Chen Chang Sheng's speed was indeed fast, his fist was indeed straight.
Logically speaking, his fist would definitely have missed, unable to hit Huo Guang who was floating through the air using the graceful Cloud Stride Technique.
His fist had indeed missed, upon landing in the air, it let out a buzzing sound, akin to an ancient bell being rung.
The air that couldn't bear any force, seemed to have been broken by this fist.
Yet, his fist didn't stop there, it continued to advance.
Within the air that had been broken, a passageway seemed to have appeared, that passageway couldn't be seen with the naked eye, but it gave off a feeling that it was real.
The personages within the Hall of Zhao Wen, upon seeing the scene on the mirror, could also feel the existence of that passageway.
That passageway had been pierced through by Chen Chang Sheng's fist, but it wasn't straight, rather it was an arc, the front end slightly curved upwards.
This formless line was very smooth, very beautiful, it had a natural beauty to it.
How could a perfectly straight fist create a curved passageway in the air?
There could only be one explanation, that was, at the last moment, his fist's manifestation had changed its direction.
What fist style in this world could achieve this?
Huo Guang floated towards the sky.
Chen Chang Sheng's fist followed that formless curve, heading towards the sky.
… …
… …
"A Sword That Burns the Heavens!"
Xue Xing Chuan's exclamation resounded within the Hall of Zhao Wen.
Indeed, there was no fist style that could change the direction of a fist's manifestation at the last moment.
The personages within the Hall of Zhao Wen were all experienced and knowledgeable people, they were certain that there definitely wasn't such a thing.
But there were sword styles that could achieve this, changing the direction of the sword manifestation at the last moment of the move.
Previously, the personages within the Hall of Zhao Wen had silently counted in their hearts, there were approximately three techniques in this world that could achieve this, one of them being this sword style.
Li Shan Sword Style's Burning Heaven Sword!
Within the Hall of Zhao Wen, the sound of chairs rubbing against the ground could be heard.
The personages stood up in shock, looking at the youth on the mirror who was currently clenching his fist and thrusting it towards the sky, they were indescribably shocked.
How could a student of Orthodox Academy learn the secret sword style of Li Shan Sword Style?
… …
… …
It was rumored that the Burning Heaven Sword of the Mount Li Sword Style was a secret sword technique created by the legendary Mount Li Junior Martial Uncle. It was never shown to anyone until several hundred years ago, when he traveled the four seas and returned to Mount Li. Only then, under the bitter pleas of the current Sect Master, did he record this sword technique into the Mount Li Sword Style.
This sword move was very famous, but very few people learned it because this sword move was too difficult to learn, and it had a high requirement on the degree of condensing one's Divine Sense.
In this generation of Li Shan Sword Sect disciples, it was said that only Qiushan Jun and Gou Han Shi had learned this move.
Now, this sword technique appeared in Chen Chang Sheng's hands.
Instead of using a sword, he used his fists.
The sword that burned the sky naturally became a fist that exploded the sky.
Between his fist and the dark blue sky was Huo Guang.
Thus, before his fist could shatter the dark blue sky, it would first land on Huo Guang's body.
There was a muffled boom.
It was the sound of a fist coming into contact with a body.
Chen Chang Sheng's fist, landed on Huo Guang's chest.
Concise, precise, and powerful.
There was a second muffled boom.
That was the sound of a body colliding with the air.
Huo Guang's body suddenly left the ground, flying towards the sky, after a moment, it became a small black shadow.
… …
… …
Outside of the tower, the examinees were gathered before the stone steps, awaiting the result of this match.
At this moment, they heard two consecutive booms.
Due to the tower's soundproofing array, they hadn't heard any sound before, it wasn't like Tang Thirty-Six and Liang Ban Hu's match, where they were able to see the projection of sword intent in the dark blue sky, they couldn't help but look down on Huo Guang and Chen Chang Sheng, who were participating in this match.
Until these two thunderous booms suddenly resounded, as if exploding right next to their ears.
The examinees were incomparably shocked, following the booms and whizzing sounds of the air being torn apart, their gazes shifted upwards, seeing the figure that was flying towards the sky.
The arena was deathly silent, many of the examinees had their mouths agape, but no one said anything.
They could only watch as the figure flew to an extremely high place, before descending once again.
After a moment, a slight tremor could be felt from the ground.
The examinees lowered their heads to look at their feet, then raised their heads to look at the tower, they were shocked to the point of being speechless, feeling as if their hearts were trembling along with it.
