Chapter 280 - Earth-grade Martial Arts Fifth Update

The air vibrated, and the ancient patterns on the giant blue sword slowly began to decompose.

Time trickled by, and the blue giant sword continued to change until it finally transformed into a Jade Scroll and a sword pattern.

Swoosh!

The blue sword pattern swiftly entered Lin Xuan’s forehead and disappeared from sight.

Lin Xuan’s body quivered slightly, flickers of blue light flashing in his eyes as he rapidly absorbed the information.

The exquisite moves and theoretical knowledge of the Gale Chasing Lightning Sword flooded his brain.

Luckily, Lin Xuan’s Soul Power was robust enough to barely accommodate this influx of information.

Otherwise, someone else might have been overwhelmed by the information and passed out.

In this manner, Lin Xuan stood in silence, quietly experiencing the profound mysteries.

The Jade Scroll floated to his feet, emitting a faint glow.

Outside, Spirit Martial Mountain was ablaze with splendid light, surging with colorful radiance, like a Human World Fairyland.

The crowd waited patiently outside, especially the Black Wind Sect, the Mu family, the Yuhua Sect, and other sects, were filled with anticipation.

Time flew, and half a day had passed.

Just as the crowd was getting impatient, a mountain peak of Spirit Martial Mountain once again emitted a dazzling pillar of light.

There, a figure rapidly emerged, his aura now much stronger than before, making it impossible for ordinary half-step Soul Fusion Warriors to even look him in the eye.

“It’s Brother Zhao Jie!” exclaimed a disciple of the Yuhua Sect, his face showing an intense excitement.

Swoosh!

Zhao Jie moved rapidly, swiftly approaching.

“Brother Zhao Jie, your aura has grown stronger!”

“Brother, did you obtain any Earth Rank Martial Arts?” asked a disciple of the Yuhua Sect, bombarding with questions, while the curious crowd pricked up their ears.

Earth Rank Martial Arts—that was the stuff of legends.

If Zhao Jie had secured it, he could definitely lead the Yuhua Sect to preside over many other sects in the future.

Perhaps there would even be a chance to challenge a Four-star Sect.

However, Zhao Jie shook his head: “I did not obtain Earth Rank Martial Arts.”

“Then what Grade did you get?”

“High-level Spirit Rank Martial Arts, its power comparable to that of the current top Martial Arts of the Spirit Rank,” Zhao Jie slowly said.

The Martial Arts within Spirit Martial Mountain were relics of the ancient past, immensely powerful and incomparable to the current martial arts.

Many were somewhat disappointed; although martial arts comparable to the top of the Spirit Rank were precious, they were not entirely nonexistent, at least within Three-star Sects some existed.

But Zhao Jie wasn’t too disappointed.

Firstly, finding martial arts depended on chance, and secondly, he was quite satisfied with the martial arts he had acquired.

It wasn’t long after Zhao Jie had come out when Spirit Martial Mountain once again surged with a towering light pillar.

Everyone held their breath and watched intently.

This light pillar was even more robust than the one that preceded Zhao Jie’s appearance, like a giant sun, illuminating all directions.

Such a display seemed to herald the extraordinary nature of the martial arts contained within.

A figure, in flowing white robes and with a composed expression, arrived beside the disciples of the Mu family.

“Brother Mu Chen!” The disciples of the Mu family cheered excitedly.

Seemingly aware of what everyone wanted to ask, Mu Chen said indifferently, “Spiritual-grade top martial arts.”

Spiritual-grade top martial arts were already more powerful than the top martial arts of most sects in the real world, only comparable to the Earth-grade fragments possessed by some top-tier sects.

“Congratulations, Brother Mu Chen!” Many martial artists extended their congratulations, looking to get closer to the Mu family.

Mu Chen gave a faint smile, but his expression changed slightly upon seeing that only Zhao Jie had come out.

It was unexpected that three others had yet to emerge.

