Unparalleled Divine Power

"Just the power of my sword technique, Deification, is still not enough. Even if the power of my Transcendental Style is not bad... Using the Transcendental Style will consume a lot of Elemental Energy, so it is impossible for me to use it continuously. Once the Elemental Energy is used up too much, then the consequences are unimaginable. Under such circumstances, the slightest bit of carelessness... It's possible that I'll be crushed by these puppets."    

Qin Xiao was analyzing the current situation while dealing with these dummies.    

There were more than a dozen dummies surrounding him. One should know that these were all Early Period of Martial Moving Stage dummies.    

Fortunately, these dummies didn't have much intelligence, so they wouldn't be able to cooperate well. If these dummies knew how to work together, their lethality would be doubled.    

With the Wind Profound Truth, Qin Xiao's sense of danger had become much higher. He could always avoid danger ahead of time. Furthermore, Qin Xiao's speed was the fastest. Therefore, he could use his wind like speed to resist the strange Body Movement.    

At this moment, the one that was still on the martial stage was... There were only five people left.    

Seventeenth Highness, Gu Lingyue, hei Sanzhen, Bai Jianqiu and Qin Xiao.    

Hei Sanzhen's staff techniques were amazing, but he was also in a predicament. Bai Jianqiu's situation was the worst. From the looks of it, he should be the first to be eliminated.    

Gu Lingyue, on the other hand, was like a fairy. She had many techniques and the five elements were complete. Moreover, she cultivated a very dangerous secret technique. Combined with the power of the five elements, the power she displayed was not inferior to the power of two types of Profound Meanings combined. Therefore, Gu Lingyue was the most relaxed among the five of them.    

Of course, Gu Lingyue's killing was not very decisive. She seemed to have some mercy when dealing with those puppets. Most of the time, she would dodge. As a result, Gu Lingyue's killing speed was not considered fast.    

As for Seventeenth Highness, Gu Feng, his strength was indeed astonishing. His sword technique was at the Deification, and he had also mastered the Profound Meaning of Metal. He had even reached the second level of the Profound Meaning of Metal.    

The Profound Meaning of Metal wasn't like the Profound Meaning of Sword. In essence, it wasn't the same as the Profound Meaning of Sword. The Profound Meaning of Metal was a level higher than the Profound Meaning of Sword. Therefore, he could cultivate the Profound Meaning of Metal. It was naturally much harder to cultivate than sword profound. The Profound Meaning of Metal had reached the second level. At least in the past thousand years, there had never been such a young genius in Damo Kingdom.    

Gu Feng's sharpness was extremely dazzling.    

Therefore, his combat strength was unparalleled, and he killed the dummies with the fastest speed. His sword technique was Deification, and his profound of metal was at the second level. He was good at long term killing, and he had also cultivated a secret technique that allowed him to experience great danger. When combined with his sword technique, he was like a War God, causing people to tremble in fear.    

Even some Peak of the Bone Exchange Stage experts who were watching the battle trembled slightly. They thought that if they were to fight Seventeenth Highness, they would have to be careful.    

Gu Feng's ranking had always been number one, and no one could shake it.    

"Gu Feng is indeed a rare genius that only appears once in a hundred years in the Great Desert Royal Family. His talent might not be much worse than King of Damo's. The Deification Sword Technique is nothing, I am also a Deification Sword Technique. But he has actually cultivated the Profound Meaning of Metal to the second level. I'm far from being able to compare to him in this aspect..."    

Upon seeing Gu Feng's condition, Qin Xiao frowned deeply. After all, he had already analyzed that his biggest enemy right now was Gu Feng. If he couldn't defeat Gu Feng in terms of momentum, he wouldn't be the one to become the direct disciple.    

Qin Xiao had been trying his best to seize this opportunity.    

"Both of them are low grade Profound Meanings. In fact, there are two levels of Profound Meanings in each level. Although the gap between them isn't too big, there are differences in strength between them. "    

"For example, the Array Profound Truth and the Profound Meaning of Sword. The Profound Meaning of Beast Controlling, the Profound Meaning of Stone Controlling, and so on and so forth... Obviously, it's the most ordinary of them all, and the Profound Truths of Five Elements... Wind Profound Truth, lightning Profound Meaning... The Light Profound Meanings were a little higher. The two relatively weaker Profound Meanings merged. The power was only slightly weaker than one stronger Profound Meaning. But if two relatively stronger profound, such as the fusion of Fire and Water, were fused... That was the Yin Yang Profound Truth, and the Yin Yang Profound Truth... It's the middle grade Profound Meaning. "    

"By fusing the low grade Profound Meaning, it can be upgraded to the middle grade Profound Meaning. By fusing the middle grade Profound Meaning, it can also be upgraded to the High-grade Profound Truth."    

"Profound Meanings are too profound and vast. I'm afraid that what I know now is only the tip of the iceberg. In fact, I can even count all the Profound Meanings I know. There are only a few dozen."    

"If I want to compete with Gu Feng in terms of sharpness, my current strength is still not enough. This time, I have come with incomparable confidence. I never thought that I would be so ignorant. I thought that I could sweep away everything in Liufeng County, and even my own prestige. After eliminating the three major families, I would be able to fight for the position of the direct disciple."    

"I never thought that there would be so many ruthless young geniuses in the Damo Kingdom. I have also made many breakthroughs, but I still can't compare with Gu Feng. "    

"If I don't make any more breakthroughs, I won't be able to get the personal disciple quota."    

Qin Xiao understood his situation very well. If it wasn't for the competition for the personal disciple quota, his current performance would be enough.    

There were only five disciples left on the field, so his ranking would definitely be in the top five.    

