Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System - Chapter 133: Genius Li Yun!

Chapter 133: Genius Li Yun!

As Ye Beichen finished speaking, a piercing pressure erupted from his body. The force was so intense that even the disciples watching from afar were immediately affected.

“What is this? My scalp feels like it is about to explode. If I had not protected myself with qi, I would already be injured.”

“Same here, and the most terrifying part is that Ye Beichen has not even attacked yet.”

“This pressure… it is Sword Intent!”

“Sword Intent? That is impossible. I have only ever heard that a few geniuses from the inner halls managed to comprehend Sword Intent, and even among them, such people were exceedingly rare, geniuses among geniuses.”

“That is not true Sword Intent.”

At that moment, a disciple who clearly had deeper knowledge spoke up, his eyes widening in shock. “This is the pressure of a Sword Intent Seed. Ye Beichen has only comprehended a Sword Intent Seed, and what we are feeling is the aura it releases.”

The moment those words were spoken, the surrounding disciples were thrown into complete astonishment.

As disciples of the Martial Ascension Gate, one of the four great sects of the Southern Martial Domain, their knowledge was far from shallow. Everyone present knew exactly what an Intent Seed represented. Precisely because of that, the revelation that Ye Beichen had comprehended a Sword Intent Seed shocked them to the core.

For ordinary disciples, comprehending an Intent Seed was the stuff of legends. For most martial artists, it was an unattainable dream. Only geniuses with extraordinary comprehension and cultivation talent could even hope to touch this realm, and many of them would remain stuck at the Intent Seed stage for years without further progress.

Yet Ye Beichen was only nineteen years old.

That meant he still had ample time to advance and eventually comprehend true Sword Intent. To the disciples watching, this was almost inconceivable.

“Take this attack of mine!”

As the aura of sword intent reached its peak, Ye Beichen roared. A sword appeared in his hand, and he brought it down in a decisive slash toward Li Yun.

“Frozen Ice Sword Art. First move.”

A pale wave of sword qi burst from the blade. The ground beneath Ye Beichen froze instantly, and wherever the sword qi passed, the surface of the arena turned solid with frost as it surged straight toward Li Yun.

Li Yun’s expression finally turned solemn when he saw the incoming attack. He drew his sword without hesitation, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. In that instant, he released his Sword Intent Seed without reservation and swung his blade, executing the first move of the top grade mortal rank Sky Cleaving Sword Scripture.

“Break the Guard!”

A razor-sharp slash burst forth, dense with sword qi, cutting through the air with terrifying force.

Bang!

The two streams of sword qi collided head-on. A violent shockwave exploded outward, so powerful that the entire arena was instantly ravaged. Cracks spread across every corner of the platform as the aftermath of the collision nearly tore it apart.

When the dust finally settled, the two figures were still standing where they had been before. Yet now, both of them were releasing sharp and oppressive sword intent from their bodies.

The disciples watching were shaken to their very core.

They stared in disbelief at Li Yun, who stood calmly on the shattered arena, sword intent surging from him at the same level as Ye Beichen. The shock was so overwhelming that many of them were rendered completely speechless.

For them, Ye Beichen having comprehended a Sword Intent Seed was already astonishing, but it was something they could accept. He had always been the top-ranked disciple on the unofficial New Disciples Ranking, and such an achievement felt fitting for someone of his stature.

But Li Yun was different.

He had been an unknown figure not long ago. Then he suddenly accumulated over two million contribution points, overturned Ye Beichen, and seized first place on the New Disciples Ranking. That alone was shocking. Now, on top of that, he had revealed that he too had comprehended a Sword Intent Seed.

“Heavens, this Li Yun is a complete monster. Possessing terrifying combat power is one thing, but to think he has also comprehended a Sword Intent Seed is simply insane.”

“How did he manage this? Comprehending a Sword Intent Seed is the mark of a true genius, yet he is only seventeen years old, even younger than Ye Beichen. His talent is beyond reason.”

“If Ye Beichen is a genius, then Li Yun is a super genius. I have never seen anyone cross five minor realms in battle. A Xiantian Realm first-level cultivator standing toe to toe with someone at the sixth level is utterly absurd.”

The crowd erupted into chaos as they stared at Li Yun, sword intent pouring from him just like it did from Ye Beichen. They were stunned beyond belief. None of them had ever imagined that the final battle for the New Talent King would feature two young monsters who had both comprehended Sword Intent Seeds.

The shock stirred by Li Yun’s release of Sword Intent Seed was so immense that it quickly spread all the way to the four seats of the Four Peaks.

On the high platform, the Heaven Mandate Head turned toward the Earth Pillar Peak First Seat, a provocative glint in his eyes, and spoke with a faint smile. “Earth Pillar Peak First Seat, it seems the Ye Beichen you favor is not as outstanding as Li Yun after all.”

The moment those words were spoken, the Earth Pillar Peak First Seat’s expression darkened slightly. He had always supported Ye Beichen, while the Heaven Mandate Head had openly backed Li Yun. Now, Li Yun revealing his Sword Intent Seed immediately after Ye Beichen had done so made it seem as though his earlier judgment had been completely overturned. To him, this was nothing short of a public slap to the face.

Even so, the Earth Pillar Peak First Seat would never admit that his judgment was inferior.

Although displeasure churned fiercely within him, his outward expression remained steady and composed. He let out a cold snort and replied evenly, “Heaven Mandate Head, you are celebrating far too early. It is absolutely impossible for Ye Beichen to be inferior to Li Yun. Although the two appear evenly matched for now, once Ye Beichen reveals his full strength, Li Yun will not be able to contend with him.”

“Tsk, then I would like to see how long you can keep up this stubborn front,” the Heaven Mandate Head sneered in response.
