Chen Xin's gaze showed great approval, to the point where he had difficulty containing his emotions.
As his aura fluctuated, waves of majestic soul power immediately spread out.
Underneath his feet and behind him, the ground and the seats simultaneously showed traces of sword marks.
At this moment, he seemed to have vaguely found a new direction for further advancement in the future.
Including Bibi Dong, everyone around was surprised and looked over.
As top-notch experts in the world, they naturally understood what was happening with Chen Xin.
As a peak Douluo, it was obviously impossible for him to lose control of his aura.
At this moment, such a situation inevitably indicated a breakthrough.
Although it would still take a long time to take the final step forward, this progress was already extremely precious.
It's important to note that cultivation beyond the peak Douluo level is not simply about accumulating soul power.
At this stage, comprehension becomes even more crucial.
Merely increasing the efficiency of absorbing soul power might not even lead to an advancement for decades.
Unless you have the unique advantage of having twin martial souls, allowing you to forcibly boost your soul power level through absorbing soul rings.
Otherwise, without comprehension, it's nearly impossible to make any progress.
The fact that a battle at the level of Soul Saints could trigger the enlightenment of a peak Douluo was truly formidable and terrifying.
If Su Cheng's foundation was shallow and his cultivation was insufficient, his true combat power could be imagined.
Qian Renxue looked at the huge sword shadow in front of her, and a moment of confusion appeared in her eyes.
The profound meaning of this dead silence was even more unsettling than death itself.
But she was not an ordinary person after all.
After exchanging a glance with each other, the two figures nodded lightly.
Then, their wings unfolded behind them, and they held their long swords high into the sky.
"Sacred Sword, Judgment!"
Golden flames burned fiercely on the long sword, and the same flames also ignited on her golden wings.
Even though they were in mid-air, the burning sensation from their bodies made the people on the ground feel as if they were being scorched.
At this moment, the radiance emanating from her was even comparable to the sun in the sky.
The intense sense of holiness almost made people feel like they wanted to bow down and worship.
"Purgatory, Judgment!"
On the other side, black flames also ignited, but without the grandiose momentum.
Amidst the flickering dim light, dark light screens fell and connected with the shadows on the ground.
The black coronation became even deeper, and even her long hair was dyed dark in the shadows.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, and long eyelashes cast large shadows.
Her face was full of majesty and severity, cold and merciless.
Qian Renxue's self-created soul skill: Divine Judgment!
This was obviously not a simple technique like Feng Xiaotian's Magic Wolf's Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes, which was still at the level of technique and relatively low-level at that.
Not to mention Su Cheng, even if Feng Xiaotian himself reached the level of Soul Saint, he would never use that mediocre self-created soul skill again.
But Qian Renxue's sword move was completely different.
It contained a strong personal will within it.
This was the standard that a self-created soul skill should have.
Without this kind of will, the so-called "self-created soul skill" would just be an empty shell, merely a special attack technique.
If Tang Chen's Haotian Hammer didn't have Tang Chen's domineering momentum, it couldn't be considered a top-notch soul skill either.
Although Qian Renxue's soul skill might not be stronger than Su Cheng's sword move "Empty Mountain" in terms of level, her soul power level and the strength of her martial soul in her martial soul true body state obviously surpassed Su Cheng's.
"Boom!"
The next moment, with a sudden roar, three attacks collided.
The thunderous sound of this moment even made the low-level soul masters on the square hear a buzzing in their ears.
The huge sword shadow shattered into pieces in the collision, and Qian Rinyue's figure also retreated violently, her face pale, and the flames on her sword extinguished.
But compared to Qian Rinyue, Su Cheng suffered much more from the backlash.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, and a huge pit appeared on the extremely hard jade stone ground beneath his feet, cracks spreading in all directions.
Without time to adjust his state, Su Cheng swung his sword diagonally.
Sure enough, as he lifted his sword, a golden light attacked from the sky.
Qian Rinyue's next round of attacks came instantly, giving him no chance to catch his breath.
First Soul Skill: Angel's Assault.
Under Su Cheng's feet, the fifth soul ring lit up, and the Fifth Soul Skill: Recast Qing Feng.
Nourished by the soul skills, the slightly chaotic meridians in his body began to repair rapidly, and the shattered sword domain began to recover.
On the other side, the other members on the square also had a slight change in their expressions when they saw this scene.
Especially the students from the Martial Soul Hall, their spirits were lifted for a moment.
Xie Yue and Hu Liena glanced at each other and nodded at the same time.
It's time.
Hu Liena glanced at Shui Bing'er in the distance, and the five soul rings on her body flickered with red light.
Xie Yue held the Moon Blade in his hand, spread his arms, and rushed towards his sister.
At the same time, two golden lights shot out from the scepter in the hands of an auxiliary system soul master from the Martial Soul Hall team, quickly merging into Xie Yue and Hu Liena's bodies.
A red light screen suddenly appeared and spread out, and the Martial Soul Fusion skill appeared again.
This time, their Martial Soul Fusion skill did not hesitate for a moment. With the assistance of their teammates, they successfully launched it in an instant.
Seeing this, Shui Bing'er no longer hesitated and began to perform her Martial Soul Fusion skill with Xue Wu.
Su Cheng sensed the movement behind him and felt a chill in his heart.
He didn't have much time left.
With a slight movement of his mind, the broken and scattered sword qi around him suddenly seemed to come to life, trembling gently, and quickly strengthening, the aura surging like a tide.
Sword Move Fourteen, Ashes.
With the momentum left by the previous sword, this sword move hardly consumed much of his soul power and easily completed its reconstruction, with its aura not much weaker than before.
The two Qian Renxues glanced at each other and frowned slightly.
