Chapter 1146 — Chapter 1146 Sword Trial(2)

After being summoned, the female masked figure started looking around with interest, almost as though she was inspecting her surroundings, a behavior that none of the previous Spirits have shown.

Her gaze eventually stopped on Yuan, and after a moment of silence, she spoke in a clear voice, "This is the first time I've been summoned since the creation of this place. What's your name?"

"S-She's having a conversation with her opponent?!" The spectators were beyond shocked by this.

"The Spirits in the Sword Trial have never spoken a single word before!"

"This is the first time it's a woman, too!"

"My name is Xiao Yang." Yuan introduced himself.

"Really?"

To his surprise, the female Spirit questioned his answer, almost as if she didn't believe him.

"I don't like liars, you know," she continued.

"..."

Yuan decided to remain silent.

"Well, whatever. Anyways, are you ready to fight me? I hope you can entertain me."

Yuan immediately retrieved the Empyrean Overlord.

The Spirit's body trembled when she saw the beautiful sword in his grasp.

"You… Why do you have that sword?" The Spirit muttered in a low voice that sounded to be in disbelief.

"Cause it's mine," he calmly responded.

"BULLSHIT!"

The Spirit suddenly roared, and a tyrannical aura exploded from her body, causing the spectators to scatter away from the platform.

"That's my Master's sword! How dare you defile it with your unworthy hands!"

Before Yuan could even respond, the female Spirit suddenly sprang into action, rushing towards him as a large Greatsword appeared in her grasp.

BOOM!

A powerful shockwave appeared when their swords clashed, and Yuan was actually pushed back by the Spirit.

When he stabilized himself, he could feel his entire arm shaking.

'Shit! What terrifying strength!' Yuan cried inwardly, and he realized that this could be the most difficult challenge he's faced in this place yet.

"Die!"

The Spirit did not spare Yuan any time to think and continued to rush at him with her attacks growing stronger with every strike.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The Spirit eventually started using Sword Aura, causing ripples filled with Sword Aura to scatter everywhere, destroying the platform and the surroundings.

"Heavens… What am I witnessing?"

The group of fairies from the upper heavens were baffled by the fierce battle, something they thought could only happen in the upper heavens, especially Fairy Tang, who was in disbelief for another reason.

'How… How did he manage to summon an opponent who is far stronger than mine?' Fairy Tang wondered to herself why her Spirit was inferior.

The difference between Yuan's opponent and her own— they couldn't even be compared.

'As far as I know, the Sword Trial adjusts the Spirits based on the challenger's talent. Does this mean the Sword Trial believes that my talent is inferior to that man's talent? That I am inferior to a nobody from the Third Heaven? Impossible!'

Fairy Tang gritted her teeth in frustration. Her existence has always been compared to the others since birth, yet she's always at the top, even when compared to those from powerful families, so she could've never imagined that she'd feel inferior to someone that isn't even from the upper heavens.

As time passed, the spectators would become more and more speechless.

"Heavens… They have been going at it for hours now. It's not weird for the Spirit to not get tired, but that young man is a different story! Just how much energy does he have?!"

Although it may seem like Yuan has unlimited energy like the Spirit, it isn't as simple as that. His body, from his muscles to his bones, are damaged and destroyed with every exchange, but due to his Perfect Regeneration, it completely heals itself before the next exchange.

Of course, even if his body is fine, one's mental state usually degrades as a fight prolongs, but due to Heaven's Indomitable Soul, his mind that is affected by Soul Strength not only refreshes itself, it also grows stronger with every second.

Therefore, if he isn't damaged faster than he could heal, and if he doesn't use too much Soul Strength at once, he could potentially fight for an eternity without any breaks.

The female Spirit, who had been cursing Yuan nonstop at the beginning, also became quiet.

Minutes turned to hours, and hours turned to days.

In the blink of an eye, Yuan and the Spirit had been fighting each other for five days straight now.

More and more people have shown up at the place just to witness their legendary fight, including the Silver Dragon, who rushed over after hearing the news.

"How long have they been fighting?" One of the newcomers asked.

"They've been at it for five days now."

"F-Five?! Are you messing with me? There's no way anyone can fight that long with such intensity."

"You don't have to believe me. You can ask the others."

Meanwhile, Silver Dragon Long Chen hovered in the air with a pondering expression on his face.

'They've been fighting at this pace for five days now, yet neither of them are using their full strength. That Xiao Yang, is he using that Spirit for training? Even if that's the case, why is the Spirit going along with him?' He wondered, as he thought that the Spirits were meant to defeat the challengers as soon as possible.

"Hm?"

It was at this moment that he noticed the group of beauties standing near the entrance of the Sword Temple.

'So she's also here, huh?'

A smile appeared on his face when he saw the expression on her face. He didn't think he would ever get the chance to see such a sight.

'So even the Poison Phoenix can feel jealousy. What a surprising find.'

He approached her a moment later.

However, Fairy Tang didn't sense his presence until he was right beside her.

"It's been a while, Poison Phoenix." Silver Dragon greeted her with a somewhat cheeky smile.

Fairy Tang glared at him with a cold gaze as she spoke, "What do you want, Silver Dragon?"
