Chapter 78 - Jean vs Ling Jie (1/2)
Today was the 10th day of the Ranking tournament, and Jean's current Schrift is Yourself, the memory one. Jean stood on the top of the Sword Discourse Arena, and soon, Ling Jie slowly made his way.
Ling Jie: Hehe, Boss, good morning.
Ling Jie's voice was not at all loud, but it was loud enough to be heard by Ling Wugou. Just as he was about to announce the names of the two parties and their affiliation, he suddenly heard the way Ling Jie addressed Jean. Both his legs went limp and he nearly kneeled on the floor.
Jean: Heh, so you didn't forget about that bet.
Ling Jie: I, Ling Jie, am a true man. Every word I say carries an enormous amount of weight so there's no way I would go back on a deal. Only cowards would go back on their word.
Jean: Then why didn't you visit me the entire time I was here? Can it be… You don't see me as your boss?
Ling Jie: Err…
Then he spoke in a low voice.
Ling Jie: I… I actually wanted to go, but Big Bro said that it wouldn't look good. It's really not my fault.
And then he quickly changed the topic.
Ling Jie: But Boss, you indeed did not disappoint me. You were just at the True Profound Realm less than 1 year ago, and now you are a Sky Profound Practitioner. How could someone who would make me have no choice but to surrender and become a little brother be any ordinary person?
Ling Jie held out his hand and swiped his spatial ring, bringing out a sword case sculpted entirely in white jade. It was an Earth Profound Weapon, but there was something weird about it...
Ling Jie: There's no way that I will win, so I will use all of my power in this match! And let everyone in the world remember my, Ling Jie's charm!
Jean: Hahahaha! Then come! I'll accept your blade with mine!
He took out the Overlord Colossal Sword before he held it with a single hand.
Jean: Don't worry, I will hold back, but that won't mean it will be an easy fight! Now stab me as much as you want!
Ling Jie's hands softly stroked once and the white jade sword case opened. Along with a flickering orange colored radiance, an entirely golden orange thin sword that was approximately five foot and five inches flew into Ling Jie's hands.
And once the orange sword met the ground, it suddenly released a lingering sword cry and its sword force also quietly filled the air. The sword force was not fierce, nor was it aggressive, but it brought along an incomparably piercing strength.
Spectator 1: What kind of sword force is this! I've never heard of this before… Wait! Orange colored sword, could it be…
Spectator 2: Celestial Yang Sword!!
Spectator 3: Right! It really is indeed the Celestial Yang Sword, one of Heavenly Sword Villa's Sky Profound Divine Swords! It's been said that Ling Yun subdued the Celestial Yuan Sword at the age of seventeen. He is only sixteen, yet had actually subdued the Celestial Yang Sword!
Spectator 4: Heavenly Sword Villa does indeed produce geniuses after geniuses. Ling Yun is already an absolutely stunning genius but I didn't expect that Ling Jie was an even better one! For Ling Yuefeng to have two sons like that, is enough for him to live a comfortable life.
Spectator 5: Yeah, but… It will be useless against Dennell Jean anyway…
Spectator 6: You are right…
Jean could clearly see that the weapon that Ling Jie took out from the Sword Case was a Sky Profound Weapon, which was stronger than the great sword on Jean's hands.
Ling Jie: Hey Big Brother, can you lend me the other blade?
Ling Yun was startled, before he nodded and gave Ling Jie the Celestial Yuan Sword, which was similar to the Celestial Yang Sword, but it was cyan.
Ling Wuhou: Ahem… First match of the Semifinals: Blue Wind Imperial Family's Dennell Jean versus Heavenly Sword Villa's Ling Jie… Match start!
Ling Jie shot against Jean like a star, his swords seemed as if they disappeared, but Jean easily intercepted them with the great sword, with speed never seen before, Jean's arm danced as he wielded the great sword with a mastery that would shock sword masters.
