"I have no Dantian, Qi Sea, or Qi Pillar, yet it took me only four days to reach the Sword Essence Third Heaven Realm. Does that count? At the paltry level of Sword Essence Third Heaven, I withstood two attacks from a Sword Soul and survived. Does *that* count?"
Ye Tianling retorted.
"Twice?"
Die Xiyue was taken aback, finding it odd.
Wan Jianyun said thoughtfully, "It was indeed twice. This little whelp humiliated Jin Zhifu and took her purity, then tried to kill her to tie up loose ends. That activated the Life Sword Soul Guardian that old bastard Jin Xietian placed on her. He was struck by Jin Xietian's Guardian Sword Soul but managed to escape. A few days after recovering, he went to the Ye Race in Qingyang Town for revenge, where he was caught by Ye Cangqian and crushed by a Sword Soul unleashed at one hundred and twenty percent of its power. That's what led him to his current state."
