Ping Yang smirked.

She didn't even ask for help from Fang Zhengzhi or Yan Xiu. She immediately sprang into action, attacking the Heavenly Reflection State Xing Qingsui despite being in the Star Conglomerate State.

This was not a wise decision. It was too rash.

However, Ping Yang made the decision without any hesitation. Her crystal clear eyes were filled with arrogance, the arrogance of a princess.

There was also a hint of stubborness.

This was Ping Yang.

She unleashed the Blazing Qilin Spear, a tall column of flame shooting skyward. It crashed down towards Xing Qingsui, a golden light flashing in the sea of fire.

It was like a lamp in a storm.

"Roar!" The beast like aura filled the sky.

This was one of the ten greatest treasures of the Great Xia Empire, the most powerful weapon there was. It could pierce any material and burn the area to ashes. Who dared to go up against it?

The candidates near Xing Qingsui unconsciously retreated a few steps.

None of them dared to get too close to the Blazing Qilin Spear. Who knows if it’ll cause any collateral damage?

Furthermore...

They knew that if Xing Qingsui wanted to defeat the Blazing Qilin Spear bearing Ping Yang, his only chance was a roaming battle.

He had to dodge the lethality of the Blazing Qilin Spear.

If he could do so, he should emerge victorious.

However, against their expectations, Xing Qingsui did not dodge. Not only did he not retreat, he advanced and went into the sea of fire.

"Is he crazy?!"

All of the other candidates thought to themselves.

Yan Xiu’s calm expression also changed. In actual fact, he was still expressionless when Xing Qingsui challenged Ping Yang.

However, he became extremely solemn after seeing Xing Qingsui advance instead of retreat.

Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes also flashed with a curious glow. He knew how powerful the Blazing Qilin Spear was. He could not understand why Xing Qingsui wanted to meet it head on.

That being said, he knew that Xing Qingsui would not walk into his death.

Then, was he trying to find survival in the most dire of situations?

Xing Qingsui would obviously not stop to explain himself. He was incredibly quick, even faster than the Blazing Qilin Spear.

However, his Meteor black sword was dragging behind him, not raised to strike.

When facing a sea of fire, many people would have attempted to use water or unmeltable ice. However, Xing Qingsui had neither of these things.

Even so...

He managed to break through the sea of fire.

A subtle aura around him seemed to slice open the sea of fire. It was as if his sword parted the waves, allowing him safe passage through.

Fang Zhengzhi had once heard a famous quote.

Can you part the sea with your sword?

He did not know if anyone could do it at that time. But now, Xing Qingsui had done it. Furthermore, his blade was still dragging behind him.

"It’s battle spirit! Sword like battle spirit!"

"It’s no wonder he is the heir of the Stabilisation Constabulary. He has already realized the battle spirit of the Dao of all Creation at such a young age! He has also been hiding this ability in previous duels."

"I guess no one pushed him to use it before?"

All of the students who saw this scene stared wide eyed as they gasped.

"Battle Spirit?" Fang Zhengzhi seemed to understand.

This was almost like the Asura that Yan Xiu had showed previously. This Battle Spirit probably had the same effect, despite going by a different name.

However, Asura used killing to increase the prowess of the technique.

On the other hand, this Battle Spirit seemed to come from inside, allowing the user to charge forward courageously.

This spirit originated from one’s courage and grew stronger from the blood and fire of the battlefield. Xing Qingsui had made this battle spirit his field of control. Since it was as sharp as a blade, it could easily split open the sea of fire.

He was like a talented general wrecking havoc amidst mere soldiers.

Xing Qingsui and Ping Yang advanced towards each other.

They closed in quickly.

They were so close that the Blazing Qilin Spear was almost within range of Xing Qingsui’s forehead.

The spear had a golden glow at the tip. That was what gave the Blazing Qilin Spear its piercing power.

Xing Qingsui stared down the golden glow. His expression showed no fear. His blade finaly swung into action when the golden glow was less than an inch from his forehead.

He met the Blazing Qilin Spear with a simple stroke, his blade drawing a dark line in the air as it moved.

It clashed with the golden glow.

"Boom!"

A sharp blade aura exploded outwards from the merge of the Blazing Qilin Spear and the Meteor black sword.

"Bang bang bang..."

The blade aura smashed into the swords lying about the rocks, letting out metallic screeches as it passed.

"Kacha!" Countless blades broke!

The weapons parted after the merge.

Xing Qingsui retreated a couple of steps. After all, he was facing one of the ten greatest treasures of the Great Xia Dynasty. The most lethal Blazing Qilin Spear.

Even though he was in the intermediate stages of the Heavenly Reflection State, he was still knocked back.

Ping Yang was not thrown backwards by the impact. She charged forward, the Blazing Qilin Spear a mere five meters from Xing Qingsui.

She wanted to strike whilst he was frazzled.

The logic was simple.

Everyone knew that, but Xing Qingsui didn’t seem to be clear about it.

When Ping Yang charged forward once again, Xing Qingsui matched the charge, his sword trailing behind him just as he had done previously.

"Boom!"

The Meteor black sword and the Blazing Qilin Spear clashed once again.

The result was no surprise.

Xing Qingsui was thrown back.

However, he was thrown back a significantly shorter distance this time.

The spectating candidates all shook their head. Not everyone could realize the tiny details amongst such an intense battle. As a result, they did not understand why Xing Qingsui insisted on battling this way.

To them, this was a very stupid method, possibly even stupider than Ping Yang not requesting for help.

However, Yan Xiu did not shake his head.

He had spotted the tiny details.

The second time Xing Qingsui rushed towards Ping Yang in the same manner, he had been concentrating on how far Xing Qingsui was thrown back.

Fang Zhengzhi did not focus on the same things Yan Xiu did.

He was looking at Xing Qingsui’s expression.

Xing Qingsui showed no signs of fear. He charged on courageously, his courage seeming to build with each clash.

If Xing Qingsui was relying on his Battle Spirit,

Then...

This could only mean that Xing Qingsui’s battle spirit was getting stronger and stronger.

Fang Zhengzhi looked to Yan Xiu. He realized that Yan Xiu’s expression was becoming increasingly solemn.

"You realized it too?" Fang Zhengzhi whispered.

"Yup." Yan Xiu nodded.

"This is the Xing Qingsui you told me about before?"

"Yup, Xing Qingsui of the Stabilisation Constabulary!"

"What is your confidence level if you had to fight him?"

"None. No one is confident about going up against a member of the Stabilisation Constabulary."

"What are their origins?" Fang Zhengzhi asked.

"The Stabilisation Constabulary is the leading constabulary. However, they are the ones with the least history. When our ancestors set up the Great Xia Dynasty, the Stabilisation Constabulary was just a nomadic clan. However, when the country was stabilized, they had become one of the thirteen. Furthermore, they became the leader of the Thirteen Constabularies."

"Was there some chance encounter?" Fang Zhengzhi’s interest in the Stabilisation Constabulary was piqued.

"No, there was no coincidence in their growth. They managed to achieve everything through battle. They were not particularly talented, but they had a thirst for battle, a thirst that bordered on craziness. Even today, the Stabilisation Constabulary holds true to their roots. Every disciple is dragged off to the battlefield at the age of six. They start by being a stable hand, and slowly progress into the ranks of the army."

"Just like this?" Fang Zhengzhi stared intently at Xing Qingsui.

"Mm, the more intense the battle, the stronger the Battle Spirit of their disciples. Xing Qingsui is probably using Ping Yang’s Blazing Qilin Spear to refine his Battle Spirit!"
