Chapter 442: Chapter 439 Luo Shixin

"Is a kid from the Chaotic Sea Domain really worthy of such high praise from Elder Jin?"

"Is Elder Jin talking about this kid?"

The youth in white felt it for a moment and then his gaze fell upon Ye Xuan because among this group of people, Ye Xuan’s presence was the strongest; thus, he naturally deduced it.

"That’s right, it’s him—he is the Inner Sect Disciple we recruited from the Chaotic Sea Domain, Ye Xuan."

Elder Jin spoke calmly and then he introduced to Ye Xuan, "This is Inner Sect Disciple Luo Shixin, who joined a few years before you. His nickname is Ghost God Spear, and he has made a bit of a name for himself within the Inner Sect."

"So, it’s Brother Luo."

Ye Xuan clasped his fists in a greeting toward Luo Shixin. Since the latter had joined earlier than him, it was only appropriate to call him ’Brother.’

"Junior Brother Ye, you’re the first to receive such high praise from Elder Jin. However, as your senior brother, I’m quite curious and would like to have a sparring match with you, Junior Brother Ye. Would you do me the honor?"

Once Luo Shixin spoke, his fellow Xuantian Sect disciples behind him also began to chuckle with ill intentions. They were somewhat familiar with his character; while he might not be ranked among the top Inner Sect Disciples, he particularly enjoyed teaching newcomers a lesson, especially those who fancied themselves as geniuses.

"Heh, Brother Luo’s old habit is kicking in again."

"That’s right, Brother Luo just made a newbie unable to get out of bed for three months last time, and now he’s itching for action again."

"This Ye Xuan is going to be unlucky, but then again, someone from a small place daring to call himself a genius—ignorance is bliss. Letting Brother Luo teach and suppress him is not a bad idea."

The Xuantian Sect disciples discussed amongst themselves, looking forward to the show.

"Luo Shixin, Ye Xuan has just arrived at Xuantian Sect and hasn’t even reported in yet, and you want to target him. That seems quite inappropriate," Elder Jin clearly knew the rules of Xuantian Sect. It wasn’t out of line for an elder to reprimand a newcomer, but at least it should wait until after he had Ye Xuan report in.

"What’s the issue? We’re just sparring—it won’t harm our camaraderie, right, Junior Brother Ye?" Luo Shixin looked at Ye Xuan with a smile, speaking as if he were truly benevolent.

"Seeing as how Brother extends such a warm invitation, as the junior brother, I can only accept the challenge."

Ye Xuan smiled faintly, aware that such a confrontation was inevitable sooner or later. If he declined Luo Shixin now, others would still bully him in the future, and he would be left with the image of a coward within Xuantian Sect, which was certainly not what he wanted.

"Heh, these are Junior Brother Ye’s own words. Elder Jin, please don’t interfere anymore," Luo Shixin’s pupils shrank slightly, a hint of surprise flashing through, and he quickly followed it with a smile.

"Alright, I won’t interfere any further, but in a sparring match, cease when the point is made, and do not injure anyone."

Elder Jin was aware of Ye Xuan’s strength. Although Luo Shixin was an Inner Sect Disciple, it would not be so simple for him to teach Ye Xuan a lesson.

"Don’t worry."

Luo Shixin, with his spear in hand, smiled at Ye Xuan, "Junior Brother Ye, I’m going to make my move."

He didn’t believe at all that Ye Xuan, a so-called genius from the Chaotic Sea Domain, would pose any threat to him, a seasoned Inner Sect Disciple.

"Come on."

Ye Xuan remained unmoved, appearing as calm as a light breeze and as elusive as a wisp of mist, unpredictable.

"Ghost Breaks the Clouds!"

Luo Shixin didn’t waste any more words. As soon as he made his move, his expression changed drastically, becoming incredibly fierce. The smile from before had vanished in an instant.

The spear light tore through the air, emitting a ghostly wail as it stabbed fiercely towards Ye Xuan.

Clang!

Ye Xuan’s brow twitched, and the Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword on his back unsheathed itself automatically, trailing a blue light as it fell into his hand. Without hesitation, he thrust the sword forward.

Ting!

Sword light and spear light struck each other with a gentle chime, and instantly, ripples spread out from the two of them as the center. The air whooshed, swiftly swirling around their bodies.

