Chapter 3404: Astounding Innate Talent
After Chen Mo fought two bouts, Ye Liuyun stayed on the front, wanting to give him a bit more time to recover.
The opponent this time fielded the strongest soldier, except that the soldier wielded a sword.
Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil saw that the sword intent seed in his Sea of Consciousness was clearly much weaker than his own, and he felt relieved, thinking that even if he fought a few more rounds, it wouldn't be a big problem.
Unexpectedly, when that soldier unsheathed his sword, he also stirred a stronger Heaven and Earth Power.
Although Ye Liuyun's blade intent was strong and suppressed him, he compensated with his own Heaven and Earth Power, so when Ye Liuyun slashed out his blade intent, he gained no advantage; instead, he was hit by the aftershock of the opponent's sword.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly, immediately stacking void in front of him with Spatial Power, blocking that sword.
But he instantly began to perceive the Heaven and Earth Power stirred when the opponent drew his sword, as well as the technique he obtained through Soul Search, and then studied how to apply it to his own blade intent.
Therefore, for his second slash, he was still slightly at a disadvantage compared to the opponent and had to use Spatial Power to aid his defense.
He also carefully observed the opponent's sword draw and discovered that the opponent had already infused Heaven and Earth Power into that sword during the charging phase, which made the charge far more complete than Ye Liuyun's method of adding the power after his own blade was released.
"So that's how it is!" Ye Liuyun understood at a glance.
His own techniques had all been self‑crafted before, so he was accustomed to studying methods; once he grasped a key, he could apply it to his attacks and defenses.
So for their third move, Ye Liuyun, like his opponent, began to blend Heaven and Earth Power into his blade intent right from the charging stage.
As expected, this time the effect was far better than before. He no longer needed to borrow Spatial Power for defense; he could completely block that sword.
Moving on to the fourth and fifth moves, Ye Liuyun was fully immersed in cultivation, and the Heaven and Earth Power driven by his blade intent grew stronger.
When he raised his blade again, his blade intent had completely suppressed the opponent, preventing the opponent from even lifting his sword.
"Open Heaven and Split Earth, none can block!"
Ye Liuyun suddenly recalled that line within his blade intent.
"It seems that to open Heaven and split Earth, blade intent alone isn't enough; one must fuse Heaven and Earth Power into it to fully unleash this domineering blade intent. Yes, it's borrowing the might of Heaven and Earth!"
Thinking this, Ye Liuyun felt his blade intent surge violently again; this time, even the surrounding soldiers sensed that domineering blade intent.
His blade intent reached the Taixu World, which normally would be unaffected, but its power was suppressed by the local Heaven and Earth, so the domineering aura was greatly diminished.
Now that domineering blade intent had been reclaimed, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
The blade intent seed in his Sea of Consciousness had fully transformed into a blade, flashing a dazzling Technique. Within that sphere of Technique, only a vague blade shape could be seen, no longer very concrete, showing signs of beginning to dissipate.
But at this moment, the opponent opposite him was in distress; under the domineering blade intent's suppression, he couldn't even lift his sword, his face turned ghost‑white with fear of Ye Liuyun's impending slash.
Xiao Han finally saw clearly that Ye Liuyun's cultivation talent far exceeds that of ordinary people; it was clearly something he had just practiced by following the opponent. M..
"Six slashes, and he mastered the opponent's technique, could even adapt it into his own moves, ultimately surpassing the opponent; this guy is a cultivation prodigy!" Xiao Han marveled in his heart.
But immediately, he also worried that Ye Liuyun would swing that slash, since the opponent was also his soldier. The subordinate was originally very powerful; it would be a pity if Ye Liuyun killed him.
However, he also knew that Ye Liuyun was now focused entirely on his blade intent; anyone trying to affect him would risk backfiring, causing the slash to fall.
So everyone was awaiting Ye Liuyun to sheath his blade.
Although Ye Liuyun was excited at this moment, he had only taken in a bit more of this domineering blade intent that harnesses Heaven and Earth's might, still not excited to the point of
losing his mind.
After feeling it, he slowly retracted his blade intent.
The soldier opposite broke out in sweat on his forehead; now he could move and repeatedly bowed to Ye Liuyun in thanks.
Ye Liuyun replied with a polite remark before going down to rest.
"How did you train this blade intent?" Chen Mo, this time faster than Liao Yaotian, asked Ye Liuyun eagerly.
He also wielded a blade, so he longed even more for blade intent. Yet his blade intent was far behind Ye Liuyun's, having just condensed a blade intent seed.
The main reason was his limited exposure in the barracks and few combat opportunities.
"Blade intent is forged through countless battles!" Ye Liuyun said frankly.
Chen Mo solemnly nodded, taking the lesson, feeling he should fight more in the future to improve his blade intent.
Afterward, Chen Mo and Ye Liuyun took turns on the field until the opponent sent out the final strongest soldier.
The soldier, upon arriving, was very courteous, first clasping his fists and introducing himself to Ye Liuyun.
"I am Qi Tianlin, Taixu First‑Peak Realm. Knowing you are strong, I wish to truly spar with you, so I won't hold back when I strike later.
You needn't worry; if you defeat me, you won't have to fight the subsequent battles, even if you win!"
Qi Tianlin felt it was rare to meet an equally matched opponent and wanted to give his all against Ye Liuyun for the thrill.
"Alright!" Ye Liuyun replied enthusiastically.
He still hadn't unleashed his full strength, so he felt the fight was somewhat unsatisfying.
Seeing his agreement, Qi Tianlin began his attack, immediately trying to suppress Ye Liuyun with Bloodline Power.
But Ye Liuyun suddenly erupted Bloodline Power, turning it around to suppress Qi Tianlin's Bloodline Power. Ye Liuyun's Bloodline Power was already strong, and he had merged a clone's Bloodline Power as well.
If he didn't restrain it, Qi Tianlin would have had no chance to act.
"So strong!" Qi Tianlin felt Ye Liuyun's Bloodline Power suppress him, but immediately retracted it, realizing Ye Liuyun was holding back.
Yet he couldn't help letting out a startled cry inside.
His Bloodline Power in the army was already considered strong, but he didn't expect Ye Liuyun's to be far stronger!
At this moment, Xiao Han was even more shocked.
Ye Liuyun had never used Bloodline Power before. When it suddenly burst out just now, even from that distance he felt his own Bloodline Power being suppressed.
"His Bloodline Power is that strong too? This guy can't be like me, perhaps a disciple from a great clan sent out for training?" Xiao Han, considering Ye Liuyun's overall strength, began to suspect.
Although he wouldn't look down on Martial Cultivators from the lower realms, in his impression, those from the lower realms weren't this powerful.
