"Ha ha ha! Xiao Chen, do you feel my rage? I have to thank you. Without you, I would not have been able to comprehend such a strong Martial Technique. Rage, my flame!"
"Bang!"
In an instant, the rage in the crowd reached its peak. Suddenly, a flaming arm appeared on the ground. This arm was a hundred meters long. The moment it appeared, it covered half the sky.
Xiao Chen's slender body became very small before that flaming arm. He was like an ant that could be smashed to death with one slap.
The huge palm carried an overwhelming rage as it smashed down at Xiao Chen at lightning speed.
Xiao Chen's expression remained calm. His heart was as calm as still water, without any ripples. The purple crystalline Qi whirlpool in his body spun wildly.
As the peak state of thunder surged out, the purple crystalline saber Qi turned into a purple crystalline saber Qi.
The long purple crystalline saber Qi was as thin as a cicada's wing. It flashed in the air and chopped the arm that came out of the ground in half.
The crystalline saber Qi did not lose any momentum as it flew towards Xie Ziwen. There was a loud 'bang' as the saber Qi shattered Xie Ziwen's protective Essence.
Countless bolts of lightning exploded out, blasting Xie Ziwen beyond recognition. With a 'pu tong' sound, he fell from the sky.
"Ka ca!"
After defeating Xie Ziwen in one move, Xiao Chen sheathed his saber. The remnant flames and lightning in the air instantly mixed together and exploded.
Purple and red waves of Qi enveloped the entire stage with a swoosh. From afar, it looked demonic and beautiful.
When the shockwaves scattered and the light disappeared, a calm bladesman stood in the center of the dueling ring. He did not look sad or happy, arrogant or rash.
The cool breeze generated by the shockwaves blew at Xiao Chen's clothes, matching Xiao Chen's calm expression. At this moment, Xiao Chen gave off an ethereal and distant aura, appearing carefree and at ease.
"Xiao Chen wins. You gain another two points!"
The referee of group six suppressed his excitement as he announced the results. A true newcomer had finally appeared in group six; it was no longer a trashy group.
As the referee, he could at least be a little satisfied.
"Damn! Is there a mistake? He killed Xie Ziwen in one move. What exactly is the background of this White Robed Bladesman?"
"No matter what, Xie Ziwen obtained the forty-ninth rank in the previous Five Nation Youth Competition. Could it be that this person can get into the top twenty?"
"From the looks of it, he hasn't used his full strength yet. I wonder how much of his strength he has used."
"At least 70%. Otherwise, it would be too terrifying."
The warriors who had been paying attention to Xiao Chen's match were in an uproar. They had not expected such an ending.
In the first half of the match, Xie Ziwen was still in high spirits. The scale of the match was astonishing. He did not look any worse than Xiao Chen.
However, when Xiao Chen became truly enraged, he used one saber strike to instantly defeat Xie Ziwen, thoroughly shocking everyone.
In the spectator stands, the Evil Moon Pavilion elders all had unsightly expressions. First, an elite disciple was toyed with by Kim Tae-ho. Next, Xie Ziwen, whom they had placed their hopes on, was defeated in one move.
As a super sect, such embarrassing things happened one after another. It was a complete slap in the face.
Bai Zhan was speechless. This fellow already told him that he was not a match for Xiao Chen, yet he still humiliated himself.
When Xiao Chen returned to his spectator stands, Yun Kexin was astonished at the strength that Xiao Chen had displayed. She asked curiously, "Xiao Chen, how much strength did you use earlier?"
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and replied, "Not even half. Perhaps not even half of half."
Yun Kexin could not help but be horrified. Half of half? Doesn't that mean that he did not even use a quarter of his strength? What exactly is Xiao Chen's strength now?
In a spectator stand far away from Xiao Chen, the three genius cultivators of the Myriad Fiend Palace had also seen the earlier battle.
Bai's bright eyes seemed to twinkle like stars. He smiled happily and said, "Elder Brother Xiao Chen has become very powerful. Bai, you have to do your best as well. Let's meet in the finals together with Elder Brother Xiao Chen."
Mu Xinya, Jiang Zimo, and Chu Mu shook their heads and smiled bitterly, not saying anything.
After they parted in Desolate City, the three of them had set Xiao Chen as their target, doing their best to catch up. Now that two years had passed, the three of them had improved. However, the gap between them and Xiao Chen seemed to be growing larger.
It seemed like they would never be able to catch up to that threshold. Once Xiao Chen surpassed them, they would lose the chance to catch up.
To be in the same generation as Xiao Chen, setting him as their target was a tragedy.
After defeating Xie Ziwen in one move, Xiao Chen's popularity soared. In the next three matches, his opponents chose to forfeit.
After all, there were twenty matches, one after another. If one knew that they would lose to Xiao Chen, yet they still risked getting injured, it would be unwise.
Obviously, this was extremely unwise. The most important thing was to conserve his strength and prepare for the next battle.
After Xiao Chen sat down, Liu Suifeng, who had been watching the matches, immediately said to Xiao Chen, "A genius bladesman appeared in group ten. He is very powerful."
Compared to Xiao Chen, Liu Suifeng and the others were much more relaxed. They could watch the matches more freely. They could be considered as scouts, helping Xiao Chen to see which geniuses he needed to pay attention to.
A genius in the saber?
The Heavenly Saber Pavilion was famous for the saber. Under the influence of Liu Suifeng's eyes and ears, he naturally had a good eye for bladesmen. A bladesman that caught his eye and was referred to as a genius would definitely not be weak.
Since the group stages started, Xiao Chen had seen many genius swordsmen. However, geniuses in the saber category were rare.
