Perhaps they were both affected by the air around them, but their eyes opened at the same time. As their gazes met, they leapt up concurrently.
At this point, Xuan Ziwen didn't need to announce the start of the round.
They didn't burst towards each other immediately. They stared at each other from a hundred fifty meters away, and stood in their positions quietly.
An invisible pressure started to bear down in the Soul Tool Experimentation Area. Ji Juechen wielded his sword with both hands, and his six soul rings surfaced. A streak of sharp aura shot out from his body. His entire person seemed to fuse with his sword at this instant.
Fusing his soul into his sword. This was Ji Juechen's cultivation method. His martial soul was converted completely into force, and wasn't a physical ent.i.ty. It had fused completely with his Extraterrestrial Meteoric Sword. He was the sword, and the sword was him. They were inseparable.
