Chapter 370: Swords Falling Like Stars, A Hundred Blades Released!

Chapter 370: Swords Falling Like Stars, A Hundred Blades Released!

Silence.

The entire broadcasting studio and live streaming room were enveloped in stillness.

The chief commentator, Wang Luo, known for his ability to liven up the atmosphere and never letting the conversation die, was now staring at the live feed with his mouth agape.

Silence.

All three of them were speechless.

Before this, Wang Luo had even been thinking and speaking about the possibility that after Yan Fan, Li Yao Yao, and others entered Huanmeng Island, someone might take advantage of the situation and surpass Su Ping's top position by finding and acquiring the most valuable Huanmeng Mist Stone, which had not yet been discovered or picked up.

The answer they had received earlier was that it was entirely possible!

It was common knowledge that obtaining resources for credits was not as simple as pocketing them or placing them in the Beast Taming Space; credits were not automatically granted.

Instead, resources had to be placed in the Trainee Wristband to ensure a secure environment, and only after being scanned by the wristband could credits be earned, with each resource granting credits only once.

The time required depended on the grade and rarity of the resource.

For an Emperor-rank Huanmeng Mist Stone, it would take at least ten minutes, and holding onto it for ten minutes or longer within Huanmeng Island was indeed no easy feat.

Therefore, in their minds, the next step was to see if Yan Fan, Li Yao Yao, and a large number of Beastmaster trainees entering Huanmeng Island would get lucky, find the Huanmeng Mist Stone, and directly 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!

And what left everyone even more baffled, even after trying to figure it out, was the scene unfolding in the first-person and wide-angle satellite views—a spectacle that defied imagination.

What the hell was this?

What was it?

What were these things falling from the sky?

Was this kid truly planning to single-handedly block the entry of all participating trainees?

Despite the situation reaching this point and the live feed already displaying such an unbelievable scene, everyone still found it hard to believe.

But the facts were the facts.

In the feed, countless stars fell like rain, and each streak of light, like a meteor shower, revealed the true form of a sword gleaming with various colors!

But wasn't this a bit too much?

Indeed, at this moment, the screen showed over a hundred swords floating in the air!

Logically, that Origami Man was only a Duke-rank creature, and controlling so many swords would mean that the attached energy intensity would be significantly weakened, as energy was conserved.

In battle, dispersing energy like this would naturally reduce the attack power of energy output, resulting in a larger area of effect.

This was normal, as it made sense to try and block so many Beastmasters with just one creature.

However, when the director finally regained his composure and switched to the live feed perspective, randomly selecting one of the controlled longswords to test its power, the truth was revealed.

[Skill Energy Power Assessment: 13,000! (Note: Power assessment may not be entirely accurate. For precise skill power testing, please use dedicated calculation tools!)]



"Holy shit!"

Indeed, this exclamation of "holy shit" burst from Wang Luo's mouth in the live streaming room.

But no one reproached him for it; it wasn't even considered a broadcasting accident. At that moment, no one paid attention to such details; instead, Wang Luo became their mouthpiece.

This exclamation of "holy shit" wasn't just from him; it echoed in the mouths of many others as well.

A skill power value of 13,000 was already at the Sovereign-rank, and it was at the threshold of the mid-Sovereign level.

This skill power was indeed impressive, but in a competition where participants' beasts and skills far exceeded normal levels, it wasn't surprising.

The number was high, but it wasn't shocking.

However, the problem was that there were over a hundred of these floating swords!

Wang Luo pursed his lips, feeling a chill run down his spine.

He had a hunch that something big was about to happen!

As the commentator, all he could do at that moment was speak his mind from his seat: "Oh my god, Su Ping's Origami Man has summoned over a hundred swords imbued with Sovereign-rank power. How did he do it? Could it be that Su Ping wasn't joking when he said he would block everyone's entry with his own strength?"

These words echoed in the hearts of Yan Fan and the others, who stared at the scene before them in disbelief.

No one could feel the intensity of the situation more than they did at that moment.

The sharp aura that hit them was so powerful that even with their pets by their side, their skin stung from the force.

How could these sword energies be so simple?

However, by the time they realized what was happening, it was already too late.

Perhaps this was exactly what Su Ping had intended.

It's not that they can avoid it by not wanting to enter this Dream Island.

This sword, which has been hidden for so long, should now be unsheathed!

