After entering Water Bead City, Tang Ao slowed down his pace and wandered around the city.
On the road, Tang Ao discovered many martial artists within the bustling crowd. Most of the martial artists had cultivations between the 4th and 5th level of the Body Refining Realm, and there were even a few people who had cultivations in the Origin Realm.
"This is almost impossible in my Limestone City. Could it be that the battle for the City Lord has attracted so many martial artists?" Tang Ao's heart sank.
In Water Bead City, there was an endless stream of horses and carriages. The crowd was bustling. Occasionally, disciples wearing sect uniforms could be seen shuttling through the crowd. Tang Ao was wearing the uniform of the Seven Kills Sect, which attracted many people's attention.
"Disciples from all the big sects in the East Region can be found in Water Bead City. Eh? That is … "Tang Ao stopped in his tracks and let out a sound of surprise.
Not far away, the crowd was very dense. More than a thousand people were surrounding an arena, pointing at it.
"Arena?" Tang Ao was taken aback for a moment. Then, he quickly walked towards a place not far away.
Tang Ao squeezed into the crowd. The situation on the arena was clear at a glance. A martial artist with a long saber Life Spirit and a martial artist with a long sword Life Spirit were facing each other. It seemed that they were ready to fight.
"The weapons in these two people's hands are materialized Life Spirits. It seems that their Life Spirits have been condensed to an extremely high level." Tang Ao smacked his lips and sighed inwardly. There were really many experts in Water Bead City.
"Please!"
"Please!"
The swordsman and the saberman on the arena cupped their hands. Then, the arena quieted down. No one wanted to make the first move. They were waiting for the other to attack first so that they could gain the upper hand.
After a long while, the audience also felt that something was wrong.
"What's going on? Why haven't they made a move after so long? "
"What's going on? Isn't it said that the City Lord's son who wins the Heaven and Earth Ring will become the City Lord? These two people are standing still. What's going on? "
"I think this competition for heirs is just an act. In fact, the next City Lord has already been decided internally. These two are standing still, and someone will admit defeat soon."
However, Tang Ao narrowed his eyes. The bladesman and swordsman on the stage were all at the peak of the Body Refining Realm. In such a situation, no one could do anything to the other. It was not as simple as it looked.
"Brother, what's up with this arena?" Tang Ao asked a young man beside him.
"You don't even know that the Universe Ring of Waterdrop City has been held for more than three months. All the top ten warriors in the Universe Ring have the opportunity to join the City Lord's Mansion and get a salary," the young man glanced at Tang Ao with a contemptuous look, as if he was mocking Tang Ao's ignorance.
"This Universe Ring is also an arena set up by City Lord He Fengyuan for the next City Lord. In addition to recruiting talents, it is also a stage for the children to compete for the position of the next City Lord. Through the ranking in the arena, the children's ranking in choosing the business route will be evaluated."
"The higher the ranking on the Universe Ring, the higher the ranking of the descendants will be in choosing the trade route. The higher the ranking, the better the trade route they will choose. When the time comes, they will naturally be able to obtain the position of city lord."
"I see." Tang Ao's expression turned cold, but he did not care about the rudeness of this passerby. He focused his attention on the arena.
On the arena, the sabersman did not care about the various criticisms below the arena. His cold sweat was constantly dripping, and his forehead was wet. This sabersman was nearly 40 years old, and the swordsman opposite him was only a young man in his 30s. This made the sabersman feel very unbalanced. Although this swordsman was young, he was very calm, and did not have the impulsiveness that people imagined.
This swordsman was obviously also a combat veteran, and he did not look as high-spirited as he did on the surface. The sabersman could no longer remain calm. He lifted his saber and slashed at his opponent. This slash was ordinary, and it was just a probing move. The sabersman was only 40 years old. Although his talent was not good, and he had only reached the peak of the Body Refining Realm at 40 years old, he had rich combat experience. He knew that when fighting with warriors of the same level, it was very important to understand the opponent's moves. If he used his trump card at the beginning, then he would soon be defeated.
When fighting with warriors of the same level, it was like two armies facing each other. It was very important to understand the opponent's moves, especially when their life spirits were about the same level.
Tang Ao could see the caution of the sabersman, and he nodded his head in appreciation. Tang Ao often defeated the strong, and he knew the importance of tactics in battle. If he did not use his brain to fight, he would soon be defeated.
The bladesman swung his saber probingly, but he was soon disappointed. When the swordsman faced this plain move, he also swung his sword in an ordinary manner. The saber and sword clanged. Then, the swordsman's next move made the bladesman very depressed.
After the swordsman casually blocked the saber strike of the bladesman, he chopped out with his sword. This sword strike was also a probing strike. It was extremely ordinary, and it was no different from the saber strike that the bladesman had just executed.
The sabersman cursed, but he did not dare to be careless. After blocking the sword with his saber, he slashed at the swordsman's wrist. The swordsman did not dare to underestimate the sabersman. If this saber really hit him, he was afraid that his wrist would be cut off. He immediately dodged to the side, and blocked the saber that slashed at him. The two of them exchanged blows like this, and they exchanged more than a hundred moves.
The crowd below the stage also felt bored to death.
The sabersman could not help but feel ashamed. This swordsman was only thirty years old, ten years younger than him. However, his strength was at the same level as him, and his battle experience was also comparable.
After more than three hundred moves, as the two of them exchanged blows, they gradually figured out each other's moves. The battle became more and more intense, from the initial release of low-level martial skills to the eruption of high-level martial skills. They even used Zhen Qi in the process of the battle. The eyes of the audience on the stage lit up, their attention became focused, and they began to watch attentively.
When it came to the use of high level martial skills, the swordsman gradually gained an advantage. The swordsman's high level martial skills were obviously a level higher than the sabersman's martial skills. Moreover, he was very proficient in it. It was like an antelope's horn, unconstrained, and untraceable.
The swordsman's battle experience was not inferior to the sabersman's, and his martial skills were also a level higher than the sabersman's. The sabersman quickly lost ground. For every three sword strikes from the swordsman, the sabersman had to use four sabers to block. The sabersman quickly became breathless, and it was obvious that he was not a match for the swordsman.
"Heaven Wheel Sword!" The swordsman let out a shout, and the long sword life spirit in his hand released a cyan sword light. The originally tricky and sharp sword moves suddenly became big and wide.
In a few moments, the sabersman was forced into a corner by the swordsman.
The outcome was decided.
