Yuwen He's victory and Ceng Zhanjun's defeat was within everyone's expectations.
Even so, Yuwen He was still full of smiles. He was quite excited inside. You have to know that he was defeated last year. He thought that this year would be the same as last year because there were a lot of powerful people. He didn't expect that there would be three spots this year, and he finally got one.
It could be said that he had already gotten the right to be a State Knight. It was only a matter of time before he was truly awarded the title. It wouldn't take too long.
Comparatively speaking, Ceng Zhanjun was quite depressed because he was also eliminated last year. After knowing that there were three spots this year, he was extremely motivated. He swore that he would definitely get one. He passed the test, but he didn't expect to be eliminated in the end.
If he missed this chance, the next year's competition would probably return to normal, and it would be even more difficult.
And in a person's life, there were only three chances to compete for the title. Each one was extremely precious, and it would be best if he could get it in one go.
The second battle was between Yuwen Bing and Su Xiaoshui.
Yuwen Bing was just like her name, with a cold expression. What she mainly trained in was not the Yuwen family's palm arts, but blade arts. Just by looking at the curved blade in her hand, one could tell that the blade was bright and cold, as if it was made of ice. It vaguely emitted a shocking cold air.
Su Xiaoshui's background was also not ordinary. She was the daughter of the left prime minister of the dynasty. She trained in the soft sword. With a light shake of her wrist, power passed through the blade, and the soft sword instantly straightened. The sword light rippled out like water, as if it had pierced through the air in front of her.
Without saying a word, Yuwen Bing immediately moved. She waved her curved blade out, tearing through the air as if she was breaking through ice. With extreme coldness and sharpness, she attacked Su Xiaoshui.
Su Xiaoshui's water-blue embroidered shoes lightly tapped on the stage. Under her feet, circles of ripples seemed to spread out. Her entire body became extremely light, and she glided past like water.
With a shake of her wrist, the straight sword seemed like a snake that had its spine pulled out. It then shook again, and like a silk thread, it went around the cold blade light and sliced towards Yuwen Bing's wrist.
Whether it was Yu Wenbing or Su Xiaoshui, they were both incomplete Earth Level Martial Arts. Their saber techniques were known for their icy cold sharpness. Especially Yu Wenbing's internal strength cultivation method, which was a cold cultivation method. When activated, it made her saber techniques even sharper and colder.
Su Xiaoshui's sword created layers of water ripples. They were endless and intertwined with each other, turning the Battle Dragon Platform into a world of water. They were restraining Yu Wenbing invisibly.
Yuwen Bing's curved blade froze the surrounding water ripples, preventing Su Xiaoshui's sword technique from being effective.
Both sides used their full strength to defeat the other.
Fight, fight, fight!
An ice-cold saber technique and a water-like sword technique.
Blade light shot out and sword shadows circled around. Countless sharp sounds of metal clashing could be heard as sparks flew everywhere. The terrifying Qi energy was like a tidal wave.
The sturdy Dragon Fighting Ring was cut open, crisscrossing with each other.
Both of them were at the early stage of five-star, and they were neck and neck. It would not be easy to determine the winner.
"Sky Cold Blade Cut!"
The curved blade turned into countless icy blade lights. The icy blue light was extremely dazzling. Like a peacock spreading its tail, it instantly gathered and turned into a few meters long curved blade light, slashing toward Su Xiaoshui.
"Three Thousand Ripples!" As Su Xiaoshui's body swayed, it seemed as if she had jumped out of the water and started to dance on the surface. Her soft sword danced, creating sword ripples. It seemed gentle, but it also contained the power of a huge wave.
Yu Wenbing's saber focused on the killing power, which was extremely sharp. On the other hand, Su Xiaoshui's sword was endless. Unless there was an absolute power that could break it, the longer the battle went on, the more disadvantageous it would be.
After a while, Yu Wenbing lost by a small margin. Her face turned even colder, as if she could freeze everything in her sight. On the contrary, Su Xiaoshui was full of smiles. She was naturally very happy to receive the title of Country Knight. It came from the bottom of her heart.
"I did not expect Su Xiaoshui to win in the end."
"What a pity, Yu Wenbing was so close to becoming a State Knight."
"It will be difficult next year."
"Next, it's Chen Zong and Jiang Tianmu's turn to fight."
"As expected, Chen Zong will lose for sure."
While the crowd was discussing, Chen Zong and Jiang Tianmu both jumped onto the Dragon Battle Ring.
Jiang Tianmu was the son of the Imperial Tutor. His background was much better than Chen Zong's. Although the Imperial Tutor was a civil official, he had an extraordinary family background. He had been trained in martial arts since he was young, and he had the power of an early five-star warrior.
"I have to say that you are very lucky to be able to finish the test before Prince Ran. However, your luck ends here." Jiang Tianmu put his left hand behind his back and pointed his sword at the ground with his right hand. There seemed to be sword light flickering. "If you don't want to admit defeat, I'll give you a chance to fight. Draw your sword."
Feeling an inexplicable sense of superiority again, Chen Zong couldn't help but shake his head slightly. He didn't feel angry, only helpless.
Then, Chen Zong pulled out his two swords. The sword light slashed through the air like ripples on the water. It was very charming.
Those who knew swordsmanship narrowed their eyes.
It was easy to tell if an expert was skilled or not.
