...
On the stage, shadows flashed by.
Moments later, the shadows disappeared. Fang Zhengzhi stopped and looked at Yan Xiu quietly. Like an obedient student, he had a look of anticipation on his face.
"At least 60% of it!" Yan Xiu spoke.
"Thank you!" Fang Zhengzhi bowed to Yan Xiu seriously.
"I did not teach you anything."
"Mm, I understand."
"Then shall we continue?"
"Okay."
As a result, the two of them began to look at each other seriously again. The atmosphere in the arena returned to normal, as if the previous scene had never happened.
"The sword technique I am going to use next is different from the one before. It will be harder to learn." Yan Xiu spoke again.
"Looks like this sword technique is very powerful." Fang Zhengzhi guessed.
"It is very powerful, but I do not like it." Yan Xiu continued.
"You do not like it?" Fang Zhengzhi roughly understood what Yan Xiu meant. He did not like it, but he still managed to master it. That meant that this sword technique was a must-learn technique for the Yan Family.
"This sword technique uses the sun as its base. It combines fire, light, and wind, the three Daos of All Creation. It also contains the killing intent of the Dao of Asura!" Yan Xiu began to move.
He waved the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan in his hand. Following Yan Xiu's movements, the air on the stage suddenly heated up. In mid-air, a red dot of light appeared. It grew bigger and brighter.
It was like a red sun.
"Single Sun in the Sky!" Yan Xiu shouted. The expression on his face suddenly became a little violent and a faintly discernible red light flashed across his eyes.
All along, Fang Zhengzhi felt that Yan Xiu was a cold person. However, this set of swordplay made him want to explode. It seemed like this was the reason why he did not like this set of swordplay.
Was this the killing intent of the Dao of Asura?
Alright...
It was really hot!
If Yan Xiu's Torrential Storm of Rose Flowers was filled with coldness, then this Nine Suns undoubtedly made one feel as hot as if they had fallen into a desert.
"Is this the legendary combination of ice and fire?"
Just as Fang Zhengzhi thought about this, Yan Xiu suddenly leapt up.
"Kill!"
"Slash?"
Just as Fang Zhengzhi was carefully observing Yan Xiu's actions, he saw a blinding red light appear from the edge of Yan Xiu's fan.
Then, the red light drew a beautiful arc in the air.
It grew bigger and bigger.
In an instant, a strong killing intent surged from Yan Xiu's body. Then, the red light left Yan Xiu's fan and turned into a fiery red crescent that slashed towards Fang Zhengzhi.
"Uh …" Fang Zhengzhi immediately gave up on the idea of continuing to observe as it was more urgent for him to escape now.
Fortunately, he had learned Wind Shadow Steps at the last minute.
His figure flashed, and his footsteps were like the wind.
Boom!
Just as Fang Zhengzhi dodged, a huge explosion erupted on the stage.
Gravel flew everywhere.
Fang Zhengzhi turned around and was stunned. He finally understood how powerful Yan Xiu was when he said it was very powerful.
The scene in front of him was obviously a little exaggerated.
On the arena, starting from Yan Xiu's arm, there was a deep sword mark that cut the arena horizontally into two halves. A black mark that looked like it had been burnt appeared on the white jade-like stone.
The terrifying power instantly shocked the surrounding examinees.
"This … is this really the level of the capital examination?"
"I'm afraid this is rare even in the Imperial Examinations?"
"The Yan Family … indeed lives up to their reputation!"
As the examinees discussed in shock, Han Changfeng, who was at the judging panel, felt an inexplicably complicated feeling. The Yan Family's' Asura Sword 'was enlightened on the battlefield and focused on the killing intent of Asura. Fang Zhengzhi shouldn't be able to learn it right?
Just as Han Changfeng had predicted.
Fang Zhengzhi indeed couldn't learn Yan Xiu's Asura Sword.
But, it didn't matter …
He could change!
If you use the sun, I will use the moon. If you use fire, I will use ice. Even though the sun has an incomparably strong light, the moon can borrow the light of the sun.
This was the Dao of Yin and Yang.
I can't use the Asura, but, I can borrow your Asura!
Hence, Fang Zhengzhi moved. He waved the white jade sword in his hand and a pure white moon appeared under the red sun in the sky. Borrowing the red sun's light, he emitted his own brightness.
"Slash!"
What was different from Yan Xiu's was that the sword that Fang Zhengzhi slashed out was pure white and bright. There wasn't any violent intent within it, only an incomparably calm and cold intent.
"Boom!"
On the stage, a deep sword mark appeared once again. But, this time, it was covered by a layer of ice.
Han Changfeng felt somewhat unwell. He leapt up from his seat and looked at the cold sword mark on the stage. The shocked expression on his face couldn't be concealed at all.
The surrounding examinees stared with their eyes wide open. How could this be possible? How high of a level of enlightenment did he have to be to be able to learn the Dao of All Creation?
He could learn any technique in one go. Furthermore, most importantly, he could infer many things from one instance!
Fang Zhengzhi didn't care about the reactions of the surrounding people …
Instead, he gazed at Yan Xiu.
Yan Xiu's heart was filled with shock. Even though, when he mentioned the Dao of All Creation contained within the Asura Sword, he had thought that Fang Zhengzhi might be able to learn it.
But …
Thinking was thinking. If Fang Zhengzhi really managed to learn it, his heart would still suffer a slight blow.
In order to understand the intent of Asura, Yan Xiu paid a considerable price.
"You borrowed my light? Then what about the Asura killing intent? " Yan Xiu gazed at the sword mark on the stage, then looked at Fang Zhengzhi. The Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan in his hand tightened.
"Light can be borrowed, but the Asura killing intent can't be borrowed … However, the Asura is naturally kind, and is also one of the good Daos. But, because it often has a heart of hatred and stubbornness to fight, it is misunderstood by the world that it is ultimately not a good person. I understand this, hence, I can use another method to draw out the Asura killing intent!"
"Another method?" Yan Xiu was somewhat confused.
"Yes, to use the killing intent, you can have killing in your heart, but at the same time, you can also have peace in your heart." When Fang Zhengzhi said this, he seemed somewhat mysterious.
"Peace?" Yan Xiu didn't quite understand.
"Hmm … this is a more decent way of putting it. Actually, it is to magnify the fear in your heart. To put it more bluntly, I am sufficiently afraid of death. This fear of death, can also become a type of killing intent to protect myself!" Fang Zhengzhi explained very generously. Luckily, his skin was thick enough. Normal people would definitely not admit that they were afraid of death.
Furthermore, they were afraid of death to such an extent.
"Afraid of death?" Yan Xiu was slightly taken aback, then, he seemed to understand something. "Thank you for teaching me this!"
"Ha ha, no need to thank me. I guess you won't be able to learn this. Because, not everyone is as afraid of death as I am." Fang Zhengzhi smiled slightly.
As the two of them interacted, the surrounding examinees, as well as Han Changfeng and the invigilators at the judging panel, were completely stunned by Fang Zhengzhi's words.
So …
Fear of death can also become a type of killing intent?!
