Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 255 He Qiya's Hard Work and Merit

The scenes of the Dragon Sky Bridge and the Nine-Yu Sky Bridge are quite different.

The environment only becomes more challenging starting from the fifth floor.

The entire fifth floor was filled with howling winds, and Bai Yang no longer saw that white mist.

Instead, a tornado-like mass of air appeared.

The constantly spinning tornado made a sound:

"Choose from Warrior, Controller, or Illusionist. Defeat your opponent to enter the sixth level."

"A martial artist." Bai Yang continued to insist on his choice.

Chi Chi!

A man dressed in silver battle armor, silver boots, and wearing a silver mask flew out swiftly from the tornado.

He also had the exact same one in his hand, carrying a forged sword.

"Huh? You're a star level?"

The man in silver appeared quite surprised. "How did you manage to get here?"

Bai Yang chuckled: "That's how it is. If you're going to fight, then hurry up."

"Hmm?" The silver-clad man immediately became displeased: "What an arrogant brat!"

Let me tell you!

"For someone of cosmic caliber to come here now is arrogant. Especially someone as young as you..."

Bai Yang listened to his rambling on and on, insisting on lecturing him before even starting a fight.

He simply pointed his longsword at the man opposite him, and the silver-clad man's face immediately changed color.

He stomped his foot and, with incredible speed, instantly left the spot.

Just as he dodged, six sword marks—three horizontal and three vertical—suddenly appeared where he had been standing.

The sword wound penetrated very deep into the ground, causing stone chips to fly everywhere; its destructive power was considerable.

If he had dared not move just now, he would have suffered a great loss.

"Good lad! This is 'omnipotent'!"

"You, a mere celestial being, have actually mastered this technique? I underestimated you!"

The man in silver looked grim, and only now did he seem to wake up from a dream.

"Can we begin?" Bai Yang asked again, patiently.

The man in silver snorted angrily and finally thrust out his sword.

It is also the fifth level of the Forging Sharpness Realm, namely [All-Round]!

Bai Yang instantly felt that the entire space around him was filled with invisible sword energy.

It was like a domain, yet not quite; his entire being was enveloped and locked in by this sword technique.

At first glance, this move looks very similar to the [Sword World] of the sixth level of the Divine Weapon.

However, the basic principles are completely different, and their power is naturally different as well.

Duan Mingfeng naturally cultivates the profound mysteries of the Law of Time, in addition to the profound meaning of the Law of Light's [Refraction].

After the silver-clad man opposite him unleashed his sword energy, he deflected an invisible sword aura.

One becomes two, two becomes four, four becomes eight.

At the same time, the basic principles of the laws of light are used to conceal the traces of sword energy.

Therefore, it appeared that the entire field was filled with sword energy.

Those who do not comprehend the laws of light will find it almost impossible to detect what kind of attack the opponent has launched.

This sword technique also utilizes the mysteries of the laws of time, synchronizing the attack times of different sword energies.

The power of this sword technique increases dramatically, far surpassing ordinary speed and spatial illusion techniques.

It was certainly superior to the sword shadow attack that Bai Yang had originally devised.

Therefore, martial artists who have mastered this technique will no longer use illusions when fighting against opponents of the same level.

The difference in combat power between the two skills is simply too great.

Bai Yang, a novice at this move, immediately found himself at a disadvantage.

The opponent's invisible sword energy was impossible to pinpoint.

Even if you know the principle and know it's an illusion, you will still feel that the entire space is attacking you.

He understood the profound mysteries of the laws of light and time very quickly.

That's why he didn't lose instantly.

Then, relying on his "inspiration," he continuously blocked the sword energy sent by the opponent in the void.

The silver-clad man's strength lies in his swordsmanship, and his ability to combine swordsmanship with the laws of nature.

Bai Yang went all out, wielding a forged sword that was impenetrable to wind and rain.

They maintained a defensive perimeter of more than three meters, ensuring that no matter how fiercely the opponent attacked, they could always keep the invisible sword energy at bay.

He knew very well that time was on his side.

Faced with such an attack, his [body memory] kept awakening.

Gradually apply the insights gained from the [realistic simulation] to practice.

Soon, his [defense circle] transformed into a [sword aura circle], and he began exchanging blows with the silver-clad man using the same technique.

It's just that Bai Yang's circle is still relatively small for now.

However, he could still see the spatial fluctuations and arcs, and streams of sword energy could carry out spatial attacks along the arcs.

If the man in silver underestimates his opponent, he will be able to launch a counterattack.

After a few times, he no longer dared to press forward easily and took a steady and cautious approach.

For the past month, Bai Yang has focused on cultivating the concept of "Heaven is Round and Earth is Square".

I haven't practiced this move much, so I'm taking this opportunity to improve.

This sword technique is extremely difficult; even he couldn't possibly master it to such a high level in an instant.

If he can truly master the fifth level of "All-Encompassing", then he can even pass the sixth level of the Tower of Babel.

A dozen minutes later, Bai Yang could no longer withstand the layers of sword energy pressing down on him and was forced to retreat.

He had anticipated this, so he wasn't disappointed.

After a round of extreme challenges, he gained a clearer understanding of himself.

"I can break through to the fifth level after practicing swordsmanship for another half month."

The sixth level, six months of practice should be enough.

He was fairly satisfied with his progress over 38 years.

It's incredibly fast that they were able to perfectly replicate it within 7 months.

Bai Yang didn't challenge her a second time; she logged off and went back to practice her swordsmanship at her home.

This time, the Watcher Baffin learned his lesson and finally ended the fight.

Only then did they start sending videos to notify everyone.

Within ten minutes, two emails arrived.

All the geniuses in this competition were certainly quite frightened.

Even the two Venerable Ones were quite surprised.

"Bai Yang almost cleared the fifth level? When did he clear the fourth level?"

The Nine Swords Venerable was somewhat skeptical, but he gently clicked on the video that the Jade King had just forwarded to him.

After watching it, he turned off the screen with a complicated expression, his face full of entanglement.

"On average, only one genius can pass the fifth level in thirty genius tournaments."

King Longyu smiled and said to him,

"His understanding of the laws is already sufficient; what he lacks is swordsmanship."

Your Excellency, if you hesitate any longer, you may regret it.

The other venerable figures will not remain indifferent.

Nine Swords Venerable was also somewhat annoyed at this moment, wondering why he had written something like "wait until we leave the initial universe" in the email.

But as a dignified cosmic being, he can't go back on his word, can he?

"Hahaha, young master is indeed exceptionally talented and gifted!"

Unlike the Nine Swords Venerable, who was extremely troubled, Venerable Xuechen also received the news immediately.

He was full of confidence in the Dragon Lord's decision to accept a disciple, and had no doubts whatsoever.

He couldn't help but stroke his beard and smile, "He Qiya is indeed a good teacher, well done."

I will reward him handsomely!
