I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Chapter 228 Champion Zhang Shan!

Thousands of spectators were looking at Yao Tianchuan on the stage, and then following his gaze to look at the disciples of Yunshan Sword Sect on the Wangjiang Tower. Their eyes moved back and forth, revealing a lot of anticipation.

Sure enough, the field was quiet for a moment, and then Yao Tianchuan said loudly:
"Yao Tianchuan, a disciple of Hidden Sword Pavilion and the Yao Clan of Jinling, would like to ask for guidance from colleagues of the Yunshan Sword Sect!"

His cold voice penetrated the autumn wind by the river and reached everyone's ears.

coming!

Everyone suddenly became excited.

This Yao Tianchuan actually specifically challenged the Yunshan Sword Sect!
Originally, this Little Hidden Dragon Club would draw lots, and in the end, they would always run into strong opponents;

However, Yao Tianchuan obviously couldn't wait any longer and challenged directly on the stage without even having to go down to rest!
The spectators who were eager to watch the fun were whispering to each other, all looking forward to this match.

Before Yao Tianchuan appeared, the performances of two senior disciples of Yunshan Sword Sect were very eye-catching;

But after Yao Tianchuan came on stage, many people believed that there was undoubtedly a new candidate to be the strongest person in the first level of Qi and Blood Transformation.

Many people suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the Yao family gave a place in Jianzhen Lake to Yibianjing. It turned out that Yao Tianchuan was hiding something and was very confident about it. He could make a name for himself by doing it with his left hand.

But as soon as Yao Tianchuan arrived, he challenged the disciples of the Sword Sect face to face. He was not afraid of consuming too much energy and being defeated by others later?
Or is he so confident that he doesn't even take the people from Yunshan Sword Sect seriously!
"Does Yao Tianchuan have a grudge against Yunshan Sword Sect? Isn't this irrational? Or does he just want to take the lead by being invincible?"

"I heard it, I heard it. Last year, when the Hidden Sword Pavilion held a sword contest on Yunshan Mountain, Yao Tianchuan lost badly and was haunted by inner demons. For a long time, he even dared not practice sword. Later, he sought medical advice and divination, and finally recovered."

"Real or false? How do you know?"

"My great-uncle's third daughter-in-law's eldest sister-in-law is a witch. She was invited to the Yao Mansion to cast a spell to remove the inner demons. With such a close relationship, how could I not know about it!"

"Really? My second uncle's cousin's daughter's brother-in-law is a guard at the Yao residence. I asked her to go and ask if it's true."

"…Don't, don't ask."

"Haha, you've even spread rumors to the Yao family, and you're not afraid of death!"

"But I've also heard that Yao Tianchuan suffered a great loss in Yunshan. I'm afraid it's not groundless. Judging from his appearance, he wants to avenge his previous humiliation!"

"Maybe I can take this opportunity to restore some of Yao Yilong's lost reputation... I can't beat a master at the Qi and Blood Transformation Realm, haha."

"No matter what, Yao Tianchuan is not shouting nonsense. He is well prepared. I'm afraid the Yunshan Sword Sect should be careful."

There was a flurry of discussion from the audience, which merged into waves of sound. It was obvious that everyone was looking forward to this fierce battle.

However, after seeing and comparing the performance before and after, and seeing that Yao Tianchuan was so confident, many people were not optimistic about the Yunshan Sword Sect.

On the third floor.

Xie Yuan and his companions had become the focus of attention of everyone upstairs and downstairs. Qin Zhenyang frowned slightly and thought to himself:
"This Yao Tianchuan is quite powerful, and is only half a step away from the second level of Qi and Blood Transformation. I'm afraid Junior Brother Huang is no match for him."

Losing is nothing, the Yunshan Sword Sect can always afford to lose.

But judging from Yao Tianchuan's appearance, it was obvious that he had no good intentions.

Ning Zi snorted coldly and gritted her teeth:
"This kid is still so arrogant? Junior Brother Huang..."

She wanted to teach her opponent a lesson, but she opened her mouth and just said:

"You do your best, be careful!"

To be honest, last year Yao Tianchuan was invincible in the first realm in the sword fight between the two sects, and this year his strength has obviously improved greatly; and although Huang Zifeng has good talent, it has not been long since he broke through, and now he is no match for Xing Zhi, who was defeated by Yao Tianchuan last year. Now facing Yao Tianchuan who has made further progress, his chances of winning are even slimmer.

Huang Zifeng knew in his heart that just by looking at the sword attack, he was not sure he could deal with it.

His brows were tightly furrowed and his heart sank.

