Chapter 152: Exceptional Saber Technique
Xiao Chen had become an Inferior Grade Martial Grand Master not too long ago; he had to stabilize his cultivation realm. He circulated the gus.h.i.+ng Spiritual Energy in his body for one great cycle before finally sending it to the Dantian.
The gus.h.i.+ng river immediately rose drastically. The tiny Azure Dragon swam around the river happily, occasionally causing splashes of water.
These splashes of water were the purest Essence. With just a thought, the river rose higher and the raging waves swelled up. A huge amount of Essence flowed out of the Dantian and flowed through the various meridians of the body.
The Essence permeated the meridians and entered the skin, flesh, and bones, continuously nouris.h.i.+ng Xiao Chen’s powerful body. When the Essence was exhausted, the Spiritual Energy absorbed from the surroundings flowed into the Dantian again. This never-ending cycle continued on, cycle after cycle.
Time flew by very fast while cultivating. When Xiao Chen opened his eyes, the sky was starting to become bright. He felt very refreshed as he stretched himself; he felt like he was filled with limitless energy.
“Kou! Kou! Kou!”
There was a knocking sound and Liu Ruyue’s melodious voice could be heard through the door, “My little disciple, stop sleeping in, it is time to wake up.”
Just as Liu Ruyue was about to continue knocking, Xiao Chen’s door suddenly opened. When she saw Xiao Chen’s refreshed look, she said, “Good spirits. Remember, in the future, you have to go to the dueling grounds at this time everyday. If you don’t go, you will be punished. Let’s go.”
Xiao Chen nodded and said, “I have not eaten breakfast yet.”
“Best to not eat, or else you might get a stomach ache,” Liu Ruyue said casually with a smile on her face.
That serious?! Xiao Chen had a bad feeling. He followed Liu Ruyue and eventually they arrived at a wide dueling ground.
This dueling ground was very large, and it was made completely of Heavenly Mountain Stones. The domed roof was a hundred meters tall. When standing in there, one would feel very small. In the middle of the dueling ground, there were all sorts of equipment displayed very prominently.
However, in the large dueling ground, there was only Liu Suifeng practicing his Saber alone. It was extremely s.p.a.cious but empty. When Liu Suifeng saw Xiao Chen, he smiled faintly as a way of greeting him.
“Elder Sister Ruyue, are there any exceptional Saber Techniques to pa.s.s on to me?” Xiao Chen said with a smile. When they arrived at the dueling ground, Xiao Chen felt a lot more relaxed.
Liu Ruyue scoffed and said, “With your foundation, you want to learn an exceptional Saber Techniques, not to mention a Heaven Ranked Saber Technique. You would not even understand the essence of an Earth Ranked Saber Technique.”
This was not the first time that Liu Ruyue had said that Xiao Chen’s foundation was bad. Xiao Chen felt slightly unconvinced even though he had switched to a saber without much training initially.
However, I am considered to be quite diligent in practicing and have not been lazy at all. Why does she say that my foundations are bad?
When Liu Ruyue saw Xiao Chen’s slightly unconvinced look, she smiled, “If you are not convinced then execute your strongest Saber Technique against me. I guarantee I will not use a strength exceeding that of a Martial Grand Master.”
Xiao Chen was also thinking of testing Liu Ruyue’s strength. Back in Returning Cloud Hall, because Liu Ruyue had attacked him suddenly, he had been feeling unconvinced. Now was the opportunity he had been waiting for.
Xiao Chen held the Lunar Shadow Saber horizontally in front of him and smiled, “Then take a good look at the world’s fastest Saber Technique. I will only execute it once, it will definitely make you admit defeat willingly.”
“Ka Ca!”
There was a flash of cold light, a ‘huang dang’ sound and the Lunar Shadow Saber was suddenly pulled out of the scabbard. The instant it was pulled out of the scabbard, thunder crackled behind him. The Lunar Shadow Saber was now flickering with electricity.
“Drawing the Saber!”
Xiao Chen’s momentum slowly increased, and soon, the saber light reached its peak speed and chopped at Liu Ruyue. At such a close distance and him making the first move, Xiao Chen was absolutely confident of making Liu Ruyue retreat.
Once Liu Ruyue retreated, the Rus.h.i.+ng Thunder Saber Technique’s never-ending chain of attacks would instantly be initiated. Each saber strike would be stronger than the last. His momentum would be slowly raised to an extreme. Even if he was not able to defeat her, it would get her to take him seriously.
“Dang!”
A melodious metallic clang rang out. Xiao Chen was not able to see how she drew her small saber from the scabbard. He discovered that Liu Ruyue’s saber was even faster than his. Even though it was initiated later than his move, it struck the Lunar Shadow Saber violently.
A huge force traveled through the blade of the saber. Xiao Chen’s right hand, which was holding the saber, felt numb. There was even an impulse to cast aside the Lunar Shadow Saber.
When the huge force was sent into Xiao Chen’s body, he stumbled backward by two steps before managing to slowly steady himself. Liu Ruyue’s fast saber strike filled his mind.
It was just an ordinary saber strike, not a Martial Technique like Drawing the Saber. However, its speed was inconceivably fast.
However, Xiao Chen was still unconvinced as he had not yet managed to execute the Rus.h.i.+ng Thunder Saber Technique. If given the opportunity, Liu Ruyue would look at him in a different light.
Xiao Chen stomped forward and shouted. Thunder crackled again. The surging splashes from the gus.h.i.+ng river in his Dantian turned into a large amount of Essence and flowed into the blade of his saber.
