Chapter 314 - There’s No Need to Draw the Sword Out—It Has a Spiri (1/2)
t
Clash Clash Clash!
The broadsword was drawn thirty inches out from the ground by the One-Armed Martial Spirit!
“The Heavy Sword with a Sharp Edge, the huge sword with a Spirit, I’ve managed to pull you twenty eight inches out from the ground last year, and after spending a year cultivating in seclusion in order to discover the secrets of my Martial Spirit, you can now reveal your true appearance to the world and become the sharp edge in my hand, keeping me company in the upcoming battles!”
Leng Aotian uttered a roar once again, as his will burst out from his body and penetrated the broadsword.
BANG!
Another explosion was heard.
It was as if the broadsword was being summoned, allowing it to be pulled another ten inches out from the ground, resulting in a total of forty inches!
The place fall into silence, as everyone stared in disbelief. After a period of ten breaths’ time, a shocking cheer took place among the crowd.
“Forty inches!”
“My god, he managed to pull the sword forty inches out from the ground!”
“Is there anyone who managed to pull the sword forty inches out from the ground in the past? I don’t think so!”
“……”
The geniuses, the rogue cultivators of Jianghuang City, and the authorities were utterly astounded.
The famous Heavy Sword with a Sharp Edge; countless geniuses had competed with each other judged on the distance one could draw the sword out from the ground. One who managed to achieve thirty inches was worthy to be considered peerless, while forty inches right here was enough to conquer all those in history!
“Nice!”
JIanghuang rose from his seats as his face turned red due to excitement.
“HAHAHA.” The envoy of the Feiyang Sacred Area burst out laughing, “Leng Aotian, an impressive performance. As expected, you did not let me down. However, don’t be too excited for now, as the envoy of the Qinglong Sacred Area has also selected a genius with the name Qin Nan. He will be your opponent this time, and shall compete with you in the trial!”
The crowd wore a blank expression after hearing the words.
“Qin Nan? Isn’t this guy the one who passed the first two rounds by abusing his relationship?”
“Is he going to compete with Leng Aotian?”
“Hehe, Leng Aotian possesses the real strength, but Qin Nan only possesses a formidable background; it’s not me looking down on him, but he would surely lose!”
“……”
The geniuses uttered harsh words against Qin Nan, as they were never fond of him since the start of the trial.
“Oh?”
Leng Aotian stared at Qin Nan while placing his hands on his back, before he said with a prideful smile, “Qin Nan is it? Feel free to compete with me; I will still come first in this round of sword drawing!”
He was not being disdainful toward Qin Nan; instead, the fact that Qin Nan dared to challenge him resulted in excitement growing in his heart.
The reason being that he was completely smashed last year while competing against the genius, causing him to greatly lose his reputation, filling his heart with shame. Therefore, he ended up spending a year cultivating in seclusion so he could shine brightly in the selection this year, shocking the entire crowd.
As a result, he hoped that there would be more people challenging him, and if he ended up defeating them all, he would be able to cleanse his shame with the winning streak.
Fang Jian’s lips twitched even more vigorously after seeing Leng Aotian’s expression, as he uttered a few sighs in his heart.
On the other hand, Jianghuang frowned his eyebrows. He was quite joyful after seeing Leng Aotian’s performance, and he assumed that it would be a difficult task to surpass his achievement. Thus, he immediately transmitted his voice to Qin Nan, “Qin Nan, the trial this time is quite difficult for you. If you choose not to participate, I’ll try my best to resolve the conflict.”
Jianghuang sincerely admired Qin Nan, thus he did not wish to see him suffering a great shock if he were to be defeated here.
Every genius would be somewhat confident in their capabilities. Once defeated, some geniuses might not be able to accept the truth easily. For example, after Leng Aotian lost, he immediately forfeited the selection and went into seclusion for a year, just to regain the glory he seeked for.
Qin Nan gave Jianghuang a glance without saying anything, before he glanced at Leng Aotian and let out a laugh, “Brother Aotian, pleased to meet you!”
After saying this, his figure landed at the broadsword with a flicker.
At that instant, the crowd gathered their attention onto his figure while holding their breaths.
