Chapter 79: Profound Ice Dragon Soar!
“If you ask me, you should practice your cultivation techniques first before challenging Xiao Yue again.”
Xiao Bai said to the unhappy Su Lingxi.
This was the fifth time Su Lingxi had been sent flying by Xiao Yue.
Although her injuries were not serious each time, the successive failures had made Su Lingxi a little dejected.
However, she had made some progress. From being able to take only one move at the beginning, she could now take three or four.
But there was still a huge gap in strength between them. What Su Lingxi had grasped was only a little bit of combat experience against Xiao Yue.
Five days had passed, and besides a few more injuries, there was no change in Su Lingxi.
“Alright, I admit you have a point this time.”
Su Lingxi silently sat on the ground and began to recall the battles of the past few days.
She couldn’t use the newly bought spiritual technique even once. This was all because Xiao Yue’s strange movement technique had dodged all her skills.
The occasional one or two hits were also painless.
However, her strength had improved. She felt that she only needed to cultivate a little more to break through to the late stage of the Golden Core realm.
After all, Xiao Yue had been set to the peak of the Golden Core realm by her master, Jiang Xianyue. Putting other things aside, the gap of two small realms was difficult to bridge.
Su Lingxi found a quiet place and prepared to meditate and cultivate.
More than ten high-grade spiritual crystals were already prepared. She calmed her mind.
Twenty-four hours passed, and her aura finally stabilized at the late stage of the Golden Core realm.
But this was not enough. She had to learn the Aurora Shattering Shadow.
Only by knowing oneself and the enemy can one win a hundred battles.
“Xiao Yue, show me the Aurora Shattering Shadow.”
Xiao Yue was not only a training partner left by Jiang Xianyue, but she also had a teaching role.
“Yes.”
Xiao Yue took a step forward, and her figure moved, instantly turning into a stream of light. Her figure was like lightning, and brilliant yellow halos appeared around her.
Su Lingxi’s eyes widened. She stared at Xiao Yue’s every move, silently pondering in her heart.
Suddenly, Xiao Yue stopped and explained to Su Lingxi, “The power of this spiritual technique is to comprehend light and shadow, and it condenses a trace of spatial power, so that it can achieve the realm of teleportation when it is cast.”
Of course, this spatial power was far from the spatial power that a Mahayana realm expert could master. It couldn’t even be considered to have touched the threshold.
Hearing Xiao Yue’s explanation, Su Lingxi nodded thoughtfully.
In the following days, Su Lingxi constantly tried to imitate Xiao Yue’s movements.
At the same time, she also began to comprehend the incantation of the Aurora Shattering Shadow.
The core of the Aurora Shattering Shadow was to integrate the movement technique into light and shadow, and at the same time, cultivate a trace of spatial power.
This comprehension process was extremely difficult. No wonder only the personal disciples of the Snowfall Sect could cultivate it.
But no matter how difficult it was, she had to try and start.
Su Lingxi always failed at the beginning. Either her spiritual energy went out of control, or her speed couldn’t keep up.
But she did not give up. After many practices, she could finally barely use a little bit of the shattering shadow.
“No hurry. All things are difficult before they are easy!”
Now, Su Lingxi couldn’t take any shortcuts either, because she had spent all her points.
Now she felt more and more that the requirements her master had mentioned might be the key to defeating Xiao Yue.
Twenty days had passed…
During this time, Su Lingxi had to be beaten by Xiao Yue at least five times a day.
Now, she had memorized Xiao Yue’s moves perfectly. As long as Xiao Yue raised her hand, Su Lingxi knew what skill she was going to use.
From a few rounds, she could now fight for more than a dozen rounds.
Several times, Su Lingxi felt that she had succeeded.
This time, Su Lingxi had recovered again. Her understanding of the Aurora Shattering Shadow had improved a step further.
At the same time, the Ice Heart Art and the Canglan Art had reached the fourth and second levels, respectively.
