The Sword of Power

Chapter 15 - The Mysterious Vortex

"Conscious attention! A Labor Pupil challenged rank 29 in the Outer Court Rankings, Liu Qingyu, to fight in the Life and Death Arena three months from now. Everyone, remember to watch it in three months…. ”

“A Labor Pupil challenges an expert on the Outer Court Rankings? Is there something wrong with you…. Are you talking about the Labor Disciple who transcended the cultivation level to defeat Duan Jun? "

Of course it's him. Is there a Labour Disciple other than him who is tough? "

“Labour Disciple is really tough! He first challenged an Outer Court Disciple, instead he challenged an expert on the Outer Court Rankings. Even though he is nearing death, we have no choice but to admire his courage! "

......

Not long after the news of Yang Ye challenging the Outer Court Disciple had spread throughout the Outer Court, and even to the extent that some experts in the Outer Court Rankings who were at the Seven Refinement Peak had heard of it.

“A sixth rank Mortal Realm expert challenged a First Heaven Realm expert? Fools are not afraid! " This was something that an expert on the Outer Court Rank said when he heard the news about Yang Ye challenging Liu Qingyu.

“Although Liu Qingyu wasn't very strong, she wasn't someone a rank six mortal realm expert could challenge. I did not leave the Seven Refinement Peak for a long time. Now, even the Labour Disciple is already so arrogant? "

“Someone in the sixth rank of the Mortal Realm challenged a First Heaven Realm expert. Interesting…."

No matter if it was the Outer Court Peak or the Seven Refinements Peak, news of Yang Ye's challenge spread to both of these places at this moment. At this moment, Yang Ye's name actually spread throughout the Outer Court.

The Cool Breeze Gorge.

After he arrived at the Cool Breeze Gorge, Yang Ye took out the high-grade Yellow Rank sword technique he had obtained from one of the elders, the Energy Split Sword Technique, and he began to examine it carefully. Right now, he desperately needed to increase his strength!

"Energy Split Sword Technique, High-grade Yellow Rank. A technique created by a senior from the Sword Sect. It had 10 levels, and each level allowed one to execute a sword qi. When fully cultivated, 10 strands of sword qi could be executed simultaneously to sweep through everything before! "

As he browsed through the description of the Energy Split Sword Technique, Yang Ye felt lucky because when he fought Duan Jun in the Life and Death Arena before, Duan Jun had only studied the first level, but he had only learned the first level, and if Duan Jun had learned a few more levels, then it would be dangerous for him.

As he continued to read it, Yang Ye's expression became heavier. The Energy Splitting Sword Technique was extremely powerful, and it was even a little frightening. It was not too frightening if it was only able to directly execute 10 strands of sword qi, but the Energy Split Sword Technique was capable of 'dividing energies', after all', and that means sword qi can appear in very different directions.

The direction the sword qi moves can be changed!

When he imagined 10 sword strands attacking the enemy from various directions, Yang Ye felt a little excited. But in a short period of time, he calmed down as it was extremely difficult to change the direction the sword qi strands were moving. It was necessary that one's control over Profound Energy had reached an extremely shocking level, and this kind of level was something that even some Outer Court Elders were unable to achieve!

Yang Ye took a deep breath and put away the scroll, then he held onto the sword and slowly began to practice according to the circulation method in the Energy Splitting Sword Technique.

No matter if it was for his little sister, his mother, or for himself, he would not back down. Because in this world power is respected, one does not have the dignity or right to speak without power. Just like a moment ago, Liu Qingyu's strength was higher than his, so Liu Qingyu could deliberately kill him and disregard the sect's rules.

In this world, power is everything. He understood this principle when he was in Southpeace City, yet he gained a deeper understanding of this principle after he arrived at the Sword Sect.

In the next few days, apart from eating in the cafeteria, Yang Ye spent every day cultivating bitterly in the Cool Breeze Gorge, and he even slept in the canyon. With the Meridian Shield Pill given by the Outer Court Elder and the Energy Stone that Bao'er had given him, he was fully able to cultivate without any hindrance.

Crack down! Crack down!

Yang Ye was standing on an enormous rock while he was endlessly swinging the Black Iron Sword in his hand. If there was anyone else here, that person would definitely be dumbfounded because every time Yang Ye swung the Black Iron Sword, not just the rumbling sound of torn air resounded, echoed, they even left behind some sword images!

How much force would it take to emit a rumbling sound from the torn air? How quickly should the sword leave the sword shadow?

After he finished practicing the Basic Sword Technique, Yang Ye's sword pointed towards the ground at an angle, and his eyes were slightly closed while his face remained calm. He was like a monk entering a meditative state. Yang Ye's face was slightly thin, his face was handsome, coupled with his graceful black hair, although he could not be said to be a pretty boy, he was rather handsome.

At this moment, Yang Ye was trying hard to control the rare golden Profound Energy in his body, and he guided them from his dantian towards the Black Iron Sword in his hand. However, the strings of Profound Energy within his body were like disobedient children, and no matter how Yang Ye urged them, they refused to circulate along the circulation path of the Energy Split Sword Technique.

