"Take this!"
The two words sounded as if they were carried everywhere by the wind and entered Shangguan Lianyi's ears from both sides. A cold light flashed in front of his eyes like a meteor streaking across the sky. It was also like a wisp of cool breeze that blended into the air.
This was the sword move of the Severing Wind Swordsmanship. It had transcended the original restrictions and formed its own style.
As the saying goes, the layman only enjoys the show, while the expert appreciates the skill.
"Good swordsmanship." Elder Qin Mo, who was standing at the edge of the Sky Martial Arena, immediately said in a low voice.
"Your swordsmanship is indeed good. Unfortunately, your cultivation is too weak, so you can only stop here." One of the Sky Martial Academy Lords shook his head. His voice was neither loud nor soft, but everyone could hear him.
"So fast!" Shangguan Lianyi's pupils shrank as he hurriedly drew his blade.
The long and narrow blade cut through the air as if it was going against the current. Under the blade, invisible ripples spread out. In the middle of the air, it changed from cutting to stabbing. The speed of the blade increased by more than 30%. It was going to reach Chen Zong first.
On the tip of the blade, there was a white inner strength that turned into a blade light.
It was the Upper-Class Earth Realm Swordsmanship passed down from the Shangguan Family.
Chen Zong's blade light flashed and turned into a bolt of lightning. Its speed increased rapidly, like a bolt of lightning tearing through the clouds. Its power was overbearing and its momentum was unparalleled.
Lightning Swordsmanship!
In the past three months, Chen Zong had improved the Lightning Swordsmanship under the guidance of the Immortal Huan Yun. After sparring with the Immortal Huan Yun many times, his understanding of the Lightning Swordsmanship had reached a deeper level. It had broken away from the original restrictions and completely became his own swordsmanship. He had comprehended the Realm of Truth and integrated it into the Extreme Flash Thunder Killing Sword, making it even more powerful.
It was as if Chen Zong wasn't holding a sword, but a bolt of lightning and thunder. Its light was dazzling and shocking. Its power was also terrifying. The shocking sword pressure made Shangguan Lianyi feel suffocated and numb all over.
"So he didn't use his full strength when he hit the Strength Testing Pillar."
"Is this his true strength?"
"He is indeed not weak."
Each of the Qi Refining Stage Seven martial artists had a solemn expression on their faces. They felt that the strength displayed by Chen Zong was enough to threaten them.
Under the Thunder Light Sword Technique, Shangguan Lianyi immediately felt that his hands and feet were tied. His opponent's sword was extremely fast and powerful. The strength of his opponent's inner strength was not weaker than his own, and it was even more condensed. When they clashed head-on, the inner strength covering the saber showed signs of collapsing.
When Xiao Chen executed the Reverse Flow Saber Technique to its limits, it was like a saber light shooting up from the bottom of a waterfall. The greater the resistance, the stronger the might and the faster the speed.
"I want to win!"
"I must win!"
Shangguan Lianyi clenched his teeth and mobilized all his internal strength. There was a faint pain between his muscles and bones, which was caused by overloading his internal strength.
"Counter Wave Splitting!"
With one strike, an overloaded inner strength covered the blade. The terrifying blade light seemed to be able to split apart a huge wave. The entire Heaven Martial Arena seemed to be split apart.
This was the killing move of the Reverse Saber Technique.
Shangguan Lianyi knew that he couldn't maintain this state of overload for long, so he had to decide the winner as soon as possible.
A flash of blade light was reflected in his pupils. He shook his wrist, and the long sword broke through the air. Thirteen consecutive strikes.
Severing Wind Thirteen Strikes!
The thirteen strikes hit different parts of the blade light. However, the blade light paused for a moment and then collapsed.
Chen Zong saw through a flaw in the Counter Wave Splitting, and used the characteristics of the Severing Wind Sword Technique to perform the Severing Wind Thirteen Strikes. He expanded the flaw and defeated it.
Shangguan Lianyi was stunned when his killing move was broken. He didn't have time to react, and the sword light in front of him bloomed again.
"I won."
"A warrior at the peak of the Sixth Turn of Training Force defeated a warrior at the Seventh Turn of Training Force. Another fighting genius."
Wu Mo looked over. When his eyes met with Chen Zong's, he grinned. His white teeth reflected the sunlight, which seemed to be a bit ferocious.
"I lost …" Shangguan Lianyi looked at his hands. His long saber fell to the side. His face was full of depression and loneliness. His eyes were dim, as if he had nothing to live for.
The world of warriors was so cruel. They could be proud for a while, but they couldn't be proud for the rest of their lives. Only by overcoming, being unyielding, and advancing bravely could they go on.
"Chen Shidi, well done." Lin Hao smiled.
In the following matches, Xuan Jianzi also defeated his opponent. Lin Hao lost by a slight margin after a fierce battle. Liu Ze was even more unfortunate. His opponent was Dai Junhe, one of the top ten warriors of Tianwu Academy. He was defeated in a few moves.
After the first round of matches, only three people from the True Sword Academy advanced to the second round. The other three were eliminated.
"Draw lots now. The second round will begin," Elder Qin Mo said.
Out of the thirty-two people, only sixteen were left. Other than Wu Mo, all the other disciples were eliminated. The rest were from the four academies.
This time, Chen Zong drew number three. His opponent was number four, a warrior at the Seventh Turn of Training Force.
Number one and number two were facing off.
Number one was one of the eight war generals of the Ferocious Blood Academy, the Beast Warrior, Guo Hai. Number two was one of the top ten warriors of Tianwu Academy, the Black Spear Warrior, He Lianyu.
In terms of reputation, they were on the same level. In terms of cultivation, they were both in the Eighth Turn of Training Force, so they were on the same level. Victory or defeat depended on one's fighting ability and a little bit of luck.
