Chapter 370: A Hundred Swords Rain Down Like Stars!
Chapter 370: A Hundred Swords Rain Down Like Stars!
Silence.
The entire broadcasting studio and live streaming room were engulfed in stillness.
The chief commentator, Wang Luo, known for his expertise in livening up the atmosphere and never letting the conversation die, stood there with his mouth agape as he watched the live footage.
Silence.
All three of them remained silent.
Before this, Wang Luo had even considered and voiced the possibility that someone might surpass Su Ping and claim the top position after Yan Fan, Li Yao Yao, and many other Beastmaster students entered Dream Island, especially if the most valuable Dream Fog Stone remained undiscovered and unclaimed.
The answer they had received earlier was that it was entirely possible! It was crucial to understand that earning exam credits for acquiring resources was not as simple as pocketing them or storing them in one's Beastmaster space; it required placing the resources in the student's bracelet and ensuring a secure environment for the bracelet's scan to obtain the credits. Each resource could only be scanned for credits once.
The time required varied depending on the grade and rarity of the resource.
For an Imperial-grade Dream Fog Stone, it would take at least ten minutes, and maintaining its presence in Dream Island for ten minutes or more was indeed challenging.
Therefore, in their estimation, once Yan Fan, Li Yao Yao, and a large number of Beastmaster students entered Dream Island, if luck was on their side, there was a chance to obtain the Dream Fog Stone and surpass Su Ping's top position.
However, no matter how hard they racked their brains, they never imagined that the outcome would unfold like this! Moreover, what left everyone even more bewildered, even after exhausting all possibilities, was the scene unfolding in the first-person perspective and wide-angle satellite footage.
What the hell was that?
What on earth was it?
What were those things falling from the sky?
Was this young man truly planning to stop all the participating students single-handedly?
Despite the situation escalating to this point and the unbelievable scenes playing out in the live footage, many still found it hard to believe.
But the facts were undeniable.
In the footage, countless stars fell like rain, and each streak of light revealed a brightly glowing sword! But wasn't this a bit too much?
Indeed, at this moment, over a hundred swords were floating in the air, as seen from the live feed.
Logically, that was just an Overlord-rank Origami Figure, and the energy it channeled to control so many swords shouldn't be too powerful.
After all, energy is conserved.
Distributing energy in combat like this would naturally weaken the energy output and the resulting attack power, but the trade-off is a larger area of effect.
This was normal, considering the need to block so many Beastmasters single-handedly.
However, when the director finally regained his composure and used the live feed to test the power of one of the controlled longswords, the result was astonishing.
[Skill Energy Power Test: 13,000!] (Note: Power assessment may not be entirely accurate. For precise skill power measurement, please use specialized calculation tools!)
"Holy shit!"
Indeed, this exclamation of "holy shit" came from Wang Luo in the live streaming room.
But no one reproached him for it; it wasn't even considered a broadcasting accident. At this moment, no one paid attention to such details. Instead, Wang Luo became their spokesperson.
This exclamation of "holy shit" wasn't just from him; many others echoed the same sentiment.
A skill power value of 13,000 was already at the Sovereign rank, leaning towards the middle of the Sovereign rank.
This skill power was impressive, but in a professional assessment like this, it didn't seem out of the ordinary.
After all, the strength of the companion beasts and the power of their skills were far beyond the normal level for those who aspired to make a name for themselves here.
While this number was indeed a bit too high, it wasn't shocking enough to leave people in awe.
But the problem was that there were over a hundred swords floating in the sky!
Wang Luo pursed his lips, feeling his skin crawl as goosebumps erupted all over his body.
He had a hunch that something big was about to happen!
But as the commentator, all he could do at this moment was speak his mind from his seat: "Oh my god, Su Ping's Origami Figure has summoned over a hundred swords enveloped in Sovereign-rank energy. How did he manage to do that? Could it be that Su Ping wasn't joking when he said he would stop everyone single-handedly?"
These words resonated deeply with Yan Fan and the others, leaving them in disbelief.
No one could feel the intensity of the situation more than they did at this moment.
The sharp aura that hit them was so powerful that even with their companion beasts by their side, they couldn't help but feel its impact.
Such energy in those swords couldn't be ordinary!
But by then, it was too late to say anything.
Perhaps this was exactly what Su Ping had intended.
It's not that they didn't want to enter this Dream Island to avoid it.
This sword, which has been hidden for so long, should be unsheathed at this moment!
