Chapter 220 Others watch the spectacle, I see the essence.
After watching Yu Jianhuan and Su Qingying's sparring match, Mo Chengyue stood up from the poolside.
He stared at the trajectory of their earlier exchange for a long time before suddenly speaking.
Have you noticed a problem?
The two stopped.
Mo Chengyue used his true energy to draw three points of light in the air.
One gold, one purple, and one green represent three people respectively.
"Senior Sister Yu's spiritual power follows a subtle and unpredictable path, making it versatile and suitable for prolonged and restraining combat."
"Senior Sister Su's Azure Spirit Sword Qi is as condensed as ice, capable of piercing through the face with a single strike, making it suitable for breaking through defenses head-on."
He placed the golden light in the center.
"My ancient golden elixir is based on pure yang and has been infused with extraterrestrial lightning, which is just right to harmonize the yin and yang attributes of the two of you."
He paused.
"Three people fighting one-on-one would be no match for those peak Core Formation cultivators outside. But if they team up—"
With a flick of his finger, the three points of light formed a triangular formation, and their radiance suddenly surged.
"I have an idea."
Mo Chengyue fully explained his conceived combined attack formation – the "Sun, Moon and Man Three Swords Formation".
Su Qingying, in the "Sun" position, uses the condensed sword energy of the Azure Spirit Sword as her main offensive weapon, responsible for breaking through defenses with a single strike.
The "Moon" position, represented by Yu Jianhuan, uses the unpredictable nature of rose-purple spiritual power to confuse and harass enemies; it is a flowing blade.
The "Human" position is occupied by Mo Chengyue in the center, with the pure Yang true essence of the ancient method of golden elixir as the hub.
To reconcile the yin-yang conflict of the two people's spiritual power, while also checking for deficiencies and controlling the pace.
He drew out movement routes, energy output nodes, and timing for switching in the air, leaving no detail unattended.
Yu Jianhuan tilted her head and listened, her phoenix eyes flashing.
"When did you start thinking about these things?"
Mo Chengyue remained expressionless.
"When you two were fighting."
"Others watch the spectacle, I see the essence."
Su Qingying offered no comment, but her gaze fell upon the spiritual energy harmonization point drawn by Mo Chengyue.
She recognized the logic behind the node arrangement.
It is derived from the ancient practice of dual cultivation in the Hehuan sect, which emphasizes the interaction of Yin and Yang.
However, it was modified by Mo Chengyue into the spiritual energy core structure of a three-person battle formation.
She did not speak.
But she nodded slightly.
This nod carries more weight than any praise.
The three began their first practical drill.
The result was a complete mess.
Su Qingying's Azure Spirit Sword Qi was too fierce; when she slashed out with her sword, spiritual energy overflowed.
It directly shattered the restraining spiritual net that Yu Jianhuan had just set up.
Yu Jianhuan's rose-purple spiritual power was repelled when it entangled with the pure yang true essence transmitted by Mo Chengyue.
The spiritual energy channel shattered, and the three of them were simultaneously thrown back by the recoil.
Mo Chengyue slammed into the pool wall and let out a muffled groan.
Yu Jianhuan slipped and fell to the ground, her rose-purple dress stained with water from the spirit pool.
Su Qingying steadied herself, but the Azure Spirit Sword continued to hum, and the blood pact patterns on its blade flickered.
Although her spiritual power and Mo Chengyue's true essence are connected by a blood pact, the addition of Yu Jianhuan as a variable when the three form a formation breaks the balance.
Yu Jianhuan got up, rubbing her sore elbow, and glanced at Su Qingying with her phoenix eyes, looking rather unpleasant.
"Junior Sister Su, please hold back with that sword strike. It almost cleaved my spirit net in two."
Su Qingying's expression was cold.
"It's because your spiritual energy penetration is too slow. I've been waiting for you for two breaths."
Two gazes collided in mid-air.
The smell of gunpowder quickly rose.
Mo Chengyue stood in the middle, looked to his left, and then to his right.
He took a deep breath behind the mask.
"Alright."
He raised his hand to interrupt their eye-to-eye exchange.
"The problem isn't with you. It's with me."
Mo Chengyue squatted down and used his true essence to redraw the formation on the ground.
He pointed out the core problem—the rhythm of harmonizing the "human" position was off.
Yu Jianhuan's yin-like spiritual power and Su Qingying's condensed sword energy are essentially two extreme attributes.
