Hearing his own name, Gao Feng jumped onto the battling platform with a serious face.
Ye Chen did not hesitate. He tapped his foot on the ground and appeared on the battling platform almost at the same time as Gao Feng. The two stood fifty meters apart.
"You are very powerful. But, if you want to win one point from me, it will not be that easy." With his right hand holding onto his sword handle, Gao Feng said word by word.
Ye Chen smiled lightly, "It will be easy."
Gao Feng frowned. According to his estimation, he should have thirty percent chance of beating Ye Chen, and it was not like he did not have any chance at all. But somehow, seeing that calm expression on Ye Chen's face, he did not have any confidence at all. For the first time, he felt like he did not know where to start.
Shocked, Gao Feng thought to himself, 'Perhaps he still has more power?'
On the judge's seat, the group three judge and the group twelve judge sat together.
The group twelve judge said, "Gao Feng is a good seed. I can tell that he has been hiding part of his power. His sword intent should be close to completion."
The group three judge nodded, "What I am curious about is that up until now, Ye Chen has not shown any trace of sword intent."
"I guess he has not learned it yet. Although the sword intent is a benchmark for sword artists, not every powerful sword artist has it. So, who can tell for sure? "
"You are right. But it is a pity. If he had the sword intent, it would not be impossible for him to get into the top ten." The group three judge had been watching Ye Chen win every single battle, so he was more or less looking forward to it. He hoped that Ye Chen would be able to shine, and that there would be more to watch.
But of course, he knew that the sword intent was not that easy to learn. It was related to the comprehensive ability, but it was also related to the talent in the sword arts. But, it did not mean that just because one was talented in the sword arts, they would be able to learn the sword intent. There were a lot of Astral Reaching Realm sword artists in this true spirit continent who had not learned the sword intent yet. And some of the warriors who did not have the comprehensive ability and the sword art talent, and did not have a high cultivation, had somehow learned the sword intent.
There were some rumors about the sword intent in the true spirit continent. It was said that in order to learn the sword intent, one would need to have a pure spirit or reach the Sea of Souls Realm. These two conditions were the easiest to learn the sword intent. The rest would depend on the situation, since there would always be exceptions.
"Senior Brother Gao, if you defeat him, it will be your eleventh consecutive victory."
At this moment, a young woman's voice came from the audience stands.
Gao Feng's expression changed. He looked over and shook his head with a bitter smile. Defeating Ye Chen was easier said than done. He could only hope that Ye Chen's strength was not beyond his imagination.
The Star Scar Sword appeared in his left hand. Without taking it out of the scabbard, Ye Chen said, "It seems like your sister disciple really wants you to win. Unfortunately, I will not go easy on you."
"You better not go easy on me. I will beat you fair and square." Gao Feng clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white. The person who spoke was his junior martial sister, who was also his childhood sweetheart. This time, he had promised her that he would definitely achieve 12 consecutive victories to commemorate the 12 years they had known each other.
Chin!
Gao Feng's sword was taken out of the scabbard. The sword light flashed once, and an invisible sword pressure attacked toward Ye Chen. The calm air suddenly started to ripple like water, being pulled to an extreme.
"Pop!"
The sword pressure and the watery air had been cut open. Ye Chen's sword was only halfway out of the scabbard.
"Such a powerful sword aura!" The judges of the third and twelfth group were shocked. Right then, Ye Chen seemed to be a little bit more serious.
Over at the second group, the head disciple of the Heartless Martial School, Li Daoxuan, had accidentally noticed this. He shook his head lightly, knowing that it would be useless to not learn the sword intent.
"Sword Explosion!"
The sword pressure was only the beginning. Gao Feng performed the ace attack that he had used to beat Teng Mo. He threw out a sword attack, bringing up the sword wind and the sword Qi.
Pop!
Another crisp sound was heard. The sword wind and the sword Qi had been shattered, and the tip of Ye Chen's sword was finally revealed from the scabbard. The sword light that was as deep as the stars shone.
"Impressive!"
Gao Feng took a deep breath. He had never seen a sword artist at the same level as him who could break his ultimate move with only sword momentum. However, this was just the beginning. He was a sword artist who had comprehended the sword intent. Unfortunately, two months ago, his sword intent had officially entered the entry level.
Pushing his sword intent, Gao Feng's sword aura was extremely condensed. It was indestructible, and nothing could shake it, including Ye Chen's sword aura.
In the next second, Gao Feng suddenly appeared in front of Ye Chen. The sound of metal clashing and the burning sparks spread out in all directions.
Below the stage, in the spectator seats, many of the younger generation and the spectating martial artists could only see two blurry figures, one blue and one green, crisscrossing and flashing. The most eye-catching thing was the sword light that was everywhere. Every single one of them was breathtaking. After which, they saw numerous shallow scratches appearing on the stage. The scratches were incomparably sharp. With a glance, even one's mind would be pierced through.
Judging from the current situation, Gao Feng and Ye Chen's power were almost the same. One had learned the entry level sword intent, while the other had unparalleled sword art skills. His sword aura was horrifying.
On the huge battling platform, the long sword in Gao Feng's hand kept moving. The sword light was extremely sharp, and every time he waved it out, it would be extremely threatening. Sometimes, when his zhen Qi was extremely powerful, before the tip of the sword even reached its target, there would already be burning sparks shooting out between the two, which was quite shocking.