If he lost, he was not afraid of being inferior to others in skills; but seeing that Yao Tianchuan did not take them seriously, he would find it hard to accept if he lost miserably and brought shame to his sect.

The death of Wang, the steward of Jinling Branch, made Senior Brother Qin and the elders of the Yao family even more unhappy, and the relationship between the two sides became somewhat tense. Originally, when the Yao family invited the Sword Sect, they were very enthusiastic and paid much attention to it, but now the atmosphere has changed.

In this situation, I can't lose...

Huang Zifeng took a deep breath, glanced at Ning Zi, and nodded.

Last year, when the two sects had a sword fight, even though Senior Sister Ning was defeated, she still fought hard for victory and almost defeated the strong with the weak. I should follow her example.

He moved his body and was about to stand up, but he heard a voice coming from the side:
"Brother Huang, why don't you let me go for you for a while?"

Huang Zifeng was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lin Zhen next to him, only to see her say seriously:

"This Yao Tianchuan is a bit arrogant, but his strength is indeed extraordinary. Although in a martial arts competition, winning or losing depends on oneself, it is a form of training. But here we are also representing the sect, and he clearly has malicious intent.

"Let Junior Sister go meet him first and see how confident he is."

Lin Zhen's face was calm, but his eyes were slightly shining.

Huang Zifeng shook his head subconsciously:
"Junior Sister Lin, how can I let you take the risk? Yao Tianchuan just now showed no mercy to the disciples of Qu Ning Academy, which shows how cruel and ruthless he is..."

"I am a cultivator, not a delicate girl who cannot stand being hurt."

Lin Zhen said with a firm look:
"It is a rare opportunity to face off against such a master."

Qin Zhenyang and Ning Zi, who were standing beside him, were both hesitant after hearing what was said.

According to the style of the Yunshan Sword Sect, if a disciple loses in a sparring match, then that's no big deal. If they are not as skilled as their opponent, they can just practice again. They generally won't use techniques like round-robin or Tian Ji horse racing to test their opponent.

But this time was different. Yao Tianchuan made no secret of his attitude. First, Steward Wang was murdered, and then there was the unpleasantness at the welcoming banquet. This was not just a competition between disciples, but also a contest between the Yunshan Sword Sect and the Yao Family.

With the attention of tens of thousands of people along the river and many more people in other places who care about this event, the results of this event will definitely be widely reported and publicized.

Since it concerns the sect, when Lin Zhen said he wanted to be the vanguard, the two of them didn't know whether they should stop him. After all, Lin Zhen had just broken through the Qi and Blood Transformation Realm not long ago, and he was at two different realms from Yao Tianchuan.

Huang Zifeng was still unwilling to agree. Just as he was about to shake his head, another voice rang out beside him:
"Brother Huang, Sister Lin, why don't you let me go for you for a while..."

Several people turned around and looked at Xie Yuan, their expressions suddenly changing.

Junior Brother Zhang?
The other three seemed to be hesitant to speak for a moment.

If we say that Lin Zhen did break through for a period of time, his realm is stable after all.

"Zhang Shan" had just broken through to the Qi and Blood Transformation Stage before coming to Jinling - although this was very fast for him, if he wanted to compete with Yao Tianchuan, it would probably not even serve the purpose of a test.

Several people did not think that his swordsmanship was bad, his talent was obvious to all;
But the gap in cultivation is here. The newly broken through first transformation realm and the first transformation realm which is only a thin layer of window paper away from the second transformation realm, can actually be divided into several realms in between.

There is a huge gap between Junior Brother Zhang and Yao Tianchuan in terms of realm, so how can he be allowed to go up?

Ning Zi and the other two were about to dissuade him, but Xie Yuan coughed lightly and said:
"Since Senior Sister Lin is going to help Senior Brother Huang lead the charge, it is only natural for me to help Senior Sister Lin weigh the weight. We in the Yunshan Sword Sect are united as one. As long as they don't think it violates the rules - he jumped out on his own and didn't follow the lottery."

Ning Zi frowned and said:

"Junior Brother Zhang, stop making trouble! Not to mention the difference in strength, you haven't even registered yet!"

Xie Yuan said with a hint of meaning:

"Even so, I'm afraid Yao Tianchuan would like to beat me one more time, so he definitely won't mind this."

No one spoke, as it was obvious from Yao Tianchuan's attitude.

Huang Zifeng shook his head repeatedly:
"Junior Brother Zhang, your intentions are good, but you... still don't have to go to fight Yao Tianchuan. Junior Sister Lin doesn't have to go either, I will go to fight on my own. Don't worry, I will do my best and not bring shame to the sect."

