Ever since he comprehended Infinite Yin Yang Spell, Ming Yu had already possessed the Yin Yang bridge. Divine Lake and Divine Pill were infused with each other's energy to accelerate his growth, and this only helped Ming Yu's cultivation to improve.
However, the Yin Yang bridge was still a way to speed up cultivation. Over time, Ming Yu would benefit a lot from it. However, in a short period of time, Ming Yu's cultivation wouldn't change very quickly.
Once he mastered the Infinite True Fire's aura, Ming Yu would instantly have another layer of life saving trump card.
Although Ming Yu already knew the forging method of Infinite True Fire, he didn't know the appearance of Infinite True Fire at all. He also didn't know what kind of terrifying state Infinite True Fire's astral was in when used.
"You want to take the ranking?"
Soong Yuanyuan seemed to have seen through Ming Yu's thoughts from the fighting spirit in his eyes, so she suddenly asked.
Ming Yu was stunned, then he nodded and said, "Although I might not be able to make it into the top three, but I feel that I can still fight for the top ten."
Originally, these words were encouraging. However, after Soong Yuanyuan heard them, she lightly shook her head and said, "Although only disciples have been allowed to participate in the trial tower battle one month from now, obtaining the top ten will not be an easy task."
"Our Flame Refinement Clan has a total of ten great elders, and the disciples under each great elder are not average either. Furthermore, other than me, there are two other powerful elders, and the disciples under them are not to be looked down upon either. There are even many disciples whose cultivation has already reached the second stage of Core Controlling Stage, and even geniuses at the second stage of Core Controlling Stage might not necessarily be able to enter the top ten, let alone the three of you who are only at the first stage of Core Controlling Stage."
After she finished speaking, the corners of Soong Yuanyuan's mouth couldn't help but raise into an almost imperceptible wry smile.
In the past, whenever Soong Yuanyuan's disciples participated in the Tower Trial, they did not obtain any good rankings. For example, when Liu Qiling and the other elite disciples from Fire Cloud Hall participated in the Trial, they were able to obtain places from eight to ten.
However, as time passed, Liu Qiling and the rest, who were led by Soong Yuanyuan, started to fall back. In the end, they were squeezed out of the top ten and were no longer in the top ten.
On the contrary, the disciples of the Great Elder whose cultivation base was not as powerful as Soong Yuanyuan's had actually come from the bottom up and forcefully took over the positions of the last few elders. They had occupied the positions for several years without wavering.
Soong Yuanyuan's own strength was outstanding, and she became one of the three strongest Elders. However, Soong Yuanyuan's disciple was overshadowed, and didn't gain anything for her.
It was truly a taunt. One of the most powerful elders had a "low eyesight" and he didn't have much hope in accepting disciples. It was to the extent that Soong Yuanyuan couldn't even raise her head when she accepted disciples.
And this year, Liu Qiling and the others entered the third level of Core Controlling Stage and forever left the stage of the trial tower. A new batch of blood also surged out.
Soong Yuanyuan was most optimistic about Meng Ruyan. Although Meng Ruyan was only at the first level of Core Controlling Stage, she had extremely strong illusions and abnormal cultivation speed. In addition to her strong attacking methods, she naturally had an unparalleled advantage.
Next was Tang Chen, although Tang Chen's cultivation speed was not as fast as Soong Yuanyuan, Tang Chen was born in the Tang Sect, and was proficient with concealed weapons, sharp Spiritual Strength, delicate fighting style, and excellent hidden weapons skills. He was also a rare talent.
Ming Yu, who had a Battle Body that could control fire and ice, could already be considered extremely strong among ordinary people. However, to Meng Ruyan, even with the dual attributes of fire and ice, it was not enough to be considered an expert. Frankly, neither of the two could reach the level of 'abnormal'.
Although Ming Yu didn't have the assistance of Meng Ruyan's amazing talent in cultivation and illusion techniques, nor Tang Chen's amazing operation of hidden weapons, he was still a qualified powerful warrior.
What's more, Ming Yu's biggest advantage was his perseverance. A stupid bird might be able to fly for a long time.
Soong Yuanyuan already had a rough estimate in her heart. Meng Ruyan was the disciple with the highest chance of entering the top ten. If Meng Ruyan really did give her face, then she would definitely reward her well.
Ming Yu had been observing the changes in Soong Yuanyuan's expression. Honestly speaking, he had already noticed some clues.
It seemed that Soong Yuanyuan did not have much confidence in her disciple. On the contrary, the disciples of the other elders were all very powerful …
Ming Yu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"Don't think too much. The real victor belongs to the people who walked all the way to the end. If within five years, you can reach the fourth level of Core Controlling Stage, I will gift you with a set of Holy Weapon s that have been customized specifically for you." Soong Yuanyuan encouraged.
"Is it a Holy Weapon stronger than Great Elder Shu Yue's sword?"
Ming Yu raised his eyebrows. A powerful Holy Weapon was extremely attractive to him.
However, Soong Yuanyuan shook her head and laughed: "You're overthinking it. The rank given by Shu Yue is not far off, but if you use my Holy Weapon, you will definitely display an even greater advantage."
"Why?" Ming Yu asked in confusion.
"Because even though Shu Yue's Illusory Sword Technique is powerful, it doesn't suit you at all."
