Gu Jing walked up to the arena and announced the matchups for the fifth round.
Gu Yijian versus Wei Qingxuan!
Xiong Qifeng versus Ye Xing!
Gu Yijian and Xiong Qifeng were the two great geniuses of the younger generation in Celestial Ocean City. They were the two most popular candidates to win first place in this year's recruitment competition.
Therefore, in the arrangement of the competition, the two of them were key protected spots. As long as there were other opponents, they would not be arranged to fight each other.
In this way, although they avoided Gu Yijian and Xiong Qifeng's duel, they also avoided the possibility of Ye Xing and Wei Qingxuan fighting each other in advance.
In Ye Xing's heart, Wei Qingxuan was the strongest opponent, and also the only opponent among the younger generation in Celestial Ocean City.
The later he fought Wei Qingxuan, the more Ye Xing liked it.
Wei Qingxuan felt the same way.
Of course, Gu Yijian and Xiong Qifeng only saw each other as the biggest obstacle in the fight for first place. They did not see Ye Xing and Wei Qingxuan as real opponents.
In this way, the four of them were very satisfied with the arrangement for the fifth round.
The first to go up was Gu Yijian and Wei Qingxuan.
Gu Yijian was only 17 years old. He was dressed in brown clothes, his face was sharp and resolute, and he held an ancient bronze sword in his arms.
Standing in the arena, there was a sharp aura, like a sharp sword, showing off its sharpness.
Among the younger generation in Celestial Ocean City, there were many experts who used the sword. For example, Ye Yunlong was an expert swordsman. However, the most famous swordsman of the younger generation was none other than Gu Yijian.
Compared to Gu Yijian's sharp aura, Wei Qingxuan had a majestic aura like that of a mountain.
Wei Qingxuan's face was covered with a thin veil, so outsiders could not see her peerless appearance. However, from her slim and graceful figure, they could tell that she was a beauty.
Such a slender, elegant, and beautiful young lady, yet she possessed a heavy, mountain-like aura. It was truly contradictory. However, on Wei Qingxuan, these two feelings were perfectly combined.
This was the effect of cultivating the Mountain Technique to perfection. Its might was in harmony with the heaven and earth, making it look very natural.
Gu Yijian held the ancient bronze sword in his arms as his gaze roamed over Wei Qingxuan's exquisite body. The corners of his lips curled up in a lonely smile.
He obviously did not regard Wei Qingxuan as a formidable enemy. He smiled and said, "Five swords! I only need five strikes to defeat you! "
After he finished speaking, Gu Yijian added, "Furthermore, before I defeat you with five strikes, I will first slice open your veil … I heard that you have looks that are not inferior to your sister's. Let me see if this rumor is true. Haha … You don't have to be afraid. My swordsmanship is extraordinarily precise. It won't be off in the slightest and won't harm a single hair on your body!"
Wei Qingxuan's expression was calm. Her gaze was slightly exquisite as she said, "I hope your swordsmanship isn't as full of nonsense as your words."
Gu Yijian was startled. Then, he chuckled and said, "Interesting! I like cold girls like you. "
Wei Qingxuan's expression turned cold and she said, "You talk too much nonsense. Make your move!"
A trace of anger appeared on Gu Yijian's face. Wei Qingxuan's attitude towards him had ultimately angered him.
He snorted coldly and said, "Watch out for my sword!"
In an instant, the treasured sword was unsheathed and a flash of cold light shot out.
In less than the blink of an eye, Gu Yijian had already appeared in front of Wei Qingxuan. The tip of his sword had already pierced Wei Qingxuan's throat.
Hiss — —
All the martial artists below the level of Martial Dao Master sucked in a breath of cold air!
Gu Yijian's sword was too fast!
Even the vast majority of Level Six martial artists revealed looks of fear. Gu Yijian's swordsmanship made them feel fearful.
However, as the target of the attack, Wei Qingxuan did not show the slightest bit of fear. Her gaze was calm and instead revealed a trace of relief.
At this moment, Wei Qingxuan's body suddenly retreated backward.
Middle-grade body movement technique — Butterfly Dance Steps!
It was the same body movement technique as Wei Qingyan. Her body looked light, but her speed was very fast.
Moreover, Wei Qingxuan's attainments in the Butterfly Dance Steps were much higher than her sister Wei Qingyan's. Not only was it at the realm of perfection, but it had also integrated the power of wind into it. She stood at the realm of perfection and could be said to be mysterious.
The speed of Gu Yijian's sword was extremely fast. However, the tip of the sword was three inches away from Wei Qingxuan's throat and it could not get any closer.
It was not that Gu Yijian could not stab it down, but the speed of Wei Qingxuan's retreat was synchronized with the speed of Gu Yijian's sword.
Although Gu Yijian's inner strength exploded wave after wave, constantly increasing the speed of the sword, wanting to lift Wei Qingxuan's veil, the last three inches of distance was like a natural moat that could not be crossed.
Gu Yijian used up all his energy in one go but still could not catch up with Wei Qingxuan. He could only stop his body, take a deep breath, and then swing his sword again.
There was a flash of sword light and the treasured sword drew a fine ray of light in the void.
Wei Qingxuan's body leaped up and the treasured sword swept an inch below her feet.
At the same time as she dodged the treasured sword, the tip of her foot pressed down and lightly tapped on the body of the sword.
This tap was near the tip of the treasured sword and was very far away from the hilt. There was a feeling of using four ounces to move a thousand pounds, causing the treasured sword in Gu Yijian's hand to sink down and deviate from its direction.
As for Wei Qingxuan, she made use of the momentum to leap over Gu Yijian's head. Next, she landed lightly over 10 metres behind Gu Yijian.
"Is this your extraordinarily accurate sword technique?" When Wei Qingxuan landed, she chuckled.
