“Have you really made up your mind?” Lan Lang asked again.
“Mm!” Qin Chuan raised his head, his eyes filled with determination.
“Excellent. You have a backbone and guts.”
Lan Lang produced two identical swords from his storage ring.
“Here’s your sword. Get familiar with it,” said Lan Lang, waving his finger. A long sword floated before Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan gripped the hilt. It felt a little heavy.
However, the moment he held the sword, Qin Chuan knew that this sword was extraordinary.
Lan Lang said, “This sword is crafted using Primordial Chaos Black Iron and some rare materials. Even though it doesn’t have any runic patterns engraved on it, nor does it have an artifact spirit, it’s stronger than most immortal artifacts.
“Lonce used this sword to destroy more than five demon immortal artifacts.
“If you satisfy me during the test today, I will bestow this sword to you.”
Qin Chuan gripped the hilt of his sword with both hands and bowed. “I will definitely give it my all.”
Qin Chuan wasn’t particularly fond of the Sword Dao, but to be honest, he had taken a fancy to this sword.
If such an outstanding sword were to be equipped with an artifact spirit and a few array formations, the power it could unleash would be unimaginable.
“Then work hard! I look forward to your performance,” said Lan Lang with a smile.
With that, Bai Kongchen flicked his sleeves from the tall platform. Instantly, the space in the hall crumbled like shattered glass.
However, the fragmented space quickly reformed into a new space.
The new space was full of life.
As far as the eye could see, there was a huge grassland. It was a flat plain with endless grass and a blue sky.
Looking at the changes in his surroundings, Qin Chuan was shocked. He couldn’t help but exclaim, “It seems like the Great Elder’s comprehension of the Law of Space has reached a profound level.”
At this time, Lan Lang hugged his longsword. “Rascal, try your best to defeat me! I won’t go easy on you.”
Asharp aura erupted from his body.
When looked at from afar, he was like a sword that stood towering between the heavens and the earth, and it aroused reverence in the hearts of all.
“Is this the might of a Sword Dao expert? He sure is powerful.”
Qin Chuan looked straight at Lan Lang, not backing down in the slightest. The fighting spirit in his eyes burned brighter and brighter.
Qin Chuan could feel his blood surging.
He hadn’t felt this way in a long time.
He was also looking forward to the upcoming battle.
“Let’s begin!” said Great Elder Bai Kongchen coolly.
‘As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Chuan took the lead in launching an attack.
Like an arrow released from a bow, he moved with astonishing speed, leaving a series of afterimages in his wake.
If observed with the naked eye, it would be impossible to capture his movements.
Opposite him, Lan Lang’s expression remained unchanged. There was not a hint of emotion in his eyes.
“His speed is passable, let’s check his sword techniques.”
Lan Lang made a brief comment, and in the next moment, Qin Chuan’’s sword appeared before his face.
If it had been anyone else, they would have died.
However, Lan Lang was no ordinary person; he twisted his body slightly to the side and dodged the attack.
Qin Chuan knew that his opponent would definitely be able to dodge his attack and had long planned his next move.
Using the momentum from his earlier swing, he turned around and struck again.
At such a close distance, it was impossible for Lan Lang to dodge as calmly as he did earlier.
Still, it wasn’t hard for him.
Lan Lang flashed forward, moving much faster than Qin Chuan’s sword.
His attack missed again, but Qin Chuan wasn’t discouraged. Instead, his fighting spirit was growing.
“Fellow, if you don’t show us some real strength, we’ll call it a day!” said Lan Lang, his voice tinged with disappointment.
‘An expert in Sword Dao like him could tell whether his opponent was strong or weak the moment his opponent unsheathed his sword.
In his eyes, the two moves that Qin Chuan had executed earlier couldn’t be considered to be bad, but they weren’t considered average.
Therefore, he was rather disappointed.
If it weren’t for Qin Chuan’s mastery of the Law of Gravity, he probably wouldn’t even have bothered to glance at Qin Chuan.
‘There were many disciples in the sect who possessed movement techniques like his.
Qin Chuan understood his intentions.
“Looks like I really have to come up with something!”
Qin Chuan crossed his sword before his chest, closed his eyes, and opened them again.
Instantly, his body erupted with a sharp aura.
His eyes seemed to contain two sharp arrows, and his piercing gaze broke through the air, causing the air around him to buzz.
At this moment, Lan Lang’s expression changed. “Sword Soul? I didn’t expect this kid to have concealed himself so well.”
“Elder Lan, I’m going to get serious.” Qin Chuan’s aura was changing drastically.
He raised his sword with one hand and pointed it at Lan Lang.
Lan Lang smiled disdainfully but still did not unsheathe his sword.
“This is my first time using Wang Zhixing’s Sword Soul, so I should warm-up and familiarize myself with it.
Qin Chuan wasn’t in a hurry to make a move. Instead, he was quickly digesting Wang Zhixing’s understanding of the Sword Dao and his cultivation.
Some time ago, Qin Chuan’s main body had upgraded the sect.
Anew function had emerged.
Qin Chuan could inherit the abilities of all the disciples in the register, including Souls, nomological law, divine arts, dharmic balls, and so on.
In other words, whatever his disciples had, Qin Chuan also had.
However, this function could only be used three times a day; any more could only be exchanged with general points.
Similarly, his clone also had the ability of his main body.
This was the first time Qin Chuan had used the function, and he wasn’t used to it at first. However, after a few breaths, he got a sense of it.
Before long, Qin Chuan made his move again.
With a swift step, he appeared before Lan Lang in a flash of light.
This time, his speed was many times faster than before.
Lan Lang’s expression changed visibly.
With his current cultivation realm, which was the same as Qin Chuan’s, it would be difficult for him to dodge such an attack.
Hum!
With a flash of sword light, the sword beam arrived before the sword did.
The piercing sword beam was like the fangs of a venomous snake, filled with danger.
Lan Lang immediately drew his sword and held it horizontally in front of his chest. Instantly, the sword beam struck the blade, producing a loud sound.
In the next moment, Qin Chuan’s sword collided with Lan Lang’s.
Lan Lang felt a sharp pain in his thumb and index finger, and his arm went numb from the impact.
“What strength!”
Lan Lang fixed his gaze on Qin Chuan, instantly changing his views.
“Elder Lan, what do you think of this move?” asked Qin Chuan with a pleased smile.
Lan Lang said, “In the same cultivation realm, there aren’t many who can force me to draw my sword. However, it’s not enough for me to acknowledge them!”
With that, Lan Lang circulated his cultivation method. With a flick of his wrist, the long sword in his hand began to vibrate, emitting a dragon-like cry.
‘The sword in Qin Chuan’s hand was also trembling violently, as though trying to break free from his grasp.
Faced with Lan Lang’s counterattack, Qin Chuan clenched his longsword tightly, showing no signs of backing down.
“all unnecessary techniques are futile before absolute power.”
Qin Chuan drew a deep breath, and his entire body expanded like a balloon. His arms were as thick as tree trunks, and with a forceful push, Lan Lang instantly shifted backward.
Seeing this, everyone was shocked.
Even Lan Lang found it hard to believe.
“What terrifying power. He’s even stronger than an ordinary Heaven Immortal.
Looks like this kid has also cultivated his physical body. A Sword Soul and a body cultivator is indeed quite a threat. Looks like I have to show him something! ”
Lan Lang took a few steps back, deciding not to clash head-on with Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan didn’t give chase.
He knew that the most challenging part was about to come..
