The Demon Cultivator of the Sword

Chapter 26 Mo Yan
After them came the many core disciples of the Feitian Demon Sect, among whom the two leaders were the most conspicuous, namely the stern-looking eldest disciple Mo Yan, and the extremely beautiful Murong Qingcheng in purple.

The two of them have reached the Bao Yuan realm, and Mo Yan has even reached the peak of the early Bao Yuan realm.

Compared with them, the so-called ten inner disciples and other core disciples undoubtedly pale in comparison.

After everyone from the Feitian Demon Sect took their seats, the Black Crow Taoist in the outer sect elders' seat clasped his fists and saluted Mo Tianxing in the sect chairman's seat. Mo Tianxing waved his hand casually. The Black Crow Taoist flew onto the central platform, cleared his throat, and said loudly:

"This preliminaries will be the same as in the past. We will be divided into ten groups and the competition will be randomly drawn. The two people drawn will go on stage to compete. A win will earn one point, a draw or a loss will earn no points. The top ten people in the group will advance to the official competition. Without further ado, the preliminaries will officially begin."

After saying this, Taoist Black Crow looked at his disciples including Wu Liangyu, and finally looked at Gu Yuan.

Like Wu Liangyu and the others, Gu Yuan nodded to him respectfully. Taoist Black Crow returned to the elders' seat with satisfaction. With him were seven or eight outer sect elders, including Elder Li.

As for the inner sect elders, core elders, and the leader of the Feitian Demon Sect who had reached the Spiritual Sea Realm, they only cared about the core disciples. As for the inner sect disciples, unless there was a brilliant genius, they would not pay too much attention to them.

Next to the platform, the deacons have already started drawing lots one by one.

"Group one, number five versus number ten!"

"Group two, number seven versus number thirty!"

Upon hearing this, everyone stepped onto their respective group platforms and started fighting with their opponents.

Coincidentally, Gu Yuan was the first to come on stage.

“How come you’re only at the peak of the middle stage of the Condensation Realm? You’re too weak.” Gu Yuan’s opponent was a round-faced young man whose cultivation had reached the late stage of the Condensation Realm. He held the same Red Flame Sword as Gu Yuan, with flames swirling on the sword’s edge. It looked like he was practicing the Eclipse Sword Technique just like Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan didn't say anything. As the saying goes, enemies always meet. Who is stronger and who is weaker will naturally become clear after the competition.

"White Sun Dawn, defeat me!"

The round-faced young man rushed forward suddenly, and the hard stone under his feet suddenly cracked. Then he changed from holding the sword in one hand to holding the sword with both hands, drew a red sword light in the void, and slashed directly towards Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan shook his head. The opponent's Eclipse Sword Technique was just a fancy move and had nothing to do with artistic conception. He then drew his sword with his right hand and swung it casually. It was also White Sun Dawn, but Gu Yuan brought out the artistic conception contained in it to the fullest.

Just like the morning sun, the light was warm and could easily knock away the opponent's sword.

call!
The two men were less than one meter apart, but the round-faced young man did not dare to move forward because Gu Yuan's sword was already on his neck.

He said aggrievedly: "I, I give up."

Gu Yuan sheathed his sword, turned around and walked down the platform.

At the elders' table, Taoist Black Crow saw this scene and smiled, "It seems that this little guy has made more progress than I thought. Liang Yu may meet his match this time."

Elder Li, who had presided over the trial at the mass grave, was a little surprised and said, "No way, Black Crow, I admit that the Ancient Origin Sword Technique is good, and the Eclipse Sword Technique just now also contains a very deep artistic conception, but your disciple is only one step away from the Bao Yuan Realm, and he has also practiced the high-level Earth-level technique Black Crow Great Method. No matter how talented he is, he is only a peak warrior in the middle stage of the Condensation Realm."

"I sense in him qualities that only a swordsman can possess."

But the next words of Taoist Black Crow made the outer sect elders, including Elder Li, look at him sideways, because in their eyes, only those who have comprehended the sword intent can be called a swordsman.

At the main VIP seat, Mo Tianxing, who was a powerful person in the Spiritual Sea Realm, naturally noticed the difference in Gu Yuan and said with some surprise, "This little guy is interesting. He can comprehend the artistic conception to this extent at the level of Condensing Truth Realm. It is quite rare." The Inner Sect Great Elder next to him quickly found Gu Yuan's information and said respectfully, "Sect Master, this boy is called Gu Yuan. He just entered the sect last year. Although he was only at the sixth level of the Qi Training Realm when he entered, his training speed was amazing. He was promoted to an Inner Sect disciple in just seven months, and he has trained all the martial arts he has mastered to the highest level. He is only fourteen years old now, and his talent is outstanding."

Mo Tianxing nodded, "Well, if there is no problem with loyalty, it is worth the sect's efforts to cultivate him."

Murong Qingcheng, who was sitting behind the great elder, was quite surprised at Gu Yuan's talent when she heard what they said. Then she recalled that she seemed to have seen him in the Spiritual Hall a year ago, and she couldn't help but look at him more.

Mo Yan, who was standing by, saw that the woman he loved was actually focusing on an inner sect disciple who was only at the peak of the middle stage of the Condensation Realm. He instinctively felt a sense of crisis and asked tentatively, "What's wrong, Junior Sister? Do you know him?"

"I don't know him." Murong Qingcheng replied calmly, and her face regained its calm expression.

Hearing this, Mo Yan felt slightly happy, because Murong Qingcheng would not bother to lie about such things.

However, he still activated the Tongtian Demon Eye to observe Gu Yuan. It would have been better if he hadn't observed it. Once he observed it, he was almost scared.

It’s not that Gu Yuan’s aura is very strong. On the contrary, Gu Yuan’s current strength is not worth mentioning in his eyes.

What really surprised him was Gu Yuan's level of martial arts, the eighth level of the intermediate earth-level martial arts.

According to the conversation between the Great Elder and the sect just now, it seems that the other party has been an inner disciple for less than a year.

With the cultivation level of Condensation Realm, he knew that he couldn't cultivate the intermediate earth-level technique to the eighth level in less than a year.

Then, he thought of the two top-level earth-level skills of the Feitian Demon Sect that he was practicing, and his confidence was restored.

So what if this kid is very talented?

The level of martial arts is a gap that can never be crossed.

Even if the other party one day obtains the qualifications to practice the top-level earth-level skills.

But by then, he had already entered a higher realm.

Since the ten inner disciples would not play in the first five rounds, Gu Yuan easily defeated his opponents in the second, third, and fifth rounds. Basically, no one could make him use the second sword, not even the top thirty inner disciples, and his points reached ten points.

Lin Yang lost one game in five rounds and accumulated eight points.

After five rounds of competition, Taoist Black Crow announced a half-hour break to allow everyone to recover their energy and strength.

Half an hour later, the game continued.

Unlike the first five rounds, seeded players will also join in the last five rounds. If you don’t meet them, you’re lucky. If you do, you can only go ahead or admit defeat.
