Divine King of Honour Chapter 1860: Water and Fire Sword Intent
Previously on Divine King of Honour...
Xu Nian and the Moyang Sword Academy Director were positioned opposite each other, an unspoken pressure radiating between them. The latter didn't deliberately expel any aura, yet the inherent might of his Divine-level cultivation radiated outwards, markedly suppressing the atmosphere surrounding Xu Nian.
"Such potent aura; this Director must have already attained the zenith of Mid-grade Divine-level, merely a single step from reaching Top Grade Divine Level," Xu Nian mused inwardly.
In the vicinity, the Lei Family Ancestor and Tang Wu also displayed a flicker of astonishment. It was evident that the Moyang Sword Academy Director's formidable strength surpassed their own.
"The Director is incredibly imposing; while this young man isn't lacking, he clearly hasn't ascended to the Divine-level yet. How could he possibly contend with the Director?"
"What are you speculating? Naturally, he cannot match the Director. He must be from the younger generation of a friend of the Director, seeking his tutelage."
"Perhaps, but he has already reached Nether Emperor Perfection; it's unlikely he can advance further."
"To achieve Nether Emperor Perfection at such a tender age is truly commendable."
...Numerous disciples from the Moyang Sword Academy engaged in hushed discussions amongst themselves. It was apparent that everyone presumed Xu Nian was merely receiving guidance from the Director, which indeed was the situation.
Xu Nian's robes swayed, seemingly without the influence of any wind. As he gazed upon the Moyang Sword Academy Director before him, a fierce fighting spirit ignited within his eyes. The Director, meanwhile, stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his gaze placid, treating this encounter as mere sport.
"Youngster, make your move and allow me to witness your capabilities," the Moyang Sword Academy Director stated.
"Very well, please forgive my presumption," Xu Nian responded. He immediately invoked the Wind Attribute Law, integrating it with the Fifth-level Point Penetration Law to unleash a formidable surge of Sword Qi. This terrifying Sword Intent caused the surrounding void to feel as though it were being sharply rent asunder.
"What potent Sword Intent, what law is this?" a disciple exclaimed in surprise from within the gathering crowd.
"Indeed, it's exceptionally strong; I felt a chill run down my spine even from this distance. Confronting him directly, I would only face instantaneous annihilation," declared an Elder who had reached the Nether Emperor-level, his tone grave.
Many disciples nearby listened with rapt attention, astonishment evident on their faces. Their perspective on Xu Nian shifted, devoid of any prior disdain.
"Point Penetration Law, and he has mastered the fifth-level superposition, impressive. This is rather intriguing," the Moyang Sword Academy Director remarked with a faint smile. It was clear that Xu Nian's demonstration of Sword Qi Law had caught him by surprise.
"Forgive my offense!"
Xu Nian, brandishing the God Sword, surged towards the Director with a singular, decisive Sword Stab. The Sword Qi lunged forth like a celestial breaker, piercing through all worldly impediments and penetrating every void.
However, the Moyang Sword Academy Director remained unperturbed, as an ethereal Wind Wall materialized instantly. The Sword Qi, possessing the might to cleave mountain ranges, collided with this Wind Wall as if striking an unyielding Divine Iron. It failed to advance even an inch.
"What?" Xu Nian was taken aback. This Wind Wall possessed such astonishing defensive capabilities. Could wind truly manifest such a terrifying barrier?
"Youngster, without a Mid-grade Divine-level power, you cannot breach this Wind Wall of mine. Your offensive power is respectable, at best comparable to some Divine-level experts who have yet to comprehend the Great Dao. There is no possibility of shattering my defense," the Moyang Sword Academy Director chuckled.
Xu Nian, however, appeared to disregard the Director's words, unleashing dozens more sword thrusts in rapid succession. Each stab was exceptionally keen, each striking the identical point. After numerous sword strikes, fissures began to appear on the Moyang Sword Academy Director's Wind Wall.
"Ah, employing quantity to achieve the effect of superposition, quite ingenious," the Moyang Sword Academy Director smiled. Since Xu Nian could not achieve a breakthrough with a single strike, he resorted to stacking dozens. As long as the speed was sufficient, these individual strikes could meld into one cohesive force.
