Chapter 19: Victor’s Purpose
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“You should be glad that you’re a disciple of the Qingyun Sect,” Victor said coldly.
Yang Mu’s body trembled. Thinking of Victor’s swift and violent attack yesterday, his face suddenly became unsightly.
Victor’s meaning was very clear. If he weren’t a disciple of the Qingyun Sect, he would’ve been dead yesterday.
Indeed, from yesterday’s short exchange, it was obvious.
If Victor wanted to kill him, he, Yang Mu, wouldn’t be able to fight back at all.
“Make your move. Don’t worry. For the sake of fairness, I’ll suppress my cultivation level to the second-rate beginner stage like you!”
Taking out a green steel sword from the weapon rack at the edge of the arena, Victor glanced coldly at Yang Mu.
Yang Mu was so angry that his entire body was trembling.
Such words were only said when he looked down on others.
Actually, it was also to attack his opponent’s confidence and make them doubt themselves. If they couldn’t break through this layer of self-doubt, it would be very difficult for them to advance in terms of cultivation.
He didn’t expect that he would be the sufferer this time.
Although, at this moment, Yang Mu was very angry in his heart. However, if Victor suppressed his cultivation and fought with him at a similar cultivation level, this also meant that he had been given a chance.
After being sent flying by Victor’s fierce attack yesterday, Yang Mu had also been injured. He knew that his chances of winning were very small, nearly impossible at that.
However, perhaps he wouldn’t be beaten up as badly as he was yesterday.
As long as he could seize this opportunity and persevere, he might be able to recover his reputation.
At the thought of this, Yang Mu’s nervous heart slowly calmed, even the sword in his hand became more stable.
Similarly, below the stage.
The sharp-eyed disciple noticed that the originally dejected and depressed Yang Mu’s aura was rapidly improving.
The arrogant Yang Mu seemed to have returned at this moment.
Yang Mu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Victor opposite him, cautious and focused.
To him, Victor was an opponent that he had never faced before.
A swordsman does not compete only in sword techniques.
They were competing to see who can first identify their opponent’s flaws during the fight.
However, in the next second, his face turned black and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
This was because he realized that Victor seemed to be standing casually across him, however, his sword’s momentum was so solid that it was like a steel fortress.
He couldn’t find any loopholes.
“Since you don’t have any loopholes now, I’ll make one.”
Having made up his mind, Yang Mu stabbed directly at Victor with his sword.
Continuous stabs!
It was a basic sword move of the Qingyun sword technique. It was very simple and didn’t use any fancy moves.
Victor, who was standing opposite him, sneered and shook his head slightly.
He had relied on the max-level Qingyun Sword technique to be selected by Senior Brother Hua Feng.
And this Yang Mu actually dared to use the Qingyun Sword technique on me. It seemed that he still did not know much about me.
Although Yang Mu’s talent in swordsmanship was indeed not bad, but in Victor’s eyes, Yang Mu’s entire body was full of flaws.
When he saw Yang Mu’s sword tip close to a meter in front of him.
Victor’s wrist shook slightly, easily blocking Yang Mu’s sword move.
The sword tip pierced straight into the latter’s abdomen, scaring Yang Mu so much that he felt a chill down his spine. He moved his body to the side in a disgraceful state.
Because it was too sudden, Yang Mu almost fell to the ground.
Next.
Yang Mu charged a few more times, but the outcome was not much different from his first sword move.
Although there had been a few collisions and not as disastrous as the first move, it was not any better.
Compared to his battle with w.a.n.g Ling, his battle with Victor had made him suffer in every way possible.
Fifteen minutes pa.s.sed.
Yang Mu did not even manage to touch the corner of Victor’s clothes.
On the other hand, Victor’s every move was smooth and natural.
From the beginning to the end, it was elegant and graceful. It did not look like a battle at all, more like a dance.
The disciples below the stage were even more shocked, their mouths agape.
Especially some people who had previously heard how powerful Victor’s sword technique was.
However, the disciples who had never heard or seen it before now had an expression on their faces as if they had seen a ghost.
This wasn’t a sword technique at all. It was simply a feast for the eyes.
They had never seen anyone who could use a basic sword technique so perfectly and so pleasing to the eye.
“This guy is simply a monster!”
On the other side.
On the rooftop on the east side of the arena. The fourth elder, Yu Haoming, who was watching the show, was also in shock.
His eyes were fixed on Victor in the arena as if he had seen something unbelievable.
“There’s actually someone who can train the Qingyun Sword technique to such a level!”
On the stage.
Yang Mu panted heavily, looking dejected as he stared at Victor.
In the beginning, when he heard Victor say that he would control his cultivation level and suppress it to the same level as him, he was delighted for a while.
After all, he was still very confident in his own sword technique.
However, from the start of the fight, he had only learned about what a master in swordsmanship was.
He thought about how he had been so proud and complacent because he had a good sword technique.
Compared to Victor, he felt like a clown at this moment.
On the other side of the ring.
Victor held the green steel sword in his hand, and a hint of boredom appeared in his eyes.
Then, he turned his gaze to the disciples below the ring.
He saw the expressions on the disciples’ faces. They were of surprise, exhilaration, and even admiration.
A satisfied smile appeared on Victor’s face.
This time, he had agreed to Yang Mu’s challenge for several reasons.
Firstly, Yang Mu had almost caused him to go berserk. Although he could not kill Yang Mu in the sect, being able to defeat his opponent’s proudest sword technique under everyone’s watchful eyes would definitely deal a huge blow on him.
Secondly, Yang Mu had won first place in the sect compet.i.tion. He could be considered somewhat famous. As long as he could step over him and defeat him, he would gain fame with just one battle.
In this, the strong were respected.
Especially in the sect, only through displaying his powerful talent could bring him more attention.
He even thought about using this as a springboard to enter the Sect Master Zhang Lingren’s field of vision.
Fourth Elder Yu Haoming’s cultivation talent had already reached the beginner stage of Xuan-grade.
Then what kind of talent would the sect master of the Qingyun sect, Zhang Lingren, have?
This was something that Victor had always wanted to explore.
It was also Victor’s ultimate goal in the Qingyun sect.
Especially the Xuan-grade cultivation talent that he downloaded from Elder Yu.
In terms of cultivation, Victor had thoroughly tasted the sweetness.
During those days, when he occasionally rested, he had been thinking.
What method should he use to get in touch with the sect leader, Zhang Lingren, who had been in secluded cultivation all year round?
Yang Mu’s appearance yesterday had given him a flash of inspiration.
If a sect wanted to prosper, it would definitely need outstanding disciples.
As long as his performance was outstanding enough, he firmly believed that he would definitely be able to attract the attention of the sect leader, Zhang Lingren.
Since that was the case, he had to make good use of such a good stage!
He had figured out what he had to do.
At the next moment, Victor turned his wrist, and the green steel sword drew a beautiful arc and landed steadily on the weapon rack beside the stage.
“What is this guy trying to do?”
Everyone, including Yang Mu, was stunned when they saw this scene. They didn’t understand what Victor was trying to do.
