Chapter 88, Second Trial: The True Power of Sword Intent

  Ahh!

  The polar bear's angry roar, after chasing for so long, still didn't catch up.

  After the roar, the ice bear surprisingly stopped, Wang Chen turned his head back, seemingly deep in thought, then lifted his head up, and at that moment a whirlpool was rapidly forming above.

  Snowflakes swirled around, transforming into glittering ice blades that emitted a sharp aura. In an instant, thousands of ice blades formed a majestic ice blade vortex!

  Even in the midst of the whirlpool, the roar of the ice bear could be faintly heard!

  Roar of Ice!

  The polar bear stepped on the ground with both feet, its head held high. The roar that came from the ice howl was actually in harmony with the polar bear's roar, and the momentum was even more astonishing!

  The moment he saw the ice blade, Wang Chen realized something was off and his body rapidly retreated. However, the range of the icy howl was too large and its speed was extremely fast, leaving no room for evasion!

  Bang! Bang!

  Continuous sounds came from around Wang Chen's body, the ice knife cutting into Wang Chen's skin did not cause great harm, only the continuous ice knives gradually began to tear through Wang Chen's skin.

  After the icy howl, Wang Chen's body was already covered in scars and bloodstains! Although these were all external injuries that didn't affect anything, Wang Chen still felt his scalp go numb!

  "After the ice blade shattered, the ice fragments actually condensed on various parts of my body, which greatly reduced my speed. If I don't think of a way, I'm afraid it won't be long before the polar bear catches up!"

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, it didn't take long for Ice Bear to slap Wang Chen flying. Although this palm only caused Wang Chen some minor injuries, afterwards, Wang Chen was almost unable to fight back and could only be beaten by Wang Chen!

  "No way, at this rate, we can drag it out until time's up, but if we're not careful, we'll end up failing right here!"

  Wang Chen, who was blown away again, forced himself to calm down and think of a countermeasure. His physical strength couldn't compare with the Ice Bear's for now, and he couldn't temporarily increase it either; as for magic, forget about it! In this environment, fire-based magic would be weakened, and ice-based magic couldn't compare with the Ice Bear's Ice Roar. Moreover, no matter what type of magic, it couldn't break through the parallel defensive ice armor!

  Using the secret method of divine consciousness? That's a good idea, but unfortunately, this secret method is too precious and Wang Chen doesn't have it; using force to suppress it with magic power, forget it, magic power has always been Wang Chen's weakness!

  The aura of creation, still hasn't figured out its specific function, unreliable!

  All that's left is the sword intent! Sword intent is relatively the most likely to be improved, especially in this battle. If you can improve your sword intent, victory is almost certain!

  Having made up his mind, the Ice Spirit Sword flew out once again, leaving a trail of sword light as it charged forward.

  Wang Chen's eyes were slightly dull and he took a step back, his entire focus on the Ice Spirit Sword, to be precise, on the sword intent of the Ice Spirit Sword.

  Sword intent, to be precise, is divided into four layers. Wang Chen, Feng Wuji and another young man from the "Spirit Realm" are all in the first layer of sword intent, that is, they have just formed their sword intent and are relatively weak!

  The second layer is the Dao rhyme. The so-called Dao rhyme is to strengthen the atmosphere brought by the sword intent! For example, the killing sword intent, in order to enter the second layer, it is necessary to strengthen the atmosphere of killing, and the sharpness of the sword intent itself must be weakened, but the power of the sword intent will be strengthened instead.

  Similarly, Wang Chenjian's intention is to reach the second level of sword intention, he must strengthen his free and transcendent state of mind!

  However, there are also special ones, such as Feng Wuji's sword intent, which is not ordinary. If his sword intent were to be described, it would be "cutting", with nothing that cannot be cut by its sharpness! In other words, when Feng Wuji's sword intent reaches the second layer, it is equivalent to strengthening the sharpness of the sword intent!

  After that, when the sword intent takes another step forward, reaching the third layer of substance and the fourth layer of penetration, it's equivalent to infinitely strengthening the sharp effect. This special sword intent is very discerning about its good or bad quality, but one thing can be certain: Feng Wuji's sword intent will definitely become stronger and more terrifying in the future!

  Wang Chen's sword intent emphasizes transcendence. When his mind is fully immersed in the sword intent, Wang Chen has fewer constraints and entanglements, such as deliberately avoiding the ice bear's paw or hitting the same spot twice.

  It seems like a step backward! Because the attack effect is greatly weakened!

  But at the same time, without these, Wang Chen's Ice Spirit Sword seemed to have an extra hint of unusual charm! As if it were a fairy spirit wandering in the mortal world, freely giving off an extraordinary and transcendent aura!

