Chapter 398: Liu Qianhuan vs Xuanyuan Cheng

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Under the eager gazes of all the students on the White Jade Plaza, Liu Qianhuan initiated the first attack.

Her six-feathered staff glowed with a brilliant light before materializing a rainbow beam of light which blasted toward Xuanyuan Cheng. Each of the seven streaks of light was imbued with the power equivalent to a full-force attack from a Spirit Nurturing Final Stage cultivator.

Xuanyuan Cheng’s expression remained calm as he stepped forward. His movements appeared slow and measured, but he managed to dodge the streaks of light through the use of an unfathomable movement technique. There was occasionally a streak of light or two that he couldn’t dodge, but they too were somehow refracted and shot off in different directions, leaving Xuanyuan Cheng unscathed.

Boom…

Explosions of energy erupted behind him, laying waste to a mountain in the distance and sending tremors through the ground below.

“Take care,” Xuanyuan Cheng cautioned lightly as he took a step forward, and his speed instantly transcended the speed of sound as he shot forth like a cannonball toward Liu Qianhuan, leaving a sonic boom in his wake.

Liu Qianhuan was in her young sorceress mode, so she immediately flew back in retreat to avoid a melee confrontation with Xuanyuan Cheng.

“Immortal Seal!” Xuanyuan Cheng grasped the air in Liu Qianhuan’s direction with his gloved left hand.

A series of semi-transparent gold chains suddenly appeared before flying toward Liu Qianhuan in an attempt to ensnare her. This was the special spell technique of the immortal tool Xuanyuan Cheng had purchased at the Shou Yang Tomb— Immortal-Sealing Gloves!

“Hoho! You little pervert, trying to use rope bondage on me, I see!” Liu Qianhuan twisted her body and blasted a pink Prismatic Barrier from her six-feathered staff, which shattered all the golden chains in the air.

However, during the split second in which she took to dispel the golden chains, Xuanyuan Cheng had already closed the gap and appeared right in front of Liu Qianhuan. He activated his Myriad Spirit Taichi sword technique to its fullest extent, and Liu Qianhuan suddenly had the feeling that she had been bogged down by a viscous swamp. The sinking sensation only strengthened with Xuanyuan Cheng’s approach, and she could no longer distance herself from her oncoming foe.

Sweat began to materialize in An Lin’s palms as he looked on from his hiding spot in the distance. He was internally screaming with all his might for Liu Qianhuan to use her sword, otherwise, his balls were going to disappear!

At this moment, Earth Immortal Cang Qing was standing in the air above the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks as the final combat capability judge.

He stroked his beard with an expression of approval as he looked down at Xuanyuan Cheng. “Student Xuanyuan Cheng’s Dao of Myriad Spirit Taichi has already merged with his intent realm. There’s a hint of ferocity and determination within the more subtle aspects of his sword techniques. He’s like a seasoned veteran on a battlefield and he’s surely not far away from Soul Formation Stage.”

At this moment, a spatial ripple suddenly appeared beside him.

A man with thick, bushy brows and a glorious mustache then appeared beside Earth Immortal Cang Qing. “I feel like Student Xuanyuan Cheng must have observed something in the mortal world which has helped him to attain enlightenment. There’s an explosive force hidden behind the subtle guise of his graceful sword techniques, almost like a hidden bomb that could explode at any moment.”

Earth Immortal Cang Qing immediately bowed with a respectful smile to the man who had just appeared beside him. “Vice-Principal Yu Hua, I didn’t expect you to come and spectate the battle.”

Vice-Principal Yu Hua smiled in reply. “I’m mainly here to see how our Soul Formation prodigy is doing, I hope he doesn’t disappoint me.”

He cast his gaze toward the tally sheet in Earth Immortal Cang Qing’s hands as he spoke and his eyes scoured for a certain name.

However, his face convulsed slightly when he caught sight of An Lin’s name on the list.

An Lin—Combat Capability: ???, Achievement: ???

“What… What’s the meaning of this?” Vice-Principal Yu Hua stuttered in shock.

“Student An Lin has yet to participate even in a single battle. Look over there, he’s hiding behind that rock right now.” Earth Immortal Cang Qing pointed toward a huge rock in the distance.

Vice-Principal Yu Hua became even more confused as he caught sight of An Lin. “What is he doing? With his strength, surely he doesn’t need to wait for an opportunity to strike. Isn’t he really into flexing? Why isn’t he battling to show off his strength?”

An Lin was the only Soul Formation Stage cultivator among all students and everyone had thought his number one spot was guaranteed. But who would have thought that he had yet to participate in even a single battle; this was extremely perplexing to all the onlookers.

