Raise your hand and catch it!
This scene was completely unexpected, even Cen Yueyue couldn't help but feel a twitch in her eyelid, for at the moment Jiang Feng entered, the Sword Qi and cultivation within him erupted to their peak.
The Sword Qi gathered Spiritual Energy and returned to its source, with a thunderous momentum, piercing straight towards the face without a hint of mercy. Anyone unaware might think there was enmity between the two, even standing aside, Cen Yueyue was startled by the sight.
Even she couldn't withstand this move head-on, but...
"Hmm?"
The dozing old man raised his hand and caught it.
Though incredibly fast, in the eyes of others it seemed like slow motion. The terrifyingly sharp and howling Sword Qi almost destroyed the entire facade, yet there was not the slightest excess energy leaking out from such a horrifying action.
The Sword Qi was caught, its residual force collided with something as soft as cotton and was completely dissipated, struggling continuously in the old man's hand, even causing the surrounding air to distort. Yet this terrifying commotion only made the other party sit up from their lounge chair.
With a hint of confusion in his eyes, he glanced at Jiang Feng, then at Cen Yueyue standing beside him, and with a pinch of his fingers, the Sword Qi was directly dispersed on the spot.
"Swordmaster Peak's third-generation disciple Jiang Feng greets Elder Ge."
With a smile on his face.
He voluntarily stepped forward a few paces, bowing slightly with his hands clasped in a very standard junior's salute. His expression showed neither embarrassment nor guilt, as if the previous sword strike had never happened.
Cen Yueyue glanced a few times at the indifferent old man sitting in the chair, her brow furrowed slightly, roughly guessing why Jiang Feng had suddenly made a move, and followed suit with a junior's salute.
"Greetings, Senior."
Ignoring the so-called mundane rites, at their level, they hardly cared about such things. Earlier, when Jiang Feng's sword swung over, his eyes already sparkled with interest, and after meticulous sensing, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good, very good."
"Far superior to those little ones, not only mastering the form but also capturing a bit of spirit. Sword Intent mixed with Daoist Skill, though somewhat disjointed, still shows considerable insight."
"Learned quite well, indeed. A third-generation disciple of Swordmaster Peak, it seems you are the disciple selected by Xiao Liuer. Very good, very good. Judging by your bone age, you should only be around twenty; let this old man have a good look..."
His face showed no blame, and his tone was filled with curiosity and surprise. In a blink, he appeared before Jiang Feng, catching him off guard, examining him up and down, even causing a slight tremor in his Divine Soul. After all, from the moment Swordmaster Peak reopened its Mountain Gate after many years, they immediately announced the successor.
Anyone would want to see with their own eyes who exactly this successor is and what capabilities they possess, including this Elder Ge, who thought Liu Tangxi's decision was too hasty and hadn't taken that so-called successor seriously. After all, three years ago, when he heard this news, Jiang Feng was still at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and reaching Foundation Establishment at seventeen wasn't anything remarkable.
But the second time he heard about the successor of Swordmaster Peak, it turned out the person had already stepped into the Core Formation Realm and even shattered the physical body of the grandson of the current Sect Leader of Xuanyin Sect, Xuan Yinzi, while Liu Tangxi crippled the two scoundrels Jiu He and Xuan Xiaozi. This level of advancement was simply unbelievable.
Without hesitation, he directly reached out, not giving Jiang Feng any chance to refuse, grabbing his wrist. This scene inevitably made Cen Yueyue a bit nervous, taking a step back and hiding behind her man, precisely when the old man's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Mid-grade Core Formation, mid-grade Core Formation!"
"According to the news from the sect, you were supposed to have broken through to the Core Formation Stage half a year ago. How did you advance so rapidly in just half a year, and with such a solid foundation, without any sign of wavering, as steady as a rock?"
"Even your physical form is top-notch. If I remember correctly, this should be the Ancient Intent Six Forms True Body of Heavenly Power Peak. I didn't expect even Dan boy would entrust such a thing to you. Your fortuitous opportunities are truly..."
Spitting enthusiasm.
Yes, Jiang Feng had already reached mid-grade Core Formation.
In the path of cultivation, one cannot rush things, but when the flesh and Spiritual Energy within become too abundant, causing a massive burden on the body, breaking through appropriately is a rational behavior. Utilizing the pressure and motivation generated by breaking through can significantly deplete excess internal force, expanding one's own capacity; this was the method he used to ease his physical burden.
He comprehended all this on his own.
Since joining Swordmaster Peak, Liu Tangxi never taught him any additional techniques, especially in cultivation aspects, leaving him completely to his own devices. Unless Jiang Feng's chosen path was blatantly incorrect or harmful to his body, she never intervened.
The arduous path of cultivation granted him exceptionally profound comprehension abilities, and his battle experience and control over his body far surpassed his current realm. Logically, even if he were to rashly consume Elixirs now, he wouldn't suffer significant side effects. Coupled with the remnants of flesh and Spiritual Energy from Xuan Xiaozi within him, spurring from the insights of several recent fierce battles, he already conceived the idea of breaking through.
As for the opportunity, it was naturally through Dual Cultivation with Cen Yueyue.
Though their Dual Cultivation didn't involve sharing a bed like some fox spirits, these two prodigies each had their own unique methods. By training together with Cen Yueyue each night, following each other's cultivation technique, purifying the body's impurities with Fire-refining, and coupled with all those fierce battles before, finally.
He broke through very calmly.
Yes, it was that sort of situation where the two of them operated their cultivation technique, fell asleep hugged together, and then woke up foggy-headed the next morning to find themselves at mid-grade Core Formation. He wasn't surprised because he felt it was only natural.
