Theoretically, Qi Refining Realm Cultivators could cast it, but in practice, even Foundation Establishment Realm Disciples might not be able to execute it. Especially the higher the Realm, the stronger the move, and the more sword light produced, the greater the Spiritual Power consumption. Insufficiently profound Cultivation made it difficult to execute.

At this moment, Wang Mu, who had already fought two battles... was merely a Cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer... How could he have so much Spiritual Power without taking Elixirs to recover?

Jing Hai was slightly astonished, only to be immediately engulfed by the vast expanse of sword light. The sword light bombarded like missiles, precisely targeting his position, nearly overturning the entire Rebirth Platform. The ground shook continuously. That sky-filling sword light was not only extremely intimidating but also possessed an extreme beauty!

"..."

Wang Mu had never deployed the Perfect Realm Ten Thousand Sword Technique before; this was his first time. This move, unlike in many games, wasn't just a simple group attack. It was even stronger against a single target because it was controllable, with the landing points of the sword light capable of being confined within a specific area, making its power even greater. It far surpassed what the Sword Control Technique could achieve. Indeed, this was a sword technique superior to the Sword Control Technique!

Its most obvious downside, however, was the immense consumption. With Wang Mu's current Twelve Layers Energy Introduction Skill, he could barely execute it two or three times. For a normal Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer Disciple, executing this level of the Ten Thousand Sword Technique even once would be a great strain. Without simultaneously using recovery Elixirs, it was quite possible they would completely exhaust their Spiritual Power. One could also reduce the Spiritual Power consumption, but the resulting Ten Thousand Sword Technique would be far less powerful.

「A few moments later.」

The smoke cleared. Jing Hai stood there, his clothes ragged, and numerous fractures had appeared on his Glazed Glass Vajra Body. He was gasping for breath, his expression oddly exhilarated.

"I lost," Jing Hai said loudly. "Thank you, fellow Daoist. I haven't felt so invigorated in a long time. Ever since I cultivated this Glazed Glass Vajra Body, I could no longer feel pain. To me, that was a kind of torment. Feeling pain again today is like being reborn!"

... Wang Mu thought. This monk must have some serious issues.

Jing Hai stepped down, and the crowd fell silent. It was another loss for his opponent. Wang Mu had achieved three consecutive victories, all against Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators ranked in the top ten. Yet he was still just a Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer Cultivator.

At this time, however, Wang Mu's complexion was slightly pale, his Spiritual Power having been suddenly drained. The consumption had clearly been immense. Everyone could see that Wang Mu was now greatly exhausted, nearing his limit.

Is he still going to continue?

Wang Mu looked up at Xuanmingzi above and asked, "Senior, what is my current ranking?"

"Based on battle achievements, you can only be ranked tenth," Xuanmingzi paused, then continued, "but the Potential List considers potential, and your potential could rank you in the top three."

Moving from seventeenth to the top three... indeed, just three battles wouldn't normally be enough. But the Potential List doesn't just consider the number of victories; it values quality. The impact of these three victories far surpassed that of winning ten ordinary matches.

"Can I reach first place?" Wang Mu asked.

"If you win one more battle," Xuanmingzi mused, "you should be able to claim first. However, you currently have less than twenty percent of your Spiritual Power left; you won't be able to fight..."

Indeed, there wasn't much left. The first two battles had also consumed a fair amount, and after executing the Ten Thousand Sword Technique in the third, Wang Mu only had about ten to twenty percent of his Spiritual Power remaining.

The other Cultivators were stunned upon hearing this.

"Only ten to twenty percent left?" Many were dumbfounded. "He still has any Spiritual Power left after deploying the Ten Thousand Sword Technique?"

Is this really a Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer Cultivator? This thought couldn't help but surface in the minds of the various Cultivators.

Could it be... Only Zhou Kaizhi and a group of Sword Sect Disciples realized something. Has his Upper Heaven Energy Introduction Technique broken through the limits of the Nine Layers Realm?

The Sword Sect Disciples exchanged glances. Even with twenty percent Spiritual Power remaining, what can he do with it? Junior Brother Wang should step down. Second place is already incredibly strong. Back then, our Eldest Senior Brother only managed second place.

However, Wang Mu, on the platform, thought for a moment and then announced, "Everyone, there's one battle left. Who will come up?"

Everyone: "..."

"What is this guy trying to do?" Qin Yuyan stood up on the other side, speechless. "He still intends to fight in this condition?"

Watching up to this point, her mindset had changed, her plans completely disrupted. Originally, she had been waiting for her own turn, but she hadn't expected...

Sigh...

Below the platform, the few remaining potential opponents looked at each other.

"Going up at this time, isn't that a bit too... opportunistic?" one of them whispered.

"Then it will be me!" the Evil Ghost from the Ten Thousand Ghost Sect sneered. "You Righteous Sect Disciples care about your reputation, but I don't! Let me deliver this final blow and finish him!"

A few people frowned slightly.

Just then, a figure preemptively ascended the platform.

That ugly woman, the Evil Ghost muttered under his breath.

The one who had stepped onto the platform was Dantai Shaoyu from the Qianyuan Sword Sect.

"Fellow Daoist, I will take this match," Dantai Shaoyu said with a slight smile. "We are both Sword Cultivators. Your Spiritual Power is low. If you can withstand one sword strike from me, let it be my loss. How about it?"

As expected of a Righteous Sect Disciple, truly principled, Wang Mu thought. He had assumed that the Evil Cultivator from the Ten Thousand Ghost Sect would be the one to come forward at this point. He hadn't expected this person to beat him to it.

"Alright," Wang Mu replied. "Since we are both Sword Cultivators, then please don't hold back. I will withstand your one sword strike."

Dantai Shaoyu possessed an elegant and heroic demeanor, exuding the sharp aura characteristic of a top-quality Sword Cultivation seedling.

Dantai Shaoyu was taken aback for a moment, then, after some thought, nodded. "Very well, I won't hold back."

She had initially come up to prevent the member of the Ten Thousand Ghost Sect from seizing an opportunity, thinking a moderate display of effort would suffice. But since he requested her not to hold back, then...

Wang Mu sat down, composed himself, and began to meditate. "I'm ready."
