Suppressing his Sword Dao back to its level-6 limit, Lin Huang and the bald Sword Servant soon fell into an intense battle.
The bald Sword Servant's ability was not considered strong among the many Sword Servants. Lin Huang could roughly tell that the bald Sword Servant should be ranked between 100th and 120th. However, his ability was actually above Unrivaled God and the rest.
Lin Huang also noticed the battle between the other three Sword Servants and Unrivaled God and the rest. He roughly estimated that the three Sword Servants' abilities were also between 100th and 200th. Their one-on-one abilities should be slightly stronger than Unrivaled God and the rest.
In terms of individual ability, Unrivaled God and the other three would probably be ranked between 200th and 300th among the Sword Servants.
Among them, Unrivaled God's overall ability was actually the strongest. As he was too well-rounded, his ability would probably be ranked around 200th among the sealed Sword Servants. The weakest was Departed Feather, whose overall ability was around 300th. Frontier and Forbidden Lamella's overall ability was similar, probably between 240th and 260th. Their Sword Dao strengths were obvious, but so were their weaknesses.
If there were not so many spectators participating in the battle, even Unrivaled God and the other three at their peak would probably have a hard time fighting these three Sword Servants. Not to mention the current situation where the four of them had exhausted their Divine Power and God Rule Power.
However, even with close to a hundred people gathered, including powerhouses like Fallen Star, Unrivaled God and the rest were unable to suppress the three BOSSes. After all, there were people of all kinds among the close to a hundred people. Moreover, they did not trust each other, so there was no effective cooperation.
Lin Huang did not care about the situation on Unrivaled God and the rest's side. To him, it did not matter how many competitors died. Moreover, Sword Servants were not that easy to kill.
He was fully focused on the battle with the bald Sword Servant.
The bald Sword Servant's Sword Dao cultivation direction was somewhat similar to Lin Huang's. He was proficient in a wide range of sword skills and could use various types of sword skills. Moreover, his battle style was more inclined toward close-quarters combat.
Even though Lin Huang had suppressed the Sword Dao in his body, he was still able to fight head-on against the bald Sword Servant's attacks. This kind of direct collision without any fancy moves still made Lin Huang feel delighted. He didn't need to use his brain to calculate, he just needed to be reckless.
Streaks of red and green sword gleams exploded in the air. Although the power of the battle was not as great as when Lin Huang had unleashed his full combat strength, it was still slightly more powerful than when he fought Unrivaled Combat God and the rest in the first round. Their momentum even surpassed the chaotic battle of a hundred people 18 kilometers away.
The bald Sword Servant laughed as he hacked at the enemy.
"It's been a long time since I've had such a good time killing people! Hahahaha … "
"Me too." Lin Huang expressed the same feeling.
The two of them fought for more than half an hour, but there was still no clear winner.
Meanwhile, the situation on Unrivaled God's side was becoming clearer. After losing more than 30 people, everyone was finally starting to band together.
Death's Scythe's Fallen Star and the other two formed a small party and held down a Boss.
For the remaining two BOSSes, the remaining fifty or so people and their own acquaintances formed a total of eighteen small knife formations, splitting into two teams to face the enemy. Everyone was not familiar with each other and did not trust each other. Now, they had no time to learn the same knife formation, so they could only do things on their own.
Unrivaled God and the other three seized the time to recover their Divine Power and Rule Bending Power.
However, Lin Huang could tell that under such circumstances, it was only a matter of time before Unrivaled God and the rest were defeated.
The problem was not Fallen Star's team, but the other two teams.
Even though they had formed a small knife formation with their acquaintances and nine small knife formations worked together to fight the BOSSes, there was almost no coordination between the knife formations. Moreover, their abilities were uneven. Even though some of them had formed a knife formation, they still found it difficult to block a single attack from the BOSSes.
Lin Huang could almost foresee that these two BOSSes would definitely break through the weak knife formations and reduce the number of opponents step by step. Even the most powerful knife formations left behind in the end could not hold up by themselves.
Unrivaled God and the rest also noticed this, but they had no good solution. They could only hope that they could buy some time so that they could recover some of their abilities.
On Lin Huang's side, the battle was still going on.
The two of them were in full swing when the bald man suddenly asked, "I have a question. You didn't break through to Sword Dao true meaning when you were fighting them just now, did you?"
"Take a guess?!" The corners of Lin Huang's lips curled up slightly.
"I don't think I'm wrong." The bald man looked at Lin Huang confidently, trying to find some clues from his face. Unfortunately, Lin Huang only had a faint smile on his face and did not show any reaction.
"When you displayed Sword Dao true meaning earlier, it seemed like you've already mastered Sword Dao true meaning before this. You just unsealed it just now." The bald man had already guessed the truth. "The rapid growth of Sword Dao brought about by this unsealing is indeed similar to a breakthrough, and it's very difficult to tell the difference.
"However, after you 'broke through' to Sword Dao true meaning, there's no difficulty in controlling Sword Dao true meaning at all. You're even more familiar with it than controlling Sword Dao. This makes me suspect that you've completed your breakthrough long ago. That's because no matter what kind of genius you are, it's impossible for you to perfectly control this new power when you've just mastered Sword Dao true meaning. "
"That's a good analysis." Lin Huang smiled but still did not give the bald man a clear answer.