Guo Hai wore a short robe made of beast skin. His muscles bulged like steel, giving him a wild aura.
The Ferocious Blood Academy's disciples had strong survival skills and were good at killing. Guo Hai had walked through many life and death situations. His killing intent surrounded his body and mixed with his aura. It was like a strong wind whistling.
He crouched down slightly, like a fierce tiger or a ferocious wolf, ready to pounce at any time to attack his prey.
He was good at fighting, which was why he was a war general. He was good at imitating beasts, which was why he was a beast warrior.
He Lianyu's expression was cold, like cold steel. He held a black spear in his hand. The spear was covered with spirals, and the tip of the spear was as bright as snow. It was as if he was facing an army of thousands of men and horses. He gave off an aura that could break through a thousand men's army, pressing forward with indomitable will.
Before they made their moves, the auras of the two sides collided. A formless sound seemed to be heard. Their auras overflowed, bringing about gusts of wind.
The Eight War Generals against the Ten Martial Heroes!
The muscles of the Beast Warrior Guo Hai's legs bulged in a strange way. A tyrannical force was transmitted to the soles of his feet, shattering the arena. He pounced out like a cheetah with the ferocity of a ferocious tiger. He raised his palm and fiercely slapped toward the Black Spear Warrior He Lianyu. It was like a giant bear swinging its paw, powerful and heavy, like a mountain crashing down.
Chen Zong's eyes lit up. He was very surprised. From this attack, he could see that Guo Hai's martial arts were exquisite. He had mastered the essence of the cheetah, tiger, and black bear, and even used them together.
He Lianyu's hands trembled. His spear pierced through the air like it could break through a thousand men's army. This spear was fierce and powerful, able to break through all obstacles.
When Guo Hai's palm landed, it suddenly changed from a violent force to a tricky one. It was as if a black bear had turned into a poisonous snake. His arms were soft as if they had no bones. Under the twisting, he changed the direction of the incoming spear. His left hand followed the momentum and struck out. The joints of his fingers protruded like the fangs of a ferocious wolf.
He Lianyu spun his spear and used the end of the spear to face Guo Hai.
Exquisite martial arts, rich combat experience, and outstanding combat techniques. Guo Hai and He Lianyu each used their own methods. It was too much for the spectators to take in, making them exclaim in admiration.
Guo Hai lived up to his title as a Beast Warrior. He had mastered the essence of all kinds of demonic beasts, including tigers, wolves, leopards, bears, snakes, and eagles, and merged them into his attacks. His style was constantly changing. When facing him, one had to be prepared for the opponent's style to change at any time, exhausting their mind and body. However, He Lianyu's spear had an indomitable aura that could break through a thousand men's army.
Guo Hai's right palm was like a tiger's claw, grabbing the spear. His left hand was like a wolf's fangs. He Lianyu immediately shook his spear. The spear trembled, wanting to break through Guo Hai's right palm. However, he was one step too slow and got hit in the chest. With a groan, the spear left his hand and the end of the spear fiercely swung toward Guo Hai, injuring him.
It was only a minor injury. The two did not stop and continued to fight.
This battle concerned whether or not they could enter the final point competition. They could not afford to be careless.
"Eight Ultimate Beast Warriors!"
Guo Hai executed his killer move. His figure changed, violent, brave, swift, domineering, crafty, and all sorts of transformations. As he waved his arms, countless illusions appeared. There were bears, wolves, tigers, leopards, and so on. It was as if eight beasts had gathered and surrounded him, all of them charging towards He Lianyu.
"Thousand Army Spear? Army Destroyer! "
He Lianyu's inner strength surged. His spear emitted a dazzling light that was forceful and overbearing. With a thrust of his spear, the light of the spear moved unhindered, as if it could open up a bloody path among the thousands of men and horses. It could even defeat the thousands of men and horses.
Their collision caused the arena to shatter inch by inch. It collapsed and shot out violently. The two figures were both sent flying backwards.
Guo Hai stood at the edge of the stage. His hands were like claws, grabbing onto the stage. He pulled out a few meter long scratch marks and forcibly stopped himself. He Lianyu's spear stabbed into the stage and also used it to support himself. He stopped at the edge of the stage. There was a three meter long hole in the center of the stage.
Both of their faces were pale and blood flowed out from the corners of their mouths. Their eyes carried a trace of fatigue, but their battle intent was astonishing.
However, the collision of their killing moves caused both of them to suffer heavy injuries. Now, it was time to see who would be the first to collapse.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths …
He Lianyu's expression changed greatly. He could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood and fell backwards. Guo Hai grinned. He had won.
Number three, Chen Zong!
Number four was the Tianwu Academy's Seventh Revolution Realm disciple, named Wu Qing.
However, the battle between the two of them still had to wait for a while. Because the Tianwu Arena had been severely damaged after so many battles, it needed to be repaired first.
After a while, the Tianwu Arena looked brand new.
"Chen Zong, you killed my Tianwu Academy's disciple. It's time to settle this debt," Wu Qing said in a low voice. His eyes were cold and sharp. "But don't worry, I won't kill you. I will only break your limbs as punishment."
"Breaking my limbs? Okay, I'll remember that." Chen Zong nodded and slowly pulled out his sword.
It was a simple conversation, but it made people feel that something extraordinary was going to happen. Everyone was looking forward to this battle.
Wu Qing chuckled and put on his boxing gloves. His figure rushed forward like the wind. His right hand suddenly clenched into a fist. There was the sound of an explosion as he punched out. It was like a long spear piercing towards Chen Zong's shoulder. He wanted to break his shoulder blade with one punch.
