Cheat Cultivator's Ascension

"Harmonic Convergence" the scholarly beauty mutters without even feeling a bit weird for saying the name of her brand new self-created technique, the sword in her hands shaking as if it couldn't wait to unleash its might any longer, causing her to allow the sword to take its path as she slashes it horizontally aiming at the opponent waiting for her attack.

As Dao Xuanyuan swings her sword, the darkness engulfing the objects underneath her channels through her body before ending up on her sword as well, the swirling mess of light and dark refusing to meld on each other even after her swing produces a sword wave from both of them, the attack showing a clear distinction between the light and darkness part.

Oddly enough though, even despite all these distinct points between them, the structure of the sword wave is something without any weak spot, as if the light and darkness melds perfectly in essence despite the opposite happening on its surface level appearance.

This makes this attack all the more interest piquing towards the immortal-like young man receiving it as he truly finds no flaws in this strike, yet even after all that, the confidence on his face never wavers as there is something that he can use to suppress even this practically perfect attack.

'If I can't overwhelm it through sheer technique alone, then I will force this technique open!!!' he thought to himself as he remembers the rules of this match, that being the fact that none among the two of them can use spirit qi during this spar, but given that his opponent already breaks that deal, the young man thought that he can also use his entire arsenal on his discretion, still opting to not use so much just to avoid demotivating the scholarly beauty, as well as the young beauties watching the two of them spar.

Taking a deep breath as the surrounding got slower and slower around him, the immortal-like young man smiles as he compresses the space around him until he no longer can, before bending this compressed space once again as he imbues its properties upon his blade, nothing too flashy of a thing happening as there's not even spatial distortion wrapping around his weapon with this attack of his.

Hearing such pleasant surprise just from attempting something using spatial rules, the immortal-like young man couldn't help but smile even more as the attack of his senior sister gets dangerously close to him, making not only his dear mother and sister, along with his lovers watching him from outside the battle area, but also even her opponent, to worry for his safety as he is completely unmoving despite the attack about to land on him.

This attack that the ladies are worried about doesn't concern the immortal-like young man in the slightest though as he simply swings the blade on his hands, this simple motion of his freezing the yin-yang based sword wave in place, making everyone, even the Ascension Realm expert that is the headmistress of the Dao Seeking Mountain, and even his younger sister who retains her memories of the previous timeline, surprised because of this display, a single word appearing on their mind all at the same time, a word that implies a terrifying feat that the immortal-like young man achieved.

'T-time…' they stutter even in their mind as they think of this word in disbelief, the fact alone that the sword wave created by yin and yang concept and qi still frozen in the air, not dissipating or even moving the slightest being something that proves to them this conjecture of theirs.

Meanwhile, the immortal-like young man who performs this feat is something that not even he expects to a certain extent, causing him to look at the blade in his hands in an extreme satisfaction, thinking that he now has another powerful card on his arsenal, something that he can use a trump card in an extremely precarious situation in a highly unlikely possibility that he can't escape using the Unbounded Spatial Talisman.

Deciding to end this match, he swings his blade once again, dissipating the sword wave in an instant causing him to think that he overdid it even after holding all that strength back, causing him to look worriedly at this new found senior sister of his out of worry of his actions damaging her confidence.

His worries are unfounded though as he saw the smile on the scholarly beauty's face, a smile that is different from a helpless one as it shows nothing but anticipation instead, as if she just found out a whole new world for her to explore and she can no longer wait to walk on it herself.

"Thank you for the match, junior brother Xiaotian, that is really impressive~" after a few moments of her taking step by step to stand in front of him, Dao Xuanyuan said happily with a smile on her beautiful face, her eyes revealing the determination of someone who just got even more inspired after the defeat she experienced, an impressive trait that not all cultivation genius possesses, but a trait possessed by all the previous, current, and even future powerhouses not only of this continent but also this world.

"You're really impressive as well, senior sister, you just fork out new techniques every time I fight against you" Su Xiaotian replies with a similar smile on his face as he sheathes his blade on the scabbard hanging on his waist, seeing this the scholarly beauty follows suit as she sheathes her sword as well, the sword that is her companion seeing the light of day so much more now that she imitates how he doesn't place his weapon on his spatial ring.

"Heh… who are you even kidding, that time-stopping technique is also something new right?" walking towards the audience waiting from them, Dao Xuanyuan couldn't help but point out, the words coming out of her mouth causing the young man to clarify everything regarding that technique to her, his words also being heard by the ladies watching the two of them fight as they are already in close proximity of them.

"Ah, that wasn't really a temporal rule related technique, that is a spatial rule related one" Su Xiaotian pointed out causing all the ladies to look at him in even more surprise, wondering just how he achieved such thing using spatial manipulation alone.

"W-wait, H-how!?" the scholarly beauty asked with astonishment plastered on her face, her eyes dilating from his words as she realizes once again just how absurd this young man's talents are, doing something so unconventional and uncommon that it often bends the common sense of everyone around him.

Meanwhile, the other beauties are eagerly waiting for his explanation of this technique as well, clearly also interested on how he achieves it, this interest even more apparent when it comes to Tang Jianxue, who already has contact with spatial rules given the current height of her cultivation.
