Chapter 56: Sword Heart Complete, My Heart Is the Sword!

Sword Cultivators have always been an extremely powerful existence among cultivators.

Lin Ya was willing to walk the Sword Path, so Lin Feng chose for him the road of planting a Sword Heart in the Bitter Sea.

Now that the Sword Heart has erupted, the outcome is half good, half bad.

If he can survive this tribulation, his path on the Sword Path will be smooth and unobstructed.

If he cannot get through it, Lin Ya's very life is likely in peril.

Streams of pure Sword Qi continuously emerged, spreading outward in all directions.

This power originated from Lin Ya's dantian, washing through his limbs and bones — this was the first trial of the Sword Heart's eruption.

"Lin Ya, he…"

Lin Xuan's face was full of astonishment; she had not expected Lin Ya to harbor such power within him.

Lin Yan was also deeply shocked.

Though happy in his heart that the Lin Family had produced a Heaven's Chosen.

He also felt a trace of competitive thought.

He was no worse — he too was one of the Lin Family's Three Heroes.

Lin Feng reached out a hand, Spirit Qi gushing forth, scattering all those Sword Qi entirely, so as to prevent the rest of the Lin Family from being harmed.

Every bit of this was taken in by Huang Ling'er, who was hiding.

At this moment, Huang Ling'er's eyes were filled with terror.

"A Sword Cultivator! And one with peerless talent!"

"Isn't that the brat who buried me?"

Huang Ling'er recognized Lin Feng and Lin Ya, but did not dare to come out — her Cultivation was insufficient; if she went out again, would she just be dug up and buried once more?

Besides, at this moment she had also discovered the Lin Family's secret.

That Lin Ya actually harbored a Sword Heart!

"Leiling Province has produced a Heaven's Chosen!"

Huang Ling'er sighed inwardly — such a Heaven's Pride, if she could draw him into the Yao Sect, the Yao Sect's strength would surely rise to the next level.

For a moment, Huang Ling'er's hatred toward Lin Ya was no longer so strong.

But toward Lin Feng, Huang Ling'er remained furious.

"I'll spare you today. Once this Saintess finds a chance in the future, I'll make you pay!"

Huang Ling'er flashed away, not lingering for a single moment.

The Lin Family members gathered together to observe Lin Ya's Sword Heart eruption.

At this moment, they were all sweating for him.

"Pfft, pfft…"

Muffled sounds came from within Lin Ya's body, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Clan Leader, Brother Lin Ya seems unable to endure it anymore!" Lin Xuan shouted anxiously.

Lin Feng naturally saw all of this clearly, but he could not intervene.

Now everything could only rely on Lin Ya himself.

However, though he could not intervene, that did not mean Lin Feng had no way to guide him.

"Lin Ya! Why do you practice the sword!" Lin Feng suddenly roared.

Lin Ya, who was being tormented by Sword Qi to the point of half-death, half-life, shuddered all over upon hearing these words. He opened his mouth as if about to answer.

"Lin Ya! Why do you take up the sword!"

Lin Feng stepped forward.

At this moment, the Sword Qi had already formed a storm, vast and mighty, like a tornado, rushing toward the heavens.

An Anomaly spread outward, and the sound of sword-chimes carried through the sky.

Even people far away in Ziyun City could clearly hear the sword-chimes.

"What's going on?"

"Such powerful Sword Qi — where is it coming from?"

"Such a terrifying aura — could it be that a powerful expert has descended upon our Ziyun City?"

Countless people raised their heads one after another, their gazes filled with fear.

City Lord Shen Ao flew out, his face ashen.

"Is some Great Expert of the Sword Path near my Ziyun City? Such terrifying Sword Intent — Leiling Province hasn't seen its like in a hundred years. Could it be a Great Expert from another province who has come to Ziyun City?"

Shen Ao guessed in his heart, but could not pin it down.

On Thatched Cottage Mountain, the Sword Qi was even more intense, forcing the younger generation of the Lin Family to retreat once more.

Only Lin Feng could stand at Lin Ya's side.

"Lin Ya! What is the sword!"

As Lin Feng spoke his final question, the Sword Qi suddenly halted in an instant.

Lin Ya's eyes snapped open. All the Sword Qi storm gathered inward completely. He shuddered all over, then stood up with a tall, straight figure, like the sharpest sword in the world.

