The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 890 The Third Round Of Battle (2)

?

Amidst the four explosive burst of profound energies that were caused by 2 merely spirit talismans, Chu Lixue had emerged from it with her ultra sword spirit as she flashed toward the apparition. 

The apparition was actually about to ready 4 spirit talismans to attack when it saw Chu Lixue flashing toward it, so it only readied 2 spirit talisman while readying a spirit defense talisman to deflect any attacks.

Ling Feiyue who was watching the battle gasped to Ji Yuan, "Maiden Chu Lixue has gained the ultra sword spirit too? The same as you? What have the two of you been doing?"

Ji Yuan said weakly, "Nothing. We learnt it independently. Haha…"

But his attention was actually fully on the fight inside the battle arena.

Then he was gasping all of a sudden; it was because his senior sister had suddenly emerged from the explosive burst of profound energies with a sword aura!

She has learnt how to use a sword aura too?! 

Indeed.

Just when Chu Lixue had used her ultra sword spirit, her profound aura had also undergone a surprising change and it had evolved into a sword aura; this was a surprising development for her as well.

She wasted no time for her counter-attack as she gathered all her sword intentions to form into her unique sword domain as she flashed to the apparition before she swept her divine sword as hues of blue profound sword energies exploded around her, severing even the attacking spirit talismans above her as it exploded harmlessly away from her.

At the same time the inertia barrier that was created by the defensive spirit talisman of the apparition was also penetrated by her sword domain and the apparition was dematerialized by her fierce profound attack.

The name of her sword domain was actually called the Divine Steps Swords; originally it was actually weaker than even Ji Yuan's Flying Swords Domain but it was a sustainable sword domain. 

Although Ling Feiyue's sword domain the Six Realms Flying Swords was also much more powerful than her Divine Steps Swords but it could only be used only once.

For Chu Lixue, the Divine Steps Swords perfectly bended the use of fighting style and it was also able to greatly empower the profound power of her sword strikes and to leave behind an illusionary profound blue light that could also confuse her opponent. 

With her ultra sword spirit and sword aura, the profound power of her Divine Steps Swords was now twice as powerful than the first time she had used this sword domain! 

In fact, her ultra sword spirit was able to perfectly bend in with her Divine Steps Swords that this sword domain was now more powerful than Ji Yuan's Flying Sword Domain now.

It was not wrong to say that she had received a beneficial upgrade to her sword domain from this round of battle!

The Trial Spirit announced, "Champion Chu Lixue wins the round. 3 Points will be rewarded to your team…"

"Your team has scored 9 Points in total but there is a 1 Point penalty, so you have scored 8 Points in total. This is still a completion so you will be allowed to go to the third trial…"

"You have 30 minutes to say your farewells to your team…"

Chu Lixue was panting softly after she had killed the apparition but she continued to display a divine smile as she slowly walked back to the battle arena.

Her sword domain required her continuous profound strength to sustain with her sword intentions so it was actually quite a tiring profound sword art.

At the colosseum where the White Sword Monarch was, he looked quite moved as he muttered. "I have never though that this daughter of mine will be able to display a much more powerful sword spirit at her cultivation realm. This is so unexpected. And also, like Ji Yuan, she is able to display a sword aura. She is indeed worthy of being my daughter…"

As Chu Lixue returned to the waiting area, Ji Yuan had immediately hugged her all of a sudden.

"Senior sister, you are back!"

Chu Lixue chuckled, "What? You think that I will lose?"

Ji Yuan laughed weakly; Indeed, he had thought so for a while.

"You are actually able to display a sword aura?" 

He was really startled because it was not easy for him to figure out how to manifest his sword aura and every sword cultivator was different so there was no way for him to teach Chu Lixue how to realize her sword aura at the seventh cultivation realm.

Ji Yuan was already considered to be a genius sword cultivator when he could realize his sword aura at the low seventh cultivation realm. But he had not thought that it was possible for his senior sister to do the same too.

Even Ling Feiyue was startled by her sword aura as she curiously added, "How did you gain your sword aura?"

Chu Lixue smiled divinely, "I actually do not know. It just happens. Maybe it is because these spirit talismans triggered something in me and I need something to defend myself against it. Or maybe it is because it is long overdue for me."

She was a peaked great saintess with a solid cultivation and this trial may be the cultivation breakthrough that she needed to realize her full potential.I think you should take a look at

"Or maybe it is Ji Yuan that inspires me."

Ji Yuan chuckled softly, "How can it be me?"

Chu Lixue and Ling Feiyue were quietly smiling; Actually, Ji Yuan has affected them more than he thinks.

Xiao Muhan and Bu Danwang had hastily approached Chu Lixue as well. 

"Maiden Lixue, glad that you're alright…"

"This is such a difficult fight…"

They looked grateful and was even astonished that Chu Lixue was way stronger than they thought she was. 

Due to Ji Yuan, Ling Feiyue and Chu Lixue, the two of them had cleared the second trial without doing anything. 

It was no wonder why Xiao Muhan and Bu Danwang were both looking quite grateful and they also shivered to think of the consequences if they were in one of the three battles. They wondered if they were able to survive the fight or not.

But for Ji Yuan, Ling Feiyue and Chu Lixue, they were true cultivators and they sought challenges to improve upon their cultivation strength.

Ji Yuan totally understood this and that was why he did not stop them from fighting or even Xiao Muhan from joining in the trial as a champion. To a cultivator, they had to face the life and death calamities often in order to better their own cultivation strength. 

Although Ji Yuan did not like to cultivate, he was actually a true cultivator in other aspects. It is because a cultivator can only cultivate this much before they will have reached a blocker and have to find another mean to overcome their cultivation blocker. 

As for Ji Yuan, he is the practical cultivator that prefers to cumulative experiences. 

That is also the reason why even though he isn't a genius in cultivating or have any cultivation resources, he is able to advance so quickly in his cultivation realm.

But Ji Yuan is not the norm of the cultivators and the path that he has chosen is unique to himself so that he can be lazy but yet he isn't the type that shy away from dangers or fighting. 

Ji Yuan was now sighing to Chu Lixue and Ling Feiyue, "Now we have only 30 minutes before we have to part."

Chu Lixue smiled, "We are in the same team so you must be referring to Maiden Ling Feiyue. Shameless!"

Ling Feiyue shyly looked away while Ji Yuan laughed weakly.

Ji Yuan said to Ling Feiyue, "Feiyue, take care for your other 3 trials while I am not around you."

Ling Feiyue chuckled softly, "I should say this to you instead. Do I look like a clumsy cultivator when compared to you?"

Ji Yuan frowned, "I will be a clumsy cultivator?"

Ling Feiyue was obviously referring to the events 100 years ago, "What do you think?"

She was smiling when she had remembered how Ji Yuan had fallen into Xue Qianxue's bathtub 100 years ago. 

Ji Yuan frowned, pretending not to understand Ling Feiyue.

"Hahaha…"

Ji Yuan had remembered how he had treated Ling Feiyue like a bitter love rival 100 years ago and he had not thought that the two of you would be together 100 years later due to another chance meeting. 

Now the two of them were almost inseparable. 

To be honest, Ling Feiyue, Xiang Li and Bai Qianfeng were the 3 that were his constant companions for the past 1 year often.