Lin Zhen pursed his lips:
"It's alright, just let me see how strong this noble family's kid is! My master wanted me to gain more experience, that was her idea. Well, Junior Brother Zhang, you just made a breakthrough, so it's better for you to focus on observation."

Xie Yuan felt helpless as he had to fight for the chance to play.

He just wanted to speak, but Lin Zhen got there first. Now three people are competing for this spot...

The pressure that Yao Tianchuan put on the Sword Sect members was indeed not small, otherwise it wouldn't make much difference who won or lost.

But apart from the sect's reputation, the main reason for Xie Yuan was what he heard at Yao's house that night.

Yao Tianchuan has pure ill intentions towards the Sword Sect. If Huang Zifeng and Lin Zhen go on stage, it may not be as simple as losing.

His eyes flashed, and seeing that several people were arguing, he turned his gaze to Qin Zhenyang.

Qin Zhenyang was very surprised to see him volunteer.

As he was thinking about something, he saw Xie Yuan's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and said:
"Then let Junior Brother Zhang take the lead."

"what?"

Ning Zi shouted exaggeratedly and directly refuted:
"Brother Qin, what do you think? Even if the sect is the most important thing, you can't let Junior Brother Zhang go up and get beaten! Junior Brother Zhang is still a child!"

Qin Zhenyang and Xie Yuan both had dark lines on their faces.

This child was able to escape unscathed from facing a master. I wonder what kind of child he is...

He was speechless for a moment, then said slowly:

"Junior Brother Zhang has always been a steady person. Since he volunteered, he must have his own ideas, right?"

"What naive ideas do you have? Even though people may not die in the ring, there will be bloodshed!"

Ning Zi glared.

Seeing that Qin Zhenyang was having trouble explaining, Xie Yuan passed the buck to himself and could only say:

"Well, I have some insights from Jianfeng before, and I have some experience in using fast swords. Maybe it will be useful."

"Has Jianfeng understood so much? I haven't heard you say that before."

Ning Zi asked suspiciously.

"Nine days. I stayed there for nine days."

Xie Yuan looked serious.

Let's take precautions first. No matter what happens, if you are in doubt, just leave it to Jianfeng.

Ning Zi was speechless:

"Alright, alright, no need to keep mentioning my ability! Humph, I can stay on the eleventh floor for nine days!"

She sounded a little guilty. With her level of cultivation, it was no big deal for her to stay on the twenty-first floor for nine days. But if she were to practice outside, it might not be possible.

Of course, Xie Yuan was not an external practitioner at that time.

Lin Zhen and Huang Zifeng were both slightly stunned when they heard Xie Yuan say this.

The status of Jianfeng in the hearts of the disciples of Yunshan Sword Sect is sacred. Since Xie Yuan took out Jianfeng, they couldn't help but believe it a little more.

However, the two still had some doubts that Xie Yuan was just trying to take the lead. They were hesitant and touched, but seeing that Qin Zhenyang agreed, they just told Xie Yuan:

"Junior Brother Zhang, be careful!"

"Junior Brother Zhang, the sect has always been people-oriented. If you are defeated, just admit defeat in time. Yao Tianchuan is ruthless, don't force yourself."

Xie Yuan nodded:
"Okay, brothers and sisters, leave it to me."

He spoke so calmly and calmly that Ning Zi and the other two doubted whether he had heard it or not.

However, considering that Zhang Shan usually looked silly, they didn't think much about it.

At this time, Qin Zhenyang had already explained everything to the Yao family disciple next to him. The disciple went upstairs and came down after a while, saying that there was no problem.

So Xie Yuan stood up, nodded slightly to several of his fellow disciples, and went downstairs.

Yao Tianchuan had been waiting on the ring for a long time and was getting impatient, but he didn't show it.

It is to make them serious and let them discuss. The final result is the same...

If I don’t return the pain and struggle I have experienced to Yunshan Sword Sect, then all this year’s hard training will be in vain!

However, when he saw that the people who ended up like that were not the same two people, Yao Tianchuan was slightly startled, and then narrowed his eyes.

Another one?
better!

The audiences were all surprised. They didn't expect that the disciples sent by Yunshan Sword Sect were not the two young swordsmen who looked very powerful.

"Who is this? Is this the third contestant from the Sword Sect? I see there are only two of them."

"It was added temporarily... Could it be that they added their strongest one because they saw that Yao Tianchuan was very strong?"

"But if he is the strongest among the First Transformation Realm disciples, he would definitely come here to participate in the competition, right? Why didn't he sign up before?"

"Maybe... he's just here to observe?"

"Observe? Does that mean his strength is not as good as the two people just now? Then why did he come up here?"

