The disciples were discussing the matter, and some were puzzled as to why Zhang Ding lost the battle.
"Zhang Ding actually lost! He had the upper hand all along, so why did he withdraw the Danhuo and give Xu Chunniang a chance to turn the tables?"
"Did Zhang Ding take back the Dan Fire? Why didn't I see it? Could it be that Xu Chunniang used some trick to take the Dan Fire back?"
"It is very likely that this is the case. She was trying to buy time by taking the Dan Fire head-on. This is also the reason why she was not injured even though she was burned by the Dan Fire."
Everyone's guess was very close to the truth. Xu Chunniang did use the Five Elements Body Tempering Method to absorb the Dan Fire.
But this amount of Dan fire is really too little.
After it was all absorbed, the enhancement to her body was extremely limited, it only made her skin a little tougher.
Zhang Ding's failure in the challenge made everyone have a new assessment of Xu Chunniang's strength.
Not to mention how she took away the Dan Fire, the fact that she was able to repel Zhang Ding with just one punch was enough to show her amazing physical skills.
Zhang Ding's strength was one of the best among all the disciples of Miaodan Sect who went to fight, only slightly inferior to Kong Xiang, Xiao Qi, and Ye Yu'er.
Xu Chunniang won two games in a row, and the next challenger was the Wanjian Sect.
After weighing the pros and cons, Elder Tang of the Wanjian Sect assigned Mo Lin, who was at the second level of foundation building and famous for his swift swordsmanship, to the field.
After two competitions, the female cultivator named Xu Chunniang had consumed a lot of strength, but to be cautious, he still sent out the strongest Mo Lin.
After Morin came on the field, he launched an attack directly, using his fast sword, which he was proud of.
His sword moves were like a green dragon emerging from water, leaving several afterimages in an instant, making it difficult to distinguish the real sword light from the murderous intent.
However, no matter how fast the sword is, it cannot be faster than spiritual consciousness.
Xu Chunniang had a strong spiritual awareness and was not afraid of the sword light. She had already discovered the true murderous intention.
She tapped her feet lightly, used the force to leap forward, dodged through the numerous illusory sword shadows, and attacked her opponent.
Seeing Xu Chunniang perfectly avoiding all murderous intentions and approaching him, Mo Lin was shocked and quickly retreated backwards.
Just now, she used only one punch to knock Zhang Ding out of the ring, which was enough to show her extraordinary physical skills.
He is a pure swordsman, and if she gets close to him, it would be very bad.
However, every time he took a step back, Xu Chunniang took a step forward.
Seeing that he would be out of the ring if he retreated any further, Mo Lin suddenly stopped and attacked with his sword.
This time, he was faster.
The sword in Mo Lin's hand drew an arc, and a large number of sword shadows poured out from the arc and shot towards Xu Chunniang.
It turned out that he had retreated in sheep disguise before just to accumulate strength for this move.
Looking at the dozens of sword shadows coming towards her, Xu Chunniang's eyes narrowed slightly.
Even her spiritual sense could not distinguish the real from the fake of these sword shadows, so there was only one possibility: all the sword shadows were real.
Xu Chunniang's long black hair moved without wind, and a large green cauldron appeared out of thin air in front of her, emitting a pale green light, temporarily blocking dozens of sword shadows.
Seeing this scene, Mo Lin snorted, "Don't overestimate your own abilities!"
This “Ten Thousand Sword Shadows” is his ultimate move, how could it be easily broken
He raised the sword in his hand, and many sword shadows seemed to be controlled, shaking one after another, and actually passed over the green-patterned cauldron and stabbed towards Xu Chunniang.
However, when these sword shadows penetrated within three feet of her body, they seemed to encounter an invisible barrier and could no longer move forward.
Mo Lin frowned slightly, and spiritual energy continuously flowed into the sword in his hand, urging the sword shadow forward.
The sword shadow continued to vibrate, but still failed to move forward.
Looking at the dozens of sword shadows in front of her, Xu Chunniang once again realized the benefits of having a strong spiritual awareness.
Spiritual consciousness is invisible and intangible, can attack or defend, and can change into thousands of forms. It is much more flexible than spiritual weapons.
With a thought, she put away the green-patterned cauldron, and then sixteen spiritual senses came out together, attacking the dozens of sword shadows fiercely.
Then, these sword shadows were broken into pieces and turned into black shadows under this stirring, and then disappeared without a trace.
Mo Lintong Kong shrank suddenly, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
He had fought against Xiao Qi before, and even when Xiao Qi faced this move, he had to suppress and break it with stronger sword moves, and could not take it so lightly.
How did Xu Chunniang manage to crack his trick
Thinking of the previous battle between Xiao Qi and Kong Xiang, he felt an emotion. Could it be that she was like Kong Xiang, and also practiced the method of spiritual consciousness
But soon, Morin suppressed this speculation.
In order to dissolve this move with spiritual consciousness, the requirement for spiritual consciousness strength is extremely high, which is simply not something a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage can do.
Most likely she has mastered some advanced techniques or developed some magical powers to be able to achieve this.
Although she seemed to have easily resolved this move, she must have paid a huge price for it.
It was just like when she fought with Zhang Ding before, enduring the burning of the Dan fire and collecting the Dan fire.
Mo Lin made up his mind, and with his sword in hand, he charged towards Xu Chunniang.
Zhang Ding lost because he was too confident in his Danhuo, which gave her a chance to breathe. He would not make the same mistake.
Kill her while she is sick!
Faced with Mo Lin's sudden and fierce sword moves, Xu Chunniang was not surprised but happy. She withdrew her spiritual consciousness and fought against him only with the strength of her body.
Her strong spiritual awareness is her advantage, but if she relies on spiritual awareness to win all battles, her physical skills will never improve.
After all, in addition to physical training, actual combat is also indispensable for the art of body building.
Mo Lin lives up to his reputation as the fast swordsman, his sword is fast but not chaotic, before one move is out of date, the next one arrives first.
Xu Chunniang had to concentrate all her attention to avoid his sword moves.
After a long period of fruitless attacks, Morin began to feel a little impatient.
Every time he swung his sword, he felt he could hit the opponent, but each time he was just a little bit short.
He had increased his sword speed to the extreme, but he still couldn't touch the corner of the opponent's clothes.
On the other hand, Xu Chunniang became more and more energetic as the battle went on.
In this intense match, she quickly adapted to her own strength and her reaction speed was improved to a higher level than before.
Morin fought hard for a long time, and seeing that the opponent was becoming more and more calm, he suddenly felt suffocated.
He just didn't believe that he couldn't hit her!
Faster, faster...
There was an afterimage of Mo Lin's movements, and when his sword reached its limit, an extremely sharp sword energy surged out from under the sword and attacked Xu Chunniang.
Under the ring, many people were watching the fierce battle between the two.
Therefore, as soon as the sword energy appeared, someone exclaimed in surprise.
"That's... Sword Qi! Mo Lin actually broke through on the spot and cultivated Sword Qi."
"Only when you have practiced the sword art to a certain level can you have the chance to develop sword energy. Even Chen Xinlei and Xiao Qi were unable to develop sword energy. Can Xu Chunniang defend against this move?"
"The sword energy is not only fast, but also extremely powerful. Even if Xu Chunniang has some physical skills, how can she fight against it?"
"The outcome of this battle is already decided. Xu Chunniang is going to lose."
