Chapter 39: Great Spiritual Law
Swords, blades, spears, and axes.
Each had two types.
Among the two swords, one was the Spiritual Tool made of Mingzhu bamboo that Little Moon held.
It was just a standardized Spiritual Tool, so it was indeed not excessive.
However, a cultivator who had studied sword-based Spiritual Law and another who simply held a sword could differ in strength by a factor of ten.
Everyone present understood that the gap between the two sides was incredibly vast; a modern example would be an ordinary person fighting a world champion boxer in the ring.
Mastering a Spiritual Tool greatly enhanced a cultivator’s power, even if it was just a regular Spiritual Tool that merely extended one’s spirit energy.
Yun Ye also understood this, so he first picked up the Mingzhu bamboo sword and swung it to feel its strength.
Mingzhu bamboo is a material that combines different spiritual materials, made from Mingzhu ash, dark copper, and patterned silver, primarily for slaying monsters. When dealing with humans, it could only convey spiritual energy.
Yun Ye then picked up another sword, a weapon forged from continuous cloud copper, which also enhanced slaying monsters. The only difference was that this sword was heavier and tougher, making it suitable for battling large creatures.
Shaking his head, Yun Ye took up the Mingzhu bamboo sword, clasped his fists toward Yun Wen, and indicated he had made his choice.
"You actually chose a sword? Huo Yang, teach him how to use it."
Tong Yuan shook his head.
Since he wasn’t familiar with weapons, he should have chosen one that offers a longer attack range, at least to have a chance to strike first.
"Teaching him to use a sword could be interesting; I’m looking forward to what happens next. What do you all think?"
Yun Wen couldn’t help but laugh.
The others nodded, their expressions strange.
This girl clearly possessed the fire attribute, and she was completely misaligned with Yang Shi. The rank suppression of the fire element far exceeded that of other attributes.
…
"Huo Yang, don’t be afraid; I will bring you back to life."
The boy nearby encouraged her.
"I will."
Little Moon pressed her forehead, and as her small hand moved away, fiery patterns ignited, swirling flames wrapped around her.
The astonishing high temperature created billowing heat waves, as orange-red flames extended from her arm to the sword’s blade.
At that moment, she entered a battle state, her small face calm, her aura sharp as if it could cut through the air.
"Revive!"
Yun Ye casually waved the sword, and his Spiritual Roots directly revived, but unlike Little Moon, no flames appeared around him, as if his Spiritual Roots had not revived at all.
"Oh, he directly used Azure Flame; impressive!"
"……"
Tong Yuan frowned and glanced at Yun Wen. Sure enough, he was looking at him with a cold smile.
(So that’s how it is; is he feeling confident? This year, he actually got his hands on a genius, and the unseen flames give him a significant advantage among newcomers.)
"Without summoning the flames and completely unfamiliar with sword techniques, it seems you truly don’t know sword Spiritual Law…"
"Fire Sword Spiritual Law, please teach me!"
Flames surged into the sword, turning the patterns crimson. As she spoke, a murderous aura flashed past Little Moon, but Yun Ye felt as if he was being watched by a fierce beast, momentarily frozen in shock.
Little Moon was clearly not as friendly as she appeared; she lightly tapped the ground, instantly appearing beside Yun Ye, her speed so fast that Yun Ye could hardly react.
She even had time to stab with the sword rather than swing it, as thrusting was evidently more powerful given the sword’s design.
"Senior, retreat…"
"Boom!"
Before Little Moon finished her sentence, her thrust struck Yun Ye’s sword, explosively releasing a gust of air, as if there were an insurmountable cliff ahead, preventing any advance.
Yun Ye, somewhat late to comprehend, swung his sword to counterattack, but it was too slow. Little Moon easily deflected it, and the immense force slightly threw Yun Ye off balance. Countless thrusts rained down like a storm, but without exception, they all stopped near Yun Ye’s body.
In an instant, after delivering over a dozen strikes, Little Moon grew increasingly astonished.
An invisible barrier completely nullified her attacks!
How could this be possible?
This boy, clearly lacking in spirit energy and Spiritual Law compared to her, how was he able to completely nullify her attacks?
