Han Qianshan's expression gradually turned serious upon hearing Ye Chen's words. He could feel Ye Chen's strong determination, and within his tone, there was great confidence.

He knew this was an opponent he could not underestimate!

In the team battle, he didn't underestimate Ye Chen at all, yet he still lost.

Therefore, he must take this individual battle even more seriously. He absolutely cannot lose again!

This is not just about personal dignity.

It's also about the dignity of the Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy, and he, Han Qianshan, is the last line of defense protecting that dignity.

"Swish!"

The domineering blade light poured out from its sheath along with his long knife.

Within the blade light, a burning aura filled the air, and a sea of fire rolled and surged, with the Golden Crow soaring within.

As Han Qianshan's aura and power erupted, Ye Chen also surged.

The integration of four kinds of spiritual martial powers unleashed their strongest might without reservation.

"Crash, crash!"

The sound resembled waves crashing, layer upon layer, as the stacking wave force completed the five layers of power addition!

This stacking wave force was created by Hu Wenhui, a senior instructor at Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, with great utility, and it remains one of Ye Chen's main techniques against enemies to this day.

The cold sword light and the burning blade light intertwined and collided. Although the two had not yet officially made contact, the power emanating from them had already caused intense clashes and collisions.

Around them, it seemed as if countless swordsmen and countless saber-wielders were engaging in a duel, with competing blade and sword shadows clashing ceaselessly.

"Golden Crow Sunset!"

Han Qianshan shouted violently. Suddenly, the overwhelming blade light coalesced, and immediately after, Han Qianshan's figure shot forward to appear before Ye Chen, slicing down with a blade.

The Golden Crow cried out, flames blazing fiercely, as the Golden Crow transformed into a Great Sun, suspended on the tip of Han Qianshan's blade.

Ye Chen's Martial Arts True Eye was activated to the extreme, discerning the weak point of Han Qianshan's blade, and thrusting a sword forward.

Golden Extreme Sky-breaking Sword!

The Celestial Mark Sword penetrated smoothly into the Great Sun suspended at Han Qianshan's blade tip.

Instantly, the domineering power surged through the body of the Celestial Mark Sword, flowing into Ye Chen's palm, trying to rush into Ye Chen's body along his arm!

Inside Ye Chen, the power of spiritual martial integration vibrated, dispelling this force, as the Five Elements Sword Intent swept out from the Celestial Mark Sword.

The Five Elements circulated endlessly, ultimately bringing the Metal Intent, Wood Intent, Fiery Intent, and Earth Intent to their peak in establishing the power of the Water Sword Intent!

Sea-covering Sword!

"Boom!"

In an instant, it was as if an endless sea surged and billowed from Ye Chen's Celestial Mark Sword.

Han Qianshan's Golden Crow Sunset was thus neutralized by Ye Chen.

Moreover, the speed at which Ye Chen's sword techniques transformed was unbelievably fast. With a sweep of the Celestial Mark Sword, countless Sword Qi entangled like green vines, blocking all of Han Qianshan's escape routes.

Han Qianshan swung the long knife in his hand around his body, the blade aura forming a barrier of light enveloping his body.

Ye Chen leaped high, descending from above. The blazing Sword Intent erupted, as the Heaven-Burning Sword was suddenly unleashed.

"Boom!"

This sword covered Han Qianshan's protective light shield from all directions, shattering the barrier.

Han Qianshan split the sea of fire open with a wide avenue with a single knife stroke, charging towards Ye Chen through this passage, swinging his blade horizontally.

"Nine Stars of the Golden Crow!"

This blade released nine shadowy figures of the Golden Crow, these figures surrounded by roaring flames, lunging towards Ye Chen.

Ye Chen furrowed his brows, golden light flashing beneath his feet, the Heaven-Ascending Step combined with the Vertical Earth Golden Light was unleashed, and the Martial Arts True Eye predicted the trajectory of these Golden Crow shadows, allowing Ye Chen to weave rapidly through them, shattering each with successive sword strikes.

Thunderous explosions sounded continuously, shaking the heavens and earth.

After resolving Han Qianshan's Nine Stars of the Golden Crow, Ye Chen pushed the Heaven-Ascending Step to its utmost once again, appearing instantly on Han Qianshan's left side.

The Celestial Mark Sword was raised high.

