A few miles outside Tianxing Academy, in a secluded grove.
The cold moonlight filtered through the layers of leaves, casting dappled light spots on the ground. The night wind blew, bringing the fragrance of grass and a hint of coolness.
At this moment, Tang Chuan and Qian Renxue stood facing each other.
There was a distance of about ten meters between them, and the atmosphere was subtle and stagnant.
"Next, you need to be careful."
"My Martial Soul is the Holy Sword! A Rank 52 attack system Spirit King!"
Qian Renxue's beautiful face appeared somewhat hazy in the moonlight. Suddenly, the corners of her lips curved into an arc with a hint of playfulness, and she said in a deep voice.
As her words fell, her aura suddenly changed!
Two yellow, two purple, and one black—five standard, optimally matched spirit rings—slowly spiraled up from beneath her feet, erupting with a powerful Soul Power fluctuation.
At the same time, a long sword, entirely golden, carved with sacred patterns, and emitting a warm and Holy Light, appeared out of thin air in her hand, its tip pointing diagonally towards the ground.
"No! This is definitely not her true strength!"
"With her talent and the cultivation she has secretly accumulated over the years, her Soul Power Rank should definitely not be only around Rank 50; it should at least be close to the Spirit Saint level!"
Watching this scene unfold, Tang Chuan's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly, and he thought to himself, "The original work mentioned that Qian Renxue has already absorbed the head Soul Bone among the six Soul Bones of the Angelic Regalia, possessing the ability to disguise her spirit rings, Martial Soul, and appearance! She must be using that Soul Bone now to disguise her true Soul Power Rank and Martial Soul form!"
His mind was as clear as a mirror, but he remained calm on the surface, merely responding indifferently:
"Same to you, you also need to be careful."
"My current cultivation has also reached the Spirit King level!"
With that, Tang Chuan said no more and slowly raised his right hand.
In an instant, a strangely shaped Blue Silver Grass quietly emerged from his palm.
This Blue Silver Grass was entirely noble blue-gold in color, with broad, thick leaves whose edges bore subtle Dragon scale-like patterns. Most astonishingly, at the center of the leaves, a lifelike golden vertical eye pattern slowly opened and closed, as if alive!
The moment this Blue Silver Grass appeared, an indescribably vast and majestic life aura, like an ocean, surged outwards from Tang Chuan, sweeping across the surroundings!
Buzz—
Wherever the aura passed, a series of astonishing phenomena immediately occurred.
On the ground, ordinary Blue Silver Grass, as if infused with endless vitality, began to grow and spread wildly at a visible speed, instantly becoming lush green and shimmering with spiritual light.
The withered and about-to-fall leaves on the surrounding trees.
As if time had flowed backward, they quickly regained their vibrant vitality, becoming tender green and plump.
Even in a small pond not far away.
Several fish that had just turned belly up and died not long ago suddenly twitched, began to wag their tails again, and miraculously came back to life, swimming happily in the water!
This entire area, in an instant, seemed to have been transformed into a Holy Land of life!
"His Blue Silver Grass seems to have grown stronger?"
Slightly stunned, Qian Renxue, holding the golden Holy Sword, felt the vast life aura that swept over her, causing her inner Angelic divine force to resonate slightly. For the first time, an unconcealed look of shock appeared on her beautiful face.
"Blue Silver Grass? How could it possess such terrifying vitality?!"
She was only momentarily stunned, but her combat instincts immediately made her regain her focus.
Her eyes narrowed, Qian Renxue's Soul Power erupted, and her figure transformed into a golden stream of light. Holding the Holy Sword, she charged towards Tang Chuan with an unparalleled Sword Intent, launching the first attack!
"Good move!"
With a low shout, Tang Chuan did not dodge or evade Qian Renxue's lightning-fast offensive.
The Blue Silver Grass in his palm subtly twisted and solidified.
Amidst a burst of brilliant blue-gold light.
It instantly transformed into a magnificent long spear, about twelve feet long, flowing with blue-gold life essence, its spear tip a cold gleam like a golden vertical eye!
With a flick of his wrist, the Blue Silver long spear emitted a low hum, then thrust forward fiercely, meeting Qian Renxue's cleaving Holy Sword with unparalleled precision!
"Clang!"
The spear and sword clashed, emitting a crisp, piercing sound of metal striking metal!
Immediately after, a powerful Qi wave erupted outwards from the two of them, pushing down all the surrounding grass and trees, some even being cut in half!
The next moment.
Their figures rapidly flickered and collided in the grove. Spear shadows danced like Dragons, and sword light flashed like lightning, erupting in a series of dense collision sounds and Soul Power explosions. The battle was exceptionally fierce.
However, the more they fought, the deeper Qian Renxue's shock became!
She discovered that although Tang Chuan's Soul Power Rank was only around Rank 50.
The Soul Power contained within him was as vast and condensed as a boundless ocean. Its profoundness and recovery speed were actually no less than that of a Rank 70 Spirit Saint expert!
In fact, Qian Renxue felt that even an ordinary low-level Spirit Saint standing here might not be Tang Chuan's match!
After a prolonged attack without success, a hint of determination flashed in Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes.
With a thought, the noble and Holy power of her Angel Martial Soul was subtly activated, instantly pouring into the Holy Sword in her hand.
