Chapter 248 – Advancement! (2/2)

When he sensed the worry in Su Qings.h.i.+’s tone, Yang Ye’s heart felt warm, and then he said with a smile on his face, “Don’t worry, since I dare to aim my sword at the 1st, then I have some confidence. You know me well, I’m not someone that acts beyond his ability. I wouldn’t go give my life away if I couldn’t accomplish it.”

Su Qings.h.i.+ glanced at Yang Ye, and then she hesitated for a moment before she said, “Lin Xiuran is a genius that Martial Uncle Zui found for the Sword Sect. Since his teaching comes from Martial Uncle Zui, his attainments in the Sword Dao are extremely deep. You have to be careful if you encounter him in battle. Besides that, I hope you can spare his life if he loses to you, alright?”

Yang Ye chuckled and said, “Qings.h.i.+, you witnessed it as well just now. It’s he who’s hostile towards me. I’m sure that if we encounter each other in the compet.i.tion, then he’ll definitely strike to kill. Since it’s like that, then it’s naturally impossible for me to hold back. So, I can’t agree to this request of yours. Because since he wants to kill me, then I’ll kill him!”

He could make a compromise on many things, but he wouldn’t change his principles. Lin Xiuran’s killing intent towards him was extremely obvious, so he would naturally not be such an idiot to actually show mercy during the compet.i.tion.

Su Qings.h.i.+ sighed lightly when she heard Yang Ye. No matter if it was Yang Ye or Lin Xiuran, she didn’t hope that any one of them died in the arena. Lin Xiuran was someone that Daoist Zui had chosen. So, if Yang Ye killed him, then it was very likely for Yang Ye to leave a bad impression in Daoist Zui’s heart. This was definitely not good for Yang Ye.

Moreover, the Sword Sect really needed capable geniuses like Lin Xiuran now!

Su Qings.h.i.+ didn’t speak further. She glanced at Yang Ye, hesitated for a moment, and then her figure flashed. She instantly appeared in front of Yang Ye, and then Yang Ye felt a wave of faint fragrance a.s.sault his face before a warm and delicate figure pressed onto his own body. He heard Su Qings.h.i.+ speak in a low voice. “Survive until the compet.i.tion ends!”

As soon as she finished speaking, her figure flashed and vanished in front of Yang Ye.

After a short while, Yang Ye returned to his senses, and then he smiled happily. Even though he knew that Su Qings.h.i.+ had said those words because she didn’t want the Sword Sect to lose a genius, as a man, Yang Ye had still felt slightly uncomfortable when Su Qings.h.i.+ asked him to spare Lin Xiuran’s life. Because the Sword Sect’s status was always higher than his within her heart.

Of course, he also felt that Su Qings.h.i.+ treated him nicely because he was of value to the Sword Sect and could bring benefit to it. However, the last things Su Qings.h.i.+ had said earlier before she left allowed him to realize that he had a place in her heart after all.

Perhaps it still wasn’t higher than the Sword Sect, but it was already sufficient for him.

Yang Ye was a completely blank slate when it came to emotional experience. He didn’t know how to love someone. He only knew that if he liked someone, then he should work hard for it and give the best to that person, even if that person didn’t love him! Even though one-sided love was arduous, being able to fall for someone was already an extremely joyous thing to him! Of course, if the person he loved was able to fall for him as well, then it would be even more joyous!

As he thought about it, the smile on Yang Ye’s face gradually widened. However, right at this moment, Yang Ye’s eyes suddenly opened wide. Moreover, the Violet Spirit sword in his hand suddenly let out a howl before it started trembling violently. It seemed as if Violet Spirit intended to struggle free from his grasp and shoot into the sky.

The ground where he stood was covered in hard limestone, but countless cracks mysteriously appeared on them like spiderwebs. In the beginning, these cracks had only appeared beneath Yang Ye’s legs, but in less than two breaths of time, the fine cracks that seemed like spiderwebs had extended out in all directions.

At this moment, with Yang Ye at the center, the limestone that paved the ground in an area of 30m around him had cracked inch by inch.

Fortunately, it was at night, and this street was in a remote area of the city, so no one noticed this mysterious scene!

After standing on the spot for a short while, Yang Ye shook his head and laughed bitterly as he said, “I never expected that just allowing my thoughts to clear up allowed my Sword Intent to attain the 4th level…. How dramatic!”

Yes, Yang Ye had attained the 4th level of Sword Intent at this moment. As for why he’d directly attained the 4th level of Sword Intent now, even Yang Ye himself wasn’t very sure. However, he faintly felt that it might be because he’d overcome the conflicted feelings in his heart just now and allowed his thoughts to become clear. However, no matter what, being able to improve his Sword Intent to the 4th level was undoubtedly good news for Yang Ye now. Because it allowed him to have even more confidence and strength when he faced those young geniuses in battle tomorrow!

Yang Ye took a few glances at the scene in the surroundings caused by the Sword Intent that leaked from him, and then he roared with laughter before his figure flashed and vanished on the spot!