Xiao Chen asked interestedly, "Is he a disciple of the Divine Saber Gate, one of the ten great sects?"
Of the ten great sects, the Divine Saber Gate was famous for its Saber Techniques. In terms of Saber Techniques, they were several times more accomplished than the Heavenly Saber Pavilion.
Liu Suifeng shook his head and said, "No."
Somewhat surprised, Xiao Chen said, "Then, he is a disciple of the Bai Clan."
The Bai Clan was also famous for its Saber Techniques. Their ancestor, Bai Shuihe, was a Saber Emperor. The Four Season Saber Technique was known as the Saber Technique closest to Heaven Ranked Martial Techniques.
Although Heaven Ranked Martial Techniques were strong, under normal circumstances, one had to be a Martial Monarch before they could practice them.
Given this, the strength of the Four Season Saber Technique became obvious among a large group of half-step Martial Monarchs. It was clearly an Earth Ranked Martial Technique, but it had the might of a Heaven Ranked Martial Technique.
This was like a cheat. This was also why Bai Qi dared to challenge Sima Lingxuan back then.
It was not strange for a Noble Clan of Saber Techniques to have a few geniuses weaker than Bai Zhan.
However, Liu Suifeng still shook his head and said, "That's not it either. This fellow is called Lin Fei. He does not belong to any sect. His Saber Techniques are very exquisite. The strength he shows is only that of a Superior Grade Martial King. However, when he brings out his combat prowess, even a half-step Martial Monarch would not be a match for him."
"He is going up again. He has already won ten matches in a row. I wonder if he can continue," Mu Chen, who was at the side, said.
Lin Fei does not belong to any sect. He is not a disciple of the Divine Saber Gate or a disciple of the Bai Clan. There are many newcomers in this Five Nation Youth Competition.
Xiao Chen could not help but look into the distance. He saw two youths already standing on the dueling ring for group ten.
One of them wore embroidered clothes with two crossed sabers embroidered on his chest. Xiao Chen knew that was the symbol of the Divine Saber Gate.
The other person wore azure clothes and held a saber about one meter long and two fingers wide. He looked very ordinary, looking very ordinary.
His eyes were hidden, like a silent volcano. A horrifying aura seemed like it would erupt at any moment.
This azure-robed man should be the Lin Fei that Liu Suifeng mentioned.
"There are not many experts in group ten. However, Lin Fei's winning streak might come to an end. His opponent is the elite disciple of the Divine Saber Gate, Ma Yuan, who was ranked thirty-ninth in the previous Five Nation Youth Competition."
"Furthermore, they are both bladesmen. They know each other very well. The situation is not good."
"The most important thing is that they are from a large sect. The Martial Techniques and Cultivation Techniques they practice are not weak. They are completely different from the other opponents."
Clearly, Lin Fei was very popular. Before the duel started, many of the cultivators near Xiao Chen started discussing him.
Ma Yuan held a slender scarlet saber in his hand. He looked at Lin Fei and said, "Sorry, I will be the one to end your winning streak."
Lin Fei smiled and said, "Where does your confidence come from? Make your move. Let me see how many strikes the elite disciple of the Divine Saber Gate can take."
"A nameless brat, how dare you be so arrogant!"
Ma Yuan shouted ferociously, and his aura exploded out. The wrist that he used to hold his saber trembled, and a scarlet killing Qi immediately spread out from his body.
"Traceless Blood Shadow!"
The moment Ma Yuan made his move, he did not intend to hold back. He immediately used the starting stance of the Superior Grade Earth Ranked Saber Technique of the Divine Saber Gate, the Blood Shadow Saber Technique.
Instantly, scarlet saber lights flew out from the saber. As they scattered, the entire place was filled with scarlet lights.
The silhouette contained sharp killing intent. Every strand of killing intent was firmly locked onto Lin Fei, not giving him much chance to dodge.
Liu Suifeng sighed and said, "The disciples of a large sect are really good. The moment they start, they use an Earth Ranked Saber Technique. Look at the state and wonders of this Saber Technique. It is not something an ordinary Saber Technique can compare to."
Xiao Chen agreed with Liu Suifeng's words. For the Blood Shadow Saber Technique, the blood represented killing Qi, and the shadows represented nimble and formless trajectories. This was just the starting stance, and it already caused the killing intent to scatter like snowflakes.
This Ma Yuan was indeed quite capable. However, whether he could obtain victory or not depended on how deep his understanding of the state of the Blood Shadow Saber Technique was.
A large sect was good. They could give you Martial Techniques that ordinary people would find hard to obtain. However, how much you could bring out depended on your talent.
Lin Fei was expressionless. However, at this moment, his originally lifeless eyes became lively. He quickly swept his gaze over the Blood Shadow Saber Light and Ma Yuan.
After that, Lin Fei quickly made a decision in his heart. He revealed a cold smile and drew his saber with a 'xiu' sound.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Fei sent out ten saber strikes. The sharp saber Qi were like arrows, unblockable. They all struck the weakest part of the Blood Shadow Saber Qi.
Clanging sounds resounded and the blood shadows filling the air were all shattered by Lin Fei. The starting stance of the Blood Shadow Saber Technique was broken just like that.
Xiao Chen said, "Ma Yuan is going to lose."
Mu Chen and the others felt it was strange. This was just the beginning. Why did Xiao Chen say that Ma Yuan was going to lose?
Ma Yuan appeared somewhat dispirited. The Blood Shadow Saber Technique had just started. It had not even had time to display its might. How could it be broken so quickly? How was he going to continue fighting?
