True Solution of the Sword Dao

"Let’s give it a try then,"

Lin Fei’s expression was indifferent as her figure instantly vanished.

Ning Shuang narrowed his eyes, and suddenly countless ice crystals emerged around him. The snow-white ice crystals reflected the sunlight above, becoming exceptionally clear and translucent. The numerous ice crystals were suspended in the air beside him, motionless as if they were set in place.

Around him, there was not a trace of Lin Fei’s shadow. Ning Shuang calmly picked up an ice crystal beside him and gently squeezed.

With a crack, the ice crystal shattered like glass, and countless fine silvery-white fragments scattered in all directions like rain, instantly covering the entire area in front of him.

Ding!

A faint sound of clashing came from behind him, and Ning Shuang’s gaze sharpened as all the ice crystals beside him suddenly shattered.

As the continuous cracking sounds rang out, countless silvery-white fragments exploded in all directions, enveloping the roof in a storm of ice crystal shards.

Lin Fei appeared behind Ning Shuang, the tip of her sword had pierced through an ice crystal and was almost touching Ning Shuang’s body. But the exploding shards forced her to quickly retreat. Suddenly, tassels appeared in front of her, shattering and reforming as the flying ice crystal rain pounded them.

Strangely, these ice crystal shards seemed to affect only Lin Fei and not the surrounding objects or the rooftop, as they simply passed through them like illusions.

"You are now in my dream realm. All attacks are effective only against you, so don’t even think of escaping," Ning Shuang said with a smile.

Countless tiny ice crystals surfaced again in front of him, still suspended in the air.

Lin Fei vanished from her spot once more, moving swiftly as everything around her seemed to blur. All she could see was Ning Shuang standing opposite her, a blue glow flickering in her eyes as she crouched and darted forward.

The moment she disappeared, the countless ice crystals around Ning Shuang exploded again, sending a storm of ice crystal rain in all directions.

"It’s useless," said Ning Shuang with his arms crossed, as suddenly a huge white ice crystal, as tall as a person, emerged in front of him. The giant ice crystal reflected everything around it as if it was a mirror surface.

Clang!

The tassels around Lin Fei blocked the ice shards, and the tip of her sword instantly struck the surface of the large ice crystal. But with a harsh screeching sound, the sword tip penetrated only half the thickness of the ice crystal before it stopped and disappeared again.

Boom! Countless blue flames instantly ignited the whole ice crystal, with huge flames splattering in every direction.

Ning Shuang’s expression changed drastically as he hastily retreated.

Hiss!

The silvery tip of the sword reappeared in front of him, followed by the indifferent Lin Fei.

"How could it be restrained so powerfully?!" Ning Shuang’s eyes were filled with suspicion and incredulity. "Since my awakening, you are the first Dream Eater that can completely counter me. I’ve realized the world is indeed full of wonders."

As he spoke, ice crystals constantly formed in front of him only to be pierced by Lin Fei, but they did manage to stop the advance of the longsword. The two maintained nearly the same speed, retreating quickly.

Bang!

The two figures smashed through the wall of the staircase behind them.

As the longsword was about to pierce him, Ning Shuang’s body suddenly turned into countless white streams, scattering in all directions.

The streams reformed on the other side of the roof, revealing Ning Shuang, his face slightly pale. With an ugly expression, he stared at the collapsed staircase area where a black figure instantly reappeared with a swoosh.

"You’ve got quite a few tricks," Lin Fei shook her longsword, and a bit of entwined white stream at the tip immediately dissipated.

"To reach this level of battle was unexpected," Ning Shuang said earnestly, "Our strengths are not much different. Although you counter me, I am overall stronger than you, and my combat style restrains you. There’s probably no need to keep fighting to the death."

"You think you restrain me?" Lin Fei chuckled lightly. Suddenly, the phantom of a massive Divine Beast loomed behind her, her eyes lighting up with a blue glow.

Ning Shuang’s expression changed dramatically, and his mouth opened as if he wanted to say something more.

Boom! An overflow of blue flames erupted. Lin Fei reappeared behind Ning Shuang with a smile.

With a snap, Ning Shuang, bathed in blue flames, suddenly shattered into countless ice crystals and quickly melted into nothingness.

***********

Yuan Yicheng held his longsword upside down, its blade covered in broken notches and fine cracks.

He glanced at the sword as he lifted it.

"This piece of junk could actually be made into a sword? It broke in one blow."

Before him, aside from the illusion snake, only the corpses of over a dozen Dream Eaters lay scattered on the ground.

The attack of the Heavenly Net Bright Moon Sword was too strange and lethal. Almost instantly, each Dream Eater received the Sword Bearer’s full-force attack, with each instance of moonlight signifying a full power strike at a True Force node.

Thus, in a moment, fifteen Dream Eaters perished, leaving only the illusion snake alive because she always placed herself in an independent dream realm, switching her real location, which meant that she wasn’t actually standing where she was seen but hiding in a corner somewhere. That’s how she narrowly escaped disaster.

