Chapter 320: Intent (1/2)

Du Yuhan walked onto the stage, along with his opponent from a random sect. Du Yuhan still held a sheathed blade in his left hand as he walked to his spot at the other side of the stage.

”Begin,” the referee shouted.

Du Yuhan didn't do anything but stayed there. His opponent on the other hand started using his techniques to send out attacks. The first one was a spiraling ball of metal energy.

The opponent shot it out towards Du Yuhan. However, due to the small size of the energy, he easily dodged it.

Seeing that small attacks didn't work, his opponent sent out a ball of fire instead that was too big to dodge. In response, Du Yuhan swiped his hand in front of him creating an illusory barrier of multicolored lights.

Once the ball of fire landed on the barrier, it suddenly got incredibly smaller which didn't pose any threat to Du Yuhan at all.

”What?” Alex was surprised up in the seating area. ”That's… that's the Heaven's Five Barrier technique. How does he know that too?”

”Does that mean that he…” Alex looked at Wen Cheng with a questioning look.

”Yes, just like you, Yuhan is also a person with 5 Elemental Spiritual roots,” Wen Cheng said. ”So, just like you, he too has learned the Heaven's Five Barrier technique.”

Heaven's Five Barrier technique was a technique that allowed users to create a 5 colored barrier that blocked all attacks, reducing their elements by a certain amount depending on the cultivator's cultivation base.

This was the 2nd defensive technique that Alex had learned in the Tiger sect.

”He has 5 Elemental Spiritual roots and yet he is the 2nd ranking disciple of the sect. That is quite a great feat,” Alex said.

”No, his spiritual root has nothing to do with his success,” Wen Cheng suddenly spoke. ”Once he learned that his Spiritual roots weren't very helpful, he gave up on learning different techniques and started learning the sword. Every achievement he has had until now is due to that sword. His spiritual roots have nothing to do with them.”

”Oh, does that mean… he doesn't use any techniques?” Alex asked.

”He uses a few here and there, but his techniques aren't very strong due to his spiritual roots, so he only uses them when the technique compliments him. Otherwise, he sticks to simply swordsmanship,” Wen Cheng said.

Du Yuhan finally unsheathed his sword and his entire aura changed. He went from a dull person that looked uninterested in the fight to a person that would kill at the slightest movement.

His opponent felt fear like never before.

Du Yuhan took a deep breath and suddenly swung forward. A white slash escaped his sword and flew towards his opponent.

His opponent brought out a metal barrier but before the sword attack could even reach the barrier, another sword attack landed on it from the side destroying it completely.

The opponent looked at the side and saw that the referee had taken out his sword to attack.

The referee looked at Du Yuhan and said ”You win.”