"Spiritual Tools are far harder to burn than Spiritual Laws and the human body."
After adjusting his stance, Yun Ye launched his attack.
He wielded the sword with the stance of Tiger Fist, moving in an extremely wild and chaotic manner.
Little Moon easily dodged and countered. If she didn’t have Azure Flame protecting her, Yun Ye would have been pierced countless times by now.
But the problem was Yun Ye had Azure Flame around him; the Extreme Flame allowed Yun Ye to be immune to any flames weaker than Azure Flame.
The invisibility of Azure Flame came from the fact that it neither emitted nor absorbed light; its ability as Extreme Flame meant that it was not truly invisible but immune to all flames with a lower temperature than itself.
Energy always travels from high to low; when a cultivator believes the Fire Element is creating flames, they can never heat a high-temperature object with low-temperature flames.
"I can’t penetrate at all; my fire spirit energy has been completely nullified. If I force a stab without spirit energy protection, the Spiritual Tool will be burned away… I need to use a stronger move; this absorption ability can’t be unlimited!"
Little Moon leaped back several seconds, appearing as if she were flying. During this process, she executed a multitude of incantations, extracting impressive fire spirit energy from the world. Before Yun Ye could reach her, flames formed a divine dragon, coiling in the sky.
A terrifying might illuminated the sky, dyeing the entire area an orange-red, extremely striking.
Yun Wen’s pupils constricted: "At just twelve years old, she has already enhanced her control enough to execute a major Spiritual Law? Damn it, are there this many geniuses?"
"With a good-level Spiritual Root almost entirely focused on spirit energy extraction, even if she just awakened her Spiritual Roots two years ago, she can still execute a major Spiritual Law—can she win a match?" Tong Yuan laughed heartily.
"Fire Sword Spiritual Law—"
"Flame Dragon!"
Little Moon decisively swung her sword. Having made her judgment, she would act; this move was destined to succeed!
Her red clothes and long hair danced wildly in the wind as a roaring flame dragon sliced through the air.
Though the flame dragon seemed cumbersome, it was incredibly fast. Yun Ye could only raise his sword in front of him before being engulfed.
"Boom!"
It felt as if he had collided with a massive mountain. Little Moon did not feel the sensation of overwhelming everything with her attack; her assault was being resisted—
I can’t lose!
The spiritual patterns on her forehead glowed brightly as Little Moon frantically drew fire spirit energy, desperately maintaining the roaring flame dragon!
As a result, the Mingzhu bamboo sword she used as a medium quickly turned crimson. The original cloud patterns had transformed red, but now the red was beginning to spread outward. This was a warning; once it reached the outermost edge of the blade, the Spiritual Tool would be destroyed.
But Little Moon, clearly, could not admit defeat. If she couldn’t defeat her opponent even with a move of this level, she would be utterly powerless.
She planted her feet on the ground, leaned forward, and swung her sword with all her might: "Ahhhhh!"
The flame dragon’s size further expanded.
With a thunderous roar!
The Training Ground exploded!
Little Moon could no longer maintain it and stumbled back several steps, her weapon riddled with cracks, almost ruined.
This scene left Tong Yuan’s expression somewhat amused.
He could clearly see through the smoke that his adopted daughter was about to lose.
"Thud thud thud thud!"
Yun Ye surged through the smoke, almost completely unharmed, except his sword was no longer in his hand… it had been burned away by Azure Flame.
But it didn’t matter. Against a cultivator who was nearly exhausted, a fist would suffice!
"We lost."
Yun Ye’s fist stopped before Little Moon, the wind from his fist blowing her hair wildly.
He withdrew his hand and cupped his fists in a respectful gesture.
Tong Yuan looked at Yun Ye in surprise; he had not expected Yun Ye to stop. Was he enchanted by Huo Yang?
A flash of ruthless energy briefly flickered in Little Moon’s eyes, but she quickly stood up, appearing somewhat lost and weary, and quietly said, "Thank you, Lord Yang Shi, for your mercy. Huo Yang has lost."
Yun Ye (⊙д⊙), his daughter?
