Chapter 107: Second Round, Swords Ascension (3) (1/2)
30 minutes earlier.
”Let's start the second round!”
Xian Bu Yu was currently in good mood.
Thanks to her spoiled cousin, he finally got an opportunity to mess with Feng Xue, the object of his loathing.
Although today was the first time he met with Snowy, just because she had a seemingly quite close relationship with Snowy made Xian Buyun hate her.
He hated the proud and ambitious daughters of heaven like Feng Xue and Snowy the most, their presence made him remember her mother who abandoned him by dying not long after he was born.
People who still remembered his mother once told him that her mother was one of the most talented and devoted swordswomen in her generation.
She had already reached the middle-level Qi Transformation stage and comprehended the sword qi before she reach 20 years old.
It was predicted that if nothing happened to her, she might be able to condense a sword intent and became the esteem Sword Grandmaster under 50 years old.
Unfortunately, she was just a woman. Despite her high talent and potential, she couldn't escape the fate to be married as a sacrifice for her family to be a social climber and hugged the tight of the famous Qian clan.
Unable to forego her dream, his mother was unable to endure the backlash from her dao heart and eventually pass away after birthing Qian Bu Yu.
This made Xian Bu Yu view of women became twisted.
He always looked at women with disdain and rarely put a girl in his eyes. He always believes that no matter talented or powerful the girl was, she will always end up as her family's tool.
This made him always felt superior even if he was facing prominent geniuses like Zi Ling or Feng Xue.
He never considered that he might lose to a woman so he easily made a bet with an outrageous stake as he did with Snowy.
His results in the first round further solidified his confidence.
Though there were other geniuses like Meng Qi, The Qi Twins, and other 4-star talents, he still shone the brightest.
Xian Bu Yu began to move. He stomped his feet, dashing through several stairs in the blink of an eye.
The pressure on the first three stair sets couldn't weigh him down and the sword intent on the first and second gate could only left some superficial wound on his skin.
Other examinees who saw how smooth his progress was looked at him with awe and fear.
This kind of admiration was enough to boost his ego and made him advanced with even faster speed.
In only 10 minutes, Xian Bu Yun already reached the third gate.
In fact, he was the first among the examinees that had successfully climbed until the third gate.
However, the situation began to change for him.
The wound on his body increased significantly. His skin felt like scalped by knives again and again. He could no longer ignore the pain.
Even a genius like him had already felt slightly threatened by the sword intents in the third gate how strong will it be in the fourth gate and above?
When turned around and saw that many examinees' condition was even more wretched than him, his mood was quickly improving.
He looked around to find that he didn't see the girl he had a bet with.
He silently sneered in his heart, 'She didn't even put up a fight. I don't know why I felt uneasy before, it turns out that I just overthinking it. This round will be easy win again.'
He didn't think about it anymore and quickly summon his sword, intending to temper his Sword Qi with the help of sword intents here.
Xian Bu Yu swiftly performed several sword techniques fluently.
Many of his swords techniques were swift, precise, and unpredictable.
Almost all of them had been cultivated to great perfection.
No wonder that his talent in swordsmanship was said to be the best among Qian Family's current generation.
After several moves, Xian Bu Yu felt that he had gained some enlightenment and quickly sat down, assuming a lotus position to comprehend it further.
He ignored the scorching pain in his skin and began to meditate.
He quickly entered zen state, unaware that several minutes later his nightmare will soon begin.
