Chapter 60: Perfect Level Sword Technique

The next day.

Ye Tian entered the Sky Dome Network again to participate in the competition, fighting and battling against various Ability Masters.

He did not know how many matches he needed to participate in, but at this moment, he no longer valued victory or defeat, only enjoying the tempering of his Sword Technique through combat.

Just as the battles were about to end today, he encountered an Ability Master who had cultivated their Blade Technique to the Perfect Level.

As soon as they clashed, Ye Tian was crushed.

Even though he gave it his all, he only lasted for three moves before being completely defeated.

This was also the first match Ye Tian had lost.

"I underestimated others; I thought my Incipient Sword Technique was very powerful, but I didn't expect that among the Ability Masters, there would actually be someone who had cultivated their Blade Technique to the Perfect Level!"

Ye Tian muttered to himself.

Every strike and every attack from his opponent was incomparably perfect, leaving him unable to find any flaws, while he himself kept revealing openings under the opponent's Blade Technique attacks.

Of course, losing just one match would not affect his entry into the second round of the competition.

After the second day's competition ended, Ye Tian continued to cultivate his Sword Technique using the Enlightenment Technique, and this time the progress was even more terrifying.

"Almost broke through!"

Ye Tian muttered to himself.

His current level of Sword Technique had already reached the limit of the Incipient level, and he was only one step away from crossing into the Perfect Level.

"I need to find someone to fight and temper myself; that should allow me to break through to the Perfect Level!"

But who to find?

Li Haoyang or Lin Su?

"Better find Instructor Li Haoyang; he is my instructor after all. Instructor Lin Su was only helping me cultivate my Sword Technique, and since the guidance has ended, it wouldn't be very appropriate for me to seek her out again."

Thus, Ye Tian went to find Instructor Li Haoyang.

"Instructor!"

Ye Tian called out respectfully.

"Ye Tian, what is it?" Li Haoyang asked.

"I would like to spar with you, Instructor, on the Weapon Dao?" Ye Tian stated his purpose.

"Spar? Are you sure?"

Li Haoyang revealed a strange expression.

"Cough, cough, actually, I am asking for guidance. My current Sword Technique level has reached the peak of the Incipient level, and I am just one step away from reaching the Perfect Level," Ye Tian said truthfully.

"What, you are about to break through to the Perfect Level?" Li Haoyang was greatly shocked, "How long have you even been cultivating Sword Technique with Lin Su?"

"Although I haven't been cultivating for long, I am diligent!"

Ye Tian boasted shamelessly.

Diligent?

Is this something that can be achieved by diligence?

Li Haoyang was provoked, and after a long while, he replied: "Fine, let's go to the Sky Dome Network to spar. The Sky Dome Network has personal space invitations; I can enter your personal space, and we can spar and fight in your personal space."

"Many thanks, Instructor!"

Ye Tian and Li Haoyang entered the Sky Dome Network together.

Very quickly.

Instructor Li Haoyang was invited by Ye Tian into his personal space.

The two of them fought and sparred right there.

"Attack me with all your might!"

Li Haoyang said.

And he also controlled his strength, as his physical fitness in the Sky Dome Network was that of a Peak Ability Grandmaster, far beyond what Ye Tian could compare to.

Clang!

The two clashed.

However, no matter how Ye Tian attacked, he could not touch even a corner of Li Haoyang's clothes.

Li Haoyang only blocked without attacking.

"Instructor, I need pressure!"

Ye Tian said.

"Alright!"

Li Haoyang attacked, each blade strike reaching the Perfect-level Blade Technique, yet he did not kill Ye Tian; every attack forced Ye Tian to face the threat of death.

Under such pressure, Ye Tian improved bit by bit, but it was impossible to easily break through to the Perfect Level Sword Technique.

Ten minutes!

Half an hour!

An hour passed!

"Instructor, that's enough. An hour of sparring has already troubled you enough; you should go back and rest, as you have a competition tomorrow too," Ye Tian shouted.

"Alright then, ponder it yourself!"

Li Haoyang went offline.

However, he did not believe that Ye Tian could break through his Sword Technique after just this one battle; if it were that easy to break through, Perfect Level Sword Techniques would have been everywhere.

