Supreme Dragon Martial Soul - Chapter 577 - 253: Three Days, the Sword Dao’s Greatest Genius in a Century
Chapter 577: Chapter 253: Three Days, the Sword Dao’s Greatest Genius in a Century
“He’s out!”
All the elders of the Luoxia Sect, along with fourteen inner sect disciples, turned their eyes toward the figure, faces full of amazement.
Swish!
The figure broke through the water, skimming over the lake surface, and steadily landed in the southwest of the Seven-Colored Spring, clad in blue with a sword at his waist—it was Luo Cheng.
“As expected, it wasn’t an illusion!”
Luo Cheng looked at the terrifying skeletons in the distance, a trace of strangeness in his eyes.
He deliberately went ashore from the southwest to confirm whether the unusual movement of the dragon energy within his body earlier was just an illusion.
As soon as his foot touched the ground, the dormant Zhengrong Dragon Energy in his dantian began to thrash violently, head lifted high, gazing into the depths of the underground space, eyes radiating nine-colored divine light, emitting waves of ethereal chants, far more intense than before!
He could clearly feel that something deep in the underground space was attracting it!
“What could it be…”
Luo Cheng was very curious about what kind of treasure could make the dragon energy so restless.
At this moment, the sound of something breaking through the air reached his ears as all the elders and disciples of the Luoxia Sect hurried over.
“Luo Cheng, you’ve finally come out.”
Seeing Luo Cheng safe and sound, Elder Bi Qiushui breathed a sigh of relief. She had, with good intentions, allowed Luo Cheng to participate in the Seven-Colored Spring qualification test and was truly worried something might happen to him inside.
“Elder Bi.” Luo Cheng took the initiative to meet her.
Bi Qiushui glanced at Luo Cheng. In just three days, she felt his demeanor was significantly different, though she couldn’t quite say how. Immediately, she smiled and asked,
“You trained in the Seven-Colored Spring for three whole days; what progress did you make?”
Three days!
Luo Cheng was somewhat surprised. He thought it had only been a few hours, not expecting so much time had passed.
“I did gain some improvements. My cultivation broke through to the middle stage of the Eighth Layer of the Awakening Vein Realm. Furthermore, I also made a breakthrough in sword intent.”
He was able to train in the Seven-Colored Spring thanks to Elder Bi Qiushui, so Luo Cheng did not intend to hide anything, directly gathering the Primordial Breath Technique.
“Middle stage of the Eighth Layer… What! You’ve advanced to the middle stage of the Eighth Layer of the Awakening Vein Realm!”
Elder Bi Qiushui first murmured softly, then quickly reacted, her expression incredulous as she carefully examined Luo Cheng, detecting the strong essence energy fluctuation around him, leaving her dumbfounded.
The other elders and disciples of the Luoxia Sect were equally shocked, even the usually composed Yan Qingshuang showed a face of astonishment.
The mysterious aura of the Seven-Colored Spring does nurture and replenish the spirit, no doubt, but offers limited help to cultivation.
The disciple with the lowest cultivation, Yan Qingshuang, advanced from the late stage of the Fourth Layer to the early stage of the Fifth Layer of the Awakening Vein Realm after training in the fourth layer of the Seven-Colored Spring for ten hours, which was already a significant achievement.
Yet Luo Cheng advanced from the early stage of the Seventh Layer to the middle stage of the Eighth Layer of the Awakening Vein Realm, improving a whole great realm plus a minor realm!
It’s crucial to understand that once cultivation reaches the later stages of the Awakening Vein Realm, advancing each time becomes far more difficult than during the middle stage!
The difference is not slight, but tenfold! Even dozens of times more difficult!
Beside him, Yu Lanxin thought of something, couldn’t help asking:
“Luo Cheng, to what level has your sword intent realm advanced?”
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Luo Cheng.
They were equally curious.
It’s well known that the Seven-Colored Spring is best for refining spiritual soul power. With Luo Cheng’s rapid cultivation progress, how much has his sword intent grown?
Luo Cheng did not speak but shifted his demeanor from calm to producing a sharp, ethereal sword momentum from his body, turning him into a peerless sword unsheathed, the sword momentum unsettling, stirring the winds and clouds, tearing apart the surrounding dense fog!
Step step step!
