Chapter 37: Sword Qi Turns into Monkeys, What Kind of Skill is This?

Lei Renjie, with a body of thunderous might.

One of the three giants of Qingyang Sword Sect, the direct disciple of Law Enforcement Elder Lei Lie.

He practiced the sect’s most domineering technique, the True Thunder Sword Technique.

He is the second strongest among the younger generation of Qingyang Sword Sect.

With the True Thunder Sword Technique in hand, he was unmatched among the younger generation, except for Xiao Yang.

“You want to fight me? Sure thing!”

Lin Wangchuan clapped his hands in delight.

He wasn’t done having fun yet.

The technique Xiao Yang taught him was just too entertaining, too interesting.

He often played with wild beasts on the mountain.

At this moment, Lin Wangchuan began mimicking the movements of wild beasts and integrating their hunting techniques into his swordsmanship.

Xiao Yang had passed on the All Beast Sword Technique from Lin Wangchuan’s previous life, undoubtedly helping him clear the fog and open up a new world ahead of him.

What could be more fun for Lin Wangchuan than leveling up his sword skills while having a blast?

Xiao Yang watched the two on the Sword Comparison Platform with mixed feelings.

Because in the last life, they both died at Qin Fei’s sword.

Fighting and struggling, only to end up with nothing.

All that effort, just making it easy for that dead eunuch Qin Fei.

“Thunderous lightning strikes!”

At this moment, Lei Renjie made his move on the Sword Comparison Platform.

With a flick of his sword finger, a bolt of lightning sword light suddenly appeared in the void, like a thunderclap, directly tearing through space towards Lin Wangchuan.

“Rampaging Dragon Emerges from the Abyss!”

Lin Wangchuan’s body tremored, and sword light erupted all over him; his flying sword burst forth, transforming into a dragon shadow charging forward.

The violent sword qi exploded, shocking all the Qingyang Sword Sect disciples below the platform.

Lin Wangchuan was actually facing off against Lei Renjie, who was at the mid-stage of the Heavenly Martial Realm, with his peak Divine Ability Realm cultivation?

Divine Ability Realm sword cultivators could shape their sword qi, attacking their opponents.

However, Heavenly Martial Realm sword cultivators could communicate with the heavens, drawing upon the spiritual energy of the world to enhance their flying swords’ power.

Moreover, because Heavenly Martial Realm sword cultivators could absorb spiritual energy into their bodies, replenishing their own energy consumption, they not only had formidable fighting power but also didn’t need to worry about running out of energy too quickly.

“Clang!”

An incredibly piercing metallic clash rang out.

Everyone got goosebumps and quickly covered their ears.

On the Sword Comparison Platform, the dragon shadow formed from sword qi exploded, dissipating into the void.

Two figures darted rapidly across the platform.

In the next moment, countless monkey phantoms appeared on the Sword Comparison Platform.

Xiao Yang couldn’t help but smirk upon seeing this.

Lin Wangchuan seemed like a child who’d never grow up, but he was actually smarter than most people.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have created the All Beast Sword Technique in his previous life.

Once he got serious, it was no joke.

“My disciple loves to have fun, but he’s not bad in talent,” Elder Gu Feng chuckled, stroking his beard proudly.

My disciple isn’t an idiot; it’s just that you all are blind.

He only took one disciple in his life.

Back then, no one wanted Lin Wangchuan; everyone thought he was a joke.

Especially the Law Enforcement Elder back then.

He chose Lei Renjie as his direct disciple.

But no one wanted to take in Lin Wangchuan because he was always goofing off, playing around.

In the eyes of all the elders, his nature wasn’t worthy of cultivation.

Only Elder Gu Feng saw Lin Wangchuan’s potential and took him as his disciple.

Everyone laughed at him for taking a fool as his student.

That became a joke throughout the sect, a topic of conversation among the disciples.

Even now, Elder Gu Feng was still being ridiculed by the other elders.

And at this moment, Lin Wangchuan was fiercely slapping those who looked down on him in the face.

Especially those who snubbed him back then.

Xiao Yang took a glance at Elder Gu Feng.

This old man was feeling very smug right now.

At this moment, Sect Leader Jiang Qitian and the other elders were filled with regret.

They finally realized they had missed out on a once-in-a-lifetime genius.

If only they had recognized his talent back then, they wouldn’t have let Elder Gu Feng have the upper hand today.

Xiao Yang found it very interesting to watch the expressions of the elders.

