Inside the main hall.

The sect leader and several peak masters all stood up and looked at the scene in disbelief.

He can actually use himself as a furnace and his spiritual power as the fire to refine the sword energy of the Heavenly Grade Spirit Sword for his own use!

This Zhou Shan is simply a kendo genius!

No, to be precise, he is a genius in weapon arts!

If you enter the Dao with the help of instruments, you will surely grow into a heavenly-level instrument refiner in time!

Wu Cheng even said bluntly, "Zhou Shan is definitely going to win! Although he's not a physical cultivator, he's already better than a physical cultivator at this moment! His physical strength is comparable to that of a physical cultivator who has reached perfection in the Foundation Establishment Stage!"

Jiang Roushui nodded in agreement. "That's right. When Jiang Deng fought Pan Tong before, he was only at the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. There was no way he could be Zhou Shan's opponent."

"Puff."

The sudden chuckle seemed particularly abrupt.

Everyone couldn't help but show a little anger on their faces, but when they saw that the person who laughed was Baili Chengfeng, they suddenly fell silent.

"Your Excellency, why are you laughing?" Su Heng asked.

Baili Chengfeng smiled casually, "I'm laughing at you being too arbitrary."

Wu Cheng was unconvinced and said, "Jiang Deng's spiritual energy is completely depleted right now. How can he possibly compete with Zhou Shan at his full strength?"

"Just wait and see." Baili Chengfeng shook his head, unwilling to say more.

Everyone followed Baili Chengfeng's gaze and looked at Jiang Deng in the center of the scroll again...

On the ring.

"So this is your ultimate move?"

Looking at Zhou Shan opposite him with his clothes torn to reveal his curvy muscles, Jiang Deng touched his chin and admired him... No, he began to think, it turns out that he can also integrate the sword energy of his natal sword with his own body?

"good."

Zhou Shan nodded seriously. Seeing that he had already won the game, the usually taciturn man spoke a little more for once.

"Ten years ago, I retrieved the Xuanwu Sword, a lower-grade Heavenly Rank spiritual sword, from the Sword Tomb. After taking it as my natal sword, I kept it in my Dantian. During this time, I used my own fire-attributed spiritual power to refine it. It took me a full ten years to finally transform its sword energy into my own."

"Oh~"

Jiang Deng nodded meaningfully.

Unlike Zhou Shan, she was not only able to control the sword energy of the Chongguang Sword, but had even reached a higher level. Combined with her own understanding, she created a more complex and powerful sword intent and had her own sword path.

However, in her previous life, she did not study too much about how to unleash the power of sword intent. She just transformed the sword intent into sword energy and used it to perform her special move "Annihilation". She basically did not use it in other places, so she really did not know this.

But now the chaotic power in her body has been used up and has not had time to recover. If she wants to take action again, she can only use her own physical strength.

At this moment, there was suddenly a new road in front of him, and Jiang Deng couldn't help but feel eager to try it.

Thinking of this, Jiang Deng couldn't wait to close her eyes and control the sword intent in the Chongguang Sword to transform into countless sword qi, which continuously poured into her body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a moment, thousands of sword lights suddenly lit up around Jiang Deng!

This powerful aura swept in all directions, oppressing everyone under the ring, making them feel like thorns on their backs!

"Huh... That feels pretty good, thanks."

Jiang Deng slowly opened her eyes, and at this moment her whole body was filled with sword intent.

Unlike Zhou Shan's heavy and tenacious sword intent, Jiang Deng's sword intent was extremely violent, bringing endless destruction...

The confidence in Zhou Shan's eyes was immediately replaced by astonishment.

How is that possible!

It took him ten years to master the sword intent of his natal sword, but Jiang Deng mastered it in the blink of an eye?

The most important thing is that Jiang Deng’s sword power seems to be no less powerful than his, or even far better than his?

No! Impossible!

Jiang Deng must have used some tricks to psychologically defeat him, so he wouldn't be fooled!

Thinking of this, Zhou Shan gritted his teeth, and his whole body seemed to turn into a sharp sword, attacking Jiang Deng!

Jiang Deng naturally would not back down, and rushed towards Zhou Shan like a sword!

This is a collision of strength and strength, a collision of sword energy and sword energy!

The wind was strong and the dust was flying.

For a moment, others could not see clearly what was happening on the ring.

Snap——!

With a crisp cracking sound, the battle between the two ended.

As the smoke and dust slowly settled, everyone saw that the two people on the ring had separated.

Jiang Deng was unharmed, but Zhou Shan...the natal sword in his dantian actually had a crack on the sword, and all his sword intent disappeared!

Jiang Deng actually won this match!

Inside the main hall.

The peak masters who witnessed this scene fell silent all of a sudden.

They finally believed that Jiang Deng was a kendo genius.

It was obvious that Jiang Deng had not understood this move before, but now he was able to perform a similar move just by observing Zhou Shan's method.

What is a kendo genius? This is the true kendo genius!

And her sword energy...

Yan Zhen frowned and asked, "What sword intent did Jiang Deng comprehend?"

There are three thousand great ways, and there are also various sword intents in the sword way. Most of them are common sword intents such as killing and attacking, but Jiang Deng's sword intent is different from these sword intents.

To be precise, they had never seen such a terrifying sword intent as Jiang Deng's. Wherever the sword energy passed, it carried a terrifying momentum that seemed to destroy everything!

Su Heng, who had the highest cultivation level, shook his head and sighed, "I don't know either. I just know that if she hadn't held back, it would have been not only Zhou Shan's natal sword that would have been destroyed, but also Zhou Shan himself."

Wu Cheng suppressed the shock in his heart and sneered, "Zhou Shan has three spiritual roots, so it's not surprising that Jiang Deng can beat him. But if he meets an opponent with heavenly spiritual roots, Jiang Deng may not be able to win!"

After being slapped in the face several times, no one agrees with him anymore...

Baili Chengfeng kept his eyes on Jiang Deng.

Abnormal.

Normal sword cultivators would need at least several decades, and at most several hundred years, to comprehend the sword intent. Jiang Deng had actually grown from a mortal to his current level in just over a month. I felt something was fishy going on...

——

Foundation Establishment Realm Competition Area.

Lin Jun, who had just defeated his opponent Leng Baige and walked off the No. 1 ring, also witnessed the shocking scene of Jiang Deng defeating Zhou Shan.

Lin Jun narrowed his eyes slightly and subconsciously clenched his fists.

He couldn't wait to meet Jiang Deng in the ring!

Suppressing the surging fighting spirit in his heart, Lin Jun turned around and left, entering the rest area to meditate and regulate his breathing.

On the ring.

When Zhou Shan discovered that his natal sword was damaged, the light in his eyes disappeared, "I lost."

Manager Zhou said at the right moment: "Jiang Deng wins!"

Zhou Shan raised his foot and was about to walk off the stage in a daze.

"Hey, wait!"

Jiang Deng remembered the new and wonderful use of sword energy he had learned from this man, and hurriedly called out to him.

Zhou Shan turned to look at Jiang Deng, a hint of confusion in his eyes. He didn't understand why Jiang Deng suddenly called him? Was he trying to humiliate him?

"Don't you want to see my sword?" Jiang Deng smiled and showed the heavy light sword in his hand.

Anyway, the Chongguang Sword has not yet recovered to its heyday, so there is no need to worry about anyone discovering its identity as a divine sword. Just take a look at it and consider it as repayment for what you have learned from Zhou Shan.
