Dual Cultivation God Returns

Chapter 678  Domain

"Haha, be careful to not be caught off-guard. To be honest this one is quite something. I wanted to try it out when I heard Sister Ye Ling compare it to her Heaven Transcending Lotus, and nearly lost in the first exchange", Bi Rui shook her head with a wry smile, causing Wu Long to raise his eyebrow.

Ye Ling's Heaven Transcending Lotus was a technique praised by the Sword God, and even if she conceived its very basics quite early on in her life, it was still perfected and fleshed out for so long it could be considered one of the more powerful sword techniques in the entire Seven Boundless Worlds, though it was nowhere near famous or well-spread.

For her to compare it to Wu Mengqi's sword technique that was only in progress was a very high assessment.

Not to mention, that Bi Rui was already quite an accomplished Spearmaster. Although she was not even close to Wu Long's level yet, she was very formidable for a cultivator in her Cultivation Realm.

He nodded with an intrigued look on his face, and a sword appeared in his hand, while Feng Yi and Bi Rui both took a distance and started closely looking.

All of his ladies loved seeing Wu Long's Martial Arts, not only because they found him incredibly attractive while he was performing them, but also mesmerized by the beauty of the skill taken to a kind of extreme.

Though he always said he was a "jack of all trades, master of none", they knew he was simply too ambitious to recognize his current skills. His standards and requirements to his own skill was too high, so high anything short of the best in any particular skill became worth next to nothing in his eyes.

The wind blew past as Wu Mengqi stood across him, her face smiling with a usual uplifting and friendly expression.

Contrary to Bi Rui, Feng Yi or Shen Min whose expression became colder and sharper in battle, both Wu Mengqi and Ye Ling did not change their expressions much when they wielded their swords.

"Here I go", the beauty spoke with a light tone of voice as she stepped forward, as Wu Long chuckled with a nod.

*Clang! Clang!*, the two swords collided two times at different angles.

'Heh, I see why Rui'er didn't expect it', Wu Long inwardly noted, parrying the relentless attack with no problem and forcing the beauty to retreat.

Wu Mengqi did not waste time to go in for a new series of light strikes, her sword moving lightly and playfully, as if leaves carried by a whimsical wind.

The more time passed the more Wu Long recognized the potential of this sword technique.

The beginnings of this style could be observed before, when she broke out into her own style of swordplay, but now there was a certain rhythm to it, and a sense of direction.

At the same time, it was almost the polar opposite of the Heaven Transcending Lotus, there was playfulness and even at times ferocious energy in her strikes, and the rhythm that did appear was complex and fast-paced, switching tempos, sometimes almost unrecognizably, and sometimes sharply.

The style was still very rough, but he could see why Ye Ling praised it.

Meanwhile the two observing the spar widened their eyes, their gazes focused on Wu Long. He did not have absolutely any hardship adapting, as if he had been sparring against this style for centuries and knew its details down to the most obscure ones, calmly standing his ground and never conceding dominance.

No matter how much Wu Mengqi struggled for control, she was still completely within his grasp.

Even as he allowed her to control the timing and mostly defended, so that she could demonstrate her new sword technique, there was still a feeling that he controlled the entire field, and could stop going along with her pace at any moment.

"So this is... the power of Domain...", Feng Yi spoke as she could feel that there was something within Wu Long's ability to dominate his surrounding space with the sword, starting to finally see the difference between someone who achieved a Sword Domain, and someone who did not even when they were not actively using it.

Bi Rui also nodded, as she could see it as well.

They could see this contrast because they saw Ye Ling sparring with Wu Mengqi not that long before. While the former was a master Swordswoman, and her skills also far outmatched Wu Mengqi, there was no feeling that her sword completely controlled the entire field around her like with Wu Long.

Bi Rui then noted that there was also another reason they noticed this.

'Hmm, he seems a bit... harsh', Bi Rui looked with a bit of surprise as he usually did not show that he had this much control over the battle so bluntly. Especially enough to let them feel his Domain control.

'Ah...', and then it dawned on her, that Wu Mengqi had a tendency to slack off with training, and especially if she was certain that her skills were good at the moment.

He could feel it in her sword. The praise from Ye Ling and her ability to slightly outmatch Bi Rui, one of the more skilled weapon wielders within the Dao Family after Ye Ling, were starting to elevate her faith in her skill. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Gradually, frustration accumulated as Wu Mengqi's style began to become stiff and lose its edge.

"Haa~ haa~", she finally took a few steps back, lowering her sword, and looking at Wu Long who had a sincere and calm expression on his face, a wry smile slowly appearing on her face.

"Honey~! you could've just concede one step at least~", she then made a pretend crying face that he found incredibly cute, laughing a bit as she sprang forward with a glint in her eyes and a loud "Got you!"

Though her attempt was thwarted with complete ease, as her sword flew to the side and she was tightly held in his free arm.

Though it did not seem that she was surprised by this development, rather, as if she predicted this exact scene, comfortably leaning to him.

"Haa~ fail~", she made a sulking face, and he chuckled, giving her a light kiss on the lips.

"Mm, the style is good", he then smiled and she rolled her eyes.

"Says you after destroying me in this spar", she complained as he began laughing, and Bi Rui exhaled with a bit of relief.

Bi Rui also realized that Wu Long would not be so harsh if he didn't know that Wu Mengqi could take it. She did not even get discouraged, only more determined as she recognized that there was so much space to grow.

"But really, I can see why Ling'er was giving you so much credit. I am excited to see what this technique will look like in the future", he then spoke with a more sincere voice as a light blush with a smile appeared on the face of the beauty in his arms.

"Hehe, well, I did cheat by asking Sister Mingyu and Sister Cui to accompany me for training~", she then made a shy comment.

"Who says that's cheating? It may be an incredible advantage over those who do not have such a luxury, but having an advantage is not cheating. Mingyu and Cui'er want to practice their skills as well, so it is mutually beneficial as well. I myself rely on the two lately", he chuckled.

While Gong Cui's ability was something all practitioners of the Music Dao were able of doing if they learned to, she was leagues above her peers, and thus her help was an incredible advantage.

As for Luo Mingyu's Dao Intent, that was something unique that no one possessed, and even in its current state of being in beginning steps of the process of formation, it was already a game changer, both for Wu Long and his Dao Family.

The two's powers combined could be said to amplify one's potential growth to double already, and only the future would show how much that would improve in the future.

He took time to spar with Bi Rui next, and then oversee Feng Yi's practice, giving all three beauties some advice before retreating to a terrace where Luo Mingyu and Gong Cui sat to mutually improve their skills in the Dao Intent and Dao Music.