It was too late to regret now.

Sect Leader Jiang Qitian, however, still wore a blank expression.

Having lived again, Xiao Yang now understood that his master was far more complicated than he appeared.

Jiang Qitian was incredibly scheming.

From the start of the last life’s sect competition, he must have already begun plotting.

Jiang Qitian probably started choosing Qin Fei from this moment on.

And Xiao Yang? He likely had already been discarded as an option.

In his previous life, Jiang Qitian had always given Xiao Yang hope, making him believe he would ultimately pass the position of sect leader to him.

However, after a thousand years of struggle with Qin Fei, Jiang Qitian ultimately abandoned him, the Sect Holy Son.

The Qingyang Sword, which Qin Fei desperately wanted, was personally bestowed upon him by Jiang Qitian.

The Qingyang Sword was the most treasured sword of the Qingyang Sword Sect. Without the Sect Leader’s explicit permission, even if Qin Fei drew it, he couldn’t become its master.

In his last life, Qin Fei wielded the Qingyang Sword and pierced Xiao Yang’s heart in a single strike.

Having lived again, Xiao Yang finally understood the mysteries and confusions of his previous life.

His master Jiang Qitian ultimately favored Qin Fei.

Of course, who could blame him? After all, Qin Fei was the Innate Dao Body—the chosen one, with limitless potential. Who would still pay attention to Xiao Yang’s True Sun Holy Body?

But this time, the tragic fate that fell upon him would not return.

Now, it was time for Qin Fei to taste the flavor of despair.

At this moment, gasps filled the square.

Xiao Yang snapped back to reality and looked up to see countless monkey phantoms filling the Sword Comparison Platform.

Sword Qi turns into monkeys.

The monkeys that appeared in the void were all lifelike, each performing different actions—some baring their teeth at Lei Renjie, some scratching their ears, some bouncing around, and others pounding their chests and howling, each with unique poses and expressions.

Xiao Yang was stunned upon witnessing this.

Lin Wangchuan’s talent was simply too against the odds.

The Pristine Holy Body indeed had infinite potential.

It was worth noting that even peak Divine Ability Realm sword cultivators would find it remarkable to condense two or three manifestations using their sword qi.

Yet Lin Wangchuan managed to manifest countless monkeys all at once.

This scene caused an uproar in the square.

Everyone was completely astonished.

“What kind of skill is this?”

Even the five elders were left dumbfounded.

The skill Lin Wangchuan displayed was something even they, with extensive experience, had never heard of or seen before.

The deeply scheming Sect Leader Jiang Qitian was also taken aback.

At this moment, the most shocked was Lei Renjie, who was battling Lin Wangchuan.

He was surrounded by the countless monkey projections transformed from Lin Wangchuan’s sword qi—monkeys in every direction, above him, below him, even right in front of him, each one different.

Lin Wangchuan had sealed off all possible escapes for him.

At this moment, Lin Wangchuan was hidden among those countless monkey figures.

Lei Renjie had no sense of Lin Wangchuan’s location whatsoever.

The Law Enforcement Elder was extremely tense.

Who would’ve thought that a Divine Ability Realm Lin Wangchuan could face off against a mid-stage Heavenly Martial Realm Lei Renjie?

Even with the legendary Pristine Holy Body, it didn’t seem possible for him to be this extraordinary.

If it weren’t witnessed with their own eyes, who would dare to believe this?

As countless monkeys charged at him.

Lei Renjie took a deep breath.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth immediately surged crazily towards him.

Lei Renjie was drawing on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth; he was about to unleash a powerful attack.

Everyone around the Sword Comparison Platform was on edge.

Xiao Yang stood up from his seat, tightly clenching his fists out of anxiety.

After all, Lei Renjie was a mid-tier Heavenly Martial Realm sword cultivator, a whole realm above Lin Wangchuan.

“With the sword as a guide, Thunder Moves Across the Nine Heavens!”

Lei Renjie bellowed, and a thunderous explosion echoed through the void, like divine punishment descending, causing the heavens to change color.

The spiritual energy drawn by him transformed into countless blinding bolts of lightning sword light that exploded in all directions.

The dazzling sword light tore through the void.

The aura of destruction made everyone tremble in fear.

Thunder Moves Across the Nine Heavens versus the Changing Monkeys!

Everyone was at the edge of their seats.

All eyes were glued to the incredible scene unfolding on the Sword Comparison Platform.