  A flash of sword light, a burst of sword intent! The sword intent that struck the ice bear's icy armor again emitted a faintly transcendent aura, which suppressed the armor and shattered it in an instant. Moreover, it brought out a streak of blue blood on the ice bear's body!

  "Good, it really works!"

  Wang Chen saw this, restrained the joy in his heart, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to comprehending the transcendent sword intent. Even gradually, Wang Chen's eyes were already tightly closed, leaving only the icy spirit sword in the air, carrying the sword intent whistling everywhere!

  At this moment, the ice bear has lost its overbearing manner from earlier and is carefully dodging the flying ice spirit swords! And on the ice bear's body, there are already seven or eight wounds!

  Transcendence!

  Transcendence!

  Wang Chen doesn't know what transcendence is, even though his dream is to transcend everything! As for all things about transcendence, Wang Chen can only imagine and think of a state of transcendence.

  The transcendent aura on the Ice Spirit Sword grew thicker, and the wounds left on Bing Xiong's body became heavier. Finally, at a certain moment, the Ice Spirit Sword drew out a unique sword light!

  Just like a pool of clear water that is vague and elusive, visible but unreachable, distant, light, and leaving no trace.

  Plop!

  The sword light flashed, and the ice bear that was originally going to be killed in one hit suddenly disappeared, leaving only Wang Chen in space. However, just a few seconds later, Wang Chen's figure reappeared in the ancient mysterious palace!

  "If water flows away, it's clear and serene, yet distant! Let's call this move 'Flowing Away'!"

  Wang Chen muttered to himself, having come up with a name for the sword move he had just grasped that was both poetic and pretentious. After calming down, Wang Chen's mouth curled up into a thoughtful smile.

  "It seems that's indeed the case, the demonic beasts given to test the cultivators all come from a certain place in the Dragon Fall Valley. In the test, the cultivator is unable to kill the demonic beast, only when they have acquired the ability to kill it will the demonic beast be transmitted out, and the cultivator will pass! This special aura that awaits the demonic beasts can be understood, after all, the residual soul itself is a true dragon from the ancient times of the Immortal Realm, and also counts as a member of the demon tribe!"

  ……………………………………..

  Another space!

  Gao Xuan's mouth was murmuring with words, as if he was preparing some kind of magic spell. Beside him, there was a layer of solid protective shield. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a small-scale formation.

  Although the formation is small, its level is not low. The defensive power it forms is even more astonishing. A giant eagle flew down from outside the shield, but it only shook the shield a few times and couldn't do anything about it!

  A moment later, Gao Xuan's left hand flashed with lightning, while his right hand was a mysterious aura that contained the breath of the heavens and earth at their inception. The giant eagle beside him, seeing this situation, let out an uneasy cry and immediately flew into the high skies!

  "Want to run? Forced me to use my ultimate move! You still want to run? Too arrogant! Thunder God's Wrath, explode for me!"

  Gao Xuan's mouth let out a low hum, his two hands touched together, and the lightning merged with the mysterious Tai Xuan aura. Then, after containing the two tigers' lightning, it transformed into a bowl-sized ball of lightning that flew out like a single bolt of lightning.

  But just as they were about to make contact, the giant eagle vanished into thin air! Gao Xuan Ye also disappeared into space along with it.

  In another space, a young cultivator from the spiritual realm, just like Gao Xuan Ye, was flying non-stop in mid-air! Yes, he was flying non-stop. Logically speaking, Qi Refining stage cultivators should not be able to fly by controlling their instruments, although it's not ruled out that the spiritual realm has other magical instruments that can make Qi Refining stage cultivators fly, but the effect of flight would definitely be inferior to that of Foundation Building stage cultivators!

  But the flight performance of this proud young man was stunning, with rising and falling, spinning and dodging movements that were done nimbly and at will, as if on land!

  Behind the young man's back, two elliptical wings fluttered lightly. Every time they fluttered, the young man could move freely in mid-air!

  However, even so, young people only have the power to escape, and they are helpless against black bears that are extremely strong in ground defense!

  At last, the young man could no longer bear it and after dodging the black bear's projectiles once again, he flew high into the air.

  In the high air, the young man closed his eyes tightly, as if he was casting a spell. After a moment, a mysterious aura appeared on the young man's forehead, which also contained the breath of the beginning of heaven and earth. This aura was clearly different from the high-profile Ye and the sword-repairing youth from the "Spirit Realm", giving people a noble feeling at first glance!

  After the mysterious airflow appeared, two cyan wind blades appeared in front of the young man. After the wind blades appeared, the twin wings behind the young man dimmed a lot. Immediately afterwards, the mysterious airflow merged with the wind blades, and the heart-shaped wind blade charged towards the black bear demon beast on land with unbelievable power!

  The result was obvious, the black bear disappeared, and the arrogant young man passed the test!
