39: Chapter 39 Fierce Battle! [Ten Thousand Swords Return to One] VS [Threefold Return to Primordial Qi]!

Standing in the clouds, [Changyou] raised its claws upward at this moment,

Three forces of flowing water, mist, and ice particles were rotating around its body.

The three forces spun endlessly around [Changyou]'s palms, getting faster and faster,

and finally turning into a blue-and-white energy sphere.

By the time the mighty torrent of azure flying swords flew close, that blue-and-white sphere had been rolled up to the size of a normal person.

Seeing that thick sphere of light and the familiar movement, how could Sun Po possibly not know what skill this was?

" [Three Points Return to Origin Qi]!! Can this monkey really rely on Water Control to roll out [Three Points Return to Origin Qi]? That's too exaggerated!!"

Others might not know, but Sun Po knew.

[Three Points Return to Origin Qi] was the signature ultimate technique of Xiongba from the wuxia comic "Wind and Cloud",

integrating the three ultimate skills: [Frost Fist], [Cloud-Splitting Palm], and [Wind God's Kick] into one.

Legend has it that it took the icy chill of [Frost Fist], the might and majesty of [Cloud-Splitting Palm], and the swiftness of [Wind God's Kick],

capturing the true meaning of the three elements returning to one to acquire this divine skill.

Although it ultimately lost to the combined Moko Wu Liang of Wind and Cloud in the series,

this divine skill was still considered among the top tier in the show.

How a [Changyou] that only knew Water Control managed to fiddle out three different types of vital energy was beyond Sun Po's knowledge.

Moreover, the effect of this variant-colored version of [Three Points Return to Origin Qi] was also quite good,

firmly blocking the dense torrent of blue flying swords.

The huge energy sphere enveloped [Changyou]'s entire body,

and the group of flying swords completely failed to break through it, shattering inch by inch instead.

For a moment, blue light debris splattered and flew everywhere in front of [Changyou], looking quite magnificent.

Xu Xiu also grew more and more alarmed the more she fought.

"What kind of monster did this Sun Po actually create?

My Xu Family's ancestors have fought against [Changyou] for over a thousand years,

why has it never been recorded that any [Changyou] possessed such ability?"

Xu Xiu could not help but be alarmed; the [Changyou] recorded by her ancestors

merely relied on the physique and speed of the [Desolate Beast Species] to battle the Xu Family.

As for matters like Water Control, it was nothing more than spitting some water arrows and water bombs,

and at most, when near water, the spat-out water arrows would be faster and more numerous, and the water bombs larger and denser.

This monster's strongest ability was near water, where it could stir up raging winds and waves and cause flash floods.

But under the Xu Family's [Water-Severing], which could split currents, it didn't pose much of a threat.

The most headache-inducing part of this [Changyou] was that it was slippery, knew how to run away,

and possessed an abnormally keen perception of weather and danger,

knowing how to court good fortune and avoid misfortune, making it very hard to kill.

To say that this [Changyou] had such strong frontal combat capability?

Xu Xiu wouldn't believe it even if she were beaten to death.

But right now, she had no choice but to believe it.

First, this [Changyou]'s skill power was astonishingly huge,

and her [Water-Severing] sword cut ordinary currents like cutting thin paper,

but cutting the currents summoned by this [Changyou] felt unusually sluggish and hindered.

It seemed as if even [Water-Severing] itself was unwilling to attack these currents and [Changyou].

Secondly, there were the skills.

Ever since she let this [Changyou] fight with all its might,

this [Changyou] first spat out the volume of a small lake,

forcefully creating an environment with water for itself.

At the same time, it formed strange hand incantations, summoning dark clouds and causing it to rain.

This trick was something Xu Xiu had only seen in the hands of those official Heavenly Generals.

This was already absurd enough,

and what was even more absurd was that the raindrops falling from these dark clouds were actually extremely fast in speed and astonishing in power.

If not for the Heaven-Piercing Sword Curtain passed down by her family learning, she really wouldn't know how to handle it easily.

The most absurd thing of all was that those were at least somewhat related to water,

but what on earth was this energy sphere now that exuded a magnificent and mighty aura?

Had she known that a single sentence of hers could stimulate four or five skills out of this monkey,

Xu Xiu would never have acted so cocky.

Down below at the bottom of the water, Sun Po leisurely watched the sky.

Sigh, you sword cultivators are just too arrogant.

