Invincible Divine Sword - Chapter 152:
Chapter 152: Chapter 152: Awaking the Power of Sword Tower
Translator: 549690339
The space inside the Sword Tower was vast.
In the center of the tower stood a Sword Wall.
Carved on the Sword Wall was a figure of a swordsman, sword in hand.
Beyond this, there was nothing else on the Sword Wall.
And surrounding the Sword Wall were circular Formation Maps, each about one square meter in size.
The seats around the Formation Maps were already filled with students from the academy.
There must’ve been several hundreds of them.
Lin Xiao and Xiao Yong were there, but Guo Wei, having comprehended the Supreme Swordsmanship Divine Ability of the first layer of the Sword Wall, had already entered the second layer of the Sword Tower to continue his contemplation.
When Yang Xiaotian entered, everyone turned their gaze towards him.
Lin Xiao and Xiao Yong naturally did not look pleased to see Xiaotian.
A student laughed and said, “Xiaotian, you’re not hoping to try your luck here after seeing Junior Brother Guo Wei comprehend the ultimate swordsman divine skills and condense a Sword Heart, are you?”
Another student laughed, “Luck isn’t so easily encountered. Some people have contemplated for years without being able to fully comprehend the swordsman divine ability of the first layer.”
“As for Sword Heart, that’s even more like a fool’s dream.”
These two were senior students in the first-year class of the academy, but they were not in Xiaotian’s class. They were in the second class along with Guo Wei and also came from Wuding Academy. They were among the top ten in the last enrollment assessment of Tiandou Academy.
One was called Li Yang, and the other Liu Zeren.
Many attendees who’d previously belonged to Wuding Academy or War God Academy just chuckled.
Yang Xiaotian glanced at Li Yang, Liu Zeren, and others, his eyes sharp as swords, which promptly silenced the laughter of Li Yang, Liu Zeren, and others who felt as if their hearts were pierced by an invisible Sword Qi.
Since the Formation Map seats were nearly all taken, only a few seats in the corner were empty. Xiaotian took a seat in one of the empty spots in the corner.
Generally speaking, the closer to the Sword Wall, the better the effect of the contemplation. However, for Xiaotian, it was all the same no matter where he sat.
Sitting at the Formation Map, Xiaotian’s gaze moved past the other students and landed on the Sword Wall.
To Xiaotian’s eyes, the sword-bearing swordsman on the Sword Wall soon began to change.
The swordsman on the Sword Wall leapt out from within and started to display the art of swordsmanship above the first layer of the Sword Tower.
Li Yang, who had been intimidated by Xiaotian’s look, saw Xiaotian contemplating the Sword Wall and sneered with annoyance, “Xiaotian, aren’t you also known as a Sword Dao Genius? If you have the ability, like Junior Brother Guo Wei, comprehend the Swordsmanship Ultimate Divine Power of the first layer within a day.”
Xiaotian ignored Li Yang and the surrounding crowd, his sights solely on the Sword Wall, only on the sword-bearing swordsman.
In the eyes of people like Li Yang, the Sword Wall didn’t change, but to Xiaotian, the sword techniques performed by the swordsman became faster and faster.
Each move was exquisitely brilliant.
The Sword Qi’s conception immersed Xiaotian deeply.
Seeing that Xiaotian paid him no mind, but stared intently up at the empty space, Li Yang couldn’t help but scoff, “Putting on a show.”
Time passed by.
The sword of the Swords Wall’s swordsman became increasingly fast.
Xiaotian focused completely, watching the sword’s movements and feeling the opponent’s Sword Qi.
In Xiaotian’s eyes, the opponent’s sword seemed to take on a life of its own, as if it breathed and pulsed with vitality.
And he felt as if he’d become that swordsman, wielding that sword and performing the techniques.
Starting from the very first move.
As Xiaotian performed up to the last move, suddenly, the normally quiet first layer of the Sword Wall emitted a humming sound.
At first, the humming of the Sword Wall was very faint, almost inaudible. Lin Xiao, Xiao Yong, and the others did not think much of it, but as the humming from the Sword Wall grew louder and louder, everyone was astounded.
