CHAPTER 34
The Gathering of Geniuses
"Do you plan to acknowledge her?" Yang Hongwu asked.
"It's too early now." Hua Qianxue shook her head and said, "It's not time yet. Let's wait until the time is right."
"Up to you."
Yang Hongwu didn't care about it. Anyway, it was their family business. It had nothing to do with him.
…
Time flew, and a few days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, the entire Golden Dragon City was bustling with activity. The Grand Martial Arts Practice Field of the Golden Dragon Dynasty was already packed with people.
The first stage of the Battle of the Dragon Pool would be held here. This was a grand event that happened once every ten years, and this year's Battle of the Dragon Pool was even more lively than before. Countless geniuses had gathered here.
The people on the VIP platform were all people with extremely high status. Among them were the Emperor of the Golden Dragon Dynasty, the three Martial Kings of the Golden Dragon Dynasty, and two special people, a man and a woman. Their status was even higher than the Emperor of the Golden Dragon Dynasty. They were the ones who had come from the Tian Long Sect to select disciples.
"The two of them are very strong. They are both at the Purple Mansion Realm. One of them is at the first level of the Purple Mansion Realm while the other is at the seventh level of the Purple Mansion Realm," Hua Qianxue said.
"Purple Mansion Realm, huh? Not a single bit of aura leaked out. It's as if he's just an ordinary person. However, upon closer inspection, his entire body seems to be surrounded by a purple aura. It's hazy and hard to see clearly," Yang Hongwu said.
"That's because your strength is too weak. If you can reach the True Spirit Realm, it wouldn't be like this." Hua Qianxue said, "Of course, you can see the purple Qi on their bodies, which is much stronger than normal True Qi Realm warriors. Only True Qi Realm warriors in the late stage can see this."
"Those people from the hidden families are also hiding among them." When Yang Hongwu saw Huyan Yong in a distant corner, a cold light flashed in his eyes. Unconsciously, he released his killing intent.
Huyan Yong was Yang Hongwu's humiliation. Huyan Yong was being trampled under his feet, unable to fight back. This time, he must kill Huyan Yong in the Dragon's Fury Secret Territory. If he didn't kill Huyan Yong, he wouldn't be able to clear his mind. In the future, he might cause inner demons, which was definitely not a good thing. Yang Hongwu had already made up his mind. He would kill Huyan Yong even if he had to expose the Nine Dragons Saint Body. Therefore, Huyan Yong must die.
Huyan Yong also felt Yang Hongwu's presence. He coldly snorted, and his eyes flashed with contempt. This made Yang Hongwu very unhappy. Huyan Yong didn't put him in his eyes at all. In his eyes, Huyan Yong was like an insignificant ant that could be easily killed.
Not far away, there was another person who hated Yang Hongwu. His eyes were filled with hatred towards Yang Hongwu. It was the Little White Dragon, Long Yu. After being defeated by Yang Hongwu in front of the Flower Moon Mansion, he was not willing to accept it. Therefore, he held a great grudge against Yang Hongwu. His killing intent was not concealed at all.
"Hua Wu Que, you better hope that you don't meet me. Otherwise, it will be your death." Long Yu said coldly.
"You should worry about yourself. Don't be eliminated if you can't even pass the first round." Yang Hongwu said faintly.
He didn't put Long Yu in his eyes. Although Long Yu's strength had increased significantly after that battle, and his strength had reached the second level of the Earth Energy Realm, he couldn't be that strong.
Other than Huyan Yong, Yang Hongwu was most concerned about, there were also a few people from the secluded families. Chen Xiaohu, who was defeated by Yang Hongwu, was nothing to be afraid of. There was also Su Yuexi, the secluded family's disciple who had the highest chance of winning the competition. This person looked very ordinary. He wasn't tall and was slightly thin. However, his eyes were filled with vigor, and his aura was restrained. There was an ancient sword hanging on his waist, and his right hand was placed on the sword's hilt.
A sword expert.
Yang Hongwu could feel that this guy was definitely a sword expert.
"That little guy's strength is not weaker than Huyan Yong." Hua Qianxue whispered, "Moreover, he's a sword expert. He's very difficult to deal with. His battle body is the Golden Sword Body, which is a very good battle body. In the Ancient Domain, he can be considered as a genius. He also cultivated a good sword technique, which can allow him to kill opponents who are stronger than him."
"No wonder I felt a surging sword intent from his body." Yang Hongwu narrowed his eyes, and his battle intent also rose. Sure enough, there were many strong experts.
"It's not sword intent, it's just sword Qi." Hua Qianxue said, "Don't confuse sword Qi with sword intent. Sword intent is not something that people of your level can comprehend. Those who can truly comprehend sword intent are true geniuses, peerless geniuses. Even in the Ancient Domain, there are only a few of them."
"What's the difference between sword Qi and sword intent?" Yang Hongwu heard her and asked.
"Sword Qi is just Qi. When True Qi is released through the sword, it can be called sword Qi. Sword intent is different, it's a kind of will, it's the comprehension of the sword, it's a kind of method to use mental power. Of course, this is just a saying. In fact, sword intent can only be understood and not explained. You'll understand once you comprehend it."
"How can I comprehend sword intent?" Yang Hongwu asked again. Since that's the case, sword intent should be very powerful. If he could comprehend sword intent, his battle strength would increase by a lot.
"You're not strong enough now. Wait until you reach the Violet Palace Realm, then you can think about sword intent." Hua Qianxue said unhappily, "You can't even stand properly, and you still want to run? The road has to be taken step by step, and the rice has to be eaten bite by bite."
"I know." Although he said so, in his heart, he was thinking about how to comprehend sword intent.
"There's something wrong with that guy." Hua Qianxue pointed at Yang Hongtian and said, "You have to be careful when you meet him."
"Yang Hongtian, could it be that you're mistaken?" Yang Hongwu saw that the person Hua Qianxue was pointing at was his cheap brother, Yang Hongtian. He was a little surprised. Yang Hongtian's strength was only at the first level of the Aura Realm. It was obvious that he forcefully increased his strength. His cultivation was not stable yet, and his True Qi was somewhat superficial. Why should he be worried about him?
"Do you think that his True Qi is superficial and that his cultivation is unstable?" Hua Qianxue asked.
"Yes." Yang Hongwu nodded, "He was once my big brother. His strength was originally only at the True Qi Realm, which was far from the Aura Realm. Under normal circumstances, he might not be able to enter the Aura Realm even if he was given another five years."
"That's just an act. In fact, his cultivation has already reached the peak of the Aura Realm Level 10. He's only one step away from the True Spirit Realm." Hua Qianxue shook her head and said, "If we really fight, I'm afraid that among the younger generation, no one is his opponent."
"How is that possible?" Yang Hongwu could not believe it. These words were too shocking. The peak of the Aura Realm? Could it be that his former big brother had been hiding his strength all this time? If that was the case, then … then his schemes were too deep, too terrifying.
After so many years of hiding, even the White Dragon King and Hua Wuying did not find out. Perhaps even his father, Yang Tianjiao, did not find out. Or perhaps, Yang Tianjiao was just covering for him?
He took a deep breath. No matter what, it was not important. What was important was that he had to defeat all his opponents and win the first place in the Battle of Dragon Lake. Whoever dared to stop him, he would kill them all.
