In the void, the red and purple saber gleams kept flashing in the void, like two bolts of lightning that were swimming around.
Each collision caused a loud rumble that sounded like thousands of Thunder.
Those who did not know might even think that there was thunder and lightning in the Trial space.
The battle between Lin Huang and Sword126 had lasted for more than an hour.
It had to be said that Sword126 was very strong, different from the bearded middle-aged man. Like Lin Huang, the bearded middle-aged man was well-rounded and had almost no shortcomings.
However, Sword126's sword was unconventional. Her sword only had three attack methods — stab, horizontal slash, and vertical slash. Moreover, her stab attack accounted for more than 80% of all her attacks. As for slash, it was only used when stab attacks could not be effectively countered.
Of course, her stab attacks were done to the extreme. Each attack was extremely fast and came from tricky angles.
This was why when Lin Huang fought her, he had to be 120% vigilant at all times. If he was distracted for even a moment, she could stab him in the head or in the heart.
To be honest, with Sword126's cultivation path, it was easy for her to kill an opponent who was weaker than her. However, if she encountered someone like Lin Huang who was on par with her, it would be very easy for him to turn the tables later on.
No matter how strong her stab attacks were or how many techniques she had, her overall attack pattern was too simple. When faced with an opponent of equal strength, as long as the opponent could last a certain amount of time, understand her attack pattern, and adapt to her battle rhythm, she would basically be undefeatable.
In reality, Lin Huang only took less than half an hour to adapt to Sword126's battle pattern. After that, he had been fighting her to learn her stab attacks. He was also using this battle to speed up the process of digesting what he had learned from Sword126.
Although Sword126 had extreme variations in her stab attacks and even added more slashes to make up for her lack of a single attack pattern, after more than an hour, she became more and more aware that her chances of winning were slim.
In this battle, it seemed like her attacks were more aggressive than her opponent's. However, only she, who was in the middle of the battle, knew that her opponent was in control of the entire battle. Her opponent had completely grasped her battle pattern and was undefeatable.
Even if the other party did not have any powerful killer moves that could kill him and end the battle, and this stalemate could continue for a long time, but in reality, he had already lost. Because he'd practically exhausted all of his abilities, yet he was still unable to do anything to his opponent.
Sword126 did not hesitate in the slightest. She was certain that she had no chance of winning at all. In a flash, she retreated to the rooftop of the small building that she was guarding. She stood upside down and faced Lin Huang.
After sheathing the saber, she said to Lin Huang expressionlessly, "You win."
"Thank you for letting me win." Seeing that his opponent had already admitted defeat, Lin Huang could only sheath his saber.
Originally, he wanted to spar with his opponent for a while longer, but his opponent clearly felt that he had no chance of winning, so he simply admitted defeat.
However, after some thought, Lin Huang let it go. After all, there were still 298 Sword Servants to come. There was no need to hold on to one of them and try to fleece them.
"There's no need for such pleasantries. You're really not weak," Sword126 said bluntly, "However, if you want to obtain the swordmaster's inheritance, this kind of ability is far from enough."
"Someone has already said this to me before." Lin Huang smiled and did not take it too seriously. This was because his opponent was not deliberately belittling him; she was speaking the truth.
According to the bearded middle-aged man, to pass the final stage of the Trial, Lin Huang had to break through to Sword Dao true meaning level. Although Sword126 did not say it out loud, she actually meant the same thing. Otherwise, she would not have said that he was far behind.
"By the way, I have a question for you. Do all your Sword Servants have numbers similar to yours? "Lin Huang could not help asking.
"Yes." Sword126 did not shy away from this question.
"Is there a Sword Servant named Sword11?"
"Of course there is. Our names start with Sword1," Sword126 explained.
If she had met a competitor, she would not have mentioned such a thing. However, Lin Huang was a participant who had initiated the Competitive Trial. Although the probability was extremely low, it was still possible for him to become the swordmaster's heir. Moreover, if the Trial failed, the participant would most likely die in the Trial. Even if they survived, all memories of the Great Heaven inheritance would be erased. Therefore, there was no need to worry about the participant divulging the secrets of the Great Heaven inheritance.
Hearing Sword126's reply, Lin Huang was a little surprised. He had initially asked out of curiosity and did not expect Sword126's answer to be so unexpected.
Before hearing Sword126's answer, he had always thought that Liu Ren's name change to Sword11 might have been a coincidence, but now it seemed that this was not the case at all.
"Can you tell me how your names are ranked?" Lin Huang continued to ask.
"Of course it's ranked according to ability. What else could it be?" Sword126 asked in return. However, she seemed to suddenly think of something and looked at Lin Huang with some wariness. "That's all I can tell you. You don't have to ask for more information about the Sword Servants. If you can obtain the swordmaster's inheritance, you'll naturally know what you need to know. If your ability isn't enough to obtain the inheritance, there's no point in knowing all this. "
Sword126's words completely blocked Lin Huang's follow-up questions. He had wanted to continue asking about Sword11, but it was obvious that Sword126 was unwilling to reveal more information.
'Looks like I'll have to ask other Sword Servants and see if I can find out more,' Lin Huang thought to himself.
Watching Sword126's body gradually disintegrate, Lin Huang's thoughts drifted.
He was a little concerned about Sword11.
However, after a moment, a notification popped up and quickly pulled him back to reality.
"Trial Participant Xie Lin defeated BOSS, points awarded: 100!"
It was another 'global' announcement.
Nearly three thousand competitors felt the pressure when they saw this notice.
Most of those who had suspected Lin Huang of cheating fell silent.
The first time might have been cheating, but now he had successfully completed two kills.
The first time might have been due to a loophole in the rules, but the second time was a little unreasonable. The Trial rules would not leave such a big loophole for someone to exploit. The most likely explanation was that the other party really had the ability to do so.
Of course, most of the competitors knew that a powerful monster had appeared in the Trial, so they were just spectating. After all, their chances of getting first place were close to zero, so they might as well enjoy the show.
The ones who felt the most pressure were none other than Unrivaled God and the few secret trainers from the top organizations.
When Unrivaled God first reached the top, those secret trainers did not pay much attention. On one hand, they were well aware of Unrivaled God's ability. On the other hand, the Trial had just begun, so there was not much of a difference in points. They all thought that the main event was the competition between the competitors later on.
However, a newbie whose name they had never heard of had suddenly appeared and killed two BOSSes in a row, widening the gap in points. This inevitably made it difficult for them to remain calm.
It felt like a few prodigies who were confident of scoring 680 and above during the college entrance examination suddenly found out that their school had a newbie who scored 700 and above in two simulations. It was impossible not to feel a sense of crisis.
