The Strongest Urban Son-in-law

Chapter 2071: Chapter 2098: Hope Shattered

Bai Yue’s thoughts were racing, striving to comprehend that sword move. Everyone could clearly feel that at this moment, Bai Yue was gradually exuding Sword Intent, and that Sword Intent was continuously rising.

Bai Yue’s body gradually emanated a fierce aura. They all understood, with the help of the sword move, Bai Yue began to comprehend Sword Intent, and the rise in Sword Intent also indicated that Bai Yue was gradually understanding the sword move.

Holy Heart and Liang Hao’s eyes revealed hope once more; they knew there was still hope for success.

Although that hope was slim, they felt hope from the gradually increasing Sword Intent on Bai Yue.

This was different from the previous levels, entirely dependent on individual comprehension ability. Comprehension in such matters is hard to say.

What if it truly succeeded? At this moment, Sword Intent coiled around Bai Yue, and his aura was becoming fiercer.

Now, the Sword Intent had materialized, like the sharpness of a flashing blade, making them extremely excited.

They saw Bai Yue had comprehended Spiritual Level Sword Intent, and Bai Yue’s Sword Intent was continuously rising.

Soon, half a day had passed. At this moment, Bai Yue’s aura suddenly surged, Sword Intent became increasingly fierce, directly advancing from initial Spiritual Level Sword Intent to intermediate Spiritual Level Sword Intent.

Furthermore, Bai Yue’s Sword Intent was continuously rising, indicating Bai Yue was quickly mastering the sword move.

Another hour passed; Bai Yue’s Sword Intent advanced again, directly reaching advanced Spirit Sword Intent.

Bai Yue’s Sword Intent became fiercer and stronger, causing the surrounding space to ripple with waves.

Bai Yue continued to rise, and his aura became extremely powerful, incredibly astonishing.

Another hour passed, Bai Yue’s aura continued to rise. Liang Hao and Holy Heart excitedly shouted, ”Top-level Spirit Sword Intent!” If this continued, Bai Yue might successfully comprehend and master the sword move.

Yet Golden Robe, upon witnessing this scene, did not worry in the slightest. His face remained calm and composed.

”Boom!” Another hour passed, and finally Bai Yue’s Sword Intent reached the limit, only one step away from Heavenly Sword Intent. If Bai Yue took this step, he could successfully comprehend Heavenly Sword Intent.

However, Golden Robe knew things weren’t that simple. Soon, two hours passed, and Bai Yue’s aura showed no improvement, causing them to start feeling anxious, as only two hours remained.

With only two hours left, everyone was very anxious. Could Bai Yue succeed?

If Bai Yue succeeded, they would have great hope of passing the Divine-level test and surviving!

Time flew by quickly; soon, a day had passed. Golden Robe suddenly stood up and shouted, ”Time’s up!” As he spoke, Ye Feng, Liang Hao, Holy Heart’s gaze gathered on Bai Yue, filled with anticipation.

Bai Yue slowly opened his eyes, and Holy Heart and Liang Hao impatiently asked, ”How did it go, did you succeed?”

However, Bai Yue’s face became extremely ugly, incredibly pale, lowering his head in guilt.

”Sorry, I failed...” Bai Yue’s voice wasn’t loud, yet it clearly reached everyone’s ears.

Instantly, the entire space seemed to fall into silence; everyone was stunned, completely unable to accept it, suddenly despairing. They thought they had hope, but Bai Yue failed.

”Impossible! Wasn’t your Sword Intent rapidly breaking through earlier? Why did it fail at such a crucial moment, why, why did it fail?” Holy Heart shouted loudly, knowing their failure was complete!

”Tell me this isn’t true, you must be joking!” Liang Hao loudly questioned.

At this moment, the expressions of Liang Hao and Holy Heart became frantic; they absolutely couldn’t accept this result.

They always held hope, but in the end, it always shattered, turning into despair.

Bai Yue’s face looked extremely ugly: ”Sorry, I let you down. I still couldn’t comprehend that sword move! That sword move is too difficult for me, even if given years, even decades, I might not be able to comprehend and master it.”

”Is this really the end?” Liang Hao and Holy Heart’s eyes lost all light, already giving up.

Golden Robe sneered: ”How foolish. Miss Bai Yu was originally a Holy Sect-level Martial Artist; mastering Spiritual Level Sword Intent should be simple, but mastering Heavenly Level Sword Intent is extremely difficult. Only by comprehending Heavenly Sword Intent can you grasp that sword move; countless Sword Cultivators have been stuck at the Spirit Sword’s limit their whole lives, never progressing.

Thinking you can master Heavenly Sword Intent and grasp the sword move within just a day, how could that be possible!”

Liang Hao and others were already completely in despair, knowing they had no hope left. Holy Heart, Bai Yue, Liang Hao, three of them had already failed at three difficult-level checkpoints; Sword Qi extended by a hundred and twenty zhang.

Now, only one hell-level difficulty checkpoint remained. Even if Ye Feng could pass, Sword Qi would only shorten by fifty zhang, yet ultimately Sword Qi would still extend by seventy zhang in length. Currently, the maximum they could endure was only ten zhang in length, they were already powerless to reverse the situation. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t survive.

Liang Hao and others were plunged into despair; Bai Yue’s eyes showed guilt: ”Sorry, I got you into this, failed to seize the final opportunity, it’s all my fault. Without me, you could have succeeded!”

But at this moment, Ye Feng stepped forward: ”Don’t worry now, it’s not over yet, isn’t there one more level?”

Upon hearing Ye Feng’s words, Liang Hao and Holy Heart sat dazedly in place, already given up, not wanting to say a single word; they knew it was already powerless to reverse the situation, no matter how Ye Feng struggled, it would be useless.

Golden Robe smiled slightly, looking at Ye Feng: ”Kid, do you think there’s any point in continuing now? You’ve failed...”