After all, Su Ping knew that at this moment, it was not just himself and the vast audience of Jianghai Province watching this battle.
Even the higher-ups in Dragon Nation, and possibly, the legendary Holy Dragon, might be paying attention here!
Only if Paper Man's battle truly shocks the entire nation, then next, Paper Man's evolution promotion will have a huge impact, and at the same time, make the Heavenly Quintessence Body become one of the Hall-level Advanced Techniques!
Therefore, only Qian Yi's battle, truly surpassing everyone's imagination and shocking everyone, can achieve these goals.
And now, indeed, is the best opportunity!
What kind of battle can be more shocking than fighting a thousand enemies of the same level? Su Ping's lips curled up, calmly observing everything.
Xiao Qing stood by his side, and the Boulder Mountain Spirit stood in the mist, honestly crouching behind Su Ping.
This fellow named Tai Shan looked up at Qian Yi in mid-air, swallowed his saliva, and then wisely shrank his head back. His yellowish eyes stared at the human in front of him.
At this moment, Tai Shan finally understood what kind of freak this human was.
This human had said that he had a base dedicated to nurturing companion beasts. Does that mean that the companion beasts in his base are all such freaks?
Wait a minute!
Tai Shan suddenly grasped the key point. If he listens and behaves, will he also become so strong in the future? Although sleeping is very tempting, Tai Shan doesn't have any grand ambitions or ideals, but becoming stronger and evolving is something no one would refuse.
Thinking of this, Tai Shan's head connects to the Stone Man's shared brain and begins to think.
Just as Tai Shan was pondering, Qian Yi finally made his move.
Or, to be precise, he finally initiated an attack!
Controlling so many swords and doing it meticulously is undoubtedly a challenging task.
If it were before, Qian Yi's limit, with the support of the Expert-level 'Mutated Sword Heart,' would have been reached by simultaneously manipulating ten swords.
According to previous speculations.
To control over a hundred swords, it would likely require a Proficient or even Perfect-level Sword Heart to multitask to this extent.
However, after the Sword Heart, Sword Body, Sword Intent, and Sword Soul abilities completely merged into one, becoming the Sword Dao Incarnation, there was undoubtedly an improvement.
Of course, even after merging into an Advanced Technique, it wouldn't be possible to flawlessly control a hundred swords in their regular forms.
So, at this moment, Qian Yi's 'Twin Eyes' were tightly closed, entering the 'Heaven and Man Unity' state.
Heaven and Man Unity and the fifth transformation of the Heavenly Quintessence Body!
Combined, they formed Qian Yi's strongest state! In this state, on this battlefield, he is invincible!
And, of course, there are also these hundreds of Paper Men, each contributing to the formation of elemental swords!
Moreover, this is not just ordinary energy manipulation but actual sword techniques!
Indeed, for this past month, Su Ping's primary focus has been on researching Qian Yi and the Paper Men.
As for breakthrough progress, it hasn't been developed yet, but Su Ping has gained a new understanding of Paper Men's paper body compression, like how Qian Yi's straw hat and cloak were compressed by these Paper Men.
Of course, even with simulations, Su Ping hasn't formally started the further evolution nurturing.
Qian Yi's achievement is the sword techniques he continues to comprehend through the Sword Dao Incarnation while controlling these hundred swords!
Hundred Swords Strike!
A simple and straightforward name, but indeed, it is a sword technique that has achieved a breakthrough!
From 'Martial Arts' to 'Immortal Techniques,' a leap!
'Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...'
The sound of piercing the air, somewhat similar to the arrow rain in some TV dramas.
However, facing those long swords shimmering with various colors, enveloped in terrifying sword auras, no one would think it was this simple.
In fact, it was indeed so.
Yan Fan hardly thought twice and flipped onto the Purple Thunder Peng's body. This Lightning Bird, an evolved Imperial-rank companion beast with lightning potential, was his primary battle pet.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liuxiaoshu Bar~~
As if sensing the resonance of the same elemental energy, a long sword shimmering with purple light and lightning struck out, enveloped in thunderous roars, fiercely piercing towards the Thunder Peng under Yan Fan's feet!
"Cree!"
A piercing cry that could cut through gold and stone, and a bolt of lightning burst from the Thunder Peng's mouth!
The lightning directly hit the oncoming sword.
However, the Thunder Peng's attack only caused the sword to fly a few meters away, but the sword itself remained unaffected.
On the contrary, the oncoming sword aura made the Thunder Peng's feathers flutter in the air! Yan Fan wanted to retreat, but staying here amidst so many sword auras was pure foolishness.
