Sword Emperor

Seeing that all the dummies in the hall had been taken care of, Sun Bing didn't want to continue sitting cross-legged on the ground. He slowly stood up, but on the surface, he still acted like he didn't have enough Genuine Qi to confuse others.    

    

Although Lin Dong and Cheng Jun didn't believe that Sun Bing was still as weak as before, they had no doubt lowered their guard. After all, the power of the previous attack was too great. It was impossible for him to fully recover after such a long time.    

    

Unfortunately, they didn't know that what was inside Sun Bing's body wasn't a Genuine Qi, and it was a Genuine Essence that had been condensed. Furthermore, there was a jade bead in his body that could transform the Heaven Earth spiritual energy. At this moment, he had already recovered eighty percent of his strength, and it didn't affect his combat strength at all. So, it wouldn't be a problem for him to start a fight now.    

    

"Since Brother Sun Bing has already recovered, we can continue our exploration now." Lin Dong smiled. He didn't show any killing intent towards Sun Bing, but his facial expression changed at an incredible speed.    

    

Cheng Jun who was standing on the other side was also the same. Although everyone was smiling on the surface, they maintained absolute vigilance in their hearts. If anything happened, they would immediately turn hostile.    

    

Immediately, the three of them walked towards the depths of the mountain. The only unfortunate one was the disciple of City Lord's Mansion. Due to the serious injuries he suffered from the battle with the dummies, he could only stay here and recover from his injuries. There was no chance for him to get any more opportunities.    

    

Actually, this wasn't a bad idea. After all, no one could be sure what kind of dangers they would encounter in the following journey.    

    

There was only one path left, and there was no need to worry about getting lost. Thinking back to the scene just now, Sun Bing couldn't help but feel mixed emotions in his heart. After all, only the strong could protect him better in Divine Land. He casually swept his gaze across the two people beside him, and a trace of determination could be seen in his eyes. No matter what kind of situation he was in, he would use the sharp sword in his hand to cut them off.    

    

Unknowingly, he suddenly felt the world in front of him open up. There was obviously an empty hall not far away. Immediately, everyone stopped in their tracks. After all, the danger just now had caused them to have some lingering fear.    

    

"Since the two of you are unwilling to go, why don't I go first?" Sun Bing couldn't help but speak plainly. After that, he slowly walked forward. After all, as a swordsman, he would rather break than bend. As long as he had a sharp sword in his hand, he would never give up. No matter how dangerous the situation was, he would never hesitate.    

    

However, in an instant, Cheng Jun and Lin Dong also spoke, "It doesn't matter. Even if there is danger, the three of us can take care of each other."    

    

Although they weren't swordsmen, they were considered the geniuses of Tianwu City. Now that they saw how confident Sun Bing was, they naturally didn't want to be compared to him. Besides, although there might be danger ahead, it could also be an opportunity. If they didn't advance now, they might even suffer a great loss.    

    

Immediately, the three of them couldn't help but walk forward together.    

    

In an instant, everyone's eyes were filled with surprise, because there was a three meter long and wide Spiritual Pond in front of them. At this moment, it was quietly placed in front of them. Wisps of dense Qi drifted in the air. The entire hall was like a paradise in the mortal world. Even Lin Dong, as the heir of City Lord's Mansion, couldn't help but be stunned at this moment.    

    

One should know that this wasn't a 30 meter long Spiritual Pond, it was a full 3 meters wide Spiritual Pond. It contained an unknown amount of spiritual energy, and even Qi Refining level 7 warriors could see it. Not to mention the fact that the strongest man in front of them was only a fifth level of Qi Refining Stage warrior. Naturally, the excitement in his heart couldn't be any greater.    

    

Immediately, he looked at the other two men vigilantly. This was the common problem of human nature. Every time he saw something good, he would naturally want to keep it all to himself. Unfortunately, there were three of them at the scene. Moreover, everyone's heart was filled with vigilance.    

    

Sensing the vigilant gaze from his side, the corner of Lin Dong's mouth couldn't help but smile, "This Spiritual Pond is so huge. It's enough for the three of us to use it. We might as well rely on our own abilities and not cause any trouble."    

    

After saying that, he didn't care about the rest of them. He took the lead and ran towards the Spiritual Pond. In fact, he was feeling quite pained in his heart right now. After all, if he were to take it all for himself... Not only could he break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining Stage smoothly, but he could also advance further to the level 7. It was truly a huge leap, but unfortunately... Even he couldn't face the combined attack of the other two men.    

    

Therefore, he could only take a step back and share the benefits with the others. However, absorbing the spiritual energy mainly depended on the cultivation technique. The better it was, the faster the absorption rate would be. Lin Dong had enough confidence in himself. With his fifth level of Qi Refining Stage cultivation base and City Lord's Mansion's cultivation technique, it could be said that he would be able to obtain the greatest benefits.    

    

As for Cheng Jun and Sun Bing, they naturally wouldn't reject this suggestion, especially Sun Bing. He was pleasantly surprised because he wasn't far from the third level of Qi Refining Stage. If he entered the Spiritual Pond, he was confident that he could break through to the third level of Qi Refining Stage.    

    

Immediately, the three men with ulterior motives looked at each other and smiled. Without further ado, they entered the Spiritual Pond.    

    

In an instant, the familiar Heaven and Earth spiritual energy covered their entire bodies. Lin Dong and the others didn't hesitate at all. In an instant, they closed their eyes and began circulating their cultivation technique. The majestic spiritual energy in the Spiritual Pond followed the huge minor circulation around their bodies and was instilled into the Dantian. This speed was truly beyond ordinary people.    

    

Cheng Jun seemed to have a pretty good cultivation technique as well. For a moment, he wasn't inferior to Lin Dong at all. He also closed his eyes and began absorbing the Spiritual Pond. After all, the Spiritual Pond was only this big. If he absorbed more of it, the rest of them would naturally be lesser.    

    

Sensing the enormous attraction of the other two people, Sun Bing couldn't help but smile. In an instant, he had already used the 'Sword Sharpening Technique'. All the surrounding spiritual energy were injected into his meridians and Dantian through his pores. Not only did it create a small whirlpool in the Spiritual Pond, but it also created a small whirlpool. Even the floating spiritual energy in the hall flowed directly into his body.    

    

At the same time, Sun Bing was pleasantly surprised to find out that because his absorption speed had increased, the speed at which the sword case was converted had increased as well. He even felt as if he was forcefully snatching away the other people's spiritual energy.    

    

After all, the rest of them needed to use a large minor circulation to instill their energy into the Dantian, even if it was a better cultivation technique. It was just that the speed was slightly faster. As for Sun Bing, he was able to absorb the spiritual energy from all the pores on his body at the same time. The gap between them was simply unimaginable.    

    

Under the absorption of these three people, the spiritual energy within the Spiritual Pond could even be said to be decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. But at the same time, the momentum on the bodies of three of them also increased. Not long after, they even had a feeling of breaking through.
