"This is the finals of the Foundation group?" Yan Yuehong was a Foundation Paragon like her.
Wang Xuzhi nodded. "Third senior-martial brother is actually very strong. He's the first person to qualify for the finals among the participating Foundation disciples."
"Is it very hard to enter the finals?"
"It's extremely difficult!" He continued to explain. "All of the participating disciples are the elites of the various sects. Every sect will first hold a competition within the sect, and choose the top three to participate in the tournament. The Inter-Sect Tournament will be split into three groups. Every group will have more than ten people participating, and only by defeating everyone in the group, can you enter the finals. "
So that's the case. It seemed like this person called Yan Yuehong was quite strong. "In that case, you're very strong as well. You entered the finals as well?"
Wang Xuzhi smiled a little shyly, and nodded a little embarrassedly. This brat, he was so lawless in the past. She never expected that after five years of not seeing him, his personality had completely changed. She merely praised him once, and he blushed so easily.
Zhu Yao suddenly recalled that a month ago, she promised to watch him participate in the Sect's selection. She actually forgot about it.
"I'm sorry, Xuzhi. I promised to watch you compete in martial arts, but something happened a month ago, so I never had the chance to leave the mountain." When he competed, it just happened to be the few days when her spiritual energy went berserk. When she recovered, he had already finished competing.
"No … No, it's fine!" Wang Xuzhi's face grew even redder. Raising his head, he glanced at her. "You … Earlier, you called me …"
"Xuzhi?" Zhu Yao looked at him a little strangely. "Don't you always emphasize your name to me? You've grown up now, I can't possibly keep calling you little wimp, little brat, right? Why not? "
"Sure! Of course you can! "Wang Xuzhi hurriedly nodded strongly, as though he was afraid that she would change her mind.
He sure was a hard to please little brat. "When's your match?" Yan Yuehong had already won.
Wang Xuzhi turned to look as well. "It should be the next match."
So soon? Zhu Yao was a little shocked. Coincidentally, she heard the announcement of the final match of the Essence group. It was Wang Xuzhi against Xiao Yi, who won earlier.
"Big sis Zhu Yao, I'm going."
Zhu Yao nodded. and habitually reached out her hand to stroke his head. She smiled. "That person should be very proficient in formations. You have to be careful."
"Okay, I'll be careful."
"Do your best." Zhu Yao made a 'do your best' hand gesture. "Remember, winning or losing isn't important. It's fine as long as you don't get hurt."
Wang Xuzhi stared blankly, as if she hadn't expected her to say such a thing. A moment later, a brilliant smile appeared on her face, and in an instant, it was as if the multicolored light was shining brightly.
Zhu Yao reflexively raised her hand to block it. When she regained her senses, Wang Xuzhi had already entered the stage. Was that an illusion? Why did she feel that this little rascal's smile was so dazzling?
The match in the arena had already begun. Facing this final opponent, Wang Xuzhi had no choice but to be more cautious. Coupled with that exciting match, he began to pay more attention to the people in front of him.
Of course, Xiao Yi was the same as well. It had been five years. He had been expelled from the Inner Sect for five years, and today, he could finally wipe away the humiliation he had suffered, and seek justice for himself. Today, he, Xiao Yi, was going to let those people who had once bullied and humiliated him understand, what was a strong practitioner?
When experts fight, the brave one wins. Almost at the same time, the two launched their attacks.
Wang Xuzhi possessed the Fire-type Spirit Vein, yet, the first move he used was not the Fire-type Mystic Art he was proficient in, instead, he materialized several wind blades. Xiao Yi, however, did not put up a barrier. Instead, he slammed his palm onto the ground, and erected a mud wall to block the wind blades.
However, Wang Xuzhi's wind blades were merely a feint. When the opponent materialized the mud wall, he had already moved to the back of his opponent. Summoning his flying sword, he swung it downwards. That sword was imbued with spiritual energy, and the might of this move was astonishing. And, the opponent no longer had any spare energy to defend.
"Good!" Zhu Yao could not help but cheer for Wang Xuzhi.
That sword sliced past his body, and landed on the ground, emitting out a clang. And, the figure in front of him slowly dissipated, turning into nothingness. So it was just an illusion. Wang Xuzhi's expression changed. He did not have the time to search for Xiao Yi's real body, and immediately erected a defensive barrier.
As expected, the moment the barrier was formed, a sharp sword attack had already come attacking. It heavily struck onto the barrier.
Wang Xuzhi waved his sword to force the opponent to retreat, and then, he leaped and retreated. The defensive barrier had already shattered. As expected, the opponent was not easy to deal with.
Xiao Yao similarly held onto a longsword, and stared at him. The two of them were disciples who used swords, and were similarly sword practitioners. Compared to Mystic Arts, sword techniques were what they were most proficient in. Almost at the same time, the two of them gave up on their other Mystic Arts, and fought with their sword techniques.