"I practice the sword only for the Lin Family! I take up the sword to protect!"

"I am the sword — I am the sword of the Lin Family!"

Lin Ya roared out, his eyes filled with a clarity pure and bright.

In his dantian's Bitter Sea, a resplendent golden Sword Flower slowly unfurled — the Sword Heart was complete.

The flower bloomed, giving birth to Sword Qi. From now on, Lin Ya had thoroughly stepped onto the Sword Path, no longer lost.

He had, in truth, overcome this trial of the Sword Heart.

"Well done!" Lin Feng said with a smile and a nod.

Today, his Sword Heart Three Questions to Lin Ya were merely to clarify Lin Ya's true intent, so that he would not be lost in the future.

These three questions happened to solidify Lin Ya's mind.

S-Class Aptitude meant high Comprehension—Lin Ya instantly understood Lin Feng's intention, and thus broke through himself.

"Clan Leader!"

"I am able to step onto the Sword Dao entirely thanks to the Clan Leader's guidance. Now that I have reached Sword Heart Great Completion, my heart is like a sword!"

Lin Ya was immensely excited; all the Spirit Qi on his body vanished without a trace.

Instead, only a faint wisp of Sword Qi lingered around him—reserved, yet no less sharp!

This sword of the Lin Family has been forged successfully!

"Brother Lin Ya!"

Lin Xuan immediately rushed forward, grabbing Lin Ya and looking him over left and right, extremely curious.

The other Clan Members also walked over, their eyes full of shock.

"Truly worthy of being our Lin Family's Heaven's Pride!"

"Brother Lin Ya will only have a smooth road ahead from now on…"

"So envious. I wonder when I will ever have talent like Brother Lin Ya."

Everyone praised him one after another, making Lin Ya quite embarrassed.

At this moment, Lin Feng looked toward Lin Yan. A glint flashed in his eyes. Just then, Lin Yan walked over—he was quite composed.

Facing Lin Ya's achievement, he was neither envious nor jealous.

He was simply himself.

"Lin Yan, don't you want to say something?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.

Lin Yan scratched his head and said, "Congratulations, Brother Lin Ya!"

Hearing this answer, the corner of Lin Feng's mouth twitched, but he said no more. He was seen taking a Qi sphere out of his Storage Bag.

Within that Qi sphere, a flame was wrapped.

The moment this item appeared, the surrounding temperature suddenly climbed. The Lin Family juniors all moved away from Lin Feng one after another; only Lin Yan stood there stunned, frozen in place.

"The Hundred Clans Assembly is still a few months away. In this last bit of time, I want you to break through as soon as possible. This item—I bestow it upon you."

Lin Feng smiled. This was originally his investment in Lin Yan.

"Absorb it. Success means limitless future; failure, and even I don't know the consequences. Do you dare?"

Hearing these words, Lin Yan strode forward.

He took that Qi sphere and directly swallowed it in one gulp.

That was the Seven Star Spirit Fire—Burning Heaven Immortal Wrath!

A terrifying might erupted from Lin Yan's body. In an instant, the Lin Family crowd all fell to the ground; only Lin Xuan and Lin Ya could still barely hold on.

The scorching temperature instantly spread outward, and two Fire Dragons emerged from within Lin Yan's body.

Gradually, those two Fire Dragons were actually absorbed back into Lin Yan.

"Clan Leader, what did you give Brother Lin Yan to eat?"

Lin Xuan greedily licked her lips.

Lin Feng gave an exasperated pat on her little head—the Seven Star Spirit Fire Burning Heaven Immortal Wrath cannot be eaten carelessly.

Lin Yan also sat cross-legged on the ground.

Flames continuously burst out around him; every wisp of Spirit Qi that left his body was ignited.

Great fire spread all around, no less intense than the Sword Qi on Lin Ya's body.

Lin Feng waved his hand and sent out Spirit Qi, helpless in his heart.

These two juniors, one more monstrous than the other—Sword Qi on one, fire Qi on the other.

In the end, it's all left for Lin Feng to clean up.

At the same time, an Anomaly also descended from the heavens.

A flaming fierce tiger leapt into the sky, raised its head, opened its mouth, and let out a Tiger Roar.

The sound of that Tiger Roar pierced through the entirety of Ziyun City!
