Douluo Continent: The Sky Revealed, What the Hell is Honkai Academy?

Chapter 30 The Void Sword Domain, Sword Bones and Musical Heart, the Number One Swordsman in Douluo!
Unlike the bustling martial arts arena, this place is shrouded in mist, where the breath of life intertwines with the power of extreme cold and heat.

Beside the spring, the Tree of Life that Zhang Yi planted when he established the academy has grown into a towering ancient tree, exuding boundless vitality.

Below, a graceful figure in azure blue sat cross-legged. She wore an elegant white outfit with blue trim, her posture was as straight as a sword, and her face was exquisitely beautiful.

This woman is none other than Li Sushang, the Divine Sword Saint of Shenzhou and the successor of the Taixu Divine Sword.

Her face was slightly pale, and her breathing was somewhat unstable, indicating that she had suffered a serious internal injury.

The root cause of the injury was the exhilarating yet extremely dangerous sparring match he had previously had with Fu Hua, the Martial God of China.

Li Sushang used the extreme cold of the icy spring to suppress the burning pain, and also drew upon the abundant life force of the Tree of Life to nourish her injured body. Her brows were slightly furrowed, clearly indicating that she was exerting all her energy to heal her injuries.

Just then, the Heavenly Dao Light Pillar ignored the spatial distance, precisely pierced through layers of mist, and descended upon her!

The beam of light was neither scorching hot nor icy cold, but rather an incomparably pure torrent of energy, seemingly composed of countless tiny sword energies!
"This power is..."

Li Sushang suddenly opened her tightly closed eyes, her eyes flashing with disbelief!
Yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, black, black, black, red, red!

Nine spirit rings appeared beneath her feet, the last two of which were strikingly red!
Then, an amazing transformation occurred!

The terrifying configuration of five black and four red caused countless Soul Masters to gasp in shock!
The Taixu Sword Qi within Li Sushang's body, which had been somewhat stagnant, began to surge wildly during this sudden change, like a long-awaited rain after a drought!
Level 98!

Level 99!

The impenetrable barrier between levels ninety-seven and ninety-nine.

It was easily pierced like paper in the face of this force!
At the same time, Li Sushang's injuries healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, her originally pale complexion quickly returned to rosy, and the aura emanating from her body was even stronger than before!
At this moment, without Li Sushang needing to summon or make any movement, endless transparent sword energy naturally permeated her body. This sword energy joyfully surrounded her, emitting clear and melodious sword sounds.

Finally, above her head, a huge sword shadow, faintly visible and seemingly existing between reality and illusion, condensed—that was the manifestation of the Taixu Sword Qi Martial Soul!

The prototype of the [Tai Xu Sword Domain] naturally appeared around her, and the air within its range was cut apart by invisible sword energy.

The fusion of the Soul Bone with the Soul Bone made her eyes clearer and sharper, as if she could see through all the illusions of the world.

The golden light that descended from the heavens gradually receded.

Li Sushang stood up, feeling the unprecedented abundance of soul power within her body, as well as the more pure and sharp Taixu sword intent.

A broad, cheerful smile appeared on her lips, and she burst into laughter:
"Hahaha! That's great! That's really great!"

Immediately, Li Sushang, whose injuries had fully healed and whose strength had greatly increased, transformed into a sharp and incomparable sword light.

They vanished instantly from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, heading straight for the central training ground!

……

Honkai Academy, Central Training Ground.

On the training ground, everyone was still watching the details of Li Sushang's reward when the person in question suddenly rushed over in such a hurry.

Suddenly, a golden sword light pierced through the air, its sword energy soaring into the sky, and landed steadily in the arena, revealing Li Sushang's heroic figure.

Her gaze was intense, locking onto Fu Hua, who stood with his arms crossed in the crowd, and she spoke with high fighting spirit:

"Fu Hua! My injuries have healed, and I'm in better shape than ever before. Let's fight again! This time, we'll see who comes out on top!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then felt the undisguised pressure of a level 99 peerless Douluo emanating from her, as well as the sword intent that stung the skin.

