Chapter 450: Chapter 447: Xiyue Frost VS Yun Jiansong
Feng Hao looked around and saw many familiar faces in the seats ahead. Bai Yin and Xie Xiaoyu were not far away. Upon seeing Feng Hao, they slowly walked over.
"Are you here to cheer for Xiyue Frost?" Bai Yin said with a lovely smile, gracefully approaching him.
"Yeah." Feng Hao ruffled Yao Girl’s hair and nodded with a light chuckle. "She’s Yaoyao’s sister, after all. It would be wrong not to come."
"I thought you’d be too proud to watch the competition," Bai Yin said, her eyes full of meaning.
Feng Hao gave a wry laugh. Although he did have that thought, it wasn’t something he could say out loud. "Listen to you. Am I that arrogant? By the way, who eliminated you, Senior Sister Bai Yin?"
Bai Yin smiled faintly, her beautiful eyes glancing toward the stage. "Yun Jiansong, the heir of Blacklight."
Feng Hao said in surprise, "To be able to eliminate Senior Sister Bai Yin, it seems the Sun Sword Saint’s inheritance is truly extraordinary."
"Of course." Bai Yin pursed her lips into a light smile. "The Sun Sword Saint was a peerless genius in his time. His Sword Dao was a school of its own. He even defeated three of the Seven Swords of Thousand Blades Valley, leaving their legacy with only four of the original seven. However, it seems Thousand Blades Valley managed to recover the three lost sword legacies in Daoist Heaven and Earth recently."
"The Seven Sword Legacies?" Feng Hao froze for a moment, unable to stop himself from asking for more details.
Bai Yin nodded with a smile and explained, "The five great sects have been able to pass down their traditions for ages not just because of their [Inheritance Demon Patterns], but also because of numerous Secret Techniques and doctrinal legacies. The Seven Sword Legacies are the inheritances left behind by seven genius patriarchs in the history of Thousand Blades Valley."
"I see..." Feng Hao nodded in sudden understanding.
’It seems the five great sects really have some tricks up their sleeves. No wonder they’ve been able to maintain their absolute dominance.’
’In comparison, the Thief God Hall seems much more immature. Although it has five types of [Inheritance Demon Patterns] just like the great sects, it’s far behind when it comes to legacies from past masters.’
’There’s no helping it. The Thief God Hall was founded less than ten thousand years ago, while each of the five great sects has a history spanning hundreds of millions of years.’
’I wonder if the Thief God Hall has any legacies left by its predecessors. I’ll have to ask the Thief Master when I get back to the Grand Hall.’
As Feng Hao was lost in his thoughts, the match on the stage had already begun.
At the City Lord Zhong Yuntao’s command, the clamor of the crowd instantly ceased. Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the two figures on the stage, unwilling to miss a single detail.
At the same time, Xiyue Frost and Yun Jiansong moved in unison. In an instant, demonic light surged and Sword Qi swirled across the stage.
Yun Jiansong was as cold and proud as ever. The only difference was that when facing Xiyue Frost, a flicker of unprecedented seriousness appeared in his eyes.
VMMMM~!
The ring of a sword echoed across the arena as Yun Jiansong drew his blade. It was a longsword enveloped in a black halo. It looked like a Light Saber made by a new-school Artifact Refiner, yet it wasn’t one—it was bizarre.
Seeing Yun Jiansong’s weapon, Feng Hao was somewhat surprised, because Yun Jiansong had been using a weapon he had forged until now.
Seeing his surprised expression, Man Tiaotiao huffed lightly and explained, "That’s [Blacklight], the weapon the Sun Sword Saint used when he first became famous. It’s a Tier Seven Divine Spirit Longsword, and it’s been passed down to my Sword Song."
"Damn, so it’s the weapon the Sun Sword Saint himself used. No wonder it has such a powerful aura," Feng Hao clicked his tongue in amazement.
’As an Artifact Refiner specializing in forging, he knew all about the various abilities and characteristics of weapons. A weapon’s aura couldn’t be forged. It had to be nurtured through countless battles over long periods of time.’
