Chapter 1317 Level Six Sword Potential


    Austin could sense very clearly that the human-shaped figure which the sword auras had formed


    possessed level five sword potentials.


    And there could be no doubt in that. He was sure in his assessment; the figure definitely had perfect


    level five sword potential.


    Judging by its spiritual sense, Austin could also sense that amon warrior, even one who had a


    level five sword potential in his repertoire, would be no match for the figure. It was far more powerful.

    Wait what?


    Austin suddenly eximed in astonishment; his vital energy had been sealed by some unknown and


    mysterious strength. He couldn''t use it!


    What''s worse, his magic treasure was also sealed. No wait, that wasn''t the worst of it!


    When he tried to ess his demonic avatar, he found out that it was alsopletely trapped inside his


    body, rendering itpletely useless.


    In despair, Austin found out that the only attacking method he could use right now, was to use his own


    level five sword potential.


    And that wasn''t his strong suit. In a nutshell, he could only fight the figure by making use of his sword


    potential. Other attacking methods like martial arts, magic treasure and bodily movement skill had been


    constrained. Now he and the figure were, in theory, evenly matched.


    Austin felt he was in a dilemma, as his sword potential was weak and other attacking methods were


    sealed.


    ''Well that''s no good. And a bit harsh.''


    Austin was dumbfounded and displeased too.


    It looked like he was going to have to defeat the figure by his sword potential alone.


    Though he was annoyed, Austin also grew a lot of respect for the Sword Emperor''s formidable powers.


    The Trialing Corridor created by the Sword Emperor was powerful enough topletely seal off his


    demonic avatar. Even a demon itself couldn''t have sensed that presence inside him, but the corridor


    had done so, and trapped it in.


    And doing this was no joke. Austin''s demonic avatar had the power of a demon emperor, which was


    much more powerful than any other demons.


    However, the figure itself did not give Austin much time to exim at the Sword Emperor''s powers.


    It was closing in on him. Fast!


    A fight was imminent.


    Whoosh!


    A sword suddenly appeared out of thin air in the figure''s hands, as if its hands had been the sheath.


    The sword already looked rather formidable, and when wielded by a figure which had perfect level five


    sword potential going in his favor, the sword seemed to be dancing with an elegant shadow, letting out


    a powerful pressure.


    Countless blurs of sword auras began to strike Austin from all angles.


    Austin hurriedly took out the Ancient Dragon Sword from his Space Ring andunched his own attack,


    initially hitting at the sword auras to dispel them from causing him any harm.


    Although the power of the Ancient Dragon Sword had been somewhat weakened in the corridor, it was


    still a primeval magical treasure and therefore, incredibly sharp and furious.


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    A fierce battle broke out in the corridor. The two swords were now shing with each other like two


    nimble dragons, even their mere sword potentials creating one hell of a ruckus in the silent space


    around them.


    What made the fight even more incredible to look at was that Austin and the figure were not using any


    kind of sword arts any more. They were trying to steal the final victory by theirmon sword auras


    only.


    However, even those sword auras were incredibly pure and powerful and perhaps even more


    dangerous than actual physical fights.


    Several minutester, Austin began to feel that his sword skills were falling shorter than he would have


    wished for.


    The figure had clearly grasped level five sword potential, just like Austin.


    But its sword potential was much more pure and powerful than Austin''s.


    In other words, Austin hadn''tpletely mastered that art. He was still a novice, while this figure had


    grasped perfect level five sword potential.


    As time went by, the figure showed no signs of slowing down or relenting, and Austin found it more and


    more difficult to defend himself from the former''s incessant attacks.


    Puff!


    A few minutester, the figure finally managed to find apse in its opponent''s movements and stabbed


    instantly into Austin''s chest with a pure sword aura.


    Feeling the cold steel and pain inside his chest, Austin looked down and found a six-inch wound,


    streams of blood spurting from it.


    This mysterious figure was too freaking powerful.


    But Austin was not the kind of person who would give up so easily. He quickly readied himself up and


    once again wielded his sword, this time attacking even more swiftly. It did not work, though.


    Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff...


    A dozen sword auras hit Austin''s body once again, creating several more wounds all around him.


