Divine Brilliance - Chapter 472

Chapter 472: Surprise Choice

Within the back courtyard, Chuxue’s body was dancing. The sword light from her hand scattered all over, and her face was covered in sweat.

Just yesterday, the number of heavy earth talismans on her increased to 10.

This meant that starting from yesterday, she needed to bear with 2.1 million kilograms of weight.

These were instructions from Zong Shou, saying that this could help her train her body. In the future when she faced high-grade experts, it would help her. It was also the key to her breaking grade 7.

1.5 years ago, it had already begun. From the starting 2 to 4, to the current 10. Even when she was sleeping she couldn’t remove it.

However today, apart from her physical body having been strengthened, Chuxue couldn’t see any other benefits.

She only knew that in these 1.5 years, each sword she slashed was extremely tough. The amount of stamina she consumed was 10 times as usual.

At the start, she wasn’t able to sustain for more than 15 minutes. It was only 6 months ago did she adapt.

Every time she felt used to it, Zong Shou would increase it by 2 more talismans.

She needed to control her strength. 2.1 million kilograms stepping on the ground, if she didn’t pay attention, she would sink in.

It meant that at every moment, she needed to use ocean amounts of soul power, borrowing the 5 spirit beast power to cause her body to be able to leave the ground.

She cast spells whilst training this set of sword techniques. It was tough!

Each night, she would be close to collapsing.

However, since her young master said that, that he wanted her to know each change in sword stroke like the back of her fingertips until it was etched in her heart. Then she definitely wouldn’t give up.

During these 1.5 years, this sword technique had been smashed into pieces by her, digesting it bit by bit.

Chuxue also knew that her comprehension ability was too weak. Many sword art secrets she was unable to understand. However, there was a sword technique grandmaster like Zong Shou who she could ask help from.

Zong Shou wouldn’t choose to teach by speaking but instead directly through his moves. Sometimes before she even understood it, her body would already grasp it.

The so called 5 spirit sword was 5 different sword techniques. It had 5 types of sword intent which was compatible with the 5 spirit beasts. When she displayed her sword technique, she often needed to cast spells at the same time, using the natural powers of the 5 spirit beasts. It was extremely complicated.

However, today, she could already switch between the 5 types of sword techniques which she didn’t train in at all and connect them. The spells she used was often at the right time.

Based on what Zong Shou said, there were already really little weaknesses. This sword art was not far away from going to the next level, from reaching the small success stage of the sword technique. Normal grade 6 experts weren’t her opponents.

He remembered that the young master was shocked and in awe, saying that she was pretty much the legendary tongtian ape–a god beast during the cloud desolate era that was dumb but able to copy all secret techniques and innate powers.

Chuxue, at that moment, was annoyed, so much so that she wanted to smack Zong Shou on the head. However, within these 20 days, she was delighted. She practiced even more diligently. Every night, she would lay on her bed, unwilling to climb up at all.

At this moment outside Zong Shou’s secluded meditation room, Zhao Yanran seemed leisure. Looking to a side with great interest.

She heard that Zong Shou wanted to go into secluded meditation and break into the day wandering realm. During these 10 over days, she just stayed here. Most of the time, she closed her eyes and cultivated. Occasionally she would open it and quietly look at her train the sword.

“Tsk Tsk this sword technique is not bad! Once we fight, even without your combat martial body, I might not be able to beat you today. However, xue’er do you believe what your young master says? 10 of these heavy earth talismans, so sick in the head…”

“Last time I heard about people who used this heavy earth talisman to train the body, the effects are also not bad. However, I have never heard that one could use it to help breakthrough to grade 7 ascended realm. Be careful that you aren’t bluffed by your young master. That fellow is the most evil…”

Chuxue pouted, lazy to bother about her. She was still really focused as she tried her best to do each sword perfectly.

At this moment she was close to being devoid of energy. Her hands were slightly trembling. Which was why even if her sword strokes didn’t deviate, it became more and more difficult.

“Your young master must be thinking of a way to torture you. Think about it, what did you do to offend him?”

Chuxue’s heart jolted. If they talked about offending him, 2 years ago when they rushed back to gantian Mountain she stuck the luck talisman on his head. Causing him to end up in a tragic situation.

But young master didn’t look like such a petty person?

Thinking about it, didn’t Zong Shou always take revenge?

Was she cheated by her young master?

Following which her heart became more alert as she continued to slash out with the sword, furiously scoffing, “Sister Yanran you are talking nonsense! Use illusionary techniques again and I won’t bother about you anymore!”

