There was not much difference in strength between the ten individual rooms and the ten captains, but there was definitely a gap.
In order to give these people more motivation to improve, there was a difference in treatment between the ten individual rooms.
Of course, the difference was not as big as the difference between the three levels.
It was a gradual process to go from the tenth to the first.
Zhang Yuan was a martial artist at the peak of the sixth level of the Martial Vein, which was the same cultivation as the ten captains. He came from a town similar to Tianfeng City and was considered the number one genius there.
It was inevitable for him to be arrogant.
Even so, he did not dare to challenge the captains at the top. Instead, he chose the tenth captain, the weakest one.
Of course, according to him, this was called a sword test. If he succeeded, he would challenge the martial artists at the top.
"You want to challenge me?"
The door of the individual room opened and a man and a woman walked out.
The man was the tenth captain, Yin Ran, and the woman was his maid.
The maid was usually carefully selected by the General's Mansion. She was not weak and very loyal.
Yin Ran was a tall and thin man. He looked as if he would fly away with a gust of wind.
His face was pale and he did not smile. He even kept coughing as if he was terminally ill.
Seeing this, Zhang Yuan was relieved. He smiled and said, "I'm Zhang Yuan, a new disciple of the Latent Dragon Camp. I'm here to learn from you."
Zhang Yuan did not have Ling Xiao's insight, so in his eyes, Yin Ran was just a sickly man.
However, Ling Xiao could see that Yin Ran's strength was terrifying. He was definitely not weaker than Lin Chen. He should also have a broken Martial Soul.
His sickly condition was most likely related to his damaged martial soul, and not a serious illness on his body.
Ling Xiao could see that Yin Ran's vitality was very strong. He did not look like he was dying at all.
"Learn from me? Don't be so polite. Make your move. If you win, this room and the maid are yours! "
Yin Ran put on a pair of gloves while coughing.
Obviously, the gloves were not ordinary gloves. They should be made of precious materials such as silk. Together with his earth energy, they were as tough as swords.
"That's good!"
Ling Xiao challenged Yin Ran for a house and a maid, as well as better treatment and a better instructor.
Since Yin Ran was so sensible, there was no need to talk nonsense.
His figure suddenly swayed, and the long sword in his hand trembled. A stunning sword technique was displayed.
Nine Sword of Flowing Cloud!
The sword art was a top-notch entry-level martial art, and so was the body art.
Moreover, both of them had already been cultivated to perfection.
No wonder this person dared to challenge a captain-level warrior. His strength was definitely not to be underestimated.
If such strength was placed in Tianfeng City, then besides Ling Xiao and Ling Yixue, no one would be able to suppress him.
Yin Ran only glanced at it indifferently. Her expression didn't change at all. Then, she gently slapped out with her palm.
Transforming Bone Soft Palm!
His palm technique was very strange. It seemed light and without any power, but wherever the palm wind passed, there was actually an aura of death.
A fallen leaf accidentally landed on the palm wind and instantly rotted and withered.
It was also a top-notch entry-level martial art, and they were both at perfection. However, Yin Ran's understanding of martial arts was clearly better than Zhang Yuan's.
This palm strike was aimed at the weakest part of Zhang Yuan's sword art.
"Clang!"
"Bang!"
When the top-notch martial arts of the same realm met, Zhang Yuan's expression changed. He quickly retreated, but even so, his right hand that was holding the sword was still trembling. He was about to throw the sword to the ground.
Not only that, but a part of his sleeve was also clearly corroded.
Astonishment!
Horror!
It was hard to describe Zhang Yuan's current mood. Although they were both at the same realm, there was actually such a huge difference in attack power. This could only mean that there was a huge gap between their martial arts techniques.
Ling Xiao's eyes lit up.
Yin Ran didn't have his Mountain River Martial Soul, but he was still able to catch his opponent's flaw. This kind of person was very scary.
Transforming Bone Wind!
Yin Ran didn't give Zhang Yuan any time to be surprised. After his first strike succeeded, he immediately followed up with a second strike.
It was still the Transforming Bone Soft Palm, but there were some changes to the technique. The palm wind became more sinister, and even through his palms, one could faintly see a black aura emerging.
This kind of aura made the martial artists who were watching the battle shudder.
Some people even had auditory hallucinations, as if there were cries of ghosts and howls of wolves in their ears.
90% Sword Intent!
"Break!"
It was too late for Zhang Yuan to dodge. He didn't advance, but instead retreated. He increased his Sword Intent to 90%, and the Transforming Bone Soft Palm's attack on his mind instantly dissipated.
He stabbed his sword, trying to turn the tables.
Sinister Wind Step!
However, Yin Ran seemed to have predicted this move. His figure suddenly disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already behind Zhang Yuan.
Transforming Blood Explosion!
An even more terrifying martial arts technique was displayed. Yin Ran's right hand was wrapped in a ball of blood-red light, and one could actually see a faintly discernible skull.
A terrifying aura spread out, and many of the spectating disciples were shocked and retreated.
With this, Ling Xiao and Ling Yixue, who were originally standing at the back of the crowd, became the ones standing at the front.
"Wow, this Transforming Blood Explosion should be a killing move that he comprehended from the Transforming Bone Soft Palm."
"Sigh, there's nothing we can do. The ten captains are all monsters. Their innate comprehension is too terrifying!"
"I'm afraid none of us can block this palm."
"Don't forget that Yin Ran hasn't used his Yin Spirit remnant soul yet."
Everyone's expression changed when Yin Ran's remnant soul was mentioned.
In fact, from Yin Ran's attack style, it could be seen that he was an expert in evil martial arts techniques.
There was no distinction between good and evil martial arts techniques. If this martial arts technique was used for good, it would naturally be a good martial arts technique.
However, if it was used for evil, it would become an evil martial arts technique.
This was also the reason why Yin Ran was not kicked out of the Latent Dragon Camp.
"Zhang Yuan won't be able to block this palm!"
Ling Xiao sighed.
Now, he somewhat understood why Zhang Yuan dared to challenge a captain-level martial artist despite there being so many shared sleeping disciples.
It was because the longer one stayed in the Latent Dragon Camp, the more one would understand how terrifying the ten captains were.
Zhang Yuan was new and had only been here for three days, so he didn't know about this. Therefore, he had the boldness of a newborn calf that was not afraid of tigers.
However, boldness was boldness, and strength was strength.
It was normal for a newborn calf to be eaten by a tiger.
100% Sword Intent!
Drifting Cloud Burial!
At this critical moment, Zhang Yuan unleashed all of his potential.
100% Sword Intent was close to 10% of his remnant soul.
Drifting Cloud Burial was the most powerful technique in the Nine Drifting Cloud Swords.
This sword seemed like it was going to pierce through the sky.
The terrifying Sword Intent condensed on the longsword, forcing the surrounding disciples to take a few steps back.
Ling Xiao and Ling Yixue were standing in front of each other. It was very abrupt.
Boom!
The tip of the sword was blocked by a palm.
The two of them clashed again.
At that moment, Ling Xiao realized that something sinister suddenly appeared behind Yin Ran before disappearing in an instant.
The moment that thing appeared, Yin Ran's attack suddenly became much more powerful.
That thing looked like a skeleton wearing a cloak.
Its eyes were glowing red, and it was holding a book in its hand. It looked very evil.
It should be Yin Ran's remnant soul, Yin Spirit remnant soul.