Fu Hua adjusted her glasses and looked at her calmly, before she could reply. Zhang Yi stepped forward with a smile and stood between the two of them: "Su Chang, congratulations on your recovery and for taking another step forward, entering the realm of peerless masters."

Only then did Li Sushang notice Zhang Yi and the others present. She was taken aback for a moment, then clasped her hands in a respectful greeting and laughed heartily:
"So the Dean is here too. Thank you for providing this precious place to heal. But it is indeed thanks to this great era that I feel full of energy. I must have another spar with that old... cough cough, old friend Fu Hua!"

Her gaze fell on Fu Hua again, eager to try.

Zhang Yi shook his head, his tone filled with undeniable confidence, and smiled:

Zhang Yi waved his hand, then changed the subject, saying with a hint of teasing:
“Su Chang, it’s certainly a good thing that your strength has increased so much, but you can’t just rush back to challenge Fu Hua because you just received the Heavenly Dao’s reward.”

"Otherwise, even if we win in the end, it will be an unfair victory."

Upon hearing this, Li Sushang was slightly taken aback. She looked at Fu Hua, who had a calm expression, and then at Zhang Yi, who had a smile on his face.

The flames of war in her eyes subsided slightly, replaced by a sense of understanding and anticipation. Having known and fought against Fu Hua for countless years, she naturally knew the unfathomable depths of her old friend.

It doesn’t make sense that I can be on the list while the other can’t. If Li Sushang is the newly promoted Sword Saint of China, then Fu Hua is the God of War of China who rules an era!

"The dean is right!"

Li Sushang smiled smugly, sheathed her sharp sword aura, and cupped her hands towards Fu Hua, "Old friend, then I'll wait until you're on the list before we have a good fight!"

Fu Hua nodded slightly, still maintaining her calm and composed demeanor: "Of course, no problem. I'm not afraid of a fight."

Himeko laughed heartily: "That's more like it! Once Fu Hua breaks through too, you two can fight however you want, even if you tear a hole in the sky, it won't matter, because the Dean will cover for you!"

Zhang Yi waved his hands repeatedly, begging for mercy: "Ji Zi, please don't flatter me. I can't protect myself from the aftermath of the battle between two peerless Douluo. I just hope they can fight somewhere else and not destroy the school that I worked so hard to build over three years."

Theresa also skipped over: "Sister Sushang, you just broke through, you should stabilize your realm first!"

Rita produced a tea set from who-knows-where and elegantly served a cup of black tea: "Miss Li Sushang, please have some tea. Congratulations on your mastery of swordsmanship."

On the Honkai Academy side, the atmosphere was warm and harmonious. A new peerless Douluo had been born, and everyone was genuinely happy for him.

However, all the forces in Douluo Continent were silent at this moment, and only after a moment did they erupt in an uproar!
Li Sushang's appearance and her divine martial soul, known as the "Tai Xu Divine Sword," once again overturned the understanding of soul masters on the continent.

"Sixth place! Another one from Honkai Academy! The fourth Peerless Douluo!"

"A sword... sword energy is a martial spirit?! How is that possible?!"

"The Void Divine Sword, requires no physical sword? Sword energy arises spontaneously with a mere thought? What kind of realm is this!"

"Her sword intent... feels even purer and more... terrifying than that of the previous Seven Kill Sword Douluo!"

"That god-level domain, the Void Sword Domain, can assimilate all attacks and transform them into sword energy? How can I fight that? Am I supposed to fight myself?"

"A sword technique that ignores defense and strikes directly at the source, the Void Opening Heaven... Holy crap!"

"She was healing her injuries just now? She got injured sparring with that teacher named Fu Hua? My god, how strong is that Fu Hua?!"

"The Divine Martial Goddess? That mysterious dean is so confident in her, could her martial spirit ranking be even higher?!"

Exclamations, gasps, and incredulous murmurs echoed across every corner of the continent.

　The clumsy author has changed the Soul Ring age limit of the previously broken character to six black and three red. Thanks to the experts for pointing it out. I was so focused on the skills that I forgot about Soul Ring addition and subtraction. Apologies to the newbie~
