Chapter 141: Chapter 106 Sudden Enlightenment, Spiritual Slash, Eye-Killing Tsukuyomi Slash, Troublemaker Club (4K)
Another clash of swords, Xue Jing felt the tremendous force transmitted through the blade in his hand and sighed inwardly, impressed by his own strength.
"Boom!"
An intense power surged into the blade, and the \'Xue Jing\' opposite him performed the same action at the same time. The collision of their blades caused an explosion that cleared a nearly three-meter diameter vacuum in the rainy sky, sending both figures flying backward over ten meters.
At the same time, thunder and lightning sounded in the sky, providing light and casting countless shadows on the ground.
These shadows existed only for an instant, and both Xue Jings seized this moment, turning the shadows into black streams of air, igniting vast expanses of Dark Flame, and hurling them at each other with a roar.
The jet-black Shadow Flame, by nature not fire, only took the form of fire, possessed the pure power of Annihilation of matter.
The two surges of Shadow Flame collided, silently annihilating each other, and vanished into the air together.
...
After more than half an hour, the scene that Xue Jing had envisaged was almost completely destroyed, with jagged crevices and huge craters everywhere.
Xue Jing, unreserved and unconcerned about his surroundings, was devastatingly powerful.
The battle still hadn\'t ended, but his spirit was beginning to falter.
Continuous Consciousness Simulation and the high-intensity combat had drained his spiritual power almost to exhaustion.
With a thought, he stopped the fight, and the \'Xue Jing\' charging at him dissolved into countless pixel fragments.
"I finally understand how difficult I am to deal with," Xue Jing sighed.
Fighting against himself, he had meaningfully experienced his own strength.
Defense, speed, destructive power... All maxed out, an exaggerated level of comprehensiveness, a true Hexagonal Warrior.
He was at an impasse with himself, unable to determine a winner.
"Unless I am crushed and killed by an absolute show of brute strength... otherwise, as long as I can counter, it\'s very hard for me to lose... This is the charm of being a \'full bucket,\'" Xue Jing thought to himself.
With another thought, he exited the Consciousness Space.

Xue Jing sat cross-legged, placing the Crouching Rabbit Sword on his knees, and gently stroked the sword\'s sheath with his hand.
A strong bond, like that of blood kin, resonated from the palm that touched the Crouching Rabbit.
He could faintly perceive the \'emotions\' of the sword.
Calm, tender, and shadowy... like the moon above quietly gazing down upon the earth, undisturbed for a thousand years.
Sheathing the sword was like the dark moon setting, and drawing it was akin to the bright moon high in the sky.
Xue Jing sat still, as if enlightened.
Slowly, although he was not wearing \'glasses,\' his presence began to fade away.
Silver-white began to seep into his pupils, but unlike the previous indifference, contempt, and divine sensations, this silver-white was like the calm moonlight above, soft and peaceful, bringing a sense of security.
A squirrel holding an acorn scampered to Xue Jing\'s side, unafraid as it hopped onto his knee, sat down, and began to nibble on the nut.
A breeze passed by, and Xue Jing\'s gentle eyes turned to a carp in the lake.
Like moonlight softly raining down, gentle and silent, the carp was quietly sliced in two without even realizing what had happened to it. Its body, split in half, continued to gently sway without any struggle.
Seconds passed, and the bisected carp ceased to move, but from beginning to end, it showed no signs of pain or struggle; it passed peacefully.
Xue Jing extended his palm and lifted the squirrel from his knee, looking into its eyes with gentle silver orbs.
The squirrel curiously met his gaze, detecting no danger.
Xue Jing smiled, placed it on the grass, and then stood up, stretching lazily.
[During your exchange with the sword, your understanding of the Heavenly Blade Mindset deepened, and combined with your spiritual power, you achieved Sudden Enlightenment of a new technique, Weapon Strike Experience Points +1026]
[During your exchange with the sword, your understanding of the Heavenly Blade Mindset deepened, and combined with your spiritual power, you achieved Sudden Enlightenment of a new technique, Meditative Visualization True Experience Points +1582]
The soft silver-white receded from his pupils, and Xue Jing was overjoyed.
"Another Sudden Enlightenment, and a hefty gain of experience points!"
"The experience points are secondary, the most important thing is that I\'ve learned an interesting new move..."
He recalled the scene where he had just sliced the fish in the lake with a glance.
"If there are no accidents, this move is likely just a pure Consciousness Slash, it can only affect others\' spirits."
He speculated in his mind.
After all, what a Martial Artist can do is \'spiritually interfere with their own reality,\' not cut through material reality out of thin air like a superpower.
Yet, because of the Meditative Visualization True, his spiritual power had acquired the ability to interfere with reality outside himself. Thus, this Spiritual Slash actually possessed the substantial ability to cut through matter out of thin air.
"Incredible... Though this move is not very powerful, only barely able to slice a fish, it\'s clearly no problem to slit the throat of an ordinary person, making it invincible for stealth and assassination."
"Yet its true power lies in attacking others\' spirits... I don\'t know the effect for now, and Consciousness Simulation can\'t simulate a scene I\'ve never experienced. I\'ll have to find an opportunity to test it later."
