Free Web NovelLi Mo was seriously recalling the teachings of his Ice Cube teacher, and also intently watching the practical demonstration Xie Xuan was giving him, completely oblivious to the outside world.
He was diligently communicating with the Sword Rhyme within the Celestial Human Divine Sword.
Perhaps the world in his eyes was different from that of Ice Cube and the others; he could only sense faint and blurry fluctuations of Sword Rhyme.
Every sword technique, which he had practiced and reached Minor Achievement in, now sent him a response.
“Not enough... a little more...” Li Mo continued in this manner, connecting with the Sword Rhyme while searching for an opportunity to strike.
On ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) the other side, listening to the Purple-Robed Eunuch’s incessant chatter, Xie Xuan, who had been unable to break through for a long time, was starting to lose his composure:
“Stop reading! This is a total scam!”
Xie Xuan’s spirit revealed a flaw.
“Good opportunity!”
Li Mo’s eyes suddenly snapped open.
Buzz—
The Celestial Human Divine Sword, this aloof God Sword, finally responded to him with a faint resonance.
A bright sword shadow burst forth from his Yi Soul, just like the swords of the ordinary heroes he had learned, straightforward and swift in seeking revenge.
“Not good!”
Xie Xuan’s body trembled; he hadn't expected Li Mo’s counterattack to come so perfectly, so unexpectedly.
The straightforward Sword of Delight instantly tore through the spiritual sword net he had woven. freewebnøvel.com
By the time he reacted and quickly raised his Ancestral Master Wooden Sword to parry the attack, his brain felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer, and his eyes went black.
Xie Xuan staggered backward, propping himself up with his sword and kneeling on one knee. freёweɓnovel.com
That sword had, after all, struck his Yi Soul.
He didn't possess Li Mo’s abnormal Yi Soul strength, and a suffocating sensation rose in his chest.
“You truly comprehended three layers of the Sword Rhyme within the Celestial Human Divine Sword; I didn't believe it before.”
Xie Xuan shook his head, cupped his hands, and said, “I lost.”
Li Mo smiled and reminded him, “You just lost the initiative in a spiritual confrontation. If you were to draw your sword again, who knows who would win. Why concede already?”
“Didn’t you also not use your hammer? You won a move against me with your sword, so you should be considered the winner.”
Xie Xuan was quite straightforward.
The arena fell silent for a moment.
“That kid’s mental sword just now, Xie Xuan couldn’t block it. Did he really win?!”
Du Wufeng’s eyes widened, and he leaned back slightly.
Winning against Xie Xuan was different from winning against others.
On the Qianlong Ranking, Xie Xuan was still openly the number one swordsman of the new generation. If Li Mo won against him, would this kid not become even more fond of the Dao of the sword in the future?
“Who told you to blindly give that book to Eunuch Chen to read.”
Xie Yiding said in a huff; if Xie Xuan hadn’t been so engrossed in the storytelling that he lost his composure, he wouldn’t have been caught off guard.
“I was foolish!”
Du Wufeng slapped his thigh.
“Alas, his temperament is reckless; one can’t blame others.”
Xie Yiding looked at his adopted son and silently sighed.
“Ah? He won just like that?”
“What happened? I didn’t see them fight!”
The onlookers, both the Dijin commoners and most Martial Artists, were bewildered. They hadn't even seen an exciting fight; after listening to a storyteller, Xie Xuan suddenly staggered back and then conceded.
“Xie Xuan lost a move in the spiritual confrontation, that’s why he conceded.”
“His sword skills were taught by Han Xianzi, right?”
“Otherwise, what?!”
“Hiss... Han Xianzi’s martial arts prowess is so terrifying that the person she teaches can win a move against Xie Xuan in swordsmanship.”
“Wang Qi Dou Hun, I didn’t understand where that nickname came from before, but now I’m starting to get a clue.”
“Han Xianzi’s beauty can make the Baihua List’s top spot pale in comparison, and her martial Dao is so astonishingly brilliant. What does she see in Li Mo? Is it his Wang Qi Dou Hun?”
Damn it.
Little Li Swordsman sighed, never expecting that he hadn’t used his hammer, but who made him not draw his sword just now?
“Li Mo, you’ve learned very well.”
Ying Bing’s expression was that of a sacred Ice Cube teacher:
“But Xie Xuan did not go all out. To secure a spot in the top three, you cannot be complacent and must continue to work hard.”
“Even for planting strawberries?”
Li Mo had learned more than just swordsmanship during this period.
He wasn’t stupid; he had already realized that Ice Cube seemed to want to teach him something beyond the Dao of the sword... “This one is already... good enough.”
Ying Bing’s speed in rubbing the boy with a large head’s head increased slightly.
As dusk fell.
Today’s Qianlong Assembly saw multiple rounds of competition, determining the winners’ bracket and losers’ bracket, with twenty-five people in each, and fifty people completely eliminated.
Overall, those who entered the winners’ bracket were generally among the top fifty Dragons of Hidden Potential, with very few upsets.
This showed that Yantian Sect’s rankings were quite accurate.
The few dark horses who defeated higher-ranked individuals were also familiar faces... Huang Donglai comprehended poison as his Divine Intention, and those who fought him, even if stronger, couldn’t catch up to him.
So, you would often see scenes in the arena where... he fled, he pursued! He fled with ease, he pursued, foaming at the mouth!
Three battles, three victories!
However, he wasn’t the most eccentric.
Murong Xiao had, at some point, learned the Buddhist Lion’s Roar. Although not yet profound enough to cause injury with sound waves, his voice was certainly loud enough.
So, you would see him in the arena.
The bald monk would sit there, spewing flowery words and eloquent speech, causing his opponent to quickly overheat, launch a full-power attack, and then strike themselves.
The monks from Hanging Temple below the stage were mortified, almost wanting to leave, and didn’t even have the courage to admit that the winner was their Disciple.
Two victories, one draw!
Xiao Qin was the most normal one; he encountered strong enemies, and every battle was exhilarating.
One victory, one defeat, one draw.
Of course, what Li Mo watched most intently were the Dragons of Hidden Potential who possessed God Swords.
If he used a sword, he would undoubtedly have to endure bitter battles... “Jiang Yu is on stage.”
Ying Bing reminded him softly.
Li Mo focused his gaze.
Boom—
The Golden Dragon Containing God Sword, the Divine Intention that suppressed the Di City universe, once released, a tremendous sense of oppression surged like a tide.
It seemed that the entire Dijin resonated faintly because of it.
Even among the onlookers, even those in the Fourth Realm Inner Scenery, felt a torrential pressure, making them breathless.
“He hasn’t even used the Eight Wildernesses Six Harmonies Seal, and he’s already this strong?”
Although he hadn’t advanced in Realm, he was several tenths stronger than last time!
Li Mo frowned.
Was it because... he was in Dijin?
