Chapter 345: Sword Glint And Tranquil Night Breeze
Translator: TYZ Editor: X/TYZ
To beco a true Master, one must fulfill two conditions. The first condition was to reach the Three Elental Realm. The second condition was to create an absolute art. These two conditions were mandatory.
After one attained elental externalization, he or she would have to focus on controlling and channelling elental energy from the natural environnt. Elentalists that had attained elental externalization must first learn how to control the elental energy of their base type. For example, Ai Hui, who was a tal elentalist, could control the tal elental energy in the wind or the scattered tal elental energy in the ground.
As an elentalist’s control over elental energy improved, not only could he control the elental energy of his base type, he could also draw and convert other types of elental energy that engendered his base type.
For example, after Ai Hui had increased his base level, he could draw and convert earth elental energy into tal elental energy, thereby strengthening himself.
Duanmu Huanghun’s [Perennial Lock] made use of this logic as well. He drew water elental energy from the ground to nourish his own wood elental energy.
This was also known as the Two Elental Realm.
After attaining Two Elental Realm, an elentalist could eventually draw one more elental energy type to strengthen himself. This was the Three Elental Realm. For example, if Ai Hui reached the Three Elental Realm, he could draw and convert fire elental energy and earth elental energy into tal elental energy.
The ability to draw and utilize all five types of elental energy was the mark of a Grandmaster. Dai Gang, a Grandmaster, was surrounded by only wood elental energy.
The unique characteristic of Three Elental Realm was the reason why it beca one of the two necessary conditions for becoming a Master. When an elentalist reached the Three Elental Realm, he was no longer restrained by the cycle of the five elents.
If Ai Hui was to attain the Three Elental Realm, he would be able to control fire, earth, and tal elental energies. In the past, fire elental energy happened to be the bane of his tal elental energy. As such, if he attained the Three Elental Realm, he would no longer be restrained by fire elental energy. This also implied that his control over natural elental energies had reached a new level.
Reaching Three Elental Realm allowed one to be filled with vigorous elental energy. The inheritances that everyone practiced were focused on where this vigorous elental energy could be used and applied. Inheritances could display an elentalist’s level of understanding toward elental energy as well.
The ability to create an absolute art indicated a deep and unique understanding that an elentalist had toward elental energy.
An absolute art was a way for one to exhibit the "path" he chose to embark on.
It was hard to determine the strength of an individual who was below the level of a Master. So people had a low elental energy level, but a strong comprehension of elental energy. On the contrary, there were other people whose strength could easily be determined just by engaging them in battle.
Right now, there was an unknown number of eyes looking from the shadows at the ongoing war in Karakorum.
Fire Crow was an infamous villain As such, his fighting capabilities were obviously powerful. Having achieved the Three Elental Realm allowed him to launch his attacks continuously. Nonetheless, even though Jiu Gui was only at Two Elental Realm, he did not show any sign of being in a disadvantageous position against Fire Crow. He had an abnormally deep understanding ofs elental energy. His moves were extraordinary and transcended worldliness.
anwhile, the mysterious-looking cloaked man was actually a transfigured earth elentalist!
Very soon, Hua Kui could feel the pressure from the cloaked man. His opponent could transform his body at will. Furthermore, his body was made up of an unknown material that gave it imnse strength as well as the ability to turn invisible and vanish into thin air.
If not for the traps that Hua Kui had put in the potted plants, he would be in deep trouble. Even so, his current attacks were not really effective against the cloaked man. He had yet to discover the weakness of his opponent.
Both of them were in a deadlocked position.
anwhile, the battle between Prince and Ye Shuang was extrely dangerous and sent sparks and flas in all directions.
Both of them were fighting force with force.
Ye Shuang had been suppressed by Prince from the beginning of the battle. Now, he was slowly pulling back the battle. His sleeves were completely torn, revealing two muscular arms in the air. It was at this point in ti that the onlookers noticed a dragon tattoo on each of his arms. Suddenly, the dragon tattoos looked as if they ca to life. Their eyes gave off a faint glow that pulsated rhythmically.
The might of Ye Shuang’s golden wheels beca increasingly terrifying.
Prince behaved as if he had not even noticed what was going on with Ye Shuang. The golden-glowing hurricane around his body beca thicker and thicker.
The six individuals locked in combat were extrely powerful. Those who covertly watched the ongoing battles were shocked.
Out of the six combatants, they only recognized Fire Crow. They knew nothing about the remaining five.
The cloaked man was a transfigured earth elentalist. Transfigured elentalists were shunned individuals who lived in the dark. As such, there was nothing unusual about the cloaked man being unknown. As for Ye Shuang, one could tell that he was a rookie with a glance. Hence, it was also normal that not many people knew about him.
On the other hand, the three defenders of Karakorum were terrifyingly powerful. Their moves were weird and constantly changing. Most importantly, they had rich combat experience. After having been through countless battles, how was it possible that they were just so ordinary individuals?
However, none of the onlookers knew who these three people were. Those who were well-inford could only link these three with so fragnted information.
However, all the onlookers knew one thing for sure: Karakorum was not as weak as they thought.
A lot of people beca solemn as they thought of this, but no one had given up the hope of obtaining the ancient treasure.
Everyone knew that no matter how powerful Karakorum was, it still could not contend against the superpowers.
How many families had taken part in this struggle? Nobody knew the exact number, but they definitely knew that it was huge.
