Jian Wushuang opened his eyes wide and looked at everything around him. Dozens of meters away, there was a lush forest. Only the area around him was like a dead land.
At this moment, Jian Wushuang finally understood why the Soul-Devouring Secret Skill was called Soul-Devouring.
What was Soul-Devouring?
Soul-Devouring! Soul-Devouring! Soul-Devouring!
He also finally knew what the strange power that kept pouring into his body was. It was the natural power of everything around him. The Soul-Devouring Secret Skill was an overbearing Secret Skill that seized the power of all living things around him for his own use.
"This Secret Skill is too terrible. I will not use it unless it is necessary." Jian Wushuang secretly warned himself.
After trying it once, Jian Wushuang did not dare to try it again. He continued to study the steps of the Secret Skill. Three days later, beside a stream in the center of Nine-wolves Mountain, Jian Wushuang drank a mouthful of water and then stood up.
"It's the end of the month. There are only two days left before the battle. It's time to go back." Jian Wushuang looked up at the boundless sky and smiled. Then, he leaped lightly and headed in the direction of Sword Marquis Mansion.
…
Early in the morning, the sky was just beginning to brighten.
In Sword Marquis Mansion, when the first ray of red light from the distant sky shone on the land, the entire Sword Marquis Mansion was in an uproar. A large number of disciples and clansmen of Sword Marquis Mansion poured out from all directions and gathered at the Drill Ground in the center of the mansion.
Not only Sword Marquis Mansion, but all the forces and families in Bashui Commandery also sent experts to Sword Marquis Mansion.
Today was the day of the annual Sword Marquis Token Battle in Sword Marquis Mansion. The so-called Sword Marquis Token was actually just a title, the title of the number one expert among the younger generation. However, because every expert rose step by step from a young age, Sword Marquis Mansion attached great importance to the cultivation of the younger generation.
Every time the Sword Marquis Token Battle, Sword Marquis Mansion would invite various forces or families to participate in it. As the number one force in Bashui Commandery, Sword Marquis Mansion dared not refuse the invitation of Sword Marquis Mansion. This year's Sword Marquis Token Battle was of great significance.
Now, everyone in Bashui Commandery knew that a rare super genius had appeared in Sword Marquis Mansion. He was only 16 years old, but he had already reached the Profound Spiritual Sea Realm. His swordsmanship was also unfathomable. At such a young age, he was about to take charge of the Sword Pavilion, which had a high status in Sword Marquis Mansion. All these achievements made the experts in Bashui Commandery curious and expectant of this peerless genius.
This peerless genius was none other than Sword Marquis Mansion's Genius, Jian Meng 'er!
Today was the day for Jian Meng 'er to show her talent to the experts of various forces. It would also be the battle that would make her famous. After today, she would officially take charge of the Sword Pavilion and become a giant in Sword Marquis Mansion.
The vast Drill Ground was already crowded with people. There were two high platforms at the top of the Drill Ground. One was for the disciples to show their strength in the battle, while the other was for the spectators. Jian Xinhong, the current Mansion Master of Sword Marquis Mansion, sat on a chair and chatted casually with several other big shots sitting beside him.
These big shots naturally had powerful backgrounds to be able to sit side by side with the Mansion Master of Sword Marquis Mansion.
"Look, that should be Situ Qingyue, the Family Master of the Situ Family."
"That is Ye Xiu, the Family Master of the Ye Family. The Ye Family is also a family that focuses on swordsmanship. However, compared with Sword Marquis Mansion, they are still inferior."
"The mysterious supervisor of the Gladiator Arena, Master Bai Chong, is also here?"
A large number of disciples of Sword Marquis Mansion discussed cautiously around the Drill Ground. From time to time, they would look at the spectators stand and see the big shots who were rarely seen.
Although the Situ Family and the Ye Family were inferior to Sword Marquis Mansion in status and power in Bashui Commandery, the difference was not too great. As for the Gladiator Arena, it was a colossus. However, due to its superior status, it did not participate in the battle. As for the supervisor of the Gladiator Arena, Bai Chong, even the Mansion Master of Sword Marquis Mansion, Jian Xinhong, had to treat him with caution.
"Master Bai Chong, I didn't expect that you would personally attend this year's Sword Marquis Token Battle. In previous years, your Gladiator Arena had sent a Golden-robed Servant to participate in the battle," Situ Qingyue said with a smile, with a hint of flattery in her expression.
"Sword Marquis Mansion is honored that Master Bai Chong can attend this battle in person," Jian Xinhong said.
"This year's battle is different from the previous ones. It's normal for me to attend. I also want to see what kind of genius your Sword Marquis Mansion has," Bai Chong said with a smile.
"Don't worry. She won't let you down," Jian Xinhong said with a smile. Obviously, he was full of confidence in her.
"Is that so?" Bai Chong raised his eyebrows and smiled mysteriously. However, he did not say anything more. Instead, he looked around the Drill Ground and saw Jian Wushuang leaning against a wall with her eyes closed in a corner of the Drill Ground. Bai Chong could not help but smile.
"That little guy is very calm. I wonder if his strength has improved after the trip to Nine-wolves Mountain?"
Due to his good friend, Jian Wushuang, Bai Chong paid quite a lot of attention to her. He even made the decision to give the opportunity to Jian Wushuang to obtain the Primordial Spiritual Liquid. From this, one could see how much he cared about Jian Wushuang.
This time, he had come to participate in the battle, to a large extent, because of Jian Wushuang.
"It's almost time. Let's begin," Jian Xinhong said from the high platform.
Jian Lan, who was standing beside Jian Xinhong, nodded slightly. Then he took a few steps forward and stood in the center of the platform. He cleared his throat and said in a loud voice, "All the disciples who are qualified for the competition, come forward."
As the Great Elder of Red Martial Hall, Jian Lan was in charge of this Sword Marquis Token Battle.
As soon as Jian Lan's words spread, the whole Drill Ground was in an uproar. Immediately, the young disciples who had passed the fifth level of the Trial Tower and obtained the opportunity to participate in the competition walked to the center of the Drill Ground in a hustle and bustle. At first glance, there were dozens of young disciples. These young disciples were all geniuses in Sword Marquis Mansion, including Jian Wushuang.
At this moment, a beautiful figure in white slowly walked over.
For a moment, the gazes of everyone on the Drill Ground were drawn over. Not only the disciples on the Drill Ground, but even the important figures on the high platform all cast their gazes towards the white-robed figure.