"It might be the consumables of Yunshan Sword Sect... to consume Yao Tianchuan. I didn't expect Yunshan Sword Sect to do this."

"Tsk, it's boring. You can't even block a sword. What's the point? Hurry up and serve the main course!"

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and after the conclusion was reached, some people even booed.

The fifth floor of Wangjiang Tower.

The gray-haired Ningguo Duke looked at the arena and shook his head:
"What does Yunshan Sword Sect mean by this?"

A dignified old man beside him said calmly:

"When my disciple came to ask for instructions just now, he told me that several people from the Sword Sect were discussing tactics and wanted to use weak ones to test Tianchuan."

Duke Ningguo smiled:

"It seems that the Sword Sect is a little too proud to save face, or that nephew Tianchuan is too outstanding, which puts them under great pressure."

"Tianchuan is young and hot-tempered. After being humiliated in Yunshan, he naturally wants to return."

The old man looked calm:
"Moreover, the Yunshan Sword Sect only lost a manager, but they are so aggressive towards us. They don't know their own status."

Duke Ningguo smiled, but he disagreed in his heart.

If we really talk about martial arts strength, the current Yunshan Sword Sect is indeed not comparable to your Yao family...

However, it is probably precisely because of this that the Yao family reacted so excitedly, and Yao Tianchuan's behavior was also instructed by his elders.

The weaker the tiger is, the more difficult it has to act to bully.

But Yao Tianchuan is indeed very powerful, and he has been suppressing his realm and not breaking through, which is something he has been planning for a long time.

Not to mention a one-on-one fight in the First Transformation Realm, even if the two young men from the Sword Sect attacked together, they might not be the opponent.

Duke Ningguo shook his head slightly. Although he disapproved of the Yao family's actions, he did not show it.

The fifth floor is the viewing platform for the two masters, and the fourth floor is home to several major families.

In addition to the Nanjing Yao family, the Yongyang Qian family, which was the closest to the Yao family, the Langya Wang family, and the Fanyang Lu family also sent their young men over.

Seeing that Yao Tianchuan was in the limelight, the young people of the Yao family were naturally very motivated:

"Fourth cousin is so powerful! He will definitely defeat the Yunshan Sword Sect members in one fell swoop!"

"Brother Fourth is so powerful, how can this makeshift guy be his opponent? I just asked, this guy was sent by the Sword Sect to consume Brother Fourth's strength. Haha, but even if his strength is at the level of a disciple of Qu Ning Academy, it can only take one sword. I'm afraid this guy can't even make Brother Fourth work hard!"

The disciples from other sects were not as fanatical in praising Yao Tianchuan, but they also looked at Yao Tianchuan with caution.

The Yao family has indeed produced an extraordinary genius.

As for the unknown young disciple of Yunshan Sword Sect, after hearing the whole story, they naturally didn't even pay any attention to him.

In the arena.

Xie Yuan and Yao Tianchuan stood opposite each other.

"Yunshan Sword Sect, Zhang Shan."

Xie Yuan gave his name in a serious tone.

Yao Tianchuan looked at him and said coldly:
"Hidden Sword Pavilion, Jinling Yao Clan, Yao Tianchuan."

He paused, and suddenly said to himself:
"You don't have to be afraid of my fast sword."

Xie Yuan was confused, and then he said:

"I will be slow in dealing with you Sword Sect disciples. You can use whatever skills you have."

Yao Tianchuan's eyes were gloomy and his tone seemed calm, but Xie Yuan could hear the hidden meaning clearly.

What a deep hatred! Why so extreme?

It seems to be because of myself... then it's okay.

Xie Yuan's eyes moved slightly. Since it started with him, then let him end it.

He placed his hand on the sword and said seriously:
"Then you should be careful of my fast sword."

Yao Tianchuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled disdainfully:

"Careful? You?"

Not to mention that the person in front of him had no outstanding combat record, even if he was a strong opponent, Yao Tianchuan didn't think he would have an opponent in the first level of transformation.

He could have made a breakthrough before, but he suppressed his strength until now just for today.

If he breaks through to the second transformation realm, Yao Tianchuan is afraid that he will not be able to seek revenge on the Yunshan Sword Sect disciples in the second transformation realm; but if he breaks through to the first transformation realm, he will surely be able to take it easy.

In the past, as a swordsman, Yao Tianchuan probably would not have had such thoughts; but after last year, although he finally picked up the sword again, his temperament had subtly changed, and he subconsciously stopped thinking about many things inside.

It's all that guy's fault anyway... As long as I defeat the disciples of Yunshan Sword Sect one by one, then find that guy and defeat him completely, I can make up for my swordsmanship.