Xiao Yi possessed the Metal and Wood Dual-Spirit Veins. His sword glowed with a faint gold color, and was incomparably sharp. It could both attack and defend. And, Wang Xuzhi possessed the Fire-type Heavenly Spirit Vein. His entire sword was already burning like a raging fire.
The two of them exchanged over a hundred blows, yet, they were still unable to determine the victor. If they were to continue fighting, they would only exhaust their own spiritual energy. Finally, the two of them had an idea. Xiao Yi threw out two formation flags, and a formation was instantly formed.
Wang Xuzhi had long been prepared for the opponent's formation. He flew up, and instantly distanced himself from the formation.
Xiao Yi instantly revealed a cold smile. Hmph, he knew it. As expected, the Inner Sect was filled with cowards. "Spirit Increasing Formation, activate!"
When his words fell, a large amount of spiritual energy gathered from all directions, and the formation on the ground emitted out a dazzling white light.
Wang Xuzhi's expression slightly changed. He did it on purpose. Generously throwing out the formation chess was just to trick him into distancing himself from the heart of the formation. Actually, this was not an offensive formation, but a supplementary formation to replenish spiritual energy. As long as this formation was completed, the person inside the formation would be able to instantly raise their spiritual energy to its peak state.
No, I definitely can't let him complete the formation. I can only stake it all on this.
Wang Xuzhi circulated all of the spiritual energy in his body, and in an instant, sand and stones flew everywhere. Gigantic swords that were as tall as towers emerged from the ground one after another, surrounding the entire field. The dense sword aura charged towards the clouds.
"This … Isn't this a sword formation that can only be completed at the Foundation stage?" A disciple outside the field exclaimed. Just how high of a comprehension must one have towards sword techniques, in order to be able to execute a sword technique that surpassed one's level?
Zhu Yao's anxious heart tightened even more. Little wimp was really going all out this time. Success or failure depended on this one move.
"Myriad Sword Formation, scatter!" When his words fell, the gigantic sword that was emitting out a piercingly cold sword aura, instantly transformed into countless tiny swords, and with an earth-shattering momentum, they charged towards the center of the formation.
In the end, Xiao Yi's Spirit Increasing Formation was still not completed. However, his spiritual energy had more or less recovered. With an extremely fast speed, he flashed out of the heart of the formation, and flew up. However, the myriad sword formation followed closely behind.
He had no choice but to once again cast an Earth-type Mystic Art, and raised a wall of earth to firmly cover himself. As for those countless swords, they still continued to attack the wall, and it looked as though they were about to break through his defense. Xiao Yi gritted his teeth, his eyes turned cold, and his determination to win flashed past. He definitely could not lose this match. He definitely could not!
The earth wall that was attacked by the countless swords, in an instant, dust flew everywhere, and the victor seemed to have been decided. Suddenly, a sword aura that was even more terrifying than the gigantic swords earlier, exploded from within the pile of earth. Time seemed to have stopped for an instant, and the swords that were still furiously attacking earlier stopped in the air.
Xiao Yi stood up from within the earth wall, and formed a seal with a single hand. His entire body was in a sorry state, but his entire body was filled with a sharp aura, and he shouted out word by word. "Sky. Slash!" He swung the sword in his hand with all his might, and those countless swords, at the same time, retreated in all directions, and only fell after crashing into the spectator barrier outside the stage.
Sky Slash? This was an Azoth-stage Sword Art!
The myriad sword formation was broken, and Wang Xuzhi's spiritual energy was completely exhausted, causing a backlash, and he puked out a mouthful of blood.
Yet, Xiao Yi had yet to finish his technique. The longsword in his hand pointed towards the sky, and in an instant, a gigantic spiritual sword appeared in the sky. That spiritual sword was even larger than the gigantic sword that Wang Xuzhi had materialized earlier by a hundred times.
Xiao Yi shouted out loudly. "Destroy!" The gigantic spiritual sword then descended towards Wang Xuzhi, who no longer had any strength to resist.
Zhu Yao simply felt her heart trembling. The ominous feeling that she had ever since little wimp stepped onto the stage, was instantly magnified endlessly. A chilling feeling instantly assaulted her heart, and her hair stood on end.
However, her body had already reacted a step earlier.
"Heavenly Descent!" A bolt of heavenly lightning descended from the sky, and directly struck the gigantic spiritual sword that was descending, instantly shattering the spiritual sword into pieces.
Xiao Yi puked out a mouthful of fresh blood.
— — — —
The entire place was deathly silent.
Everyone's gazes, gathered onto her face in unison.
"Uh …" Awkwardness was no longer enough to describe Zhu Yao's current feelings. Momma's egg, she herself did not even know what was going on when she made her move? She looked at her surroundings, and then looked at the tall stage. "Umm … My, my hand slipped. Heh, heh heh heh."
