"Junior Sister Hongling, are you really confident in your eldest apprentice? This is a battle of life and death, and that Ye Chen's martial arts are extraordinary, I'm afraid... Ah~"
On the platform, seeing Xiao Hongling taking her seat, True Master Yuanyi seemed worried.
"Chief Xiao, as long as you agree, we don't need to accept this duel to the death. As for the grievance between Ye Chen and Lin Xiao, as their mentors, we can mediate after he joins the sect."
The Sect Leader with his impeccable demeanor, True Master Ziyun also spoke.
"Tsk, tsk, Sect Leader is underestimating our Junior Sister Hongling with such words. Her personally groomed chief disciple is bound to be an exceptional talent. How could he be scared of an ordinary martial artist?"
"In my opinion, this battle to the death must be fought! Otherwise, in the future, any random uncouth savage would dare to challenge our Qinglan Sect!"
The monkey-faced Chairman of Red Cloud Peak, Daoist Chisong insisted grimly.
As soon as these words were said...
The elders on the side all shook their heads.
At this moment, everyone knew that Chairman Chisong was simply pouring oil on the fire!
He wanted to deliberately embarrass this arrogant "First fairy of the Eastern Region"!
As everyone knows, Chairman Xiao Hongling of Divine Phoenix Peak, who usually travels abroad, rarely meddles in the cultivation of the disciples of her mountain, leaving it mostly to the elders who lecture and supervise.
And this Chief Disciple of Divine Phoenix Peak, whose talent is average, and whose strength is said to be even inferior to several of his junior sisters, dare to provoke!
"Junior Sister Hongling ...are you truly confident in this Lin Xiao?"
On the side, Su Mei glanced with bright eyes, and said coldly.
"Senior Sisters and Brothers, you need not worry. My apprentice, Xiao Hongling, should be invincible and should outshine everyone in this contest!"
Xiao Hongling's eyes glowed as she looked at the figure on the stage, a peerless figure clothed in white.
...
On the stage.
The two youths faced each other from a distance, and tension was in the air!
The battle was about to start!
"Did you know? From the moment you disrespected me last night, you were already a corpse, rotting, and stinking!"
"I have killed my way from the West Desert to the Eastern Region, and those who have offended me have all died unnatural deaths. You wouldn't be an exception!"
"Don't worry, after I kill you, I'll find a way to join Divine Phoenix Peak. Your junior sisters, including your Master, I will take good care of them! Hahaha..."
Ye Chen's mouth curled up in an wicked and twisted smile.
Tsk tsk.
His speech is indeed as vulgar as written in books.
As expected of the maverick protagonist from the ancient times.
Lin Xiao spat and recalled the lines from his book, cursing, "You mongrel! You dared to challenge the Chief Disciple of Divine Phoenix Peak. Today, I'm going to shred you to pieces!"
With that, he pulled out his sword key!
"Clang!"
A dragon-like hissing sound echoed through the valley.
Lin Xiao's eyes were cold. Following his palm's guidance, his Lifebound Spirit Sword "Cloud Dream Marsh" suddenly unsheathed from his Purple Mansion!
"Shit!"
The golden sword flashed through the air and shot towards Ye Chen in the distance, leaving a dazzling trail.
This sword stroke, although seemingly flashy, only contained less than 10% of his Sword Intent!
He only wants Ye Chen to accept the defeat smoothly and bring out his best skills: "Innate Body Breaking Sword Qi"!
"Damn that brat! I painfully transferred the Sword Intent to you last night, and you dare to hold back?!"
From the high platform, Xiao Hongling, who had seen through his intentions, furrowed her brows.
More than the anger of being unable to meet her expectations,
She was even more worried about her disciple getting into trouble!
"Ah, it seems that the Chief Disciple that our Chair Xiao relies on so much is not that great after all."
"Yes, he, with his mere cultivation level of Innate Realm, dares to face a martial artist at the peak of the eighth stage of Martial Arts realm without giving his full strength. He is simply asking for death!"