Soong Yuanyuan's tone became serious, "The power of the Drunken Shadow Phantom Sword lies in its agility and elegance, with unpredictable variations. It is a good Holy Weapon, but attacking is your strength, your fighting style uses offense as defense, its style is firm and sharp. If Shu Yue were to give you the Drunken Shadow Sword, it would not be able to give you the advantage, and that would be detrimental to you."
"What?"
Ming Yu was shocked. Previously, he only thought about the power of the Illusory Sword of Drunken Shadow, but he ignored the most important part.
Soong Yuanyuan's words hit the nail right on the head. She analyzed his strengths in a few sentences, and it was a thorough analysis!
It was obvious that Shu Yue had only put down the bomb to attract Ming Yu at that time. However, Soong Yuanyuan had forcefully led Ming Yu back from the wrong direction and brought him under her wing.
"But when Great Elder Shu Yue chose me, why didn't you say it out loud and instead just …" Ming Yu blurted out subconsciously. At the end, his voice became softer.
Soong Yuanyuan directly snatched Ming Yu away. Although this method was overbearing, it was still a bit impolite, so it was hard for people to not talk behind his back.
However, facing Ming Yu's question, Soong Yuanyuan's expression remained calm. She turned around and walked to the exquisite seats on the high platform alone. As she walked, she said faintly,
"A smart person would naturally be able to tell. Moreover, I don't like to explain myself."
When Soong Yuanyuan finished speaking, she was already sitting on the high platform seat. She waved her hand at Ming Yu and said, "Alright, I've said what needs to be said, I still need to cultivate. Leave, ask me again if you have any questions."
Ming Yu took a deep look at Soong Yuanyuan before cupping his hands together and turning to leave.
After leaving the Fire Cloud Hall, Ming Yu's heart was unable to calm down for a long time.
He crawled on the back of the Dragon-Sparrow of Black Wing's neck and thought deeply about it, despite the strong wind blowing past him.
Once, Ming Yu had always thought that Soong Yuanyuan had a hot personality and a fiery temper. However, today, after careful contact, his intuition told him that Soong Yuanyuan was more like a shriveled hedgehog with an extremely strong defense. Her surface was full of sharp thorns, but when Soong Yuanyuan removed everything, her heart was softer than anyone else.
Soong Yuanyuan, what kind of Master was she exactly?
Ming Yu shook his head with a wry smile. He had very little contact with Soong Yuanyuan, he could only get to know her better in the future, right?
Everything that happened today kept on echoing in Ming Yu's mind, and before he knew it, Ming Yu had already rode on his Dragon-Sparrow of Black Wing and returned to the Quiet Ink Pavilion.
The Dragon-Sparrow of Black Wing placed Ming Yu on the mountainside and let out a cry. It communicated with Ming Yu for a while and then went out to look for food.
This little guy had been extremely excited ever since he arrived at Flame Refinement Clan, and his appetite had greatly increased. As for what it went to eat, Ming Yu did not know.
At this moment, Ming Yu was left alone again.
He stood on the mountainside and looked at the other side of the mountain peak. He saw a vermillion building hidden in the lush forest on the other side of the mountain. The building was like its owner, Meng Ruyan. It was misty, bright, dreamy, and also tall and untouchable.
I heard that you're very strong, and your cultivation potential is very high.
A cold smile flashed across the corner of Ming Yu's mouth. In an instant, he waved his hand and a dark green Acheron Sword appeared in his hand. A cold Sword Intent shot out from Ming Yu's eyes.
The next moment, memories of the sword technique appeared in Ming Yu's mind. Those unfamiliar words flashed across his mind one by one.
And this set of sword technique, was precisely that set of Seven Existences God Buried Sword!
Previously, after Ming Yu had defeated Ji Fengyun, he had snatched the Seven Existences God Buried Sword. In his free time, he had flipped through the ancient scrolls and used his super strong memory to memorize the sword art within.
Now that he had a month's time to prepare for his cultivation, the Seven Existences God Buried Sword should naturally be cultivated!
At that time, Ming Yu had used the Yellow Springs Massacre to defeat Ji Fengyun who had used the Five Unique God Buried Sword. If he turned the Five Unique into the Seven Ultimate, and slashed out the real Seven Existences God Buried Sword, the power would definitely surpass that of the Yellow Springs Murder.
It could be said that the Seven Existences God Buried Sword could already be considered as the highest quality low-grade Profound Level martial skill!
"Seven Existences God Buried Sword, severed the seven feelings in the midst of slaughter, without joy, without anger, without grief, without fear, without love, without evil, without desire! Sword Truth: Nihilum, Sword Floating Blood! "0
Countless memories appeared in Ming Yu's mind, but Ming Yu just held the Acheron Sword in his hand and practiced his sword moves according to the techniques in his memory, over and over again, patiently, intoxicatedly, meditating and perceiving everything.
Although Ming Yu didn't know what kind of challenge the training tower would face in a month's time, he had to strengthen his fighting strength. Only by doing this would he be able to break out of the siege, obtain the opportunity to soak in Flame Refinement Pool, and cultivate the Infinite True Fire's astral realm!
That was when his talent would truly open!
Just like this, a youth began to practice his sword from the afternoon until the sun set and the sun set. As night fell, the wind from the sword continued to blow. He forgot to eat and sleep, and did not rest at all.
