Chapter Twenty: Temporary Breakthrough
"How is that possible?"
Looking at Su Yang now transformed into Xu Wan, with her beautiful appearance.
Su Ya could hardly believe that there were actually martial artists in the world who could fight across a major realm, and that he had actually encountered such a martial artist.
"Second Uncle, please don't hurt her!"
Compared to Su Ya, Su Chen didn't have a deep sense of how strong Su Yang was at this moment.
In his mind, his second uncle was a master of innate strength, and no matter how strong Xu Wan was, she was definitely no match for him.
Seeing the two fighting, he was naturally anxious, even though Su Yang had just wanted to kill him a moment ago.
Su Ya had no time to pay attention to Su Chen. He directly enveloped Su Chen with his innate true essence and sent him away in Su Chen's panic.
In the ensuing battle, even the slightest aftershock of the attack would shatter Su Chen, who was at the fourth level of Body Tempering.
Keeping him around would only get in the way.
"Miss Xu, you truly are a prodigy! You are the most talented person I have ever seen in my entire life!"
With a stern expression, Su Ya spoke solemnly.
"Is that so?"
Su Yang casually twirled his sword, offering no comment.
His achievements today are entirely due to his own hard work and struggle. He doesn't really have much of a feeling about his own talent.
With Su Chen gone, Su Ya had no more scruples, and his abundant true essence enveloped his innate body.
Her thick hair danced in the air, like a deity descending from the heavens.
Su Yang was no weakling either. The earth's flames filled his body and gathered around him, making him appear like a crystal-clear golden body.
The flaming longsword in his hand gleamed with a sharp edge, its sword energy intertwined with intense heat, making Su Ya take notice.
"Miss Xu, you must possess the Earth Flame, which ranks twenty-sixth on the Spirit Flame Ranking. The former Fire Spirit King used this flame to make a name for himself in the Great Xia Dynasty and was even crowned a king because of it. Now that you have it, no one in the younger generation of the Great Xia Dynasty can compare to you!"
Although Su Yang wanted to kill his own Su family descendant, the admiration in Su Ya's voice was genuine.
At such a young age, he had already reached the Acquired Realm, possessed a spiritual fire, and was a direct disciple of the Sect Master of the Falling Cloud Sword Sect.
Even in his eyes, his good-for-nothing nephew was indeed unworthy of marrying Xu Wan.
Su Yang chuckled: "Elder Su, you flatter me."
Su Yang didn't have any ill feelings towards Su Ya, but since Su Ya was interfering with his killing of Su Chen, there was nothing he could do.
For him, Su Chen was doomed to die; there was no reasoning with him.
The two then stopped wasting words, since Su Yang wanted to kill Su Chen, and Su Ya could not agree to it under any circumstances. The only option was for the two to fight.
A powerful aura erupted from the two of them at full speed, and then their figures disappeared one after the other.
The air was filled with the occasional sounds of collisions and the powerful energy fluctuations generated by the two fighters' exchanges.
It instantly turned the entire area into ruins.
Countless ancient trees were snapped in half, their leaves fluttering down, but before they could even touch the ground, they were shattered into pieces by the aftershocks of Su Yang and his companion's energy.
Once again, he dodged Su Ya's palm strike by sidestepping; the methods of a master of innate cultivation were extraordinary.
He can be said to be the strongest living person Su Yang has ever encountered since his debut.
That powerful innate true essence was far stronger than his acquired true energy. If it weren't for the power of the earth's flames, Su Yang probably wouldn't have been able to fight Su Ya at all.
This is the significance of a naturally powerful expert.
Even though his cultivation techniques and martial arts were all stronger than Su Ya's, this was still a huge gap in their cultivation levels.
The sword of flames moves with him, swift as a serpent, fast as lightning.
Each sword strike aimed directly at Su Ya's vital points.
But each time, he blocked it, his bare hands bearing the full force of Su Yang's fiery sword energy, yet he remained unharmed.
Only the palms were slightly red.
"It's incredibly powerful!"
The collision between the sword blade and his palm caused a shockwave that made Su Yang's blood and qi surge.
Knowing that he was still somewhat inferior to Su Ya, he feared that in this protracted battle, he would be defeated by Su Ya first, let alone kill Su Chen.
If he were captured then, although he didn't believe the other party would dare to kill him, he feared that if he missed tonight, he might not have such a good opportunity to kill Su Chen again.
After pondering for a moment, Su Yang stopped hesitating and silently converted the Fire Spirit Fruit in the jade box on his chest into Martial Arts Points.
With another swing of his sword, Su Yang barely managed to knock Su Ya back. He glanced at the panel and saw that he had gained about 1,000 martial arts points, and was overjoyed!
He sighed inwardly, thinking how astonishing the energy contained within a level-five spiritual object was!
Without hesitation, they made a last-minute breakthrough and reversed the course of the battle.
It takes 250 points to advance from the second to the third level of the Acquired Realm. Each subsequent advancement requires an additional 50 points, which is much more than the points required to advance to the Qi Gathering Realm.
I spent 900 points to directly raise my cultivation level to the fifth level of the Acquired Realm!
A powerful aura of true energy surged instantly, its momentum like a dragon soaring into the sky.
Su Ya naturally noticed the change in Su Yang's cultivation level.
Shocked! His eyes glared angrily at Su Yang, and he exclaimed, "You were actually hiding your cultivation level!"
Su Ya didn't consider the possibility that Su Yang's breakthrough was temporary, because directly improving three levels of cultivation was simply impossible.
The only explanation is that the other party is hiding something!
Su Ya was utterly shocked that his opponent, a martial artist of innate level, was still holding back!
Just how extraordinary is this young lady of the Xu family? She's only twenty years old, yet she's already reached this level!
Seeing Su Yang's gaze, Su Ya felt a pang of regret. How could his Su family have made enemies with such a prodigy? If this Miss Xu were to grow up in the future, she would at least be a Supreme Emperor level expert!
That was an existence at the pinnacle of humanity in the Great Xia Dynasty, no, even in the entire Xuan Yuan Realm!
