6: Chapter 6 The Extreme of Wind, Divine Sword Controlling Thunder

After returning from the Star Dou Great Forest, Ji Xuan returned to the peak of Wuhun Divine Mountain once again.

The goal of his secluded cultivation was clear: to create his own sword techniques.

More than two months had passed since then.

At this moment, Ji Xuan stood on the open ground, eyes closed and mind focused, gripping the Sword of Order tightly in his hand as the golden runes on the blade suddenly lit up.

He raised his arm, holding the blade horizontally before him, pointing directly at a giant boulder in the distance that was thick enough for one person to embrace.

The Power of Order circulated through the sword, and wind elements began to gather around him, howling as they formed a continuously rotating vortex.

Ji Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, and the wind elements gathered entirely onto the blade.

"Extreme of Wind · Meteor Kill."

With a flick of his wrist, the sword struck out like a venomous snake flicking its tongue.

"Boom!"

A thin yet sharp golden Sword Qi instantly tore through the air, crashing into the boulder.

Countless stone fragments exploded from the surface of the boulder, leaving a hole the thickness of a finger that was only halfway deep.

Ji Xuan did not stop; he leaped up, using the power of the wind to briefly hover in the air.

"Extreme of Wind · Sunset Shine."

He thrust the Sword of Order in his hand violently toward the boulder below.

"Boom! Boom...!"

In the blink of an eye, several sharp Sword Qi descended one after another, and the sound of explosions rang out continuously.

As the dust gradually dissipated... the surface of the boulder was covered in countless tiny cracks.

"Finally, it's a success."

The wind elements gradually dispersed, and Ji Xuan landed steadily, sheathing his sword and standing still, his mouth curling slightly as he looked at the marks on the boulder's surface.

He had been pondering how to use wind elements on the sword to create sword techniques.

A month ago, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he thought of the Dou techniques from the Cloud Mist Sect in the Dou Qi Continent.

He combined it with the unique Soul Power of the Douluo Continent and kept trying... and now he had finally succeeded in creating a Douluo Continent version of the 'Extreme of Wind'.

"Next, let's try this move..."

Ji Xuan collected his thoughts, flipped his wrist, held the long sword vertically, and pointed the tip towards the firmament.

"Boom!"

The originally clear sky darkened, dark clouds rolled, and thunder and lightning intertwined.

Since absorbing his second spirit ring, Ji Xuan's control over thunder elements had improved further.

After two months of contemplation, he could now actively summon a trace of lightning power.

Several small bolts of lightning suddenly struck down, gathering on the tip of the sword like a spider web.

The blade instantly burst forth with blinding golden lightning.

"Divine Sword Controls Thunder!"

Ji Xuan slashed downwards violently, the power of the thunder transforming into a golden beam of sword light, crashing down upon the boulder.

"Boom—!"

This time, under the violent power of the thunder, the boulder completely collapsed, turning into a pile of rubble.

The thunderclouds dispersed, and the sky returned to clarity.

Ji Xuan sheathed his sword and stood still, a trace of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. "As expected, the destructive power of lightning is stronger."

"The power of these three self-created Spirit Abilities should be comparable to a third Spirit Ability."

However, as his understanding of the Power of Order deepened, his application of the basic Laws would become increasingly proficient.

The power of these self-created Spirit Abilities still had much room for improvement.

...

Inside the manor.

Qian Daoliu stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Ji Xuan with a gentle gaze, and spoke slowly:

"Xiao Xuan, your Sword Dao has reached Major Achievement in these two years."

Qian Daoliu paused, then changed the subject.

"However, the path of cultivation cannot be walked behind closed doors. Master intends to send you to Spirit Hall Academy."

"For the next Soul Master Tournament, Master hopes you can represent the academy."

"If you can win the championship."

"Master will announce you as the new Saint of Spirit Hall at the Soul Master Tournament."

Saint?!

Ji Xuan couldn't help but smile inwardly.

Bibi Dong had always been grooming Hu Liena as her successor, conferring upon her the title of Saintess. If he were to become the Saint... wouldn't Hu Liena's position be in jeopardy?

Wouldn't Bibi Dong hate him even more?

However, what did Bibi Dong's feelings have to do with him?

He had never forgotten the killing intent Bibi Dong had directed at him in the beginning.

It was just that he had been in Spirit City for the past two years, so even if that woman were grinding her teeth in hatred, she wouldn't dare to make a move against him openly.

Ji Xuan composed himself and bowed respectfully. "Disciple will obey Master's orders."

Since his Master valued him so much, he naturally wouldn't let Qian Daoliu down.

Qian Daoliu nodded slightly and took out an admission form. "Go report tomorrow; Master has already prepared the procedures for you."

Ji Xuan took it respectfully, his eyes scanning the paper quickly. All the information was true and accurate, including his astonishing spirit ring configuration.

He looked up with a hint of inquiry in his eyes. "Master, my spirit rings..."

Qian Daoliu's expression was indifferent, but his tone was unquestionable. "No need to hide it. Since it will be exposed sooner or later, it is better to show it openly."

Qian Daoliu paused and continued: "Rest assured, with Master here, no one dares to touch you."

Could the seven old guys not protect one Ji Xuan?

Ji Xuan understood.

His Master wanted him to fully display his strength and intimidate his peers with a crushing posture.

Only in this way could he silence those who held dissenting opinions when he was appointed as the Saint later.

"Disciple understands." Ji Xuan put away the admission form, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

...

The next day.

Ji Xuan stood in front of the main gate of Spirit Hall Academy, looking up at the magnificent academy before him.

The towering courtyard walls were built from solid white jade stone, emitting a lustrous sheen under the sunlight.

The arched main gate of the academy was ten zhang high, with a lifelike Seraphim statue standing on each side.

"Stop!"

Two guards in silver armor blocked Ji Xuan.

Their gazes were sharp as they looked Ji Xuan up and down. He wasn't wearing the Spirit Academy badge, so naturally, they had to stop him.

"Non-academy students are not allowed to enter."

"I am here to enroll."

Ji Xuan's expression was calm. He brushed his right hand over his Spirit storage ring, took out the admission form Qian Daoliu had prepared for him, and handed it over.

The guard on the left took the form, and after checking it carefully, his pupils suddenly contracted!

It clearly stated Ji Xuan's detailed information:

[Name: Ji Xuan, Gender: Male, Age: Eight years old, Spirit: Sword of Order, Soul Power: Level 23, spirit ring configuration: First spirit ring 1600 years / Second spirit ring 5800 years.]

"This... how is this possible!!"

This kid in front of them was only eight years old, and he was already Level 23! And... what the hell was his spirit ring configuration!

Both the first and second spirit rings were thousand-year spirit rings?!

Wasn't the best spirit ring configuration recognized by the Spirit World Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black...?

"What is it?" The other guard noticed something unusual, leaned in to inspect it, and also gasped. "This...!!"

The two repeatedly confirmed the Spirit Academy seal on the form, and after confirming it was correct, they returned it with trembling hands.

"Forgive... forgive our rudeness, please enter!"

Such shocking talent must be the descendant of some big shot in Spirit Hall; they absolutely dared not offend him easily.

At the same time, they were also a bit puzzled; there didn't seem to be anyone with the surname Ji among the top brass...

Qian Daoliu had never publicized Ji Xuan's existence, and only a few elders and Bibi Dong knew his identity.

These two guards naturally did not know.

"No matter."

Ji Xuan calmly took the admission form and stepped through the gates of Spirit Hall Academy.