This was also why she could still recover after being sliced into countless pieces, but even so, the illusion snake looked extremely pale. She hadn’t understood how the opponent had attacked her. Just by standing at the doorway and saying a few words? Yuan Yicheng had barely even moved.

"Who exactly are you!"

Yuan Yicheng was also somewhat curious; this person had been cut into countless pieces and still hadn’t died.

"An immortal body? Unlikely."

"Do you know the consequences of opposing my Wu Family?" the illusory snake threatened fiercely, yet its body behind continued to slowly disperse and transform into a grey evil aura, which rapidly seeped into the ground.

"Forget it, it doesn’t matter anymore." Yuan Yicheng raised his sword again.

Clang!

A crescent moon suddenly shone bright.

The illusory snake’s expression instantly froze. Its entire being suddenly exploded into countless streams of grey airflow.

After all the airflows in the room had settled, a mangled corpse lay on the floor, hidden in a corner of the room, but it still couldn’t escape the envelopment of the True Force of the Heavenly Net Bright Moon Sword.

Yuan Yicheng shook his head, "Although I don’t know your exact location, I don’t need to know." He turned and left the room.

In the corridor, Lin Fei stood with her longsword, leaning against the wall waiting.

"Sword Master."

"Let’s go," Lin Fei said indifferently and turned to leave.

******************

Rainbow Hotel, Top Management Office

With a slight hissing sound, a figure suddenly appeared by the open window. The curtains lifted slightly with the gust of wind brought by the newcomer.

The sun shone diagonally through the window, casting the person standing in the shadows of the light. It was Lin Fei.

Lu Jun was the only person in the room.

The seated Lu Jun quickly stood up, offering his seat and moved to one side. He was becoming increasingly unable to fathom Lin Fei’s strength.

Lin Fei sat in the leather chair with a calm face.

"This time, the reinforcements sent by the Wu Family have been wiped out. They probably won’t send any more troops. They’ve likely miscalculated the strength of the other major forces and are rapidly searching for alliances, preparing for a decisive battle. They can’t afford to waste too much strength on a minor place. This area should remain quiet for a while."

Lu Jun stood respectfully to one side. The youth before him, almost the same age as his own daughter, seemed to carry an increasingly heavy aura, almost making it difficult for him, who was accustomed to high positions, to catch his breath. If there was any condescension or underestimation based on Lin Fei’s age in the past, those thoughts had now vanished without a trace.

"We can hardly investigate the Wu Family’s situation. If their fights are like the records, they are definitely conducted in the Dream World. Our Inner World has virtually given up on making contact with them."

"I know, just manage this place well. If necessary, seek help from the Swordsmanship Club," Lin Fei wasn’t planning to take all the Combat Power with him. He intended to leave Yuan Yicheng here, and Shuang’er too, but he couldn’t refuse her earnest pleas, and could only agree to take her with him when leaving. However, with Xu Ruoruo in the Swordsmanship Club, now imbued with True Force, she could at least match a D-ranked fighter. She should be able to hold the fort in Ping City.

The only concern was Lin You. The current problem was not knowing whether Lin You had reached the stage of her previous life when she provoked powerful enemies.

Lu Jun nodded, "Rest assured, I will handle everything." He knew that everything he had was thanks to Lin Fei before him, so he didn’t dare to be negligent.

"Before I leave, I will also make arrangements," Lin Fei said, picking up the Golden Pen from the table and slowly spinning it between his fingers.

*******************

"Huff... huff... huff..." Lin You was gasping for air, bent over, sweat raining down her body. To her, the concrete floor beneath her feet seemed so adorably soft.

"The ground feels so soft... Lying down must be so comfortable," she thought dizzily. A voice in her head kept repeating, ’Lie down, just lie down.’

Around her was a spacious warehouse, completely empty, purely for training purposes. A large incandescent light hung from the ceiling. Apart from ventilation, even the doors were tightly closed.

Somehow, Chris had managed to lease an abandoned warehouse for a year and simply used it as a training ground.

Lin You was undergoing her excruciating torment inside.

Smack!

A bamboo stick lashed down on the ground.

Chris walked over with a calm expression, her pale blue eyes observing Lin You, who was nearly at her limit.

"You’re still only halfway to the required amount."

"Chris, just... just kill me. I can’t do this anymore~~" Lin You said weakly.

"Surpass your limits," Chris responded calmly.

On the side, the black cat Feil, equally drained due to the transfer of sensations, said with a weak voice, "Little You, keep it up! Remember what you said in front of your brother?" She mimicked Lin You’s voice, "Three or five guns, piece of cake!"

Lin You’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment. She struggled to stand up straight, her eyes once again filled with determination.

"Continue!"

Chris took out the stopwatch again.

"Due to the two-minute break, it will take half an hour longer to achieve the desired effect. Let’s start."

Lin You focused again. Thin layers of ice started to form on inconspicuous parts of her body.

"No need to continue, just stop now. The connection has been broken anyway. Today’s a good day to analyze your problems," an elderly voice suddenly rang out. (To be continued.