In the selection of the Damo Academy, those who could be ranked in the top five were absolutely dazzling. They were all peerless geniuses that could shake the entire Damo Kingdom.    

To be able to reach this step, Qin Xiao was already the pride of Liufeng County. He had built the history of Liufeng County for thousands of years.    

However, Qin Xiao was not satisfied. It was fine if he did not fight for it, but if he wanted to fight for it, he would fight for it.    

In terms of talent, there was no way to compare with Gu Lingyue. There was no other way. After all, she had the Five Elemental Physique, and was the beloved child of the heavens. Adding the relationship between Qin Xiao and Gu Lingyue, he would not treat her as a match.    

However, Qin Xiao could not let go of Gu Feng. Plus, there was still some unhappiness between him and Gu Feng.    

Hence, in the Ranking Tournament, Qin Xiao also wanted to compete with Gu Feng.    

"Sword Profound and Wind Profound Truth, how do we merge them?"    

Qin Xiao was thinking about this question as he killed the dummies.    

In such a battle, he had already vaguely felt something. He believed that this was a turning point for the integration. If he could grasp this turning point, he would certainly be able to fuse the Profound Meaning of Sword and Wind Profound Truth in one go.    

The power of the Wind Profound Truth was the same as the Five Elemental Profound Meanings. The sword and Wind Profound Truth were the same. The difference between the two was just a tiny bit. However, Qin Xiao had already merged the sword and Array Profound Truth. If he could add the Wind Profound Truth into his body, he would be able to upgrade it to the middle grade Profound Meaning.    

Three Profound Meanings. No matter which one it was, as long as it was combined, its power would be comparable to a middle grade Profound Meaning. Some could directly evolve into a new Profound Meaning, while some couldn't.    

However, the Five Elemental Profound Meaning was rather special. Any two of them could evolve into a middle grade Profound Meaning.    

Therefore, what Qin Xiao wanted to do now was to merge the Wind Profound Truth into his Sword Array Profound Meaning and upgrade it to a middle grade Profound Meaning. That would be enough for him to compete with Gu Feng.    

However, fusing three Profound Meanings together was ten times more difficult than fusing two Profound Meanings together.    

Integrating profounds was too difficult.    

However, this was the only path Qin Xiao could think of at the moment.    

Therefore, he had to proceed in this direction. He had to break through and fuse with it.    

Qin Xiao kept deducing and comprehending in his mind. He kept trying. Under his firm belief, Qin Xiao stimulated his potential time and time again. Gradually, he entered a very mysterious state.    

It was a state of selflessness.    

It was extremely difficult to enter the state of selflessness while cultivating in silence. It could be said that one could only encounter it by chance, but not seek it. One could enter the state of selflessness during a battle. That was ten times more difficult. More than that.    

After all, there were too many factors in battle that could affect one's consciousness. However, one's body was still fighting non-stop.    

As soon as he entered this state, Qin Xiao's thoughts became much clearer and clearer. It was as if he had 'seen' a path, 'saw a lot of things that he could not understand and were troubling him.    

"Profound Meanings repel each other, just like two strangers walking together. If you force them to work together, it will make them reject each other even more. As the saying goes, haste makes waste. The harder it is to force the fusion, the harder it will be. "    

" Profound Meanings also seem to have their own spirituality. They need people to guide them with their minds. They need to be familiar with each other and slowly try to fuse them. It will be much easier. "    

"Techniques are only small. On one hand, the more important aspect is the profound itself and the understanding of Profound Meanings. "    

After the arrival of the third batch of dummies, Bai Jianqiu was finally defeated. Not long after that, hei Sanzhen couldn't hold on any longer and was defeated as well.    

Only Gu Feng, Gu Lingyue, and Qin Xiao were left on the martial stage.    

There were still more than a hundred dummies on the fighting stage. On average, each of them had fifty to sixty dummies surrounding them.    

On Gu Lingyue and Qin Xiao's side, most of them were dodging while Gu Feng was killing the dummies. The situation of these three had formed a sharp contrast.    

The influential officials on the spectating platform were also very gratified.    

"Seventeenth Highness is truly a man with unparalleled talent and unparalleled divine bravery. Tsk tsk. It seems like the first place this time will belong to none other than the 70th prince."    

" That's right. I'm afraid only His Majesty can match Seventeenth Highness's talent. "    

"It seems like there is no suspense this time. Seventeenth Highness will definitely be personally accepted by His Majesty and Princess Lingloong will be accepted by Dean Hai. Haha, our Damo Kingdom is really full of geniuses. There are signs of a strong rise. This is the blessing of our Damo Kingdom and the virtue of His Majesty. "    

" This Qin Xiao can be considered a monstrous genius. There is also Bai Jianqiu and Hei Sanzhen who have just been eliminated. Both of them are dark horses. If it was in the past, any one of these three could have won the first place. They are good seedlings worth nurturing."    

" I heard that this Qin Xiao and that Bai Jianqiu are both from Liufeng County. This was strange. In this unknown remote county, two peerless geniuses suddenly appeared. Oh right, there was also a person called Mangqi who was also ranked in the top 100. Three Saints appeared all of a sudden. This time, the Liufeng County is in full glory."    

" Doesn't that mean that Liufeng Haotian's strength isn't that great? But his luck is really extraordinary. If His Majesty is happy, I'm afraid he might be conferred the title of Marquis."    

While these influential officials were conversing, on the throne, Hai Hun raised his eyebrows slightly. "Good kid, entering into a state of selflessness during the battle. Looks like there's another major breakthrough. Haha, big brother, I told you that this kid is not bad. "
