Chapter 949 Ranking Battle (Part Two)
If it were anyone else, someone at the Tongxuan level, even the founders of a school of thought who had a profound understanding of lightning, they would be injured on the spot and suffer damage to their soul.
Without resting and recuperating for several months to nurture one's spirit and will, one might not even be able to take care of basic daily life.
That is, Han Yi.
They possess a divine spiritual foundation that is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The unique nature of black holes, which devour everything, coupled with the deductive functions of the visualization panel in the past, has long made us accustomed to the feeling of this information deluge sweeping through our brains.
Even he rolled his eyes slightly at this moment.
There's no other reason than that there's too much knowledge and too much information.
To put it more vividly, it's like...
My head is so itchy, it feels like a brain is growing out of it!
Han Yi's vision blurred for a moment, and his consciousness became hazy, like a broken screen that had been kicked a few times before his vision slowly returned to normal.
"The True Thunder Formless Blade: Yin and Yang gather and disperse, true thunder is formless. Light and agile yet heavy, like thunder gathering and dispersing, ever-changing, unpredictable in its reality and illusion. When it leaves its sheath, one hears a deep, resounding thunder, and the sun and moon lose their light. When the blade is sheathed, one sees a clear sky, blue as if washed clean."
Level: Earth Soul Artifact.
Attribute: Thunder.
Core Abilities: Summon lightning, immune to most lightning damage, greatly increases lightning affinity, and slightly increases the power of lightning spells.
Magical power to demonic power conversion ratio: 1 to 7. Note: A piece of Life-Giving Thunder Jade bestowed by the Demon Saint, a wisp of destructive thunderous intent from the end of the world, was harmonized with the crystal to create this. Later generations can absorb the supreme thunderous intent, causing yin and yang to surge and aiding in their transformation.
Chun Shisanliu, the first head of the Chun family, known as the Demon Blade Chun family.
"The Demon Blade Spring Family..." Han Yi's eyes were unreadable. A large amount of knowledge and memories were digested and absorbed, and he gained an unprecedented understanding of the birth and origin of the Myriad Manifestations School.
"The Demon Saint..." A scene suddenly flashed through his mind.
The sky was torn apart, the earth fractured, and a soft white light, like flowers slowly blooming, shone through…
Everything was submerged within it, turned into nothingness, and vanished.
The whole world was like a crushed egg, shattered into pieces.
A tremendous explosion resounded, like an eggshell shattering, before the powder was ground into extremely fine dust and vanished into the void. "The power to destroy a world with a casual flick of the wrist..."
Han Yi was slightly shocked. This was the first time he had such a close and direct understanding of the power of a demon saint.
All his current abilities combined are at most at the level of a top-tier demon king, which is the pinnacle of the Profound Realm.
There is still a long way to go before one becomes a demon saint, and it will be extremely difficult to break through the shackles.
Han Yi shook his head, casting aside other distracting thoughts, and gently grasped the True Thunder Invisible Blade in front of him. A feeling of bloodline connection immediately emanated from him.
He seemed to be able to touch the knife's jubilation and cheers, as if it had become a part of his body, inseparable from it.
"Congratulations. The divine sacrifice is complete, and you have successfully mastered the True Thunder Invisible Blade. You are now the rightful twenty-fourth leader of my Myriad Manifestations lineage." Lin Mu's tone returned to normal as he stood not far from Han Yi, his eyes filled with complex emotions. No matter how many mental preparations one has made beforehand, once a truly unequal relationship is established, every action, every word, even life and death are controlled by another's hands…
Especially since this person hadn't been a member of the school for very long, only a few dozen days in total...
There will inevitably be some resistance in one's heart.
Han Yi looked at Lin Mu and Chun Huiru, whose expressions were complicated, and felt a similar sense of emotion.
He understands now.
Why did the two hesitate and have mixed feelings when they were initially chosen as the sect leader?
If it were him...
We pass on our heritage, we pass on our lives, and we pass on our future.
They might also hesitate, and there's a high probability they'll reject the plan altogether.
They staked everything on a newcomer who had only recently joined the school…
put all one's eggs in one basket.
This is no longer a gamble.
It's not madness.
If Han Yi had even the slightest bad intention, then he would lose everything and have no chance of ever recovering.
After all, he had obtained the core inheritance, the position of sect leader, and the sect's soul weapon...
Don't say anything else.
The simplest approach is to sell it to the Tianhu School, which would fetch an astronomical price.
"Elder, there's no need to worry." Han Yi smiled and sheathed his sword.
He could understand Lin Mu's feelings.
As a spirit, one's life and death are not in one's own hands, and one's actions and words are restricted. Even a school of thought that has been upheld for a long time may be handed over to another party in a moment of weakness, leaving one with no hope at all.
Fortunately.
Han Yi is not that kind of person.
The worst outcome did not occur.
Han Yi's eyes remained unchanged, his attitude the same as before, without any difference.
Lin Mu and Chun Hui exchanged a glance, and a hint of agreement slowly formed deep in their eyes.
They both knew in their hearts that Han Yi couldn't possibly have any deep feelings for the Myriad Phenomena School.
The time we spent together was too short, so the current situation is a happy one for everyone.
"I...I'll go pack my things..."