Today is the first day.

Xie Yuan did not respond to Yao Tianchuan's ridicule, but just asked:
"Are you ready?" Yao Tianchuan was stunned for a moment and suddenly became angry.

How can you ask this question from the opposite side? Why?
He snorted:
"I didn't intend to waste too much time on you. After all, you are just a nobody. But now I have changed my mind. I will let your brothers and sisters watch how you are defeated. You are defeated helplessly and hopelessly."

After Yao Tianchuan finished speaking, he took a breath and looked at the referee:

"let's start."

The referee silently retreated to the sidelines, raised his hands high, and then dropped them.

"start!"

Xie Yuan put his hand on the hilt of the sword. When he heard the referee's call to start, he suddenly drew the sword, turned it into a ball of cold light, and stabbed at Yao Tianchuan.

Yao Tianchuan pointed his sword casually at the ground, looked at Xie Yuan, and saw his movements.

too slow.

He sneered a little.

How dare you call this a fast sword?

You dare to tell me to be careful?

Ridiculously confident.

If he didn't want to slowly destroy his opponent's swordsmanship, he would have wanted to show him how to use a quick sword!

Yao Tianchuan held his sword upright and used the simplest sword move, "Pointing an incense stick toward the sky", preparing to use the tip of his sword three inches to block Xie Yuan's sword.

He wanted his opponent to experience the feeling of having every move cracked and every action seen through, just like he had experienced before...

He stared straight into Xie Yuan's eyes, wanting to see the surprise and disappointment on his face when his sword was blocked by him, and he was already looking forward to it.

At that time, would you still dare to speak so arrogantly?

Yao Tianchuan's eyes lit up as he waited for the fruits to blossom and bear fruit.

But after a moment, things seemed a little different from what he had imagined.

There was no feeling of the swords colliding in his hands, nor did he hear the pleasant "ding" sound.

His sword missed.

how come?
Yao Tianchuan's eyes narrowed, and he had a bad feeling in his heart. He shook his hand and swung the sword left and right, trying to block the sword that was coming towards him.

But still, it didn't touch the sword.

He didn't know what was happening, his heart tightened instantly, he withdrew his sword, and was about to take a defensive stance to observe the situation, but his hand stopped.

A sharp sword was firmly stopped in front of his throat.

This scene seems familiar...

Yao Tianchuan was in a trance for a moment, then his face changed and he said:

"Impossible! Where's your sword?"

"Before your throat."

Xie Yuan said with a simple and honest look on his face.

"…I was asking about just now! Why, why didn't I see your sword?!"

Yao Tianchuan choked and roared almost uncontrollably.

Xie Yuan retracted his sword and shook his head:

"Maybe there's just too big a gap between you and me."

"..."

Yao Tianchuan was stunned for a moment and became speechless, just like the thousands of audiences in the audience below and upstairs.

In their eyes, the trajectory of Xie Yuan's sword was clear, but it made them feel like they were seeing a ghost.

His "fast sword" was not fast at all, just like he had just broken through the Qi and Blood Transformation Stage;
But the sword stopped steadily in front of Yao Tianchuan's sword when he raised it to block. Then Yao Tianchuan swung the sword once, and the sword swayed with it, sticking to the sword body and hidden in the sword light, so that Yao Tianchuan could not detect it at all.

When he hurriedly put away his sword, the sword moved like a dragon hidden in the clouds and killed him in the throat with one blow.

Xie Yuan's sword had clearly been right under Yao Tianchuan's eyes, but he couldn't see it at all; although the audience could see it, they were completely speechless at this miraculous skill.

What kind of swordsmanship is this?
His “fast sword”... could it really defeat Yao Tianchuan with just one move?

No, Yao Tianchuan really lost?!
The audience only then reacted, digesting this fact with a look of surprise, and slowly began to discuss and make noise, the noise gradually rising to the sky.

"Yao Tianchuan, who was invincible with his fast sword, was killed by that slow 'fast sword'!"

"How can that be called a fast sword? It's more like... a fast and slow sword."

"I didn't expect that Yao Tianchuan is only good at one sword. He looks powerful, but in fact, he is probably the type who can do anything with just one trick."

The audience in the audience were talking excitedly, forgetting how much they were optimistic about Yao Tianchuan and started praising Xie Yuan instead.

"The disciples of Yunshan Sword Sect are really more powerful than each other! This one's sword moves are too amazing!"

"Isn't Yao Tianchuan too lame? His own sword is blocking his own eyes."

"You don't understand! This move may seem simple, but it involves a lot! The Five Elements, Eight Diagrams, Qimen Dunjia, his swordsmanship must be from the Eight Diagrams!"