It's this move again!
She had seen this sword move before.
It was during their farewell outside Tian Dou City, when she was defeated by Su Cheng with this sword.
However, things were different now, and she wasn't particularly worried.
With her current strength, this kind of sword move would not pose too much of a threat.
Moreover, she had experience. As long as she could sweep it away completely before this sword move was completely condensed, she could easily interrupt it.
Thinking of this, Qian Renxue didn't hesitate for a moment.
However, in the next moment, she was shocked to find that although she did manage to stop many strands of sword qi from proliferating further, it was difficult to completely eliminate them. Moreover, in the process, she needed to expend far more soul power than she had estimated.
Seeing this scene, a faint smile appeared on Su Cheng's pale face.
This sword technique was incomplete from the beginning, and after so many years, it had achieved perfection in the Five Elements. How could it remain unchanged?
And he still had a second martial soul.
Although there were currently no attached soul skills on the innate diagram, this auxiliary-type martial soul still had its uses. In today's battle, it had been silently providing him with attribute enhancements.
During the one-month rest before the preliminary rounds, Su Cheng had gone to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes for cultivation.
With the abundant spiritual energy of ice and fire there, he had made some improvements to this martial soul using the method of condensing soul rings, although soul rings had not yet been condensed temporarily.
The reason for not condensing soul rings was not because of the limitation of soul ring age; he could now improve the quality of his soul rings, so this point didn't matter.
The key lay in the martial soul fusion technique.
Up to now, he hadn't fully mastered his self-body martial soul fusion technique.
In this situation, if he were to attach soul rings to his second martial soul, he didn't know if he could still maintain the balance between the two martial souls and successfully execute the Eternal Sword Array.
Su Cheng no longer looked at Qian Renxue. With a flick of his long sword, the Eternal Sword was thrown into the air.
Immediately, to the astonishment of others, it hung high in the sky.
The surrounding strands of sword qi immediately vibrated and hummed, flocking like tired birds returning to their nests.
Wrapped in sword qi, the Eternal Sword transformed into a bright moon, causing Qian Renxue to feel a sense of hesitation in her heart.
The sixteenth sword, Bright Moon.
People today no longer see the ancient moon, but the moon once illuminated ancient people.
This was the sword intent Su Cheng comprehended from the immortal meaning of the Phoenix Core.
Of course, compared to his battle with Shui Bing'er, he had only felt a little at that time, far from reaching today's level.
At that time, he had only absorbed the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone through comprehension, turning it into a life core.
Most importantly, it was the collision with Tang Hao two days ago that truly led to his enlightenment.
The Eternal Sword's transformation into a bright moon was naturally not a real moon.
It only borrowed the meaning of people coming and going like flowing water and the eternal radiance of the moon.
Looking at the bright moon in the sky, Qian Renxue fell silent.
She also felt the power of this sword.
Its strength did not lie in its power, but in its defense and endurance.
With the remaining soul power she had, she couldn't deal with this sword, and could only allow it to slowly accumulate power.
As time passed, when this sword reached its peak, she would definitely be unable to resist.
But at this moment, she was already powerless to unleash the Divine Judgment again.
Moreover, even if she could, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to interrupt Su Cheng's sword technique.
However, her silence lasted only for a short moment.
Qian Renxue, dressed in black, once again smiled on her face.
"Amazing, truly amazing."
She clapped her hands lightly in admiration.
Then she said, "But Su Cheng, even so, have you won?"
Her words contained a hint of smugness.
Beside her, the figure in white was even more straightforward, saying, "Teacher, you've lost."
Su Cheng sighed lightly, wearing a bitter smile on his face.
He was indeed going to lose.
That was why he hadn't chosen to use this move right from the start.
This sword required too much time to accumulate power.
In a short period, its power could not match Sword Fifteen.
And what he lacked most in this match was time.
Because this wasn't just his own battle.
On the other side, as expected, Shui Bing'er and the others were already on the verge of collapse.
This was as normal as it could be.
The gap in soul power between the two sides was too obvious.
On the side of the Tian Dou Royal Academy team, there were only Shui Bing'er, Ning Rongrong, Xue Wu, and Hu Yanli, all Soul Masters. On the other hand, there were three Soul Kings and three Soul Masters.
As for the martial soul fusion technique, Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu had it, but Xie Yue and Hu Lianna also had it.
In this situation, how could they fight?
They couldn't.
Shui Bing'er had already given it her all.
But obviously, this was not a battle that could be reversed by mere tactics or strategy.
Su Cheng also had no way to help them.
Two Qian Renxue were right in front of him.
Indeed, she couldn't do much about Su Cheng's sword moves and could only let the Bright Moon slowly gather power.
But stopping Su Cheng from helping his teammates was something she could easily do.
And it had to be said that the strength of the Martial Soul Temple team was indeed very strong, and their mentality was very stable.
Even facing such a group of Soul Masters whose strength was all-around lower than their own, they did not show any negligence, steadily advancing without leaving any loopholes.
Shui Bing'er glanced at Su Cheng, a hint of apology flashing in her eyes.
She could see that at this moment, Su Cheng had gained a slight advantage.
Obviously, in the opponent's team, the most powerful and terrifying Qian Renxue had been suppressed by him. But on their side, they were already unable to continue delaying.
The soul power of their teammates had long been depleted.
Even Feng Qingyu, such a deliberately mediocre player, had a pale face and trembling fingers.
Su Cheng could only shake his head helplessly.
There was no way, he had done his best.
In fact, this was also expected. He didn't have much confidence from the beginning, nor did he underestimate Qian Renxue.
And this team from the Martial Soul Temple, led by Qian Renxue personally, did not disappoint. It was completely different from their performance in the original timeline.