The fourth level of the Ice Heart Art was not just a simple control of the ice element, but could be transformed into a substantial ice element attack.
Seeing that there were not many days left, Su Lingxi felt that she could not complete this mission.
“Again…”
“You’re still practicing? If this continues, your body won’t be able to take it.” Xiao Bai was finally a little worried about Su Lingxi’s condition this time.
She was afraid that Su Lingxi would go into qi deviation from practicing.
“I have to practice. If I don’t meet the requirements, Master won’t let me go to the Canglan Imperial Capital.”
“If I can’t go, Chuxue will probably be very disappointed in me…”
Whenever she thought of Luo Chuxue, Su Lingxi could always feel her smile in her mind.
It had been a long time since she had seen Luo Chuxue. Su Lingxi really missed her.
“I have to practice. I have to see Chuxue soon.”
“Xiao Yue, let’s go again.”
“Yes.”
Xiao Bai was a little numb watching the two who had flown into the air at the same time.
Xiao Yue still used her familiar moves, and Su Lingxi could already dodge them perfectly.
Su Lingxi tried to fuse the newly learned Aurora Shattering Shadow and the Extreme Cold Flying Shadow. Now, her flashing speed was slightly better than Xiao Yue’s.
As long as she was faster than Xiao Yue, then she would have a chance to hit her.
In the sky, the two’s speed had reached the extreme. From a distance, one could not see the figures of the combatants, only the fluctuations produced by the collision of energies.
“Water Curtain Heaven!”
Su Lingxi seized the opportunity after Xiao Yue had cast her spell. She quickly gathered the water element in her hands, and before long, a circular water curtain was formed, firmly enveloping Xiao Yue!
Xiao Yue quickly dodged to the side, but it was too late. She was still entangled by Su Lingxi’s water-elemental power.
Su Lingxi had long since memorized Xiao Yue’s every move. She had already guessed her intention to run.
The circular water curtain enveloped Xiao Yue. Although it could not cause any damage, it could restrict her movements.
Su Lingxi seized the opportunity again. The Ice Cold Flying Shadow then attacked Xiao Yue in the water curtain.
Xiao Yue cut a hole in the water curtain with an ice blade, but the next second, Su Lingxi’s palm, carrying cold ice spiritual energy, directly slapped her on the back.
Su Lingxi was ecstatic. This was the first time she had successfully hit Xiao Yue with the Ice Cold Flying Shadow.
Xiao Yue was finally pushed back a few steps by Su Lingxi, and her body also began to be surrounded by Su Lingxi’s cold ice spiritual energy.
Seeing that the Ice Cold Flying Shadow’s control was successful, Su Lingxi did not want to miss this opportunity.
Su Lingxi did not dare to be careless. Her palms were facing up, her brows were tightly furrowed, and her aura surged.
Her palms were facing up, and a faint blue cold air rose from her palms.
The water vapor in the air quickly condensed into tiny ice crystals. Under the refraction of the sunlight, they emitted a dazzling light, as if countless tiny blue stars were dancing around her.
Then, the surrounding cold air began to condense and take shape.
A cold ice giant dragon began to form behind Su Lingxi. At this time, cold sweat dripped down Su Lingxi’s face.
Her spiritual energy seemed to have been drained in an instant, and her body trembled slightly, almost reaching its limit.
Su Lingxi took out the Spirit Recovery Pills she had prepared long ago and stuffed them into her mouth like candy.
Roar—!!!
The ice dragon roared at the sky, its voice shaking the four fields. The cold air contained in its voice actually caused a large amount of snow to fall from the surrounding mountain peaks.
“Profound Ice Dragon Soar!”
Su Lingxi shouted coquettishly, and the ice dragon swung its huge body and rushed towards the target.
Wherever it went, it left a long ice mark. The ground instantly cracked, and the flowers, grass, and trees were directly uprooted.
This blow had far exceeded the limit of the Golden Core realm.