They need to work together within the same formation framework.
The harmony of the "human" position cannot be a simple transmission of spiritual energy, but requires precise control of the spiritual energy ratio down to the last breath.
To put it bluntly, I'm the cog in the machine.
"You two are like two engines running at different speeds."
"If the gears don't mesh precisely enough, it's all for nothing no matter how hard the engine runs."
He modified his spiritual energy output strategy—using his left hand to channel Yu Jianhuan's rose-purple spiritual energy.
His right hand moved in a yang direction, drawing upon Su Qingying's Azure Spirit Sword Qi.
When the two spiritual energies converged within his body, they underwent a Yin-Yang transformation using the ancient Golden Elixir as a pivot point.
Then they are transported back into each person's body to form a cycle.
This requires an extremely high level of mental and spiritual control.
But he uses ancient methods of elixirs.
The core advantage of the ancient method of Golden Elixir lies in its superior spiritual energy quality compared to other elixirs of the same level.
"Again."
Second drill.
It was better than the first time.
The spiritual energy channel did not explode.
However, the coordination was still awkward.
Su Qingying always drew her sword half a breath faster than Yu Jianhuan's spiritual net spread out.
This caused the sword energy to penetrate the spirit net instead of being amplified by it.
Yu Jianhuan's spiritual power was slightly delayed after being converted within Mo Chengyue's body.
The rhythm was out of sync when it returned to her hands.
The three tried repeatedly.
The third time, the fourth time, the fifth time...
Every time, something gets stuck at some point.
Su Qingying's brows furrowed more and more tightly.
Yu Jianhuan pursed her lips into a thin line.
Mo Chengyue remained calm.
After each failure, he calmly analyzed the reasons, adjusted the parameters, and modified his positioning.
"Senior Sister Su, please wait a moment before drawing your sword."
"Wait until Senior Sister Yu's spiritual net covers three feet in front of your sword tip before you move."
"Senior Sister Yu, you shouldn't try to spread your spiritual energy over a large area."
"Focusing on the fan-shaped area in the direction of Senior Sister Su's sword strike is enough."
"I'm moving the reconciliation point forward by half a breath."
He was like an engineer calibrating a precision instrument.
Patient, precise, and tireless.
Yu Jianhuan's Rose Purple Spirit Net was just about to be deployed before Su Qingying drew her sword.
The moment the Azure Spirit Sword Qi passed through the Spirit Net, it was amplified by the purple spiritual power, increasing its power by 30%.
Mo Chengyue's centrally harmonized true essence formed an invisible axis of force, ensuring that the superposition of the two spiritual energies was free from any internal friction.
Three beams of spiritual light intertwined and struck the wall opposite the secret chamber.
The array patterns flickered violently for a moment.
The walls remained completely still—the defensive level of the secret chamber formation was extremely high.
But the power of that attack stunned all three of them for a moment.
Yu Jianhuan looked down at her palm, where rose-purple spiritual energy still lingered around her fingertips.
"The power of this attack..."
Su Qingying gripped the Jade Spirit Sword, and the humming sound from the sword became clear and excited.
She could sense that the sword strike just now had exceeded the limit of her personal full-force burst.
Mo Chengyue said something.
"Practice again."
So the three of them continued.
I don't know how much time has passed.
There was no alternation of day and night in the secret chamber, only traces of the three beams of spiritual light repeatedly intertwining, colliding, and blending together.
Su Qingying began to adapt to the rhythm of Yu Jianhuan's spiritual power.
She discovered that Yu Jianhuan's rose-purple spiritual power was not without pattern.
Instead, a unique rhythm is hidden within the seemingly random and unpredictable changes, like the movement of a snake, with traceable patterns.
Yu Jianhuan was also getting used to Su Qingying's timing for drawing her sword.
Before a swordsman from Biyun Peak draws his sword, there is an extremely subtle gathering of spiritual energy, like the moment a bowstring is stretched to its limit.
Having grasped this signal, she was able to precisely deploy the spiritual net before Su Qingying drew her sword.
Mo Chengyue's role as mediator became increasingly smooth.
His ancient elixir is a never-ending furnace of spiritual energy.
It absorbs, transforms, and then spits out two completely different types of spiritual energy.
The three of them worked together from awkwardness to fluency, and from fluency to perfect understanding.