Gu Yijian's face immediately turned green and he flew into a rage out of humiliation. He said coldly, "Previously, I was being protective of you and was afraid of hurting you. Hmph! Now … I can't care about that anymore! "
As he spoke, Gu Yijian's body did not stop moving. His inner strength was activated to the extreme and the treasured sword brought about a cold light. In an instant, he turned around and charged toward Wei Qingxuan.
However, how could Gu Yijian's swordsmanship compare to the speed of the perfected Butterfly Dance Steps that had been integrated into the wind force?
Every time Gu Yijian attacked with his sword, it was extremely fast. However, after ten consecutive attacks, Wei Qingxuan dodged them all. They did not even touch the corners of her clothes.
The surrounding audience was all shocked. Even some of the important figures in the pavilion had strange looks on their faces.
At first, other than a few people, who would have thought that Wei Qingxuan's cultivation of the fifth level of the martial path could actually threaten the status of Gu Yijian and Xiong Qifeng, two favored sons of heaven?
Even though Wei Qingxuan had the potential, her cultivation had not broken through to the sixth level of the martial path. Gu Yijian, on the other hand, had already broken through to the sixth level of the martial path for half a year. He was only one step away from consolidating his cultivation of the sixth level.
In the pavilion, Wei Zhengguang's face was calm, but the look in his eyes revealed the joy in his heart.
Beside him, Ye Wendao was shocked. He said, "Brother Zhengguang, Wei Qingxuan's strength has actually reached such a level. This is really unexpected. This time, she has the strength to compete for first place. It seems that her entering the gifted class is basically a done deal."
Wei Zhengguang's face finally revealed a smile. He said, "Hehe … Ye Xing is also not bad. Ye Xing is also not bad …!"
Although he said that, anyone could tell that Wei Zhengguang's tone was somewhat perfunctory. Obviously, he did not think that Ye Xing could be compared to Wei Qingxuan.
Ye Wendao knew that Ye Xing's strength was definitely not inferior to Wei Qingxuan's. However, he only smiled and did not say it out loud.
On the other hand, Xiong Baolong on the side continued, saying, "How can Ye Xing be compared to Wei Qingxuan? Congratulations, Brother Zhengguang. The Wei Family has produced a good junior. In the future, there will be another quota for Celestial Azure City's prodigies …!"
Although the Xiong Family was publicly recognized as the number one martial arts family in Celestial Azure City, the Yeh family's strength was not much worse than theirs. They had always been on good terms with the Wei Family and had a strategy to attack the Yeh family.
Wei Zhengguang smiled slightly and did not answer. The Xiong Family was powerful. The Wei Family had always been allied with the Yeh family to contend against the Xiong Family. Naturally, they had a better relationship with the Yeh family. At this time, answering Xiong Baolong's words would be openly slapping the Yeh family's face. Naturally, he could not do that.
…
In the arena, Gu Yijian had already struck out eighteen times!
The middle-grade martial arts technique, Hurricane Eighteen Swords, was all about speed. With the momentum of a hurricane sweeping away a fallen leaf, it defeated the opponent.
Unfortunately, Gu Yijian had already executed Hurricane Eighteen Swords once and still could not sweep away the fallen leaf that was Wei Qingxuan.
Gu Yijian sheathed his sword and stood there, panting. He said angrily, "Wei Qingxuan, you only know how to dodge and dodge. What's the point of continuing to fight like this? How are we going to determine the winner?"
Wei Qingxuan smiled faintly and said, "I still have to fight for first place with someone later. Of course, I have to spend the least amount of energy to defeat you. Haha … Right now, I haven't even used up ten percent of my inner force. Looking at how panting you are, that crazy attack just now must have used up at least half of your inner force. Don't you think this is meaningful?"
As she spoke, Wei Qingxuan's eyes narrowed. It could be seen that she was smiling very brightly at this moment.
After hearing Wei Qingxuan's words, the spectating martial artists came to their senses. It turned out that Wei Qingxuan was not afraid to fight with Gu Yijian. She had avoided Gu Yijian's attacks on purpose. Her goal was to deplete Gu Yijian's inner force.
From the looks of it, Wei Qingxuan had already won more than half of the battle. The martial artists suddenly had a higher opinion of Wei Qingxuan.
Not only was this woman's cultivation aptitude astonishing, her martial arts talent was astonishing. Her intelligence was equally astonishing.
After Gu Yijian understood the reason, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Before the final battle, he thought that he would be able to control the battle. Therefore, he made the bold statement of defeating Wei Qingxuan in five strikes.
In the end, not only did he fail to defeat Wei Qingxuan in five strikes, he was instead played around by Wei Qingxuan in the battle …
At this moment, Gu Yijian should be calm and regulating his inner force. However, after understanding all this, he could not calm down. Instead, his anger grew stronger and stronger.
"Do you really think that's all there is to my strength?"
Gu Yijian shouted angrily. "You can dodge the Eighteen Gale Swords, but you can't dodge the Blazing Sun Swordsmanship!"
The Blazing Sun Swordsmanship was a high-grade martial arts technique!
Gu Yijian's Blazing Sun Swordsmanship was imparted to him by the Azure Sky City Lord, Gu Cangnan. Although it was just a beginner's level, a high-grade martial arts technique was still a high-grade martial arts technique. It was extraordinary.
As Gu Yijian's voice fell, the ancient bronze sword suddenly turned crimson red, as if it was being burned by a raging fire.
The Blazing Sun Swordsmanship converted inner force to the fire attribute. Its power was astonishing.
Whoosh —
In the blink of an eye, the ancient bronze sword turned into a sword screen and enveloped Wei Qingxuan.
The power of this sword was astonishing and extremely terrifying. At the same time, it also sealed off all of Wei Qingxuan's escape routes.
