Awakened: The Spirit King!

Using all his strength, Song Ru began chanting, his expression contorted but his voice so melodic that it made the hearer feel like they were sailing through a mystical land where sirens were singing to entice them to jump into the sea!

"The gateway to the kingdom of the Apex Sword Spirit opens, the purest of sword qi invades the mortal realm, changing the view in the sky!"

The symbol before Song Ru abruptly shattered into crystallized shards, each of which further diffused into sword mist, which spread towards the nearest trees and infused with their leaves, turning them blue and solid.

Gentle breezes of wind manifested in the tournament site and took the crystallized sky-blue leaves high up into the clouds.

"What is life if not two sides of the same coins? With my will as the vessel, let two realms of the spirit world overlap!"

As he said that, the blurry figure of a long sword and a desolate land with countable steams of blue manifested behind the petal.

Only then did Song Ru open his bleeding eyes and set his apathetic gaze on Xie Yang, but what he saw disappointed him.

\'Since he has given up like the others before him and I\'ve roamed all the empire\'s provinces and found no one worthy of my servitude, I guess I will have to journey out of the empire to find a capable lord to serve.\'

\'I should defeat him first.\'

Song Ru was disappointed with Xie Yang, and he decided to end this fight immediately.

"Fuse!"

Streams of blue broke out of the illusion that had manifested in the sky and fused with the petals, which directed their sharp ends towards Xie Yang, drowning him in intense pressure.

Although a mountain-crushing pressure was acting on it and its sharpness was shredding his clothes, Xie Yang surprisingly remained uninjured and stood unmoving, his back straight as the day he learned to stand.

"He can survive the first form of sword rain on his own. He is an unprecedented genius!"

"What nonsense! He is no genius! He is barely surviving it, and what chance is there that he is not using a spiritual object to save his skin?"

"Yeah, I think he\'s fighting off the pressure by using a bunch of auxiliary items."

Xie Yang wasn\'t using anything but his skills.

A thin layer of Spiritual energy was protecting his skin from the sword intent pressure in the pressure!

Of course, as his robes hid it, no one saw it clearly

"He is a rare seed."

"Junior sister, if he wins the tournament, try to get close to him and invite him to our sect."

"En."

The experts could tell that he solely relied on his skill to fight off the Sword Rain of Song Ru and labeled him a genius that comes once in a hundred in the mortal realm.

Suddenly, Xie Yang lowered his head low. It was as if he found it hard to remain standing. His actions didn\'t stir the heart of the masses as they believed that Xie Yang was rooted in fear and had given up. However, they didn\'t know that he had long released his divine sense to gain the best view of the entire tournament site and the sky.

There were many images in his mind, and he was able to process all of them, but he focused his attention on Doctor Zhang, who was sitting between some shady figures that wore robes with different color brochures pinned in their chest pocket.

"Even if this boy born under the dark star has somehow overcome the tribulation I left for him and started to cultivate, I don\'t believe that there is any chance that in merely a month he will become powerful enough to deal with a thousand sword rays! I\'ve already activated the trap we laid underneath the stage and tampered with the life-saving array. Once Song Ru makes his moves, he\'ll fall here."

"Yes! Although Song Ru only used spiritual energy to power this version of sword rain, it still exceeds the power of the strongest offensive spiritual technique. No cultivator in the first two realms can survive its second form. Xie Yang will not survive Song Ru\'s assault."

"Song Ru is going to put an end to his winning streak and at the same time, his life."

"We\'re finally going to witness his death. Our years of planning will not go to waste."

Xie Yang smiled.

\'My conclusion was right on the mark. Doctor Zhang poisoned me, and now he is conspiring with shady people to aim for my life. Hmph! Just wait! After dealing with my matter, I will play them to death!\'

Xie Yang snapped open his eyes and looked at the desolate sky covered by sword-like petals.

Right at that very moment, Song Ru coughed out a mouthful of blood, which turned to mist as soon as it came out of his mouth and surged upwards, "Sword Rain!"

A thousand blue rays of light as sharp as knives shot down the sky and straight towards Xie Yang, leaving behind trails of blue!

"This guy, Song Ru, as his future master, I better not disappoint him."

While thinking this, Xie Yang almost gave a violent heart attack to Xie Yong with his actions. The entire crowd felt dumbfounded by his fierceness!

With a sword in his hand, he leaped into the air. Spiritual energy surged out of his feet, pushing him upwards. He headed straight for the sword rain! However, it also meant that he effectively left the boundary of the life-saving array and entered a life & death struggle!

"Did he really charge towards a 1000 swords with just a single weapon?!"

"You\'re not hallucinating! He really did that!"

"My lord is Too fierce!"

"Fierce my ass! He is suicidal!"

"Fuck!"

"What is he thinking?" Lin Hua\'s eyes reflected her worry. She closed her eyes and prayed, "Please protect him, Moon Goddess."

"Hahaha!"

While laughing wantonly, Xie Yang clashed with the first wave of the sword rain. The tip of his sword shot out like a set of lightning bolts flashing down the sky, striking dozens of sword-like leaves effortlessly.

The leaves crumbled apart, showing the masses that his swordplay wasn\'t all about speed but also thunderous force!

"Are you serious about challenging it?" Song Ru, whose eyes were as wide as saucers, shouted at Xie Yang.

Xie Yang, who was having the time of his life, laughed out loud, "Didn\'t you want me to overwhelm it? It\'s too late to take back your words and regret! Watch as I break your spirit weaving clan\'s sword rain!"

Xie Yong slammed his hand on the armrest and cursed, "This damn brat, he is courting death!"

While messaging his shoulders, Xie Ye said, "Master, if you want to stop him, please don\'t. Believe in him. He can overcome this on his own."

Song Ru was the most offended by his words.

If he really shattered his clan\'s signature move, he will be stepping all over them!

"Then I will stop back."

Song Ru raised his hand, and the eight remaining waves of sword rain became one giant dragon that released a mighty earth-shattering roar and descended towards Xie Yang.

"That\'s what I am talking about!"

While in mid-air, Xie Yang created a platform beneath him. He stepped on it, crouched, and then shot forward towards the blue dragon radiating sword intent.

"So What If There Are A Thousand Sword Blocking My Path?! To Get What I Want, Even If There Are Ten Thousand Mountains Of Swords And Endless Seas Of Fire, I Won\'t Think Twice Before Charging Ahead!" Xie Yang Roared as all his spiritual energy flooded out of his flesh like towering waves, splitting up into hundreds of pieces, each shaping into a sword!

"That\'s sword manifestation of the apex level!"

"How old is he? Only 18! But he is already at the apex of the sword manifestation stage!"

"He is my son\'s age, but he is better than him in every way! Damn! I\'m feeling envious of my lord!"

"Huh, even his eldest brother and the crown prince weren\'t as good as him when they were his age!"

"You are all elders of your households and sects. I\'m disappointed yo see that you can\'t even tell that he has formed a core!"

"WHAT?!!!!!!"

At this moment, Xie Yang brandished his sword at the giant dragon, and the sword he manifested met it too!"

Bomb!
