JSCMU-Chapter 104: Victory Secured

The waves surged violently. Even through the barrier, one could feel the overwhelmingly domineering power!

Everyone’s expressions instantly changed.

The Azure Lotus Sword Technique!

Is this truly the Azure Lotus Sword Technique?

It had been several hundred years since anyone in Tianxing Sect managed to learn the Azure Lotus Sword Technique. For a moment, no one dared to be certain.

Countless gazes turned to Sword Elder.

If anyone could tell whether this was truly the Azure Lotus Sword Technique, it would be him.

Sword Elder lifted his head, blinking as he stared at the surging waves.

As he watched, even his lips couldn’t help but parted slightly.

The Azure Lotus Sword Technique!

No. This wasn’t just the Azure Lotus Sword Technique!

This was the Azure Lotus Sword Technique with sword intent!

Although he never personally practiced the Azure Lotus Sword Technique, he saw the favored prodigies of Kunlun Sword Sect use it.

The Azure Lotus Sword Technique contained a sword intent, the Surging Wave Sword Intent.

The Surging Wave Sword Intent is a mid-tier sword intent. During cultivation, the first and second waves were manageable, but if one continued and reached the fourth or fifth wave, its power would stack layer by layer, and in the end, when it suddenly erupted, it would unleash power far beyond the cultivator’s own strength!

If one reached the highest ninth wave.

Even a single, simple stream of spiritual power, after being stacked ninefold, could erupt with a power capable of destroying the heavens and earth.

Entering the Azure Lotus Sword Technique was one threshold, mastering the sword intent was another.

Logically, mastering sword intent should be far harder than just entering the technique.

But Yun Jin?

She grasped the sword intent at the same time as entering the technique?

This!

What kind of monstrous talent is this?

Sword Elder’s gaze couldn’t help but burn with excitement.

This time, he may have truly found an exceptional seedling for the sect.

Sword Elder couldn’t even resist casting a sharp glance at Zhao Wuji.

He knew Zhao Wuji was waiting for the life-or-death duel in three months, planning to have Ruan Jun kill Yun Jin.

Previously, Sword Elder thought this life-and-death match was something Yun Jin insisted on. No matter the outcome, she would have to bear the consequences herself.

Now, Sword Elder felt that even if Yun Jin was cold, unreasonable, or making a fuss. Zhao Wuji, how old are you already?

You actually agreed to it?

If this ends up causing the loss of a sword genius in this world, he would drag Zhao Wuji down with him no matter what.

Sword Elder looked at Zhao Wuji with gritted teeth.

Zhao Wuji wasn’t feeling great either.

This was the Azure Lotus Sword Technique! Even among Di-level sword techniques, its entry threshold was among the highest. And now a mere Foundation Establishment disciple casually mastered it?

This Yun Jin!

What kind of monster is she!?

Zhao Wuji suddenly looked at Lin Ya. Lin Ya’s mouth was slightly open, also wearing a look of surprise.

Zhao Wuji instantly flew into a rage.

How could Lin Ya not know that Yun Jin learned the Azure Lotus Sword Technique?

He was pretending!

He was still pretending!

Utterly outrageous.

Among the crowd, Si Wanningg looked at Lin Ya and the others, feeling amused.

Although she knew in advance that her junior sister mastered the Azure Lotus Sword Technique…

A shock like this couldn’t be hers alone.

Now, seeing everyone’s expressions made her feel quite satisfied.

At the very least, it proved her earlier reaction was a perfectly normal response from a normal person.

Just as everyone was still immersed in the shock that Yun Jin had learned the Azure Lotus Sword Technique.

Suddenly, someone dazedly said, “Wait… doesn’t Yun Jin’s rain cloud seem to be getting bigger?”

???

It can still grow!?

Everyone looked up.

And the mouths that were already hanging open dropped even further.

As the tidal wave rushed toward the rain cloud, the cloud began expanding bit by bit, at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Originally, Yun Jin’s cloud was smaller than Ye Cheng’s.

But with the wave’s enhancement, it quickly surpassed Ye Cheng’s and continued expanding.

By the end, the rain cloud’s coverage was ten times larger than before!

“Not bad,” Yun Jin finally expressed mild satisfaction.

She pointed, and the rain cloud drifted forward, carefully starting to rain.

Everyone. “……”

“Minor Cloud and Rain Technique is a water element technique, and Yun Jin used a water element sword technique, so the two techniques complemented each other. Mm, that makes sense.”

Many people nodded along.

But inside, they were screaming.

Makes sense?

Makes sense, my ass!

They’d cultivated for so many years, but had never heard of a water element technique being able to enhance the Minor Cloud and Rain Technique!

Were they fake cultivators all along?

Or is this the difference between genius and mediocrity?

Yue Zhao looked at the crowd and faintly felt a sense of superiority.

Sigh.

This batch of disciples is really lacking.

Just this much, and they already seemed mentally unwell.

What would happen when they found out Yun Jin’s Minor Cloud and Rain Technique could even enhance water attribute sword techniques in return and could even generate lightning from water, transforming into the rarest and hardest-to-cultivate thunder techniques?

Would half the sect go mad?

The Minor Cloud and Rain Technique continued working diligently. Yun Jin controlled the rain cloud, moving it back and forth, left and right, ensuring every inch of land was evenly covered.

Ye Cheng hadn’t even finished the first round of watering, while Yun Jin already started the second and third rounds.

A strange silence fell over the scene.

After a long while, one of Ye Cheng’s junior disciples said, “Her rain cloud was forcibly enlarged. It looks big, but the quality of the spiritual rain can’t compare to Senior Brother Ye’s.”

“Right, this round is about whose seeds sprout first. If the rain quality isn’t high enough, the seeds won’t germinate. So even if she…”

Before he finished.

A soft voice sounded.

“Yun Jin’s seeds… are starting to sprout…”

Everyone turned to look.

Ye Cheng had just finished his first round of watering.

Meanwhile, Yun Jin had completed her third round.

As she started her fourth round, a seed slowly showed a tiny sprout. The bud wasn’t obvious, looking very delicate, but it did indeed grow!

Another wave of awkward silence spread across the field.

It… it already sprouted.

They watched as the little sprouts pushed their way out one by one, impatiently bursting through the soil.

In the end, they counted.

All one hundred seeds sprouted, not a single one left out.

One hundred percent germination…

What kind of level is this?

Everyone looked numbly toward Ma Hongyu.

They were all thinking the same thing.

Does Ma Hongyu… also have this ability?

As the person who knew the most about botany techniques in Tianxing Sect, Ma Hongyu understood better than anyone else just how earth-shattering what Yun Jin did was.

Forget about him.

Even if they searched through the top-tier botany sects like Xuandan Sect and gathered all their best botanists, could any of them pull this off?

And even if they could, that person would definitely be a sect treasure, pampered like no other.

But Yun Jin… was just a brand new disciple of a mid-tier sect, having joined less than half a month ago.

At this moment, Ma Hongyu only had one thought in his mind.

What did Tianxing Sect ever do to deserve this?

With all her seeds sprouted, Yun Jin already secured her victory, but Ye Cheng wasn’t done. Feeling bored, Yun Jin let her rain cloud continue nurturing the soil.

The little sprouts also began growing taller.

And in the viewing stands, it was terrifyingly quiet.

The peak lords exchanged glances.

In addition to the first round, Yun Jin had effectively won two rounds.

Could she really… win the bet she made?
