I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

Shen Ming's understanding of the word 'anger' was very direct. He transformed his own anger into thunder, and the white dragon, which had not yet absorbed the sword intent, charged forward into the square.

Ji Jiu sighed, as if he could see the white dragon dissipating.

Unexpectedly, the white dragon entered and, in a sudden, incongruous, and abnormal process, devoured the flying sword with the character "怒" (anger).

The white dragon swelled several times in size, and one could even sense the rage emanating from its head.

"Ok?"

Song Kyung-min's smile froze on her face. This wasn't right.

There was neither a way to resolve it with the Black and White Swordsmanship, nor did it follow the rules of the Black and White Chess game; it actually devoured the sword intent.

This was just the beginning. Shen Ming absorbed the knowledge according to his own understanding. The process was like playing Snake. The white dragon gradually grew stronger and stronger, eventually even surpassing Song Jingmin's black dragon.

Song Jingwen looked at Ji Jiu, wanting a reasonable explanation.

Ji Jiu thought to himself, "Why are you looking at me like that? Shen Ming isn't doing it the way you suggested."

Song Jingwen naturally noticed this, but what she didn't understand was how Shen Ming had managed to do it.

"His swordsmanship talent disregards divine wrath."

Ji Jiu could only come up with this explanation: Shen Ming's talent exceeded the limitations of the black and white chessboard.

"But this is a nine-star difficulty level."

Song Jingwen was incredulous; even her brother, Song Wanjian, couldn't have done something like this.

How could someone from outland have such talent!

No matter how unwilling she was to believe it, the fact was the fact. Looking at the black dragon on Shen Ming's side, Song Jingwen regretted coming in to play against him.

Don't end up losing your sword intent if you fail to retain the Thunder Sword Seal.

Fifteen minutes later, Shen Ming's turn ended, and the next round was a battle between the black and white dragons.

Then you can see the squares of the chessboard changing, and the seven characters on both sides are arranged in different orders, forming a straight line.

This represents each other's territory, and each word has a different purpose.

“These words are your natal swords. Use the sword dragon to drive them and engage in a fair contest,” Ji Jiu said.

Song Jingwen looked at the order of her birth characters; the first three were Heaven, Spirit, and Wrath!

She immediately regained her confidence; the arrangement of these three natal characters was almost optimal, which was related to her performance just now.

"Different arrangements represent different combinations." Ji Jiu tried to explain clearly, but didn't know where to begin, because he had been wrong all along.

"I already understand, no explanation is needed."

Shen Ming said he already knew how to play; it was just a matter of responding to different words and countering their moves—simple!

"go with!"

Then we saw the unstoppable white dragon rushing past.

Song Jingwen snorted coldly, manipulating the black dragon to land on the character 'Ling', and respectively control the natal characters 'Tian' and 'Nu'.

In the game of Othello, this is the optimal combination, and it can be said to be unsolvable.

However... just as she was about to check on Shen Ming's situation, she saw Bai Long cross the boundary in the middle of the chessboard and charge over.

"Overestimating yourself!" Song Jingwen thought to herself, an amateur is indeed an amateur; how can you play like this?

As a result, with a loud bang, the white dragon easily broke through the first character, '天' (heaven).

Moreover, the white dragon showed no sign of stopping and continued forward.

Song Jingmin was dumbfounded. This isn't how it works! Does this even make sense?

Her black dragon began to shrink, and the thunder sword formation and sword intent she had comprehended all became nourishment for the white dragon.

Her sword intent continued to dissipate, and even... her Earth Sword realm was in grave danger.

Elder Ji Jiu! Quickly, do something!

Song Jingmin was on the verge of tears and turned to the elder beside her for help.

Elder Ji Jiu was also helpless. Once the black and white chessboard was started, it could not be stopped. The chessboard itself contained rules and did not need a referee.

In other words, Shen Ming's current move is in line with the black and white chessboard; otherwise, the white dragon would not be playing like this.

He could understand Song Jingmin's feelings. It was like a chess master tricking a novice into playing against him, deliberately not teaching the correct moves, only for the novice to flip the table and start fighting right away.

Song Jingmin's signature character 'Xi' on the chessboard was shattered by the White Dragon's attack; this was her third-to-last signature character.

Bang!

All the sword intent that Song Jingwen comprehended from the Thunder Sword Seal was lost, followed by her black and white sword intent. After reaching a certain level, her sword dao realm dropped to the Earth Sword realm!

This is far from over; the decline continues.

Sword Heart Clarity Ninth Rank…

Eighth rank...

Seventh level...

……

After his last natal character, '威', shattered, Song Jingwen fell to the third level of Sword Heart Clarity, which was below average even among sword cultivators in the Northern Region.

On the contrary, the victorious white dragon returned to Shen Ming's body. Not only did he immediately master the Thunder Sword Seal, but his sword intent also soared.

He broke through from the sixth level of Sword Heart Clarity to the Earth Sword Realm in one fell swoop.

The Mingxin Sword Pill roared out, and the sword light it reflected burst out of the Black and White Divine Palace, out of the White Emperor City, and all the way to the sky.

"A sword phenomenon! Such a sword phenomenon exists even at the Earth Sword Realm!"

The sword cultivators of Baidi City watched this scene with envy in their eyes.

Shen Ming felt all these changes and his face was full of joy.

The most amazing thing is the Thunder Sword Seal, no, it should be called the Thunder Sword Formation now. It can be mastered in an instant and is ready to be unleashed, increasing its killing power by a lot.

This was the first time he had ever felt the power of a sword cultivator since he began cultivating.

After savoring it for a while, Shen Ming looked at the opposite side and said, "The black chessboard is quite fun."

These words should have been avoided, because as soon as they were spoken, the already weakened Song Jingmin coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Falling from the realm of swordsmanship won't cause injury; it's being so angry that you vomit blood.

"That doesn't count! That can't count! You're just betting randomly! Give me back my sword intent, give it back to me!" Song Jingwen started shouting like a shrew.

"Huh? Didn't you teach me how to do it?"

Shen Ming was puzzled. He had simply followed the other party's instructions and responded according to the literal meaning of the words. What was wrong with that?

It seems that Song Kyung-min couldn't accept defeat and wanted to cheat, which is understandable.

He had absolutely no sympathy or pity for such people.

"..."

Song Jingwen coughed up another mouthful of blood, and waited and waited, but her grandfather did not appear.

"Senior, let's begin the next level."

Shen Ming has retrieved the Thunder Sword Seal today and broken through to the Earth Sword Realm, thus achieving his goal.

He became somewhat anxious, wanting to complete the challenge as soon as possible.

Because he finally sensed the great calamity of wind and fire, and was about to step into the Heavenly Supreme Realm!

Ji Jiu glanced at Shen Ming, then at Song Jingwen, sensing that things were about to spiral out of control.

"The next challenge is the unity of Yin and Yang. The power of Yin and Yang will control you. If you are not careful, you will face utter destruction."

Ji Jiu's suggestion to reveal the content of the next level was already an implication.

The fact that Song Kyung-min was able to enter the game without his knowledge suggests that there might be foul play in the next round as well.

The fact that Song Jingwen ended up in such a state, and that the Vice Hall Master didn't show up, means he's definitely brewing something big!

"Ok."

Shen Ming, however, failed to grasp the implied meaning in the words.