That tremor, was that person's landing on the ground?
Most of the examinees didn't clearly see who the figure that had been sent flying into the sky was, but for some reason, everyone subconsciously felt that it couldn't be Chen Chang Sheng.
… …
… …
Within the Tower of Purging Dust.
Chen Chang Sheng's right foot was in front, left foot was behind, like a bow.
His right arm was slightly bent, his fist raised towards the sky, like a torch.
Huo Guang had been sent flying.
He retracted his fist, then retracted his right foot, straightened his body and gazed towards the sky.
His gaze moved upwards, then downwards, following the figure back into the tower.
A muffled sound resounded, dust rose up and the ground slightly trembled.
The dust slowly settled, Huo Guang had fallen to the ground, continuously spitting out blood, it was unknown how many of his bones had been broken.
From the moment he had left the ground, the examiners from the second floor had rushed down, making preparations to save him.
The clergywomen of the Thirteen Divisions of Radiant Green continuously sprinkled clear light, helping to staunch his bleeding, ensuring that his life was in no danger, only then would he be transferred to Li Palace.
Lying on the ground that was covered in yellow sand, looking at the dark blue sky, Huo Guang's expression was one of pain, his eyes were filled with unwillingness and anger, but at most, confusion.
He didn't understand, why did he lose this match.
It must be known that before entering the Capital, he had already known who his opponent was.
If Chen Chang Sheng couldn't even pass the Martial Trial, then he naturally couldn't participate in the duelling, if he couldn't even pass the first round of the duelling, then he naturally wouldn't have met him. All he knew was, as long as Chen Chang Sheng entered the second round, then he would be his opponent, he would become a mountain that Chen Chang Sheng couldn't surmount, thus at this moment, history would be corrected, the confluence of the North and South would once again return to the right path …
However, he was currently lying on the ground, his injuries were too heavy, he couldn't move, he couldn't even do something as simple as turning his neck.
He wanted to say something to Chen Chang Sheng, but he couldn't look at Chen Chang Sheng, nor could he say anything, he could only look at the dark blue sky.
The sky within the Education Palace was much lower than the sky outside, he had previously thought that he would be able to touch that patch of sky.
Just like how he had thought before entering the tower, he could easily defeat Chen Chang Sheng.
But in reality, the sky was untouchable.
He also couldn't defeat Chen Chang Sheng.
Why?
… …
… …
Chen Chang Sheng could imagine how complex Huo Guang and the personages behind Huo Guang were feeling at this moment, how many thoughts they had, but he didn't think about it. Because other people's thoughts had nothing to do with him, whether or not other people's arsenic was his honey, it had nothing to do with him, he would never waste his time on such pointless matters.
He didn't look at Huo Guang, who was lying on the ground, he bowed towards the Li Palace clergyman that was hosting the duelling match, then walked out of the tower.
The clergyman was from the Education Board, looking at the youth's back, he nodded his head in praise.
From entering the tower to leaving, Chen Chang Sheng hadn't said a single word.
Before the duelling began, Huo Guang had said that he wouldn't use words to humiliate him, because that would be senseless and uninteresting, he would simply defeat him.
Chen Chang Sheng had used reality to tell his opponent that speaking was a senseless and uninteresting matter, he had come to battle, not to chat, not to mention that they weren't familiar, they didn't even know each other.
Similarly, before the duelling had begun, Huo Guang had arrogantly told him that if he didn't draw his sword, he wouldn't have the chance to do so again.
Chen Chang Sheng had used reality to prove that the person who truly needed to draw his sword, was actually Huo Guang himself.
… …
… …
The Hall of Zhao Wen once again returned to silence.
It took a long time for the crowd to suppress the shock within their hearts.
Mo Yu looked at the empty sandy ground within the mirror, the corners of her lips slightly twitched, as if she wanted to smile, but in the end, she still maintained her cold demeanor.
Xue Xing Chuan looked towards His Eminence, Archbishop Mei Li Sha, he had a lot of questions regarding the level that Chen Chang Sheng had displayed.
It was only at this moment that the crowd noticed, His Eminence had unknowingly closed his eyes, as if he had once again fallen asleep.
Only, the wrinkles on his face had smoothened out by a great deal.
The old age spots that had originally been rather eye-catching, had also lightened by a great deal.
On his face, there was a faint hint of a smile.
