"I want to get her... I must get her!!" Xiao Kuangyu and Xiao Kuanglei's chests rose and fell, and they made the same sound in their hearts. ~~~~ They are the sons of the Xiao Sect's leader, and the future heroes of the world. In their eyes, women have always been just appendages of men. They have never thought about it, nor do they believe that there can be a woman in this world who can make them lose their hearts. But now, this woman has appeared, and they even deeply feel that if they can get this woman, their life will be worthwhile and it will be the real peak of life! Compared with this, the future position of the Xiao Sect's leader seems unattractive.
This was also the thought of the men who had enough capital. Those who did not have enough capital could only feel ashamed after being amazed. The rest were just fantasies that echoed in their hearts like clouds in the sky...
"...She's even prettier now. She's only seventeen years old. In a few years, she'll be even prettier." Yun Che muttered softly. Looking at the reactions of the people around him, it was impossible for him not to feel a little bit vain, because this stunning girl was his wife... But he believed that if this fact was made public, he would be riddled with jealous and resentful eyes.
Xia Qingyue has always known her beauty, but she doesn't think it's such an important talent. Many times, she even hopes that her appearance can be more ordinary. This time, she came to participate in the ranking battle. It was the palace master's personal order to cover her face, and she herself had no resistance. Chu Yueli also told her not to let the ice veil on her face fall off. But Ling Yun's magical sword, like a stream of light, made this accident that she didn't want to see happen.
Lingyun is Lingyun after all.
However, this did not cause much impact on Xia Qingyue's state of mind. From the time the ice veil fell off to the time her face was covered again, she only let out a light sigh. But the Ling Yun in front of her was different. Ling Yun, who always kept his sword in mind and had a heart without any dust, had obviously lost his breathing and his eyes were no longer calm and stern, but were filled with turmoil that had not subsided for a long time.
This was the first time in Ling Yun's life that he was so distracted in front of an opponent during a fight.
Just like Ling Yuefeng when he saw Chu Yuechan's true face that year.
Ling Yun's strength was beyond doubt. If he had not shown mercy and only cut her clothes and veil with that sword just now, but had cut her throat, she might have lost her life. Although she had unparalleled talent, she had a fatal weakness, which was her lack of practical experience! This kind of thing could not be compensated by any talent. In this regard, she was far behind Yun Che.
However, this also sounded a warning bell for Xia Qingyue. Facing Ling Yun, this terrifying opponent, she could no longer hold back. She retracted the ice crystal sword in her hand, and flicked her right arm. A ring of white light suddenly floated around her, turning into a dancing white long silk. The white long silk was half a foot wide and two feet long. It was white and shiny like jade, smooth and smooth like satin, and the light could reflect people. It matched the light from the sky in the distance, exuding a hazy luster, and floating around it was a mysterious and ethereal ice spirit.
The long silk seemed to have spirituality, floating around Xia Qingyue's body like a white spirit snake, and the scattered ice spirits intertwined with the ice aura around her, which was extremely beautiful.
"That is..."
“It’s the Heavenly Mysterious Weapon of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace… the Ice Phoenix Jade Silk! After Shui Wushuang and Wu Xuexin were eliminated, it was indeed handed over to Xia Qingyue.”
“But I heard that the Ice Phoenix Jade Silk is extremely difficult to control. To bring out some of its power, not only does one need to have at least the Profound Strength of the Earthly Profound Realm, but the Frozen Cloud Art must also be above the fifth level… Her opponent is Ling Yun, and Ling Yun’s control of the Heavenly Yuan Sword has reached the pinnacle. Even if she takes out the Ice Phoenix Jade Silk, there will be no chance of a turnaround. At most, she will struggle a little.”
The appearance of the only Heavenly Mysterious Artifact of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace naturally attracted the attention of the entire audience. At this moment, Xia Qingyue made a very strange move. She stretched out her snow-white jade hand, grabbed the ordinary-looking white jade pendant around her neck, and gently pulled it down.
The moment the white jade pendant left her body, the aura of profound energy released from Xia Qingyue’s body suddenly surged. In just a short breath, she leaped from the original eighth level of the Profound Spirit Realm to the ninth level of the Profound Spirit Realm, and then to the tenth level of the Profound Spirit Realm… and then she broke through the scope of the Profound Spirit Realm in a straight line, reaching the first level of the Profound Earth Realm… the second level of the Profound Earth Realm…
Finally, it was fixed at the third level of the Earthly Profound Realm… The strength of his profound energy was on par with Ling Yun’s! !
Of course, young Xuanists whose Xuanli level was not high enough could not perceive such a change clearly, but those elders whose strength was above Earth Xuan were all horrified and stood up from their seats in extreme shock.
“Wha…what!! This is impossible…how is this possible!!”
In this ranking competition, Ling Yuefeng had been surprised and surprised many times, but all of them combined were not as shocking as this moment. Not only him, but also the people from Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, all those who felt the change in Xia Qingyue's profound strength, including Xiao Juetian, Fen Moli, Xiao Boyun, Qin Wuyou... and so on, all had shocked expressions, as if they had seen the buildings of the Heavenly Palace with their own eyes.
“Palace Master Qin, what’s wrong?” Qin Wushang’s expression changed drastically when he suddenly stood up, causing Yun Che and Cang Yue to ask hurriedly.
Qin Wushang took a deep breath and said with difficulty in an extremely dry voice: "It turns out to be... it is... the third level of the Earth Profound Realm!"
