X-Dragon Era-Chapter 558 - s Speedy Slash Defeats Ke Zhan

Breakthroughs are a strange thing. For someone with experience like Xin Yun, it's entirely possible to feel out specific patterns based on different situations, and even now, with a change in energy systems, it wouldn't be a problem. However, someone with experience like Xin Yun, you'd only find that one person in the entire world. This is the wonderful part of rebirth that others can't replicate.

Of course, besides experience, the more important factors are wisdom and luck. Experience can prevent one from taking detours, and wisdom serves a similar purpose. But in the end, the most crucial element is still luck.

If there are a hundred paths to choose from for a breakthrough, experience can help you eliminate half of these detours, and wisdom can help eliminate another half. But even so, there would still be nearly thirty paths left to try, and that's when luck comes into play.

If you're lucky enough, even with a hundred paths, you might coincidentally choose the correct one on your first try. But with bad luck, even if only thirty paths remain, you might not choose the correct one until the very last try. Such occurrences aren't unusual, so... to achieve a breakthrough, the most important thing is actually still luck.

Take Yi Luo Xiang and the other three, for example: they may breakthrough in the next moment, or they might not even after ten years. When will they breakthrough? It depends on experience, comprehension, luck, and some other ineffable qualities, like inspiration.

After making all the arrangements, Xin Yun left the seclusion chamber and arrived at the sect's main hall. Due to a slight delay, by the time Xin Yun got there, Yi Luo Xiang, Yan Qingying, Ming Xuan, and Luo Fu had already been waiting for a while.

"Hmm?" As Xin Yun was about to speak upon seeing everyone, he suddenly paused, looking incredulously towards Yi Luo Xiang. Although she seemed unchanged on the surface, his intuition told him that Yi Luo Xiang had undergone some subtle changes.

Seeing Xin Yun staring at her in astonishment, Yi Luo Xiang smiled and said helplessly, "It seems I've lost the bet, but I don't understand—how could you tell?"

Hearing Yi Luo Xiang's words, Xin Yun exclaimed in disbelief, "What! Does that mean... you've actually already made a breakthrough?"

As Xin Yun shouted in surprise, Yan Qingying calmly stated, "That's right, Yi Luo Xiang has already broken through to the Crystal Stage, and her current strength is at One Star in the Crystal Stage!"

Shaking his head in admiration, Xin Yun looked at Yi Luo Xiang in disbelief and said, "How could it be so fast! This is too exaggerated!"

In response to Xin Yun's words, Yi Luo Xiang pouted her rosy lips and said, "What's so exaggerated about that? If we're talking about being exaggerated, aren't you even more so? You scarcely stayed at Ten Stars at all before breaking through."

As she spoke, Yi Luo Xiang paused and continued, puzzled, "By the way, how did you figure out I'd broken through? You're of the Water Series, not the Spiritual System; you shouldn't have this ability, right?"

Upon hearing Yi Luo Xiang's questions, Luo Fu, who was beside her, chimed in, "There's nothing strange about that. The reason Yan Qingying could tell is because she has spiritual detection. Since she couldn't detect your strength, it naturally means you have surpassed her. And that naturally allows her to deduce your strength. As for Xin Yun..."

Halting mid-sentence, Luo Fu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with glowing eyes, "If I'm not mistaken, he's relying on intuition, the unique intuition of a Martial Artist!"

At Luo Fu's words, Yi Luo Xiang and Yan Qingying showed envious expressions. This so-called intuition was an incredibly frightful talent, one that could not be developed later in life—either you have it, or you never will.

This intuition was very mysterious; those with heightened intuition could even guess lottery numbers for the next drawing, purely based on intuition with no logical reasoning or theoretical basis. It's a quality that transcends theory and is indescribable through words.

For a Martial Artist, intuition is akin to defying the heavens. No method can block intuition, and even in complete darkness, one can evade dangerous attacks purely through intuition.

Speaking of intuition, Luo Fu was one of the best, but his intuition was more like a beast's instincts in battle, limited to combat. Xin Yun's was clearly different; he could sense things like observations through intuition, which was a bit exaggerated, no wonder Luo Fu was amazed.

The function of intuition is incredible, transcending the five senses and still being able to sense the approach of danger. Those with strong intuition can avoid risks, and even when faced with the unknown, they can detect potential dangers and discern many changes.

Put simply, it's very difficult to assassinate someone with strong intuition. Before you make a move, they can feel that something is wrong through their intuition, even perceiving your position and the impending events. For someone with such intuition, there's little difference between assassination attempts and face-to-face combat.

But back to the main story—facing Yi Luo Xiang's joyful face, Xin Yun said ecstatically, "How is it? Did you really break through? Did you comprehend a new combat technique?"

Addressing Xin Yun's eager questioning, Yi Luo Xiang nodded and confirmed, "Yes, I've really broken through. The new Soul System combat technique I've acquired uses the Power of the Soul to solidify into a Soul Blade. Once launched, it can carry out Soul Severing on the enemy, directly attacking their soul!"
