Chapter 62: Hunting the First
distance, Xia Xianzi and He Chen and several others did not make a move, but they were also paying attention to this battle.When they saw this sudden 'blood light' appear and slaughter three of their...Northern Azure Three Volumes Sword Art.
Lei Huo Juan focuses on offense, while Shan Hai Juan focuses on defense.
However, of these three scrolls of swordsmanship, the most terrifying and awe-inspiring is the Phantom Scroll.
The Shadow Scroll contains five sword techniques, which are also its five deadly moves.
Of these five sword techniques, the first form, An Guang, and the second form, Nong Ying, are relatively easy to understand.
Now we've arrived at the third style of swordsmanship, which is a huge threshold.
It is not only necessary to have a profound understanding of sword intent, but also extraordinary swordsmanship talent to comprehend it.
The two palace masters of Tiangyan Palace previously thought that with Su Xin's understanding of sword intent, it was impossible to master the third layer of Lei Huo 奧義 secret technique. However, in reality, the third form of this illusory scroll was even more difficult to master than the third layer of Lei Huo奧義 secret technique, so much so that they didn't even dare to consider it.
Result...
"A thousand miles in one line... This phantom's third form was just like its name, a sword strike that instantly crossed nearly 'a thousand miles' with its blade glow, so fast it was unbelievable.
"With Su Xin's strength, it's almost impossible for anyone in the Huaihai Realm to withstand this move. Xia Mang lost under this sword, it's not undeserved.
The Lord of the Imperial Moon Palace sighed softly.
“With the mastery of Haien’s perfection, he has brought both Leihuo and Shanhai scrolls to their ultimate form. Even Xuying scroll allows him to unleash the third style, Qianli Yixian. This Su Xin’s swordsmanship talent…” The Qingyang Palace Master stared intently at Su Xin with furrowed brows.
I thought I already had a high opinion of Su Xin before.
But he never expected that Su Xin's swordsmanship talent would be even more terrifying than he had imagined.
The master of the Imperial Moon Palace had previously said that Su Xin's talent in swordsmanship ranked among the top three swordsmanship prodigies in the history of the Tianyan Palace. Now, seeing Su Xin display the Thousand Miles One Line, even the master of Qingyang Palace believed that Su Xin's swordsmanship talent was worthy of being called the first in the history of the Tianyan Palace.
"With such talent, if left to grow, it would pose a threat to His Royal Highness in the future…" Qingyang Palace Master's eyes turned cold.
The two Palace Masters of Tianyan Palace were top-tier powerhouses in the Nirvana Realm, with high vision and insight. They could see through the true mystery of Su Xin's sword just now.
On the scene, most of the densely packed hundreds of thousands of spectators couldn't see it.
They only saw Su Xin make a move, in just an instant, they didn't see clearly how Su Xin swung his sword, but Xia Mang was already defeated.
"Awoo awoo awoo!!!"
A thunderous roar of cheers, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami surging, echoed throughout the vast hall.
"Su Xin!!"
"Su Xin!!"
Hundreds of thousands of spectators roared Su Xin's name.
At this moment, Su Xin undoubtedly has become the most dazzling presence on the stage.
He is undoubtedly the first place winner of this year's royal hunting in the Heavenly Flame Dynasty!
He is also the most dazzling and stunning super genius in this generation of the Heavenly Flame Empire!!
"This kid, he really didn't disappoint me."
In that inconspicuous corner, the man in gray was also smiling.
"Having cultivated to perfection and sweeping aside all the talented individuals, I undoubtedly secured first place in this hunt. With such talent and prowess, hmph, who dares question my judgment"
That day at Yan Palace, they had previously refused to give special recruitment quotas. What blind eyes they have!
The gray-clothed man smiled, occasionally glancing towards the direction of Di Yue Palace Master and Qing Yang Palace Master. His gaze held a hint of pleasure, and even when Qing Yang Palace Master looked over, he raised his chin with a smug, even provocative air.
