Chapter 111 – The Rising Reputation (1/2)
Chapter 111 – The Rising Reputation
Of all the famous warriors of Windy Nation, only the leader of North Snow Martial Academy, Xue Wuren had fully sensed blade intent. No one knew if there was someone else that achieved the same. Just like blade intent, sensing sword intent was also extremely hard. At least until now, there had been no one in Windy Nation that had been proven to have learned the sword intent. And among the younger generation, only a few people had the hope to ever learn it. Zhu Mei from the Sky Cloud Martial School was one of them.
However, no one had expected that in an Inner Disciple Ranking Competition, a “nobody” would display sword intent, that every sword artist would be dreaming about. How shocking!
“No, he hasn’t yet achieved the true sword intent, it could only be referred to as half-step sword intent.” In the VIP seats for famous warriors, a man in blue said slowly.
Right next to him, a beautiful young lady in pink seemed to be confused, “Half-step sword intent?”
The man in blue explained, “I once met a sword artist who had achieved sword intent in Rudra Nation. I can still remember his power that allowed him to cut the air itself. After I returned, I swore to myself that I would gain my own style of sword intent one day. However, in the past few years, I had only grasped a little bit of the sword intent. But I did improve my power rapidly.”
The beautiful young lady suddenly thought to herself, “No wonder my husband had improved so fast in such a short period of time, it turns out that it was because he was extremely motivated.” Even though her husband had tried so hard, he still could not even sense the sword intent, and now a sixteen year old boy did it. It had to be said, sometimes a few days of hard work of a genius was equivalent to a few years of hard work of others.
The beautiful young lady was indeed the wife of the owner of Flower Fairy Restaurant in Ancient Spring Water town, “Flower Fairy”. Right next to her, was her husband, “Blue Clouds” sword artist – Shen Lang.
Boooom!
During their chatters, the battle on the platform had gotten very intense.
The sword Qi combined with the half-step sword intent was four meters’ long. It cut open that sword Qi and that horrifying black sword light as if it was a piece of tofu. Then, the remaining sword Qi kept on going, leaving huge terrifying cracks on the ground. Eventually, it went right past Li Kuang and disappeared into thin air.
The next second.
The rock wall in front of the VIP seating started to wobble, it was being chipped.
Li Kuang was completely frozen, he just stood where he was. Just a second ago, he felt that death had gone right by him. If it was not for his opponent who had decided to let him live and purposely changed his attacking angle, that sword Qi could have cut him in half, turning him into a bloody mist leaving no bones behind.
Gag!
Suddenly, a chunk of blood forced its way out of Li Kuang’s mouth. It turned out that although the sword Qi had not even touched him, that half-step sword intent had roiled the Zhen Qi inside of him. After letting out that chunk of blood, he surprisingly felt better.
“Ye Chen wins!” The elder on the side just came back to reality and yelled with a loud voice.
Putting his sword back in his scabbard, Ye Chen turned and walked off the stage.
In the elders’ seats, the head master let out a long breath, “Although it was only half-step sword intent, it is not certain yet that he would actually be able to learn it completely. But, his chances of success are ten times better than others.”
“So young and he has already sensed half-step sword intent, he has endless potential. In the future, he might become one of the top four warriors of our Sky Cloud Martial School.”
“But we will still have to observe him, let’s see how loyal he is.”
“Naturally.”
Ye Tianhao and Shen Yuqing could not be anymore happier than this. The Duanmu family had Young Master Duanmu, and now their Ye family had a genius who sensed half-step sword intent. They could definitely catch up to the Duanmu family in the future, maybe even go beyond them and become the top of the top eight families.
The other people were also full of various thoughts. With today’s battle, Ye Chen was bound to become famous. Within days, his name would be known by everyone in Windy Nation.
Some people were happy for him, some of them were planning on how to get him.
A middle-aged man who wore navy blue robe with a sword scar on his face closed his eyes, murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He thought ‘This guy should be ruined, otherwise once he grows strong enough, the Sky Cloud Martial School would outdo the Purple Sun Martial School and would compete with the North Snow Martial Academy and Emerald Martial Palace directly. He would be extremely dangerous.’
If someone knew his thoughts, they would definitely be surprised as this guy did not even belong to a martial institution. He was only a rogue warrior called Zhu Lieyang, who was already extremely famous a decade ago. Right now, he was at the peak of Early Clasping Yuan Realm.
However, if the leader of the Purple Sun Martial School knew about this, he would certainly not be surprised. Zhu Lieyang had been an intelligence master of the Purple Sun Martial School for a long time, he was especially in charge of collecting all kinds of information around the world. In the meanwhile, he would take care of all the business that the Purple Sun Martial School could not do.
Before, Zhu Lieyang had already killed a lot of martial disciples with great potential so that they would not be a future threat to the Purple Sun Martial School.