Looking at the way Chen Zong pulled out his swords, one could tell that Chen Zong's swordsmanship was not to be underestimated. Jiang Tianmu was also a swordsman. Facing Chen Zong, he could feel it directly. His eyes narrowed, and the golden light on his sword became more obvious.
"Filling Shadow Sword!" With a low shout, Jiang Tianmu pulled out his sword. Chen Zong's movement made him feel a little threatened. He didn't dare to underestimate Chen Zong, fearing that he would fail miserably.
If he wanted to win, he had to win thoroughly.
With a shake of his hand, his long sword drew a sword light. In an instant, it divided into three, then nine, then twenty-seven, and then eighty-one.
In an instant, there were more than a hundred sword shadows. There were hundreds of them, stabbing toward Chen Zong from the front like a storm. They were so densely packed that there seemed to be no blind spots. Moreover, Chen Zong could feel that the hundreds of sword shadows seemed to be real and had amazing lethality. Moreover, each sword was stabbing toward a part of his body. The hundreds of sword shadows covered every inch of his body.
The Filling Shadow Sword was filled with shadows. They seemed to be scattered and gathered at the same time. It was very mysterious.
Jiang Tianmu used his full strength as soon as he attacked, not giving Chen Zong any chance to escape.
His eyes reflected the hundreds of sword shadows stabbing toward him. The world in front of him was completely filled. Chen Zong felt that he couldn't dodge it no matter where he went.
Chen Zong didn't need to dodge. His eyes flashed, as if he had seen through something. The sword in his left hand spun in a circle, shaking off invisible ripples. Then, the sword in his right hand thrust forward, stabbing out neither slowly nor quickly.
This sword strike looked ordinary, but it was as gentle and elegant as the wind and clouds. It was extraordinary.
Seeing this sword strike, the Purple Dragon King and the other Transcendent Realm masters were all startled, all of them unable to believe their eyes. This sword strike was not something a Force Refining Realm cultivator could display, even many True Martial Realm cultivators were unable to do so.
This was a sword strike that had reached the grand completion stage of Sword Arts.
This was a sword strike that had returned to its original state.
Chen Zong had cultivated and comprehended many Sword Arts. After accumulating time and time again, he had reached the Unity Realm. He had also spent more than half a month studying the Unity Realm. His Sword Arts had already reached an extremely profound level.
Chen Zong didn't use any Sword Arts when he stabbed out, but it seemed to contain the shadows of many Sword Arts.
The sword moved lightly and was good at stabbing. Many Sword Arts contained the mysteries of stabbing. Chen Zong's sword strike contained the mysteries of the stabbing part of many Sword Arts. Just as the others felt, it was a sword strike that had reached the grand completion stage of Sword Arts.
Under this stab, the hundreds of sword shadows that filled the sky surged like bubbles. Then, in a flash, they all collapsed.
Jiang Tianmu was shocked. This scene was completely unexpected. He was a little dazed. However, he had rich combat experience. He reacted instantly and attacked again.
"Earth Shrouding Sword!"
The sword stabbed out diagonally, crossing and parallel to Chen Zong's sword strike. In Chen Zong's eyes, it was as if the Fighting Dragon Ring had been flipped over and the earth had been turned upside down. In terms of momentum, it was several times more terrifying than the Diffusing Shadows Sword.
Chen Zong seemed to raise his head to look. He felt as if his whole body was being shaken and his strength was about to be scattered. However, there was no doubt that the Origin Shattering Force and Pure Yang Qi and blood were powerful. In addition to his own precise control of strength, Chen Zong not only resisted the Earth Shrouding Sword, but also found the flaws in it.
Unity Realm!
Lingwu!
Weapons were alive, so were martial arts. Naturally, they were better than martial arts that were like stagnant water.
No matter what level a martial artist had mastered martial arts, as long as he hadn't comprehended the second level of Body and Martial Arts as One, there would be no qualitative change.
In fact, the Lingwu Realm might not increase the power of martial arts by much. The most important thing was that it would reduce the flaws and become more harmonious. It would also be able to find the flaws in the opponent's martial arts and use them to counterattack.
Another point was the integration of one's own martial arts.
Unity Realm was followed by Lingwu Realm. By integrating one's own martial arts and extracting the essence of them, every move and style might seem ordinary, but it actually contained many mysteries. It directly broke away from the original shackles and became more compatible with one's own body. Chen Zong felt that this point was more comprehensive and brilliant than the Realm of Truth.
The sword that he stabbed out suddenly turned and slashed downwards. The tip of the sword sank slightly, as if he had condensed all his strength into it. It still looked ordinary, but it contained the mysteries of slashing and slicing of various sword techniques. It was extremely powerful.
This sword broke Jiang Tianmu's Earth Shrouding Sword, which made Jiang Tianmu feel even more incredulous. He changed his sword technique again.
"Heaven Shrouding Sword!"
As the sword rose, sword light shot out, as if it had turned into a heavenly suppression. The wind rose and the clouds surged, and the whistling sound was so intense that it made people dizzy.
Chen Zong's sword suddenly flicked upwards, as if it could lift Cang Mountain and Tai Mountain.
Every martial art had its flaws. The more advanced it was, the fewer flaws there would be.
Jiang Tianmu was very strong, but unfortunately, he hadn't comprehended Body and Martial Arts as One. Compared to Chen Zong, this was a disadvantage.
Chen Zong's combat strength was barely at the beginner five-star level. He wasn't as strong as Jiang Tianmu, but the huge gap between their martial arts realms was enough to make up for it.