Back then, he had stayed at the Incipient level of Blade Technique for three years, and only luckily broke through his Blade Technique during a life-and-death battle in the Earth Cave World.

Of course, he did not discourage Ye Tian by saying Ye Tian could not break through.

Ye Tian also went offline quickly, then alone activated the Enlightenment Technique to make his comprehension skyrocket, and began to cultivate his Sword Technique.

He kept recalling the battle just now; the bottleneck of his Sword Technique seemed to have been worn away bit by bit.

Late at night.

Ye Tian was still practicing; in the darkness, he seemed to have attained enlightenment, truly attained it.

Sometimes, a Sword Technique is just that wondrous; once you attain it, you attain it, but if you cannot, no amount of bitter cultivation will have any meaning.

Whoosh!

In the dark night, a white light streaked across, forming a sword light trail that did not dissipate for a long time.

A mark left in the void, the sword light not dissipating.

This is the Perfect Level Sword Technique!

Once reaching the Perfect Level Sword Technique, it is no longer merely sword technique skill, but involves the mysteries of heaven and earth; if the power of other Artistic Conceptions is added, the might will be extremely terrifying.

Moreover, only at this moment did he truly realize the power of the Perfect Level Sword Technique.

This is still only the Perfect Level Sword Technique; if one were to comprehend a Sword Intent level Sword Technique, killing enemies across ranks would be simply effortless.

"I must rest for a while; to comprehend the Perfect Level Sword Technique, my mental consumption was severe, I must sleep to replenish."

Morning.

Ye Tian woke up, and after eating something, he entered the Safe House and logged into the Sky Dome Network.

Today is the last day of the first round of the competition; after today's matches, the Top One Hundred will be decided.

After comprehending the Perfect Level Sword Technique, he knew he was almost one hundred percent certain to obtain a spot in the Top Ten of the Ability Master Tournament, feeling absolutely no pressure.

Soon, the competition began.

"Instant kill!"

"Instant kill!"

"Instant kill!"

Ye Tian did not encounter any opponents; they were all instant kills, and occasionally encountering a few Micro Level opponents, he also resolved them in a few moves.

After every match ended, he would go to observe the Grandmaster Level matches, watching the battles of one Grandmaster after another.

The Ability Grandmasters who can participate in the main tournament all have weapon skills that have reached the Perfect Level, but the Conception level cannot exert its full strength on the Sky Dome Network because the power of Sword Intent and Blade Intent cannot be unleashed.

However, being able to reach the Conception level in weapons means their combat skills, as well as their control and explosive power of the body, will still surpass the Perfect Level.

Therefore, the Perfect Level still cannot beat the Conception level on the Sky Dome Network Battle Platform, but the gap will not be too large.

"The Grandmaster Level matches are truly spectacular!"

Ye Tian muttered.

Although his Sword Technique had entered the Perfect Level, compared to the Perfect Level of these Grandmasters, there was still a large gap.

After all, his combat experience was still lacking, and his control and explosive power of his body were not as good as theirs.

However, he was improving every single moment!

Unknowingly, today's matches ended.

At dusk, the Top One Hundred of the Ability Master Tournament were announced.

Ye Tian was impressively on the list.

And he took a look; Lin Su and Li Haoyang had actually both fought their way into the Top One Hundred of the Grandmasters.

But Ye Tian had watched their matches and estimated that they had just barely made it into the Top One Hundred; it could be said that entering the second round was very perilous.

Logged off.

Ye Tian went to Instructor Li Haoyang.

At this time, Instructor Li Haoyang was in a very good mood, a smile hanging on his face the whole time.

"Instructor, congratulations on entering the Top One Hundred of the Grandmaster Level matches!"

Ye Tian congratulated him.

"Pure luck, pure luck!" Li Haoyang smiled and said, "If it weren't for a few matches where I performed beyond my normal level, I probably wouldn't have made it in."

"Instructor, shall we go spar again?"

Ye Tian said.

"Good, I will give you some more pointers!"

Li Haoyang had not watched Ye Tian's matches and assumed Ye Tian's Sword Technique was still at the limit of the Micro Level.

But soon.

Sky Dome Network, personal space.

"Your Sword Technique has broken through to the Perfect Level????"

Li Haoyang was shocked.
