Chapter 5: Self-Destruct

licable surge of strong ambition and a growing sense of fervor in his heart.That is a kind of intense, ultimate confidence.Even if it's just a wooden sword, it's still within the category of "sword".W...Chapter 5: Self-Destruct

Under the illumination of Jian Xin's keen eyesight, Xu Jun immediately realized that this puppet possessed strength and speed far exceeding expectations. {.520.}

Damn it, if this is just a puppet of the second level of tempering bones, I'll devour it alive right now!

Under the illumination of Jianxin's clarity, the puppet's strength shone like a blazing sun in the sky, impossible to conceal.

The force of his charge felt to Xu Jun like Li Keming from the day before - a powerful, cold, and piercing gust.

The peak of tomorrow!

Although Xu Jun didn't know why he was directly assigned to the intensity of the fourth level after the first level, there wasn't a shred of fear in his heart. With a sword in hand, it seemed as if the entire world was under his control.

He drew his sword and thrust.

The True Transmission of the Immortal Alliance, a basic sword technique for Sword Cultivators, the Diagonal Slash.

That's right, this sword technique doesn't even have a grand name. It's simply called "Basic Sword Technique".

But with man and sword as one, this strike, Xu Jun poured all his strength into a single point, landing it perfectly on the front third of the opponent's wooden sword.

Suddenly, the puppet's sword, which was descending like a mountain pressing down, unexpectedly came to a halt.

It was as if time and space had suddenly stopped, the river water had ceased to flow. This unparalleled sword strike, no matter how hard they tried, just couldn't go through.

Although Xu Jun's strength was inferior to his opponent, his swordsmanship was profound. In an instant, he saw through the strengths and weaknesses of the puppet sword technique.

This strike, in the eyes of a martial artist at the peak of 後天 (the innate realm), was severely lacking in power and speed.

That seemingly ordinary sword strike precisely hit the opponent's weakest point.

The amount of water a bucket can hold doesn't depend on the longest plank, but rather on how long the shortest one is.

If there were a long enough and strong enough lever, even a child's strength could move the entire planet.

Although Xu Jun's sword strike wasn't so exaggerated, it was based on the same understanding.

The puppet sheathed its sword and took a step back.

Xu Jun, seizing the opportunity, showed no mercy. He was a puppet, immediately rushing forward and proactively swinging his sword to strike.

The puppet raised its wooden sword, though it was just wood, the sword sliced through the air with a menacing roar, whistling as it went.

However, with a clash of swords, Xu Jun effortlessly parried the opponent's strike. His azure blade surged forward, as if ignoring everything in its path, and stabbed towards the puppet's eyes.

The puppet helplessly retreated another step.

In a single, swift strike, in just a moment's time, this puppet was driven to the corner of the room, with no escape left.

This puppet not only possesses strength comparable to that of a peak-level martial artist in the later stages, but its intelligent system has also collected countless martial arts knowledge from the Immortal Alliance. Under the intelligent operation and allocation, it can skillfully and seamlessly execute these techniques.

So, even when encountering other innate peak martial artists of the same level, they often prevail in battle.

This time in the final exam, five post-heaven peak martial artists from Class One who specialize in studying viscera and organs have already reached this point, but none of them were able to pass the fourth level. This shows just how abnormal this puppet is.

Unless a congenital powerhouse crushes them with overwhelming strength, encountering such puppets of the same rank will drive you to the brink of rage.

But all of this, in front of Xu Jun, was completely exposed.

A puppet is just a puppet, no matter how skillfully it is operated or how rich its experience, it cannot innovate or improve.

Under Xu Junjian's clear-minded reflection, that day Ma Xingkong's sword slashed down like a galloping horse, instantly shattering the puppet's long sword.

Xu Jun used his strength to strike back, thrusting a sword out with all his might.

However, just at that moment, a loud "bang" echoed.

Xu Jun's reaction was super fast, he even took the lead and gave up his attack. His figure slid, like a flash of sword light, dashing backward, and in an instant, he had already stood ten steps away.

And at the same time, the puppet's head exploded, scattering countless strange and wonderful parts all over the floor, a mess.

Xu Jun quietly glanced at it, then suddenly spoke: "This exploded on its own, I have nothing to do with it."

In the monitoring room, Liang Hongwei and the monitoring teacher looked at each other in disbelief. They couldn't believe their eyes.

This puppet, just like that... exploded

What's going on

They all witnessed the entire process with their own eyes. This puppet, which can be said to be the culmination of the Immortal Alliance's Puppetry Technique, not only failed to gain an advantage against a fellow swordsman of the same rank, but also directly exploded.

Could it be that this puppet is angry and embarrassed, which led to this unreliable behavior

But, a puppet, it's just an intelligent puppet. How could it possibly have such rich emotions

These two people were completely baffled.

The supervising teacher wore a bitter expression and said, "Principal Liang, another one is broken. This month's repair costs are definitely going to exceed the budget."

Liang Hongwei frowned slightly and said, "I'll give you a special fund for repairs."

The teacher's eyes softened considerably as they looked back at the screen.

"Principal Liang, has this student already reached the state of oneness with their sword"

"Yes."

"But... people become one with their swords, and they're this powerful"

Liang Hongwei remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "Sword cultivators' methods are unparalleled in ferocity. Once they achieve oneness with their sword, they become invincible at the peak of the postnatal stage for martial artists. It is normal for them to be formidable."

The supervising teacher expressed admiration, saying: “Principal Liang, you are truly knowledgeable and experienced.”

Liang Hongwei nodded slightly, but his heart was filled with unease.

What the heck, I might not be able to achieve "human and sword as one," but it seems... highly unlikely that someone could be this skilled, right!

But, when facing his subordinates, he could no longer think of any other reasons.

However, he was unaware that Xu Jun wasn't just a master of human-sword unity, but also possessed an innate level Sword Heart Clarity.

A sword in one's heart, shining light upon all things.

No matter what tricks or schemes the demons and monsters employ, they cannot escape Xu Jun's heart, which is as clear and sharp as a polished gem.

So, in the fighting arena, he always maintained the upper hand from beginning to end. The puppet had pushed the chips to their limits, but still couldn't find a way out.

A powerful being of high rank, upon encountering it, could swat it away with a single palm strike.

If you meet it on the same level or a lower level, that's your beating.

So, since this puppet was born, it has never encountered such a situation.

Its frantically running system ultimately resulted in an overloaded frequency jump. Before Xu Jun could even make a move, it had already self-destructed.

It's not scary when man and sword are one, but when a clear mind wielding the united sword encounters another who has achieved the same, especially in a battle between equals, it truly becomes an unbeatable cheat code.

You tell me about speed, I'll tell you about realm.

You talk to me about power, I give you the realm.

You talk to me about tactics, but I still talk to you about realm.

If your realm is inferior to mine, a single strike from my blade will reduce you to ashes!

"Open the fifth gate, let him in."

The teacher monitoring exclaimed excitedly, "Yes!"

The next stage is equivalent to the fifth stage of innate.

Although Xu Jun didn't seem to have reached the innate realm, both of them were filled with hope in their hearts.

They want to see what kind of brilliant performance a swordsmanship genius like him would put on when facing a puppet of the innate level.

In the room, a dark door slowly creaked open, revealing a passageway.

Xu Jun silently glanced at the situation, then raised his hand and declared loudly: "Report, I abstain."
