Although Yun Ruoxi was one of the four great geniuses of Yu Province, she could only be considered as ordinary in the Royal City.
Compared to the geniuses of the same level in the Royal City, she was even somewhat lacking. But after cultivating the sword technique that Lin Yun had imparted to her, her strength had increased tremendously.
And last night, Lin Yun had carved another three inscription symbols for her, causing her strength, sensitivity, and endurance to double, allowing her to completely skip levels and defeat the geniuses of the Royal City.
Although Duan Yu's cultivation was higher than Yun Ruoxi's by a level.
But other than his vitality being denser than Yun Ruoxi's, his strength, speed, patience, and other aspects were all inferior to Yun Ruoxi's.
After being beaten by Yun Ruoxi to the point where he couldn't even retaliate, Duan Yu finally realised that he had probably kicked an iron plate this time.
He didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately condensed his vitality into a martial soul behind him, which was a pair of sharp and slender deerskin boots.
This pair of deerskin boots emitted a green glow, and was obviously a Profound rank martial soul.
After this pair of deerskin boots appeared, Duan Yu's movement speed suddenly increased, forming an illusory shadow as he moved, as if he had executed some kind of powerful movement technique.
All of the attacks that Yun Ruoxi slashed out were dodged by Duan Yu who was moving at high speed.
"My martial soul's ability not only increases my own speed, but also allows me to gain the effect of evading other objects while moving," Duan Yu proudly introduced his martial soul's ability after dodging Yun Ruoxi's attack.
Hearing Duan Yu's words, Yun Ruoxi's expression changed slightly. Before she could react, Duan Yu held his sword and rushed towards Yun Ruoxi.
His ethereal figure was like an illusion, constantly flickering as he moved, elongating into a blurry shadow, dazzling one's eyes.
Yun Ruoxi hurriedly executed the sword technique that Lin Yun had taught her, and faced Duan Yu head-on.
Duan Yu didn't dare to be careless. The principle behind his martial soul's ability to evade attacks was to suck in the surrounding air and compress it to form a high-pressure membrane around his body.
It was this layer of high-pressure air membrane that repelled all objects that got close to him.
Of course, this high-pressure air membrane was not omnipotent. It could only deflect blunt side attacks, but not direct attacks at right angles.
And when the attack was strong enough and fast enough, the membrane could not be bounced off.
When Yun Ruoxi performed the swordsmanship taught by Lin Yun, the strength and angle of her attacks became extremely tricky and sharp.
Even with the assistance of his martial soul, Duan Yu didn't dare to let his guard down.
Because if he wasn't careful, Yun Ruoxi's sword would very likely pierce through that membrane and harm Duan Yu's body.
In the blink of an eye, Duan Yu and Yun Ruoxi had exchanged dozens of blows.
Duan Yu's identity could be said to be top-notch, but Yun Ruoxi's swordsmanship was also incomparably sharp.
Throughout the course of the battle, Yun Ruoxi was the one attacking, while Duan Yu was constantly dodging and evading.
Just as the two of them were locked in a stalemate, Yun Ruoxi suddenly retreated two steps and stabbed the sword in her hand into the ground at lightning speed.
In the instant that the sword was stabbed into the ground, six invisible and sharp sword qi abruptly burst out from the ground. Like six invisible swords, they surrounded Duan Yu from six different directions.
This was one of the sword techniques that Lin Yun had taught Yun Ruoxi — Six Sword Killing Formation.
Yun Ruoxi had only recently mastered this technique, and today was the perfect day to test it out in this duel.
The six invisible sword qi didn't immediately disappear after they were formed. Instead, they converged inwards, as if they were trying to slice Duan Yu into pieces.
Duan Yu had nowhere to retreat, so he could only stomp on the ground and leap high into the sky.
The six streaks of invisible sword Qi fused as one on the ground, forming an even larger sword Qi that soared into the sky, heading straight for Duan Yu.
Hovering in midair, Duan Yu could only watch as the invisible sword qi pierced towards his crotch.
Accompanied by a shrill cry, Duan Yu fell from the sky like a bird with broken wings, landing on the martial stage without any reaction. He was already drenched in blood, and his face was beyond recognition. It was a ghastly sight.
The crowd was deathly silent.
The spectators below the stage were all dumbfounded.
They couldn't believe the shocking scene that had just unfolded before their eyes.
The young master of the Duan Clan, Duan Yu, had actually lost to a young girl with a lower cultivation than him after using his martial soul.
What was even more unbelievable was that this young girl hadn't even used her martial soul!
Even Tan Qian's face was filled with surprise. He hadn't expected Yun Ruoxi to win at all.
It wasn't until the invigilator announced Yun Ruoxi's victory that the crowd regained their senses and gasped.
"I didn't expect this young girl from the Yuzhou County to be so strong!"
"Actually, she's not the strong one, but the sword skill that she just used! I'm afraid that even I wouldn't be able to withstand that sword skill! "
"That's right. According to my estimation, that sword skill is at least a high-grade mystic rank, or even an earth-rank!"
"What? Earth-rank? Even in the entire Southern Summer King Kingdom, it's an absolute existence. How could a young girl from the Yuzhou County possess an earth-rank sword skill? "
Amidst the exclamations of the crowd, Yun Ruoxi slowly walked down the martial stage and came before Lin Yun. She smiled at Lin Yun with a grateful expression, "Thank you, Lin Yun. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have won today."
Lin Yun replied nonchalantly, "It's nothing, don't worry about it."
After a few more matches, it was finally Lin Yun's turn.
"The 36th match, Lin Yun versus Nangong Yi."
After the invigilator announced, a handsome young man with a longsword on his back spread his arms and flew onto the martial stage.
This handsome young man was obviously Nangong Yi. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his cultivation was the same as Duan Yu's, mid-stage eighth level Martial Warrior.
Because he was born into the Nangong Clan, his vitality reserves were more abundant than Duan Yu's, and he was clearly stronger.
"Who's Lin Yun? Hurry up and come up! " Nangong Yi stood on the martial stage and scanned the crowd with a fiery gaze, trying to find Lin Yun.
Under Nangong Yi's fiery gaze, a black-haired young man with a cold expression quickly stepped onto the martial stage. This young man was undoubtedly Lin Yun.
Lin Yun's appearance was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, causing a huge uproar in the crowd.
"Is this the Lin Yun who is rumored to have killed a demon? Why is he only a mid-stage seventh level Martial Warrior? He's much weaker than I imagined. "
"Can he really kill a demon with this kind of strength? It's obvious that the three marquises and the demon were both injured, and he ran to finish them off, right? "
