Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 898: Chapter 899: Sky-shattering Force! (4 Updates)

Heavenly Position Academy, East Courtyard Sword Team training ground.

“Only three days left, why isn’t Brother Feen back yet!”

As the newly appointed long-term benchwarmers, Ye Nanfeng, Yuu Sixian, and Lin Mochen were unlikely to have a chance to face off against the Royal Sword Team. However, Goo Tengfeng still hadn’t “given up” on them and continued to subject them to devilish training every day in this last month.

After a month, the few of them had improved their cultivation quite a bit.

“And Xiao Fan too, ever since he went to Flame Valley, he hasn’t returned.”

Lin Mochen shook a dice cup, feeling bored.

Recalling the “Flame Valley,” Yuu Sixian and Ye Nanfeng couldn’t help but shiver a little.

That hellhole could probably only be endured by someone “tough” like Jiang Xiaofan.

“Don’t worry, the final competition is about to start, both Ling Feng and Xiao Fan will definitely make it back.”

Xue Xiaolin walked over gracefully, her beautiful eyes fixed on Goo Tengfeng sparring with Lee Bufan on the platform, a slight smile formed on her pretty face.

In the past month, Goo Tengfeng had been diligently studying the “Infinite Sword Dao” taught by Ling Feng and had achieved some success. Additionally, both Lee Bufan and Mu Qianxue had each gained insights into one of the Great Tao techniques. So, even though they’re up against that legendary sword team in this final, there’s still a chance of winning.

“A dream that’s been held onto for so long, I never thought a day would come when it could be realized. I think the captain must be very happy.”

Gong Cheng had come over at some point, his eyes flickered with excitement. From the first day he joined the East Courtyard Sword Team as just an ordinary member of the second team, he gradually followed Goo Tengfeng to become the assistant captain, witnessing many teammates growing disheartened and then leaving dejectedly.

In the end, from the start till today, only he and Goo Tengfeng had persevered together.

Originally, he thought his days at the Heavenly Position Academy would come to an end quietly, and he’d end up going to the court or into the military, but everything changed with the arrival of Ling Feng.

Since Ling Feng’s joining, the East Courtyard Sword Team had gradually grown stronger, transitioning from an obscure team to become the strongest contender capable of challenging the Royal Sword Team.

All of this was hard-earned.

“Clang!”

On stage, the swords clashed as Lee Bufan and Goo Tengfeng each retreated a few steps. Seeing that most people had gathered, Goo Tengfeng couldn’t help but clench his fists.

“Only three days left! We must win this battle, for Ling Feng, and for everyone!”

…

Flame Valley.

“Clang! Clang! Clang!”

In the scorching valley, a constant sound of “ding ding clang clang” echoed as a dark-skinned youth, shirtless and holding an incredibly heavy big iron hammer, stood atop the volcano’s magma, repeatedly hammering a piece of iron that had been flattened to the extreme.

Or rather, a piece of iron sheet.

For almost a month, Jiang Xiaofan had been forging metal on the mountaintop, without a moment’s rest at night, as he had to help the Elixir Demon and Sword Obsession prepare charcoal.

All this charcoal had to be freshly made and specifically sourced from the Divine Iron Wood in the rear mountain, as hard as iron itself.

With Jiang Xiaofan’s brute strength, at most he could leave a shallow mark on the Divine Iron Wood with a single sword blow, so making those wood charcoals almost took him the entire night daily.

Then, once the charcoal was prepared, he had to continue forging at the volcano’s mouth during the day.

The Poison Fire near the volcano was already unbearable for ordinary people, let alone wielding a heavy hammer weighing over thirty thousand catties atop the volcano.

If the power wasn’t controlled well and the force was misdirected, it could break the rock layers around the volcano. Once the magma burst out, Jiang Xiaofan would be in life-threatening danger.

In the beginning, Jiang Xiaofan nearly died in the magma several times until half a month later, he gradually mastered the striking technique taught by the Sword Obsession, understanding what it meant to lift heavy as if it were light. With the heavy hammer striking the iron sheet, the power was concentrated at one point and did not spread from the iron sheet at all.

“Heh heh, that foolish boy has grown quickly!”

In the shadows, the Elixir Demon sat in a wheelchair, smiling as he watched Jiang Xiaofan hammering the iron sheet, his face showing a hint of appreciation.

“Heh heh, originally I wanted to slice that Ling Feng brat when a batch of little ones showed up at my door because of him, but looking at it now, he did send over a promising candidate.”

The Sword Obsession was clearly satisfied with Jiang Xiaofan’s performance, “In less than a month, he’s mastered the power control of the Sky-shattering Force. This foolish boy’s understanding of strength is in no way inferior to Ling Feng’s.”

“The key is, this boy is straightforward and doesn’t have Ling Feng’s scheming mind. You old devil, you finally found a suitable heir. Heh heh!”

The Elixir Demon snorted lightly. He initially saw Jiang Xiaofan as a promising material and wanted to teach him Fire Control Alchemy, but it turned out to be like playing a lute to a cow. In contrast, Jiang Xiaofan excelled in the Sky-shattering Force taught by the Sword Obsession.

After a few attempts, the Elixir Demon completely gave up and stopped competing with the Sword Obsession for the heir.

“You old devil haven’t spoken a decent word in hundreds of years. Only this one barely made sense.”

The Sword Obsession smiled proudly, then swiftly used a movement technique to jump directly to Jiang Xiaofan’s side, his expression resuming a cold demeanor.

“Sword Master!”

Upon seeing the Sword Obsession’s arrival, Jiang Xiaofan quickly put down his hammer and bowed deeply to the Sword Obsession.

Over the month, the Elixir Demon and Sword Obsession had both taught Jiang Xiaofan some things. As such, Jiang Xiaofan referred to them as “Master Elixir” and “Sword Master” respectively.

“Mm, you’ve done well today. You’ve captured the essence of the Sky-shattering Force, your month’s hard cultivation hasn’t been in vain.”

The Sword Obsession seldom praised others, yet couldn’t help but admire Jiang Xiaofan.

In every respect, Jiang Xiaofan’s performance over the past month was impeccable.

“Thank you, Sword Master, for your praise. Xiao Fan still has a long way to go!” Jiang Xiaofan sheepishly touched the back of his head and grinned clumsily.

“You silly boy.” The Sword Obsession shook his head, “The month is up, it’s about time you left.”

“Leave?” Jiang Xiaofan was initially stunned, and then suddenly realized, “Oh no, has it been a month already? I completely forgot! That means, Brother is coming back soon!”

“As per our initial agreement, I taught you for a month. You successfully completed the tasks I set for you every day. Now, you can leave.”

The Sword Obsession said indifferently.

“Thank you, Sword Master!”

Jiang Xiaofan bowed deeply to the Sword Obsession, “Sword Master and Master Elixir, although you haven’t taken me as a disciple, you will always be my masters in my heart. Thank you both for your care during this time. Once I help Brother defeat the Royal Sword Team, I’ll surely come back to visit both masters again!”

“Alright, alright, off you go, stop with the chatter!”

The Sword Obsession maintained a stern face, glancing at the big iron hammer on the side, he spoke in a deep voice, “Though this iron hammer is not a treasure, you’ve gotten used to it, so I’ll gift it to you. As for that iron sheet you’ve been hammering for a month, it’s already worthy of being called Ten Thousand Refinement Steel. I shall personally forge a sword for you from this Ten Thousand Refinement Steel.”

“Thank you, Sword Master!”

Jiang Xiaofan bowed deeply again to the Sword Obsession, then put away the big iron hammer with great reluctance before heading down the mountain, leaving Flame Valley.