"Crack!" The Wind Wall disintegrated, with Xu Nian's blade now aimed directly at the Moyang Sword Academy Director. The latter seemed prepared, swiftly flicking his sleeve, conjuring a tempestuous gale. In the ensuing moment, Xu Nian felt an overwhelming storm assault him, propelling him uncontrollably backward.
Only after hurtling a thousand feet did Xu Nian manage to regain his footing. At this juncture, he had already retreated from the central square, now hovering suspended over the cliff's edge.
"Haha, young one, if this is the extent of your strength, you may not be deemed worthy of learning anything from me," the Moyang Sword Academy Director proclaimed with hearty laughter.
Witnessing this turn of events, Xu Nian offered a wry, helpless smile. Indeed, his current strength was still insufficient.
Furthermore, he was utilizing a Soul Body, its power considerably diminished compared to his true form.
"Forget it, it appears I must reveal something more," Xu Nian's gaze intensified.
The Supreme Dragon Robe manifested upon his Soul Avatar.
Donning the Supreme Dragon Robe, Xu Nian's Divine Soul Power experienced an immediate fivefold surge.
"Oh, how intriguing. Can this robe also enhance your capabilities?" The Director of Moyang Sword Academy displayed a look of surprise.
Tang Wu, too, wore an expression of astonishment, evidently recognizing the caliber of the Supreme Dragon Robe.
He had never anticipated Xu Nian to possess such a treasure.
"Again!"
Xu Nian once more invoked the Law of Extreme Point Penetration with the Wind Attribute.
This time, Xu Nian's Sword Qi manifested with even greater potency and sharpness.
Its strength was amplified several times over from before.
"Now this is interesting," the Moyang Sword Academy Director remarked with a smile. He then thrust a finger forward, unleashing a torrent of Sword Radiance.
This offensive, resembling the Milky Way cascading from the heavens, soared towards the sky.
It instantly annihilated the Sword Radiance that Xu Nian had projected.
Xu Nian sensed that this particular strike encapsulated an unfathomable Wind Profound Argumentation.
It felt as though this assault transcended the fundamental principles of wind, attaining a mystical Dao Realm.
However, Xu Nian had no leisure to ponder; the attack arrived with alarming speed.
Xu Nian was compelled to muster all his defensive might.
"Fuse!"
Behind Xu Nian, no fewer than twenty Law Discs materialized.
Among these were Laws pertaining to the Fire Attribute and Water Attribute.
One representing fire, the other water, both rested within the Law Perfection Realm.
At this critical juncture, the two grand laws emerged concurrently, coalescing to form a Water and Fire Tai Chi Disc.
"What? You have actually mastered both water and fire laws, and even fused them?"
The onlookers among the students watched in disbelief.
They had never imagined this young man, besides his proficiency in the Wind Attribute, commanded two additional attributes.
Their astonishment was mirrored, if not surpassed, by the Moyang Sword Academy Director's own bewildered expression.
Possessing three Law Attributes at Great Perfection—what manner of prodigy was this?
"Boom!"
The Water and Fire Tai Chi slammed into the Sword Radiance, effectively neutralizing it.
Although the Water and Fire Tai Chi itself was also dispersed.
"Well executed, young man. To think water and fire laws could be fused—it is truly an eye-opener," for the first time, the Moyang Sword Academy Director conveyed genuine fascination.
Xu Nian offered a slight smile as he addressed the Moyang Sword Academy Director, stating, "Today, I shall demonstrate my water and fire intent and humbly request your guidance."
With these words, all the Law Discs adorning Xu Nian's form ignited.
The combined power of the water and fire laws merged once more.
This time, the dual forces intertwined, astonishingly engulfing his God Sword.
"Boom!"
The Sword Qi surged skyward, emitting an aura that sent tremors through the very heart.
"Water and Fire Sword Intent? How fascinating," the Moyang Sword Academy Director expressed great surprise.
His gaze toward Xu Nian now held a profound measure of admiration.
