C162 (1/2)
The Sword of Hithering Light is a sword art and also a physical sword, it is Heavenly Academy’s dao sword, or ’s personal sword
The sword isn’t listed upon the Banner of Hundred Arms, but its power is comparable to the weapons listed in the last section of the banner
If a normal person was to receive three attacks from the sword in succession, no ht be, they would still be cleaved apart, or at the very least, suffer heavy injuries, unable to stand; yet, Chen Chang Sheng pulled hi himself on the wall
He had however, suffered fairly heavy injuries, blood trickled out froe
“So it’s only up to this degree?”
Zhuang Huan Yu looked at him with an expressionless face, after a htly harsher tone: “Being only to this degree, what right do you have to be Her Highness’ tutor?”
The “Highness” referred to was obviously not Princess Ping Guo, neither would it have been Prince Chen Liu, it was Her Highness, Luo Luo
“If you really did coilant, but your Discerning Steps is, in the end, fake, or perhaps better said to be a forgery; fitting in form, but spurious in truth”
He continued: “How could it possibly be used for battling? It’s nothing more than an illusion, all that’s needed is for me to close my eyes; your motion technique cannot fool the world itself”
Zhuang Huan Yu looked at hiht Her Highness for controlling True Essence, itmore than a twistedhness to have a wonderful future, you should have her continue to stay at Heavenly Acade discipline arts researched from the orthodox schools to solve her problem”
That’s right, this was the reason for his anger against Chen Chang Sheng, this hy he felt dissatisfied with him
He had hoped that Chen Chang Sheng could be stronger than this, proving to himself and the world that he had the qualifications to be Her Highness’ tutor; unlike this, being so easily beaten by hi more than a fraud
“That’s soestion, but I don’t see ht ar his sleeve to wipe away the blood on his jahile looking at Zhuang Huan Yu
Zhuang Huan Yu’s arrow-like broitched, he looked at Chen Chang Sheng, displeased, and said in a harsh tone: “Don’t tell me you still wish to obstinately remain reprehensible? Reality has already proven, noyour defence, you still aren’t aopponent, your True Essence volume is far too small and your cultivation level is far too low”
Chen Chang Sheng re at the short sword’s hilt he was tightly clenching
Zhuang Huan Yu saw that Chen Chang Sheng didn’t give any response and for soed and said, in a frosty voice: “Cultivation is a grand learning; battles in the end, rely upon the use of True Essence for combat Since ancient times, cultivation first requires Purification, then Meditation, Ethereal Opening; each stage has its reason”
He continued: “Purification is a require, for your True Essence levels to be so e of Meditation, yet you seek to use your Purification for achieving victory against your opponent; such arrogance and ignorance, a you’re on a twisted path? If it was just yourself then so be it, yet you wish to take Her Highness on a path she will not be able to return from?”
The toas quiet, only the cold voice of the young expert fro reverberation could be heard, landing upon the sand covered floor
“His level is too low, nothing else can be done, in the end, it see really could only reach this far”
In the secluded and tranquil room on the second floor, the voice of Star Seizer Acaderetful, yet also conveyed a sense of relief that everything will soon end
The roo in their respective positions, re Huan Yu drift in from outside the , they all came to this same conclusion
In the previous ainst that youthful expert fro City that was ranked around 20th on the proclamation because he had utilised his e of Discerning Steps had also caught his opponent off guard and they lost in the end to the power Chen Chang Sheng could bring to bear in close combat
But his opponent this ti Huan Yu
Zhuang Huan Yu is Heavenly Acade discipline arts from orthodox schools, each step of his cultivation was exceptionally robust and stable, never rushed, there were also teachers fro advice and instruction
His experience was re only his True Essence and e, directly crushi+ng Chen Chang Sheng and not giving hiet close; this naturally ensured there was no chance of any surprises happening
“Principal Mao Qiu Yu’s illustrious disciple, is indeed outstanding,” said the Bishop of Temple Seminary in melancholic praise
The personages in the roo the battles for some time
Having seen both Zhe Xiu and Gou Han shi+ battle, they knew that Zhuang Huan Yu wasn’t the strongest in terms of cultivation level, but he was the most stable
Perhaps it could better be said that it would be difficult for hier, Gou Han shi+ for exaainst someone weaker, they would absolutely be unable to defeat him
Especially after observing this current battle, they all had the feeling that Zhuang Huan Yu’s ability was possibly even greater than ruhness or Zhe Xiu, he could possibly put up a fight, with the outcome hard to predict
How could his current opponent, Chen Chang Sheng, possibly be his match?
That’s right, the observing personages and Li Palace clergy that were located in different roo’s loss
After multiple battles, they could confirm, this Orthodox Acadeo, had coe of the Meditation Realm; whether in terms of capacity or purity for True Essence, or even in other aspects, he was still vastly inferior to the true experts that were participating in the examination
Chen Chang Sheng being able to reach this point, entering the final 8, apart froth
At this point, his luck had already lost all , because his opponent is a true expert; no less, those true experts can directly crush hih their cultivation level and True Essence volu as they didn’t make a mistake in battle tactics, the way that youthful expert fro didn’t have any chance of victory
The difference between levels wasn’t soe
“So True Essence volu said to hiripped within his hand
Zhuang Huan Yu looked at hi those words at this moment
Chen Chang Sheng’s face did not reveal any sort of expression, appearing rather rigid, no one could tell that he was currently struggling within, unable to make a decision as to whether if he should take the risk
A cultivator’s True Essence caht for Purification, Star Brilliance, which contained a y, would enter the cultivator’s body at the same time Upon Meditation, once it came into contact with the cultivator’s divine sense, or perhaps better described as ignited, it would convert into True Essence the cultivator can freely manipulate
Chen Chang Sheng’s True Essence voluly impure, his meridian channels are broken, how could he make the True Essence flow freely?
Yet, his body contained vast quantities of Star Brilliance, in other words, were he to wish for it, he could coreater quantities of True Essence, but that would involve a massive risk
In the underground space beneath that abandoned well at New North Bridge, in front of that Black Dragon, for soed to pass the bottleneck of Purification and successfully perform Meditation
His body was currently er than it previously was, but he still had difficulty in deciding to once again enter Meditation, because failure would likely mean death
The medical record contained within the Classic of Meditation’s addendum and his own experience all provided proof for this conclusion
Going against the spectre of death and taking on such a risk for the first ti it for a second tie
Luckily, he had already experienced i and another on the day he had forcefully entered Meditation in the underground space, in front of the Black Dragon
Having experienced death, sonificance was that it allowed hi death, he would never have surrendered, but now, he also wouldn’t be as fearful as he used to be
Just as with his current situation, facing against a strong opponent like Zhuang Huan Yu, he wouldn’t surrender, neither would he be afraid
He raised his head and looked at Zhuang Huan Yu, saying: “Since it’s coive it a try”
Try what? Apart frouess
Chen Chang Sheng closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then expelled as much of it as he possibly could
It was as if an air bubble had gurgled out froround fount
In that breath, his lungs beca e
His sea of consciousness awoke, its surface gently undulating with small waves
A trace of extreed fro upwards, travelling towards some unknown location in the deep-blue sky above, as if it were leaving this expanse of Heaven and Earth
Within but a round, shrinking, fro at that micro Heaven and Earth
