Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled

Chapter 476 - 472: First Trial Reward, Sword Intent Body

Just when Xia Feng thought the first trial was over, a massive Sword Intent suddenly descended from the core territory, directly rushing into everyone’s bodies.

Xia Feng instinctively prepared to activate the Infinite Divine Technique to resist this inexplicable Sword Intent.

Then he heard the voice of the Holy Sword Elder resounding from midair again.

"Calm your mind and spirit, this is the reward you deserve for passing the first trial."

Xia Feng hesitated for a moment, seeing the ecstatic expressions of the people around him, he no longer resisted the Sword Intent pouring into his body.

The Sword Intent pierced through the Tianchong acupoint, traveling along his Eight Extraordinary Meridians within his body.

Wherever the Sword Intent traveled, his meridians and acupoints widened significantly.

Xia Feng estimated in his mind that it took about fifteen minutes for the Sword Intent to travel around his body once, and each time it did, his meridians widened a bit more.

The widened meridians could mobilize or absorb Divine Power more quickly, making his future cultivation faster.

Xia Feng was secretly delighted. Since he practiced so many Great Dao, his demand for Divine Power was great, so having his meridians widened and strengthened would definitely benefit his future cultivation.

He glanced around, seemingly wanting to see if others’ Sword Intent body reinforcement was the same as his.

With that glance, he noticed the difference.

All those inheritors who didn’t endure for an hour had disappeared from the central plaza.

And those who endured an hour seemed to receive only fifteen minutes of Sword Intent body reinforcement, just enough time to travel around their body once.

Those who endured for two hours received half an hour of Sword Intent body reinforcement, and those for three hours received an hour.

The inheritors who emerged early looked at those still receiving the inheritance with both envy and jealousy in their hearts.

Xia Feng estimated his own time in the Sword Pool, which was almost four hours, and wondered how long the Holy Sword Elder would give him for Sword Intent body reinforcement.

As he was lost in thought, the Holy Sword Elder in midair cast a glance at him and said in a low voice, "You dealt with the Blood-colored Sword Dragon, so naturally you’ll be given more time."

"You have an hour of reinforcement time. Comprehend the Sword Intent well, for it is something the Holy Sword Divine Emperor deliberately left for future generations."

Xia Feng was excited, calming his mind and looking inwardly; his Divine Soul began to wander along with the Sword Intent in his body, seemingly wanting to chase after it.

When Li Qingyu finished her reinforcement, she heard the Holy Sword Elder mention that Xia Feng had a full hour of reinforcement time.

Having just received the Sword Intent reinforcement, she naturally knew it was a good thing, but unfortunately, the time was too short.

If she had more time, she might have directly broken through to the Celestial God Realm.

But now she ran out of time, and even Li Qingxue and the other two were still receiving reinforcement, not to mention that hated boy had a whole hour.

Li Qingyu’s eyes turned red with jealousy, biting her back teeth hard, a trace of Sword Qi gathering in her hand, seemingly wanting to attack the three and interrupt their reinforcement comprehension.

Worried that she couldn’t handle them alone, she turned to the people behind her to incite them: "Are you really willing to let those two loose cultivators trample on you?"

"You are all geniuses from various families. If it’s known that in this Secret Realm you couldn’t even match a country bumpkin, how will you face others afterward?"

These words resonated with some people.

Li Qingxue had stayed in the Lower Realm for so long, and upon returning, was directly treading on many geniuses.

Many elders couldn’t help but murmur at home, saying that Goddess Qingxue achieved so much even in the desolate Lower Realm.

These geniuses, who didn’t cherish the good environment of the Divine Domain, were even slower in cultivation than a Divine Maiden from the Lower Realm, which was utterly disgraceful.

These geniuses were almost about to resent Li Qingxue, who was stepping on them.

Now, in the Holy Sword Secret Realm, they were once again trampled by this country bumpkin and her followers, deepening their resentment.

Liu Yu hesitated for a moment before he couldn’t help but advise, "They have extraordinary talent, we indeed are no match, so why..."

Before he could finish, someone beside him began to taunt.

"Oh, is the Young Master of the Liu Family admitting defeat?"

"Is it because you can’t marry Goddess Qingyu, so you’re considering allying with Goddess Qingxue?"

"A mere country bumpkin isn’t worth such effort. Besides, there’s a rumor that Goddess Qingxue is already married in the Lower Realm, even if you want to ally, you should think it over."

Liu Yu’s expression turned ugly, he hadn’t thought of so many things.

Who spread the rumor that the Liu Family was going to ally with the Li Family? They clearly had no such intention, yet now various opinions were putting them in an awkward position.

Li Qingyu’s expression turned momentarily grim, as she was the one who spread the rumor, intending to use the Liu Family as a stepping stone, making Liu Yu submit to her so she could use the Liu Family’s power.

But now it seemed she had shot herself in the foot, as Liu Yu was unexpectedly obtuse.

Quick thoughts flashed in her mind, then she glanced at the three still receiving the inheritance and couldn’t help but urge.

"Stop discussing, the more you delay, the more reinforcement they receive, and it’ll surely affect the subsequent inheritance."

Hearing this, the surrounding people immediately stopped arguing, angrily gripping their Sword Formulas as they rushed toward the three.

Li Qingxue received the biggest blow; it seemed she, as a Li Family member, performed so outstandingly, would surely be favored by the Holy Sword Divine Emperor later.

Unfortunately, when the Sword Qi landed on them, it seemed like a stone sinking into the sea, without any feedback or reaction.

Li Qingyu, anxious, once again gripped a transparent bead in her hand, seemingly wanting to hurl it onto Li Qingxue amid the chaos.

This transparent bead contained the Spiritual Power of a Third Grade Celestial God Realm.

If it hit Li Qingxue, it would surely cause a mind storm, interrupting her Sword Intent reinforcement.

Before Li Qingyu could throw the bead, the Holy Sword Elder from above glanced down.

"The Sword Intent body reinforcement is a rule of the inheritance grounds; all who violate the rules will be punished."

After speaking, he waved his sleeve, and those causing trouble instantly felt the benefits brought by the previous Sword Intent reinforcement gradually disappearing.

The widened meridians and gained Sword Dao cultivation seemed to vanish as if they never existed, dissipating within their bodies.