    Streams of blood spurted from everywhere over his body.


    Some of them even prated his flesh.


    Austin smiled bitterly.


    He then brought out a bottle of Magic Sea Water with one hand from his Space Ring and quickly drank


    it up.


    The Magic Sea Water could heal his wounds promptly.


    ''Damn it! There''s no way I am going to be defeated by that thing!''


    Austin was getting more and more furious about this trial, though he hadn''t lost his head just yet.


    He knew that he was going to be dead-meat if he failed the trial, which he would, if he lost his head.


    As the battle went on, Austin finally found one silver lining. The figure''s power levels were fixed, but he


    himself was built not like that. With passing time, Austin began toprehend more and more about


    the sword potential.


    Right now, inside Austin''s Soul Sea, was stored all the Sword Emperor''s knowledge of sword arts.


    He just needed to study them and get better at swordsmanship. That was one advantage over the


    figure he had, since thetter could not improve.


    And Austin''s potential had been activated during the cruel battle.


    Therefore, Austin began to study the Sword Emperor''s swords skills inside his Soul Sea.


    At the same time, he also released his sword potential and ordered it to fend off the figure''s attacks.


    The time to attack offensively hadn''te yet. He only had to stay alive till he got better. He was


    multitasking!


    Gradually, Austinprehended more and more about the sword potential.


    His sword arts also began to strengthen itself.


    Although he was still being constantly bombarded by the sword auras the figure was releasing


    incessantly, his chances of being hit were actually getting lower now.


    The tormentsted one more hour when finally, Austin finally found a reason for his spirits to lift.


    He had finally mastered perfect level five sword potential. It felt great!


    And now, since the power of his sword auras had increased


    Austin couldpletely defend himself from the figure''s attacks. Every blow that had previouslynded


    on him began to miss.


    Also, he seized his chances whenever he found a crack in the puppet''s defenses and fought back.


    Now, the puppet couldn''t harm him at all. They were evenly matched. Stalemate!


    Not only that, as time progressed, Austin began to have the upper hand in the fight.


    Fortunes seemed to have turned into his favorpletely, because several minutester, something


    unexpected happened.


    Crack! Crack! Crack! !


    A clear cracking sound rang around in his spiritual soul like a chick was trying toe out of its egg.


    Austin had mastered level six sword potential now!


    He was overjoyed about the fact that his swordsmanship was developing and he had be more


    powerful.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...


    Austin wielded the Ancient Dragon Sword with a firm hand and once again, released several sword


    auras to attack the puppet.


    Crack! Crack! Crack!


    The figure was getting beaten back and had slid several meters away.


    Now it was not a match for Austin at all. It only had level five sword potential while Austin had level six


    sword potential. The disparity was so wide it wasughable.


    This was the point where Austin could crush his opponent almost too easily.


    The battle was drawing to its end.


    Finally, Austin managed to directly hit the head of the figure with his Ancient Dragon Sword, and a


    wondrous thing happened!


    The figure exploded into a million tiny pieces of sword auras


    that got scattered all over the sky.


    However, those auras did not just vanish into thin air. Instead, Shoop! Shoop! Shoop!


    They headed straight towards Austin and entered his body before


    he could react.


    Austin found to his great astonishment that the sword auras were not harmful. Instead, they all


    transformed themselves into sword cultivation bases once they entered inside him.


    Atst, his body absorbed every single piece of sword aura around him.


    Now, there was a feeling inside him which said that he could control these sword auras with his mind


    easily.


    His level six sword potential was alsopletely consolidated.


    "''I made it through, finally. Whew!


    I wonder what kind of treasure the Sword Emperor will give me for winning this trial!"


    Austin took a deep breath, his eyes filled with expectation and hesitation, not knowing what was to


    So he stepped forward evenly.


    Bang!


    A carved wooden box suddenly fell down right in front of him. It seemed to have materialized out of thin


    air. There seemed to be a gleam of treasure from inside it.


    Oh?


    Most probably, the treasure was hidden in this wooden box. Wonderful!


    Austin walked forward and opened it, his eyes fixed on it, as if he were in a daze.
