Qin Shi was not the only one who noticed this. Zhang Hun's granddaughter, Zhang Ling 'er, was in a similar situation. She was the same as Qin Shi. She had the power of a perfect Domain Realm, but she was in a difficult situation when dealing with the sword pillars. There were several times when she was almost hit by the sword pillars. Even if she was lucky enough to dodge them, her fluttering clothes would still be torn in half.
This made her a little exasperated.
"Boy, there seems to be a power resonating with the sword pillars on these little things!" The Nefarious Demon suddenly said.
"Resonance?" Qin Shi frowned. Soon after, he carefully observed it as a glint suddenly flashed across his black eyes.
"It's actually true?"
He was surprised to find that no matter if it was Su Tiao or Haoyue, when they were dodging the sword pillar attacks, he actually felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. That familiar feeling was like …
"It's the feeling of the Purgatory disciples dodging the volcanoes, right?" The Nefarious Demon said.
Qin Shi seemed to have woken up from a dream. He blinked hard and said, "Yes, that's right. It's this feeling. It's like they're dodging the volcanoes like the Purgatory disciples. They can predict the sword pillars' subsequent attacks."
Hearing this, the Nefarious Demon smiled faintly. "It looks like you've already understood."
Qin Shi took a deep breath. There was a hint of surprise and joy in his eyes. He smiled and said, "I always thought that only the Desolate Domain and the Purgatory Domain had a different kind of power. I never thought that the Sword Sect would also have a unique kind of power."
"Haha, which one of the Eight Regions of the Mortal World is simple?"
"Indeed, I was too full of myself. I thought I understood the Eight Regions well enough, but little did I know that I haven't even touched the surface of the Eight Regions." Qin Shi smiled self-mockingly. Then, he suddenly became serious.
He raised his black eyes and fixed them on the sword pillars that were constantly slashing at him. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Come, let me see exactly how powerful this unique Sword Grandmaster's energy is!"
Qin Shi's eyes were filled with greed without any concealment.
Xiu!
At this moment, the sword pillar slashed down on Qin Shi's forehead, and under the sharp edge of the sword, Qin Shi suddenly made a bold move. He didn't dodge or evade, but slowly opened his palm and suddenly grabbed at the sword pillar.
"Hey, look, what's that kid trying to do?"
"Damn, isn't he going to dodge that terrifying sword light?"
"Is he tired of living?" Many of the contestants were puzzled.
It was just that they hadn't seen through it yet. Many elders in the elder seating area frowned slightly at Qin Shi's action.
Seeing this, Feng Sha stroked his beard and laughed. "Haha, I didn't misjudge you. You've already comprehended the mystery so quickly?"
"Elder Fengsha, do you think that he has already discovered the existence of the Sword Qi?"
Feng Sha nodded calmly and said in satisfaction, "Yes, in the history of the Sword Sect, no one has been able to sense the power of sword Qi in such a short time. This kid might really be able to do great things. Looks like Qi Qing's bet back then was not wrong."
On the Glory Platform, Fang Qing was so excited that she couldn't sit still and stood up.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Qin Shi.
Rumble!!!
The sword light fell, and the ground shook. A violent vortex gathered in Qin Shi's palm. In the end, he didn't dodge or evade, and just grabbed the sword pillar with his bare hands.
Boom!
The ground behind him instantly cracked, and a ravine spread out crazily.
Everyone's eyes widened.
Qin Shi furrowed his brows. After he grabbed the sword pillar, he clearly felt an extremely strange power pouring into his body.
That power was like a torrential river, and it penetrated through his bones and meridians in an instant.
"Ha!"
For a moment, he couldn't control his groan. Luckily, he made a prompt decision and activated the Fallen Star Hegemon Body Technique to protect his entire arm. Only then did he avoid the danger of being cut off by the sword pillar.
"Hum!"
Immediately, his Dantian flashed, and a hanging golden sword flew up from his Mystic Crystal.
When the golden sword appeared, Qin Shi couldn't help but be excited. "Is this the source of the sword energy?"
Since he had condensed the golden sword, it was obvious that he had successfully absorbed the sword energy into his body.
What he needed to do now was to master the sword energy as soon as possible. Otherwise, the sword pillar would soon crush him.
Suddenly, he closed his eyes, and his Primordial Spirit quickly sank into his dantian.
In his dantian, his Primordial Spirit scanned the hanging golden sword and smiled. "Little thing, since you're already here, don't think about getting out. Let me see how powerful you are."
"Roar!"
With a violent roar, the golden sword madly roared at Qin Shi.
In the next moment, Qin Shi's black eyes turned cold. The golden sword shot out tens of thousands of sword lights, stabbing straight at the Mysterious Crystal in his dantian.
He gritted his teeth. "Humph, I didn't expect you to be so tough!"
"Relic Mantle!"
