Chapter 115 One Move“Within a year, could a person"s spirit actually change so much?
“Is it really true that suffering makes people grow?”
The Mansion of the Heaven-fighting Marquis was searched and confiscated. Lin Beichen began as a stupid sc.u.mbag and then started to fight hard, which was why he now vaguely had the appearance of a genius.
This made Ling Wu surprised.
He decided to observe carefully.
Within the arena…
“Everyone, let"s draw lots and decide the order of the fighting.”
Old Man of the Sea took out a bamboo tube that contained more than 20 bamboo sticks with numbers on them.
The young men and women all came forward one after another to pick one.
Lin Beichen picked the number four stick.
There was a total of more than 20 people. They were split into pairs, and would then fight each other. The winner of each pair could continue on to the next fight while the loser would be eliminated.
The sword fight was undoubtedly the most exciting part.
According to the order, the first pair to appear on stage was a little fat man named Ba Dazui and a genius from Ze City name Liu Yanwei.
“Liu Yanwei, please.”
Little fatty w.a.n.g stuffed a piece of dried animal meat in his mouth and displayed his Eating Sword.
The sword"s name was Ambition of the Master.
The ambition of the little fatty was only one word.
Eat.
The Eating Sword"s shape was also extremely strange.
The body of the sword was only as thick as a finger, but it was at least two meters long. The body was also extremely soft. At first glance, it looked like a whip. After looking at it more closely, it was possible to see the subtle scale of the body and the slightly barbed blade, which was shaped like a light-yellow python.
Snakes were gluttonous and often swallowed prey several times their size.
This sword was named Eating Sword and it was certainly worthy of its name.
“Please.”
The sword in Liu Yanwei"s hand was a thin star and moon sword with a black body and a golden blade. It was called Moon Star.
After the two men saluted each other, they attacked at the same time.
They both displayed the Waters Swordplay.
The same kind of sword skill would give people a completely different feeling when comprehended and displayed by different people.
These two men were the most talented young swordsmen in their respective cities. They had very different personalities. In 30 minutes, they had comprehended a lot of the 21 methods of the Waters Swordplay.
However, the winner and the loser were decided very quickly.
The little fat man"s Eating Sword displayed one way of the Waters Swordplay, wrapping his sword around Liu Yanwei"s neck, and winning the fight.
“Hehe, Liu Yanwei went easy on me.”
The little fat man withdrew his sword and eagerly stuffed several pieces of dried fruit into his mouth.
When everyone saw the situation, they were speechless.
He really could not live without food at all.
Lu Feng and Qiong Lin were the next pair.
A confrontation between two geniuses, a man and a woman; the woman, Qiong Lin, ended up with the victory.
Afterward, two more pairs fought.
Song Queyi and Ming Luotian were the winners.
When it came to the fifth group, the proud little boy, Bai Qinyun, went up to fight.
His opponent just happened to be Cao Potian.
This battle had no suspense.
With just his sword, Cao Potian used one move, the Sky and Mountain Rain, and made Bai Qinyun fly 10 meters away before falling to the ground. Blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, as the big sword in his hand flew out and was inserted into the stone pillar next to Lin Beichen.
“He cannot withstand even a single blow.”
Cao Potian lightly laughed, then turned around and left.
The surrounding people were all stunned.
Who knew that the disparity between them was so ma.s.sive?
Bai Qinyun undoubtedly had the weakest cultivation among all the contestants.
However, judging from the move Waters Swordplay earlier, the little man"s swordsmans.h.i.+p was also not weak.
Especially the starting style just now, it definitely had some trick behind it. Just in terms of comprehending the Waters Swordplay, he might not be inferior to Qiong Lin, who won earlier.
However, Cao Potian was even more evil.
As soon as he displayed the Heaven-Slas.h.i.+ng Sword, the sound of a surging tide appeared around his body.
It had only been 30 minutes, yet his comprehension of the Waters Swordplay was already this good.
He was simply evil.
With regards to the five major stages of martial skills training, it was obvious that Cao Potian had reached the second stage of “reaching a higher level”.
This was unbelievable.
In just 30 minutes, he had practiced the two-star sword skill to this level.
If he was given a whole day"s time, wouldn"t he directly reach stage four of “being skillful”?
Such strength in comprehending swordsmans.h.i.+p was extremely terrifying.
Other men and women looked at Cao Potian with a bit of fear in their eyes.
Many elders could not hide their shock.
A satisfied smile appeared on Bai Haiqin"s face.
Cao Potian"s swordsmans.h.i.+p talent could be called devilish, otherwise he would not have tried to s.n.a.t.c.h the young man from Brother Ding and painstakingly train him.
Bai Haiqin even intended to collect a lot of resources to change Cao Potian, stimulate his bloodline, and train him into a true pride of the heavens who would have true unparalleled swordsmans.h.i.+p. It could be said that he had high hopes.
Bai Qinyun did not speak. He wiped the blood away from the corners of his mouth, then returned to his place.
Lin Beichen asked, “Hey, are you okay?”
“I"m fine.” The proud little man raised his snow-white chin and said angrily, “I know what you"re going to say. There"s no need to comfort me. I"m not the kind of person who can"t afford to lose. I"m three years younger than him and started cultivating later. It was normal for me to lose today. I"m still young. After a few years, I will kill him with my bejeweled sword.”
“Oh?
“Ah Q"s spiritual victory method?
“He sure is open-minded.
“However, such an att.i.tude is very good.”
“Haha, Lin, come out. It"s our turn.”
The red-haired, square-faced young man, Xue Yan, couldn"t wait any longer as he jumped into the arena. He waved to Lin Beichen and said, “I can"t wait to see you get destroyed. Hahaha, my spiked sword is already hungry and thirsty.”
Lin Beichen looked at his own three swords.
In the end, he chose the Zhengyi Sword and walked up to the arena.
“Hehe, using a short sword?”
Xue Yan grinned, revealing his snow-white teeth, and said, “I can give you a chance to get your Virtue Sword. Otherwise, this short sword won"t be able to withstand my attack.”
Lin Beichen said, “One move.”
“What?”
Xue Yan was stunned.
Lin Beichen said, “If I can"t defeat you in one move, then I will admit defeat.”
Xue Yan laughed out loud. His expression gradually became fierce as he grinned and said, “Kid, you have infuriated me. I don"t care who you are, but since you dare to be so crazy in front of me, you will die. I will let you know what arrogance is and what is meant by having a very narrow view…”
“Stop talking nonsense.”
Lin Beichen said, “Make your move.”
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d.”
Xue Yan was so furious that one of his red hair roots stood on its end. He attacked using the spiked sword in his hand.
Within the air, the sound of flowing water emerged.
There was even a faint image of the water flowing in the empty air.
The sword"s light even had water floating in it.
“Good,” one of the elders said in admiration.
Xue Yan was worthy of being the number one young genius in Yin City. As soon as he attacked, he completely displayed the most murderous move in the 21 moves of the Waters Swordplay, the Water Flooding the Sky.
Lin Beichen"s spirit was carefree, as he casually stood in the same spot. He was about to be hit by the Water Flooding the Sky.
Right at that moment—
“Whoos.h.!.+”
The Zhengyi Sword in his hand fiercely stabbed out.
It was a very simple move.
It was the first move of the Waters Swordplay.
“Boom!”
It seemed that the sound of the tides of the river and sea had appeared.
“Ting!”
The sound of metal could be heard.
“Pft…”
Xue Yan directly flew out upside down, as the spiked sword in his hand also flew out.
