Double Cultivation
their true potential
After giving their greetings, each sect returned to the edge of the stage before they sent their first fighters.
A while later, the Divine Sword Sect sent out disciples at the peak of the True Spirit Realm.
"Who wants to fight first?" Liu Lanzhi asked them.
"Oh! Me! Let me feel their swords first, Master!" Disciple Jin Xi immediately raised his hand.
Liu Lanzhi looked at him and nodded. "Be careful, your opponent is not only three stages above you, but his Profound Qi is extremely thick for someone at his level. He most likely had the same strength as someone who had just entered the Earth Spirit Realm."
Jin Xi nodded with a serious expression.
However, just as Jin Xi was preparing to enter the stage, Su Yang spoke, "Wait a moment."
Su Yang then approached her and gave her a gentle knock on her forehead.
Jin Xi suddenly felt as if something was being released within his body, and a powerful energy was growing in his aura.
"I have removed your barrier. Go with the wild." Su Yang said to her with a smile.
Jin Xi showed a wide smile and nodded happily, "I won't let you down!"
As soon as Jin Xi stepped onto the stage, Liu Lanzhi asked Su Yang, "What did you just do to him? How did his Profound Qi suddenly grow stronger?"
"I didn't mention this, but the disciples hadn't used their full strength before, because I had limited their Dantian" Su Yang said, revealing this shocking information to him.
"What ?! You mean to tell me that they have been fighting with only a portion of their potential all along ?! Why did you limit their strength?" liu Lanzhi was surprised.
Dumbfounded could not even describe what Liu Lanzhi was feeling at this moment.
"You'll understand in a moment. It wouldn't be nice if they dominated all the games easily, would they?" said Su Yang smilingly.
Liu Lanzhi did not immediately respond and turned to look at Jin Xi instead.
"Are you two ready?" Zi Dong asked them after both sides had fighters on stage.
Jin Xi and the young man in front of him nodded.
"Alright, the first match for the semifinals begins!" Zi Dong waved his hand before retreating to the end of the stage.
As the match began, the young man from the Divine Sword Sect roared, causing his aura to sharpen like a sword blade.
"Is that Sword Intent?!" The audience was shocked when they sensed the sharp aura of the young man, almost like they were looking at a swordsman.
"However, even if it's a fake, it's quite impressive, because not just anyone can replicate the sword intent, and you can say that he has a deep understanding of the sword."
The true experts there gave their insight.
" I'll have to reward you for getting this far, but this is as far as you're going." The Divine Sword Sect disciple pointed his sword at Jin Xi, who was standing there quietly.
"Indeed, even I could never have imagined that I would come this far before." Jin Xi spoke with a smile on his face.
"However, I must disagree with you on one thing – that this is our goal. Not only will we defeat you, but we will also defeat the Blue Cloud Sect and become champions" Jin Xi said.
The young man burst into laughter after hearing his words and said, "You want to defeat us? Although you might have an impressive cultivation base, that's all you have, and it won't be enough to defeat us!"
Jin Xi suddenly held a sword by his side and said, "Although we don't have much experience in real combat, it's not that difficult, we have fought many times with a swordsman – enough to deal with people like you."
"Haha! A swordsman? Just because one can wield a sword, it doesn't make them a swordsman!" The young man snorted in disdain.
"Speak as you please. Just because they were called swordsmen it didn't really make them into swordsmen!" Jin Xi drew his sword.
As he unsheathed his sword, Jin Xi's aura shot up into the sky and sharpened like a blade, making it seem as if his entire body was turning into a sword.
"I-It's – impossible!" When the Divine Sword Sect disciple realized that it was the Sword Intent emanating from Jin Xi's body, his legs trembled and he fell to the floor.
"That's the real Sword Intent ?! How could ?!"
Not only were the disciples of the Divine Sword Sect, even the others were confused by this situation.
"What's going on? How could he have Sword Intent?" Elder Zhong's entire body trembled in shock and disbelief at this moment.
"It's really unexpected ..." Even Lord Xie couldn't understand the situation. "I couldn't sense the Sword Intent from him before this, yet he was suddenly able to emit Sword Intent. What the hell is going on?"
"S-S-S-S Who! What's going on ?! Why would he suddenly be able to use Sword Intent ?! I don't remember the Blossom Sect having any sword techniques other than Flower Art, and understanding enough sword arts to make Sword Intent with Mortal grade techniques impossible! " Liu Lanzhi said to him.
"Hm? Oh, I teach them a thing or two about swords whenever we don't cultivate Doubles." Su Yang casually responded.
"Eh? A-Does this mean they can all unleash Sword Intent?" Liu Lanzhi looked at the other disciples with wide eyes.
"Of course." Su Yang nodded. "Only have I sealed his Sword Intent within their current Dantian, so you won't be able to sense it."
"Lu-Outstanding .." Liu Lanzhi did not know what to think about this and could only accept reality for what it was.
