Chapter 1016: Battle at Heavenly Sword Peak
The battle between Fang Shushu and the disciples of Sky-reaching Peak did not last long.
By the time the disciples of Sky-reaching Peak had fully set up their formation.
The Martial Soul book of Fang Shushu had already depicted dozens of massive demon beasts at the level of Infinite Sacred Realm.
When the dozens of gigantic creatures appeared, the disciples of Sky-reaching Peak were left with only panic in their eyes, even forgetting to trigger the formation they had set up.
After a series of intense tremors on the ground, Fang Shushu withdrew his Martial Soul.
The towering trees, and the giant demon beasts, all dissipated.
In front, the disciples of Sky-reaching Peak were already in disarray, nearly injured.
"Tsk tsk." Fang Shushu's face was relaxed, "Sky-reaching Peak disciples, just so-so."
Fang Shushu said this to the Sky-reaching Peak disciple, but his eyes glanced at the Sky-reaching Peak Steward.
Anyone with keen eyes could see that Fang Shushu was actually addressing the Sky-reaching Peak Steward with his words.
The Sky-reaching Peak Steward's face darkened, about to reprimand.
The steward who had spoken earlier, however, hurried to say, "Well, this Fang Shushu bears the Seven Apertures Vein, and our Tianxuan Peak encompasses everything, it's better for him to join our Tianxuan Peak."
Apparently, this steward belongs to Tianxuan Peak.
As for the Seven Apertures Vein, Xiao Yi had heard of it.
This is also a kind of Bloodline Power.
It is said that humans have six apertures, but those with the Seven Apertures Vein have one extra aperture.
Those with this bloodline, upon awakening, already possess the ability to be erudite and remember everything they see.
As awakening progresses, this ability becomes stronger, eventually enabling multitasking, from two tasks to three, and so on.
When completely mastering this bloodline, the bearer achieves the terrifying extent of handling seven tasks simultaneously.
Handling seven tasks simultaneously sounds ordinary.
However, you must know, for many martial artists, managing two tasks or three tasks is already the limit.
But for Fang Shushu, whether it is Martial Arts comprehension or learning new Martial Arts Knowledge, it operates like having seven minds simultaneously comprehending and learning.
For Fang Shushu, whether it's the intricate formation depiction or the flow of Primordial Power, he often understands it at a glance when learning, fully memorizing it.
When truly depicting it, his multitasking ability gives him an exceedingly fast depiction speed.
If not mistaken, Fang Shushu must have had an ancestor who was a Supreme Expert in the entire Central Region, extraordinarily brilliant.
Moreover, although this ancestor's cultivation was diverse, they mastered everything.
At this moment, Fang Shushu had returned to the group of Heavenly Talents.
"Impressive." Xiao Yi praised sincerely.
Xiao Yi's admiration was heartfelt.
Not just because of Fang Shushu's Seven Apertures Vein.
As he knew, using Formation Power to conjure demon beasts is not simple.
Just now, Fang Shushu not only depicted the formation rapidly, but the blend with the Martial Soul and the perfect control and flow of Primordial Power were major factors.
Even without the Seven Apertures Vein, Fang Shushu achieving this was truly admirable.
"Not bad." Fang Shushu smiled, "Next, let's see your performance."
"Alright." Xiao Yi shrugged, took a step forward.
"Next, I challenge..."
Before Xiao Yi could finish speaking, the Sky-reaching Peak Steward sneered.
"Hold on, kid."
"Does the elder have something?" Xiao Yi queried suspiciously.
"Ha." The Sky-reaching Peak Steward smiled playfully, "I know what you want to do."
"Want to challenge my Sky-reaching Peak disciples, right?"
"Heh, no wonder you have such confidence with your mere High Grade Third Class comprehensive evaluation."
"Fang Shushu is your friend, right? He injures my Sky-reaching Peak disciples; then you challenge them to pass easily, is that it?"
"I..." Xiao Yi furrowed his brows.
The Sky-reaching Peak Steward coldly interrupted, "You can give up this idea."
With that, the Sky-reaching Peak Steward lifted a finger, sending an Elixir flying toward the injured Sky-reaching Peak disciple.
Then, he loudly proclaimed, "The examination must proceed under fairness, I will first provide the Elixir, to let my Sky-reaching Peak disciple heal before proceeding."
Everyone's gaze fell on Xiao Yi, seemingly wanting to see what Xiao Yi planned after his 'scheme' fell through.
Xiao Yi shook his head without paying attention, stepped forward again, looking at the Heavenly Sword Peak disciple, "What I want to challenge is the Heavenly Sword Peak disciple."
"What?" The surrounding crowd was shocked.
"Challenging the Heavenly Sword Peak disciple? Is this boy giving up, abandoning this examination?" Each steward frowned.
Sword Dao Practitioners are famously the strongest in one-on-one battles.
And within Heavenly Sword Peak, all are Sword Dao Geniuses.
Heavenly Sword Peak's disciples are almost the most difficult to deal with among these 12 disciples.
At this time, the Heavenly Sword Peak disciple stepped forward, staring straight at Xiao Yi.
Those sharp eyes, like sword edges, seemed to pierce through everything.
His straight figure, like a towering sharp sword.
"Xiao Yi, isn't it? I knew you would choose me."
"Why?" Xiao Yi was not afraid of that sharp gaze, he asked.
"Simple, because you are also a Sword Dao Practitioner." The Heavenly Sword Peak disciple said in a deep voice.
"Your eyes, your aura, they are overwhelmingly sharp."
"This is the aura only possessed by a true Sword Heart-surprising Sword Dao Practitioner."
"Heh, make your move then." Xiao Yi said lightly.
Boom...
Two distinctly different, yet equally amazingly sharp auras suddenly erupted on the pair. '
Both figures remained still, but the astonishing auras already clashed.
From afar, a steward squinted his eyes, staring directly at Xiao Yi.
"Impressive, truly impressive."
"What?" The Sky-reaching Peak Steward questioned, looking at this steward.
This steward continued to stare at Xiao Yi, "Is this boy named Xiao Yi?"
"Earlier, he seemed ordinary when not yet making a move, but once he did, he proved extraordinary."
"Each of them only Heavenly Extreme Fourth Layer." The Sky-reaching Peak Steward scoffed, "The Heavenly Sword Peak Steward is excessively praising."
This steward was indeed the Heavenly Sword Peak Steward, a strong Sword Dao Expert.
"No." The Heavenly Sword Peak Steward shook his head, "I'll leave aside Cultivation for now."
"Such pure Sword Intent and solid Sword Heart."
"If my observations are correct, this boy is a rare Sword Seed."
"If properly refined, he will definitely become sharp one day."
"Humph." The Sky-reaching Peak Steward coldly huffed, "Let him pass this examination first."
From afar.
Xiao Yi and the Heavenly Sword Peak disciple were still unmoving.
Yet in the high skies, the sharp auras clashed intensely.
The piercing screech sound instantly resounded throughout the venue.
The surging aura more resembled Sword Qi forms.
The confrontation between Sword Qi seemed to shred everything in the high skies.
"Draw your sword." The Heavenly Sword Peak disciple suddenly held out a sharp sword.
It was a Sub-Saint Artifact.
Xiao Yi nodded, a flash of light appeared in his hand, and the Blizzard Sword materialized.
"A top-grade Elemental Artifact?" The Heavenly Sword Peak disciple sensed the sword's aura in Xiao Yi's hand, frowning.
"Enough to handle the battle." Xiao Yi responded indifferently.
