"Lin Yao, get into the arena."
As the coach called out, the young people in the audience shifted their attention to him. Many people were concerned about the elegant manner of Lin Yao\'s punch just now.
While Lin Yao was looking for an opponent in the arena, a young man wearing the No. 18 tag on his chest spoke with a smile.
"Hey, Genius Lin, I heard that the principal praised your talent. Do you dare challenge a higher-ranked opponent?"
This was a provocation, but Tu Hong didn\'t say anything.
He had to punish those who violated the rules, but he only punished those who challenged without permission. As long as they were not insulting or personal attacks, he would turn a blind eye to this kind of provocation and would even be happy to see it happen.
After all, being a martial artist was a profession that improved through combat.
"Now, what\'s your choice?"
The provocation of the young genius who ranked No. 18 made everyone look at Lin Yao.
Lin Yao naturally did not stand on ceremony and responded without hesitation.
"Of course, you can if you want to see my strength."
As soon as he said this, the eyes of the person who provoked him lit up immediately. He held the long sword in his hand and got ready to jump into the arena.
However, Lin Yao shook his head before he could come up.
"Don\'t come over. I\'m not challenging you."
"Huh?" The person was stunned by these words, but he soon sneered. "Ha ha … Are you that afraid? Don\'t worry. It\'s not a shame to lose to me. Besides, the coach is next to me. I can\'t hurt you."
He wanted to show off, but Lin Yao\'s subsequent words stunned him.
"It\'s true that you can\'t hurt me, but … you are not worthy of being my opponent."
"Huh? Scoundrel! "
Lin Yao\'s words obviously stunned the student who ranked No. 18. After he recovered, the first thing he felt was contempt, and he wanted to rush toward Lin Yao on the spot.
However, before he could reach Lin Yao, he was suppressed by Tu Hong.
"Xing Min, go back."
"Coach …"
"This is the rule. Go back."
Being stared at by the coach, the teenager named Xing Min had no choice but to say something harsh.
"Just you wait. Don\'t give me a chance to fight you."
"There will be a chance right away. You just need to have the courage to challenge me when the time comes."
As soon as he said this, not only Xing Min, but everyone else also sensed Lin Yao\'s arrogance.
"Hey, what does this mean?"
"What else? He looks down on Xing Min and is ready to challenge those who are stronger than him."
"How arrogant."
"He is indeed arrogant. It's not just a challenge. Judging from his words, he wants to win for sure."
"Xu Lei, this is the same as when you came in."
As the others discussed, Xing Min was so angry that he laughed.
"Very well, I'll wait for you to give me the chance to challenge you."
"Coming right away."
After responding casually, Lin Yao ignored him and glanced at the talents of the top class again. His gaze lingered on a strong man in the fourth place for a while, but in the end, he looked at a contestant in the tenth place.
"It's you then."
Upon seeing that Lin Yao was ready to challenge the 10th place, even the corners of Tu Hong's mouth twitched.
"Are you sure? The students in the top class are selected from the first year of high school. He has been here for more than two years and has been a martial artist for more than a year. As for you, I remember that you have only been a martial artist for a month."
"I know, it's him."
"Since you insist, Xu Qingyang, come on stage."
The man did not get angry when Lin Yao called him out. He just looked helpless.
"It's really not easy to get the 10th place. I always feel that there are more people challenging me than challenging the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th places combined."
"I can't help it. The 10th place is special. The title of the top 10 experts sounds nice. Who else would I challenge if not you?"
While he was chatting with the people around him, the young man with the surname Xu and the name Qingyang also stepped into the arena. He was not hostile toward Lin Yao. Instead, he smiled and said to Lin Yao, "Junior Brother, you are very ambitious. All the best."
This was a compliment, but it was also a kind of arrogance to compliment others. The young man named Xu Qingyang did not regard Lin Yao as an opponent at all. He even thought that this was a battle of guidance.
Lin Yao narrowed his eyes at the sight of this.
'I've been underestimated.'
After sighing, Lin Yao looked to the side. There, a sinister smile appeared on Tu Hong's fierce face, and he suddenly waved at the two of them.
"Let the battle begin!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yao took a step forward and got ready to rush forward.
However, at this moment, he suddenly noticed that Xu Qingyang, who was opposite him, had actually swung his sword.
He was also a swordsman, so it was not surprising that he would swing his sword. However, Lin Yao was more than 20 meters away from him.
'Sword aura!'
Lin Yao was initially puzzled, but soon, something happened that almost made his eyes pop out. After the young man opposite him swung his sword, wind pressure roared and formed a sharp sword aura that rushed toward Lin Yao.
'How can a low-level person have sword aura?'
One could not blame Lin Yao for being surprised. It was not easy to release sword aura. It was still manageable at a high level, as one could use a huge amount of vital energy to forcefully launch a long-range sword aura attack. However, Xu Qingyang was obviously not a high-level powerhouse. The most likely reason he could release sword aura was that he had comprehended the profound meaning of sword aura.
Profound meaning could allow people to fight above their level. For example, after Di Qiang activated Full-Body Control, he was able to send Xu Wanqing flying with two punches. Lin Yao did not dare underestimate Xu Qingyang's sword aura.
Buzz!
The sword aura attack that was beyond imagination shocked Lin Yao so much that he exploded his thunder vital energy seed. The surging electric current rushed into his mind, and Lin Yao connected the brain electric current to the body's neural network and obtained a state of accelerated thinking.
In this state, Lin Yao saw the soaring sword aura and quickly analyzed the situation.
'I can't dodge it. The speed of the sword aura is too fast and too wide. I'm only accelerating my mind, not my body.