“Ah!?!?” Cang Yue and Xia Yuanba opened their mouths in shock. Yun Che’s expression also froze there, with a deep shock flashing in the depths of his eyes.
In the Xuanli test before the ranking battle, Ling Yun showed the Xuanli of the third level of the Earth Profound Realm, which shocked the whole audience. But although people were shocked, they did not feel too much unacceptable. Because Ling Yun was already at the ninth level of the Spiritual Profound Realm at the age of seventeen, with his amazing talent, it was not too exaggerated to break through to the third level of the Earth Profound Realm at the age of twenty.
But, Xia Qingyue was only seventeen years old this year… Seventeen years old at the third level of the Profound Earth Realm, what did this mean?
This was a complete crush of Ling Yun, who was recognized as "the best of the younger generation in the Blue Wind Empire". This was a talent that had never happened before in the entire history of the Blue Wind Empire!
He is the most worthy and undiscounted person in the history!!
“Humph, she is indeed hiding her profound strength. I actually didn’t notice it until now because of her necklace!” Jasmine snorted coldly.
Yun Che: “…”
The necklace that Xia Qingyue took off from her neck was called the "Ice Mist Pearl", which could perfectly suppress the wearer's profound strength to any degree! That's right, it was suppression, not the kind of concealment that was easily detected. Unless one used profound strength to deliberately pay attention to this inconspicuous necklace, even the throne would never be able to find it. When she was in Floating Cloud City, Xia Qingyue's true profound strength was also hidden under this Ice Mist Pearl.
Hiding her profound strength in this ranking match was of course Xia Qingyue’s inevitable choice. Otherwise, if she directly revealed her true profound strength, then one could imagine what kind of sensation and commotion it would cause.
A seventeen-year-old who was at the Earth Profound Realm was unprecedented, and a seventeen-year-old who was at the third level of the Earth Profound Realm, such a talent and aptitude, had made the people present unable to find words to describe it. As powerful as the Xiao Sect, the Burning Heaven Sect, and even the Heavenly Sword Villa, they would never think that they had the ability to train such a disciple.
Her peerless beauty astounded the whole audience, and then, her amazing talent was revealed to the world… Those shocked warriors couldn’t help but wonder if this seventeen-year-old girl was not a mortal at all, but a princess sent to the human world by the Jade Emperor of Heaven, and that’s why she was favored by God so unsparingly.
In people's eyes, this duel should have been a one-sided crushing victory for Ling Yun, but at this moment, the situation had changed dramatically. Three years ago, Ling Yun, who was at the ninth level of the Profound Spirit Realm, easily defeated Mu Lingxue, who was at the tenth level of the Profound Spirit Realm. He undoubtedly had a strong ability to challenge opponents of higher levels, so from this point of view, Ling Yun should still have the upper hand, but it was no longer a crushing victory.
As for his talent, he was completely defeated in front of Xia Qingyue! He was not even on the same level as her... In the entire Blue Wind Empire, it was impossible to find someone who could even be compared with her.
Ling Yun, who was closest to Xia Qingyue, felt the changes in her profound strength most clearly. His heart was turbulent like the rolling waves of the sea, and it was difficult to calm down. In his sight, Xia Qingyue slowly stretched out her arm. With this small movement, the trajectory of the Ice Phoenix Qionghua Silk also changed, becoming more light and ethereal, just like a playful elf playing around a beautiful fairy. Half of the torn sleeve fell silently, revealing a small half of the jade arm. The white skin was almost transparent, as if it was carefully carved from the most flawless white jade in the world, magnificent and incomparable.
“Master Ling, thank you for showing mercy just now. Otherwise, Qingyue would have been defeated. From now on, Qingyue will go all out.”
A moving voice like the sound of nature floated out from her petal-like lips, lingering in Lingyun's ears, leaving him staring blankly and without any reaction for a long time.
At this moment, Ling Yuefeng's cold rebuke suddenly came from his heart: "Yun'er, concentrate!"
Ling Yuefeng's soul transmission was like pouring a bucket of cold water on Ling Yun's head, instantly sobering him up. He quickly cleared his mind and focused his sword intent. He did not speak, but answered with the power of his sword.
The Tianyuan Sword pointed forward, and at the tip of the sword, the space was greatly distorted. An unparalleled sword force was released, sweeping across the entire sword arena like an invisible wave. For a moment, he seemed to be the center of heaven and earth. Even the spectators who were far away could clearly feel the overwhelming momentum. That feeling was as if someone was pointing a knife at the center of the eyebrows, and the whole body was cold! Compared with the sword force when Ling Jie held two swords, it was nearly ten times stronger!
A sword thrust out, and the sky mandarin duck buzzed!
In an instant, Ling Yun disappeared. All people could see was the blue sword light and the clear space ripples... That's right! Those were real space ripples caused by cutting through space, not the small space distortion caused by Ling Jie's sword power. The two were completely different!
Xia Qingyue’s spiritual perception naturally increased greatly as her profound strength was fully activated. In her eyes, this sword was no longer invisible. She moved her upper body slightly, and the Ice Phoenix Jade Silk instantly danced. As the white light fluttered, it accurately touched the flying Tianyuan Sword. The next moment, the Ice Phoenix Jade Silk was like a spirit snake that suddenly woke up, and it entwined itself around the sword like lightning. At the same time, a chill that was enough to freeze space suddenly erupted...
