**Translation and Refinement:**
Gazing at Jio, Ye Wushuang spoke earnestly, “The Seven Ultimate Blade Techniques, with their seven strikes, gather the power of myriad methods, all emphasizing the essence of ‘absoluteness.’ However, if you could manage to hold back half of your force when delivering the first strike, and then attempt the second strike, and again, halfway through the second strike, hold back once more to deliver the third strike…”
“By extension, until the seventh strike, perhaps you would have an entirely different perception of this blade technique.”
Upon hearing Ye Wushuang’s words, Jio’s face was filled with astonishment as he looked at Ye Wushuang, while Mu Zili also stared blankly.
“What’s the matter?”
Sensing the odd gazes from the two, Ye Wushuang inquired earnestly.
“You… have a nosebleed…”
Jio was taken aback.
Ye Wushuang casually wiped away the blood from his nose and chuckled, “It’s nothing. The deduction of the spiritual technique has consumed a bit too much of my soul energy, but it’s no big deal.”
With that, Ye Wushuang turned to Mu Zili and said earnestly, “Brother Mu, tell me about the Spirit-Channeling Heavenly Fist Technique.”
Mu Zili immediately began to recount it.
Another two hours passed.
Ye Wushuang opened his eyes once more, with blood flowing from his nose. He spoke directly, “This fist technique, with its five strikes, transitions from fierce to unending. If Brother Mu were to reverse the process, he would understand why he feels something is missing.”
“Alright, alright, I’ll give it a try.”
Mu Zili hurriedly said, “You should rest well.”
Though they did not understand how Ye Wushuang had managed to deduce the essence of the two royal spiritual techniques based merely on the incantations they had shared, his current state was far from good.
His face was pale, and blood flowed from his nose.
This was certainly not something that could be explained merely by the consumption of soul energy.
Both Jio and Mu Zili began to practice the spiritual techniques once more.
On the third day, the two were utterly astonished.
After a day of contemplation, they had gained a complete understanding of the blade and fist techniques they had chosen.
“Brother Ye, you are truly divine!”
“Brother Ye is incredibly amazing!”
Mu Zili and Jio gathered around Ye Wushuang, their hearts filled with immense joy and awe.
Ye Wushuang had truly managed to help them uncover the unclear aspects of their techniques based solely on the incantations they had shared.
It was nothing short of miraculous!
Today was already the third day.
Tomorrow, the assessment would begin.
Ye Wushuang said earnestly, “Today is the last day. To be on the safe side, it would be better for both of you to practice with me.”
Upon hearing this, Jio’s face lit up with eagerness.
Mu Zili, however, expressed his concern, “You’ve helped us, but what about yourself?”
“Myself?”
“Yes!” Jio also suddenly realized, “You chose a sword technique, didn’t you? Don’t just focus on us.”
Ye Wushuang replied indifferently, “I learned it on the first day.”
“…”
“…”
Alright, forget we even said that!
Then, the three of them began to practice together in a corner once more.
Moreover, Ye Wushuang did not employ the Seven-Star Moonlight Sword Technique he had mastered. Instead, he wielded a blade against Jio’s blade and a fist against Mu Zili’s fist.
Similarly, Ye Wushuang executed the Seven Ultimate Blade Techniques and the Spirit-Channeling Heavenly Fist Technique.
This greatly shocked Mu Zili and Jio.
Ye Wushuang was truly not human!
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
On the fourth day, early in the morning, within the stone wall, the carefree figure of Tian Lizi reappeared.
With a gentle flick of his paper fan, Tian Lizi chuckled, “Nine of you, three days have passed. Now, it is time to see whether you can seize an opportunity!”
Li Qingyao, Li Baifeng, Li Yanran, as well as Yu Hao, Shang Tianqing, and Tian Yuanbing, all stood in front of the stone table.
Ye Wushuang, Mu Zili, and Jio also stayed together.
“How will the test be conducted?” Li Qingyao inquired.
“Simple!”
With a wave of his hand and a sweep of his fan, a gust of wind surged forth, and the nine individuals were involuntarily propelled into the interior of the stone wall.
In the next moment, the nine figures appeared within the stone wall space.
Before their eyes lay a vast valley, spanning a thousand zhang in width.
On the valley floor stood nine platforms, each ten zhang high and a hundred zhang in length and width.
The nine figures now landed on the nine platforms respectively.
Simultaneously, at the deepest part of the valley, a towering mountain, a thousand zhang high, with winding and twisting steps leading to the summit, came into view.
At the summit, there seemed to be an aura of mist, lingering and dispersing not easily. Even from a distance, the nine individuals could all sense the pure and powerful energy emanating from the peak.
It was a feeling of such invigoration that it seemed as if every organ in their bodies could breathe freely.
“There lies the Cloud-Wreathed Pool,” Tian Lizi’s figure appeared in mid-air, and he smiled slightly, “As long as you can leave the platforms alive, you may proceed to the Cloud-Wreathed Pool to cultivate, and then move on to the next place to gain an immense opportunity!”
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the nine individuals varied.
Shang Tianqing asked, “May I ask what the assessment will be?”
“Combat!”
As Tian Lizi’s voice fell, in an instant, beams of light rose from around the nine platforms, forming columns of light that separated each platform.
With the rise of these beams of light, on the nine platforms, endless light swirled. On each platform, a light point appeared, continuously gathering, growing stronger, and solidifying…
The nine individuals were all on high alert.
What would appear next would undoubtedly be their opponents!
