Chapter 337: Uninvited Guests

Translator: IreneEditor: X/TYZ

Ai Hui was deeply shaken by Karakorum Sword League’s sword formations.

He had broken through the second formation as well. To be exact, it had been destroyed. Nevertheless, Ai Hui was not the least bit complacent. The second sword formation was completely different in style from the first.

The more complicated the sword formation, the mightier it was.

Although they were just grass swords, that feeling of having a blade on his back still caused him to break out a cold sweat. He appeared calm, but inwardly, he felt far from it. The reasoning behind the second formation was entirely different from the first as it used firewind swords.

When it came to the third formation, Ai Hui was already feeling the pressure. He recalled what Qin Xian mentioned earlier, about how some sword formations were created while the chief was playing games when she was young.

When she was young…

Games…

All right then. He got rid of any sense of satisfaction. Yes, this meant that he really was not an immoral character, unlike Fatty.

Ai Hui’s competitive spirit had been triggered.

Being the weakling in other aspects was something that Ai Hui was used to, but not when it came to swordsmanship. He had spent a significant amount of time and effort on training and on searching for functional objects amid the vast, boundless garbage heaps. He would find it difficult to accept if he could not even defeat a game that someone created at a young age.

Entering the third sword formation, Ai Hui was already certain that the Chief of Karakorum Sword League had a more holistic understanding and knowledge of the swordsmanship.

The third sword formation was actually a military-type swordsmanship.

Military-type swordsmanship appeared in the early days of the Cultivation Era, but were quickly replaced by more complex swordplays from swordplay sects. Only with the resurgence of large military units had military-type swordsmanship risen once again.

Military-type swordsmanship was unique in that it involved straightforward moves. Each blow was sharp, murderous, and without any excessive shifts.

With a flip of the sword in his hands, Ai Hui obstructed a sword that came for him from above. The strong impact made his wrist tremble. Before he could take a breather, another sharp presence locked onto him. He spun around abruptly, thrusting the grass sword out at a slight angle.

With a slight tremble, a faint glow appeared on the grass sword.

Clang!

The sound of metal colliding was painful to the ears.

The grass sword rose up and shot backward.

Ai Hui did not cower at all. With a twitch of his sword, he charged toward that recoiling grass sword. His strikes were plain, and after 12 consecutive hits, he struck the tip of that grass sword.

The blade of the recoiling grass sword split like a solid bamboo being forced open.

Crack!

The grass sword broke completely, transforming into chaff that drifted away.

Ai Hui lowered his body and dodged a grass sword that came at him from behind before chasing after it. With a flick of his wrist, a silver glow appeared. A silver sword wheel became entangled with the grass sword in front of it.

Shattering explosions sounded as the grass sword within the silver wheel snapped off inch by inch.

Ai Hui’s desire to win was so strong that he had no idea that those outside the sword formation were already flabbergasted by what they had witnessed.

Stupefied, Qin Xian suddenly turned around to ask his fiance, ”Is he really going to destroy every sword formation?”

Lian Junyu did not even close her eyes for an instant. ”It seems like he does have that intention.”

Suddenly, they both reacted together by turning their heads and making eye contact.

The Karakorum Sword League’s sword formations had been open to public for quite some time now. They had given away many small swords and sold even more. This could be considered as one of the Karakorum Sword League's important sources of income. For the longest time, those who were able to break through three formations were allowed to enter the main institution and become registered teachers.

Break, not destroy.

The best record so far was four formations. Even the chief had mentioned that she might not successfully break through all six if it was her first time trying.

Notice! Break! Not destroy!

Breaking through and destroying were two completely different concepts. To break through meant to find a loophole in the sword formation and escape. To destroy, not only must the challenger find the loophole, he also had to attack the formation in order to shatter it.

Sword formations had many loopholes that could only be broken though.

To destroy… no one had even done that.

Even before the other students and teachers could process this, they were already shaken by Ai Hui’s swordsmanship. All sorts of cries and screams could be heard continuously.

”Oh dear, how did he do that?”

”Did anyone see how many sword moves Ai Hui unleashed? Nine or ten?”

”It’s 12!”

”Too… too crazy. How can anyone in this world do this?”

”I’m starting to see stars!”

Amid all the excitement, a silver sword wheel lit up, bringing the chatter to its highest pitch.

”Silver wheel! Silver wheel!”

”Silverwheel Swordsman!”

Chu Zhaoyang’s nickname was Silverwheel Swordsman, so this silver wheel was naturally his signature move. How could the students not feel moved when they actually got to witness a famous swordsman displaying his signature move?

Ai Hui was unaware of the commotion outside. He was totally in the zone and only had eyes on the grass swords within the sword formation.
