call out! !
Suddenly, a whooshing sound came from the air. Gu Han's eyes sharpened, and he turned around and swung his sword horizontally.
Ding! !
With a crisp sound, a golden petal-shaped blade was slashed away.
The blade was quite powerful. Although Gu Han managed to block it, his arm felt slightly numb. For a moment, he almost lost his grip on the sword.
"Crack, snap, snap!"
"Not bad, not bad, quite vigilant, and quite strong as well."
As applause rang out, Yue Guan slowly emerged from behind a tree; the golden throwing knife he had just thrown was his doing.
He spent the entire night meditating and didn't sleep. He noticed Gu Han leaving the room early this morning and followed him out.
Seeing Gu Han's superb swordsmanship, he couldn't help but want to test him. Although he didn't use his full strength, he didn't aim directly at his opponent.
But his attack was capable of killing a Soul King, and Gu Han, a Soul Venerable, actually deflected it with a single sword strike, which surprised him quite a bit.
Thinking of the effects of the herb and whale glue, Yue Guan felt it made sense.
Moreover, judging from the sword strike that Gu Han just displayed, after acquiring a soul ring, the opponent's soul power level might directly reach that of a high-level Soul Master, and wouldn't be far from becoming a Soul Grandmaster.
As the flying knife approached, Gu Han clearly saw its appearance and recognized it as being formed from the petals of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum. He was not too surprised by Yue Guan's arrival.
With the sword tip pointing downwards, he clasped his hands in a fist and gave a slight bow.
"Thank you for the compliment, Uncle Ju. I still have a long way to go."
"Haha, it's far from that. Let me try it out."
Yue Guan also had the intention of testing him, wanting to see if Gu Han, this young sword genius, had some of Chen Xin's style.
Chen Xin is more than ten years older than Yue Guan. He is already a level 93 Title Douluo. With the Seven Kill Sword, the strongest attack spirit in the entire continent, he can even fight and defeat a level 95 Title Douluo.
As for level 96, that level cannot be bridged by the difference in soul power alone. You might be able to fight, but you would lose very quickly.
Because once a Soul Master reaches level 96, the difference between each subsequent level is like a ladder to heaven, each level representing a different realm, which cannot be crossed.
Now that he could actually see the youthful charm of Chen Xin in Gu Han, he had the idea to test the waters.
"Then I would appreciate your guidance, Uncle Ju."
Gu Han readily agreed to the test initiated by a high-level Soul Douluo, or even a powerhouse comparable to a regular Title Douluo.
After consuming the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum martial soul, Yue Guan not only gained an increase in soul power, but also a further evolution of his martial soul and an indestructible body. When he goes all out, even titled Douluo below level 95 would find it difficult to defeat him.
"Kid, you make the first move."
Yue Guan held a blade between his right index and middle fingers with an elegant posture. As a senior, he naturally wouldn't make the first move.
"Uncle Ju, I'm sorry to offend you!"
Gu Han didn't hesitate either; the two soul rings beneath his feet lit up simultaneously, and his second soul skill transformed into ice armor to protect his body.
Due to consuming the immortal herb, Gu Han's martial soul quality was enhanced, becoming a top-tier martial soul, and its ice attribute naturally became even stronger.
With a single sword strike, the surrounding temperature dropped noticeably, and frost formed on the ground wherever the sword energy passed.
"Good timing!"
Yue Guan's eyes lit up, and in a daze, he seemed to see Chen Xin's shadow.
Petals fell, transforming into blades that flew towards Gu Han in a neat, chain-like formation.
Seeing this, Gu Han reacted immediately, his sword swirling as he unleashed several chilling icy sword energies.
Yue Guan naturally didn't use his full strength, after all, the difference in their soul power was obvious. After the sword energy collided with the golden blade, a crisp metallic clang was produced.
Visibly, some of the golden blades were frozen and then bounced off.
Yue Guan raised an eyebrow slightly, his interest growing: "Kid, you're pretty sharp."
"Watch out, I'm going to increase my soul power!"
Yue Guan gave a reminder and used the soul power of a high-level Soul Master.
As mentioned in the preface, Yue Guan's current strength is much greater than in the original work. The soul power he uses as a high-level Soul Master is even greater than that of a Soul King.
Gu Han immediately felt the pressure. He unleashed his footwork, his figure swaying like a dragon, and his sword skills were fully displayed, with various sword moves coming out frequently. For a time, the fight was actually evenly matched.
Chapter 53 Bibi Dong: I Feel Like I've Missed Out on a Fortune
The ghosts in the shadows were also secretly alarmed. It was indeed a battle between strong offensive types. Even though Chrysanthemum Pass was holding back, this kind of head-on collision, with every punch landing, was still incredibly exciting to watch.
Gu Han's swordsmanship is superb, and he has shown the demeanor of a strong person at such a young age. With such combat power, it is likely that no one of his level can match him.
Yue Guan was also shocked; this kid's soul power was incredibly pure and exceptionally abundant.
Of course, no matter how powerful one's soul power is, the difference in level is still there.
What shocked him was Gu Han's swordsmanship. The opponent's swordsmanship level had obviously reached a very high level. The sword seemed not to be his weapon, but his hands and feet. It was as if man and sword were one, and he could use it freely.