Evidently Su Xin's performance on this hunt saved him from embarrassment.
"He didn't get a special recruitment quota, but entered the Heavenly Flame Palace directly as this year's top hunting genius. This kid is truly impressive." The gray-clothed man glanced down at Su Xin again, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration.
……
In the midst of thunderous cheers, the purple-haired elder announced the result of the final match.
Su Xin defeated Xia Mang, winning all four matches and becoming the champion of this hunt. After entering the Tianyan Palace, he will also receive a starting resource of 10,000 fire points.
As for Xia Mang, he ranked second and could also obtain 5,000 fire points after arriving at the Heavenly Inferno Palace.
After the results were revealed, this hunting season came to an end.
The audience in the stands were also amazed and discussing among themselves as they gradually left the venue.
Su Xin and Xia Mang have also returned to the war preparation area.
Duan Yunfeng, who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately greeted him.
"Wow, brother, you're amazing!"
“I originally thought my hidden strength was already abundant, but I didn't expect you to be even crueler! The last sword you used should be the third style of Phantom Shadow Roll, right I heard that the third style of Phantom Shadow Roll is extremely difficult to comprehend, and it requires a very high level of understanding of sword intent.”
Duan Yunfeng bombarded everyone with several questions right off the bat.
It was clear he was very excited, as if he had won first prize himself.
And in fact, after Duan Yunfeng’s strongest trump card was easily crushed by Xia Mang, Duan Yunfeng even felt that no one else could stop Xia Mang during this hunt.
He couldn't have expected that his acknowledged brother, Su Xin, would actually defeat Xia Mang head-on. Of course, he was happy.
Su Xin also smiled and answered one by one, his mood was equally joyful.
Xu Xin
Xia Mang walked to Su Xin's face.
“Well, Xia Mang, do you have any more complaints” Duan Yunfeng looked at Xia Mang with some arrogance.
"Losing is losing, there's nothing to be dissatisfied with. Your strength is indeed greater than mine," Xia Mang stared at Su Xin and said, "After this hunt, you and I will both enter the Heavenly Flame Palace for cultivation. At the Huanghai realm, it's impossible for me to catch up to you. When we both break through to the Po Xu realm in the future, if there's a chance, we can have a rematch."
"Let's compare after you break through to the Void Realm." Su Xin smiled.
This summer, even Mang has some self-awareness.
His cultivation had already reached the peak of the Huahhai realm, his skills and artistic conception were equally at their most extreme level. It could be said that at this level of the Huahhai realm, he had completely reached his limit and there was no room for further improvement.
Unlike Su Xin, Su Xin had just broken through to the peak of the Huanghai Realm. He still had a lot of room for improvement in this realm.
So he knew that in the Huhai Realm, he could no longer be Su Xin's opponent. That's why he made an agreement to break through to the Po Xu Realm afterwards and then compare their strengths again.
"Su Xin could laughingly agree to it."
For a top talent like Xia Mang, Su Xin holds great respect.
In the previous match, he really did give it his all.
The reason it is 'almost' is because he still hasn't used his ultimate trump card, the Divine Extinction Technique, and besides, he has only activated 70% of his bloodline power.
As his cultivation increased, the amount of bloodline power he could tap into grew larger and larger. The boost to his overall strength from bloodline power became more astonishing. Simply activating 70% of his bloodline power already caused a surge in his strength.
And ten percent of his bloodline power... once unleashed, it would be enough to push his strength to a whole new level.
He didn't want to be too ostentatious, after all, if someone saw that his bloodline power level was too high, it would attract endless trouble.
At that moment, Su Xin suddenly saw someone in the crowd.
Master Su Xin from the Wu Dynasty went up.
"Congratulations, Su Xinshi! Winning first place in the hunt again. As always, Wu Chao is smiling broadly, radiating a kind and approachable aura."
"Master Wu, you're being too modest. If you hadn't admitted defeat willingly and had continued to spar round after round like the others, by the time we reached the final battle, I might not have been your match," Su Xin said, gazing at Master Wu before him.
