Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Chapter 276: Saint Freya School Festival (Act 3) Kendo Array

"At that time, I was young and didn't know the dangers. Fortunately, I met the senior who showed his sword intention."

"My ancestors gave me the essence of the sword, and that's how I was able to achieve Taixu."

"Five hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye, and today I have finally mastered the sword technique."

"Swordsmanship enables me to see the world, and the whole world is in my sight!"

After saying this, Li Suchang’s aura was finally revealed without concealment - the entry-level peak of the swordsmanship universe rules!

Jiang Ming looked slightly surprised, but soon calmed down. Not only did he teach her the sword move, but he also helped her comprehend the cosmic rules of swordsmanship with the help of the [Ultimate] true meaning in his body.

However, even for Jiang Ming himself, his understanding of the rules of the swordsmanship universe was only at the late entry level. How did Li Suchang do it?

Five hundred years passed in the blink of an eye, and today I have just mastered the sword technique.

Jiang Ming looked at Otto on the left again and guessed: "You put her body into the dormant chamber, but her consciousness is not asleep?"

"As expected of you, you figured it out right away."

Otto smiled and nodded.

"I originally wanted to put her to sleep under the order of Mr. Black Robe. I explained to her the concept of sleeping and how she would wake up after 500 years. But she later asked me if there was any way to keep her conscious after 500 years of sleeping."

"I asked her why, and she said she wanted to become stronger during this period of time. At that time, I was really confused. Can you really become stronger without relying on your body but only on your consciousness?"

"But I still used Void Wanzang to mimic the Eighth God Key, Yu Duchen, to help her. Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that I don't know why, but ever since I met Mr. Black Robe, Void Wanzang has taken the initiative to show me all of its knowledge base and abilities. If I meet him again, I really have to thank Mr. Black Robe."

"..."

Otto's wisdom is real. He probably already knows that he is the one in black robe and the one in white robe. He is not going to tell you now because of the agreement. Li Suchang must have recognized him. He is at the entry-level peak of the swordsmanship universe rules... He has been practicing for more than 500 years. It should be that the [Ultimate] true meaning at that time only gave him the entry-level true meaning, so he reached a bottleneck.

After all, it is the [Ultimate] Star God who created the rules of the universe. If one wants to truly practice, one must rely on the [Ultimate] Star God, otherwise one might not even be able to reach the realm of minor success.

It has been only about three months since he comprehended the cosmic rules of swordsmanship. Of course, this is only the time in the real world. With the help of the [Ultimate] truth in his body, he went back to the past and absorbed the [Ultimate] truth, which is the reward after completing the task.

Although he seemed to have never practiced seriously, Jiang Ming wanted to see how Li Suchang, who was at a higher level than himself, would perform.

Since the two were not in the simulation training room but in the square of St. Freya Academy, Jiang Ming smiled and shouted to Beichen Meiyi.

"Beichen, please give it your all. It doesn't matter what the consequences are. Even if you lose, I will teach you well. If you don't mind, please use this."

After saying that, Jiang Ming summoned a katana, and with a gentle push of his right hand, the katana came in front of Beichen Meiyi. The blade was dark red, and it was the twelfth divine key - Jizo Soul.

Jiang Ming's voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's mind, including Beichen Meiyi. Looking at the smile on Jiang Ming's face and his words just now, it seemed that he was sure that she would lose.

However, Beichen Meiyi was not unhappy. She knew Jiang Ming's vision, which made him believe that he would definitely lose against an opponent, and that the battle with her would definitely be exciting. So, she picked up the Jizo Soul that was stuck on the ground and looked at Li Sushang.

Li Sushang clasped her fists and saluted Beichen Meiyi: "Please teach me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Suchang opened his right hand, and a dark blue Key of Domination with some messy white lines on the sword body flew out of the air in the blink of an eye and was held in his palm.

Li Suchang's face was solemn, and he did not move, but the rules of the sword technique universe were activated instantly. For a moment, the sword energy was everywhere, turning into a three-meter-high wave, rushing towards Beichen Meiyi!

The sword waves roared and surged. Beichen Meiyi never underestimated any opponent, and the strength displayed by Li Suchang in an instant made her feel like she was facing a formidable enemy.

Beichen Meiyi was not afraid but smiled, took a step forward, and the long sword in her hand glowed with a faint red light. Beichen Meiyi swung with all her strength and launched a single silver line, as cold as moonlight.

But at the moment of collision, the sword wave swallowed up the sword energy, forcing Beichen Meiyi to try her best to dodge, and the vast sword wave quickly dissipated when it was about to rush out of the field.

Beichen Meiyi landed on the ground and quickly steady herself. She looked towards Li Suchang and was shocked - her full-strength sword attack was actually resolved by the opponent's attack so casually.

