Thunderous Sword Intent, Ice Soul Sword!

Qin Yi ignored Ding Ye's teasing.

Mu Wan once coaxed him to sleep and took him bath together. Qin Yi respected Mu Wan very much!

Then, Qin Yi began his cultivation.

He poured the entire bottle of century-old Earth Core Milk that Mu Wan had given him into his mouth.

This is a very high-grade cultivation resource, with mild medicinal effects, but it is extremely expensive.

If Mu Wan were still here, she would definitely be terrified. After all, no matter how mild the medicinal power of Earth Core Milk is, even a martial artist in the Core Formation stage might not be able to withstand one bottle.

Qin Yi felt the vast and pure energy dissipating within his body, and he immediately activated the Primordial Demon Art, visualizing the demonic image.

The demon devours heaven and earth!

The energy of the Earth Core Milk, along with the malevolent energy originating from the ground of this secret realm, flowed wildly through Qin Yi's body.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Qin Yi, who was cultivating in the Seven Star Secret Realm, suddenly experienced a surge in his aura.

breakthrough!

First level of the Condensing Qi Realm!

The Condensing Qi Realm, as the name suggests, allows one's Yuan Power to be transformed into Qi that is almost tangible, resulting in a significant improvement in both offense and defense compared to a True Yuan Realm martial artist.

At this time.

Ding Ye's voice echoed in Qin Yi's mind: "With your current cultivation level, you should have no problem dealing with this assessment, but your swordsmanship is still too poor."

"Since there are still three days before the assessment begins, I'll teach you a low-grade Earth-rank Thunderclap Sword Technique!"

"Thank you so much, Master Ding!" Qin Yi said excitedly.

Strength is the foundation of a martial artist.

But having power also means learning how to use it.

Martial arts are the bridge to using power.

If you use mediocre martial arts techniques, you can only achieve seven or eight tenths of the power you have.

Exquisite martial arts can make ten parts of power achieve twelve parts of effect.

Master Ding continued, "The reason I taught you the Thunderclap Sword Technique is because the top-grade spiritual sword in your hand is of the lightning attribute."

The next moment, the inheritance of the Thunderclap Sword Technique was integrated into Qin Yi's soul.

Master Ding said, "However, I suggest you first try to comprehend thunder through this sword. If you can grasp the sword intent of thunder, then practicing the Thunderclap Sword Technique will be much more effective!"

"Alright, I'll give it a try!" Qin Yi learned how to comprehend the Thunder Sword Intent from the inheritance given to him by Master Ding.

He immediately sat cross-legged and placed the spirit sword between his knees.

Power flowed, activating the lightning attribute of the spirit sword.

His strands of spiritual energy slowly flowed into the crackling lightning arcs on the surface of the sword.

"boom!"

The next moment, without warning, a huge thunderclap resounded in Qin Yi's mind.

He felt as if he had entered a world filled with lightning and thunder.

The thunder was violent and swift, domineering and powerful, with terrifying bolts of lightning raging wildly across this world.

Qin Yi knew that this was the Thunder Sword Intent.

He immersed himself in the world of thunderous sword intent, trying to comprehend the power of thunder.

"Rage, shattering, destruction."

"And that incredible speed..."

"This is Thunder!"

A sense of understanding gradually arose in Qin Yi's heart.

However, there has always been a barrier between him and the Thunder Sword Intent.

In the darkness, an invisible barrier kept him outside the gate of the Thunder Sword Intent.

Time passed slowly.

Qin Yi felt a splitting headache, as if his soul was about to be shattered by lightning.

This is a sign that the soul is about to give out from too much contemplation.

But he never truly understood it!

"Is this really how it ends?" Qin Yi thought to himself, feeling somewhat unwilling.

But just then...

He suddenly noticed that in a corner of this world, on a patch of ground shattered by lightning, tiny green shoots were sprouting.

Suddenly, Qin Yi felt as if he had been enlightened.

"Thunder is not just about breaking and destruction."

"Beneath the thunder, there is also rebirth."

"When thunder strikes, all things come to life!"

Upon realizing this, Qin Yi suddenly understood.

next moment.

Thunderous sounds emanated from his body, and he suddenly opened his eyes, gripping the hilt of his sword with one hand.

The lightning flashing on the sword's surface blended perfectly with his aura, causing the lightning to surge.

Become!

He has already grasped the essence of the Thunder Sword!

Qin Yi's face lit up with joy. At this moment, he felt as if the sword was an extension of the flesh and blood of his arm.

Like using your arm and fingers!

The moves of the Thunderclap Sword Technique flashed rapidly through his mind.

A moment later, a sword flashed up, unleashing a burst of sword light imbued with thunder.

Qin Yi spent the rest of the time practicing swordsmanship.

three days later.

A loud voice echoed throughout the Seven Star Secret Realm.

"The assessment begins!"

"Now, let's announce the rules!"

"All participants in the assessment must hunt down the demonic beasts in the Seven Star Secret Realm and use the spirit orbs obtained during registration to absorb the stellar energy left in the demonic core by the Heavenly Star Martial Academy to calculate star points!"

"Seven days from now, the top 500 individuals who accumulate Star Points will be eligible to join the Heavenly Star Martial Academy!"

"First place will receive an additional 3,000 Star Points, second place will receive an additional 2,000 Star Points, and third place will receive an additional 1,000 Star Points."

"Star Points are important at the Heavenly Star Martial Academy. They can be exchanged for cultivation techniques, martial arts, pills, weapons, and various special cultivation resources."

"During the assessment, everyone's storage rings will be sealed by the power of the Seven Star Secret Realm. Each person can only use one weapon and cannot use spirit stones or pills!"

Upon hearing this sound...

Qin Yi took a deep breath and looked towards the southwest.

As long as the distance isn't too far, he can sense the fluctuations of the innate sword soul's aura, after all, it originally belonged to him!

"Qin Feixue, your life is now on a countdown!"

Qin Yi let out a cold shout and immediately burst into his fastest speed, heading southwest.

At this moment, Qin Feixue, who was in the Seven Star Secret Realm, was not in a hurry to hunt monsters.

She sat cross-legged, a sword that exuded a chill and appeared to be crystal clear resting on her knees.

Qin Feixue activated her innate sword spirit to refine the sword.

This sword was specially made for her after she came to Tianxing City and followed her father, Qin Cang, to visit a renowned swordsmith. The swordsmith tailored the sword specifically for her needs.

The sword is named Ice Soul, and it is a low-grade Dao sword!

Weapon grades, similar to a martial artist's physique, are divided into treasure weapons, spiritual weapons, Dao weapons, sacred weapons, and divine weapons.

Although Qin Feixue had only recently acquired this low-grade Dao sword, she was already able to control it well thanks to her innate sword spirit. However, she was still a little short of being able to wield it with ease.

She is now about to complete the final step of the ritual.

A moment later, the low-grade sword hummed, emitting a crisp sound. Wisps of cold air spread out with the sword light, and the surrounding ground slowly condensed into a layer of ice.

Qin Feixue opened her eyes instantly, stood up, gripped her sword hilt, and unleashed a slash. The sword energy was cold and icy, freezing the heavens and earth with astonishing power.

Qin Feixue looked excited and muttered to herself:

"Qin Yi, you killed my brother, do you think I can't do anything to you?"

"Once the people from our Qin family who are here to participate in the assessment meet up with me, no matter how you try to hide, I will definitely find you, tear you to pieces, and grind your bones to dust!"

"I will avenge my brother myself and pay tribute to his spirit in heaven!"