Several female disciples of the Luoxia Sect were forced to retreat repeatedly by the sword momentum.
Qi Yue also took a step back, lips tightly pressed, and her eyes fixed on Luo Cheng.
Buzz!
Lingering sword momentum rose from Yu Lanxin’s body as well, countering Luo Cheng’s sword intent. Gazing at Luo Cheng, she took a sharp breath: “Nine Percent Sword Intent Prototype! Quasi-Sword Intent Swordsman!”
Yu Lanxin’s heart was filled with unprecedented shock. As the head senior sister of the Luoxia Sect’s inner sect, she had great confidence in her sword dao talent. After understanding an eighty percent sword intent prototype, she toiled for over a year. Only during this entry into the Seven-Colored Spring did she finally reach a nine percent sword intent prototype!
Such rapid progress was rarely matched within the inner sects of the Three Sects.
How long has it been since Luo Cheng comprehended the eighty percent sword intent prototype?
Counting from the Mimeng Zang Mountain trial to now, it’s been less than four full days!
The Seven-Colored Spring indeed nurtures the spirit, yet comprehending a nine percent sword intent prototype in three to four days seems impossible!
Moreover, Yu Lanxin sensed Luo Cheng’s sword intent was extremely concentrated, vaguely above her own, indicating it’s not just a simple breakthrough to a nine percent sword intent prototype!
The others were equally dumbfounded; even witnessing it firsthand, it felt somewhat unrealistic.
The title of Quasi-Sword Intent Swordsman holds significant weight!
Countless swordsmen among the inner disciples of the Three Great Sects, yet fewer than three have reached this level! Each of them has awakened an advanced martial soul, recognized as geniuses in their realms!
Compared to these people, Luo Cheng’s martial soul, talent, and reputation seemed insignificant!
Only Yan Qingshuang remained relatively calm. From the moment Luo Cheng helped her understand sword intent, she knew his sword dao talent was extraordinary, now appearing even more unimaginably strong!
“Hehe, excellent! Luo Cheng, I knew I wasn’t mistaken!” Bi Qiushui expressed genuine happiness for Luo Cheng amidst her shock.
Those elders of the Luoxia Sect who previously looked down on Luo Cheng remained silent at this moment.
Among the elders present, Elder Ling Lan, who had the highest status, glanced at Luo Cheng and said:
“Alright, you’ve experienced the training in the Seven-Colored Spring, honing and transforming your mind and will. Your cultivation will likely progress more effectively during this period, so make sure not to waste this opportunity. Elder Chen, please lead them out!”
After giving an instruction, Elder Ling Lan signaled for an elder to lead Luo Cheng and the others away.
She, too, was filled with questions at the moment.
All the answers could only be unveiled once Yin Li emerged from the Seven-Colored Spring.
Before then, it was necessary to let Luo Cheng and others leave.
“You all follow me!”
Elder Chen led the way ahead, moving towards the upper layers of the underground space.
Before leaving, Luo Cheng took one last look to the southwest, murmuring to himself: Once I’m strong enough, I must return and explore what secrets this place holds!
Swish!
Retracting his gaze, Luo Cheng followed the group and soon disappeared into the boundless mist.
Seeing the group depart, Elder Ling Lan whispered with a sigh:
“To become a Quasi-Sword Intent Swordsman at just fifteen years old is extraordinary in the history of our Great Yue Dynasty. If he can comprehend true sword intent before turning eighteen in three years, he will break the century-old record of the Great Yue Dynasty! Becoming the greatest sword dao genius of the century!”
Some elders, unwilling to admit that sect disciples were inferior to Luo Cheng, remarked:
“It’s still too early to say! The gap between a Quasi-Sword Intent Swordsman and a Sword Intent Swordsman is as vast as heaven and earth, though seemingly close. Many people remain stuck for five, even ten years without crossing it! Besides, he ultimately awakened a wasted martial soul; his potential is limited! In the future, it’s not impossible for Yan Qingshuang to surpass him!”
Yan Qingshuang also made significant progress this time, her cultivation breaking through to the Fifth Layer of the Awakening Vein Realm, with her sword intent advancing to a sixty percent prototype!
Elder Ling Lan nodded and said: “No matter how you put it, his growth in these mere three days is truly perplexing. What happened during these three days…”
Whoa!
As her words just fell, another figure leapt out from the lake.