'If I can't block it, I'll face it head-on!'
The electric current acted like a lubricant, allowing Lin Yao's brain to think quickly. He was able to respond in a very short time, and his body moved freely. When the sword aura approached him, Lin Yao flicked his left finger and pulled his right hand.
With a clang, Lin Yao pulled out a flash of thunderlight.
The dazzling thunderlight happened to strike the sword aura. When the two collided, there was an instant roar in the arena, and a violent storm swept in all directions from the center of the arena.
The storm caused Lin Yao's clothes to sway and his hair to flutter. In fact, the gale even blew out of the arena and swept onto the people outside the arena.
However, despite being in the middle of the storm, Lin Yao was not afraid. Instead, his expression changed slightly.
'No, this is not the power that a sword aura should have … This is a long-range attack, not a sword aura.'
The sword aura did not sound strong, and the sword aura released by vital energy at the warlord level was indeed not strong. Its power was mediocre.
However, at the lower stage, sword aura attacks mostly relied on the profound meaning of the sword. One could only master the profound meaning after comprehending a certain aspect to the extreme. Among the many profound meanings, the profound meaning of martial arts had the greatest impact on the realm of techniques, and the profound meaning of the sword had the strongest offensive power.
Only when one's heart and mind were united and one's sword were sincere, one could comprehend the profound meaning of the sword. This kind of profound meaning was incomparably sharp and contained both intent and intent.
When Xu Qingyang attacked, Lin Yao thought that his ironwood sword would be cut by the sharp sword aura. However, the sword aura was shattered, and the gale howled.
His brain, which had been accelerated by the electric current, made Lin Yao think very quickly. He thought of many things in a very short time and understood the reason behind it.
'The long-range attack is not a sword aura but a gale. The opponent is a genius who has awakened the wind talent.'
While Lin Yao's mind was racing, the opponent's attack did not stop. He waved the long sword, and gusts of gale were unleashed, attacking Lin Yao in succession.
The howling gale was compressed together to form sword pressure, which was like a sword aura that wanted to defeat Lin Yao.
However, this was only a simulation and not a real sword aura. Gusts of gale attacked Lin Yao, but Lin Yao dispersed them with his great strength.
Then, Lin Yao tapped his toes and rushed toward Xu Qingyang, who was in the distance, like an arrow, wanting to have a close battle with him.
However, he did not charge forward.
Although it was not a sword aura, Xu Qingyang had used a real mid-range attack.
The sword pressure formed by gusts of gale made Lin Yao unable to increase his speed at all. After all, martial artists were still low-level, and very few people at this stage had mastered long-range attacks.
Therefore, Lin Yao could only sullenly endure the sword pressure and attack, but he could not attack the opponent.
'Damn! He used the ability of wind and swordsmanship to form a sword pressure attack. He has mastered mid-range and long-range attacks at a low-level stage. His wind talent is too shameless. '
Lin Yao felt helpless, but if someone sensed his thoughts, they would definitely spit on his face.
'You are the most shameless one. The Flashing Sword-Drawing Technique and the Clear Mirror Body Technique are even more shameless!'
Those two moves were indeed shameless. More importantly, Lin Yao could use them now.
The top contestants of the top class obviously did not expect Lin Yao to challenge them. Therefore, not many people wore the standard explosion-proof goggles to deal with Lin Yao.
Therefore, after defeating another gale, Lin Yao suddenly drew his sword and returned it to its sheath, forming a bow.
Xu Qingyang sensed this action immediately. He had also paid attention to Lin Yao's situation and knew his name. Therefore, when he saw Lin Yao's posture, he had a bad feeling and immediately covered his eyes with his palms.
At the same time, he also felt lucky.
'Fortunately, I'm a long-range attacker and have time to react. Even if I'm suddenly affected by the flash, I have time to recover.'
He covered his eyes with his palms and closed his eyes. However, when he closed his eyes, he did not see the bright flash that he had expected. Instead, he heard a thunderous roar.
Roar!
Rumble!
The unexpected thunderous roar made him tremble all over, and he felt as if his soul was about to fly out of his mind. He was completely stunned by the sudden roar.
Fortunately, he was not a villain and did not harbor much malice toward Lin Yao. The Deafening Thunder Roar did not frighten him too much, and he reacted in just two breaths of time.
However, these two breaths of time were enough for Lin Yao.
Lin Yao, who had mobilized his entire body, not only had amazing physical strength, but his speed was also very fast. After roaring, Lin Yao tiptoed and dashed forward like lightning.
By the time Xu Qingyang came to his senses from the shock, an ironwood sword had already lashed him with a terrifying force.
"Storm!"
At the last moment, Xu Qingyang was prepared to condense a storm around him to block everything.
However, Lin Yao, who was rushing toward him at top speed, was obviously more powerful. With a bang, Xu Qingyang, who was ranked 10th, was sent flying with one blow and fell out of the arena.
Xu Qingyang, who was ranked 10th, was defeated!
Pfft! Xu Qingyang, who had fallen out of the arena, spat out a mouthful of blood. He was injured, and his eyes were filled with anger as he glared at Lin Yao.
"Despicable! First it was the flash, then it was the Deafening Thunder Roar. Is this all you can do?! "
He was not the only one. The surrounding young geniuses were also looking at Lin Yao strangely. They could only say that the flash and the strong sound were indeed very shameless.
Lin Yao did not care at all about everyone's gazes.
"Only the weak find excuses."
"You …"
"If you're not convinced, wait for the next challenge. Coach, I want to challenge the fourth place!"