"Ah, I've heard for a few years now that this Lin Xiao of the Divine Phoenix Peak has inappropriate behavior, is lazy, and his strength is even inferior to his junior sisters."
"Oh? Such a thing could happen? Chief Xiao is a rare genius sword cultivator in the Cultivation World who has been held in high esteem throughout her life. How can she accept such a stubborn person as her disciple?"
"Ah, Chief Xiao's wilfulness is not something new, among her direct disciples, who joined in a formal disciple acceptance ceremony? Aren't all of them her casual picks during her travels?"
"Ah, right now, the chief disciples of Dragon Head, Red Cloud, Tiandang, Fengming, all are geniuses. Only Lin Xiao of Divine Phoenix Peak is useless. The equal strength structure of five branches of our Qinglan Sect seems to be completely broken now...."
At this time, a group of Qinglan Sect elders sitting in the void also shook their heads in disappointment.
Young men and women crowding the square for the spectacle couldn't see what was going on. They were merely looking forward to a brawl between two of their strong peers.
The next second.
A scene that no one expected happened.....
Even!
Lin Xiao hadn't anticipated it himself!
"Ding!"
"You successfully restored the plotline and triggered the Sword Technique Divine Skill: Divine Sword Thunder Control Sword Technique! (Heaven Rank Lower Class)"
.....
"What the hell? You give me a reward at such a time!?"
"I don't want it! Don't come any closer!"
Lin Xiao cried out loudly in his heart.
However, things don't always go as you wish!
Ding!
"Implementing 'Divine Sword Thunder Control Sword Technique' for you!"
With each profound comprehension of the Dao of Swords forcefully entering the depths of his knowledge sea.
Lin Xiao could tangibly feel his Formless Sword Body get stronger!
The Sword Intent casually condensed, was becoming increasingly pure!
Of course, the most terrifying thing was...
The ordinary sword he had just thrust out invoked the special effect of his newly understood Sword Technique!
Boom!
In an instant, the heavens and the earth changed, clouds of the Nine Heavens suddenly descended, and flashes of lightning appear amidst them!
Moreover, with Lin Xiao's sword drawn, thousands of thunderbolts, as if summoned, fell from the Nine Heavens, converging on the tip of his sword!
In a flash, the entire audience was shaken!
Ye Chen turned pale with fear!
"My God! Sword Intent into Thunder! A sword drawing Heavenly Thunder!"
"Eldest Senior Brother is indeed extraordinary!"
"No wonder he was able to see through Ye Chen's true nature early in that future plot!"
At the back of the square, two beautiful young ladies, Guo Yourong, Chu Youwei were filled with countless exclamations in their hearts!
Looking at the extraordinary-figured man, like a god, on the stage...
Their eyes were as bright as the stars, filled with shock, awe, admiration, and other emotions!
....
On the stage.
"Boom!"
As Lin Xiao's sword move exhausted.
Thunder raged around, the wind reversed, sand and stones flew!
The noble Sword Intent naturally exuded by the Formless Sword Body filled the surroundings, instantly devouring and merging Ye Chen's Sword Intent!
At the same time, flowers, grass, trees, flying stones around were all burned to ashes!
Divine Sword Thunder Control Sword Technique!
With a mortal body, incite the vast power of heaven and earth, blot with a divine weapon, summon the thunder of Nine Heavens, unstoppable!
At this moment, even the elders on the high platform, who have lived for hundreds of years, fully aware of worldly affairs, feeling serene as a mountain were taken aback!
"Xiao'er, is this the first Sword Technique you've created using the Formless Sword Body?"
"You... have indeed given me quite a surprise."
Atop the platform.
Xiao Hongling's lips trembled, a stride of her beautiful leg, she stood up excitedly.
Her beautiful wide-open eyes were filled with surprise as she looked at her beloved apprentice whose performance shocked the entire audience!
"Even if there are flaws in the causalities guided by the Heavenly Dao of this world, my Master's judgment is never wrong!"
"My Xiao'er shows promise to be an Emperor! o(*≧▽≦)ツ"