However, this sword was a little off, unable to link to the next move. Chuxue was helpless and could only change to the sword which Zong Shou thought her that could merge spirit and martial arts into one.

Zong Shou always told her to give up. However, she wasn’t willing. This sword technique had to affect. In the past her internal energy and soul power were like ice and fire, unable to accept one another. However, it was much better today.

He always felt that the 2 of them had just a thin layer. She just needed to break it and she would be able to merge them.

Which was why she continued to train in it diligently. She saw Zong Shou display a spirit and martial art merged sword. His strength jumped 2 grades to go up against Xuanyuan tong.

In legends, anyone who could do so must have combat strength exceeding people of the same level. Chuxue didn’t like being a burden. Recently when she followed beside Zong Shou people said that she was dumb, a flower vase, dragging young master down.

Young master gave her 5 protector beasts, and they were like heavy burdens pressing on her shoulders.

So, when she saw that bit of hope, she was unwilling to give up.

When Zhao Yanran saw that, she burst out into a laugh. She stopped using that illusion heart charming technique, asking curiously,” Xue’er you offended him? Say what was it about…”

Her voice behind was covered by a sudden sword ring. In the next instance, a clear voice sounded out in the entire common people’s vast habitat.

“…I am Jueyu, here to visit your mountain! I want to seek teachings from common people path in the sword path, please be generous with your teachings!”

That voice reverberated out, lasting for a long time. Zhao Yanran’s eyes turned cold as she muttered softly, “Jueyu has finally arrived!”

Then, she smiled towards Chuxue and asked, “Do you want to go take a look?”

Chuxue hesitated. Her heart was indeed a little curious. What did that sword prince Jueyu look like? Did he have 3 heads and 6 hands to challenge 10 shrines, 19 spiritual houses and not be defeated even once?

However, when she looked at the sword in her hand, she made her mind up. Just as she was about to reject, Zhao Yanran directly flew over and pulled her hand, directly flying up into the air.

Dragging with her a hundred feet long ribbon as they flew into the air.

“You are already exhausted, how would you still have the strength to cultivate? Going there to take a look is just rest. Watching people like Jueyu fight will only be good food for you in the future. Didn’t Zong Yuan and Ruoshui also follow? However Xue’er you are dense, to think you can bear with 2.1 million kilograms…”

Chuxue turned her head to look, as expected she saw 2 people fly into the air one after another.

They arrived quicker than them, overtaking them in just an instance. Ruoshui treated her well, and when she passed, she patted her head. Then, her movement speed increased greatly.

Tens of breaths later they were outside the city gates of the dao palace. They directly exited the common people’s vast habitat and came to a wide void fissure.

They saw that there were numerous people gathered in the area. They were mostly common people, path disciples, while a portion was from other factions. Each chose a spot, either sitting or standing as they looked on from afar.

At the center, there was a tall teen in black. His face was devilishly handsome, pretty much on the same level as her young master who inherited the sky fox bloodline. In his hand, there was a black colored broad sword as he waited quietly. His eyes were slightly closed like he was resting up.

The people around all looked over with extremely complicated expressions. There was respect, hatred, jealousy, nobody showed signs of being unconvinced.

This sword prince has gone through hundreds of battles. He stepped over the heads of the young talents from all 10 shrines and 19 spiritual houses! His strength was obvious.

Chuxue took a close look at Jueyu and then she slightly shook her head, “He isn’t as good as my young master!”

Zhao Yanran smiled. Just as she was about to speak she heard a bell ring. A hoarse voice sounded out.

“Yuanfei, Xie An, Han Jian, Xuanye, Zhuling, Guoyu, Xuechu, the 7 of you quickly come to the palace main hall!”

It seemed like only common people path disciples could hear the voice as everyone was in an uproar. They knew that these 7 people should be the ones that the sect chose to fight. They more or less heard of the first 6 people, however, this last one was unheard of.

The other sect disciples who were heard to watch did not react at all.

Su Chuxue originally didn’t pay much attention. A moment later she saw that Zhao Yanran and the others were looking at her with a weird expression. Only then did her expression change.

She remembered that Xuechu was the name she chose when she joined the common people path. She wrote her name the other way round.

How could it be her? Common people path 3 sects and 6 schools, so many young talents. Most recently when they came back to the dao palace there were 10 over a hundred years old and younger grade 8 experts. Why would she be chosen?

She was only grade 6!

Zhao Yanran was also really surprised. After thinking about it she had an answer, “Anyways since the sect has asked, you still have to go and take a look. Maybe some seniors in the sect have high hopes on your talent.”

Chuxue pouted in disdain. To date, she still remembered how that old man Hanfang treated her with disdain.
