Chapter 747: Sneak Attack?? (Please Subscribe)_1

```

Almost the moment she used the technique, both she and her personal sword began to radiate light, their auras seemingly merging into one, indistinguishable from each other!

Of course, the most terrifying aspect was that her combat strength started to visibly soar at a tremendous rate, her entire being filled with an extremely sharp aura!

The disciples below all exclaimed, "My goodness! That's... that's the Earth-tier Martial Technique, Body and Sword as One! It allows one to merge their own aura with that of their personal sword, unleashing its maximum power!"

One of the disciples smacked his lips in admiration, saying, "I didn't expect Senior Sister Gu to have actually mastered this Earth-tier Martial Technique, truly frightening! That Xu Sheng over there is in big trouble now!"

Another disciple nodded, eyes gleaming as he said, "Indeed! Senior Sister Gu's cultivation level is already higher than Xu Sheng's, and now she's performed a power-enhancing Earth-tier Martial Technique! Xu Sheng's defeat isn't unjust!"

"To be defeated by Senior Sister Gu's Earth-tier Martial Technique, that Xu Sheng should also feel honored!"

Yun Cong gritted his teeth, saying gravely, "This is bad news for Junior Brother Xu! The boost from Body and Sword as One is quite significant, and the gap between their strengths has widened by a lot in an instant!"

Mu Yun said helplessly, "It seems that it's the will of the heavens! I didn't expect Junior Sister Gu to have learned an Earth-tier Martial Technique, she must have been aiming for the top spot! Xu Sheng, he has virtually no chance of winning!"

Mo Qingyue glared at the two of them with her beautiful eyes, reprimanding, "I say Big Senior Brother, and Second Senior Brother, why do you always lose faith in Junior Brother Xu whenever he faces a vastly stronger opponent?! Weren't those Golden Core Stage disciples defeated by him just the same!"

"Mo Junior Sister, don't be angry, we also have a lot of faith in Junior Brother Xu!"

"That's right, that's right, if he can use that Martial Technique that boosted him to the Nascent Soul Stage as he did before, he indeed might stand a chance of winning!"

On the other side, Mu Qingge, who was watching the scene unfold, spoke with a note of approval, "This Gu Linruo has actually managed to cultivate an Earth-tier Martial Technique, she is indeed a promising talent!"

Ling Luoyan spoke with a hint of pride, "That's only to be expected, I had mentioned before that I wanted to take Lin Ruo as a direct disciple, but she rejected it, saying that her strength hadn't reached that level and she was afraid of embarrassing me!"

The Peak Master of Medicine Imperial Peak analyzed, "With Gu Linruo displaying an Earth-tier Martial Technique, I'm afraid her power might have already reached the Golden Core Stage fifth or even sixth level, this Xu Sheng is in a bit of a pickle!"

Luo Qingyang waved his fan leisurely, saying nonchalantly, "It isn't over until the last moment; who knows the outcome? If Xu Sheng can once again use that Martial Technique that suddenly boosted his cultivation to the Nascent Soul Stage, the situation might just be reversed!"

That Martial Technique, it really defied all logic!

Typical power-enhancing Martial Techniques could at most improve one's cultivation by one or two levels, but Xu Sheng was able to forcibly elevate himself by two realms!

Muhuan expressed disdain, "Tch, using that kind of Martial Technique that forcibly enhances one's cultivation will surely have side effects, there's no way Xu Sheng could use it again so soon! Unless he has a death wish!"

Yun Churan glanced at Muhuan with her beautiful eyes and then turned to look at Xu Sheng on the stage...

She both hoped Xu Sheng would use that Martial Technique and yet wished he wouldn't!

Because using it again would only arouse Mu Qingge's suspicions! He would definitely try to find a way to acquire that power-boosting Martial Technique!

In the arena battle, Gu Linruo's beautiful eyes watched the hundreds of Spirit Swords attacking her without a trace of fear...

Just as they were about to hit, she moved; her delicate body disappeared in an instant, causing the Spirit Swords to lose their target and remain hovering in place...

Watching Gu Linruo disappear like a ghost, Xu Sheng's heart sounded the alarm...

The next moment, a chill emanated from behind him...

Almost at the instant he felt danger, he gripped the Tianyu Sword and slashed towards the rear...

```

"Boom!" the two personal swords collided once again...

But how could Gu Linruo, who had unleashed the Body and Sword as One technique, be so easily blocked? Her terrifying strength erupted in an instant, sending Xu Sheng flying backward...

Xu Sheng felt a sweetness in his throat and with a "Pfft!" he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood...

Gu Linruo gave him no time to catch his breath, attacking once more with immense fighting spirit...

Xu Sheng, who had slammed into the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and muttered under his breath, "Damn it! Second Layer Seal, release!"

Almost the instant the words left his lips, a shocking Shock Wave burst forth from his body with a "Boom!", sending the advancing Gu Linruo flying backward...

His aura also skyrocketed from the Foundation Establishment Seventh Level to the Nascent Soul Stage!!

Feeling her own body trembling uncontrollably, Gu Linruo's Beautiful Eyes revealed a rich fighting spirit as she said with a fiery tone, "You finally used that Martial Technique? I didn't expect you could use it a second time in such a short period!"

Xu Sheng, with his ink-colored eyes looking at the battle-driven Gu Linruo before him, sighed internally, "She truly is unique!"

Other disciples, upon facing the Nascent Soul Stage, would definitely panic and either flee or surrender, but this Gu Linruo was filled with fighting spirit!

Before he could ponder any further, Gu Linruo tightly gripped her personal sword which resonated just like his own, and rushed fearlessly towards Xu Sheng, striking swiftly...

Xu Sheng's eyes turned cold, "Yellow Grade Intermediate Martial Skill, Earth Splitting Wave!"

He slashed his Tianyu Sword towards the ground and in an instant, three pale yellow blades of light, each several meters in size, ripped forward...

Watching the terrifying blade light attacks approaching her, Gu Linruo's Beautiful Eyes narrowed, and she thought to herself, "Mid-Grade Profound Martial Skill, Flickering Step!"

In the next moment, her steps turned erratic, dodging the incoming attacks with agile movements!

Quickly closing in on Xu Sheng, she immediately swung her sword at him...

Xu Sheng stood still, appearing unresponsive in her eyes...

Seeing that her personal sword had struck Xu Sheng's body, Gu Linruo's face lit up with sudden joy, "I hit him!"

But in the next instant, her pupils shrank sharply, for Xu Sheng before her gradually vanished, leaving behind only an afterimage!!

As for Xu Sheng, he was actually behind Gu Linruo, a casual palm aimed at her back...

But human calculations can't compete with fate; she suddenly turned around, and Xu Sheng's palm changed course towards her chest...

He rapidly tried to pull back his strength, but it was too late to move away...

Unsurprisingly, his palm touched Gu Linruo's rather well-endowed soft spot...

Gu Linruo looked down and saw the hand touching her chest, showing a stunned and adorable expression...

And Xu Sheng, the person involved, was also petrified...

In an instant, the atmosphere of the entire duel arena became awkward...
