Bab 276: Chapter 276: Retreat
...
Ling Yunfei stared in astonishment at the unfamiliar young man standing beside him, his throat felt dry, and he was incredibly shocked.
Without even releasing his Spirit ring, his sword was still his Martial Spirit. With just a seemingly ordinary strike, he was able to unleash such a powerful Sword Qi that inflicted heavy injuries on Tuoba Wu, the first in the Purple Spirit List, a target he considered surpassing.
Ling Yunfei couldn't believe his eyes as he witnessed this scene before him.
The soaring strike, the Sword Qi.
Is this a Spirit skill? Moreover, the Sword Qi he unleashed possessed the thunder and lightning attribute, which was the attribute of his own Martial Spirit. Could it be that he can use my Martial Spirit as a weapon and still produce such effects?
This is just too abnormal!
Ling Yunfei could use a skill similar to this Sword Qi. His second Spirit skill, Thunder Blade, was a Sword Qi attack infused with the attribute of thunder. However, he could only use it with his Spirit skills.
But this person, so casually, unleashed a move similar to his second Spirit skill, and it was even more powerful. What a terrifying level of attainment is this?
Could this young man, who appears to be of the same age as me, have a much higher level of sword Mastery? Is there an insurmountable gap between him and me?
This made Ling Yunfei somewhat difficult to accept. As a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, among the same-aged combat Spirit Masters focusing on sword Martial Spirits, he has always been the strongest, and is also the chief of the Sword Dao Hall, highly regarded by the elders of the sect who believe he may replace Sword Douluo and become the next Sword Douluo, the defender of the sect.
And Ling Yunfei himself has been working hard towards this goal. Being highly valued by the sect like this proves his exceptional talent. Among his peers in the combat department, he is also the strongest.
Although he ranked second on the Purple Spirit List, the first-ranked Tuoba Wu is two years older than him and has a Spirit power two levels higher. Even so, Ling Yunfei can still fight Tuoba Wu on equal footing, showcasing his formidable strength.
However, seeing the person before him, Ling Yunfei couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness and defeat.
The silver longsword in his hand turned into specks of light and disappeared, which surprised Zeng Yi and made him look at Ling Yunfei beside him.
Actually, it was Ling Yunfei retracting his own Martial Spirit into his body. It wasn't because he was being stingy and didn't want others to see his Martial Spirit, but having his Martial Spirit held by someone else made him feel uncomfortable.
In this world, everyone has a Martial Spirit, which can be said to be a part of their body or their Spirit.
Ling Yunfei had the feeling that his body was being touched when someone held his Martial Spirit, which would be fine if it were a woman, but as a man, it made him shiver with discomfort. So, he quickly dissipated his weapon.
"Cough, who are you? What do you want?" Tuoba Wu coughed a few times, enduring the discomfort in his body, and stared at Zeng Yi with a vigilant gaze, questioning him.
Having already consumed a lot of Spirit power from his battle with Ling Yunfei, coupled with taking on Zeng Yi's Sword Qi attack head-on, Tuoba Wu's current physical condition was already very poor. Even standing took a toll on his legs, which were slightly trembling. Just standing required a great deal of his strength.
As for this person before him, Tuoba Wu could ascertain that he had never seen him before. This person was also not wearing the sect's uniform, so he shouldn't be a disciple of the sect. If someone within the sect possessed such power, there's no way he hadn't heard of them.
Zeng Yi smiled and said, "I just intervened to stop a fight, I have no ill intentions, so you don't need to look at me like that."
"If it weren't for me stepping in on time, this friend would have been seriously injured. The sect does not allow personal battles. If he had been seriously injured, you would also face consequences. So, in a way, you should thank me for my timely intervention."
After hearing Zeng Yi's words, Tuoba Wu couldn't help but curse. I said you intervened to stop a fight, but then you unleashed a wide one-zhang-Sword Qi strike. If it weren't for the fact that I still had some remaining strength, I would be lying on the ground right now!
Indeed, he did have the intention to seriously injure Ling Yunfei because Ling Yunfei bothered him way too much. He would often come and block his path, wanting to challenge him for the top position on the rankings.
