Chapter 164 - 4th Trial 1

(Let's try it without entering) Bai approached the top of the mountain, stopping just without stepping in. On Bai's hands, his twin swords appeared, his 7 spirits rings under him, the 5th ring shining. 50 swords appeared surrounding the platform, following Bai's order, they were shot towards Tao Yi.

"Clink!" Just as they were to enter the platform of the top they were reflected by an invisible force, dispersing in the process.

"This is useless" The wind said "My stronghold can be considered another realm. For attacks to pass through, you will need a space comprehension at limit. Let alone this pitiful attacks."

Bai sighed knowing that he was right, it wasn't like his sword didn't cut through, it was like he lost them. "I will go with all" Bai stepped forward entering the platform, tornados suddenly appeared and charged towards him.

(I could sense Death all over it, with only a breath of life keeping in his body. A little influx of my Slaughter should do the trick.) Bai crossed his sword, Protection Intent covering them. The tornados hit him, slowly pushing him as he was blocking.

Bai's 5th ring shined, 10 black swords appeared outside the tornados' area. "Go!" The swords shot towards Tao Yi. These swords were nothing like the ones before, these ones were imbued with Slaughter Intent, making incomparable stronger, faster, sharp... than the normal ones before.

The swords didn't move even 2 meters before new tornados appeared stopping them. Bai seeing the result, stepped outside the platform, the tornados disappeared.

"So you're trying out" the wind said "People usually tries to break them at first. After they fail, they start trying to find out some weaknesses. I can already say that there's no weakness, you pass it with your strength or not, there no other method besides facing me."

"It's not like I don't trust you, but..." Bai explained "Our Weaknesses are usually ignored by ourselves, and as it could be something that takes time, better know the characteristics of it, for better preparation."

"Step by step" wind said "Trying to know your enemy and make oneself develop to win him. Not a bad method to win one battle, but in the long run, it's not very feasible towards every new opponent."

(Now, I will go try an all-out) Bai stepped forward. "Another try, eh?" Tornados appeared and charged towards Bai.

Bai's rings shined as he used all his skills, spirit energy, mental energy, and physical strength. After his merge, Bai discovered that his sword spirit had second awakened, with it not only it became two swords and stronger, but his absorption greatly improved. The quantity absorbed to the enemies was the same, but the increase of his attributes was greatly increased. The actual limit was Bai's own body. If there were enough to absorb, Bai could increase his attributes as much as his body could afford.

Of course, reaching his limit would cause a great burden towards his body, receiving a great backslash, even not being able to move for days. So Bai needed to be wary about the amount used. For some reason, even when he was unable to absorb any strength from Tao Yi, he could absorb them from his surroundings that were very rich in Heaven and Earth energy only with his physique as the limit, the air here was like a breathing creature. This time was he decided to go for his limit to find the power of Tao Yi. It wasn't like he'll need to worry about what will happen after.

Bai's eyes started shining at the same time that his muscles bulged, the veins all over his body making them visible. A powerful, black and white energy started covering his swords as they started growing, becoming 10 meters long swords. His All Swords couldn't affect his opponent's domain, so he focused it all his sword qi at his swords.

Bai crossed his swords "Take this! <Two Worlds!>" Bai swung his swords forming two arcs, a powerful sword aura was shot forward. White and Black energy twisted together never mixing, forming their own tornado, the white absorbed Life while the black absorbed Death, at the same time purifying each other and making them stronger.

The black and white tornado sliced the wind tornados apart without much difficulty "Oh? Not bad!" As the attack continued forward, more wind started accumulating over its way trying to stop it. It was like a powerful sword cutting a green world. The black and white tornado continued without stopping, it could even absorb the strength of the wind cut, so it was only slowed a little.

When it was 20 meters away from Tao Yi, the attack stopped for a mere instant. After that, the might of the attack was quickly lowering with each meter away, at 15 meters away it was completely extinguished.

"So this is the limit" Bai withdrew his spirit as he fell backward powerless, exhausted from the attack. The roaring tornados, that were about to engulf and shredded Bai, dispersed becoming calm breeze that carefully pushed Bai outside the platform, slowly letting him rest at the ground.

"Not bad at all." The wind twirled "For someone so young to achieve this kind of strength" it started spinning quickly "Let's see how much he can walk forward after surpassing his flaws" the wind completely stopped "And find a meaning."

A light green breeze covered Bai's body. This wind started nourishing Bai's exhausted body, healing the burdened muscles at the same time that recovering his spirit energy. "I have high hopes in you!" the wind twirled before dispering.