She now understood why Jiang Ming said that and lent her the weapon, because she was no match for him, as could be seen from the brief collision just now. But even so, she did not want to give up this rare opportunity.

Jiang Ming looked more deeply. Although Li Suchang seemed motionless just now, the sword waves she released were actually at the mid-entry level. This made Jiang Ming, who had been unable to practice with them during this period, understand more clearly how huge the gap between the realms of the universe's rules was. There was such a huge gap just by one realm difference.

Although Beichen Mei's attack seems weak, it can actually cut off the body of any Judgment-level Honkai Beast on the spot. Even if the body of the Honkai Beast is huge, it can still pass through it.

Beichen Meiyi adjusted her breathing and disappeared from the spot the next second. Li Suchang took a step forward slightly, but the moment she took a step, she also disappeared from everyone's sight.

The figures of the two were as unpredictable as ghosts from the underworld. The Valkyrie in the field could only see some afterimages, a few sword auras, or hear the sounds of swords clashing.

Even so, the impact caused by the collision of their moves still made many Valkyries unstable. Jiang Ming used a little trick to calm the outside world.

He didn't do any training, nor did he fight in any battles, so naturally he didn't violate the true meaning of "Ultimate".

After a few breaths, the two figures gradually appeared. The corner of Li Suchang's clothes was slightly torn, while Beichen Mei had been pointed at the throat by the opponent's sword, and Jizo Yuhun was also knocked out of his hand.

But after all, Beichen Mei is no longer the ronin who threatened to commit suicide after being defeated by Jiang Ming. She has a family and knows that there are always people better than her, so she admits defeat with a smile.

However, Li Suchang's performance from beginning to end was only at the mid-entry level and he had never used his full strength. Only Jiang Ming knew this. Secondly, if Li Suchang really used his full strength, with his foundation of being at the peak of the entry level in swordsmanship and the rules of the universe, then the entire Saint Freya Academy would have been destroyed by the sword energy he released.

"What a great swordsmanship! It allows me to see the world at a glance. Su Shang, it's been a long time since we last met. Your understanding of the rules of the swordsmanship universe has surpassed mine."

Jiang Ming left the judges' platform and instantly appeared in front of the two of them.

"Huh? Really?"

"Of course, it seems that you haven't fallen behind in your 500 years of training. To be honest, I'm only at the late stage of the swordsmanship universe rules. In terms of swordsmanship alone, you've surpassed me in this period of time. Even Bianca can't compare to you now."

"Even if it's you, Jiang Ming, and that Lady Bianca, you can't match them? It seems that you haven't used even a little bit of your strength just now."

Beichen Meiyi's eyes widened in shock. Jiang Ming told her the truth: "That's natural. After all, she has been practicing for more than 500 years. Suchang, the reason she didn't make further progress is that she has encountered a bottleneck, right?"

"Uncle Master has a keen eye. That's right. Ever since I reached the peak of entry level, the rules of the swordsmanship universe have not made any further progress. I have been troubled by this for a long time."

"Haha, don't worry. I will take you to the minor success stage in a few days. Now please sit there with Beichen and wait for the Valkyrie selection to end. How about that? Your great master Chi Yuan is also sitting there. Introduce yourself to her."

Unexpectedly, Li Sushang shook his head slowly and did not agree: "Uncle Master, I will explain the matter of Grandmaster Chi Yuan, but I have a request."

"Oh? What's your request? You can tell me what you want."

"After the Rakshasa woke me up, he told me that the time was ripe. Although I am one level higher than you in swordsmanship, I know that you have many tricks up your sleeve, so I want to truly understand my current strength."

After hearing this, Jiang Ming nodded in understanding and thought to himself.

"System, this is a last resort, right?"

【nature】

After getting the answer that revealed the true meaning of [Extreme], Jiang Ming smiled gently.

"Haha, that's fine, but our fight is bound to cause some noise. Beichen, go sit with Xiao Meiyi and Ying first. I'll do some operations, and then you and everyone else can watch our fight."

After saying that, Jiang Ming activated the memory of the universe rules to condense a silver ball of light, handed it to Beichen Meiyi and explained: "This is the information about this lady. You take it back to everyone, and I won't have to explain it later."

Seeing Beichen Meiyi nodded, Jiang Ming waved her left hand, and she immediately returned to Meiyi and others, releasing the silver ball of light, and everyone knew Li Suchang's identity.

Just as everyone knew it, the scene around them suddenly changed, suddenly transforming from the square of St. Freya Academy into a strange world - this was the result of Jiang Ming activating the world's cosmic rules and bringing everyone here.

As for Mistelin and Bai Heng, Jiang Ming only took everyone to another area, which was still a long way away from where they were, and the concrete ground under everyone's feet turned into white clouds!

What’s even more amazing is that they can stand firmly on it without falling, while Jiang Ming and Li Suchang are standing on the ground, a hundred steps away.

