Chapter 198: Glazed Kongming Sword

"Persist." Su Zhan nodded.

Mo Wentian didn't say much more, he pondered for a moment, then said, "Alright, it's set for five days from now. The challenge for the position of Holy Son will take place at the number one arena of the Battle Peak! Use these five days to make thorough preparations."

"Understood."

Su Zhan turned to Tang Wujian, "Master, let's go!"

Tang Wujian said, "Since it's settled, I don't have much else to say. Su Zhan, after becoming the Holy Son, you'll be entitled to occupy a spiritually rich mountain peak. For now, I'll have the person in charge of accommodation arrangements come over to select a better cave dwelling for your temporary residence."

"Alright, thank you, Master." Su Zhan nodded.

Afterward, he followed Tang Wujian out of the Xuantian Grand Hall.

Under the deterrent of Tang Wujian's status as a Saint King, everything was arranged in less than half an hour.

Arriving at the new cave dwelling on a small mountain peak, Su Zhan hadn't even had the chance to explore the entire place when Tang Wujian took out a peculiar longsword with a semi-transparent blade and handed it to him.

"Ah! Speaking of it, Su Zhan, you were a bit impulsive earlier but since you've made your decision, I, as your master, will support it. Su Zhan, this is a sword I used in the past. It's called the Glazed Kongming Sword, a Saint Artifact. Saint Artifacts can only unleash their power with saint qi. Although your saint qi is currently weak, it can still exert a little power. It may not be as strong as your lifesource weapon, but it's definitely much stronger than the king-grade sword hanging at your waist. Moreover, this sword is very lightweight and can enhance the speed of the practitioner. Perhaps it will be useful for your upcoming competition."

"Thank you, Master."

Su Zhan received the Glazed Kongming Sword. As expected, it felt different. He attempted to infuse a trace of saint qi into it. The Glazed Kongming Sword gradually became translucent. In fact, if not for careful observation, he would have thought the sword had disappeared from his hand!

Such a peculiar sword.

Su Zhan was curious, and Tang Wujian then took out a dark black inner armor and handed it to him.

"Su Zhan, this is the Tortoise Shell Armor, also a Saint Artifact. Although you can only unleash a little of its power, in the competition five days from now, this Tortoise Shell Armor will protect you comprehensively. There shouldn't be any problems."Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

"Thank you, Master." Su Zhan didn't refuse and accepted the items directly.

Since he had already taken Tang Wujian as his master, there was no need for him to decline. Naturally, he would remember these favors and return them to Tang Wujian when the opportunity arose.

"For Lin Dao, this is certainly possible!" Ye Zhuang hesitated for a moment, speaking cautiously, "However, Young Master, I believe Lin Dao wouldn't be so foolish as to risk offending Saint King Wujian and forcefully kill Su Zhan!"

"It's true that he wouldn't, but what if I offer him some irresistible benefits?"

Ye Kuang said, "Keep in mind, Lin Dao's master is also a Saint King, and although not as strong as Saint King Wujian, he's still quite formidable. While he may have some reservations, he might not be as fearful as you think. After all, it's a public challenge. If he accidentally kills Su Zhan, who could blame him?"

"At that time, he could just use the excuse that he didn't expect Su Zhan to be so weak' to cover it up! Defeating Su Zhan, killing Su Zhan, for Lin Dao, there isn't much of a difference. Either way, Su Zhan won't be able to withstand a full-powered attack from Lin Dao!"

"If there are significant benefits for killing Su Zhan, what reason would he have to refuse?"

Ye Zhuang's eyes lit up, "Young Master, are you suggesting"

"Prepare the carriage!" Ye Kuang smirked coldly, "I'm personally going to visit Lin Dao! Their Lin family is only a second-rate clan and still needs to rely on our Ye family. I believe the outcome of this time will definitely satisfy me! Su Zhan, you've insulted my name as a genius, and you've tried to take my position as the Holy Son! This enmity is irreconcilable! I must witness him being struck down by Lin Dao in public!!!"

Four days later.

In the Heavenly Profound Holy Land, almost all of the core disciples were heading towards the Battle Peak.

Even the elders, willing to forgo precious cultivation time, were making their way to the Battle Peak to witness this rare event.

On this day, Su Zhan also stepped out of his cave dwelling.

In five days' time, he had already reached the pinnacle level in the Celestial Dragon Sword Technique.

In reality, according to common sense, with his fourth stage Fish-Dragon Realm cultivation, he shouldn't have been able to master a sword technique that was almost at a Half-Saint level. However, under the influence of the Sword Dao Halo, the limitations that would normally apply to other sword cultivators didn't affect him.

After reaching the pinnacle of mastery in the Celestial Dragon Sword Technique, he could clearly sense his strength increasing significantly. If he were to encounter the green bull again, this single sword strike wouldn't just cut off a horn; it would be much more potent!

Recalling the path to the Battle Peak, Su Zhan's translucent sword, the Glazed Kongming Sword, suddenly flew out from his waist, growing tenfold in size, transforming into a gigantic sword.

Balancing himself on the agile blade, Su Zhan transformed into a streak of translucent sword light, slicing through a patch of white clouds in front of him. With astonishing speed, he headed straight for the Battle Peak!