This is not humility.
From the first time he saw this Crow in that hunting ground, Su Xin had a feeling, this Crow... was very strong, incredibly strong!
It is even possible that it could be stronger than Xiaoman.
But later, this Wu Dynasty proactively conceded defeat, so there was no chance for a real confrontation between them.
This also made Su Xin curious about his abilities.
"Master Wu Chao, may I ask a question If we truly fought, what are my chances of winning" Su Xin asked.
Wu Chao glanced at Su Xin, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke, "Your strength is astonishing, and in the Hailing Realm, you still have immense room for improvement. If you can elevate your cultivation to the peak of the Hailing Realm, this monk would not be your opponent."
This startled Su Xin.
After reaching the peak of the Sea Transformation realm, this Wu Chao only then realized he was not an opponent.
That is to say, he is only at the level of fulfilling the sea at the moment. Then this Wu Chao has the confidence to defeat him.
"As expected, there are mountains higher than mountains," Su Xin smiled faintly.
He did not feel any pride or arrogance because he defeated Xia Mang and won first place in the hunt.
He was very clear that the world was vast.
Even the Heavenly Flame Dynasty is just one of countless dynasties in the Eastern Desolation. Winning first place in a hunt within a single dynasty means nothing at all. There are many who have surpassed him in strength even among those at the Sea Transformation realm in this world.
For example, during this war period, he didn't have the confidence to win.
……
As for what Wu Chao said, Su Xin had no doubt. But Duan Yunfeng standing beside him was unwilling to accept it.
"Hi, Master Yun, I didn't expect you to be so arrogant. You said that you wouldn't be my opponent until my brother's cultivation reached the peak of the Huanghai stage. Are you now his opponent" Duan Yunfeng said.
He was pleased because Su Xin had defeated Xia Mang, when he suddenly heard what Wu Chao said...
Wu Chao smiled and didn't explain much, instead saying, "Master Su Xin has extraordinary talents, and his future achievements will surely be remarkable. If there is an opportunity in the future, you and I will meet again at Jiusheng Mountain."
"Mount Jiusheng"
Duan Yunfeng, who had been extremely displeased with the Wu dynasty, instantly changed his expression upon hearing the three words "Jiusheng Mountain," "Great Master, you actually came from Jiusheng Mountain"
Even Xia Mang, who was standing at the back, showed surprise when he heard about Jiusheng Mountain.
"Mount Jiusheng What is Mount Jiusheng" Su Xin looked puzzled.
Although he was the youngest son of the Su family and came from a wealthy background, Jiu Sheng Shan had never heard of him.
At this time, the Heavenly Flame Sovereign Lord, and the two Palace Masters of the Heavenly Flame Palace had already descended from the high platform and walked over.
"See your Majesty!"
All the numerous geniuses who remained here bowed respectfully.
"Rise, everyone," the Heavenly Inferno Emperor waved his hand, and everyone stood up.
"Xia Mang"
"First, Tianyan Emperor looked at Xia Mang, who was a royal descendant. He said, "This hunt, your performance has been very good. After arriving at Tianyan Palace, practice harder."
"Xia Mang nodded."
"The Heavenly Emperor of the Crow Dynasty looked at Crow Dynasty again.
"
"The poor monk has seen Your Majesty, and I bow once more."
Looking at Wu Chao before him, Emperor Tianyan frowned. "Your origins, including the purpose of your visit, I am already aware of. This time, I will not blame you. But if there is a next time, and you cause trouble with that girl again, then I will no longer show leniency."
"I remember Wu Chao's smile, but it seemed a bit awkward."
Su Xin
Only then did the Heavenly Flame Emperor look at Su Xin, a smile already on his face.
…… once felt incredibly small when facing his master, the Sixth Mountain Lord. The invisible pressure was immense.And now, being stared at by this dragon, the feeling of oppression is dozens of times st...
