75: Room ownership, comprehending sword intent

The burly young man looked at Su Yun, who had suddenly appeared before him, and said disdainfully:

"You're fast, but it's useless. I am at the Nascent Soul Third Layer Realm!

A Golden Core Fourth Layer kid like you having the guts to attack me... I'll give you credit for your courage.

Unfortunately, you're about to be killed by me in a single move!"

A ten-zhang-high grey fist phantom appeared over his fist.

The fist phantom tore through the air, emitting a booming explosion as it attacked Su Yun.

In contrast, only a faint reddish-purple fist light appeared on Su Yun's fist.

"I've been annoyed by that Golden Core kid for a while now. I wanted to go up and teach him a lesson, but someone beat me to it!"

"That kid is finished. Even I would find it hard to block that attack."

"How can this be?"

"This is impossible!"

"That kid actually shattered the fist phantom?"

The dozen or so Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators watching from the sidelines all widened their eyes.

When the giant fist phantom collided with Su Yun's fist, the phantom shattered instantly.

Su Yun's fist continued its assault toward the burly young man.

"He's finished!"

Lu Siqi looked at the back of the burly young man.

In his heart, he had already predicted the burly young man's fate.

Daring to make a move against Su Yun—he truly had a death wish.

But it's only been a few days; has Su Yun grown stronger again?

It seems I should try to get closer to Su Yun in the future.

"You have some skill, but I am a Body Tempering Cultivator. You want to fight me in close combat?"

"Rock-Crushing Continuous Strike!"

Seeing his fist phantom broken, the burly young man immediately changed his technique, his dual fists blurring into countless fist shadows.

The fist shadows were incredibly fast, creating sharp sonic booms in the air.

Facing such a fierce offensive, Su Yun didn't panic at all. His fist, coated in reddish-purple spiritual light, smashed directly into the burly young man's fist.

*Crack!*

The burly young man's expression changed drastically as his hand was instantly pulverized by Su Yun.

"Impossible!"

"How could my tempered physical body be broken in an instant!"

Before he could think further, Su Yun's fist slammed into his body, the powerful force shattering every bone in his frame.

Even the Nascent Soul inside his body began to crack.

"Spare me...!"

Before he could finish his sentence, his entire body was engulfed in reddish-purple flames and instantly turned to ash.

"You actually dared to kill our Senior Brother!"

"Everyone, attack together! Take him down!"

Four Nascent Soul Cultivators rushed forward, all of them at the nascent soul second layer.

"Frost Heavy Punch!"

"Afterimage Spirit-Breaking Kick!"

"Wild Flame Palm!"

"Rock-Crushing Sky-Piercing Palm!"

"All Body Cultivators?"

Su Yun flickered and appeared near them again. This time, he intended to use a newly comprehended Spell.

"Fear Ocular Technique!"

Colorless ripples radiated from his pupils, directly enveloping the four people.

The four men's attacks were instantly interrupted.

They all wore expressions of pure terror, their pupils losing focus as they instantly lost their ability to fight.

"The effect is decent, but it probably won't be very useful against those protagonists."

Su Yun flickered in front of them one by one, finishing them each with a single punch.

Su Yun never held back against those who wanted to kill him.

As for whether the Taixuan Holy Land would punish him, they certainly wouldn't.

Because these people weren't technically Disciples of the Holy Land yet.

He had killed several Sword Control Sect Disciples on the way, and no one from the Taixuan Holy Land had intervened.

This meant they tacitly allowed fighting between Disciples of Affiliated Sects; it was also a form of testing.

"Yuyao, let's go into the room!"

Su Yun flashed back to An Yuyao's side, took her jade-like hand, and said calmly.

"Mm-hmm!"

An Yuyao looked at Su Yun with a face full of admiration and followed him into the room with light steps.

"Too terrifying!"

"Good thing we didn't make a move!"

"How can this kid be so powerful? He doesn't seem like a Disciple from an Affiliated Sect; he's more like a Genius from a Cultivation Family.

Could he have intentionally gone to a small Sect for experience?"

"Keep it down. We'd better avoid him from now on. He probably heard what we said about him earlier!"

The dozen or so Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators fearfully chose rooms far away from Su Yun's.

"Su Yun, you've become stronger again!"

Mu Wanning's breathing became rapid, and her waterfall-like black hair faintly turned a pale purple.

Recalling the blood-boiling feeling of her last duel with Su Yun...

She was already impatient to fight Su Yun once more.

Su Yun's strength was now quite a bit higher than hers.

But that's what made it a challenge.

Afterward, Mu Wanning picked the room next to Su Yun's to stay in... Inside the room.

Su Yun took out a silver-white stone.

"Su Yun, what is this?"

An Yuyao widened her eyes, looking at the stone curiously.

She could sense a powerful Aura faintly radiating from within the stone.

"A sword intent stone!"

After saying this, Su Yun placed the sword intent stone in his palm and began to sense the Sword Intent within.

Suddenly, an image appeared in his mind.

A middle-aged man in white robes, holding a longsword, gave a casual swing.

A Sword Qi several hundred zhang long appeared, tearing a large hole in space.

Su Yun felt as if he had become that Sword Qi, unstoppable and capable of cutting through everything.

At this moment, his Sun Sword Body activated automatically, and the Sun Sword Qi within his body suddenly surged in intensity.

A powerful will radiated from the Sun Sword Qi.

"So this is Sword Intent?"

Su Yun raised his hand and released a small strand of Sword Qi. The Sword Qi emitted a powerful pressure, as if it wanted to pierce through all things.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for comprehending Sword Intent and successfully entering the path of the Sword Dao.

The following Realms are Sword Domain and Sword World.

When the Host comprehends a portion of the Sword Dao Law, Sword Intent will upgrade to a Sword Domain.

When the Host fully comprehends the Sword Dao Law, the Sword Domain will upgrade to a Sword World.]

"So strong. Before, Sword Qi was just a pure spiritual energy attack, but now it carries a mental will attack as well."

Su Yun sensed the Sun Sword Qi within his body and found that its power had increased at least tenfold.

If his Sword Intent were to strengthen further, its power would rise again.

*Crack!*

The sword intent stone in Su Yun's hand shattered, its light growing dim.

"Su Yun, you actually comprehended Sword Intent!"

An Yuyao looked at Su Yun with pure adoration.

As far as she knew, generally only those in the Nascent Soul Realm could comprehend Sword Intent.

This was because the Mental Energy of someone below the Nascent Soul Realm was insufficient to bear the pressure of comprehending Sword Intent.

And even in the Nascent Soul Realm, one needed exceptional Sword Dao Comprehension Ability to grasp it.

"It was just good luck."

Su Yun gave a modest smile.

"Let's start our Cultivation!"

"Okay!"

...Several days later.

Second Layer of Taixuan Realm.

Su Yun and the others received a gathering order and arrived at the Holy Land's Core Disciple area plaza.

By this time, a large number of Taixuan Holy Land ordinary Disciples and Affiliated Sect Disciples had already gathered in the plaza.

"It looks like many people were eliminated in the first round!"

An Yuyao looked at the Disciples from the Affiliated Sects with some surprise.

When the assessment began, over a hundred people had participated.

Now, only forty-some people had passed the first test.

At that moment, a luxuriously decorated spirit boat passed over the crowd and landed at the entrance to the Third Layer of the Taixuan Realm.

When the spirit boat's door opened, an arrogant-looking young man stepped out.

"This is?"

Su Yun's attention instantly shifted to that arrogant young man.
