Chapter 440: Attention
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The aura of the five figures remained in the advanced Aperture Tempering realm. However, compared to the three individuals just now, their auras had risen significantly, and the number of opened acupoints was estimated to be around a hundred.
Having a hundred acupoints was already considered outstanding in the advanced Aperture Tempering realm. Those cultivation techniques that could open a hundred acupoints were considered top-notch.
The five figures moved swiftly, this time not dispersing but charging directly towards Chen Fei.
The Hidden Dragon and Young Phoenix Ranking, although not a living being, possessed its own wisdom. It could automatically adjust the fighting style of the defender based on the challenger’s combat methods.
The auras of the five individuals were interconnected, forming a formation beneath their feet, linking their strengths together.
This formation couldn’t directly stack their strengths; otherwise, even in a head-on clash, pinnacle Aperture Tempering realm experts might be sent flying by a single sword strike.
However, while it couldn’t enhance their maximum strength, when they were attacked, it allowed them to distribute the damage among each other. This formation couldn’t raise the limit of their strength, but it indirectly lowered the opponent’s power.
♦Crash!*
The Qianyuan Sword swung out, clashing with one of the individuals’ sword blades. In a muffled collision, the person’s body trembled and involuntarily took a few steps back, but that was all.
No severe injuries, not even spitting blood. A mere step back had dispersed the tremendous force behind the Qianyuan Sword, spreading it across the ground and the bodies of the other four individuals.
*Swooshl*
Four sword blades sliced through the air, targeting the vital points of Chen Fei’s body without distinction. Although the individuals’ auras had slightly dropped due to sharing the damage, it didn’t affect the rhythm of their attacks. Compared to the advanced Aperture Tempering realm, the pinnacle of the Aperture Tempering realm was much stronger due to the connection of a hundred and eight acupoints. However, in terms of defense, it hadn’t reached an exaggerated level.
If struck by such four simultaneous attacks, it was entirely impossible for a pinnacle Aperture Tempering realm expert to completely withstand the assault.
At best, one would suffer severe injuries, and at worst, it could result in instant death.
♦Boom!*
A loud explosion rang out, and before the four sword blades could get within a foot of Chen Fei’s body, they were intercepted by a black barrier that hung in mid-air. In the next moment, a sword formation enveloped all five individuals.
The Primordial Sword Formation!
The once Zhongyuan Sword Formation had undergone an upgrade, becoming the most powerful sword formation of the Primordial Sword Sect. The sword pearls had also disappeared, and within the Primordial Sword Formation, countless sword threads traversed, restraining all five individuals.
Chen Fei hadn’t even utilized the immense strength bestowed by the Suppressing Dragon Elephant at this moment. He was simply displaying the power of the Primordial Sword Scripture.
Chen Fei wanted to see what kind of power the Primordial Sword Scripture, the technique that had caused the founder of the Primordial Sword Sect to split it into seven separate inheritances due to concerns about the difficulty of its cultivation, possessed after reaching perfection.
In other places, finding a suitable opponent would likely require a bit of special fate However, now, within the Hidden Dragon and Young Phoenix Ranking, opponents were readily available, and they could adjust their combat styles at any time based on Chen Fei’s fighting style.
Opportunities like this were rare, and Chen Fei naturally wanted to comprehensively confirm the level of his various techniques now. He had a vague assessment of his abilities, but true combat was the ultimate test of correctness.
Inside the Primordial Sword Formation, the sword energy roared, and the power of each sword thread seemed to be capable of slicing through the void. Despite being five Aperture Tempering realm experts in the later stage, each of whom had opened around a hundred acupoints, they were currently confined within a certain range and unable to break free.
Moreover, because the Primordial Sword Formation suppressed the natural energy of the world and isolated other forces, the formation under their feet gradually dissipated after holding on for a moment.
Injuries started to appear on the bodies of the five individuals, but the power of the sword formation also began to waver.
Ultimately, even at the pinnacle of the Aperture Tempering realm, they were still within the realm of Aperture Tempering realm. The ability to trap five advanced Aperture Tempering realm experts with a single person’s power in a short period of time was already impressive.
Furthermore, combat wasn’t just about suppression and brute force. With the current situation, transforming it into a winning position was actually a straightforward task.
Chen Fei’s figure flickered, and he appeared in front of one of the individuals, thrusting his sword forward. In an instant, the power of the sword formation concentrated on the Qianyuan Sword.
The next moment, the Qianyuan Sword pierced through the person in front of him. Although the opponent attempted to resist, there was hardly any room to maneuver within the formation.
While the other four intended to take advantage of this opportunity to break the sword formation, they still lacked that tiny bit of strength, and that slight difference led to a completely different outcome.
The Qianyuan Sword in Chen Fei’s hand trembled slightly as the person in front of him burst into countless specks of light. Chen Fei’s figure flickered, and he appeared in front of another person.
just moments ago, all five of them couldn’t contend with the Primordial Sword Formation. Now, with only four individuals left within the formation, the outcome was evident.
Chen Fei continued this one-by-one, and in the blink of an eye, he had turned the remaining four individuals into points of light, disappearing from the martial arts arena.
The martial arts arena, which had been filled with the roaring of sword energy just moments ago, suddenly fell silent. A stream of Elemental Energy appeared in the air in front of Chen Fei, enveloping him, and at the same time, a message appeared in Chen Fei’s mind.