Chunhui raised her hand and ran off to tidy up the room.
Although the courtyard was protected by a cleaning array, it had been uninhabited for a long time, and without tidying it up, it inevitably felt lifeless. Only Lin Mu and Han Yi remained in the same spot, and the atmosphere quieted down.
a long time…...
Lin Mu looked at the sect leader in front of him, who had bet everything on the school, and his expression became dazed.
“You…” He hesitated for a moment.
"Respect the elders. Just call me by my name," Han Yi said with a smile.
"Hmm..." Lin Mu hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Xiao Han, is your current cultivation... alright?"
"No. Everything went smoothly," Han Yi replied quickly.
After fully condensing the image of a black hole, especially with the black hole's ability to devour energy and strengthen itself, his spiritual progress is now progressing by leaps and bounds, which is terrifying.
His divine soul is growing stronger every day, and his demonic power is surging. It is estimated that it will not be long before he can reach the limit of the next level.
"That's good... Out-of-body experience, night patrol, daytime travel. These three stages are progressive. Only by completely completing these three steps can one be considered to have completed the major stage of Profound Understanding," Lin Mu said in a low voice.
"So... with your talent... and the image you've condensed, although it's a bit ugly, the potential for Dark Lightning's growth is extremely high. The three smaller stages in the middle shouldn't be able to stop you... the key... is still the final step..."
He paused for a moment, then continued.
"I've taught you everything that 'The Four Seasons Demon Blade' can offer... I see you've even learned all the subsequent moves of the Spring Thunder Blade. What you lack is proficiency and the support of a higher level... There's no way to achieve that; it can only be honed over time."
"Unfortunately... if you had started your cultivation earlier... you would have had a better chance in the competition."
"Don't worry," Han Yi said casually. "As the elder said, this ranking competition is just a ranking test. No one will die, so there's nothing to worry about." In his view, the ranking competition was less about meeting and exchanging ideas and more about a contest of strength.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that this is a way for the North to maintain the vitality of its various regions and promote progress.
The goal of ranking competition is not to cause the extinction of a school of thought or the demise of its lineage.
The key is to foster a competitive atmosphere among all businesses and showcase their value.
You believe that thunder, fire, metal, and water are the four fundamental forces of heaven and earth, the origin of all life, therefore the "Four Seasons Demon Blade" is the strongest divine forging technique.
I believe that light, darkness, wind, and earth create the world and are the foundation of all matter and energy; the "Four Seasons Demon Blade" is merely the weakest of them all.
If you don't respect me, I'll never respect you.
How to do?
Let's have a go. That's the purpose of the ranking battle.
of course.
It's a struggle, not a life-or-death battle.
The original intention of ranking competition is to continuously innovate, explore new paths, and increase the overall strength of Baimai, not to cause deaths and waste resources.
After all, even if a school is expelled from the Hundred Schools, there is no guarantee that it will not be without a chance to rise again in the future. Although the probability is very small, we cannot let the extremely valuable members of the Hundred Schools die in internal strife.
Therefore... the ranking competition adopts a method of mental projection, which is different from carrying out missions in the outside world. Instead of the real body participating in actual combat, it is to avoid too many casualties.
The so-called projection refers to the extraction of a portion of the soul and physical body's abilities, fixing them in a closed area, and then restoring them to their original state. The original body is protected within the Holy Palace's special defenses, awaiting the end of the struggle.
"Don't underestimate the enemy..." Lin Mu reminded, "Although entering through projection won't result in true death, losing a portion of your soul will cause minor damage to your physical body; the key issue is that it will affect your potential."
Moreover, a full recovery is extremely difficult. Aside from relying on time and gentle nurturing, there are few other methods. If the damage is too severe and cannot be recovered, the potential for future advancement will be greatly reduced, and it's possible that one's cultivation will stagnate for life.
"Okay. I'll be careful." Han Yi nodded.
"Oh, right. There's one more thing," Lin Mu continued. "I know you're very strong in combat, but ranking competitions are not the same as anything else. If possible, forget everything outside the North and try your best to showcase the methods of my Myriad Manifestations School."
"Why?"
Han Yi frowned slightly, his doubts growing.
Lin Mu's meaning was clear: if anything unexpected happened during the ranking competition, and a fight broke out, they should try their best not to expose any other systems or paths besides the Northern Divine Soul Path.
The question then arises.
Han Yi has been in the North for quite some time now, and he has never hidden the fact that he practices both cultivations, nor has anyone ever denied it.
As a result, a ranking competition that was merely for self-entertainment... came out and said it wouldn't work.
"Cultivating multiple skills...is that not allowed? Even if it's a secondary skill, isn't it still part of one's own strength, something gained through hard work? What kind of strange rule is this?" Han Yi frowned and pressed for an answer.
He had carefully compared them in his spare time.
The level of Transcendental Awakening in the North is at most equivalent to a top-tier Grandmaster in Yunzhou martial arts, or even less.
The strength of Yunzhou martial arts lies in its flexibility and adaptability. Apart from a very few, it is difficult for anyone at the Out-of-Body level to mobilize energy over a large area and strike precisely.
If you can't hit your target, it means you'll lose sooner or later.
After all, endurance is a strength of Yunzhou martial arts.