"I haven't heard that the Yunshan Sword Sect is also good at Bagua Sword... Is this person called Zhang Shan?"

"Zhang Shan..."

The audience below the stage was talking non-stop and looking at Xie Yuan in surprise.

Although it was just one move and his cultivation level did not seem to be very high, the sword skills displayed by this unknown disciple of the Sword Sect were truly shocking.

The name Zhang Shan quickly spread among people.

On the upper floor of Wangjiang Tower, Ning Zi opened her lips so wide that an egg could fit in them. She was stunned for a long while before she said:
"Is this Jianfeng's understanding? Why haven't I realized this kind of thing..."

Qin Zhenyang felt vaguely that this move was somewhat familiar, as if it had some shadows of the Nine Styles of Cloud Dragon;
But even for this junior brother, it shouldn't be possible for him to master the Nine Styles of Cloud Dragon, right?

Maybe it was really the enlightenment gained from the sword peak, with some meaning of Xiaoyunlong Nine Styles.

He nodded repeatedly and smiled.

This is great. He defeated the enemy with just one sword move. Even the master wouldn't be able to see anything. He is worthy of being the one who did it.

Lin Zhen standing next to him was also surprised. He never expected that Junior Brother Zhang said he would go up and test everyone, but ended up defeating the opponent with just one move!

The best way to reduce danger is to eliminate it directly...

Huang Zifeng was also shocked. Looking at the sword skills used by Xie Yuan, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and then suddenly cold sweat broke out on his back.

If it were me, it seems I would have no way to deal with this move!
On the fourth floor, all the children from aristocratic families were silent. The children from the Yao family, who had made bold statements before the game, remained silent after the game.

The other families looked at each other, and their expressions changed as they looked at Yao Tianchuan and Xie Yuan downstairs.

"interesting."

A young man in brocade robe waved his folding fan, stared at Xie Yuan and smiled.

The young man from the Yao family nearby was about to glare at him, but when he saw the young master being surrounded by several people from the Wang family of Langya, he suddenly became silent.

In the arena.

Yao Tianchuan looked at the ground in despair, the sword in his hand shaking constantly.

How come it's another move? If the opponent is serious, how come he can't withstand another move...

After a year of practice, the result is still like this?

There was some confusion in his eyes, and he looked around blankly. When he saw Xie Yuan's back as he was about to step down, he seemed to recall the night in Yunshan.

Yao Tianchuan was stunned for a moment before realizing that they were in Jinling.

But he stared at Xie Yuan, his eyes gradually turned red, his breathing gradually became heavier, and his head and mind were filled with the sword light that night and the sword just now, which sometimes overlapped and sometimes separated, and gradually he could not tell them apart.

He couldn't help but tighten his grip, and shouted in confusion:
"Damn it! Don't leave! Let's fight for another three hundred rounds! I must defeat you today!"

Yao Tianchuan, holding a long sword in his hand, suddenly rushed to the back of Xie Yuan, and stabbed him in the back with the sword while he was unaware!
There were bursts of exclamations from the audience, but before the exclamations died down, a voice with hidden anger rang out from the tall building:
"Yao Tianchuan! Stop!"

Yao Tianchuan felt a buzzing in his head and instantly woke up. He shook himself and fell to one knee on the ground.

The referee hurriedly dragged him away. Xie Yuan quickly turned around, pretending to be a little flustered, and silently loosened his sword.

The audience stretched their necks and looked up at the tall building, wanting to see who the master was. A loud shout instantly sobered up the crazy Yao Tianchuan and made him lose his ability to move. However, the fifth floor of Wangjiang Building was quiet and no more movement was heard.

On the fifth floor, the old man had a dark look on his face and closed his eyes slightly.

In such an occasion, the Yao family disciples would not only lose the battle but also their dignity. If they really launched a sneak attack and injured or even killed the disciples of the Yunshan Sword Sect, not to mention that their reputation would be ruined in front of the people of the world, Li Xingtuo would probably have to go to Jinling in person.

One is Yao Tianchuan, the other is Yao Yilong. I am not as skilled as them and I have brought shame to the entire Yao family...

The old man just felt a little headache. He drank a sip of tea to calm down his anger, then looked at Xie Yuan on the stage.

Judging from the blood and energy he revealed and his reaction just now, he had indeed just broken through to the first level of blood and energy transformation.

But why is his swordsmanship so superb?

Has the Yunshan Sword Sect gained another swordsmanship genius?
And the quota for seeing Zhenhu...