“Rest for an hour, or leave?1‘
Chen Fei’s expression twitched slightly. This treasure was quite intriguing, as it even had a mid-match rest period. The stream of Elemental Energy was meant to replenish depleted elemental energy.
In the eyes of the Hidden Dragon and Young Phoenix Ranking, it seemed that five advanced Aperture Tempering realm experts were roughly equivalent in strength to a pinnacle Aperture Tempering realm expert.
To defeat the five individuals, one’s cultivation technique had to be reasonably powerful, and the combat insight of the challenger had to be high enough. Otherwise, the previous match might have turned into a stalemate, and determining the winner or loser would have been quite challenging.
Chen Fei absorbed the Elemental Energy for a moment and then stopped because his Elemental Energy had fully recovered.
The previous battle hadn’t consumed much of Chen Fei’s energy. He had merely tested the power of the Primordial Sword Scripture.
He hadn’t used any of his other techniques.
According to Chen Fei’s estimation, after mastering the Primordial Sword Scripture, he would indeed be stronger than an ordinary pinnacle Aperture Tempering realm expert. Plus, the benefits it provided for breaking through to the Combined Aperture Tempering realm made it a worthy cultivation path despite its difficulty.
Of course, the prerequisite was having sufficient talent. Otherwise, if one’s talent was even slightly lacking, it might not be possible to reach the pinnacle of the Aperture Tempering realm even after a lifetime of practice.
Chen Fei waved his hand casually, dispersing the surrounding natural Elemental Energy and chose to continue with the challenge.
Chen Fei had a rough understanding of the power possessed by the Primordial Sword Scripture. What would come next was a test of how far Chen Fei could go on this ranking list with all his power unleashed.
The number of spirits absorbed by the treasure determined the position Chen Fei could reach on this ranking list. For this straightforward benefit alone, Chen Fei had to take this seriously; otherwise, he would be the one losing out.
The martial arts arena trembled slightly, and a figure appeared in front of Chen Fei. It was a complete circle, with a firm aura, indicating a pinnacle of the Aperture Tempering realm. From this moment on, Chen Fei’s opponent was someone of the same level.
Outside the Hidden Dragon and Young Phoenix Ranking.
The sky had darkened even more at this moment, with moonlight obscured by thin clouds. However, outside the Haiyan City, the atmosphere was still lively.
The Hidden Dragon and Young Phoenix Ranking would leave Haiyan City in two days, and it was uncertain when it would return. Many people who were relatively far from Haiyan City had finally arrived after receiving the news, joining the challenge. Those in the Body Tempering realm made up the majority of challengers since it only cost five low-grade elemental stones. Compared to the fifty elemental stones required for those in the Aperture Tempering realm, this cost was considered quite affordable. While many martial artists in the Body Tempering realm weren’t wealthy, they could still scrape together the required amount.
Besides the Body Tempering realm participants, there were fewer challengers in the Aperture Tempering realm, but in terms of absolute numbers, they were still significant.
The three-starred beast beneath the ranking stone was no longer as enthusiastic about consuming elemental stones. Occasionally, a few elemental stones would fall from its mouth, and it paid little attention to them.
From this behavior, it was evident that this three-starred beast had consumed quite a number of elemental stones recently, which had made it appear this sluggish.
“Someone has passed the second stage and is starting the third stage! Suddenly, someone pointed ahead and shouted.
“It’s the Big Ranking, a master of the Aperture Tempering realm.” A halo lit up on the Hidden Dragon and Young Phoenix Ranking, and within the halo, a faint figure could be seen.
“It’s the person from earlier.”
The figure within the halo emitted a subtle aura, and it was quickly identified as the same individual who had entered not long ago, Chen Fei.
After all, those in the pinnacle Aperture Tempering realm were the center of attention wherever they went. On the Hidden Dragon and Young Phoenix Ranking, among the top thirty names, only a few were from different realms, while the majority were experts in the pinnacle of the Aperture Tempering realm.
From this, it could be seen that those in the pinnacle of the Aperture Tempering realm had the best chance of breaking into the top thirty. Below the pinnacle of the Aperture Tempering realm, unless someone possessed extraordinary talent, they were often just accompanying runners.
However, in recent days, many pinnacle Aperture Tempering realm experts had come to the vicinity of Haiyan City, but none had entered the top thirty. Most of them had fallen short earlier in their attempts, which was regrettable. “To pass the third stage is the qualification to challenge the top thirty geniuses.”
“That person from earlier seemed a bit unfamiliar; I haven’t heard of his name.” Someone whispered.
There were many pinnacle Aperture Tempering realm experts in the vicinity of Haiyan City, so not every one of them was well-known. However, those in the pinnacle of the Aperture Tempering realm were the strongest under the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, so they did have some reputation. “The Precious Tempering Pavilion is opening up over there. Want to go and place a bet?”
“Let’s go. The person from earlier probably just recently broke through to the pinnacle of the Aperture Tempering realm. His strength might not be fully developed yet, and it’s hard to say if he can pass the third stage. We can place a bet.”
“That’s a reasonable point, but we can also take a gamble, betting that he can make it to the fourth stage. Maybe there will be a surprise.” “No, no. There aren’t that many places to take risks. Let’s play it safe.
As Chen Fei entered the third stage of the Hidden Dragon and Young Phoenix Ranking, the attention of the onlookers immediately shifted entirely to him. Yan Zesong stood not far away, observing the aura of Chen Fei on the Hidden Dragon and Young Phoenix Ranking, and his brow furrowed slightly..
