Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 226 Peerless Seed, 24-Game Winning Streak
"Of course it's good!"

Han Zhuofei tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest and said with a smile:

"This young man has accumulated a wealth of knowledge and experience. I have seen many elite geniuses, but very few can reach his level. He can be called a peerless talent."

Many people around looked surprised, and one of them asked:
"A peerless seed?"

"He has simply accumulated enough wealth; he has no other special qualities. Can he really be called a peerless talent?"

Cheng Shayu glanced at him and smiled:

"To condense the true meaning of swordsmanship during the Qi Refining stage, coupled with such a profound foundation, isn't that extraordinary?"

"Well"

The man hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Su Yu, who was already suppressing the eleventh opponent, and nodded in agreement:
"The accumulation is indeed extraordinary."

In the short time it took to speak, Su Yu had already defeated another opponent with his extraordinary swordsmanship.

With the ninth-tier flying sword combined with the true meaning of swordsmanship, it can break through all spells and magical treasures at the Qi Refining level. The concept of "one sword to break all spells" began to take shape at this time.

Less than ten seconds later, the twelfth opponent jumped up.

On the Horned Demon side, the Horned Demon Earth Immortal sitting at the head of the table frowned as he watched the twelfth contestant fall into a disadvantageous position in less than twenty seconds. He let out a long breath and said in a deep voice:

"This human has accumulated extremely rich knowledge and skills, and his swordsmanship is extraordinary. He has reached the limit of the Qi Refining stage."

The demon officer sitting in the other corner next to him immediately said:
"Rest assured, Your Majesty, we will send a master to fight in the next battle."

The Horned Demon True Lord remained silent for a moment before speaking:
"Aren't there a few exceptional talents accompanying the army? Let them go."

The subordinate exclaimed in surprise:
"Are we going up so early?"

The words had barely left his mouth when the situation changed immediately:

"I'll contact them right away."

On the stage, Su Yu achieved her twelfth consecutive victory as expected.

Defeating this opponent made Su Yu feel much easier than before. She felt that if all opponents were at this level, she could still fight four or five more battles with her remaining mana.

Sword cultivators consume less mana than spellcasters. Without using various sword techniques, their own mana recovery is enough to maintain a balance in mana consumption.

These opponents were all among the top tier of the Qi Refining stage, or their differences were not significant due to variations in the quality of their magical artifacts or Daoist techniques; they were generally no match for him.

With this in mind, Su Yu dreamed of winning multiple consecutive matches in one go, and finally using her ultimate move to pave the way for a twenty-match winning streak, thus securing her second major achievement.

But unexpectedly, after the twelfth opponent finished, the thirteenth opponent jumped in and immediately transformed into a ten-zhang tall, three-headed, six-armed true form.

"???"

This creature is dark gold in color, has three heads, the main one being a demon head, the left eye glaring with anger, the right with compassion, and six enormous arms, each wielding a weapon.

At the top, he holds a giant sword in each hand; in the middle, he holds a bead in one hand and a hammer in the other; and at the bottom, he holds a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other.

This unknown entity looked down at Su Yu, its central head speaking in human language:

"Your strength is not bad, but this is where it ends."

Su Yu raised an eyebrow, her face showing delight, and asked:

"Judging from your true form, you are no ordinary person. What level are you at among the Horned Demons?"

The true form replied in a buzzing voice:

"A core disciple of Tianyan, a peerless talent!"

"A peerless seed?"

Su Yu's eyes lit up, and she laughed heartily:

"Very good, if I defeat you, I can also be ranked among the top seeds."

As soon as he finished speaking, the horned demon's true form roared in fury, spewing flames from its angry head:
"Insanity!"

If the countdown hadn't been ongoing, he probably would have acted immediately.

七.
six.
Su Yu silently counted down in his mind. As the last second ended and the barrier disappeared, he had a sudden thought and softly shouted:
"The sword of time, mortgaging the future!"

