Chapter 480: 480

Descension Secret Realm, Sword Path Space.

As Lin Chen dueled with those seven strands of invisible Sword Qi, his body, Divine Soul, and swordsmanship all rapidly improved.

Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division was fully immersed in the battle against the seven strands of invisible Sword Qi; perhaps even he had not noticed these changes in his body.

Swish swish swish—

And as the Sword Qi clashed, Lin Chen was able to confront the seven strands of invisible Sword Qi with his sword in hand, his body no longer harmed by the invisible Sword Qi.

With a slash of Sword Qi, the seven strands of invisible Sword Qi before him instantly dissipated.

Immediately after, the white figure of the Spirit of the Cave Mansion appeared within the Sword Path Space.

"Lin Chen, congratulations, you have successfully comprehended the invisible Sword Intent left behind by the master."

The Girl in White’s gaze landed on Lin Chen. When forced to choose between Lin Chen and Ma Yuan as her future master, she naturally selected Lin Chen. Therefore, she was very happy that Lin Chen had passed this trial.

"Invisible Sword Intent?"

Lin Chen said lightly, his mind still caught in the clash with the seven strands of Sword Qi, not yet returning to his senses.

Swish swish—

Suddenly, several strands of Sword Qi flew out within this space, heading straight for Lin Chen’s Soul Sea.

In that instant, Lin Chen’s understanding of the path of the sword became clear.

...

Formation Sect, on the Martial Arts Arena.

Lin Chen, holding the Flowing Light Sword, stared unblinkingly at Chang Bai.

The Sword Intent emanating from Lin Chen immediately caused Chang Bai to frown.

He was greatly unsettled by the Sword Intent coming from Lin Chen and could not understand how Lin Chen could have such a powerful grasp of Sword Intent all of a sudden. Could it be that this fellow had been holding back all along?

"Stop all this trickery, I refuse to believe that your swordsmanship is stronger than mine."

Chang Bai shouted and immediately swung his sword, slashing toward Lin Chen.

The overwhelming Sword Qi fell from the sky, and the Formation Sect elders frowned, ready to rescue Lin Chen at any moment.

However, Lin Chen faced Chang Bai’s attack without fear, swinging his Flowing Light Sword forward to meet it.

Boom—

The two strands of Sword Qi collided, creating a massive explosion that scattered Spiritual Energy all around.

Lu Zizai pointed once again, and a strand of Sword Qi outside the Martial Arts Arena formed a barrier, protecting the surrounding crowd from the shockwaves of the duel’s Sword Qi.

Whoosh whoosh—

Suddenly, Chang Bai leapt into the air, concentrating his power to launch an even more powerful Sword Qi attack at Lin Chen.

Knowing Lin Chen’s formidable prowess in close combat, Chang Bai did not dare to approach him.

But Lin Chen was not about to let him have his way.

Swoosh swoosh—

A pair of purple wings unexpectedly appeared on Lin Chen’s back, and his figure vanished from the spot, leaving behind an afterimage. In the next instant, Lin Chen appeared behind Chang Bai, stabbing out with his sword.

"What a crafty movement technique!"

The surrounding Martial Artists were shocked by Lin Chen’s technique, and only then did Qin Kaifeng and Deng Yu realize that Lin Chen had been concealing his true strength all this time.

With that said, could it be that Lin Chen’s swordsmanship was indeed no less than Chang Bai’s.

"Brother Lin, Brother Lin, it turns out that you were holding back your true strength during our previous spar."

"Although I held back as well, it seems you’ve kept way too much in reserve."

Qin Kaifeng, watching Lin Chen who was moving unpredictably in the sky, said with a wry smile.

"To approach me yet still use swordsmanship, who do you think you’re looking down upon?"

Chang Bai, aware of Lin Chen’s prowess in close combat, believed that if Lin Chen relied on his unpredictable movement technique and kept dodging his attacks—using his formidable physical strength to fight him—then Chang Bai admitted he might indeed face defeat at Lin Chen’s hands.

However, the fact that Lin Chen was countering him with swordsmanship seemed like an insult to Chang Bai.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Once Lin Chen got close to Chang Bai, he didn’t use the force of his fists to strike but engaged in swordplay instead.

Chang Bai immediately struck out in anger, and the two exchanged hundreds of moves with their swordsmanship.

This battle directly showcased Lin Chen’s swordsmanship abilities, surpassing those of Tan Fei.

The martial artists who had earlier claimed that Lin Chen only won his battles because of his charm and by avoiding fights now wished they could crawl into a hole.

At this moment, even the clouds in the sky were scattered by the countless Sword Qi from their exchanges.

Their fight had lasted nearly two hours, and yet there was still no victor.

After fighting at full power for such a long time, Chang Bai was beginning to feel the strain, his Spiritual Power starting to wane.

But he noticed Lin Chen didn’t show a single sign of fatigue and seemed as if he was intoxicated with the battle itself.

"Something’s not right. This guy’s power doesn’t seem to have weakened at all, and it looks like he’s, entered a Meditative Trance..."

Chang Bai looked at Lin Chen, utterly puzzled.

It was as if Lin Chen wasn’t simply fighting him but rather comprehending some sort of true intent, similar to when he was in the Formation Sect’s Enlightment Stone Forest.

"Is this guy treating me as a whetstone, using me as a tool to practice his swordsmanship?"

Upon realizing this, Chang Bai couldn’t accept it; he felt humiliated.

"Boy, you’ve successfully infuriated me. Even If I risk sustaining a hidden injury, I will have you die by my sword."

Chang Bai bellowed in rage, and the sword in his hand suddenly moved, immediately bursting forth with a white Spiritual Light.

The next instant, countless snowflakes appeared in the sky, and the temperature of the space plummeted rapidly.

Innumerable ice spikes emerged, transforming into swords of cold ice, all pointed directly at Lin Chen.

In that moment, Chang Bai fused the Power of Cold Ice with the True Meaning of the Sword, using the Frost Sword to attempt to assassinate Lin Chen.

"Lin Chen, let’s see if you can withstand this move."

Chang Bai laughed maniacally, swinging both hands towards Lin Chen, sending all the countless ice spike swords in the air piercing towards him.

One must know that each of these ice spikes carried an attack that was more powerful than any of his previous Sword Qi.

The Formation Sect elders below, seeing this scene, were about to intervene to save Lin Chen, not wishing for him to die by Chang Bai’s sword; however, they were stopped by a voice from Lu Zizai.

"This young man is comprehending the True Meaning of Swordsmanship; don’t disturb him."

"I have an inkling that he can resolve the crisis before him."

Lu Zizai himself couldn’t fathom why he felt this way.

Upon hearing this, the elders looked towards Mu Qianqiu for guidance, hoping for her directive.

However, Mu Qianqiu didn’t speak; she just kept her gaze fixed on Lin Chen, clearly agreeing with Lu Zizai’s statement.
