Dao Seed Immortal Lord

He initially passed on the Great Spring and Autumn Sword Technique to Li Bai simply to give Li Bai an extra means of self-defense so that he wouldn't suffer losses during the subsequent introductory trials.

But he never expected that this kid had cultivated the Spring Sword to such a level!

Moreover, he comprehended the sword intent!

That's sword intent!

I've been cultivating for so many years, but I still haven't even touched the threshold of sword intent!

"This kid..."

Chen Hexian shook his head with a wry smile, his heart filled with shock and bitterness.

On the other dueling platform, Su Wan'er also ended her match decisively.

Her opponent was a veteran spirit plant master at the third level of Qi Refining Realm, with numerous methods and rich experience.

But none of these were of any use against Su Wan'er's ice magic.

"Ice Spell!"

With a soft shout, Su Wan'er unleashed her ice-based magical power.

The entire dueling platform instantly transformed into a frozen wasteland, with a biting chill sweeping across all directions.

Su Wan'er unleashed her full magical power, freezing her opponent in place before she could react, and then she pushed him off the dueling platform with a palm strike.

It was crisp, efficient, and without any hesitation.

Another gasp rang out from the audience.

"Su Wan'er is too strong! She truly deserves to be called a genius with an ice-elemental root!"

"Who could withstand such icy magic? Every opponent who faced her was instantly frozen in mid-air!"

"The final is Li Bai versus Su Wan'er? Wow, one a sword prodigy, the other an ice spirit root genius, this is going to be a good show!"

"Although Li Bai's strength seems quite good, and his swordsmanship is simply terrifying, he's only at the second level of the Qi Refining Realm. Can he withstand Su Wan'er's icy magic? Will he also be frozen in one move?"

The surrounding apprentices and plant masters were discussing it animatedly, and there were even some disputes.

However, even though Li Bai's swordsmanship was too strange, neither Zhao Yuanqi nor Jiang Yunhe could withstand a single blow from him.

However, facing the monstrous Su Wan'er, most people still felt that Su Wan'er had a greater chance of winning this battle.

On the high platform.

One of the stewards, his eyes darting around, whispered to Yuan Hong, "Old Yuan, how about we make a bet? Who will have the last laugh in the final competition?"

"If you win, I'll give you my precious plant that I've nurtured for decades. If I win, you'll give me that little guy."

The others' expressions changed slightly upon hearing this, and they glared at the manager, saying, "Are you crazy? Betting that thing?"

The old steward proudly said, "We may not have much else, but we have this one treasure that Old Yuan is envious of."

Yuan Hong glanced at him, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, "Then let's bet. I bet that kid will have the last laugh."

The old steward was secretly pleased and clapped his hands, saying, "Good, I bet that girl will win."

"Hahaha, Old Yuan, you know that girl's background all along, yet you still bet on that kid to win? You're seriously underestimating the power of the Ice Spirit Root!"

"Once that ice spell was unleashed, although that kid was quite strong, he was only at the second level of the Qi Refining Realm. How could he possibly withstand it? Once frozen by the ice magic, he couldn't even move, let alone draw his sword."

The old steward shook his head slightly, somewhat smugly saying, "Old Yuan, you're going to be in trouble this time."

"Not necessarily." Yuan Hong remained calm, his gaze fixed on the dueling platform.

Su Wan'er stepped down from the dueling platform, her gaze falling on Li Bai on the opposite platform, a hint of seriousness flashing in her beautiful eyes.

She witnessed the sword strike by which Li Bai defeated Jiang Yunhe.

The Great Spring and Autumn Sword Technique, a single sword strike imbued with sword intent...

This opponent is very strong.

"In the final, Li Bai will face Su Wan'er."

After a short half-hour break, the atmosphere reached its peak when the manager announced the finalists.

Everyone gathered around the largest dueling platform in the center, eagerly anticipating the outcome.

On the dueling platform, Su Wan'er wore a moon-white Taoist robe, her clothes fluttering, and her whole body was filled with an icy aura, even the bluestone ground beneath her feet was covered with a thin layer of frost.

Her expression was icy cold as she looked at Li Bai opposite her, her beautiful eyes filled with solemnity.

"You are very strong, and your talent is also incredible, to be able to master such powerful swordsmanship."

She spoke slowly, her voice cold and clear, "So I will go all out."

"I have only just mastered this spell and it is not yet stable. Please forgive me if I hurt you."

Li Bai nodded slightly, his gaze towards Su Wan'er also revealing a hint of solemnity.

This one possesses a mutated ice spirit root and cultivates top-tier ice-based spells, whose power far surpasses that of Zhao Yuanqi and Jiang Yunhe.

"Senior sister, please give me your guidance," he said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

Su Wan'er nodded and said no more.

"The competition begins!"

No sooner had the steward finished speaking than Su Wan'er moved.

She formed hand seals, unleashing her full power of ice-based magic. A chilling aura erupted from her, causing the temperature of the entire dueling platform to plummet.

"A frozen world!"

With a clear shout, an ice cloud materialized above the dueling platform, and countless ice crystals fell from it, instantly transforming the area into a snowy wonderland.

The ground, the air, and even the spiritual energy were frozen by this chill, and the entire dueling platform seemed to have turned into an icy cage, enveloping Li Bai within it.

This is Su Wan'er's top-tier ice-walking spell, which she has kept hidden away. Although she has only just begun to learn it, its power is already extremely terrifying.

The spiritual plant masters watching from below the stage all gasped in astonishment.

"Holy crap, this spell has a huge range!"

"The entire dueling arena is frozen solid, how can Li Bai possibly fight?"

"No matter how skilled his swordsmanship is, he still needs to be able to get close. In this freezing weather, he can't even move!"

Despite the icy landscape, Li Bai remained unmoved.

He could feel his body being frozen by frost, the cold chilling him to the bone, and his entire body seemed to have lost all sensation.

However, Li Bai remained unmoved.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Deep within his mind, the Sword Heart Dao Seed was fully activated, its brilliant light illuminating the entire sea of ​​consciousness.

That clear sword intent flowed within him, merging with him as one.

Then, he opened his eyes.

"Buzz!"

An indescribable, terrifying sword aura erupted from his body, as if ten thousand swords were soaring through the air, tearing everything apart.

"Bang!"

The ice that sealed Li Bai's body shattered instantly, being shredded into frost and dust by the sharpness of the sword.

At that very moment, Li Bai drew his sword with two fingers and slashed at Su Wan'er.

Spring Sword Technique!

This sword strike brings spring to the plants and trees, and revives all things.

A vibrant spring scene unfolds amidst the ice and snow, like a gentle and warm ray of sunshine in winter.

Exquisitely beautiful, without a trace of murderous intent.

But the moment that springtime feeling collided with the icy snow.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle.

Countless tiny sword energies weaved through the spring air, like a continuous spring rain, penetrating every nook and cranny!

The ice crystals shattered, the chill dissipated, and the icy cage crumbled inch by inch under the erosion of spring, forced to retreat step by step!

Su Wan'er's expression changed drastically, and she exerted all her magical power in an attempt to maintain the icy world.

But the warmth of spring lingered and continued, and her icy world shattered completely in less than two breaths.

A streak of turquoise sword light shot out from the spring scenery, as fast as lightning, and struck Su Wan'er!