If it were at other times, it wouldn't be a big deal, but now he was at a critical moment of breaking through to the fortieth rank. Ling Yunfei kept coming to challenge him, making it impossible for him to peacefully cultivate.
When I become a Spirit Ancestor, won't you be the top then? It's already this late, and you're still coming to block my path and challenge me at my house, will it ever end?
So, Tuoba Wu took advantage of this opportunity to make Ling Yunfei lie down properly for over a month so that he would have enough time to break through the bottleneck of the fortieth rank.
When Tuoba Wu saw Zeng Yi unleash such a powerful Sword Qi attack, he was dumbfounded. It cost him the chance to dodge the attack with the best timing and could only withstand the attack head-on.
"Cough, heh, sorry about that." Faced with Tuoba Wu's scolding, Zeng Yi didn't get angry but rather embarrassedly scratched his head.
At that moment, Zeng Yi really intended to save someone, but the scene at that time was very fitting, and Zeng Yi couldn't help himself but show off with his actions.
Now thinking back, that scene was indeed indescribably cool, very pretentious, and his execution was very successful.
After all, it was his first time coming to the sect, so he had to leave a deep impression on his fellow disciples.
Zeng Yi turned and looked at Ling Yunfei who was still standing dumbfounded. He couldn't help but sigh internally. This really is a child who hasn't seen the world, getting shocked by such a small scene?
Zeng Yi reached out and patted his shoulder, using an encouraging tone, he said, "Keep it up, your strength is still pretty good, you just need to improve in terms of sword techniques. When it comes to attacks, don't just focus on Spirit skills, practice more basic sword arts, it will be beneficial for you."
Meeting a practitioner of sword arts and also from his own sect, Zeng Yi kindly gave him some guidance.
Moreover, this person's talent is truly impressive. At around the same age, he already has a thirty-seventh level of Spirit power. His talent is not inferior to the star players of the various prestigious Spirit Master academies, just like the Shrek Seven Devils before they consumed the Immortal Herb.
Above him, there is Tuoba Wu, whose strength is even stronger.
And the two of them are still on the Purple Spirit List, with an even stronger presence on the Black Spirit List.
From this, we can see that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, as one of the top three sects, has quite a number of talented individuals.
However, upon careful consideration, if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which has such vast and abundant resources, still falters in cultivating its disciples compared to those higher-level Spirit Master academies, then the title of the top three sects must just be a façade.
"Practice more basic sword techniques?" Ling Yunfei couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Was he just talking to me? Teaching me how to practice? But this basic sword technique, I learned it several years ago!
Suddenly, Zeng Yi sensed a Spirit power at the level of a Spirit Emperor rapidly approaching their location. He knew that the incident of them fighting had been reported and the elders of the sect were on their way.
At this moment, the correct course of action was...
Retreat!
"By the way, can you tell me which direction leads to the main hall of the sect?"
Ling Yunfei, who still hadn't snapped back to reality, subconsciously pointed in a direction for Zeng Yi.
Zeng Yi smiled and said, "Thanks, friend. Take care!"
"Xiao Ju, let's go!"
"Meow!"
Just as Zeng Yi finished speaking, there was a commotion in the nearby bushes, and then a small cat figure emerged from it. It was Xiao Ju.
Hearing Zeng Yi's call, Xiao Ju leaped up like lightning and landed steadily on Zeng Yi's shoulder. Afterward, Zeng Yi directly activated his first Spirit skill, Step Forward Slash, and disappeared from the spot.
To others, it seemed like Zeng Yi had vanished into thin air, like a ghost.
Just at the moment after Zeng Yi disappeared, the arriving Spirit Emperor elder appeared at the scene.
This time, Ling Yunfei, Tuoba Wu, and the few disciples watching were dumbfounded.
The Spirit Emperor elder gazed at the scene of complete devastation, a mess, and fell silent for a few seconds before erupting in an angry roar.
"All of you, go to the Punishment Hall to receive your penalties!!!"