A dense array of Sword Qi emerged instantly around Ye Chen's body.

"Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin!"

Ye Chen shouted loudly, as all the Sword Qi howled, converging onto the Celestial Mark Sword, transforming into an immense sword aura, slashing towards Han Qianshan above.

Han Qianshan's expression was stern.

The current Ye Chen was much stronger than when he last faced him at War Soul Mountain.

Previously, Ye Chen had to rely on Ouyang Xiaoling's Tier Four Ultimate Earth Spirit Seal to unleash such a powerful force.

Now, Ye Chen was able to unleash this heart-palpitating sword strike relying solely on himself.

Han Qianshan clearly understood what was happening.

In such a short time, Ye Chen's Martial Dao cultivation and Spirit Master cultivation couldn't have advanced, which meant Ye Chen's spiritual martial integration had improved!

The higher the degree of spiritual martial integration, the stronger the power naturally becomes.

In fact, that was indeed the case.

The power of Ye Chen's Extreme Celestial Spirit Seal, harmonized with his sword essence, Qi Blood, and Celestial Demon Qi, has now reached sixty percent integration!

In addition, during the deduction of the Five Elements Yin Yang Sword, his understanding of the sword deepened, resulting in enhanced sword technique potency!

Facing Ye Chen's Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin.

Han Qianshan's expression tensed, and the next moment, the extremely hot aura around him transformed into an icy coldness.

Chill filled the air.

Han Qianshan's knife, and Han Qianshan himself, seemed to have turned into an iceberg.

This was precisely Han Qianshan's other ultimate skill, the Snow Mountain Saber Technique.

With a single slash, it was like cutting through a vast snowy plain, the ice freezing everything, even the immense Sword Qi unleashed by Ye Chen was covered under a layer of ice amidst this chill!

"Boom!"

Blade and sword clashed again.

Sword Qi shattered.

The surrounding ice also burst apart.

Ye Chen's body flew backwards.

"Icebound Ten Thousand Miles!"

Han Qianshan shouted violently, unleashing countless blade lights.

Ye Chen, flying backward, twisted his waist and abdomen, harnessing strength from thin air to stabilize himself, then used the speed of the Heaven-Ascending Step to evade the streams of blade light slashing towards him from Han Qianshan.

He tried several times to approach Han Qianshan closely.

However, Han Qianshan's blade lights were omnipresent. Although these lights didn't strike Ye Chen, they didn't dissipate after missing their target, instead transforming into layers of ice.

In a blink of an eye, the space was filled with ice, as if it had truly been frozen solid.

"Ye Chen, I know your speed is fast, but now, this place, is my realm. No matter how fast you are, it's useless. You've lost the advantage of speed. Next, your defeat is inevitable."

Han Qianshan stared at Ye Chen, a trace of pride emerging in his expression!

He was the top prodigy of the Great Zhou Dynasty Martial Arts Academy, even though it was now proven that Ye Chen's talent far exceeded his, talent only represented potential. As of now, Ye Chen still couldn't surpass him!

Ye Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.

Golden Crow Saber Technique.

Snow Mountain Saber Technique.

Both also utilized the power of yin and yang.

In Ye Chen's mind, the scene of Han Qianshan switching from the Golden Crow Saber Technique to the Snow Mountain Saber Technique flashed, that instantaneous change in energy aura gave him much insight.

"So that's how it is."

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Ye Chen's mouth.

A single thought, and everything suddenly became clear.

The thin barrier blocking his path was finally pierced!

The power of the Five Elements Sword Intent began circulating at an incredible speed.

The Yin Yang Sword Intent was thus born!

Around Ye Chen's body, the balance of yin and yang swirled, and the aura of extreme yin and extreme yang surged, elevating his Primordial Wheel in the Dantian, the Extreme Celestial Spirit Seal in the consciousness sea, and his sword body to a whole new level.

Han Qianshan felt this most directly.

Ye Chen... actually comprehended the technique of yin and yang coexistence during battle!

At this moment, the corner of Han Qianshan's mouth couldn't help twitching.

Ye Chen...

This guy is just a freak!

Thinking he was surely going to win, now it seems even more troublesome.

Immersed in the ecstasy of yin and yang balance, Ye Chen displayed a supremely elated smile, saying, "Han Qianshan, the battle between us now truly begins!"