The old man looked solemn, and heard Duke Ningguo sighing beside him:

"It's a pity for my nephew Tianchuan. He is still stronger than his opponent. It's just that this young man from the Sword Sect has a unique sword technique and has the upper hand. If they were to fight with real swords and guns, the gap would not be that big, and my nephew Tianchuan should have a better chance of winning."

"I'm not as skilled as others. I need to practice more when I go back."

The old man said in a muffled voice.

"Master Yao is too modest."

Duke Ningguo stroked his beard, laughed, and disagreed in his heart.

I heard that Yao Tianchuan's swordsmanship was unstable before. It's unclear whether he can practice martial arts after returning...

However, this young man from the Yunshan Sword Sect was very skilled in swordsmanship, and his moves made it impossible for Yao Tianchuan to resist.

Thinking back to the time before, Yao Tianchuan had just emerged from nowhere, and he was also at the Little Hidden Dragon Conference, relying on his sword skills. In terms of moves alone, even those at the Second Transformation Realm could not defeat him.
Now this man is better than Yao Tianchuan. He is at the Qi and Blood Transformation Realm against someone who is about to reach the Second Transformation Realm, and Yao Tianchuan has not suppressed his realm... It's really not enough to call him a genius.

This is how the world is, one wave after another, there will always be new comers.

It’s just that I want to stay at the forefront for a few more years…

Ning Guogong adjusted his hair, his eyes looking deep.

Xie Yuan returned to the third floor of Wangjiang Tower under the watchful eyes of the crowd. Ning Zi immediately led the enthusiastic applause:
"Hi, Junior Brother Zhang, I didn't expect you to be so powerful. I feel like your swordsmanship is not inferior to mine!"

"Senior Sister, you are too kind. I am far inferior to Senior Sister Ning."

Xie Yuan said modestly.

Qin Zhenyang looked at Xie Yuan with a sincere face, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Junior Brother Zhang, you are amazing!"

Lin Zhen's soft voice sounded, and she looked at Xie Yuan and gave him a thumbs up.

Huang Zifeng also sighed:
"I thought Junior Brother Zhang had little chance of winning, but I didn't expect you to defeat me with just one move. I underestimated you."

"They are all sword peaks, all sword peaks, and there just happens to be a way to break them."

Xie Yuan attributed all the credit to Jianfeng.

He sat at the table drinking tea and resting. Although many people were secretly looking at him, there was nothing unusual, and no one from upstairs came to visit him. He nodded slightly:
"It's good that it's not noticed."

Xie Yuan didn't want to show his face in such a public place, but Yao Tianchuan was obviously mentally distorted, and today he confirmed that if he wasn't handled carefully, it might lead to bad consequences.

Anyway, he was the one who started it, so he should end it. It's just a matter of sips and pecks, and everything will be decided.

But he made up his mind and decided to end the battle as quickly as possible. The shorter the fighting time, the less things would be exposed.

Anyway, in terms of pure swordsmanship, he practiced the master swordsmanship of Yunlong Nine Styles, so he was certainly not a match for the swordsmen in the first transformation realm, the second transformation realm, and most of the third transformation realm.

Another competition started on the arena, with young warriors shedding their sweat and even blood, but few of the matches were as impressive as those of the Yunshan Sword Sect.

After all, the disciples of Qu Ning Academy were killed instantly by Yao Tianchuan, and Yao Tianchuan was sent away by Xie Yuan, so there were not many disciples left from the major sects.

The one religion, two sects and four schools did not send any young disciples to participate in this realm-changing competition, and the eight major families only sent some young disciples to broaden their horizons.

After all, it is a small Qianlong Society, and it is not yet able to recruit the best talents from the major sects in the world. It mainly consists of young people from the Jiangnan area.

Therefore, the remaining battles were neither more exciting nor more powerful than those involving the Yunshan Sword Sect.

After a few rounds, Lin Zhen and Huang Zifeng won several games in a row with almost no effort;
Since Xie Yuan has already participated, if he quits now, it would seem like he is targeting Yao Tianchuan, so he naturally continues.

In every battle, he defeated the enemy with one strike, no matter how strong the enemy was. This was something that Lin Zhen and Huang Zifeng could not do.

The only thing I know is the fast sword, which was all taught to me by Jianfeng.

As the competition progressed to the end, the top three were actually taken by the Yunshan Sword Sect.

As for the remaining enemies, Lin Zhen got here relying on his strength and a bit of luck, while strong players like Yao Tianchuan and Qu Ning Shuyuan were eliminated, leaving Huang Zifeng relying purely on his strength.

When the two faced Xie Yuan, they simply admitted defeat without any objection.

"The champion of the first day of the Little Hidden Dragon Conference is Yunshan Sword Sect and Zhang Shan!"

