Spirit Ruin, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman - Chapter 26 Nine Revolutions Thunder Scripture

Ye Feng was swiftly able to acquire his first spiritual light. However, after taking a closer look, he frowned and casually tossed the spiritual light aside. He was evidently dissatisfied with the technique’s grade. It was clear he wouldn’t settle for anything less than a top-grade technique. The incense stick’s worth of time was about to pass.

At this moment, Ye Feng only managed to capture two spiritual lights, both of which he discarded. His arrogance made him reject anything less than the best.

Swish!

Ye Feng reached out to grab a golden spiritual light, but it suddenly changed direction and slipped past his fingertips. Without hesitation, Ye Feng twisted his body in mid-air, forcefully altering his trajectory, and managed to catch the spiritual light with his feet.

Li Guanqi couldn’t help but shake his head, thinking that Ye Feng would probably choose this technique just because it had a relatively powerful aura compared to the other spiritual lights. As expected, when Ye Feng saw the technique within the spiritual light, his face lit up with joy. It was barely within the incense stick of time that he was able to grab this technique.

Ye Feng exerted force under his feet, leaping onto a platform about ten meters high.

“It looks like this technique is quite rare. The speed of its spiritual light was almost too fast. But luckily, I barely managed to get a top-grade technique,” Ye Feng said, looking provocatively at Li Guanqi.

Li Guanqi glanced at the name of the technique. “Golden Dawn Heart Technique.” It seemed to be a suitable match for Ye Feng’s spiritual root, and it wasn’t bad at all.

Li Guanqi lamented, “Well, it looks like I won’t be able to keep my spirit stones.”

Ye Feng laughed heartily, patting Li Guanqi on the shoulder. “Haha, don’t worry. I love to gamble, and I’ll bet on anything. So, if you lose, I’ll only take half of your spirit stones.”

“I, Ye Feng, am a great gambler, and I always keep my promises.”

Li Guanqi shrugged, slowly descending from the platform, and entered the arena. He had already selected his target, a swiftly moving purple light.

As Li Guanqi entered the arena, his entire demeanor underwent a sudden transformation. In the surprised eyes of Ye Feng, he seemed to move faster than before, heading straight for a purple spiritual light in the air.

However, that spiritual light was incredibly fast, and in just a few breaths, it had slipped through Li Guanqi’s fingers several times. Then, in that moment, while still in mid-air, Li Guanqi suddenly turned his head to look at another purple light that was also shimmering.

As he was turning, Li Guanqi unfastened the sword coffin from his back, letting it fall directly from the sky as he followed downwards.

Seeing this, Ye Feng furrowed his brow and murmured, “Is he trying to reduce some weight to increase speed and agility with just a sword? But… just a sword?!”

Boom!

A muffled sound suddenly rang out. The sword coffin smashed through the solid ground, breaking through the green bricks beneath it. Li Guanqi, with both feet on the coffin, exerted tremendous force, causing the ground to shatter further.

Following this, Li Guanqi’s figure even left a blurry shadow as he dashed towards another purple spiritual light in the air.

As the spiritual light sensed danger, it accelerated in an attempt to escape the youth’s grasp. However, Li Guanqi didn’t give it a chance. A flash of light came from his bag of holding, and three spirit stones appeared in Li Guanqi’s hand. He flicked his wrist, sending the three spirit stones flying towards the spiritual light.

The three spirit stones disrupted the spiritual light’s path multiple times. Li Guanqi, who followed closely, was able to easily seize the spiritual light. However, during his inspection, the youth frowned. He distinctly felt that this spiritual light lacked strength.

Descending, he casually slung the sword coffin back on his body with one hand. Looking up, he saw Ye Feng with wide eyes and an astonished expression. He exerted force with his feet, leaping onto the platform like a gentle breeze. With a wave of his hand, he collected all the spirit stones and said with a smile, “Thanks for your generous contribution, Senior Ye. I’m a bit embarrassed about it.”

Only then did Ye Feng realize the situation and shouted at Li Guanqi, “You… you!!”

Li Guanqi innocently said, “What’s wrong, Senior Ye?”

Ye Feng took a deep breath and asked, “How heavy is the sword coffin behind you?”

Li Guanqi shrugged and said, “Five hundred pounds.”

“Five… five! Five hundred catties!!”

Li Guanqi remained silent. If this guy had been in the hall of Heavenly Water Peak that day, he would have definitely seen him lifting five hundred pounds worth of of millstones with one hand.

Ye Feng continued, “Are you currently at the Qi Refining stage?”

Li Guanqi spread his hands and said, “Yeah, the first layer of Qi Refining. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come to find a technique at this time.”

“My dantian has expanded a lot, and I haven’t practiced a technique that can convert absorbed spiritual energy into elemental power.”

Li Guanqi clearly felt Ye Feng’s fingers trembling.

“You didn’t mention that to me!”

“You didn’t ask either…”

“Alright! I won’t argue about these things with you!”

“But obviously, my technique’s spiritual light is stronger. I didn’t lose, right?”

Ye Feng’s face was full of defiance.

Li Guanqi was actually rather fond of this guy. Throughout the whole argument, Ye Feng didn’t mention the gains or losses of the spirit stones. It was all about the bet itself.

Li Guanqi could only show him the technique in his hand. Clearly written on it were a few large characters.

“Nine Revolutions Thunder Scripture! Low-grade Earth rank, upper half fragment.”

“It’s graded as an top-grade technique in here since it’s just a fragment of a full cultivation method. It leaves off after reaching the Golden Core realm.”

Ye Feng’s face fell in disappointment, and he wailed in regret, “Oh, I lost! Is my luck really this bad? I can lose even in this!”

Li Guanqi smiled faintly and waved, preparing to leave.

“You’re welcome to come and bet with me again next time.”

Ye Feng sighed heavily and looked at Li Guanqi’s departing figure, saying, “How about another bet for the first assessment in three months’ time?”

Li Guanqi smiled and asked, “What’ll the bet be for?”

Ye Feng thought for a moment and then, feeling at a loss, scratched his head, saying, “I haven’t thought about it yet. Let’s talk about it later.”

“I’ll definitely win back what I lost this time.”

Li Guanqi looked at Ye Feng’s bright eyes and said, “Do you want me to leave you some spirit stones for cultivation?”

Unexpectedly, the other party didn’t care about these spirit stones at all, casually waving his hand and saying, “It’s okay, I’ll have my family send some over later.”

The two of them descended the stairs together.

The second-floor senior brother was still pondering which technique to choose. When he saw Li Guanqi coming down, he simply pretended not to notice.

However, as the two were walking through the library, Ling Daoyan suddenly stopped them.

Looking at Li Guanqi with dissatisfaction, he said, “Pay up.”

“Ten spirit stones!”

Li Guanqi immediately understood what was going on and patiently explained, “Old Ling, it’s really not my fault. Ye Feng insisted on betting with me. I ended up exerting too much force and accidentally damaged the floor a bit.”

“But it doesn’t matter. My good brother Ye Feng said he’ll pay for me.”

Ye Feng, with a surprised expression, watched as Li Guanqi dashed away.

In the end, Ye Feng had to pay the ten spirit stones for Li Guanqi.

“Li Guanqi!! You owe me ten spirit stones!”

“I wonder if it’s bad luck for a gambler to be owed money by someone…”
