I became a Sword Emperor in the Martial Arts World

Chapter 104 Ultimate Sword Skill

buzz~

Ye Qingzhou's unyielding body began to emit a low, rumbling sound, like the sound of thunder. This was the profound meaning of mountain formations that he had comprehended from the sword moves of the bronze giant statue, a high-level martial art called Aftershock.

Through the circulation of these shockwaves within his body, Ye Qingzhou was able to repeatedly cleanse his meridians and marrow, thereby enhancing the strength of his martial bones.

Such advanced body-tempering martial arts techniques are priceless and invaluable!

"That's a huge profit!"

Having gained another secret technique for free, Ye Qingzhou was overjoyed: "This trip was truly worthwhile."

Afterwards, Ye Qingzhou tried a few more times and found that the enhancement effect brought by slashing the bronze statue of the third city gate was getting weaker and weaker.

Continuing would be a waste of time and not worth the effort.

So Ye Qingzhou turned around and left, heading towards the fourth city gate.

Seeing Ye Qingzhou leave, Huang Dengfeng, who had been waiting anxiously for a long time after passing through two city gates, couldn't wait to step forward and enter the area of ​​the third city gate.

"Ye Qingzhou has been repeatedly beaten; he must have discovered some secret."

Huang Dengfeng had an idea. Holding the golden spear, he used the mid-level Mountain Stance Martial Technique, Rock Defense, to directly block the slash from the bronze statue.

Ding~

The two swords came at once, but Huang Dengfeng blocked them steadily with his spear. However, the shockwave still made his hands go numb, his blood surge, and his internal organs feel as if they had been hit by a heavy punch.

"What the hell is this?"

Huang Dengfeng almost spat out a mouthful of blood; his body felt like it had fallen apart, and he didn't recover for a long time.

"That Ye Qingzhou guy actually withstood over a hundred of those attacks? Is he a monster?!"

Some things seem effortless and easy when you watch others do them.

When it was actually my turn, I realized just how incredibly difficult it was.

Soon, Huang Dengfeng adjusted his breathing and regained some of his strength.

He stepped back into the bronze colossus's attack range, gritting his teeth as he activated his defensive stance: "Ye Qingzhou wouldn't be so bored; he definitely benefited from the colossus's attack!"

Ding~

After two more stabs, Huang Dengfeng knelt on one knee, cold sweat pouring down his body.

This time, he withstood the blow again, but his injuries were even more severe.

Meanwhile, on the periphery, the crowd, witnessing this scene, began to discuss it again.

"Has Huang Dengfeng started going crazy too?"

"Do they all enjoy getting beaten up that much?"

"Tsk tsk, Huang Dengfeng is no good, he's already kneeling down? He seems far inferior to Ye Qingzhou. Wasn't he supposed to be a master of mountain formations? How come he's so weak?"

"Huang Dengfeng's cooking? If you're so good, you go try it. You probably can't even get past the second city gate."

"It's not that Huang Dengfeng is bad, it's that Ye Qingzhou is too strong."

At this moment, Huang Dengfeng was burning with anxiety and had no time to care about what others thought. His eyes shone with a frightening light, and he was secretly very pleased with himself: "Hahaha, so that's how it is!"

He could feel the tendons and bones in his body, which had become much stronger.

Compared to the physique honed by Ye Qingzhou's perfect mountain form, his cultivation level was obviously much lower. However, precisely because of this, the effects of the aftershocks on strengthening his tendons and bones were even more pronounced.

After two rounds of slashes, the strength of his tendons and bones increased by nearly 10%.

This is already a huge improvement!

"No wonder Ye Qingzhou was repeatedly beaten; it turns out he was using the bronze giant's strikes to temper his physique."

Upon realizing this, Huang Dengfeng immediately sat down to regulate his breathing and recover his strength and injuries as quickly as possible.

He had already made up his mind to stay in this choke point and take the beating.

The two bronze statues launched a slash that had the same effect as his months of arduous training, strengthening his tendons and bones.

If that's the case, then why bother leaving?

Even if he fails this time and loses his chance to enter Lingyun Cave, Huang Dengfeng will not hesitate.

After all, entering Lingyun Cave Heaven is really just like buying a lottery ticket, trying your luck. If you don't find anything good, you might as well stay here and get beaten up.

At least in the immovable fortified city, the progress he made was real.

From a young age, his parents taught him to always do things he was confident in.

Zhang Shousi stormed through the second city gate and stood before Huang Dengfeng: "You madman, what are you up to now?"

Huang Dengfeng naturally wouldn't reveal the secret of Yi Jin Jian Gu (a type of internal energy cultivation technique). He gave Zhang Shousi a cold smile: "Fourth brother, don't overthink it. I'm tired, so it's perfectly reasonable for me to sit down and rest, isn't it?"

Zhang Shousi looked at him with disdain and said sarcastically, "You're the kind of guy who won't do anything without a profit. Don't I know you?"

Unfortunately, Huang Dengfeng refused to say anything, and Zhang Shousi was helpless.

On the other side, Ye Qingzhou easily passed through the remaining two city gates. His physical strength increased by about twice as much again, and his aura became more solid and heavy, as immovable as a mountain.

With a flash of white light, Ye Qingzhou was teleported to the fourth level, the Mountain of Knives and Forest of Swords.

What comes into view are five steep and majestic mountain peaks, as well as a dense forest.

The rules for this level are that you can only use the forest terrain to climb to the top of the mountain. You will get 1 point for each mountain you successfully climb.

Of course, the test isn't about mountain climbing, but rather the test-taker's skill in applying the techniques.

Amidst the forest of blades and swords, there will be swift blades transformed from flying leaves and rapid swords thrust out from vines. Trial participants cannot dodge, nor can they rely on their physical strength to withstand the attacks. Instead, they must use skill to deflect and parry, defending against every attack.

"interesting."

Ye Qingzhou was eager to try it out; his greatest confidence in his life was in his swordsmanship.

This assessment method suited him perfectly.

Ye Qingzhou stepped onto the first mountain peak.

huh~

The flying leaf transformed into a swift blade, shooting towards Ye Qingzhou like a sharp dagger, aiming to pierce him through the heart.

Clang~

Ye Qingzhou drew his famous sword, Xuanjian, and with a single stroke, he cut down the flying leaf. Then, he cleaved a thorny vine in two. With unhurried steps, he successfully reached the top of the first mountain.

As the challenge continued, the number of flying leaf blades and vine swords attacking became increasingly larger, with the frequency of attacks constantly increasing. On the last mountain peak, dozens of attacks came at once, from all directions, making it impossible to defend against them.

Forest growth, grafting!

Ye Qingzhou immediately brandished his sword and displayed his martial arts skills.

As the sword light swirled, streaks of sword shadows transformed into wings, drawing a perfect arc in mid-air.

Ye Qingzhou's swordsmanship had long since transcended the ordinary, reaching the peak of the Transcendent Realm, and he wielded it with complete ease. At this moment, he was coordinating with Lin Zhi's breathing, pushing his swordsmanship skills to their ultimate limit.

With a turn of the sword, the flying leaves and vines were also deflected and redirected, creating a series of chain reactions.

The deflected leaves collided with other leaves, causing even more leaves to change trajectory, just as the vines attacked like rapiers.

Just like dominoes, when one domino falls, it triggers the fall of many more.

As the game progressed, Ye Qingzhou became increasingly skilled, effortlessly deflecting dozens of flying leaves and vines that attacked from around him with a mere flick of his wrist, demonstrating his ultimate swordsmanship and earning him a perfect score once again.