’Moreover, the aura of this [Blacklight] was unique. It wasn’t the common killing intent, but an aura of unyielding resolve and unstoppable momentum!’
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
In the time it took to speak, Xiyue Frost and Yun Jiansong had already clashed, their battle a flurry of back-and-forth exchanges.
After having her talents grafted, Xiyue Frost’s strength was on a completely different level. Combined with the innate Frost Bloodline of the Xiyue Clan, her aura was just as unstoppable.
Her heavy sword swept out, causing ice crystals to bloom across the ground. Coupled with her Ice Domain, the stage was instantly transformed into a world of ice and snow.
Yun Jiansong’s attacks, on the other hand, appeared much plainer. There were almost no flashy energy effects, only faint streams of Sword Qi. That Sword Qi was dim and restrained, yet packed with power!
Furthermore, Yun Jiansong’s speed and Body Technique were incredibly graceful, and the transitions between his sword moves were seamless.
Countless ice crystals shattered into powder beneath his sword as he slashed toward Xiyue Frost with deadly intent.
But Xiyue Frost was no pushover. With a swing of her heavy sword, she kicked up waves of air. Boosted by her [Explosive Power] talent, her strength and speed doubled as she smashed her sword forward to meet his attack.
BOOM!
The sword lights collided with a deafening explosion, and Yun Jiansong was sent flying by the powerful impact.
There was nothing to be done. Xiyue Frost’s [Ice Domain] was a clear counter to melee Mages. As soon as they entered its range, their movement and attack speed would be drastically reduced.
Yun Jiansong clearly realized this and began to fight using wide-area Swordsmanship and long-range Sword Qi.
Xiyue Frost, however, pursued him relentlessly, like a ferocious, rampaging tiger.
For a time, the battle reached a stalemate.
But Yun Jiansong was Yun Jiansong, after all. His Swordsmanship was superb, and he was considerably faster than Xiyue Frost. Combined with the high damage from [Blacklight], he quickly forced Xiyue Frost’s health down.
However, Xiyue Frost had the [Bloodbath] talent; the lower her health, the higher her damage.
Coupled with the [Boiling Blood] talent that Feng Hao had grafted for her, she would gain an additional point of Life Force for every 100 points of Qi Blood she lost. This ensured her health could remain in a relatively stable state.
Soon, Xiyue Frost’s Berserker advantage began to show. With a burst of speed, she charged forward and leaped into the air, unleashing a [Vibrating Sword].
BANG!
Yun Jiansong dodged in a hurry, but he still lost over eight thousand Qi Blood from the [Vibrating Sword]’s shockwave.
What was even more terrifying was that the impact of the [Vibrating Sword] caused Yun Jiansong’s body to tremble for a split second. Xiyue Frost seized the opportunity, charging in close to envelop him within her [Ice Domain].
Ice crystals burst forth, sealing him in. Her heavy sword swung wildly, one strike after another, as if she had gone mad.
Yun Jiansong’s expression changed in alarm. Under the effects of the Ice Domain, his movement and attack speed had dropped significantly. In this situation, it was difficult to parry Xiyue Frost’s frenzied assault.
Instantly, Yun Jiansong began to retreat step by step, his Qi Blood plummeting.
Meanwhile, the crowd below was already screaming nonstop, roaring that the fight was incredible.
On Feng Hao’s side, Man Tiaotiao was already clenching her fists, pouting and muttering under her breath, "Honestly, Xiaoshuang! Can’t she go a little easier on him? A girl only gets one boyfriend, you know! If something happens to him, I’ll be a widow!"
"HEH HEH HEH, go, Sis, beat him up! Beat him up!" Xi Yueyao had a completely different reaction.
In contrast, Feng Hao and Bai Yin were much calmer, their eyes locked on the battle, not missing a single detail.
’She’s getting the hang of it quickly!’
’Feng Hao nodded to himself, very satisfied with Xiyue Frost’s performance. He had sparred with her right after helping her Graft her Talent Tree.’
’Back then, Xiyue Frost was still a bit clumsy and unnatural with her new abilities. But being tempered by this academy tournament had clearly allowed her to adapt to her new talents and power.’