He could also guess that such a terrifying large-scale attack couldn't last too long, and he just needed to leave this place and wait for a while. But, while the logic was clear, how difficult it was to achieve!
The lightning sword paused for a moment, and then a fire sword appeared in an instant.
"Swoosh!"
"Damn it!"
Yan Fan cursed and used his mental power and the energy of his other two companion beasts to extinguish the flames that had landed in front of him.
But before he and his companion beasts could react, another wind sword appeared!
How could this be?
That origami figure only controlled over a hundred swords, so why wasn't it over yet?
However, Yan Fan soon realized why the swords kept coming, one after another, without end!
He lowered his head and looked at the other beastmaster students on the ground.
In fact, even if Yan Fan hadn't looked, he should have figured it out by now.
Even the Purple Lightning Thunder Peng in front of him was struggling to deal with the energy swords, so how could the other students, who were far less skilled than him, possibly have much resistance?
Each of these energy swords was like a Sovereign-class companion beast!
And the coordination between them was so tight and seamless that it left everyone breathless!
So, when Yan Fan looked down at the ground, he fell silent!
Columns of light enveloped the beastmasters and their contracted beasts.
This was the retreat shelter light from the student wristbands.
In other words, after just the first wave of attacks, these other students and their beasts couldn't even block a single sword!
They were directly injured, forcing them to activate the retreat button.
This was just a trial, but if it were a real battlefield, wouldn't this companion beast, at the same level, be able to defeat thousands of others with just one attack?
How was this possible? How could there be such a companion beast and skill in the world?
At this moment, Yan Fan was bewildered, and he even began to doubt the meaning of his past twenty years.
He looked at the abstract and eerie face of the origami figure in the air, surrounded by an increasing number of swords that bound it.
He could feel that the Purple Lightning Thunder Peng beneath his feet was reaching its limit.
Not only him, but he turned to look at the other beastmasters on the ground.
As the number of beastmasters rapidly decreased, the few remaining figures who were still stubbornly holding on were particularly glaring.
Li Yao Yao, Nie Yu, Huang Xiaowei, and Mo Hang...
Familiar faces flashed before his eyes, and then, under the seemingly endless flying swords, rays of light shone.
These people were part of a small group that knew each other well.
They were all top candidates from Jianghai Province, with a chance to enter the top ten and participate in the Imperial Capital's final exam.
This time, when they entered the provincial exam, they had thought about how they would end their journey.
If they performed steadily, they had even considered showing off their skills in front of the live cameras before the final exam.
But they never imagined that the result would be like this!
The columns of light showed no exception, and the origami figure in the air seemed to have infinite energy, unleashing wave after wave of elemental swords with seamless coordination.
It was like a relentless tide, leaving everyone breathless.
Finally, Mo Hang, Huang Xiaowei, Nie Yu, and the last one, Li Yao Yao.
The sword pierced through, wreaking havoc, severely injuring their companion beasts or exhausting their energy, forcing them to press the retreat button when their magic power was depleted.
It took less than five minutes.
The entire Dream Island seemed to have been bombarded, leaving no beastmasters or companion beasts in sight.
Even Yan Fan, who was relatively better off in the air, only lasted one minute longer.
That was all.
As they left Dream Island, hundreds of swords surrounded Qian Yi and the sky, emitting a resounding sword cry.
However, beneath the assault of a hundred swords, there was not a single opponent left.
"Wah (It's over? It's really... so weak...)"
Seeing that Qian Yi was still not satisfied and that the fifth cycle of the Five Elements Rotation had not reached its limit, Su Ping smiled slightly.
"Go and kill those Sovereign-class beasts in the valley that dare to rebel."
"Wah!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the giant boulder mountain spirit, Tai Shan, trembled.
It felt like Su Ping was hinting at something.
But Qian Yi didn't seem to think that much, as his five-colored paper robe fluttered in the wind, commanding a hundred swords, just like the legendary sword immortal descending upon the world!
Su Ping paid no attention to Qian Yi's excitement and took a step forward, glancing at the ground outside, which had been thoroughly bombarded. He shook his head and clicked his tongue.
"Tsk tsk, I said it before, it seems there's no doubt about the first place."
At this moment, all the viewers who witnessed this scene fell silent, especially those who had seen Su Ping's pre-match interview.
Indeed, that little brat had shown his true colors.
And then, the uproar and frenzy of the public opinion followed.