After all, Su Ping knew that at this moment, it was not only himself but also the vast audience of Jianghai Province watching this battle.

In the upper echelons of the Dragon Nation, it was even possible that the legendary Holy Dragon was paying attention here!

Only if Origami Man's battle truly shocked the entire nation, then next, the promotion of Origami Man's evolution would have a huge impact, and at the same time, it would make the Heavenspan Quintessence Body one of the Hall Supreme Skills!

Therefore, only if Qian Yi's battle truly surpassed everyone's imagination and shocked everyone, could he achieve these things.

And at this moment, indeed, it was the best opportunity!

What kind of battle could be more shocking than fighting a thousand enemies of the same level?

Su Ping's lips curled up, and he calmly observed everything.

Xiao Qing stood by his side, and the giant Mountain Tai was hidden in the mist, crouching obediently behind Su Ping.

This guy named Mountain Tai raised his head and looked at Qian Yi in mid-air, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then wisely shrank his head back. His yellowish-brown eyes stared at the human in front of him.

At this moment, Mountain Tai finally understood what kind of freak the human in front of him was.

This human had said that he had a base dedicated to cultivating companion beasts. So, did that mean that all the companion beasts in his base were such freaks?

Wait a minute!

Mountain Tai suddenly grasped the key point. If he listened and obeyed, would he also become this strong in the future? Although sleeping was tempting, Mountain Tai didn't have any grand ambitions or ideals, but who would refuse the chance to become stronger and evolve?

With this thought, Mountain Tai's mind connected to the shared brain of the Stone People and began to ponder.

Just as Mountain Tai was deep in thought, Qian Yi finally made his move.

Or, to be precise, he finally launched an attack!

Controlling so many swords, and doing so with intricate precision, was by no means an easy task.

In the past, Qian Yi's limit, with the assistance of the Skilled-level 'Mutated Sword Heart', allowed him to manipulate ten swords simultaneously, which was already the limit for this level of Sword Heart.

According to previous speculations,

To control a hundred swords or more would likely require a Proficient or even Perfect-level Sword Heart to be able to multitask to this extent.

However, after the Sword Heart, Sword Body, Sword Intent, and Sword Soul completely merged into one, becoming the Sword Dao Incarnation, there was undoubtedly an improvement.

Of course, even after merging into a Supreme Skill, it was still impossible to perfectly control a hundred swords in its normal form.

So, at this moment, Qian Yi's 'eyes' were tightly closed, seemingly entering a state of 'Unity of Heaven and Man'.

The Unity of Heaven and Man and the fifth transformation of the Heavenspan Quintessence Body!

This combination formed Qian Yi's strongest state! In this state, on this battlefield, he was invincible!

Naturally, there were also these hundreds of Origami Men, each contributing to the formation of elemental swords!

And this was no ordinary swordplay; it was genuine sword techniques!

Indeed, over the past month, Su Ping had dedicated most of his time to researching Qian Yi and the Origami Men.

As for breakthrough achievements, they had yet to be developed, but Su Ping had gained a new understanding of paper body compression in Origami Men, such as the hat and cloak on Qian Yi, which were compressed by the Origami Men.

Of course, even with simulations, Su Ping had not formally started the cultivation for further evolution.

Qian Yi's achievement was the sword techniques he had comprehended through the Sword Dao Incarnation while controlling these hundred swords!

Hundred Swords Strike!

A simple and straightforward name, but it was a sword technique that truly broke through the boundaries of martial arts!

It was a leap from 'Martial Arts' to 'Immortal Arts'!

'Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...'

The sound of breaking through the air, somewhat similar to the rain of arrows in some TV dramas.

But facing the long swords shimmering with various colors and enveloped in terrifying sword auras, no one would think it was that simple.

In fact, it was indeed so.

Yan Fan didn't even have time to think; he flipped onto the body of the Purple Lightning Peng. This Lightning Bird, an Imperial-level companion beast with the potential of its race, was his primary battle companion.

As if sensing the resonance of the same elemental energy, a sword shimmering with purple light and lightning bolts lunged towards Yan Fan's feet, piercing through the Lightning Peng with a thunderous roar!

"Cree!"

A piercing cry accompanied by a bolt of lightning shot out from the Lightning Peng's mouth!

The lightning bolt directly hit the oncoming sword.

