Su Ping's Paperman unleashed over a hundred swords, each possessing Monarch Level power, stunning the commentators and contestants. The sheer scale and energy output of the attack suggested Su Ping might actually be capable of blocking everyone from entering the Dream Island alone.

After all, Su Ping was aware that not only he and the vast audience of Jianghai Province were watching this battle at this moment.

It's possible that even the highest echelons of the Dragon Nation, including the legendary Holy Dragon, were paying attention!

Only if the battle of the Paperman truly shocked the entire country would the announcement of the Paperman's evolution carry significant weight, simultaneously elevating the Zhou Tian Five Elements Physique to the level of Hall-level Advanced Skills!

Consequently, it was only through Qian Yi's battle reaching a level far exceeding everyone's imagination that this could be achieved.

And right now, this presented the perfect opportunity!

What battle could be more astonishing than facing a thousand enemies of the same level single-handedly?

Su Ping’s lips curved slightly as he calmly observed the unfolding scene.

Xiao Qing stood by his side, while the Giant Rock Mountain Spirit remained obediently crouched in the mist behind Su Ping.

This colossal being, named Tai Shan, raised its head, glanced at Qian Yi soaring in the air, swallowed audibly, then wisely retracted its head. Its earth-toned eyes shifted to the human before it.

At this precise moment, Tai Shan finally grasped the true nature of the monstrous being standing before it.

This human, who had previously spoken of a special base for cultivating Pet Beasts – did this imply that all the Pet Beasts at his facility were this monstrous?

Wait!

Tai Shan suddenly latched onto a crucial point; if it were to listen and behave diligently, could it potentially achieve such power in the future?

Although the allure of slumber was strong, Tai Shan harbored no grand ambitions or ideals as a stone-born entity. Yet, who would refuse the opportunity to become stronger and evolve?

With this thought, Tai Shan’s consciousness connected to the collective mind of the stone men, initiating a cascade of contemplation.

And precisely as Tai Shan was lost in thought, Qian Yi finally made his move.

Or rather, he finally initiated his offensive proactively!

The intricate control required for so many swords was by no means a simple feat.

Previously, Qian Yi’s limit, under the augmentation of the Proficient-level ’Mutation·Sword Heart’, allowed him to simultaneously command ten swords, which was the zenith for the Sword Heart at that proficiency.

Based on earlier estimations.

Commanding over a hundred swords would likely necessitate a Mastery or even Perfection Level Sword Heart to achieve such multitasking capacity.

However, after the thorough integration of Sword Heart, Sword Body, Sword Intent, and Sword Soul into a singular entity, forming the Sword Dao Incarnation, an undeniable improvement was evident.

Yet, even after merging into Super-Rank Skills, perfecting the control of a hundred swords in its regular state remained improbable.

Therefore, at this critical juncture, Qian Yi’s ‘eyes’ were tightly shut, clearly entering the state of ’Unity of Heaven and Man’.

Unity of Heaven and Man combined with the Fifth Transformation of the Zhou Tian Five Elements Physique!

This synergy forged Qian Yi’s ultimate state! Within this paradigm, on this battlefield, he was utterly invincible!

Naturally, this also encompassed the hundreds of Papermen, reconfigured as elemental swords!

And this was not mere energy manipulation, but genuine Swordsmanship in its purest form!

Indeed, over the past month, Su Ping had primarily focused his attention on Qian Yi and the study of the Paperman.

While concrete breakthroughs and results had yet to fully materialize, a profound new understanding and insight into the Paperman’s Paper Body Compression technique had been achieved, mirroring the cap and cloak Qian Yi previously sported, all thanks to these Papermen employing Paper Body Compression.

Of course, to achieve further cultivation evolution, even within simulations, Su Ping had not yet officially commenced the process.

And Qian Yi’s current achievement represented the realization of Sword Technique Skills through the control of these hundred swords via the Sword Dao Incarnation!

Hundred Swords Release!

A designation that was both simple and direct, yet it signified a monumental breakthrough in the art of Swordsmanship!

It marked a transition from the previous realm of ’martial arts’ to the celestial domain of ’immortal arts’!

’Whizz whizz whizz...’

The whistling sounds of air being cleaved traversed the atmosphere, bearing a resemblance to the rain of arrows depicted in certain television dramas.

Yet, facing the myriad of long swords shimmering with diverse colors, enveloped in a terrifying aura of Sword Qi, no observer would dare to deem the display as simplistic.

Indeed, this perception was entirely accurate.

Yan Fan reacted almost instantaneously, mounting the Purple Xiao Thunder Roc. This Lightning Bird, having evolved into an Imperial-Level species with potent racial potential, served as his primary Battle Pet.

And as if resonating with similar elemental energies, a long sword radiating purple light and crackling with lightning, accompanied by the percussive roar of thunder, fiercely impaled towards the Thunder Roc beneath his feet!

"Shriek!"

Emitting a piercing shriek that seemed to fracture metal and stone, the Thunder Roc unleashed a torrent of electric light from its maw!

The lightning bolt directly intercepted the oncoming sword.

However, the Thunder Roc’s offensive merely deflected the Thunder Sword several meters aside; it had absolutely no discernible effect on the sword itself.

The Sword Qi that surged forward instead made the scattered feathers beneath the feet churn in a greater frenzy!

Yan Fan harbored a strong desire to flee; enveloped by such an abundance of Sword Qi, remaining in this location would be nothing short of utter foolishness.

He surmised that such a frightening, wide-ranging assault could not possibly persist for an extended duration. All he needed to do was depart from this area and bide his time!

However, while comprehending this reality was simple, achieving it proved to be exceptionally challenging?

The Thunder Sword merely halted its assault for a fleeting instant before an immediate Fire Sword followed suit, arriving on the scene.

"Shriek!"

"Damn it!"
