Targaryen Who Turned Dragon

"Heavenly Sword Villa's Ling Jie versus Noble Rogue Sect's Jun Long... may the match commence!"

Mighty Wind Slash.

Sky Piercer generated an enormous wave of profound wind energy from just one slash. It was so strong that even a cultivator of the (early) Earth Profound Realm would have some difficulty with it. Why so powerful? Aerion wanted to see the Heavenly Sword Villa's profound art, of course! There is no way Ling Jie could evade the Mighty Wind Slash without using a powerful profound skill... unless he wants to intentionally harm himself, which isn't likely.

Aerion's plan worked.

"Heaven's Might Sword Formation - Heavenly Star Frenzy!"

Hundreds of sword auras were created to block the Mighty Wind Slash. Not only did the auras block the Mighty Wind Slash, but they also went straight towards Aerion right after! Aerion grinned... this was exactly what he wanted. He charged up Sky Piercer with the aura of the Crimson Demon Wave and slammed it straight down to the ground.

Crimson... Demon... Slash!

BOOM.

It was a new move he was practising before the tournament. It was pretty much the Crimson Demon Wave but instead of concentrating it into one point the profound energy was focused onto the entire weapon. Now it could be a horizontal or vertical slash. In this situation, it was a horizontal slash.

Aerion's Crimson Demon Slash completely annihilated Ling Jie's Heavenly Star Frenzy and left everyone speechless. This match was pretty much over when the Crimson Demon Slash hit Ling Jie... or it was supposed to be over.

BOOM.

The Crimson Demon Slash was gone and Ling Jie was still standing without any signs of serious wounds. Aerion was honestly surprised. Then he looked at Ling Jie's weapon, no... weapons. Two Sky Profound swords!? One is his and the other one was his older brother's.

Aerion's grin faded, who the hell is allowing this sh*t?

Maybe I should go to the Grandmaster and borrow his Sky Profound weapon? Eh, whatever. I'll win against Ling Jie whether he borrows a Sky Profound or Sovereign Profound Sword! It doesn't matter to me, the end result will always be the same.

"Jun Long... you are very strong, that is why I must borrow my elder brother's sword!"

I guess that's a compliment. Sigh, I hope my Sky Piercer can hold up against two Sky Profound swords. If not...

*Slash*

*Slash*

Aerion was struggling to keep up with the two Sky Profound swords. The halberd wasn't exactly made to fight dual-wielding swordsmen. It's usually used against horseback or heavily armoured opponents, Ling Jie doesn't fit the description. In fact, Ling Jie is the complete opposite. It was time for Aerion to reveal his newest fighting style!

Aerion drew Silver Eagle with his left hand. Sky Piercer was held tightly by his right hand and it laid on his right shoulder while Silver Eagle was in a low position on his left. Aerion looked, to put it simply, God-like!

"Now, let us dance!"

Aerion wasn't holding back anymore. Ling Jie with the 'Yuan Yang Combination' was worthy of his fully powered base and he was going to get it!

*BANG*

*BANG*

Aerion was clearly winning but he started to notice that Sky Piercer and Silver Eagle were slowly cracking. But Aerion was enjoying the battle so much that he didn't care. They're his weapons, they should be able to survive a small battle... right? Unfortunately, that wasn't the case.

"Heaven's Might Absolute Sword, Final Form - Radiant Sky!"

Sword beams filled the sky to form a huge sword of about thirty meters in size. This sword came crashing down to Aerion, aiming to cut him in half. The radiant tip of the sword shined onto Aerion's eyes, as he looked up, temporarily blinding him. He closed his eyes and stretched out his left hand.

HEAVEN ABSORBING SILVER CLAW!

The entire sword was absorbed by Aerion's left, silver-scaled, hand. But... Ling Jie wasn't done yet!

"Heaven's Might Absolute Sword - Moon Break!"

*Crack*

*Crack*

*Shatter*

Aerion blocked both swords but at a huge cost, both of his own weapons were cut in half. Aerion let go of his broken weapons and he watched as their remains fell to the floor. He didn't care too much for Silver Eagle but Sky Piercer... Sky Piercer was a part of him! It was his primary weapon throughout most of his cultivation journey.

A Thousand Cuts.

Aerion forced Ling Jie to back away.

