The Invincible constitution : Rise of the Supreme One

Chapter 30: Eli Shan Vs Headmaster

Eli Shan and the headmaster unleashed their sword intent with such force that onlookers felt as though the very air around them had turned into the sharpest sword, cutting them into millions of pieces.

Overwhelmed by the pressure, they leaped from the practice field to an adjacent mountain peak, where they could observe the intense battle from a safer distance.

From their vantage point, they slowly realized that although Eli Shan didn't back down, he was at a clear disadvantage in terms of the sword intent. But what they didn't know was that Eli Shan had not practiced his sword intent for even half a month but still he could stand before the headmaster's meticulously honed sword.

As the intensity of the fight increased, a smile appeared on the faces of both Eli Shan and the headmaster. At this moment, words were unnecessary for them; their connection transcended speech. Through the language of their swords, they communicated on a profound level, understanding each other's every intention, thought, feint, and strike.

On the sidelines, Hao Yu, the son of the city lord, had already accepted his fate as a side character and didn't try to make anything difficult for Eli Shan.

Watching the fierce battle between the headmaster and Eli Shan, he felt like an idiot. How could he have been so foolish as to provoke a monster like Eli Shan? It was already his good luck that Eli Shan didn't find trouble with him, otherwise in the whole school, even the status of the son of the city lord wouldn't have been enough to save him.

As the battle continued, Eli Shan, who was initially at a disadvantage, seemed to become better. His movements became more fluid, his strikes more precise, his sword intent more dense and sharper. With each passing moment, he appeared to grow stronger and more confident.

Sensing his growth with each passing moment, the headmaster couldn't contain his astonishment. "Monster," he breathed, a mixture of admiration and disbelief coloring his voice.

Soon, Eli Shan drew upon every fiber of his being and erupted with the sword intent that reached the pinnacle of the first realm.

As the battle raged on, the headmaster sensed something special about Eli Shan's aura. It felt like he was on the verge of a breakthrough, almost reaching the second level of sword intent. Yet, it felt like something was holding him back, like an invisible barrier.

He pondered for a moment, then looked at Eli Shan with a serious gaze. "Little Eli," he began, "Your sword intent is now completely condensed. However, if you want to break through to the next realm, you must refine it with the help of sword aura."

Amidst his concentrated sword intent, Eli Shan looked at the headmaster with a bewildered gaze. "Sword Aura?"

The headmaster nodded, offering his elucidation, "Much like sword intent, there is sword aura. It's an energy that aids in refining your sword intent." As the headmaster continued his explanation, he demonstrated the concept with a graceful motion. Suddenly, a brilliant white aura emanated from him, taking the form of a sword and enveloping his figure. Its power was so palpable that it seemed to have the potential to reduce onlookers to mere dust with just a glance.

"Later if you reach the higher realm of sword aura, at that time you wouldn't even need to use sword intent. Your sword aura would be enough to turn a cultivator without this formidable energy or equivalent strength into naught but dust!"

Eli Shan's eyes sparkled upon learning about it. He observed the sword aura that enveloped the headmaster's body and closed his eyes in deep concentration.

"Little Eli," the headmaster advised, "Sword aura is unique for every individual. Delve into yourself, and sense the nature of your aura. Consider its color, shape, and strength. Understand yourself and determine what resonates as your true sword aura."