Xie Yuan stood on the stage, looking at the cheers and admiring eyes from the audience. Many people he didn't even recognize were calling his name, looking puzzled.

In fact, I hadn’t thought about participating before I came, nor did I think about these rewards or anything like that;

But as time went by, things finally came to this point.

So sometimes people need to consider both their personal struggle and the course of history...

After Yao Qinglai, the Yao family's foreign affairs elder, personally announced the first day's champion, although he was in a very bad mood, he still showed a polite smile:
"Congratulations, Young Master Zhang. This bottle of Snow Mountain Ginseng and Deer Antler Pills will surely help you to generate blood and energy, nourish your internal energy, and assist in your cultivation, so that you can make rapid progress every day."

Xie Yuan took the bottle of pills and bowed, saying:
"Thank you, Elder Yao."

The Yao family’s generosity was still good. Even though an outsider won the championship, they still gave him the Snow Mountain Ginseng and Deer Antler Pill, which is considered a miracle medicine.

It can replenish blood and qi at the same time, and it is the best to cultivate both the inside and the outside. The market is selling it by the pill. This bottle of his...

Xie Yuan shook it quietly and felt that there were at least ten grains.

It's worth a lot! The only problem is, this is for the first level of Qi and Blood Transformation... Can I exchange it for some medicine for the second level?
Whatever, who told me to like acting? Sometimes I have to endure this unspeakable situation.

The magic medicine that can change one's state of mind may have some effect on me, which is better than nothing.

Xie Yuan was lost in thought when he heard Yao Qing come and say:
"...After the Little Hidden Dragon Meeting, when the Jianzhen Lake Ruins are opened, Young Master Zhang can go explore."

Xie Yuan was cheered up. Compared to any elixir, this was the main event.

Another relic? Thinking of the harvest from the pagoda, which he hasn't used up yet, Xie Yuan began to look forward to it.

Although it is a relic that has been developed many times, it is less dangerous this way, and it is also good to be safe.

After Yao Qing finished speaking, he encouraged the young people and gave a short speech. Perhaps he had learned from the experience of the opening ceremony, or perhaps the process was not satisfactory, so his speech was much briefer this time.

When the first day of competition was over, the sun had already set and a silver moon rose in the east, illuminating the way for the Sword Sect members to return to the villa.

However, perhaps not many people in Jinling knew them before, and today, someone was staring at them all the way, making Xie Yuan and the others feel uncomfortable.

After finally returning to the villa, Xie Yuan took the time to tell Qin Zhenyang what Yao Tianchuan had heard in Yao's house before. Qin Zhenyang finally understood why Xie Yuan took the risk of being exposed to the eyes of the noble family and volunteered. He patted Xie Yuan's shoulder gently:

"You've worked hard today. Have a good rest. I'll tell you about Jianzhen Lake tomorrow."

Xie Yuan nodded. Although he had heard about it before, he didn't know the details and couldn't help but look forward to it.

Several fellow disciples encouraged Ning Zi, asking her to have a good rest and prepare well for the competition tomorrow, and then they went their separate ways to rest.

On the top of the Wangjiang Tower, the banquet after the grand event had not yet ended, but this place was mainly attended by aristocratic families, and the Yunshan Sword Sect naturally did not want to participate.

In an elegant room, Yao Qinglai looked at the man standing by the railing overlooking the river and whispered a faint reproach:
"According to your suggestion, I finally convinced the Patriarch to set up a reward for a place in Jianzhen Lake in the First Transformation Realm. Who knew it would be like this? Although Tianchuan's skills are indeed inferior to others, what's the point of letting him get it? Now it's given to the people of Yunshan Sword Sect for nothing... I still don't understand what you want to do."

The spot to enter the ruins is extremely precious. If it were not impossible to go back on your word, Yao Qinglai really wanted to withdraw regardless of the consequences.

The man tilted his head slightly, revealing his handsome and somewhat mature profile, and smiled:
"Who knew Yao Tianchuan would be defeated with just one sword strike? What a good defeat!"

Yao Qinglai's face showed anger:

"Brother Qian, do you still want to mock us at this time?"

"I'm not being sarcastic."

Mr. Qian smiled deeply:

“If Yao Tianchuan takes it, the quota will go back into your Yao family’s pocket, so there will be no loss;
"But if he didn't get it, and it fell into the hands of Yunshan Sword Sect, that would be even better..."

Seeing Yao Qinglai was confused, Mr. Qian turned back and looked at the endless river flowing eastward, his eyes slightly shining:

"Just wait and see. This spot will definitely be worth the money. Zhang Shan, Zhang Shan? Hehehe..."