Compared to Gao Feng's unpredictable sword light, Ye Chen was like an enhanced version of his opponent. His Star Scar Sword was unrestrained and untraceable. Every time he attacked, it was flawless, which was out of everyone's expectation. It made Gao Feng unable to gain the upper hand even with his sword intent.
Of course, Ye Chen did not dare to be careless. Without using his sword intent, he would still have to use the poetic perspective of his Sky Shattering Clouds. He did not plan to use the poetic perspective of his Lone Peak Kill yet. It was not because the poetic perspective of the Lone Peak Kill was not as powerful as the Sky Shattering Clouds. In fact, once the poetic perspective of the Lone Peak Kill was completed, it would be even more powerful than the Sky Shattering Clouds. However, without the help of the sword intent, the poetic perspective of the Lone Peak Kill would not be able to reach its peak. The poetic perspective of the Lone Peak Thirteen Swords was the origin of Ye Chen's sword intent. After it had been completely combined, the poetic perspective of the Lone Peak Kill would also be closely related to the sword intent. If he did not have the sword intent, Ye Chen would not be able to completely combine the Lone Peak Thirteen Swords and create his most powerful sword movement – the completed Lone Peak Kill.
As for the Sky Shattering Clouds, it would also need the sword intent to reach its peak. However, it was less dependent on the sword intent than the Lone Peak Kill. Plus, the Sky Shattering Clouds was a frontal attack, while the Lone Peak Kill was different. The poetic perspective of the Lone Peak Kill was the essence of the Lone Peak Kill. Without the poetic perspective of the Lone Peak Kill, the power of the Lone Peak Kill would drop by at least one level.
On the stage, human figures flashed everywhere. The sword light flew everywhere. Beams of sword qi occasionally leaked out from the affected area, creating ripples on the dark blue light wall.
"How is this possible? I am older than him, and I have also learned the sword intent. How could I not have the upper hand at all? Just how powerful is his sword art?" The long sword in his hand was waved out like lightning. Gao Feng was getting more and more shocked. Towards the end, he had already been convinced by Ye Chen's sword art.
As the battle entered the most intense stage, Gao Feng's face looked extremely serious. His eyes had almost stopped blinking. Together with his mental power, he watched every single movement of Ye Chen, hoping to find a tiny flaw. As long as there was a tiny flaw, he would be able to fight back aggressively.
After a while, Gao Feng finally gave up. Ye Chen did not have a single flaw. At least for him, Ye Chen was flawless. Even if there was a flaw, that kind of weird flaw could have been purposely made by his opponent to disrupt his rhythm.
Taking a step back, Gao Feng held his sword with both of his hands and threw out a sword attack.
"Ghost Wind!"
'Since there is no flaw, then I will create one myself.' Gao Feng had used all of his power for this sword attack. His sword intent had been completely condensed into the sword wind.
A ghostly cry was heard. That horrifying sword wind turned into sword qi from time to time, then disappeared from time to time.
"The sword intent is not bad, but the poetic perspective of the sword art is not that high."
The reason why Ye Chen was able to fight on par with his opponent without using his sword intent was not only because of his powerful sword techniques and sword aura, but also because of his powerful poetic perspective. With the two combined, even Gao Feng, who had learned the entry level sword intent, could not force him to use his sword intent.
As Gao Feng took a step back, Ye Chen also took a step back. He held up his Star Scar Sword with both of his hands and threw it down vertically with an aura of thunder and lightning.
"Sky Shattering Clouds!"
Swoosh, swoosh …
There was a light sparkle in the air. Gao Feng's sword wind had been shattered immediately, splashing everywhere like water. Meanwhile, Ye Chen's attack had disappeared as well.
Gao Feng's expression changed suddenly as his eyes looked determined, "I was planning to save this attack for the last moment. But now, you have what it takes for me to use it."
His entry level sword intent spread out, surrounding Gao Feng. He held the sword handle tightly with his right hand, while his left hand was on the end of the handle. In the next second, an extremely sharp sword aura exploded. Together with his slim body, his whole body looked like a great sword that was about to be taken out of its scabbard.
"Hehe, this Gao Feng is not bad. I did not expect that he would have an even more powerful ace attack. Ye Chen is going to lose." Tang Xiaoshan crossed his arms in front of his chest, a smile appearing on his face.
Facing Gao Feng, who had an extremely sharp aura, Ye Chen shook his head, "Sword intent … I know it too. I was planning to fight more." As for Gao Feng's sword art skills, Ye Chen was a bit impressed. It was just like how Wei Renjie felt about Lynch. Otherwise, there would be no need for him to waste so much time. He could have taken care of his opponent as soon as he got on the stage. With his power, it was not impossible.
"What? He has also learned the sword intent?" The judge of the third group was shocked.
A horrifying sharp intent burst out, and Ye Chen's aura was completely different from before. His blue robe danced in the air, and an invisible sword aura that had been infused with sword intent had pierced through Gao Feng's sword aura without any mercy. Gao Feng's sword aura, which had been rising up, seemed like a child's joke under this attack. It was like a balloon that had been deflated, and it started to deflate.
Gao Feng was terrified. 'Is this his real power?'
Only Gao Feng himself knew how powerful the ace attack that he had prepared so carefully was. As long as he threw out this sword attack, even those who were slightly more powerful than him would have a hard time. However, he had not expected that Ye Chen had not only learned the sword intent, but also used it to a higher level than him.
A sword light flashed across in the air!
Gao Feng did not even have the chance to attack. His zhen Qi layer had been shattered, and he was thrown into the dark blue light wall.
