Chapter 156: Quintessence Force (2/2)
Days later, Ming Yue was awake at dawn, carefully moving through the sleeping Hei Yue. She grabbed her sword, washed herself, and headed for the training fields.
Gradually getting use to the Earth Realm, she found her strength to have increased.
A few tests showed that her attacks had become much stronger. A casual attack sent off a blade of wind that was much denser then before, enough to cut down a boulder with ease. Things like her wind needles and even a little tornado were much more powerful.
However, what if she utilized her full power? That is to say, if she controlled the Quintessence Force inside of her?
In that little island within her, those droplets of Quintessence Force had begun to transform the island. Patches of grass had a robust and strong presence that distinguished itself from the rest of it. Perhaps, if this entire island became like that, she would have completed the first stage of the Earth Realm.
As she began to activate her energy, the island pulsed with power, filling her with strength.
She slowly breathed and held her sword. As that energy flowed through her and into her blade, she faced the empty field and sent out a full-powered strike.
A massive moon shaped blade of wind shot from the swing of her blade, cutting into the dirt. It left a narrow fissure as it cut though before crashing into the training field's barrier and dissipating. She examined the damage and felt surprised.
It was a clean attack that pretty much bisected the ground. Even stones and pebbles stuck in the soil had been sliced with out so much as a crack.
It wasn't destructive but it was certainly sharp!
If she were to go against those Ying Sisters, her chances of winning would have skyrocketed.
”Do you want to go kill them now?”
A voice much like hers spoke in her mind. Ming Yue was shocked but recognized who it was, her other self, cold-blooded version of her that had no sympathy.
”Are you surprised? Because I am.”
”How are you still here? You turned into dust”
”I might be a part of you but I'm also my own being, although I have no control here. I'll just be a voice in your mind.”
”What? You...” Ming Yue was dismayed by this thought.
To have this murderous personality within her, it was not an ideal thing to have.
”I can hear your thoughts, you know.”
”You!”
”You should probably call me something else”, the voice became slightly proud as it spoke, ”Being called ”you” doesn't seem very good. Hmm, Xue Yue, that sounds good. Call me that.”
”Why do I have to call you that?” Ming Yue suddenly spoke out but the voice of Xue Yue did not reply.
She was both confused and flustered, thinking to herself that she would go to Elder Shen for this predicament. Focused on this sudden development, she did not notice a figure walking behind her until they raised their hand and brought it down on her.
A killing aura woke her up and she spun around, defending against the attack with her sword.
To her surprise, that hand that should've been sliced in half had stopped her blade in its tracks.
”Good, so you've entered the second stage of the sword path and you're in the Earth Realm. You're decent enough to work with now”, the owner of that voice was none other than Elder Xiang.
He withdrew his hand and walked away.
”Come with me!”
