Chapter 41 Emperor Jing Yuan, strategizing and winning battles from afar!
In Ning Fengzhi's view, although Yanqing seemed to be extraordinary, he was too young and was probably a junior who had come out to gain experience.
However.
The next second.
Clang!
A clear, resonant sword cry echoed through the sky.
Yanqing didn't say much, and drew his sword half an inch from its sheath.
In an instant.
An indescribable sharpness soared into the sky.
The surrounding air seemed to be cut into countless fragments under this sword energy, emitting a faint hissing sound.
This is not a suppression of soul power, but a pure realm of swordsmanship.
Ning Fengzhi's expression changed drastically, and he involuntarily took two steps back.
"What a terrifying sharpness!"
"Who exactly is this young man? How can someone so young possess such sword intent?"
Chen Xin, who was the first to be affected, felt it most intensely.
His previously calm expression vanished completely, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity.
In that moment of confusion, his right hand even trembled slightly.
That was fear.
Fear stemming from the instinct of kendo.
"How is this possible..."
A storm raged in Chen Xin's heart.
"There are actually sword masters like this on the continent?"
"I, Chen Xin, have devoted my life to the way of the sword, and I consider myself unparalleled in the world. Why have I never heard of this person before?"
"Faced with his sword intent, my Seven Kill Sword actually wailed, even..."
"It even made me lose the courage to draw my sword?"
The moment this thought crossed Chen Xin's mind, he was startled.
He is a Title Douluo, the Sword Douluo with the strongest attack power.
How could someone not even dare to draw their sword when facing a young boy?
Yanqing looked at Chen Xin, his eyes shining even brighter, like a hunter's joy at seeing his prey.
"Draw your sword!"
"Let me see just how the pinnacle of swordsmanship in this world is different!"
The boy's voice was clear and bright, full of indomitable spirit.
Under the pressure of this imposing aura, Chen Xin took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the absurd fear in his heart.
His pride as a swordsman wouldn't allow him to back down.
Chen Xin adjusted his breathing, his soul power surged, and the Seven Kill Sword slowly appeared in his hand.
"Good."
"Since you have such an interest..."
"I would be delighted to fight you!"
Chen Xin tightened his grip on the sword, and the Seven Kill Domain instantly opened.
This time, he no longer regarded the other party as a teenager, but as a mortal enemy.
...
Tianshui Academy, by Xiangsi Lake.
A golden beam of light pierced through the clouds and precisely enveloped a blue-haired girl.
That's a reward from the Heavenly Ranking.
As the light entered her body, Shui Bing'er's aura rose steadily, making her already aloof temperament even more sacred and inviolable.
However, the light faded.
Shui Bing'er looked at the list in her hand, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"I'm only eleventh?"
Her tone was tinged with confusion, and even a hint of grievance.
"Although this Martial Soul Ranking is not simply ranked according to the strength of the Martial Soul, it places more emphasis on the individual's development and understanding of the Martial Soul."
"But the quality of the martial soul is absolutely of paramount importance."
Shui Bing'er raised her hand, and in her palm, a miniature ice phoenix spread its wings as if about to take flight, radiating extreme cold.
"This is the ultimate ice phoenix that Master Jing Yuan helped me evolve; it is a true ultimate martial soul."
"In terms of attributes, I have reached the pinnacle."
"Those who rank ahead of me either possess twin martial souls or are true god-level martial souls."
"Even if there are hidden talents on the continent, it's impossible for ten monsters like this to suddenly appear, right?"
Shui Bing'er was exceptionally intelligent and quickly figured out the key point.
She turned her head to look towards the distant north, in the direction of the Luofu Immortal Ship.
"All problems can only arise from the master."
"Master is the owner of the Luofu Immortal Ship. Even he is only ranked second. There must be other experts on the Luofu Immortal Ship."
"Many of those ranked ahead are probably my master's people."
Thinking of that white-haired figure who always had a faint smile and looked somewhat lazy, a trace of longing flashed in Shui Bing'er's eyes.
"Unfortunately, my master always told me to hide my identity."
"If it weren't for the exposure of the sky screen this time, I wouldn't have known that my master had such a great background."
Shui Bing'er sighed, gazing at the calm lake surface, and murmured to herself:
"Master, you're on the list now."
Why haven't you come to find me yet?
...
In the far north, in a courtyard.
The sun was shining brightly, and the breeze was gentle.
A comfortable rocking chair sits in the center of the courtyard, and a white-haired man lies on it.
It was Jing Yuan who stirred up the storm across the entire continent.
At this moment, he closed his eyes, his expression serene, as if all the noise and commotion outside had nothing to do with him.
Suddenly.
Achoo!
Jing Yuan suddenly sneezed, instantly shattering his aloof and otherworldly demeanor.
The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress, who were standing by, quickly came over.
The Ice Empress looked tense, her emerald green eyes filled with concern:
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
"Is it because the extreme cold of the far north is too strong and has harmed your body?"
The Snow Empress was even more attentive, reaching out to try and detect Jing Yuan's aura.
"With the Emperor's strength, he is already immune to heat and cold, so why would he suddenly sneeze?"
"Could it be that there's been a problem with my cultivation?"
Jing Yuan waved his hand, rubbed his nose, and lay back down in the rocking chair.
He lazily rolled over, finding a more comfortable position.
"It's alright."
"It must be that guy Fu Xuan who's cursing me."
Jing Yuan's lips curled into a helpless smile.
"She's a person with high aspirations."
"She's probably complaining right now that I'm being lazy, leaving her to work hard all by herself outside."
The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress exchanged a glance, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.
In their eyes, this emperor was indeed... quite idle.
Since arriving in the far north, aside from occasionally giving them a few pointers, he had spent most of his time in this rocking chair.
Sometimes he even slept for a whole day without opening his eyes.
Seemingly sensing the two women's thoughts, Jing Yuan closed his eyes and whispered:
"How could Fu Xuan possibly know?"
"Although I appear to be slacking off, I am jokingly called the 'Blind General'."
"But actually..."
Jing Yuan's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest, the rhythm steady and melodious.
"Everything that happens on this continent is within my divine strategy."
"From the standoff at Jialing Pass to the turmoil in Heaven Dou City, and even the tremors in the Star Dou Forest."
"All variables were within expectations."
The wind blew through the courtyard, stirring up a few snowflakes.
Jing Yuan's voice was soft, yet it exuded a confidence that allowed him to control the universe.
"Without leaving home, one can strategize and plan."
"Winning battles from a thousand miles away."
...
In the far north, the snowstorm has temporarily subsided.
The Ice Empress craned her long neck, her gaze fixed on the golden sky, her emerald eyes filled with astonishment.
"Eleventh on the Martial Soul Ranking, the Ultimate Ice Phoenix, whose master is Shui Bing'er?"
She turned to look at the Snow Empress beside her, her voice full of surprise.
"Sister, I've also heard of Shui Bing'er. She's that little girl from Tianshui Academy. She's talented, but I've never heard of her having such good fortune."
