As the Blood Red Sword Qi bloomed upon Shen Bai's Cold Moon, his aura visibly surged, climbing higher at a breathtaking rate.
If Elder Mu's aura was a sharp sword capable of sundering all things, then Shen Bai was like the all-encompassing sea. No matter how turbulent the attack, it would vanish without a trace upon entering his depths.
The auras of the two men overlapped and clashed, vying for dominance. Neither would yield to the other.
Sensing Shen Bai's powerful aura, Elder Mu narrowed his eyes and said faintly, "Very impressive. You've only just stepped into the Meridian Realm, yet you already possess such a potent aura. The phrase 'Overcoming Adversity and Attacking Upward' truly seems tailor-made for you."
Shen Bai raised Cold Moon, leveling it at his shoulder. The Blood Red Sword Qi on its blade pulsed rhythmically. "Elder Mu, please receive my sword strike."
Elder Mu nodded. "Come."
Without another word, Shen Bai slowly thrust Cold Moon forward.