Knowing that Spiritual-grade top martial arts were the best beneath the Earth Rank, the fact that there were three still inside caused him a flicker of concern.

“Could Earth Rank Martial Arts really make an appearance?” Mu Chen’s eyes flickered with anticipation.

The Sun Family’s five brothers were also quietly discussing the possibility of Earth Rank Martial Arts.

“Earth Rank Martial Arts are too elusive; they haven’t appeared even once in centuries,” Mu Chen shook his head and turned his gaze towards Spirit Martial Mountain.

Boom!

Spirit Martial Mountain once again shot out dazzling pillars of light, including wisps of rosy dawn.

The surrounding winds blasted violently, as if swords were slashing against the skin, causing searing pain.

Keep in mind that these martial artists were all beings above the Seventh Realm of the Spirit Sea!

Only someone like Ling Fengzi could turn the Qing Feng into such a deadly force.

Indeed, when everyone opened their eyes again, they saw Ling Fengzi’s figure.

Everyone’s eyes burned with eagerness, wondering what kind of martial arts he had obtained.

Even Mu Chen and Zhao Jie looked on, their eyes holding a trace of gravity.

“Spiritual Rank top.” Ling Fengzi spoke coldly, clearly dissatisfied with the result.

But he also knew the chances of Earth Rank Martial Arts appearing were very slim.

“Two people haven’t come out yet.

Do you think any of them could’ve acquired Earth Rank Martial Arts?”

“How come I heard both stem from the same family?”

“My God, that would be terrifying!”

“They’ve been inside so long; maybe they really did get a Supreme Treasure.”

“Hmph!” Ling Fengzi snorted, “The length of time spent inside doesn’t mean anything.

If one doesn’t make a selection, they could stay inside for a long time!”

Everyone fell silent, no longer discussing loudly, but those pairs of eyes were still tightly fixed on Spirit Martial Mountain.

Although the two inside weren’t disciples of their sect or even martial artists from their region, this did not hinder everyone’s anticipation for Earth Rank Martial Arts.

Time slowly trickled by, and Spirit Martial Mountain seemed to have fallen into slumber, no longer making a sound, with only a hazy glow flashing, hinting that people were still inside.

“Damn, it’s been a whole day.

Why haven’t they come out!”

“Damn it, is choosing a martial arts that troublesome?

Or are they too scared to choose!”

A group of people was getting impatient and couldn’t help but complain.

Of course, while they complained, none of them left; in fact, their anticipation grew even more.

Ling Fengzi’s face was sullen, with a cold light flickering in his eyes, while Mu Chen at a distance also didn’t look pleased.

Just then, Spirit Martial Mountain once again surged with light, like a waking Fierce Beast uttering a rumbling sound.

A Sky-reaching Light Pillar, radiating brilliant rosy light and surrounded by golden beams, shone so brilliantly it was dazzling.

“What a terrifying scene, even more intense than Ling Fengzi’s.

Could it really be Earth Rank Martial Arts?” the crowd murmured in low voices.

Ling Fengzi’s complexion worsened, his gaze fixated on that figure, while Mu Chen, not far away, idly played with a folding fan in his hands, his thoughts a mystery.

Light quivered, and the Void turned red as a sword light pierced out from within, flying swiftly towards them.

Whoosh!

Lin Feng, dressed in white surpassing snow, landed on the ground, his face adorned with a confident smile, his Spiritual Power surging like rivers.

“Hmph!” With a cold snort, Ling Fengzi took a step forward, and countless furious winds assaulted them, like millions of swords crying out in unison.

“Earth Rank Martial Arts?” Mu Chen asked uncertainly from not far away.

“Of course!” Lin Feng’s face was full of pride, without any attempt to hide it.

The crowd around them erupted, Earth Rank Martial Arts had truly appeared – this news was explosive!

“Don’t even think about targeting me; you’re not worthy!”

With that, Lin Feng’s gaze deepened, and an extremely powerful Sword Intent surged forth, as if it could tear the heavens and the earth apart.
