Chapter 99

Everyone was shocked!

The golden sword aura was indeed formidable.

Huang Yu took a deep breath and swallowed a pill.

He recovered significantly.

He walked step by step toward Wang Xiaowei.

Bending down, he lowered his head and looked at the fallen Wang Xiaowei, saying in a calm tone, "I won't kill you. Today is a great day for me to join Leichi Peak, so I won't kill you. Realm does not represent everything. Rapid cultivation without a solid foundation makes one vulnerable to defeat."

This was a blatant humiliation.

Wang Xiaowei, already severely injured, could not bear the stimulation and spat out a mouthful of blood, fainting instantly.

The few outer disciples who had a good relationship with Wang Xiaowei and had been cheering for him turned pale. They never expected that Wang Xiaowei, at the peak of the Spirit Realm and once considered the future peak master of Leichi Peak, would lose, and lose so miserably.

Noticing Huang Yu's gaze sweeping over them,

they quickly lowered their heads.

If Huang Yu decided to deal with them, it would be disastrous.

...

"Good." The steward, Hai Tianxiong, who was usually sparing with words, could not help but praise. This disciple was truly formidable, with astonishing talent, terrifying control, and extremely powerful mental strength. With the ancestral sword aura, his future was boundless.

"Uncle Huang is so amazing," Luo Wanruo exclaimed.

As one of the two inner disciples of Leichi Peak, Luo Wanruo was much more straightforward than Wang Xiaowei. She had never had much affection for Wang Xiaowei and disapproved of many of his actions. Seeing Huang Yu defeat Wang Xiaowei with only the Human Infant Realm cultivation, she felt very happy and excited.

"Good, very good." Fang Zhiqing was overjoyed. She never expected Huang Yu to be so powerful. His astonishing talent had already surpassed her imagination. He had even comprehended the Sword Momentum at the Human Infant Realm, which was truly astonishing.

Those who could comprehend the Sword Momentum were geniuses. Those who could comprehend it before the Thunder Tribulation Realm were geniuses among geniuses, prodigies among prodigies.

This young junior brother was not only a Thunder Saint Body but had also comprehended the Sword Momentum at the Human Infant Realm. It was too astonishing, too powerful.

Comprehending the Sword Momentum at the Human Infant Realm was unheard of.

Even in the entire Central Yuan Kingdom, there were no such cases. Perhaps only those ancient hidden families, hidden sects, or ancient prodigies could achieve this.

"Uncle Huang, Uncle Huang, you are so amazing." Luo Wanruo's clear voice rang in Huang Yu's ears.

This little girl, though a junior, had a voice like a skylark and a delicate face.

However, why did she add the word "little" before "uncle"?

"Uncle Huang, your move was so amazing. Can you teach me?" She blinked her beautiful big eyes, her delicate face making it hard to refuse.

However, Huang Yu was helpless. The Sword Momentum was not something that could be easily learned. It was not easy for him to learn it, even with the system's help. For her, it was even less realistic unless she was a prodigy among prodigies, a true prodigy.

"This..."

Huang Yu did not know what to say.

Fang Zhiqing also noticed Huang Yu's dilemma and embarrassment.

She said, "Wanruo, don't be silly. That is the Sword Momentum. Is it so easy to learn? It can only be comprehended through one's own efforts. Your Uncle Huang is a genius, a genius among geniuses, with excellent comprehension. That's why he could comprehend the Sword Momentum. If you want to comprehend it, you have a long way to go. Focus on building a solid foundation. One day, you can also achieve it and comprehend your own Sword Momentum."

"Okay."

Luo Wanruo pouted, feeling a bit wronged.

Huang Yu found this a bit speechless. This little girl did not seem like the type to act cute and innocent. She had a delicate and gentle face, more like a refined and gentle type, which did not match her character.

Of course, these thoughts could only be kept in his mind and not spoken aloud.

"Alright, Xiaoyu, come with me. I have something to tell you." Fang Zhiqing looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, disperse. Focus on your cultivation. The martial competition is in three months. I hope this time, Leichi Peak can secure a place. My requirement is not high; at least, we should enter the top ten."

These words were just for them.

The top ten was too difficult. How many people were there in Leichi Peak?

Originally, Wang Xiaowei was the main force for this competition. With him, plus Huang Yu and Luo Wanruo, entering the top ten was not impossible. However, now that Wang Xiaowei harbored hatred and would not cooperate with Huang Yu, the outcome of this martial competition would likely be the same as before, with no significant changes.

This was what the outer disciples and miscellaneous disciples thought.

However, Hai Tianxiong thought differently.

Although his cultivation was not particularly top-tier, he was very good at assessing people.

Huang Yu was young but had astonishing talent. He had defeated Wang Xiaowei, who was half a step into the Thunder Tribulation Realm, with only the Human Infant Realm cultivation. While luck played a part, it was definitely a testament to his strength. With the ancestral sword aura, not only entering the top ten but even the top three was possible. The main issue was whether he could advance his cultivation in these three months and break through to the Spirit Realm, which would secure him a place in the top three.