He quickly made a hand seal and used the golden tower to protect the Mysterious Crystal.
Bang!
Bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
In an instant, sparks flew, and the inside of his body was turned upside down.
He clenched his teeth, but he couldn't do anything to the golden sword.
Just as he was wondering what he had done wrong, there was suddenly a strong buzzing sound in his body!
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
Under his Dantian, the black crystal was flashing continuously and spewing out black mist into the surroundings.
"Huh?
The Power of Purgatory? "
Qin Shi was shocked. However, just as he was about to stop the black crystal, the hanging golden sword was not to be outdone. The two collided wildly.
Bang!
In an instant, Qin Shi's Primordial Spirit couldn't help but tremble. He almost fainted from the shock.
"Damn it. What's going on?"
"Little fellow, don't get too excited. These two forces are trying to erode each other. Don't be in a hurry to stop them. Let them fight first. If both of them are injured in the end, you might be able to reap the benefits!"
"You're telling me to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight?" Qin Shi was stunned.
The evil spirit shrugged, unable to deny it.
Suddenly, Qin Shi fell silent for a moment, but then he shook his head, "No, I promised Wan Yue that I wouldn't use the Power of Purgatory!"
"Don't worry, the Power of Purgatory is circulating in your body. There won't be any abnormalities in the outside world. Even if Wan Yue has the cultivation of the World Realm, she won't be able to see it."
"Really?"
Qin Shi narrowed his eyes doubtfully. Then, he used his X-ray vision to investigate the observation platform. After confirming that Wan Yue didn't show anything unusual, he heaved a sigh of relief.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
After a series of crazy collisions, Qin Shi's dantian was like a chaotic battlefield. The two forces continuously collided.
There were a few times when the intense collisions almost made him faint. He slapped his head hard and bit his tongue. The thick smell of blood spread in his mouth, allowing him to barely stay awake.
He took a deep breath, "F * ck, these two forces are really not easy to deal with."
"Of course. Even in ancient times, the power of a variant was a treasure that countless powerful beings fought over. You brat, you actually have two great variant powers. I don't know what kind of dog shit luck you've run into!" The evil demon scolded him with a smile.
Qin Shi curled his lips. At this moment, his black eyes suddenly focused.
"Kid, now is the time!" The Evil Demon also shouted.
Qin Shi immediately became spirited. A huge mushroom cloud suddenly appeared in his field of vision, and the two forces collided fiercely.
Under the intense shaking, Qin Shi felt as if he was hallucinating. His dantian was filled with burnt fragments, like the starlight of a vast galaxy.
He swallowed his saliva and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
"These two forces are exhausted right now. If you make a move now, you will definitely be able to subdue them."
Qin Shi nodded and let out a long sigh. "Fortunately, now is the time. If I let these two forces fight for a while longer, my dantian will probably explode."
Then, without hesitation, he lightly tapped his feet and leaped forward, stopping in the middle of the two forces.
He smiled. "The two of you have been fighting for so long and still can't decide a winner. Why don't you both submit to me?"
"Roar!!!" The two forces roared madly.
However, due to the excessive consumption just now, the two mutant powers had become extremely thin.
Qin Shi shook his head. Right now, these two forces were unable to resist him at all. He extended his left and right hands at the same time. Countless chains burning with golden patterns shot out from his palms, trapping the two forces in all directions.
Boom!
Immediately, a golden hanging sword and a pitch-black palace gradually calmed down and stopped below his dantian.
His black eyes opened slightly at this moment, and the corners of his lips could not help but curl into a faint smile.
At this moment, the sword pillar was still trembling in his hand. He suddenly shook it.
Boom!
The sword pillar was pushed away forcefully.
This scene instantly caused everyone to exclaim.
"He succeeded!" Countless elders at the elders' seating area were shocked.
Haoyue leaped and skillfully dodged the sword pillar's attack. Then, she looked at Qin Shi and smiled. She nodded and said, "This is the Stone I know."
Su Tiao also stopped and glared at Qin Shi viciously. "Hmph, interesting. I was just worried that you wouldn't be able to survive this."
"It seems that I have disappointed you." Qin Shi and Su Piao looked at each other and sneered.
Su Piao's eyes turned cold. At the same time, he said coldly, "Don't worry, we'll see."
Qin Shi shrugged his shoulders.
Then, in the next test, Qin Shi also became more skillful. He realized that the power of the sword aura had increased his understanding of swordsmanship by a few levels. Every time the sword pillar moved, he could accurately judge where the sword aura would land.
Of course, when they saw Qin Shi successfully block the sword pillar and become even more skillful, many disciples were able to see some clues from it.
After that, they all looked at each other and tried it out curiously … However, this method could not be used by everyone. Qin Shi chose to meet force with force. If he wanted to do this, he must at least be able to block a strike from the sword pillar.
