Time Manipulating System-Chapter 91
Chapter 91
Gu Yang spoke calmly, “As a swordsman, you actually threw away your sword.”
“You think you deserve to use a sword?”
After saying that, he rose and walked forward, then pulled the low‑grade spirit sword from Zheng Yuhe’s body.
Pfft
… blood gushed out like a fountain.
Gu Yang used true qi to block the blood; not a speck of dust stained his robes.
Once he withdrew the sword, all signs of life vanished from Zheng Yuhe’s eyes.
Zheng Yuhe, seventh on the Talent List, had fallen here.
Gu Yang glanced at the sword he had taken from Zheng Yuhe and smiled faintly.
He stored it in his storage ring, then took Zheng Yuhe’s storage ring and, turning back, picked up the mid‑grade spirit sword from the rubble.
He weighed it briefly and nodded slightly. “Not bad.”
After taking the mid‑grade spirit sword, Gu Yang left the pile of shattered stones.
Silence reigned in the palace.
All the princes stared dumbfounded at the screen, speechless for a long time.
That stunned silence lasted until Gu Yang departed. Only after he left did they recover.
“I didn’t expect… Gu Yang’s physical strength to be this terrifying!”
“This is terrifying! Gu Yang’s physical power… even the Fist Demon might not match this!”
“But Gu Yang doesn’t just have brute strength…he wields fist intent and sword intent…”
“Hiss… is this even humanly possible? How can he cultivate so many methods at once!?”
The princes exchanged excited, shocked comments. After their astonishment, they added, “But… Gu Yang actually killed Zheng Yuhe!”
“If the Sword Spirit Sect learns this… Gu Yang won’t escape easily!”
Elsewhere, Chu Linger stood dazed, still not fully recovered.
Gu Yang had won?
And he had won so easily…he had even slain Zheng Yuhe outright!
Strong.
Too strong.
Gu Yang was overwhelmingly strong.
Chu Linger’s heart brimmed with excitement and surprise.
She had thought she already believed in Gu Yang, but she had never imagined he would be this powerful.
However… if the Sword Spirit Sect discovered Zheng Yuhe’s death and learned Gu Yang had done it, they would surely move against him.
Chu Linger’s brows tightened. The Sword Spirit Sect ranked among Chu’s five great sects and housed countless powerful experts. Zheng Yuhe had been their top prodigy; his death at Gu Yang’s hands would provoke furious retaliation.
Chu Linger clenched her small fists. She could not allow that to happen.
After leaving the rubble, Gu Yang reached a clearing where he felt no prying gaze.
“This Purple Moon Secret Realm really has eyes everywhere,” he muttered.
The Golden Howl Dog’s area had been watched, and now the rubble site had been monitored too. Finding a peaceful spot proved troublesome.
He shook his head and pushed the distractions aside.
Gu Yang inspected Zheng Yuhe’s storage ring. It contained little. He flipped his palm, and a sword manual appeared.
Four characters were engraved on the cover: Sugu Sword Art … an Earth‑level, upper‑grade sword technique.
“This sword art suits my abilities,” Gu Yang said with a smile after skimming it. The Sugu Sword Art proved powerful; at the Earth‑level upper grade, few manuals could match it. One strike could invoke the aura of ancient swordsmen; if fortune favored him and he triggered a powerful swordsman’s aura, the unleashed force could become unimaginably terrifying.
Zheng Yuhe had only cultivated it to a minor completion, so its power remained limited. Gu Yang had dispersed that strike easily by unleashing four flood‑dragon strength…still, the manual counted as a fine sword art.
Gu Yang closed his eyes and focused. “Modify Sugu Sword Art…time: one thousand years later.”
Swish
… the modification completed. He opened his eyes as a tide of sword‑dao comprehension flooded his mind. The Sugu Sword Art reached perfection.
Even before perfecting the manual, Gu Yang’s extraordinary understanding of the sword allowed him to wield it effortlessly; any casual strike of his equaled an Earth‑level top‑grade sword technique. The modification strengthened his sword foundation slightly, but only slightly.
“Sword intent didn’t improve at all,” he murmured. He had fully grasped a complete basic sword intent to a small‑perfection level. To advance further, he would need to comprehend the great‑perfection sword intent.
He shook his head, rose, and prepared to continue exploring for new opportunities.
At that moment, a thunderous tremor rolled in from not far away.
Rumble! Rumble!
The earth seemed to quake; birds and beasts scattered. Gu Yang even saw some monsters flee in panic.
“Hm?” he raised an eyebrow. The disturbance’s direction suggested something significant was happening. He sensed waves of powerful true‑essence force coming from that way…clearly, people were fighting. Where people fought, treasures often appeared.
His eyes gleamed. He sped toward the source without hesitation.
About three kilometers away, a hidden valley lay tucked away. Inside the valley, a cold pool hid among the rocks. Frosty air radiated from the pool, chilling to the bone.
Not far from the pool, many people stood with grave expressions, all staring at the pool’s center. There, a small snow‑white lotus leaf floated, and atop it a pure white lotus swayed gently, releasing an enticing fragrance.
The Cold‑Jade Snow Lotus…an ultimate spirit herb. It usually formed in extreme cold and took centuries to appear. If refined and consumed, a Condensed True Realm cultivator had a high chance to break through to the Holding Origin Realm; a Holding Origin expert could raise a realm without side effects. Such a supreme herb naturally tempted every prodigy on the Talent List.
Everyone fixed their gaze on the Cold‑Jade Snow Lotus, eager to seize it, but none dared step into the pool…this cold pool proved extremely dangerous.
At that moment, a young man ranked in the nineties on the Talent List could not resist greed. Though only a peak Tenth‑Level Condensed True Realm cultivator, he hurriedly unleashed his true qi and stepped toward the pool.
The instant his right leg touched the water, his whole body froze and stopped moving. Within seconds, he turned into an ice sculpture, motionless.
The onlookers gasped, faces filled with horror.
