"What… what is this?"

Yang Huanzhi was startled when he saw the Sword Soul of Ten Directions Annihilation. The Sword Soul floated lightly in mid-air, looking no different from a ghost in legends.

"My Sword Soul."

Ling Feng scrutinized the Sword Soul from top to bottom, revealing a satisfied expression. According to the original pace, it would have taken several years for the Sword Soul of Ten Directions Annihilation to fully awaken, and reaching its current level would have taken ten or even several decades.

Absorbing a drop of Heavenly God's Tears caused the Sword Soul of Ten Directions Annihilation to grow immediately, which was an unexpected delight.

Upon slightly sensing the abilities of the Sword Soul, Ling Feng was even more overjoyed. This Sword Soul actually possessed the capability to independently control Ten Directions Annihilation in battle, which, in a sense, was like a part of Ling Feng himself.

Not only that, but Ten Directions Annihilation had also grasped almost the complete Heavenly Punishment Sword Technique, aside from the three moves Ling Feng mastered: Leaving Fire Burning Sky, Earth Water Breaking Army, and Kunlun Prison Breaking.

Additionally, it mastered: Ten Thousand Trees Wall (Wood Element), Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin (Gold Element), Ice Sealing Absolute Blade (Ice Element), Qiankun Xunfeng (Wind Element), and Thunderclap (Thunder Attribute) — these five forms of the Heavenly Punishment Sword Technique.

According to the information conveyed by the Sword Soul, there were still two final forms of the Heavenly Punishment Sword Technique, which were the true killing moves and the essence of the Heavenly Punishment Sword Technique.

Purely in terms of combat capability, this Sword Soul of Ten Directions Annihilation could almost rival an Initial-stage Human Emperor. Coupled with the terrifying power of the Heavenly Punishment Sword Technique, it definitely has the strength to counter a Human Emperor.

No wonder the Sky Patrol Clan coveted the Heavenly Weapon of the Heavenly Dao Clan so much. Once a Human Dao Heavenly Weapon awakened a Sword Soul, it practically doubled the master's strength!

"From today on, I'll call you Little White."

Ling Feng thought for a moment and, seeing the all-white figure of the Sword Soul of Ten Directions Annihilation, casually gave it a rather catchy name.

Perhaps due to its recent awakening, the Sword Soul's expression was still somewhat dazed. It simply bowed slightly to Ling Feng, saying, "Thank you, Master, for granting me a name!"

"Good!"

Ling Feng laughed out loud. "You can return to Ten Directions Annihilation now. If there's a need, I'll summon you!"

"Yes, Master!"

Little White nodded, its figure becoming ghostly before quickly merging into Ten Directions Annihilation and disappearing without a trace.

Ling Feng was secretly delighted. With the power of Little White, he now had another means to counter Human Emperor-level opponents, in addition to the Beast Soul Fusion with Despicable Donkey and Chaos Rebirth.

After all, both of these secret techniques involve squeezing Despicable Donkey and himself, respectively. In contrast, the Sword Soul Little White came with almost no cost.

"I didn't expect Murong Qianjun to bring me such a pleasant surprise!"

Ling Feng squinted and smiled, feeling more confident about exploring the secret realm mentioned by Lady Zhu Qu.

…

The night passed quickly, and the arrival of the next day's sunlight announced the advent of an important day.

The Tianlan Sea Token Competition!

Early in the morning, Ling Feng slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing within them, and a powerful sensation coursing through his entire being like electricity.

In one night, Ling Feng not only consolidated his Ninth Layer of Divine Origin Realm, but also refined the Fire Seed of Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Flame, undoubtedly elevating his strength to a higher level.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

A series of urgent knocks came from the door, followed by Yang Huanzhi's loud voice exclaiming, "Boss Ling, Boss Ling, it's about time. The Tianlan Sea Token Competition is about to start!"

Ling Feng shook his head, opened the door, glanced at Yang Huanzhi in a speechless manner, and said, "You! You already have a token anyway!"

"Heh heh, I might not be competing for a token, but I know Boss Ling is going! Once you make a move, the competition is bound to be thrilling!"

Yang Huanzhi said with a smiling face.

"…"

Ling Feng rolled his eyes and chuckled, "Alright, go and get Yan'er, then let's set off."

Ling Feng touched his nose. Although he had some disputes with the Murong Family, with Yang Shuzi stepping in, his participation in the Tianlan Sea Token Competition couldn't be questioned by the Murong Family.

After all, their announcement stated that this competition was open to all geniuses from the Tianlan Sea Domain, as long as they were under forty years old.

Soon, the three of them made some brief preparations and left the Martial Spirit Pavilion.

Yang Huanzhi enthusiastically shared the information he had gathered in the Deserted City regarding the key competitors in the Tianlan Sea Token Competition, explaining them to Ling Feng in detail.

This guy really had the knack for making friends wherever he went.

"Oh, Boss Ling, there's one more person you must pay special attention to. His name is Di Xuan, exactly forty years old this year. He cultivated his way up to the Ninth Layer of the Divine Origin Realm by himself, and after a serendipitous event, he broke through to the Initial-stage Human Emperor! He's truly an exceptional talent among the Inner Sea geniuses!"

"Of course, there's more. He's adept at the way of the Sword Array, often killing enemies in an instant. Although he just recently ascended to Human Emperor, several seasoned Human Emperors have already fallen to him."

Ling Feng nodded slightly, understanding Yang Huanzhi's point.

Though he had a Despicable Donkey, it was obvious he wouldn't simply toss his Demon Pet into the competition. He still had to rely on his own strength.

As they spoke, the group arrived at the venue for the Tianlan Sea Token Competition.