Then he looked down and a small tear fell onto Sky Piercer's axe-spear point. After that, he grinned when he took out a very special seal.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this tournament is so unfair. Everyone has Sky Profound weapons but Your's Truly... it's about time I change that."

"...?" Ling Jie was confused.

"OBSERVE!"

Our journey has only begun, my loyal weapon, Sky Piercer!

Aerion attached the seal onto Sky Piercer's broken tip. The two halves of Sky Piercer flew into mid-air and joined together. The seal wasn't done, not yet anyway. Sky Piercer started to transform into something far stronger and dominant. Aerion himself was amazed by the effects of the seal. This "seal" was, of course, the Weapon Upgrade (Sky Profound) he got from completing the Fifth Floor of the dungeon!

One day, You and I shall Pierce The Heavens!

BOOM!

The arena was completely covered with a blinding light as the newly transformed Sky Piercer fell into Aerion's hands. It was like the halberd was a gift from the Heavens. Once Ling Jie gazed upon Aerion's new weapon, he knew that the match was over.

With the new Sky Profound Sky Piercer, Aerion looked even mightier than before. This might wasn't just for show, he was far stronger with the Sky Profound version.

Aerion slammed Sky Piercer straight towards Ling Jie. Ling Jie blocked the attack with both of his swords. Aerion was relentless, he kept pushing Ling Jie further and further into the ground. The new Sky Piercer was far superior to the two Sky Profound swords. Under the heavy pressure of Sky Piercer's axe, the Sky Profound swords started to crack. Ling Jie stepped to the side.

"Smart choice, but..."

Draconic Heart.

*SLASH*

Both Sky Profound swords were cut in half by Sky Piercer.

...

"WHAT!? HOW DARE HE..." Ling Yuefeng roared

"How am I going to explain this to father and my elder brother...?"

~

Tai Wentian slapped Aerion on the back of the head. "What were you thinking? You should've just knocked him out or whatever else you do in battle. But you just had to break two sacred Sky Profound swords? Now we both have to speak with Ling Yuefeng and attempt to resolve this matter..."

Tai Wentian was acting like this for the public. In truth, he was quite pleased with the matter. Aerion had gotten to know his Grandmaster/Father-in-law pretty well over the two months or so they had spent training. He knew that the Grandmaster disliked the Heavenly Sword Villa, mostly due to their arrogance.

Tai Wentian sighed as he opened the door. They both entered the room. Ling Yuefeng looked really angry and rightfully so.

"Take a seat, Tai Wentian and Jun Long."

They did as asked. There was no one else in the room but Ling Yuefeng, Tai Wentian and Aerion. Aerion was slightly nervous as the Villa Master was silent for a few seconds.

"So, what will you do to repay me? Those Sky Profound swords were important to the Sword Villa..."

Aerion shrugged and calmly replied. "I can forge you a new one."

"And how will you do that?"

"Just give me all of the broken parts and I'll make a new Sky Profound sword out of it."

"..." The Sword Villa master was dumbfounded by the simple statement. Make a new sword, just like that?

Tai Wentian himself didn't know that Aerion could do that. The Sword Villa master was curious and since there was no use for the broken parts, he sent someone to bring the parts of the Sky Profound swords to the room. Then the parts were laid out on the table.

"Give me a moment."

Aerion put the pieces into his dungeon ring and closed his eyes.

~

"You're planning to dump all of the pieces in the forge?" The Dragon asked

"Of course, what else can I do?"

"Go on then."

Aerion took out the broken parts and dropped them all into the fire. The parts melted and after that, a sword was taking shape from the materials.

"Perhaps you should add some spice to the sword?" The Dragon advised

"What do you mean by spice? Oh... I have an idea!"

"There you go."

After this, the entire Heavenly Sword Villa should just bend the knee and make me the Sword Villa master!

Wind God's Art.

Aerion added some wind to the mix. The sword was finally reforged a few seconds after. Aerion put the sword back to the dungeon ring and opened his eyes.

"Done."

He threw the finished product to Ling Yuefeng and left the room as if nothing happened. He did what he had to do, why should he stay there any longer?

Ling Yuefeng gazed upon the blade in front of him, his eyes widened.

"What is it?" Tai Wentian asked

"This sword... is... Heavenly!"
