City Lord Shi flew into the air, his robes billowing without wind, rustling loudly. A powerful wave of Origin Power, like a surging flood, slowly emanated from him.
"Great Jade Swordplay, Burning Jade and Stone Together!"
With a roar, the Great Jade Sword in his hand burst forth with intense light. A powerful wave of Origin Power surged on the sword body. Immediately after, the Origin Power rapidly condensed towards the sword tip. In just the blink of an eye, the light on the Great Jade Sword body dimmed, while a fist-sized, yet extremely brilliant, light spot appeared at the sword tip.
That light spot was filled with a rather terrifyingly sharp fluctuation, as if all the Origin Power in his body had condensed onto this single light spot.
The light spot trembled, emitting ripples of Origin Power, causing the Heaven and Earth Origin Power around City Lord Shi to somewhat collapse.
Zi Yue's expression changed, and she quickly shouted a reminder, "Junior Brother Lin Yun, be careful! My father's sword technique has reached the level of a high-grade martial art."
"A high-grade martial art!"
Lin Yun also became slightly serious. Seventh to ninth grade were high-grade martial arts, and his strongest was only fifth grade at the moment.
"Double Heavenly Sword Formation!"
Lin Yun leaped into the air, and at the same time, four more transparent flying swords shot out. One flying sword landed beneath his feet, carrying him as he floated in the air. The other three flew towards City Lord Shi, transforming into a sword formation again, just like the previous three swords.
The two sword formations surrounded City Lord Shi, forming two massive sword energy barriers.
At this moment, the light spot on City Lord Shi's sword transformed into an extremely powerful beam of Origin Power, shooting towards Lin Yun.
The six flying swords frantically twisted and killed, hundreds and thousands of mental sword energies converging together, colliding with the beam of Origin Power.
Buzz... The Origin Power fluctuations caused by the collision shook the entire sky above Flame City. Many Core Formation Realm experts sensed it, and their gazes all turned towards the City Lord's Mansion.
"Who is fighting the City Lord?"
"When did an expert comparable to the City Lord appear in Flame City!"
Many people were curious and greatly surprised!
The City Lord was the strongest person in Flame City. Anyone who could fight him must have also entered the Creation Three Realms.
Xia Wanjin and Yan Xuan immediately sensed that it was Lin Yun from the aura of the Origin Power and mental power fluctuations.
They were both shocked. How long had it been? Lin Yun had already become strong enough to contend with the City Lord.
After one strike! Calm was quickly restored.
Inside the City Lord's Mansion, Lin Yun and City Lord Shi descended from the air.
City Lord Shi took a deep look at Lin Yun, a hint of loneliness flashing in his eyes.
"Indeed, the waves behind push the waves ahead!"
He sighed, then said irritably, "You brat, you don't need me to put pressure on you."
"City Lord, you are too modest. Your last strike was still very strong. I did feel a little pressure," Lin Yun said quite seriously. The last strike just now almost hit him. Although even if it had hit, it might not have been able to break through his golden protective energy.
"You!" City Lord Shi almost vomited blood again. That was his desperate ultimate move. Even a Shapeshifting Realm expert might not be able to withstand it.
"Thank you, City Lord. I have benefited greatly from this battle and am more confident in breaking through to the Shapeshifting Realm. When I break through, we can spar again."
Lin Yun cupped his hands in thanks, a smile on his face.
The rewards from the City Lord's task were good. He could potentially exploit this opportunity multiple times.
"No need, I'm going into seclusion next."
City Lord Shi immediately refused. He already felt a lot of pressure this time. Fighting again after breaking through would be completely asking for abuse.
"By the way, City Lord, your Jade Shattering Swordplay just now was truly amazing. This junior would like to learn it. I wonder if you could teach it to me? Please feel free to state any conditions. If I can meet them, I will definitely agree."
Lin Yun said with burning eyes.
A seventh-grade martial art, it was estimated that only City Lord Shi had one in the entire Flame City.
He had also asked Xuan Su to help him search, but they couldn't even find a fifth-grade martial art, let alone sixth or seventh grade.
City Lord Shi looked at him in confusion, "Aren't you a spear user? Are you also interested in swords?"
"Don't bite off more than you can chew!"
Although Lin Yun used flying swords, their essence was the application of mental power.
Generally, martial arts experts only cultivated one weapon.
"I just happen to have a spear and practice with it. I'm not picky about weapons; I can use anything. My martial path has no limitations!"
Lin Yun said quite freely.
In fact, that was the case. To learn martial arts, he just needed to set up tasks and grind them repeatedly. He didn't need to bite off more than he could chew. As long as he spent the time, he could specialize in everything.
Moreover, during the tower battles he experienced before, he obtained a medium-grade sword talent. With this foundation, learning sword techniques would yield twice the results with half the effort.
"Dad, don't look at Junior Brother Lin Yun with the eyes you use for ordinary people. Have you ever seen anyone his age achieve such high accomplishments in both martial arts and mental power?"
"My junior brother learns everything instantly. Whether you want to teach him or not, just be straightforward and give a clear answer."
Zi Yue suddenly interrupted. Regarding her father's ultimate technique, she didn't dare to ask her father to teach her, so she could only mention Lin Yun's talent to create some momentum for Lin Yun.
"You, ah, a daughter is truly a loss when she grows up."
City Lord Shi glared at Zi Yue. Today's little cotton jacket wasn't just a little drafty; it was drafty on all sides.
"Although this sword technique barely reaches the high-grade level, it is still a unique technique of my Shi family. I generally wouldn't teach it to ordinary people. However, your relationship with Zi Yue is unusual, and I can see that this girl has feelings for you. If you agree to marry Zi Yue, I will teach it to you."
City Lord Shi looked at Lin Yun quite seriously and said.
He already admired Lin Yun greatly, especially after personally experiencing Lin Yun's talent and potential just now, concluding that Lin Yun would surely become famous throughout the world in the future.
Helping such a talent was an investment.
Moreover, there was the relationship with his daughter; he had to arrange things early.
"Ah, Dad, why are you bringing this up? If you want to pass it on, just pass it on. Why drag me into it?"
Zi Yue's pretty face flushed red as she lowered her head and pouted, but inwardly she was cheering... Dad, well done! Junior Brother Lin Yun was becoming more and more outstanding, and she also wanted to secure him early.
"How about it? My Zi Yue isn't bad-looking. You'll essentially get a beautiful wife and a seventh-grade sword technique for free!"
City Lord Shi completely ignored Zi Yue and continued looking at Lin Yun.
"If Senior Sister Zi Yue is willing, I have no objections!" Lin Yun showed his white teeth, looking completely innocent.
The mission to capture Zi Yue was complete; he had won the beauty's heart. Naturally, Lin Yun wouldn't do something like flirting and then not following through.
Marry her, then marry her. Who said he could only marry one! "Zi Yue, what do you say?" City Lord Shi looked over, waiting for his daughter's response.
"Oh, I'll just listen to Dad's arrangements!"
Zi Yue let out a coquettish cry, her heart pounding, and ran out with a red face.
"Haha, then it's settled!"
City Lord Shi laughed heartily, feeling extremely pleased.
"Come, I'll pass on the Jade Shattering Swordplay to you now."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yun quickly created a mission.
Mission: Obtain a seventh-grade sword technique. Reward: High-grade Spiritual Treasure, Azure Jade Sword!