Gu Han's arms were already numb, and cold sweat was starting to appear on his forehead. The difference in soul power was still too great. In the face of absolute power, his skills seemed too pale and powerless.
No matter how exquisite his swordsmanship was, without the support of great power, he couldn't even break through Yueguan's defensive perimeter.
However, this was also a good opportunity to see his own limits. Thinking of this, Gu Han immediately unleashed the Nine Slashes of Profound Frost.
The first sword strike doesn't offer much of a boost; it's more like a buffed basic attack.
But the power increased as the battle progressed. For the first five sword strikes, due to Gu Han's soul power, Yue Guan could only sense that Gu Han's sword was becoming increasingly sharp and powerful.
But even when the seventh, eighth, and even ninth sword strikes were unleashed, Yue Guan couldn't help but be astonished.
The ninth strike, in particular, had already acquired the power of a Soul Emperor.
"Good lad, an aura barrier!!"
Yue Guan was amazed and forced to use his defensive soul skill. A golden soul power barrier protected Yue Guan within it, and Gu Han's final sword strike followed.
boom! !
The golden barrier instantly frosted over, and even cracks appeared.
"Um!?"
Yue Guan was slightly surprised, then increased his soul power output, and the aura barrier suddenly expanded, sending Gu Han flying.
Gu Han tumbled dozens of times in the air before dissipating most of the reaction force and landing on the ground. The tip of his sword pierced the ground, carving a long trench in the earth.
Gu Han squatted on the ground, propping his sword with one hand, breathing heavily.
Sure enough, the gap in soul power cannot be bridged by skill alone. Master was right; improving my soul power level is my top priority now.
Yue Guan withdrew his martial spirit, looked at the frozen corner of his clothes, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and then looked at Gu Han with even more appreciation.
"Not bad, not bad. A quasi-Soul Master actually forced me, a Soul Douluo, to unleash my Soul Skill."
"Uncle Ju, you flatter me. If you hadn't shown mercy, I probably wouldn't have been able to withstand even one of your moves."
Gu Han stood up from the ground, put away his martial spirit, and humbly cupped his hands. He was telling the truth. Yue Guan hadn't used much strength at all from beginning to end. If he had gone all out, he wouldn't have been able to last this long.
"You don't need to be modest here. If we were at the same level, I wouldn't be your match."
Yue Guan waved his hand, not taking Gu Han's words seriously. Gu Han was very strong, at least the strongest among the geniuses he had ever seen, and almost no one of his peers could match him.
I thought this kid had some of Chen Xin's youthful flair, but now I see he's even sharper than Chen Xin was back then. The title of the number one swordsman on the continent is probably going to change hands.
To be honest, Yue Guan really wanted to see that scene sooner.
There was no ill intent; I just wanted to see Chen Xin's reaction.
Commonly known as the "fun-loving" mentality.
Ghostly appeared at this moment and exclaimed, "To unleash a Soul Emperor's attack at the level of a Quasi-Soul Venerable is truly terrifying. You have really refreshed my and Chrysanthemum Pass's understanding."
"Also, your swordsmanship just now seemed to have a similar effect to the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique of the Haotian Sect. Each sword strike was stronger than the last. Did you figure that out yourself?"
"Yes, Uncle Ju, Uncle Gui, this sword is called Xuan Shuang Jiu Zhan. It consists of nine sword strikes, and each strike is twice as powerful as the previous one."
Kiku and Kiku exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise and admiration in each other's eyes.
"Looks like I underestimated you. You might actually have a chance to become a level 99 being."
To what extent must one understand their own martial soul to create such a powerful soul skill?
The last person with such talent was probably Tang Chen.
Although Gu Han's innate talent was not as good as Tang Chen's, that was before. Now, with the blessing of the immortal herb, Gu Han has already caught up with Tang Chen back then.
In a daze, they seemed to see Gu Han standing at the pinnacle of the continent.
After a battle, Gu Han's daily sword practice this morning was finally over.
Bibi Dong didn't get out of bed until around 7 a.m.
During the conversation, he learned about the sparring between Gu Han and Yue Guan, and immediately felt like he had missed out on a fortune.
Bibi Dong often stared at her junior brother when he practiced swordsmanship, thinking that swordsmen were really cool, much better looking than her two spiders.
But she had almost never seen her junior brother fight with a sword. It was ice-attribute and a sword, so it must be very cool, just like the sword immortals in the stories her junior brother told her.
The thought that she had missed a great show because she overslept made Bibi Dong feel annoyed, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
He took a big bite of the chicken leg, his face clearly showing his displeasure.
However, she didn't say much, only blaming herself for getting up late.
Gu Han could naturally see that Bibi Dong was unhappy. Connecting this to the topic they had been discussing, he understood the reason for her unhappiness and smiled.
"Senior sister, if you want to see me fight, I'll go to the Great Soul Arena for a match after I acquire my third spirit ring."
"Really?"
Bibi Dong's eyes lit up.
"Ah."
Gu Han nodded.
"Then it's settled."
"Yes, it's settled."