"What a superb Sword Realm," Luo Shixin secretly marveled in his heart. Ye Xuan’s sword was extremely cunning; it was as if his mind and sword were one, the sword following the heart. Furthermore, this sword seemed to resonate with Ye Xuan—as one with the man and blade, putting him under great pressure.

This newcomer, to receive such high praise from Elder Jin, truly had some skills.

However, he had already spoken boldly. If he were to lose now, then his face as an Inner Sect Disciple would be utterly lost. If he couldn’t even beat a newbie, how could he still have the face to stand in the Inner Sect?

"Yellow Springs Serene Fall!"

Luo Shixin leaped up, sweeping out with his spear horizontally—sharp spear light heading straight for Ye Xuan’s forehead.

His Ghost God Unrivaled Spear Skill, though a Low-rank Supreme Grade spear technique, had not been fully mastered by him yet. However, he had already achieved 70% proficiency, enough to instantly kill fellow Outer Sect Disciples of the same level.

Inner Sect Disciples were not distinguished from Outer Sect Disciples by cultivation; rather, cultivation took a secondary position. What was primary were potential and combat power. Without sufficient talent, dreaming of becoming an Inner Sect Disciple was a fool’s errand.

Ye Xuan appeared very calm and composed. With a simple flick of his wrist, he struck with the Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword.

The sword stroke seemed straightforward, yet the techniques it contained were far from simple. It encompassed the essence of nine Heavenly Grade sword techniques. Although Heavenly Grade swordsmanship might not be as powerful as Supreme Grade spear techniques, the combined force of the nine techniques greatly increased its power. In just an instant, it shattered Luo Shixin’s fierce spear techniques.

After breaking through the spear technique, Ye Xuan’s figure flashed, his feet stepping on the breeze. The second sword stroke, grazing through the air with astonishing speed, pressed towards Luo Shixin’s throat.

Seeing this, Luo Shixin’s complexion drastically changed. He hastily retreated and then from his Dantian, a dazzling wave of light was released—this was the fluctuation of the Martial Soul.

Having reached the Martial Venerate Realm, his body had cultivated a Martial Soul, which had replaced the Martial Arts Golden Core as the source of a Martial Artist’s energy. The Martial Soul had another function; it could be released to battle the enemy, which was undeniably risky. Once the Martial Soul was destroyed, the Martial Artist’s cultivation would be lost. Luo Shixin knew this was a sparring match and that his Martial Soul would certainly not be in danger, which is why he boldly released it.

In a life-or-death battle, the Martial Soul would only be unleashed as a last resort. Of course, not everyone could release the power of their Martial Soul. In the Chaotic Sea Domain, the Demon Dragon Venerable, including Jue Wuchen and Liu Qinghe, although they each had a Martial Soul or a Demon Soul, could not release it due to the weakness of their Martial Soul’s power.

Each person’s Martial Soul was unique, depending upon the Cultivation Technique they practiced. Whatever the attribute of the technique, a corresponding attribute would arise in the Martial Soul.

Roar!

Luo Shixin’s Cultivation Technique had a Water Attribute, and his Martial Soul was a green spectral fish. The moment he activated it, the fish’s silhouette also rapidly expanded, like a great mountain, looming behind him.

"Hmph, Luo Shixin, you know full well that Ye Xuan has not reached the Martial Venerate Realm and yet you release your Martial Soul. Isn’t that openly taking advantage of his lower realm?" Elder Jin’s expression soured at the sight. With the power of the Martial Soul unleashed, Luo Shixin’s combat strength significantly increased. In this way, Ye Xuan was likely no match and might indeed lose here, dealing a blow to his confidence. That was not the outcome Elder Jin wanted to see.

"Elder, your words are not correct. We are all Inner Sect Disciples; there’s no question of bullying or not. My realm is just a bit higher; should I suppress my own realm? Aren’t geniuses often able to challenge beyond their level? Moreover, he’s someone who could be compared to the elite disciples of the Inner Sect," Luo Shixin had no intention of holding back. Defeating Ye Xuan with the power of the Martial Soul might seem like an unrighteous victory, but in the end, a win was still better than losing to Ye Xuan.

"Of course, if Junior Brother Ye is willing to admit defeat now, I will stop immediately. After all, as his senior, I do not want to make things too awkward."

Luo Shixin smirked. In fact, as long as Ye Xuan was willing to yield, that would be good enough. His goal was just to teach the newcomer a lesson, to let him understand the vastness of the world.
