The sounds of fierce weapons clashing rang out, and two dark figures were seen crossing and separating frequently on the arena, with bursts of sword power spreading out and turning into a whirlwind.
Long Aotian was enveloped in dazzling light, and like a falling comet, he crashed heavily towards him.
Lin Fan gripped the sword blade with his left hand, and a surge of powerful spiritual energy roared forth, radiating a dazzling brilliance that engulfed his figure.
The two clashed violently, causing the arena to tremble violently, the energy to spread, and the explosion to be deafening.
"Lin Fan, I know more than just the Immortal Slaying Sword Technique!" Long Aotian said coldly. He had learned a sword technique from Feng Xi that was no less powerful than the Immortal Slaying Sword Technique.
If both of them only use the Immortal Slaying Technique and are very familiar with sword moves, then they cannot counter each other's moves.
But he also learned other sword techniques, which was an advantage.
After a fierce exchange, the two separated. Long Aotian's figure disappeared and reappeared in another location, frequently changing his position. His movements were unpredictable, making it difficult to guess where he was moving.
Then his figure transformed into three people, each radiating the same sword energy.
Everyone was surprised. Long Aotian had been hiding something. It turned out that he had also cultivated other sword techniques. The three figures all seemed real, and the sword energy condensed by each figure was no weaker than his real body.
If the three sword energies were combined, their power would surely double; it wouldn't be a simple addition of one, but rather a multiplied increase.
Even some Nascent Soul stage elders sensed danger upon noticing the brewing sword aura of Long Aotian.
"Senior Brother Sect Leader, are you alright?" Elder Xingfeng asked.
After all, Lin Fan had already performed very well. If the competition continued, Long Aotian would find it difficult to back down, and Lin Fan might be in danger.
"What's the rush? Can't you see that Junior Sister Leng isn't worried at all?" the sect leader said calmly.
Leng Xingyue remained calm, her gaze fixed on Lin Fan, her eyes gleaming with a sharp light. If there was any real danger, she would intervene.
Lin Fan took a deep breath and then released boundless sword intent. Everyone around him had their swords trembling, as if a force was controlling them.
"What's going on?" Sect Leader Zhao Kuo looked at the sword beside him, which trembled as if it were about to submit to a king.
"This sword intent is Junior Sister's sword heart. How did she manage to make ten thousand swords submit?" Peak Master Luo asked.
"A natural sword physique!" the sect leader said in a trembling voice, suppressing his excitement. Lin Fan actually possessed the legendary natural sword physique, a mysterious constitution that only appears once every ten thousand years.
All the elders were astonished, their emotions surging like a turbulent sea. A person with an innate sword physique would be a key successor to be cultivated in any sect on the Tianchen Continent.
"Junior Sister Leng, I didn't expect you to pass on your sword heart to him as well. Have you come to terms with it?" Gongsun Yulong teased.
Looking at Lin Fan, she found the little guy increasingly interesting.
"Senior Sister Yulong is joking. I'm afraid your purpose in coming out today is not really to the bar!" Leng Xingyue said coldly.
Gongsun Yulong did not refute, but instead shrugged and sat back, watching the battle between the two, which was not boring.
Lin Fan remained calm. Long Aotian appeared to be displaying a superb and exquisite sword technique, but his mind was in turmoil and his breathing was not steady enough, which was a fatal weakness.
Pale yellow spiritual energy swirled around him, continuously merging with his sword. In an instant, boundless sword intent enveloped the arena, distorting the space around it.
Although the disciples were far away, they keenly sensed the terrifying sword intent that enveloped the world. Although it was not explicitly targeted at them, it still made them want to escape.
Faintly, the sound of a dragon's roar could be heard coming from the arena, or more precisely, from Lin Fan's sword. Yellow spiritual energy condensed at the tip of the sword, transforming into the shape of a dragon.
"Three Divine Swords!" Long Aotian roared, his three figures merging into one, the sword instantly growing several times larger. Even if a Nascent Soul Stage Level 1 expert came, he was confident he could kill him with a single strike.
Lin Fan gripped the sword hilt with both hands, then raised it above his head, his eyes revealing a hint of coldness.
"The dragon soars in the sky!"
He slashed forward, his dragon form dragging its tail, charging swiftly towards Long Aotian, its overwhelming pressure crushing the arena.
The two forces clashed violently, generating a thunderous roar.
Long Aotian's face turned red, and he almost ground his teeth to powder. He had already used his ultimate move, so why couldn't he crush Lin Fan? He didn't expect it to go so smoothly as he had anticipated.
Lin Fan, on the other hand, was more relaxed. Although he had used all his trump cards, Long Aotian was naturally no match for him with his current strength, unless he made a breakthrough in the battle.
Thinking of this, Long Aotian's aura changed. He sensed a strong killing intent from the dragon form, clearly indicating that Lin Fan wanted to take advantage of the opportunity.
The arena exploded repeatedly, billowing smoke and dust engulfing the two. As if smelling the scent of death, Long Aotian watched as the dragon-shaped power was domineeringly tearing apart his sword energy. He was instantly filled with dread and finally mustered all his strength to let out a beastly roar.
With a loud boom, a powerful shockwave spread outwards.
His aura surged, instantly breaking through the threshold and reaching the Nascent Soul stage. Then, his sword energy unleashed terrifying power, directly shattering the dragon spirit.
"No way, God, are you kidding me?" Lin Fan stared at the scene in disbelief. This was too absurd. Breaking through in battle? They really weren't going to give anyone a chance to survive.
"System, it's your turn. Quickly let me break through to the Nascent Soul stage!" he shouted anxiously.
He was indignant. Why should the chosen one have endless good fortune and incredible luck, breaking through barriers whenever he wanted, and leveling up as easily as drinking water?
"Are you stupid? Who told you not to do more tasks?" the system mocked.
"Heh, look at the tasks you posted. What kind of villain would do this? You want a villain to pick up girls? What were you thinking? Villains only care about their careers!" Lin Fan said coldly.
You shouldn't call it the Villain System anymore. Call it the Romance System or the Dual Cultivation System instead. It's the kind where you'll die without a cultivation partner.
"Ding, host has triggered a hidden mission: steal your junior sister's first kiss." The system's voice rang out, leaving Lin Fan speechless.
What's wrong with this damn system? I'm fighting in the arena, and you're telling me to act like a hooligan?
Ding: Congratulations, host, for completing the mission! Reward: Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage!
Lin Fan: ...
He only just realized that Lu Shuisheng had stolen his first kiss from three lifetimes a few days ago, and now the hidden quest was only being triggered. This delay was a bit too much.
However, he seemed to realize that the system's task assignment was a ruse; its real intention was to force him to do something.
These hidden tasks only pop up later in the game, which is definitely a way to fake performance.
"System, if you went into sales, your company would definitely be able to go public!"
He twitched the corner of his mouth, not really wanting to say anything.
His aura surged instantly, breaking through the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm in one fell swoop. Then, his aura did not stop, and he broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm before stopping.
His breakthrough was swift, lasting only a moment, and the system concealed the commotion, leaving no apparent abnormality.