Earth Immortal Cang Qing heaved a long, forlorn sigh. “Sigh, perhaps Student An Lin encountered some problems following his tribulation transcendence. We both know just how strange his tribulation was. Perhaps he’s now unable to battle for some reason due to a mishap that occurred during that process.”

Vice-Principal Yu Hua pondered over the issue for a moment and felt like that was very much a valid possibility. After all, none of the things that An Lin did could be considered as normal. Vice-Principal Yu Hua was beginning to get a little excited to see how things would progress from here.

Meanwhile, the battle between Xuanyuan Cheng and Liu Qianhuan had already reached its climax.

Liu Qianhuan had sustained many injuries and depleted a huge amount of vital energy as she stumbled back in retreat in the face of Xuanyuan Cheng’s relentless attacks.

Xuanyuan Cheng’s longsword glowed with a brilliant white light which only seemed to grow brighter as he formed a vast sealing formation around Liu Qianhuan, trapping her within to prevent her escape.

On the White Jade Plaza, most of the students had their attention focused on the battle between Liu Qianhuan and Xuanyuan Cheng, and all of them were in a heated discussion.

“Who would have thought that Xuanyuan Cheng would be able to gain the upper hand over Liu Qianhuan, his sword techniques are growing more and more powerful!”

“Sigh, I was initially hoping Classmate Liu Qianhuan would win some glory for us fifth-years, is she destined to fall to those third-year super prodigies in the end?”

“Xuanyuan Cheng is only at Spirit Nurturing Final Stage, but Liu Qianhuan is already at Half-Step Soul Formation Stage. How could she be beaten like by him, I can’t accept this…”

“It’s not really even a surprise anymore. Think about how many people with a superior cultivation base that God An has defeated in the past.”

“Hmm, you have point there, I feel much better now when I think about it that way!”

“What the hell are you feeling better about? The truth still hasn’t changed; us fifth years are still being dominated by those third-year freaks…”



A series of powerful white sword projections swept through the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks, slashing through everything in their path.

Liu Qianhuan continued to move quickly through the air, dodging each of Xuanyuan Cheng’s attacks with great difficulty.

“Use your sword, Liu Qianhuan, there’s no need to go easy on me, I want to fight you at your full strength,” Xuanyuan Cheng spoke calmly as he rained down sword projections on Liu Qianhuan.

Liu Qianhuan sighed in resignation as she looked at Xuanyuan Cheng’s determined expression. She then thought back to the agreement with An Lin, and she finally made up her mind.

Her storage ring flashed and a blue longsword appeared in her hand.

A crisp ringing reverberated through the air with the emergence of her Great Frost Sword!

It was at that moment as well that the entire heaven and earth was transformed into a world of snow and ice.

A series of blue streamers settled over Liu Qianhuan’s body as she stepped forward.

An aura of extreme cold radiated outward, creating a frosty domain.

All the students on the White Jade Plaza fell silent at the scenes unfolding before their eyes.

This was the first time they had seen Liu Qianhuan wield a sword aside from that one-off instance during the Dao Exchange Conference of the Four Powers.

The image of the beautiful woman standing proudly in a world of frost was etched deeply into their minds.

Even Vice-Principal Yu Hua was looking down at the battle taking place below him with a shocked expression. “Who would have thought that Student Liu Qianhuan’s domain would be a weather domain. If she’s able to use her domain to its fullest extent, she could transform heaven and earth through her power! As expected of the number one prodigy in the Heavenly Sword Sect, her Ancient Sword Dao Physique is truly fearsome! Sigh… It’s just a pity that she’s unwilling to embrace the way of the sword due to her past trauma… ”

“Alright, I’m about to show you my full strength!” Xuanyuan Cheng announced with a solemn expression. A brilliant white light began to burst forth from Xuanyuan Cheng’s white glove and the projection of the yin-yang image under his feet expanded to a radius of a hundred feet to keep the frosty aura around him at bay.

“Myriad Spirit Taichi, True Sun Slash!” A powerful golden light suddenly began to burst forth from Xuanyuan Cheng’s longsword which instantly pierced through the clouds and fractured the enchantment in the sky above.

“Violent Snow!” Liu Qianhuan wielded her Great Frost Sword and slashed it through the air as snow and ice surged in a spectacular display behind her!

The golden light descended upon Liu Qianhuan, bringing with it the power of the sun as it crashed through the snow and melted away the ice.

A vast expanse of snow obscured the entire sky as the power of extreme cold clashed with the golden light, transforming heaven and earth into a world of white and gold!
