Yuan Ming felt like Noah was a huge mountain that he could never compare to.
This was the first time he felt something like this after he got his sword and defeated that boar!
Ever since that time, he felt like there was nothing he could not accomplish in this world given that he had enough time, but now he felt overcoming the boy in front of him was natural.
As if sensing his emotions, the sword on his back trembled. Yuan Ming came out of his thoughts and looked at the sword with astonishment. Read first at m-v le-mpyr
He felt like this sword was comforting him.
'How can I let this sword down, one day I will match up to him and defeat him one day!' Yuan Ming regained his confidence as he glared daggers at Noah's back.
Unknown to him, Yuan Ming's qi turned sharper along with his determination. He did not notice this change, but the person who has been keeping an eye on everyone noticed this change and also took an interest in the sword hanging at his back.

Under everyone's curious and fearful gaze, Noah willed the sword qi to move through his body as he made a chop shape with his hand.
*Shaaa!*
After trembling a bit, the illusionary sword, the condensation of Noah's sword intent, rushed downward, aiming at the stele.
"Clang! Ting!"
The intents and energies stored inside the stele sensed the incoming attack and surged out of their dormant state. They all merged with each other and charged towards Noah's sword intent.
*Boom*
*Thud*
*Thud*
The waves caused by the collisions were so strong that everyone except Noah was pushed back.
The weaker ones collided with the wall in the back. They were all thrown around like rags.
Noah noticed this and increased the output of the sword intent. He was still not using all of his sword intent, as that would exhaust him, and he did not want to be without energy in a place where many people were after his life.
As soon as her skin made contact with the translucent barrier, the aura around the bubble surged, and a sudden wave of energy engulfed her.
"Wha-"
*Woosh!"
"AHH..!!!"
Before she could even say anything, she felt an immeasurable amount of pain all around her body. Heat surged around her body, and within a matter of seconds, her body was engulfed in flames.
Her screams caught the attention of the people present in the room as they looked at her with a panicked look on their faces. Who could have imagined that those cute-looking bubbles would be so deadly?
Someone from the same sect as the girl wanted to save her, but they were stopped by Yueha.
"Argh!! Help!" the girl kept burning as her hoarse cry for help filled with terror and desperation scared some of the disciples to the core.
"Woosh!"
The heat of the flames increased so much that her body started to crumble and burn away in the middle of her scream.
Her tears did not even have time to stream down her face before they were extinguished, along with her life.
It may have looked like a long time, but in two breaths of time, the healthy girl died, feeling the most agonizing pain of her life.
"..."
An eerie silence gnawed into the room as everyone except Noah looked at the charred marks on the ground, feeling their scalps go numb. Not even the ashes of the girl remained intact.
The most scared were those disciples who were standing close to these floating bubbles in the hall. They all jumped and moved away from them.
{Welcome to the Room of Treasures.}
{Please do not touch anything that does not belong to you or you will face consequences.}
Feeling the disturbance in the air Noah turned around and saw words appearing in the air.
Reading those lines, he felt his lips twitch a little. He wondered how the disciples from the Frozen Heart sect would feel when they would see these words.
