Unheard of, unprecedented.
Moreover, it was within these short ten minutes. It would take a martial arts expert months, years, even a hundred years to create swordsmanship techniques; even the weakest required such time.
Create swordsmanship in ten minutes? Could this be the once Sword Dao Master?
Emperor of Fertility stared intently at Chu Fengmian but did not speak.
He too wanted to see if Chu Fengmian could succeed. There were too many incredibilities within Chu Fengmian; perhaps today he could be astonished once more.
One minute... Two minutes... Three minutes...
Chu Fengmian stood still, motionless, the only change was the power fluctuating upon the Sword Edge in his hand.
The power of the Fertile Great Luo Palm had already begun to merge into Chu Fengmian’s Sword Edge.
"Could he really succeed?"
Upon witnessing this scene, the Emperor of Fertility was immensely shocked.
To integrate the power of his created Fertile Great Luo Palm into the Sword Edge meant that Chu Fengmian might truly be capable of this.
Using the power of the Fertile Great Luo Palm, he might create a new sword technique.
The ten minutes passed in a flash.
At last, a knowing smile appeared on Chu Fengmian’s face.
On his Sword Edge, the power of the Fertile Great Luo Palm had genuinely merged.
However, it was unclear how much power could be exerted, for the assessment of the Great Emperor was not merely about Chu Fengmian learning the Fertile Great Luo Palm.
Rather, he had to grasp over seven-tenths of the power of the Fertile Great Luo Palm.
Whether this was possible, Chu Fengmian himself did not know; only through actual combat could Chu Fengmian confirm this.
"The ten minutes are up, and your talent indeed makes even this king feel inferior," said the Emperor of Fertility. "In ten minutes, you were sufficient to create a new martial technique from the power of the Fertile Great Luo Palm."
"It can be said that you are the most demonically talented genius this king has ever seen."
The Emperor of Fertility looked at Chu Fengmian, giving him an unabashed commendation.
Having once reigned supreme over the Nine Domains, he naturally had seen countless geniuses, but not a single one could compare to Chu Fengmian.
"To be honest, this king also wants to see just how powerful the swordsmanship you create could be, given enough time," the Emperor of Fertility’s voice gradually became icy, speaking earnestly.
"However, rules are rules, the ten minutes are up. If you can unleash over seventy percent of the power of the Fertile Great Luo Palm, then you shall pass this assessment."
"All of this king’s inheritance will be yours."
"But if you cannot exert the power, then all of this inheritance will have nothing to do with you," the Emperor of Fertility’s voice was extremely cold.
"This king will suppress his power to match your level, make your move."
Chu Fengmian answered decisively.
His body suddenly charged toward the Emperor of Fertility.
In his hand, the Sword Edge swept up an immensely thick force, madly hacking down.
The Fertile Great Luo Palm created by the Emperor of Fertility was a martial technique concentrated to the utmost with Spiritual Power.
A single strike was like a mountain bearing down upon a person.
Thus, the new martial technique Chu Fengmian had created using the Fertile Great Luo Palm was the same, the Spiritual Power within was to the utmost chaos.
Combined with the Red Flame Sword, he unleashed a sword strike of the purest and strongest caliber.
However, to the Emperor of Fertility, this pure and strong sword strike appeared too weak, powerless.
"Is this the extent of the swordsmanship you’ve realized?"
The Emperor of Fertility looked at Chu Fengmian wielding his sword and shook his head, seemingly unsatisfied.
"Such power doesn’t even amount to thirty percent of the Fertile Great Luo Palm’s strength. It seems it’s time for you to witness the true might of the Fertile Great Luo Palm!"
The moment the Great Emperor spoke, a thick Spiritual Power began to condense in the palm of his hand.
Toward Chu Fengmian, he suddenly hurled a palm strike.
A towering roar echoed as limitless great Spiritual Power rushed towards Chu Fengmian.
If Chu Fengmian’s sword strike could be likened to a great mountain, then the Fertile Great Luo Palm unleashed by the Emperor of Fertility could be called an unending range of mountains.
As if facing a range of mountains with no end in sight, countless layers of immense Spiritual Power surged at Chu Fengmian, ceaselessly bombarding him.
Chu Fengmian’s figure was sent flying dozens of meters away, and from his mouth, he spewed a large mouthful of fresh blood.
The power of this palm strike was terribly extreme; had it not been for Chu Fengmian’s body having been tempered by thunder in the fourth trial, this palm strike alone would have been enough to shatter Chu Fengmian’s body completely.
"Such a powerful palm strike!"
Chu Fengmian was immensely shocked. Now, having witnessed the Emperor of Fertility employ the Fertile Great Luo Palm firsthand, he came to a realization.
His own understanding was so superficial.
The power contained within Chu Fengmian’s Sword Edge couldn’t even match thirty percent.
"If you have no other tactics, you will undoubtedly be defeated in this battle,"
the Emperor of Fertility stood there, not continuing to attack but looking towards Chu Fengmian as he indifferently spoke.
Chu Fengmian gently called out as Spiritual Power once again condensed on the Sword Edge.
In the very moment he witnessed the Emperor of Fertility employ the Fertile Great Luo Palm, a flicker of enlightenment struck his heart.
The strength of these unending mountains, that was the essence of the Fertile Great Luo Palm; a single peak, no matter how massive, could not compare to the weight of endless ranges.
Seeing Chu Fengmian make another move, a hint of disappointment appeared in the Emperor of Fertility’s eyes.
He refrained from continuing his attack, also giving Chu Fengmian a chance to come to a realization. Seeing Chu Fengmian hurriedly make another move, the Great Emperor naturally assumed Chu Fengmian was giving up on himself.
After all, in the face of such an insurmountable power gap, there was no room for any glimmer of confidence to overcome.
Spiritual Power once again converged upon the Emperor of Fertility’s palm as he unleashed another strike.
When his palm collided with Chu Fengmian’s Sword Edge, Chu Fengmian’s sword presence disappeared in an instant again.
But this time, Chu Fengmian only retreated less than ten steps, and from his mouth, there was no spill of fresh blood like before.
"Fifty percent strength!"
A hint of shock emerged in the Emperor of Fertility’s eyes.
This time the sword strike from Chu Fengmian had approached almost fifty percent of the Fertile Great Luo Palm’s power.
Though it was still quite lacking compared to the seventy percent needed to pass his trial, in this sheer moment, Chu Fengmian had achieved such an insight.
This sort of talent was terrifying beyond words.
