Chapter 11: A Gap in Realm.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
Sword qi crisscrossed, sweeping through everything.
The area affected by their duel continuously expanded, and the intensity of the battle steadily increased!
Ye Cheng constantly used the sword in his hand to block the streaks of sword shadows, occasionally counterattacking. His combat awareness had improved significantly in this short time.
Although Sword Douluo's offensive was fierce, the gap in strength between them was simply too immense. If necessary, Ye Cheng could even end the battle with a single move. The only reason they were still fighting back and forth like this was purely because he was using Sword Douluo as a whetstone to train himself.
"Still not using your soul skills?"
Sword Douluo's voice was somewhat ethereal. Still concealed within the sword light, his Seven Kill Sword grew even larger. He then unleashed six more slashes, cutting open space. The black spatial rifts combined to form a mountain-sized character for 'Kill,' which rushed toward him.
"You're too arrogant!"
Seeing Ye Cheng enveloped by the 'Kill' character, Sword Douluo frowned deeply. In this short time, the two had already exchanged thousands of blows. Although it seemed they were fighting back and forth and were evenly matched.
But he knew that while he had almost used his full strength, his opponent seemed to have plenty to spare and was deliberately holding back. Or was he not taking it seriously at all?
This made him feel completely underestimated.
"Since you're so eager to witness my soul skill, then..." Ye Cheng knew it was about time. If they continued fighting, he would probably expose the fact that he was a complete rookie in combat.
It was better to end the battle in one blow.
Sword Douluo narrowed his eyes slightly. *Is it finally coming?*
"...As you wish!"
As Ye Cheng spoke, the first yellow soul ring among the nine on his Flying Rainbow Sword—a weapon like a work of art—lit up!
Instantly, the sharp aura emanating from the Flying Rainbow Sword surged dramatically!
A terrifying fluctuation of power, far greater than before, erupted from the Flying Rainbow Sword. The void trembled and shattered beneath this force!
Seeing this scene, Sword Douluo's pupils constricted violently. He never expected that by merely activating his first soul skill, the might of that sword would increase so astonishingly!
Ye Cheng's soul skills didn't have many flashy functions, only the most basic ability: to enhance his martial soul's own attack and destructive power!
This enhancement wasn't as simple as one plus one equals two. Each activated soul ring would double the power on top of the previous boost!
And to deal with Sword Douluo now, activating just one soul ring was more than enough.
Feeling the terrifying power contained within the Flying Rainbow Sword in his hand, Ye Cheng didn't hesitate, directly raising his sword and slashing out!
A dazzling brilliance surged from the sword, its resplendent glow instantly illuminating the area for several miles around!
This slash had no flashy effects, only the purest sharpness and destruction!
A dazzling beam of sword light flew out.
It ultimately collided with that massive 'Kill' character.
"..."
The surroundings suddenly fell silent for a moment, like the calm before a storm.
The next moment.
"...Boom!"
An overwhelming wave of power surged forth!
The ground was split in two. At the point of collision, the terrifying force continuously tore massive ravines into the earth!
In the void, the two forces were locked in a stalemate.
But in the end, Ye Cheng's sword light proved superior.
Sword Douluo's 'Kill' character was continuously broken apart, ground into nothingness.
He watched this scene in disbelief, murmuring, "How terrifying! Such condensed sword qi! This is definitely not a gap in soul power, but a gap in realm!"
When a Soul Master's level increases, it's not just a simple matter of gaining more soul power or stronger soul skills. Correspondingly, a Soul Master's comprehension of power and their ability to apply it in various ways also rises with it.
Sword Douluo understood. Even if their soul power levels were the same now, there was a huge gap in their development and mastery of their respective martial souls, as well as their comprehension of the sword.
This was the fundamental reason his sword qi had lost to his opponent's.
"Swish!"
With a soft sound, the 'Kill' character released by Sword Douluo utterly disintegrated, but Ye Cheng's sword qi remained incredibly condensed, slashing toward him with undiminished momentum.
Sword Douluo had no choice but to dodge, watching the beam of sword qi fly into the distance.
Until... it struck a certain hilltop in the distance.
Boom!!!
The sword qi exploded.
That massive hilltop was blasted to smithereens by the erupting sword qi.
Such astonishing destructive power made Sword Douluo click his tongue in amazement. He had never imagined that the sword qi would still retain so much power after obliterating his own Seven Kill Sword qi. One could only imagine how terrifyingly sharp that single slash was.