No matter how powerful Karakorum was, under such a situation, their mbers would be constantly exhausted and weakened. Eventually, they would reveal their vulnerability.
As long as they were patient and waited long enough, they would be able to strike out and reap the fruit of another’s hard work after Karakorum’s experts were eliminated. Everyone felt that they were the strongest hunter, that they would obtain the ultimate victory.
A shadow silently approached Xiao Shuren’s courtyard.
Suddenly, a streak of sword glint swiftly appeared. Its dazzling radiance illuminated the dark night in an instant.
A dazzling flash flew across the air as a human head flew up into the sky. After a mont, blood spurted into the air as a headless corpse fell heavily to the ground, twitching nonstop.
Everyone was stunned by the streak of sword glint.
They had never seen such a dazzling, sharp, and crisp sword glint before.
A long ti ago, swordsmanship had collapsed and was made irrelevant by the elental energy system.
It was only now that the sword glint reminded everyone of the incomparable glory of swordsn.
Was this true swordsmanship?
No one could clearly identify that sword move. Even Xiao Shuren, who was standing beside the Karakorum Savant, was dumbstruck and overwheld with shock. She was completely unable to see how the Karakorum Savant had unleashed her sword move.
The Karakorum Savant sheathed her sword. The veil on her face prevented anyone from seeing her expression, but it was obvious that her eyes were still as tranquil and calm as before.
It was at this point in ti that everyone rembered where they were right now.
"Karakorum..."
This na was a new face for the swordsmanship that used to command reverence and respect in the distant past.
Could it be that swordsmanship was on the rise again?
"Karakorum."
Those hidden onlookers muttered this word repeatedly, revealing fear and excitent on their faces.
Karakorum!
Fire Crow was the first one to turn around and retreat. He had no confidence in withstanding that previous sword move.
The cloaked man did not hesitate to escape either. He transford into a cloudy sandstorm and flew across the air. After flying several hundred ters away from Karakorum, he turned back into his original form and vanished into thin air in the blink of an eye.
After hesitating for a while, Ye Shuang clenched his teeth and turned around to escape as well.
The concealed onlookers scurried back to where they ca from like a bunch of rats.
The Hua Kui trio looked at each other. They could see the astonishnt in each other’s eyes. The Karakorum Savant’s amazing sword move had left an unforgettable mory in their heads. They had not expected such an intense battle to end in this fashion.
The battle arrived abruptly and ended abruptly as well. Peace and tranquility returned to the Karakorum Sword League once again.
At this mont, the creaking sound of a door opening could be clearly heard in the quiet Karakorum Sword League.
Everyone turned around at the sa ti.
The door to the courtyard was pushed open, and Ai Hui stood at the doorstep looking absent-minded. His body wobbled, looking as if he could be blown away by a gust of wind at anyti. With a blank look on his face, he surveyed his surroundings. Clearly, he had not returned to his senses after delving into the world of swordsmanship.
After a while, his eyes slowly regained their focus.
"Eh? What happened? How did things beco like this? Why did you demolish the floor and walls for nothing?"
Ai Hui looked surprised by the Karakorum Sword League that had changed beyond recognition. Everything was ssed up with debris everywhere. A few lone figures stood nearby.
"Eh? Hua Kui, why are you here? Oh? Are you waiting for ? Has the mission started? Are these two your assistants?"
Ai Hui suddenly realized what was going on.
Hua Kui remained silent as his face turned extrely grave.
Jiu Gui coughed softly, walked to Hua Kui, and patted his shoulder. "Hua Kui, your little fellow is rather interesting. He will have a bright future."
"Hua Kui, it’s okay. Your rating is very high."
The relationship between a ntor and a rookie was extrely tight. Usually, a rookie’s performance would have a direct impact on his or her ntor’s rating.
If a rookie perford really badly, his or her guide’s rating would be reduced.
After being teased by Prince and Jiu Gui, Hua Kui’s face turned even uglier.
However, he was a shrewd individual after all. He regained his composure after a while and asked calmly, "Did you fall asleep just now?"
"Ha, how could I fall asleep?" Ai Hui quickly shook his head. "I was too engrossed in reading a swordsmanship inheritance. Is the mission going to start soon?"
Hua Kui could not be bothered with him and replied expressionlessly, "Not yet."
"It seems that I ca out too early." Ai Hui let out a yawn. Since his body was on the verge of collapsing, he simply just sat his a** down on the ground.
"What progress have you made?" Hua Kui asked casually.
"Great progress. It’s truly amazing. I didn’t expect that swordsmanship could be used in such ways..." Ai Hui yawned incessantly. He had made huge progress and obtained a lot of revelations. Countless marvellous ideas were spinning in his head. Like a piece of knotted rope, he had a lot questions that he could not untangle. He vaguely rembered that he had a very daring and powerful idea, an idea that would shock everyone...
His brain processed slower and slower as sleepiness continuously seeped into him.
How could he be so tired after reading a swordsmanship inheritance for a while...
Before the fatigued Ai Hui could understand why, he fell into a deep sleep.
Apparently, he had not realized how many days and nights he had spent reading the swordsmanship inheritance. The continuous excitent and deep thinking had greatly exhausted his physical energy. In reality, his body was extrely weary.
Facing the sky, he sprawled on the floor and slept.
After a mont, his snores pervaded the tranquil night breeze, resembling the loud and rhythmic croaks of a frog in pond.