"Come here, Suchang, just attack me and show me what you have achieved in the past 500 years. Bianca, Beichen, and other girls, just watch carefully. Even if we are at different levels and on different paths, I can make you understand the rules of the universe. The purpose of my selection is to arrange the rules of the universe in the headquarters of Tianming and its seven branches, as well as Saint Freya Academy, in preparation for the future!"

"Uncle Master, please teach me!"

Jiang Ming nodded to signal the start. The moment he nodded, Li Suchang flashed in front of him with a sword in hand. The cosmic rules of swordplay were quickly activated, and he slashed down vertically with the sword.

Jiang Ming originally wanted to block the sword with his physical body, but he suddenly activated Zhengli Wuying and dodged it instantly.

The sword that was swung in the air immediately formed sword energy, which was so powerful that it immediately cut a thousand-foot gully on the ground!

"Good fellow, you came here with the intention of killing me!"

My nephew is really decisive when he takes action. If I hadn't activated the Shadowless Power and turned my body into nothingness, I would have been disturbed by the sword energy overflowing everywhere. This is just under the activation of the Collapse Energy. What if it was the [Ultimate] Imaginary Energy of Destiny?

Originally, Jiang Ming wanted to stop him by force, partly because he was confident in his own physical body. He once asked about the true meaning of [Ultimate]. As the reincarnation of [Ultimate] Star God, he already knew some of his abilities. So what about as an [Immortal] Dragonborn?

The true meaning of [Extreme] was explained to him: [The descendants of dragons are all over the universe, but they are scattered in the Silver Sea, and have never come and gone. However, there is a clan of the Vajra who has formed an alliance with the Immortal Boat. There are five dragon masters who have come to the world to watch over the longevity plague and disaster for eternity.]

[The Vajra Master and the Dragon Lord each have their own methods, and you, the original body, control power and lightning. The six thunder seals are the methods used by the original body in the past. At the same time, your body is immortal and can resist the gods.]

Jiang Ming then asked: "Although I have obtained part of the inheritance, why haven't I fully awakened the power of [Immortality] yet? Shouldn't this be the power of blood? Can this be suppressed?"

[It can’t be considered suppression, at least the sharp weapon must pass through the chest first, and then tear Xinhai’s shoulder~]

Not knowing why he suddenly started singing, Jiang Ming tilted his head slightly.

"what?"

[No, nothing...]

Jiang Ming: "?"

After that, there was still no answer to the question and the conversation ended in frustration.

.............

"However, even if I haven't awakened the power of [Immortality], with my current half-baked body, I will still be seriously injured if I am hit by the swordsmanship universe rules driven by Honkai energy."

Jiang Ming felt helpless, and the Valkyries watching were also shocked, especially Bianca, Beichen Meiyi and others. A sword cut out a ravine of ten thousand feet. Did Bianca think she could do it? She could do it with all her strength, but it was difficult to do it with a nonchalant expression like Li Sushang.

"Good sword! Even if I want to strike out with this sword so easily, it is difficult."

"Master, your words are too sincere. With Master's background, it won't be difficult for him to defeat me. You just want to give me a chance to show off, right?"

"Haha, then I'll give you a chance to show off yourself. This is the first time I've used this move, so you can try to break it. It should be fairly easy for you."

Jiang Ming put his palms together and slid his fingers in the air. It seemed slow but it was dazzling. Li Suchang did not move but just waited.

After three breaths, Li Suchang suddenly noticed something strange. She felt that the space around her seemed to be solidified. She immediately slashed out a two-meter-long pure white sword energy, but the opposite side generated dozens of the same sword energy out of thin air. After canceling out her sword energy, the remaining sword energy pounced on her again.

Li Sushang was startled, and quickly displayed an even more powerful sword energy. However, when her sword energy dispersed the sword energy that appeared out of thin air, nearly a hundred more sword energies came one after another and attacked her again.

Li Suchang seemed to have realized something, so she just dodged and stopped attacking. But just after she dodged all the sword energy, nearly a hundred sword energies attacked her from behind, as if they had just turned a corner.

The girl couldn't help but exclaimed: "What is the name of this move!? I slashed out with sword energy, but there were more sword energy coming from the opposite side. I dodged them all, but it didn't give in?"

Jiang Ming stood with his hands behind his back, explaining with a faint smile.

"This is a sword formation formed by combining the rules of the sword art universe and the rules of the formation universe. Su Chang, if you don't crack it quickly, you will only be dragged down here until the collapse energy is completely dissipated."

"You don't have to think about using the Taixu Sword Qi to absorb the Collapse Energy between heaven and earth. Your space has been isolated from the outside world by me adding some space and universe rules. There is no extra Collapse Energy for you to use. Come on, I look forward to you breaking it."

After saying that, Jiang Ming stopped taking any action and waited quietly.