After a few minutes, many sweat droplets slowly flowed from Yang Ye's forehead. They flowed past his eyebrows, flowed past his closed eyes, and flowed into his lips.

After about an hour, suddenly, the Black Iron Sword in Yang Ye's hand was engulfed by a golden light, and it trembled slightly as if it was coming back to life.

After a moment of silence, Yang Ye's eyes suddenly opened, and emitted an extremely clear cold light. Yang Ye was holding the Black Iron Sword in his hand as he suddenly swung it towards a large tree in the distance.

The Energy Splitting Sword Technique! Yang Ye spoke lightly in his heart. After which, a thread of golden sword qi shone from the tip of the Black Iron Sword.

Bang out!

A large tree that required several people to cuddle and was over 10m away from Yang Ye had been cut in two along with this explosion, and the end of the tree was cut finely like a mirror.

It's thundering!

The top half of the tree fell to the ground and caused countless dust and dirt to fill the air.

As he looked at the tree that fell to the ground, Yang Ye's exhausted-looking face could not hide the excitement he felt. After cultivating day and night for six days, not only did he improve his Basic Sword Technique again, he even developed the Energy Splitting Sword Technique to the first level. How could he not be happy with this?

Suddenly, a hollow feeling surged from the bottom of Yang Ye's heart. It was a truly exhausting feeling of Profound Energy!

It seems like unless this is a critical moment, otherwise, I cannot rashly use this Energy Splitting Sword Technique! Yang Ye could not help but bitterly laugh as he looked at the Black Iron Sword in his hand. Although the Energy Splitting Sword Technique was incredible, its consumption of Profound Energy was simply too frightening. Just like this time, he would only execute a single strand of sword qi, yet the Profound Energy within his body had been exhausted.

Yang Ye pulled out the Energy Stone and held it in his hand before it began to absorb the energy within. The Profound Energy within the Energy Stone surged into his body and was instantly absorbed by the mysterious little vortex. Suddenly, Yang Ye frowned because the small vortex did not give him the light golden Profound Energy like in the past!

Did something happen again? When he thought up to here, Yang Ye could not help but feel a little panicked, and he immersed his mind into his body. However, he was actually unable to enter the small vortex this time around. In the past, he had been able to enter the small vortex with his Spiritual Energy, but this time, it seemed like something in the small vortex was blocking him, causing him to be unable to observe the situation inside the small vortex.

When he realized this, that feeling of panic spread completely from the bottom of Yang Ye's heart, and he hurriedly pulled out over 10 Energy Stones and started absorbing them. However, it was still as before. The Profound Energy was instantly absorbed by the small vortex, but the golden Profound Energy had still not flowed out.

“Brother, what are you playing now?” Yang Ye's expression was a little unsightly as she realized the little vortex was just taking but not giving. Could it be that the little vortex was intending to act like it used to?

Not long after, Yang Ye denied this thought. He and that little vortex were a unity. If he did not absorb the Profound Energy, the small vortex would not be able to absorb the Profound Energy. They could be said to be bound together for good or bad, and he did not believe that the little vortex would not bite the hand that fed him!

After being silent for a while, Yang Ye pulled the Energy Stone and started absorbing it because she wanted to see what the little vortex was doing.

After 15 minutes had passed, 200 Energy Stones were gone, and the small vortex was still absorbing.

An hour later, the 800 Energy Stones were gone, yet the small vortex was still absorbing, and it was absorbing even faster.

Just like this, after six hours had passed, the little vortex was still absorbing, and it showed no signs of stopping or giving him a light golden Profound Energy. On the other hand, Yang Ye seemed to be going against the small vortex until the end, and he was endlessly pulling the Energy Stone after the Energy Stone. In these few hours, the small vortex had absorbed several thousand Energy Stones.

As he watched the Energy Stone disappear, Yang Ye's heart ached a little. Fortunately, Bao'er had given him over 100,000 Energy Stones, otherwise, he would not have allowed that little vortex to absorb Energy Stones like this no matter what.

Just like this, Yang Ye sat here from day to night, and many Energy Stones vanished. However, the small vortex looked like a bottomless pit, and over 10,000 Energy Stones were still unable to satisfy the small vortex.

In the blink of an eye, Yang Ye continued to sit here from night to day, and currently day and night, 20,000 Energy Stones had vanished.

As he watched this Energy Stone disappear bit by bit, Yang Ye wanted to stop at many occasions, but he could not. Because he had to think about that little vortex. Otherwise, not to mention the battle in the Life and Death Arena with Liu Qingyu three months from now, he would even be eliminated from the Outer Court Examination held for 20 days from now.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed, and half of the Energy Stone Bao'er had given him had been consumed. At this moment, Yang Ye was already numb, and it had aroused his ferocity. Because after all, he would 'fight' that little vortex to the end!

At a certain moment during the day on the third day, Yang Ye's hand holding the Energy Stone paused for a moment, and he immersed his mind into his body. When he saw the Dantian within his body, Yang Ye's eyes immediately opened wide, and his face was covered in disbelief.