My little cub has blind spots in knowledge that even I can't understand,

and yet you claim to know how much it weighs? Talk about talking big without fear of biting your tongue.

...

But to say Xu Xiu only had this much ability would also be underestimating the true value of the Xu Family's specialized [Changyou]-killing skills.

I saw that the shattered fragments of the flying swords did not just disappear like that,

but quietly turned into tiny aqua-blue light specks, converging once again onto the [Heart Sword] in Xu Xiu's hand.

As all the flying swords shattered completely, the aura emanating from the [Heart Sword] grew even more terrifying.

Looking from afar, the [Heart Sword] at this moment had transformed into a terrifying existence over forty meters long, shining like a blue sun.

"Holy cow! I actually got to live to see the second half of [Return of Ten Thousand Swords]! This isn't power a high schooler should possess, right?"

"The momentum of this sword pretty much vindicates the Xu Family as the number one family in Gaoping City."

"This is a true major family! How can a lifetime of fortuitous encounters compare to someone else's accumulation over ten generations!"

The audience had been boiling with excitement since just now, discussing crazily.

But there were also viewers supporting Sun Po.

"Challenging numerous noble families with the status of a commoner and remaining undefeated, decisive in killing, and immensely powerful!! So what if he fails!? I'm a fan!!"

"This [Changyou]'s Water Control level is almost comparable to the top contestants in the University Students Tournament!!

Mazu must have been at this level of Water Control when she was young!!"

"Shut your mouth, how dare you casually mention the taboo name of a Titled Card Maker!?"

Realizing his slip of the tongue, that person quickly quieted down.

Of course, it wasn't just the audience that was boiling; the major noble families and officials had also begun quietly taking action.

Inside an office within the Card Association,

"No matter what, once the match ends, show the utmost sincerity and immediately invite this Sun Po to the Card Association for a chat."

Inside the private box above the venue,

the head of the Lu Family patted his son's bandage-wrapped shoulder.

"You and Sun Po can be considered friends after a fight; why not invite him over to the house for a visit after the match?"

Lu Shan made a bitter face:

"Dad, I was almost kicked into extinction by a family-ending kick myself,

and he beat me up like this, what makes you think we became friends through a fight?"

The Lu Family head showed a thoughtful look, a sharp light suddenly flashing in his fierce tiger-like eyes.

"That's easy! Later I'll have you carried down and let him give you a family-ending kick too~"

"No way!! Dad!!"

Meanwhile, the head of the Hu Family had terrifying light flashing in his eyes,

lightly licking his red lips as if he had seen some thrilling prey,

and calmly glanced at the daughter behind him with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.

A new commoner genius,

holding an unknown, extremely powerful, brand-new Card Maker sequence in his hands.

Such temptation was enough to make people go crazy,

and even without subsequent advancement sequences, it was still enough to make people's hearts flutter.

If it were the combat power [Changyou] displayed earlier,

then most noble families would only sigh at a lucky kid.

Towards such an ordinary purple card, small families might be tempted, but it couldn't compare to the conditions offered by universities.

Major families would find it tasteless like chicken ribs because without complete low-end sequences and advancement sequences,

a single card alone couldn't change anything.

But currently, this [Changyou] had already used at least five powerful skills.

What concept was this?

It could be said that the combat power [Changyou] had displayed so far made it almost the strongest purple card in Gaoping City.

If any family or force could obtain such a Card Maker sequence,

it would not just be a card, but a banner.

Everyone believed that if not for the suppression of [Water-Severing] and the truly terrifying talent of Xu Xiu's [Heart Sword],

Sun Po might even have won.

Although this match would be lost, [Changyou]'s strength was already visible to the naked eye.

Yet no one believed Sun Po would win.

The Lu Family head in the private box was already urging:

"Alright! Son! The second half of [Return of Ten Thousand Swords] is out, this monkey can't block it, hurry down and line up! See if you can invite him back."

Lu Shan, covered in bandages, was on the verge of tears.

Who on earth is the biological son here!!

...

The Heavenly Generals by the side of the arena had increased to two, with the Heavenly General of the Second High School principal coming to reinforce.

Seeing this giant energy sword over forty meters long, radiating terrifying fluctuations,

the two Heavenly Generals also wore solemn expressions, silently reinforcing the protective shield of the spectator stands.

Afterwards, amidst the gaze of everyone,

the huge blue light sword crashed down with a booming sound.

...
