Yuan silently nodded in acknowledgement and took a moment to prepare himself. Then, without hesitation, he unleashed as much Enhanced Sword Aura as he could muster.
The Sixth Elder's eyes widened with awe when she sensed Yuan's Enhanced Sword Aura.
'No wonder she gave him her sword badge!' The Sixth Elder finally understood what caused the Holy Sword Maiden to approve of him.
In response to Yuan's Sword Aura, the Blade of Tribulation began to tremble—then, within moments, it unleashed its own Enhanced Sword Aura.
And then, as if heralding an execution, the blade descended from the sky, hurling itself toward Yuan with terrifying speed.