“What’s going on?!”
“Why is the Sword Wall making noise?”
Many students were puzzled and uncertain.
When Guo Wei had comprehended the Sword Wall earlier, there had been no such sign or sound, so they were at a loss.
Even when He Qingzhe and others had fully comprehended the first layer of the Sword Wall, there had been no such phenomenon.
“Could it be that someone has comprehended the Sword Wall again?” one student boldly speculated.
People scanned the crowd around them.
Generally speaking, anyone who had comprehended the Swordsmanship Divine Ability of the Sword Wall would emit a unique Sword Qi all over their body.
But no one appeared unusual.
Suddenly, the buzzing sound from the Sword Wall ceased.
Silence fell.
Just when everyone’s tension started to relax, all of a sudden, the previously silent Sword Wall burst forth with an intense light of the sword.
It was as if there had been a sudden explosion, startling everyone.
“How can this be?!” Seeing the Sword Wall spurting out such intense sword light, everyone was shocked and bewildered.
This was a phenomenon never seen before.
The Sword Tower had stood tall to date, and never had it been heard that the Sword Wall would undergo such changes.
Just as everyone was taken aback, suddenly, Yang Xiaotian, who had been motionless, erupted with a terrifying sword light from his body.
The sword light, exactly the same as that of the Sword Wall.
The students sitting next to Yang Xiaotian scrambled back in panic. “It’s Yang Xiaotian!” “Yang Xiaotian has comprehended the Supreme Divine Power of the Sword Wall!”
Lin Xiao, Xiao Yong, Li Yang, Liu Zeren were all greatly shaken.
In less than a day, Junior Brother Guo Wei had comprehended the first layer’s Ultimate Divine Power of the Sword Wall, which was already a miracle, but Yang Xiaotian? He had been in the Sword Tower for less than an hour!
As Lin Xiao and the others wore expressions of disbelief and shock, suddenly, the Sword Wall and Yang Xiaotian once more ejected an astonishing sword light. The intensity of the sword light was such that it penetrated the space within the Sword Tower and struck high above the Sword Tower.
The entire Sword Tower began to tremble.
Guo Wei, who had entered the second layer and was about to comprehend its Sword Wall, was so frightened by the shaking of the Sword Tower that he stopped.
Whether it was Guo Wei or other students, all were astounded and came to a halt.
Even He Qingzhe, who had reached the fourteenth layer, stopped in his tracks.
“What’s going on?!” He Qingzhe jumped to his feet, staring at the Sword Tower in astonishment. He had never encountered such a situation in all his years of studying the Sword Tower.
Could it be that someone was attacking the Sword Tower?
No, that wasn’t it!
It wasn’t an attack on the Sword Tower.
It was the power of the Sword Tower!
As the Sword Force of the Sword Tower continued to strengthen, the entire Sword Tower emitted sword light.
Countless students and teachers at Tiandou Academy were alarmed.
In the main hall, Xie Hong, Zhong Yun, Fan Riquan, and others were discussing matters of the Secret Realm trial when the erupting sword light power from the Sword Tower caused everyone to stop.
“Such powerful Sword Force!”
Xie Hong, Zhong Yun, and the others quickly stepped out of the main hall and looked towards the direction of the Sword Tower. Upon seeing the surging sword light above the Sword Tower, they all had their mouths agape.
“Someone has awakened the power of the Sword Tower!” Zhong Yun exclaimed in alarm, “Who is it?!”
‘Quick, check who has awakened the power of the Sword Tower!” Xie Hong commanded an Elder beside him urgently, but no sooner had he finished speaking that he could not wait any longer and flew up into the sky, heading swiftly towards the Sword Tower.
Zhong Yun, Fan Riquan, Zhu Chenhui all took to the air and rapidly followed behind Xie Hong.
Meanwhile, inside the first layer of the Sword Tower, Yang Xiaotian, bathed in the sword light, had streams of Sword Qi radiating from his heart. These streams of Sword Qi were dazzlingly brilliant.
Lin Xiao, Xiao Yong, and the others were wide-eyed.
“Sword Heart!”
