  "How did Xiao Bo manage to combine Breaking Sky Strike with his body technique and swordsmanship at the same time?" Liu Tianwei was puzzled.

  "It's said to be impossible, although I haven't studied this secret technique myself, but I also know that the Breaking Heaven Strike is extremely difficult to integrate with other martial arts. Throughout history, those who have practiced the Breaking Heaven Strike have only combined it with a certain powerful attacking move, and there has never been anyone who can combine the Breaking Heaven Strike with footwork and swordplay at the same time." Liu Tianxiong said with emotion.

  Liu Yan wiped away the drop of fresh blood from his throat, his eyes filled with shock, and a hint of loss and unwillingness. He hesitated for a moment before speaking to Liu Bo: "One move to kill! I didn't expect your strength to have reached such a realm, it's truly shocking and humiliating. Originally, I should be retreating directly now, but I still want to spar with you once more, to see the gap between us, and also take this opportunity to see if I can make a breakthrough. Little Bo, what do you think?"

  "No problem, actually I'm not as good as Liu Yan in terms of real ability. My martial arts specialty is just that my footwork and techniques are well combined. I also want to spar with you more often, so we can improve together." Being able to spar with Liu Yan was something Liu Bo had been eager for.

  Liu Bo humbly yielded twice, and the two began to engage in a fierce battle of wits. This time, Liu Bo naturally couldn't use his one-move kill technique again, or else it would lose the meaning of the battle.

  Liu Yan, who went all out, indeed lived up to his reputation as the number one genius of the Liu family. Without using Breaking Heaven Strike or Sword Technique, he was not a match for Liu Bo. Not only did Liu Yan's true energy surpass that of several other ninth-layer cultivators, but his martial skills were also subtle and mysterious, reaching the realm of second-rate.

  Liu Bo consecutively displayed "Fine Rain Sword", "Ice Flame Sword" and "Water Shield Eighteen Styles" and other sword techniques, all of which were at a disadvantage. Feeling Liu Yan's powerful strength and exquisite martial skills, Liu Bo was very happy in his heart. Not only could he absorb many subtle aspects from Liu Yan's martial skills, but also under the pressure of his strong power, his potential was brought out to the maximum extent, and he had new understandings for each set of sword techniques.

  Until he could no longer withstand Liu Yan's pressure, Liu Bo finally launched the first move of Breaking Heaven, combining it with his footwork and swordsmanship. Liu Yan was indeed very powerful, and under Liu Bo's fierce attack, he still had both offense and defense, without falling behind.

  Seeing Liu Yan's powerful strength, Liu Bo also sincerely admired him. Now, except for the second blow of Breaking Heaven that has not been displayed, all his strength has been exhausted, but such strength is only equal to Liu Yan's. If Liu Bo had not decisively played all his trump cards from the beginning, it would have been very difficult to win today's victory.

  Two men clashed fiercely together. One was powerful and profound, with subtle and mysterious moves; the other had unpredictable footwork and a deep understanding of the situation.

  The onlookers were all dazzled and their spirits shaken. Such a high-level competition, its brilliance had never been seen before in the family's martial arts arena, even the elders had not witnessed such a spectacular Qi realm competition.

  It lasted for half a time, and both of them were more brave in battle. The martial arts they displayed also became more exquisite.

  Liu Yan only felt that this match was extremely enjoyable, and his understanding of martial arts had deepened even further. He felt extremely pleased in his heart. After withstanding Liu Bo's exquisite martial technique, he flew back to the side, laughed loudly, and said: "It's really enjoyable! I haven't had such a wonderful match in a long time. In the future, when you have time, be sure to come and spar with me often."

  "Little brother also gained a lot, in the future, Brother Yan can't be bothered with me, afraid of delaying your cultivation." Liu Bo smiled and replied.

  Liu Tianxiong, sitting in front, saw that the two grandsons were both geniuses and got along harmoniously, which made him very happy. He thought to himself that the Liu family might have a chance to revive its fortunes in this generation.

  After all the matches were over, the host began to award prizes. The top three winners of this match, Liu Bo, Liu Yan and Liu Hui, each received 1,000 pieces of low-grade spiritual stones.

  Liu Bo and Liu Yan each obtained a top-grade heavenly artifact, and tomorrow they will go to the family's secret treasury to make their selection.

  Liu Wei alone obtained a single One-Piece Spirit Fire and also gained the qualification to learn the "Starfire Cultivation Method", tomorrow he will also make his selection in the Secret Repository.

  The top five will obtain the qualification for the inheritance of the ancient book and will be passed down in the secret library ten days later.

  The next day, Liu Bo and Liu Yan were led by the clan leader Liu Tianxiong to the back mountain family's secret library.

  "In front of us is a large formation, you two must follow in my footsteps and not take a wrong step, otherwise you will fall into the formation, even I won't be able to save you, and we'll have to ask Old Ancestor to come out and rescue you personally." Liu Tianxiong warned solemnly.

  As for the legendary formation, both of them were very curious and carefully looked around, but it seemed that no matter how they looked, they couldn't find any unusual place, nor could they find any traces of array. When Liu Tianxiong started to move forward, the two of them didn't dare to look around anymore, and followed the footprints left by Liu Tianxiong on purpose, not daring to step wrong at all.

  Under Liu Tianxiong's leadership, the three of them arrived at a secret room in the back mountain. Liu Tianxiong pressed the mechanism and opened the secret door to enter a passageway. The three of them walked through the winding passageway with countless mechanisms and secret rooms before finally arriving at a spacious great hall.

  "Grandfather, is this the family's secret storage? This hall has eighteen rooms surrounding it, how many things can be stored here?" Liu Bo felt very puzzled, not expecting the family's secret storage to be so vast.

  "There are indeed some things placed in these rooms, but this is still not the true family treasure vault." Liu Tianxiong said with a smile.

  "Isn't this still the family's secret vault? Then what are we doing here?" Liu Yan also asked in surprise.

  "Follow me, and you'll see," said Liu Tianxiong, opening one of the large doors. After entering, he pressed a mechanism, leading the two into a new room.

  "The array set up in the middle of the room is a transmission array, which is a small-scale transmission array. This small-scale transmission array can only transmit a maximum of ten people at a time, and the farthest transmission distance is one million miles." Liu Tianxiong explained, pointing to the array in the middle.

  "This is the legendary transmission array! I once saw records in the classics, and it's said that the transmission array is a very high-end formation, which is difficult to set up." Liu Bo was amazed at the mysterious transmission array.

  "It's true that only high-level array masters can set up transmission arrays, and the materials needed to set them up are very expensive. In our Great Jin country, only medium-sized or larger forces have the financial resources to hire an array master to set one up. However, our Liu family's old ancestor is himself a highly skilled array master, so this small transmission array was personally set up by him. We're about to use it to enter the true family secret vault." Liu Tianxiong explained.

  "It turns out that our Liu family's ancestor is so powerful, and is actually a high-level formation master. Then our ancestor's cultivation level must be very high?" Liu Yan was very excited to hear the news about his ancestor.

  "That's natural." Liu Tianxiong replied affirmatively, but didn't reveal the specifics of Laozu's situation.

  Liu Tianxiong added the spirit stones to the transmission array, and after the three of them entered, he activated the formation. In a dazzling white light, the three of them disappeared without a trace.