"I have one more question." Although the bald man did not get a clear answer, he already knew that his guess was close to the mark. "Why didn't you just use Sword Dao true meaning when you were fighting me?"
"What benefit would I get if I did that?" Lin Huang asked with a smile.
"You can gain points quickly …" The bald man blurted out, but his voice stopped abruptly. He immediately realized Lin Huang's true intention. He shook his head and smiled. "I underestimated you. You didn't hunt us for points at all."
"If I wanted trial points, I wouldn't have spared Unrivaled Combat God and the others just now," Lin Huang said with a smile. "Compared to points, of course the Sword Dao inheritance is more desirable."
The reason why Lin Huang said that was because nobody could surpass his points since a long time ago. He had already defeated 182 Sword Servants and accumulated more than 18,000 points.
There were only 2,999 competitors in total, which meant that the highest points one could obtain from hunting each other was only 2,999 points. Even if they defeated the remaining 104 Sword Servants (14 of them were defeated by Unrivaled Combat God and the others), the highest points they could obtain would be more than 13,000 points.
Therefore, as long as he was not defeated or killed, he would be the first. No matter how hard the others fought, they could only fight for second place at most.
"You want to use us to practice actual combat?" The bald man finally understood why Lin Huang did not use Sword Dao true meaning directly.
"Practicing actual combat is one thing, but there's also secretly learning sword skills and combat techniques." Lin Huang was very honest. "Therefore, I hope you don't hold back. It's best if you use whatever techniques you have, the more the merrier!"
"It's easy to lose friends if you're so honest," the bald man said with a smile. "But I like honest people!"
"As you wish, I'll use my most powerful killer move when I'm sealed. Let's see how much you can learn from it."
The next instant, the battle sword in the bald man's hand shone with a green glow. He adjusted his breathing slightly, and Lin Huang could even faintly see a faint green stream of air spurting out of his nostrils.
Almost at the same time, he moved.
In just an instant, he seemed to have traveled across space and arrived directly in front of Lin Huang.
"That's fast!" Lin Huang could not help exclaiming.
The speed of his opponent's sword was already at the same level as his Thunder Eclipse. However, this sword was even more perfect; it was almost at its peak in all aspects.
This was also the ultimate sword move that Lin Huang was pursuing, but he had yet to create such a move.
Lin Huang's pupils shrunk for an instant, and the battle sword in his hand instantly turned into a blood-red Thunder. This blood-red Thunder was several times faster than his opponent's green sword gleam.
That was right, Lin Huang had used Sword Dao true meaning.
This was because his opponent's attack could not be withstood with only peak level-6 Sword Dao. Not only could he not resist it, but he could not dodge it either. The only way out was to use Sword Dao true meaning to break it by force.
At that moment, Lin Huang realized that the bald man had actually been hiding his ability all along.
The combat strength that he displayed on the surface ranked him between 100 and 120 among the Sword Servants, but his actual ability was probably enough to rank him in the top 30. That perfect sword move earlier was even at the level of the top 20.
The blood-red electric gleam instantly tore the green sword gleam into pieces.
Lin Huang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the bald man. There was a hint of coldness in his smile. "I was almost killed by you. You really hid it well!"
"The path of cultivation is treacherous. Sword12 greets the future Lord Swordmaster, "the bald man said with a faint smile.
"Do you think that a nice compliment can appease my anger?" Lin Huang was a little angry; he had almost been tricked by the bald man earlier.
The bald man's previous attempts to strike up a conversation, his combat style, his ability, and his seemingly straightforward personality were all fake!
"Someone will teach you this lesson sooner or later. If you want to secure your position as Lord Swordmaster, just having ability and potential isn't enough. You must also have some tricks up your sleeve."
"Do you really want me to become Lord Swordmaster that badly?" Lin Huang's tone was slightly sarcastic.
"It's not that I want you to become Lord Swordmaster. Actually, anyone can do it. For the past 300,000 years, you've been the closest to this position. The position of Lord Swordmaster has been empty for over 300,000 years. We've waited for over 300,000 years, and we really don't want to wait any longer. "
Lin Huang could no longer tell whether the bald man was expressing his true feelings or just putting on an act. He simply chose to watch the show coldly and stopped talking.
"This is the second last stage of the Competitive Trial. It's only a matter of time before Lord Swordmaster passes this stage. The only thing that Lord Swordmaster needs to worry about is the last stage, "Sword12 continued.
"What, are you planning to reveal the contents of the last stage to me?" Lin Huang said with a smile. Even if the bald man dared to say it, he would not dare to believe it.
"I can't reveal the contents of the Trial, not only because the person who reveals it will die instantly. The other main reason is that if I reveal it, the contents of the Trial will definitely change and the difficulty will increase. "
Lin Huang scoffed. "What can you do for me then?"
"I can answer all the questions within my authority," Sword12 said with a slight bow.
Lin Huang narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Sword12 for a long time before finally asking, "If that's the case, tell me about Sword11 first."
