Chapter 54: Each Gains Something
With the first sword, Void; the second sword, Annihilation; and the third sword, a massive lightsaber pierced through the body of the Crystal Dragon BSS. Xiao Jun launched three Greatsword attacks, leaving the Crystal Dragon BSS battered and bruised.
However, it seemed that the Crystal Dragon BSS was only momentarily affected by the initial Void attack. It shook its head and charged fiercely at Xiao Jun.
In response, Xiao Jun stubbornly sat down on the spot, either recovering or contemplating.
Lian Yun felt a bit helpless about this situation. He had initially intended for Xiao Jun to wield his Spiritual Power Greatsword. He was aware of this, but now it seemed that Xiao Jun was somewhat dissatisfied with his own swordsmanship effects and chose to ignore Lian Yun, immersing himself in his own understanding.
Despite his frustration, Lian Yun did not hesitate in his actions. Three hundred Greatswords formed a protective barrier in front of Xiao Jun just in case. Then, in three waves of thirty, sixty, and ninety, the Greatswords surged toward the Crystal Dragon BSS in layered assaults.
All were controlled using the Sword Control Technique, moving faster than the Crystal Dragon BSS could react. The thirty Greatswords caused it to pause, the sixty made it retreat, and the ninety sent it flying.
Although the results appeared satisfactory, due to Lian Yun's own issues, the Spiritual Power Greatsword was not stable. As a result, while he managed to send the Crystal Dragon BSS flying, one hundred eighty lightsabers nearly collapsed without inflicting much actual damage on the dragon.
However, Lian Yun was not overly concerned about this. While controlling another one hundred eighty Greatswords to attack the Crystal Dragon BSS, he retracted the initial one hundred eighty longswords into his body. Simultaneously, another one hundred eighty Greatswords materialized from Withered Glory at Lian Yun's unceasing fingers.
After more than ten minutes, although Lian Yun did not inflict significant damage on the Crystal Dragon BSS, he had kept it from raising its head until Xiao Jun regained his senses.
Once back to reality, Xiao Jun unleashed another series of three Greatsword attacks. Before the Crystal Dragon BSS could recover, he used Lian Yun's Greatsword to execute Void against it.
After that strike, Lian Yun's Spiritual Energy Greatsword shrank by more than half. Although much of that was due to consumption, such a powerful move also brought immense refinement.
As Lian Yun retracted this Spiritual Power Greatsword into his body, he immediately felt as if his Mental Power was visibly increasing.
Moreover, because this Spiritual Power Greatsword contained Lian Yun's consciousness, when Xiao Jun used Void, Lian Yun almost experienced a telepathic connection with him. In this selfless understanding, he unexpectedly grasped how to use Void.
This was something Lian Yun had never considered, and even if Xiao Jun knew, he wouldn't care, so Lian Yun didn't mind too much either.
Although it seemed that Lian Yun had gained a lot, Xiao Jun had also benefited significantly. Firstly, he deepened his understanding and application of sword techniques, and secondly, he gained considerable practical experience.
There was another point that would not arise between Lian Yun and Xiao Jun, yet was unavoidable: if a life-threatening danger appeared, Xiao Jun could escape first.
While the 'gains' between the two seemed relatively fair, Lian Yun always felt that he received more from Xiao Jun. Thus, he thought about how to increase Xiao Jun's rewards.
At this moment, Xiao Jun was using Lian Yun's Spiritual Power Greatsword under Guardian History to strike at the Crystal Dragon BSS with Void. This kept the Crystal Dragon BSS in a state of mental confusion.
Meanwhile, Lian Yun continuously recalled the Spiritual Power Greatsword used by Xiao Jun while also generating new ones. At the same time, he was absorbing Diamond Spirit Coins and Mental Potions. This was necessary because Xiao Jun's attacks indeed consumed a lot of Spiritual Power Greatswords.
Although Lian Yun wanted Xiao Jun to gain more rewards, he felt that if he imposed his will on the Spiritual Power Greatsword that Xiao Jun wielded, it might interfere with his understanding of sword techniques. Therefore, Lian Yun chose to remain silent.
As his Mental Power grew stronger and more resilient, and his internal spiritual energy became purer and denser, the Spiritual Power Greatswords produced by Lian Yun became increasingly solid and sharp.
During this time, Xiao Jun did not rely entirely on Lian Yun's Spiritual Energy Greatsword. Once his spiritual energy and mental state were restored, he launched a series of three sword strikes against the Crystal Dragon BSS before using Lian Yun's Spiritual Energy Greatsword to employ Void. Once his spirit and energy were replenished again, he resumed using his own powers.
After continuously attacking the Crystal Dragon BSS for three moments, Xiao Jun still couldn't kill it with Void. However, Annihilation and an attack akin to Sword One shattered the body of the Crystal Dragon BSS, unexpectedly leading to its demise.
In response to this, Xiao Jun displayed a rare hint of displeasure.
However, Lian Yun smiled and said, "Before we came to Yin Yang City, my grandmother told me that killing is permissible, but torture is not. Although we are facing Chaos Beasts now—perhaps they don't even count as living beings—they are still our opponents."
"So since we have killed it, we should also gain something from its defeat. Brother Xiao should not feel displeased."
Xiao Jun nodded, his gaze returning to its usual indifference.
For someone like him, a nod signified agreement and even approval. Thus, Lian Yun chose not to say more, though he felt a bit helpless. The spiritual energy contained within the thousands of Spiritual Power Greatswords had long exceeded what his body could accommodate.
Now, he was unable to recover it all; the waste of Spiritual Energy was inconsequential, but losing the insights gained from Mental Power would be a tremendous loss.
However, Lian Yun suddenly had a bright idea and decided to transfer the Mental Power from the Spiritual Energy Greatsword to his Three Golden Hairs for absorption.
Although the thoughts of the Three Golden Hairs were identical to Lian Yun's, their cultivation required individual training, meaning their Mental Power was far inferior to Lian Yun's own.
By transferring his Mental Power to them now, Lian Yun could invisibly enhance their Ghost Body constitution. However, the current realm of the Three Golden Hairs was still low; they had only just broken through to the King level. Thus, their absorption of Lian Yun's much more refined Mental Power wasn't particularly fast. Nevertheless, since they were essentially extensions of Lian Yun's soul, their Mental Power was completely sourced from him, allowing for a relatively swift absorption without any concerns.
The absorption took only about ten minutes. Afterward, both Lian Yun and Xiao Jun spent nearly six hours adjusting their mental and physical states to their optimal conditions.
Then Lian Yun collected several pieces of crystal left behind by the Crystal Dragon BSS after its body vanished—these were nearly half again as many as those from the first layer—before the two stepped side by side into the third layer.
The third layer of the Crystal Cave was filled with milky-white crystals that sparkled brilliantly in every direction. However, neither Lian Yun nor Xiao Jun had time to admire it because, at the very moment they stepped into the third layer, several swift attacks appeared right before their chests.
