then erased the word "excellent" and rewrote it: "My evaluation is extraordinary."

Yun Sheng couldn't find a better word than "extraordinary" to describe Yang Qingfeng.

To say it's excellent is too superficial, and to say it's perfect is a bit hasty.

Although it was just a battle, as a test personally given by the Pillar General, it cannot be viewed in an ordinary way; it should be regarded as a military assessment.

By military standards, Yun Sheng felt that Yang Qingfeng's performance in this battle far exceeded excellent.

The challenge involved taking on opponents of higher levels, employing individual strategies, utilizing skills, reacting to crises, defeating the Ghost King's personal guards one by one, having a backup plan against the Lesser Ghost Kings, and maintaining a high level of vigilance until the very end of the battle.

Yang Qingfeng clearly possesses combat prowess, decision-making ability, command skills, and so on. Moreover, he is only sixteen years old this year and is a newly promoted cultivator who has just begun his cultivation.

Because of this, Yun Sheng also noticed many problems.

Yang Qingfeng is new to the field and lacks a deep understanding of challenging opponents of higher levels, which may indicate that he is being overconfident.

His strength in skills highlights his own vulnerability. If it weren't for his decisiveness and ability to adapt to changing circumstances, he would have been defeated or even killed when surrounded by the Ghost King's personal guards.

Ultimately, Yang Qingfeng is just a newly promoted cultivator, so it's normal for him to have flaws. But don't forget that he's in the Ghost King's Secret Realm, where even the slightest mistake could undo all his previous efforts.

This is just like being on a battlefield, where you can't afford to make even the slightest mistake.

Yun Sheng had reason to believe that the Pillar General deliberately created such a harsh environment to test Yang Qingfeng, giving him a choice between advancing or retreating.

If you retreat knowing the difficulty of the Ghost King's Secret Realm, then all your efforts will be in vain.

Facing challenges head-on demonstrates the basic qualities a soldier should possess.

"Perhaps... he had already passed the test from the moment he chose to take on the challenge."

Yun Sheng murmured to herself, feeling that Yang Qingfeng would definitely go to the battlefield of the five races in the future and become her comrade-in-arms. If he were personally trained by the Pillar General, he might even become a sharp blade for the human race.

Explosions echoed continuously within the Ghost King's Secret Realm.

Ghost soldiers were dying in droves.

They were blown to pieces, with severed limbs and blood splattered everywhere.

Black energy and spiritual energy appeared simultaneously as they exploded, with each ghost soldier bursting out in two wisps, creating a spectacular scene of interwoven energy that left people in awe.

Yang Qingfeng had already left the clock tower and headed out of the town.

With the infusion of abundant spiritual energy, his entire body glowed, and his experience points skyrocketed.

The sword spirits led the way for him, each sword strike killing several ghost soldiers. The ghost soldiers' corpses, weapons, armor plates, and even the splattered blood and pebbles became his 'swords'.

The Sword Explosion Technique does not require consuming magical power, nor does it require detonating a real sword. As long as it is an unclaimed object and Yang Qingfeng's will can sustain it, it can be detonated.

Why?

What is the reason behind such an extraordinary feat?

Yang Qingfeng didn't understand, and was too lazy to investigate further.

Faced with a continuous surge in experience, Yang Qingfeng transformed into a ruthless killing machine, his gaze fixed on the blade, and wherever his sword pointed, a deafening roar resounded.

At this moment, the Sword Master's power was revealed. Even the Sword Souls, who moved like the wind and thunder and seemed to have the demeanor of a grandmaster, could no longer cover up the Sword Master's brilliance and even became his foils.

Yang Qingfeng himself also gained a lot of insights from the exhilarating sword explosion.

In the continuous process of controlling the sword, he repeatedly experienced the chaos caused by multiple swords, especially when multiple flying swords began to drift erratically and the sword explosions became inaccurate. He gradually realized his own shortcomings.

"Because of the passive bonus of [Sword Control], sword control has become my instinct, which made me mistakenly believe that I no longer need to practice, but that is not the case."

"Controlling a single sword doesn't require much practice, but controlling multiple swords involves other aspects, such as my mental strength. Sword control has become my instinct, and I can easily control multiple swords. The difficulty lies in distributing my mental strength and will to each sword."

"The highest level of multi-sword mastery is truly achieving multitasking..."

After realizing his own shortcomings, Yang Qingfeng's gaze darkened as he looked at the ever-surging ghost soldiers.

He sheathed his sword and controlled it with his mind. Dozens of severed limbs rose up as swords within his sight, each finding its corresponding target.

Yang Qingfeng tried to control the sword, wanting to give each one a precise target. However, before he could finish the task, veins began to throb on his forehead, and he clearly felt that he was losing his strength.

In the end, only half of the dozens of swords hit their target; the rest exploded and disappeared without a trace.

However, Yang Qingfeng was not troubled by this. On the contrary, his eyes gleamed and he muttered to himself, "It's good that it's difficult. It means that I'm in the right direction. All I need to do now is keep practicing."

The roars continued unabated as countless ghost soldiers, their eyes bloodshot, charged forward relentlessly.

The Ghost King unleashed his skills on them before the event ended, triggering the secret realm mechanism.

During this uprising, they became even more bloodthirsty and insane, but in doing so, they completely lost their legionary structure, becoming a rabble that could only howl and scream.

What awaited them were streaks of deadly sword light and terrifying sword explosions. Even if they managed to break through the sword spirit's defenses, a small spirit sword was still waiting for them.

Just as a sword that can instantly kill ghost soldiers can do the same with a sword that is also affected by cultivation level, a spirit sword can do the same. Moreover, the spirit sword moves faster, making it almost an instant kill.

Thanks to this, Yang Qingfeng was no longer surprised by the damage from the Sword Explosion, but he still didn't know how much actual cultivation level Dao Xing represented.

This issue involves both Sword Explosion and Spirit Sword, so Yang Qingfeng had to take it seriously and thought he would consult his teacher when he got back.

Half a day later.

The battlefield was littered with corpses, and black smoke filled the sky.

As the last ghost soldier was instantly killed by the spirit sword, the entire world fell silent.

Yang Qingfeng immediately returned to town to check on the little ghost king's condition, but the result disappointed him somewhat.

At the current rate of accumulation of the black gas, it will take at least three days to return to normal.

"It's alright, we can come back in three days."

"If I'm lucky, I can collect both pieces of the Ghost King's jewelry if I try again, which would be a perfect ending."

The Little Ghost King did not revive, and the ghost soldiers had all been killed. Yang Qingfeng, like a scoundrel who would turn on his enemies in a second, did not hesitate at all and simply flew away on his sword.

There are no other exits from the Ghost King's Secret Realm.

It goes in the same way it goes out.

Just as Yang Qingfeng was about to fly over the mountains, he suddenly saw Dong Guangnian shouting from a mountaintop.

"Junior Brother Yang, wait! There's an ambush outside!!"
