“Stellar Sword Technique!”
Chu Feng roared as the longsword in his hand slashed downward, and a terrifying sword aura burst forth with his movement.
The sheer horror of that sword aura was felt even by the students seated in the stands.
It was as if their skin were being sliced open, stinging sharply.
Some students who practiced sword techniques were deeply shaken when they sensed that astonishing sword aura.
“Chu Feng has already comprehended Great Accomplishment Sword Intent!”
Sword Intent was divided into Subtle, Minor Accomplishment, Great Accomplishment, and Sword Heart.
Subtle meant one had just entered the realm of Sword Intent. Being able to produce visible sword radiance counted as Subtle Sword Intent.
Minor Accomplishment Sword Intent allowed one to condense sword aura and slash it outward up to 20 meters without it dispersing.
Great Accomplishment Sword Intent meant that once it reached that level, a single glance could make others feel as though a blade had pierced their skin. If the owner of Great Accomplishment Sword Intent possessed the strength of a 9th stage Grandmaster, then with just one look, they could kill lower-level martial artists.
There was even a saying circulating in the martial world: Whoever comprehended Great Accomplishment Sword Intent before entering the 7th stage Grandmaster Realm would surely reach the 9th stage Grandmaster Realm, and perhaps even have hope of becoming a Martial Saint!
“My heavens! So Chu Feng had been hiding so much strength?”
“With Great Accomplishment Sword Intent unleashed, even someone at the Late 7th stage wouldn’t dare take it head-on!”
“Su Yu is bound to lose!”
As Chu Feng revealed his Great Accomplishment Sword Intent, everyone was once again shaken beyond words.
They were witnessing the rise of a true monster.
Comprehending Great Accomplishment Sword Intent before becoming a Grandmaster meant that a position among future Grandmasters was guaranteed for him.
Terrifying.
While the ordinary students marveled in shock, those self-proclaimed geniuses from noble families stared at Chu Feng’s figure, radiant like a bright moon, their expressions extremely complicated.
This single strike shattered the pride they held as heirs of powerful families.
They enjoyed cultivation resources others could hardly imagine, yet they had been outshone by a student from an ordinary background.
The faint arrogance in their hearts was crushed.
“He’s too strong!”
“In terms of talent alone, he may not be inferior to Ye Qing. But if everything is considered, Ye Qing… is not Chu Feng’s equal!”
“It seems Young Master Su will definitely lose this challenge.”
Everyone whispered among themselves.
They all favored Chu Feng, this rising supreme genius. No one believed Su Yu could withstand this sword.
So what if one had extraordinary talent?
In the face of absolute strength, what use was talent?
Perhaps… if Su Yu cultivated seriously, he might have the chance to exchange a few moves with Chu Feng, maybe even win.
But not now.
Even Ye Lianxing, who trusted Su Yu deeply, felt waves of worry rise in her heart when she saw the sword aura that made her heart tremble.
“Brother Yu…” Ye Lianxing quietly clenched her small hand inside her sleeve, her breathtakingly beautiful face filled with anxiety.
But now… this was not the future.
He had not yet risen.
And the man on stage had defeated even her proud older brother…
In a corner of the arena, Lin Panxi, who had been watching the battle intently, saw Chu Feng standing in midair above Su Yu.
Her heart began pounding violently.
“Chu Feng, I knew you could do it. Defeat Su Yu, that despicable man. From now on, let’s see who still dares to look down on you,” Lin Panxi thought, excitement surging in her phoenix-like eyes.
At the same time, she recalled what Chu Feng had once said to her during their heartfelt conversation, and the words he had declared on stage earlier.
‘I can’t leave Panxi!’
She knew that she had probably… already fallen for Chu Feng.
Long ago, she had sworn that her partner must be a man who stood at the pinnacle of martial arts.
The current Chu Feng… had that ability.
Step on Su Yu’s head and climb, step by step, to the peak of Dragon Nation’s martial world!
…
“This sword technique, I found it in the cave dwelling of a fallen powerhouse. It’s an Earth-tier martial skill. Combined with my extraordinary mental power and my Sword Intent, Su Yu, you cannot block it!”
Chu Feng’s eyes were filled with excitement.
His great revenge would finally be avenged!
Although he knew that this strike looked fatal, killing was forbidden within Capital Martial University.
Grandmasters were guarding nearby.
Once they sensed a student was no match and in life-threatening danger, they would intervene to resolve the crisis.
Su Yu did not bother explaining himself in response to Chu Feng’s words.
A flash of light streaked across.
An icy long blade appeared in his hand. Looking at the descending Stellar sword aura from the sky, Su Yu’s lips curled slightly. “I have a bad habit…”
“I don’t like anyone standing above my head.”
Facing the overwhelming Martial pressure of that sword aura, Su Yu showed no panic.
Instead, he calmly raised his weapon.
He slowly held the blood-colored long blade horizontally, as if gathering strength for his own attack.
Seeing this, Chu Feng sneered inwardly. “Still trying to resist? Ridiculous!”
“This attack may look like pure sword aura, but hidden within it is a mental attack. Even if you somehow block the sword aura, without 3,000 Hertz of mental power, you cannot withstand the mental assault!”
Mental power was the most difficult aspect for martial artists to cultivate, and it was also the key to advancing to the 8th stage Golden Body Realm.
The reason was simple: there was no orthodox method to cultivate mental power.
And 3,000 Hertz of mental power was something even ordinary 7th stage Grandmasters did not possess. What could Su Yu possibly use to block it?
Thinking of this, Chu Feng spoke calmly, “Su Yu, admit defeat. With your strength, you cannot withstand this att—”
Before he could finish, Su Yu interrupted coldly, “Noisy.”
As Su Yu’s indifferent voice rang out, the blood-colored long blade he held horizontally suddenly slashed forward.
“Hmph, stubborn fool. With just you, how dare you—gah!”
Chu Feng had intended to mock him, but when Su Yu unleashed that slash, his eyes widened violently.
“Impossible!”
Before he could finish speaking, the terrifying blade aura shattered Chu Feng’s Stellar sword aura at lightning speed.
Boom!
Even the mental attack hidden within the sword aura was crushed!
Chu Feng stood there in complete shock.
Not just him.
The entire arena fell into dead silence. Everyone froze in place.
How was this possible…
Chu Feng’s attack was one that even newly advanced 7th stage Grandmasters would not dare confront head-on. How could Su Yu block it?
Half a month ago, Su Yu had only tested at the early 5th stage!
Could it be… Su Yu had also been hiding his strength?
Before they could think it through, Su Yu’s voice rang out from the dueling platform.
“Your attack is too flashy and far too slow.”
“Next, I’ll teach you what a true killing strike looks like.”
As his words fell, everyone jolted back to their senses. When they saw Su Yu slash out again at incredible speed, faces throughout the arena changed drastically.
Even the instructors and leaders secretly observing the match were horrified.
On the stage, Su Yu raised the blood-colored blade, narrowed his eyes, and glanced at Chu Feng, who was still suspended in midair. A faint smile flickered in his eyes.
“I told you. I don’t like anyone standing above my head.”
“I will use only one move. If you can withstand it, I, Su Yu, will withdraw from the Su Family!”
With a light shout, Su Yu swung the blood-colored blade toward Chu Feng in the air.
The moment the blade fell, the entire space turned silent.
In the next instant, a sound like shattering glass rang in everyone’s ears.
Crack! Crack!
Space itself split open with visible fractures!
Even the entire area dimmed.
“Heaven Slaughter!”