...

In the courtyard.

Fang Zhiqing and Huang Yu sat facing each other.

"I never expected your talent to be so good. The Thunder Saint Body, combined with the ancestral sword aura, is already astonishing. I never thought you would also comprehend the Sword Momentum at the Human Infant Realm, which is difficult even for the Thunder Tribulation Realm. Your talent is truly astonishing. I originally planned to give you the cultivation method when you reached the Spirit Realm, but now it can be advanced." Fang Zhiqing looked at Huang Yu, her tone filled with joy. For her, this was the greatest surprise. She never expected Huang Yu to be so outstanding, with talent even surpassing Mo Wuxie from three thousand years ago.

"What cultivation method?" Huang Yu was very interested when he heard it was a cultivation method. He looked at Fang Zhiqing's beautiful face; what he lacked now were cultivation methods and martial techniques.

Cultivation methods were one thing, but martial techniques were another. Currently, his sword technique only consisted of one move, Thunder Dragon's Wrath, and the Fufeng Sword Technique. As for the rest, there was nothing to speak of.

"It's not a cultivation method, but a sword technique."

"A sword technique?" Huang Yu was taken aback, feeling a bit disappointed. A single sword technique, no matter how powerful, was just one move. If it were a complete set of sword techniques, it would be more exciting.

"Don't underestimate this sword technique. If you can master this move, you will have entered the realm of sword dao." Fang Zhiqing, seeing Huang Yu's expression, knew what he was thinking. She smiled faintly and said, "Watch carefully. I will demonstrate it once, only once."

Fang Zhiqing walked to the center of the courtyard.

She stood casually, one hand forming a sword finger.

"Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Source."

Her lips parted, and she clearly spoke four words.

Her right hand slowly moved, and sword aura shot out from her fingertips, dense and numerous like a rain of swords, shooting out rapidly.

The distant wall crumbled in an instant, and dust rolled up.

"Such powerful force, such astonishing control."

Seeing this, Huang Yu was amazed. This move was too powerful.

"Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Source" was what he knew from the风云 (Fengyun) series, the most primitive and powerful sword technique comprehended by Tianjian Wuming.

The "Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Source" demonstrated by Fang Zhiqing was much more powerful.

"Did you see it clearly?"

"Clearly."

Huang Yu nodded. When Fang Zhiqing demonstrated, Huang Yu had already activated the Golden Ancient Pupil Technique.

Due to his improved strength, the Golden Ancient Pupil Technique had been further enhanced, truly reaching the minor accomplishment stage.

When Fang Zhiqing demonstrated "Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Source," Huang Yu had already engraved it in his mind and the system.

He had learned this sword technique.

"How much have you learned?" Although Huang Yu's talent was excellent, Fang Zhiqing did not think he had learned it completely. Comprehending three or four tenths was definitely possible.

Huang Yu nodded and said, "I have learned it."

Huang Yu's words left Fang Zhiqing extremely surprised.

Learned it completely? This... This was too astonishing.

"Junior brother, are you... joking?" Fang Zhiqing asked.

"Sister, this is the truth. If you don't believe me, I can demonstrate it, though I am still a beginner and not very proficient," Huang Yu said humbly.

"Show me, let me see." Fang Zhiqing said.

Huang Yu nodded and stood in the center of the courtyard.

"Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Source." Huang Yu lightly shouted, and sword aura shot out from his fingertips. However, compared to Fang Zhiqing's sword aura, Huang Yu's was much weaker, and the power was significantly less.

After Huang Yu demonstrated "Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Source," Fang Zhiqing looked at him as if she had seen a ghost.

This... was simply unbelievable.

This move was not easy to comprehend. She had spent a whole year comprehending "Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Source." Huang Yu, this young man, had comprehended it after just one demonstration, though it was still a bit clumsy. With a few more practices, it would be perfect.

Although he had comprehended it, Huang Yu felt curious. This sword technique, though unnamed, had astonishing power, giving him a sense of the雏形 (chuxing) of a sword domain.

This was a shortcut, a shortcut to cultivating a sword domain.

"Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Source" was, in essence, the雏形 (chuxing) of a sword domain.

It was not a true sword domain but likely derived from it.

Speaking of the sword domain, Huang Yu thought of the countless sword lights he had comprehended at the mountain gate, which were terrifying. Now, thinking about it, that move was very similar to "Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Source."

"Sister, I am very curious. This sword technique, I always feel I cannot fully unleash its power," Huang Yu said, though he suspected it was related to the sword domain and his own strength.

"This is normal. 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Source' requires a high level of mental strength. Your cultivation has not reached the required level, so you cannot fully unleash the advantages of this move," Fang Zhiqing nodded and said.
