My Master Knows It All

In the entire history of the Indistinct Sect, no one has ever passed the ninth level of the Immortal Bridge Period.

To pass the ninth level, the minimum cultivation realm is the Core Formation Stage, and even then, there's only one person! Right?

Cao Zhen was truly speechless. Is this Sky-reaching Gate really the checkpoint that all the genius disciples of the Indistinct Sect wish to challenge? Why does this gate feel so unreliable?

Previously, I was forcibly sent away, so be it, but in this level, I hadn't even moved, and I was directly sent to the ninth level?

You're just playing tricks on people!

Cao Zhen arrived at the ninth level with a face full of helplessness, looking at the elder formed by condensation of a void shadow appearing before him, not initiating an attack, just standing there.

Having entered the ninth level, he couldn't possibly continue fighting.

The gatekeeper of the ninth level looked at Cao Zhen and slowly said, "Draw your sword and make your move."

Cao Zhen drew his sword; might as well throw the match, but he couldn't just not move at all, he'd act a bit and then admit defeat.

The opponent, seeing that Cao Zhen had no intention of attacking first, manifested a longsword in his hands and instantly sprinted toward Cao Zhen like a flash of lightning across the void, appearing immediately in front of him.

Cao Zhen's eyes widened instantly. Such fast speed—isn't this the Immortal Bridge Period's assessment? But this speed—should there be such speed during the Immortal Bridge Period?

This speed—it's Core Formation Stage, right.

No need to throw the match anyway; I'd be eliminated without trying.

Cao Zhen watched as the sharp sword blade gleamed with coldness as it thrust toward his neck, nearly instinctively swinging his iron sword in defense.

The thrust coming in was overwhelmingly fierce, making him forget to throw the match.

Next moment, a crisp sound was heard.

Cao Zhen felt a terrifying force strike, so strong it forced him to retreat uncontrollably, each step leaving a deep footprint on the ground, with five or six steps before stabilizing.

Full of amazement, he looked at the shadowy figure opposite him.

Is this what the Immortal Bridge Period can face?

His physical strength was certainly not what the Immortal Bridge could possess; perhaps due to his re-cultivation, though his previous physical strength was lost, each time he cultivated the technique and his cultivation base improved, his physical strength also received substantial enhancement far beyond his cultivation realm.

Even though he was currently at six Immortal Bridge stages, he was sure no Immortal Bridge Period cultivator had a stronger body than him, not even those who had just entered the Core Formation Stage.

Yet now, the force from this shadow was stronger than his!

After the shadow successfully struck with one sword, it seemed to notice the astonishment in Cao Zhen's eyes and didn't immediately launch another attack, instead retreating slightly and speaking softly: "Judging by your expression, you don't know what this level's assessment entails.

Given that, let me tell you. My power comes from you. I gained your physical strength and mana by probing through the previous levels, especially the immediate one, then engage you with one and a half times your strength.

Despite not having acted in the previous level, it wasn't difficult to probe your physical strength and mana.

It's precisely because your physical strength and mana were probed that you passed the previous level, thereby entering this level."

One and a half times one's own.

Cao Zhen finally understood why the speed and force of the shadow before him were so quick, neither resembling the Immortal Bridge Period—it turned out it was because of himself.

One and a half times his own intensity; this would be interesting.

Under such circumstances, no need to throw the match; he wanted to see how strong being one and a half times greater truly was.

After explaining once more, the opponent once again drew his sword and lunged at Cao Zhen.

Cao Zhen immediately focused, channeling mana throughout his body into his hands, causing the iron sword in them to quiver slightly, blocking in front of him to resist the opponent's offensive with effort.

As the sword blades clashed, a crisp sound was emitted, fire sparked, making the space appear somewhat brighter than before.

Sharp as lightning, sword qi surged as if the heavens and earth lost color.

With another clash of swords, a sensation akin to a gigantic mountain weighing down was felt, causing him to uncontrollably retreat.

Cao Zhen furrowed his brow, muscles tense, took a deep breath, condensed his inner mana to its limit, feet grounded, body leaning forward slightly.

Watching the opponent's sword come stabbing again, he suddenly stepped forward, his body soaring like a dragon, iron sword swinging, transforming like a silver serpent swiftly stabbing toward the opponent's neck.

Yet the shadow's speed was even faster, promptly swinging the sword.

For a moment, the two figures continuously weaved through, intertwining sword moves, with sword qi running rampant.

Whenever they swung their swords, sword whistles and wind sounds accompanied.

Light resembling the stars; shadow akin to an illusory dream.

Both of their swordsmanship changed unpredictably, seemingly hundreds of swords appearing in the air simultaneously, entwining into a cluster, emitting a deafening clash.

"Shu..."

Then, the shadow's sword slashed over, and although Cao Zhen dodged to the side at the first moment, the sword qi still sliced through his robe, tearing open a slit.
