Chapter 937: The Breakthrough

Jiheon Yang was practically soaked in blood now, his white clothes turning red.

"Yeah, I’m wondering the same."

"Little junior sister, who knew your little girl was actually pretty strong? She’s even got Jiheon Yang on the ropes. But if she doesn’t finish this soon, she’ll exhaust her energy and Jiheon Yang will turn the fight around," Jiae Yao teased with a grin. "Still, if she’s this good, I’d definitely support you if you ever decide to marry her!"

"Senior sister, do you think he’ll win?" Kailash Ren was now used to Yao’s relentless teasing.

"It’s hard to say, since we don’t know her that well. But didn’t you see her in the Double Cavern Secret Realm? She hasn’t even used her Eight Gods Blade yet," Jiae Yao replied, a bit disappointed that her little sister wasn’t reacting with embarrassment.

Kailash Ren thought for a moment. "Using the Eight Gods Blade in this situation would require time to gather energy. That might give Jiheon Yang the chance to break free. If he escapes, Amalia would be in real danger."

"Exactly," Jiae Yao nodded. "She has the advantage now, but it’s a tough position. It’ll be interesting to see what she decides to do."

"But I have to say, the Green Lotus Sect is really impressive, producing so many talented people. No matter what the Eternal One Sect does, they’ll never catch up now," Nari Yin added with admiration.

"Agreed," Jiae Yao replied, then turned to Dayeon Xinyue, who hadn’t spoken. "What do you think?"

Dayeon Xinyue pondered. "I feel like she has a different plan. It’s probably not as simple as it looks."

Others watching, including those from major sects like Eternal One, could also see that Amalia was in a tricky situation.

Members of the Eternal One Sect, who had been worried, now seemed relieved.

"Once she’s out of energy, let’s see how arrogant she is!" Hwejong Xiong sneered.

"She can absorb spiritual energy while fighting, but that won’t be enough. As long as Jiheon Yang holds out, that crystal token will be his, and he’ll get the glory of defeating a Green Lotus prodigy."

The disciples of Eternal One Sect, embarrassed earlier, now saw Amalia as their only chance to redeem themselves.

Jiheon Yang felt trapped. He had considered taking one of her strikes directly and counterattacking, but he was horrified to realize the truth: if he did, he wouldn’t just face one hit—he’d face dozens. He couldn’t withstand that many strikes all at once.

With no other option, he decided to wait for Amalia’s moment of weakness, when her energy was finally depleted. Then, when she could no longer swing her blade with force, he’d strike back, giving her no second chance.

Once her energy ran out, she’d be as helpless as a lamb for slaughter. He didn’t believe she could resist then—killing her would be as easy as turning his hand.

Meanwhile, Amalia’s flurry of strikes continued, as if she was tireless.

Just a few minutes felt like an eternity to everyone watching.

Just as they started to wonder how much longer Amalia could keep this up, the spiritual energy in the air around her suddenly surged, especially near her.

Not only did her blade not slow down, but it seemed to get even faster.

No, her speed was increasing!

Jiheon Yang couldn’t even see her blade moving—he could only judge by the force that struck his sword. But rather than weakening, her strikes grew faster!

His hands were bleeding, and his sword’s blade began to crack visibly, with small chips from each clash.

"She’s breaking through!" Yunse Qiao noticed the unusual energy swirling around them. At first, he’d assumed the chaotic energy was just due to the intensity of their fight, but he now realized something else was happening.

"She’s advancing in the middle of battle—that’s her plan!" Dayeon Xinyue’s eyes lit up as she finally understood what Amalia was doing.

There are many ways for a cultivator to advance, but one of the highest forms is to break through in the middle of a fight, like Amalia was doing. In battle, a cultivator’s spirit and energy reach their peak, giving them increasing strength.

"We all thought it was reckless for her to challenge Jiheon Yang, but it turns out she’s using him to help her break through from the peak of the Nascent Soul stage."

The disciples of the Green Lotus Sect were astonished by her strategy. Although others had tried this in the past, no one had ever chosen an opponent so much stronger than themselves.

"Master uncle, did you know about this?" Renshu Chang, who had been worried, felt relieved and looked toward Kenny Lin, who had shown no concern throughout the fight.

"I didn’t," Kenny Lin replied, glancing at him, "but I know that she always has a plan. If she challenged him, she must be confident."

"Martial uncle is right. Amalia is never impulsive," Renshu Chang agreed excitedly.

Kenny Lin looked at him again, thinking, That’s only because you haven’t seen her impulsive side.

With more spiritual energy flowing into Amalia, her Nascent Soul reached full capacity, and even its last eye opened. Thunder rumbled outside the barrier, signaling her advancement. The barrier between Nascent Soul and Soul Formation stages became as thin as a film—just one more push, and it would break.

Sensing her new Soul Formation aura, Jiheon Yang realized she was advancing in the midst of their battle!

Jiheon Yang was going mad. He had been waiting for her energy to run out, but instead, it surged back to peak levels.

How could Nascent Soul Perfected compare to the Soul Formation stage? The two were leagues apart. His only remaining advantage was that his level was still two small stages above hers.

"So what if you advanced? Your level is still lower than mine! You can’t kill me, and in the end, you’ll still exhaust yourself, and I’ll be the one to kill you!" Jiheon Yang’s eyes were bloodshot, his forehead veins bulging, and his face twisted with rage.