Yan Fan's attack only caused the sword to fly a few meters away, but the sword's body remained unaffected.

Yan Fan wanted to retreat, as it was foolish to stay amidst so many sword auras.

He could guess that such a terrifying large-scale attack couldn't last long, and he just needed to wait it out!

But while the logic was sound, executing it was another matter.

As the lightning sword paused for a moment, a fire sword swiftly appeared.

"Screech!"

"Damn it!"

Yan Fan cursed, using his spiritual energy to extinguish the flames around him and his companion beasts.

But before they could react, another wind sword struck!

How could this be?

This Origami Man had only controlled over a hundred swords, right? Why wasn't it over yet?

Soon enough, Yan Fan realized why the swords kept coming relentlessly.

He lowered his head, looking at the other beastmaster students on the ground.

Even without looking, Yan Fan should have figured it out after the initial shock.

Even his companion beast, the Purple Thunder Peng, was struggling to deal with these energy swords. How could the other students, far inferior in strength, possibly withstand such an onslaught?

Each sword was like a Sovereign-level companion beast!

The swords' coordination was so tight and seamless that it left them breathless!

As Yan Fan looked down, he saw the pillars of light envelop the beastmasters and their companion beasts.

This was the retreat shelter light from the students' wristbands.

In other words, in just the first confrontation, these students and their companion beasts couldn't even withstand a single sword attack! They were directly injured, and some had to activate the light to retreat.

This was just a trial, but if it were a real battlefield, wouldn't this companion beast be able to defeat a thousand others of the same level in a single encounter?

How was this possible? How could there be such a companion beast and skill in this world?

At this moment, Yan Fan was bewildered, even starting to doubt the significance of his past twenty years.

He looked at the abstract and eerie face of the Origami Man in mid-air, then at the countless swords surrounding him, growing in number.

He could feel that the Purple Thunder Peng beneath him was reaching its limit.

Not only him, but the other beastmasters were also struggling. A few familiar figures—Li Yao Yao, Nie Yu, Huang Xiaowei, and Mo Hang—stood out, their persistence making them all the more glaring.

They were the top contenders from Jianghai Province, all with a chance to enter the top ten and participate in the Imperial Capital's final trial.

They had imagined how they would exit the stage, and if their performance was stable, they had even planned to showcase their strength before the live cameras, engaging in a beastmaster battle to test their skills.

But no one could have imagined that the result would be like this.

The pillars of light showed no exception, and the Origami Man in mid-air seemed to have endless energy, continuously unleashing a dense barrage of elemental swords.

It was like wave after wave of an unstoppable tide, leaving them breathless.

Finally, Mo Hang, Huang Xiaowei, Nie Yu, and the last one standing, Li Yao Yao, couldn't hold on any longer.

The swords pierced through, their energy ravaging the companion beasts, causing severe injuries. Some exhausted their energy, and with the illusion potions depleted, they had no choice but to activate the retreat light.

In less than five minutes, the entire Huanmeng Island was like a scene of bombardment, with not a single beastmaster or companion beast left standing.

Even Yan Fan, who had a slight advantage in the air, could only hold on for one more minute.

That was all.

As Su Ping emerged from Huanmeng Island, hundreds of long swords surrounded him in the sky above.

The swords rang out with a crisp clanging sound.

However, beneath the onslaught of a hundred swords, there was no longer an opponent to be found.

"Wow... It's over? So... vulnerable?"

Su Ping smiled slightly, seeing that Li Yao Yao hadn't had her fill and that Qian Yi hadn't even reached the limit of her fifth-round Five Elements Rotation.

"Go and kill any of the Sovereign-level ferocious beasts in the valley that dare to resist."

"Wow!"

Upon hearing this, the Mountain Stone Spirit of Mountain Tai shuddered.

It always felt like Su Ping had a hidden meaning behind his words.

But Qian Yi didn't think much of it. His five-colored paper robe fluttered in the wind as he controlled the hundred swords, resembling the legendary Sword Immortal descending upon the four directions.

Su Ping paid no heed to Qian Yi's excitement. He took slow steps, glanced at the ravaged ground outside, shook his head, and clicked his tongue.

"Tsk, tsk. I said it, and indeed, there's no doubt about this 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, this young man had lived up to his words.

Then, the media frenzy exploded, completely overturned and ignited.