In an instant, an invisible force descended upon him from the future, instantly increasing his attack power and attack speed by 100000. His twin swords suddenly shone brightly, flickering on and off.

With a thought, Su Yu's twin swords vanished in a flash. The unknown true form's central head's eyes narrowed as if it had discovered something. At the same moment, several deep wounds appeared on its body. It sensed something but couldn't react at all.

"What a fast sword!"

A series of flashes of light appeared, and almost in the blink of an eye, twenty or thirty wounds appeared on the true form of the horned demon.

This horned demon was decisive. In just a moment, it knew that it was impossible to intercept this super-fast sword light. It decisively activated its ultimate move. Dense divine runes appeared on the surface of its three-headed, six-armed true body, and golden flames burned on its raised arms, converging on its six-armed weapons.

"boom!"

A bolt of lightning, even more golden than a human body, slashed through the air, followed by the bead rising into the sky like a meteor.

With a swift double slash, more than a dozen golden sword beams, each hundreds of meters long, came crashing down in succession.

The fifth and sixth arms drew the bow and nocked the arrow, and golden light converged towards the arrowhead.

Before the arrows even arrived, a strong threat rushed towards him. Su Yu decisively activated the Azure Cloud Protection, and the Azure Cloud Canopy lit up, raising clusters of azure auspicious clouds to protect himself.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Lightning struck head-on, causing defense to plummet by 40,000.

Seventeen sword energies came straight at him, each sword energy cutting away more than 10,000 units of the protective aura, causing his defensive power to plummet by 240,000 in the blink of an eye.

The precious pearl crashed down like a meteor, causing the defense to drop by 100,000.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful arrow shot left a deep piercing mark in the air and struck the canopy, causing a cloud of blue to explode and the defense to drop by 200,000.

A single burst of damage can reach 580,000, which would directly break through the defense if the Qingyun protective shield is not activated.

After deducting the 70% damage reduction from Qingyun's protective shield, this burst of damage actually amounted to 193 million, which is enough to instantly kill a level 100 boss.

This is just a basic attack; it shows how terrifying the true form of this three-headed, six-armed being is.

If Su Yu didn't unleash his ultimate move, he really wouldn't be able to defeat him. But there are no "ifs" in life. After activating the Sword of Time, every strike ignores realm, defense reduction, and realm; every strike deals true damage.

Ten swords per second, twenty swords with dual swords, each sword dealing up to 15.6 damage, with a burst damage of up to 312 million in one second.

This three-headed, six-armed true form possesses extremely robust blood and energy, with defensive capabilities comparable to a BOSS. It also boasts exceptionally high damage reduction and armor-piercing resistance, making it difficult for other sword immortals, even those wielding high-level magic weapons, to break through its defenses.

Unfortunately, the Sword of Time is imbued with the power of time, which prioritizes ignoring defense far more than the true form.

In less than three seconds, the three-headed, six-armed true form unleashed two bursts of power, but Su Yu had already slashed out with sixty swords.

The result was that the Azure Cloud Canopy was on the verge of collapse, and the three heads and six arms were torn to pieces.

"This outbreak"

The pupils of all the horned demon contestants contracted slightly, all filled with apprehension.

Wins +13, Human Points +13.

"Next person!"

On the Horned Demon contestant's platform, the remaining contestants looked at each other, then all turned to look at the two Horned Demons sitting on the edge.

The two horned demons exchanged a glance, one of them, who was holding his sword with both hands, sighed and stood up:
"I come."

With a single step, the person vanished and reappeared on the arena.

Su Yu raised his eyes to look at his newly entered opponent. Sensing the undisguised sharp sword intent emanating from him, as well as the two high-grade flying swords surrounding him, he knew that this was a formidable opponent, and he was afraid that he could not defeat him.

He was not afraid of swordsmanship at all, but he couldn't stand up to this horned demon expert who had two ninth-tier flying swords while he only had one. He was at a great disadvantage in the fight.

The attribute difference between a ninth-tier flying sword and a seventh-tier flying sword is too great, making them difficult to coordinate. They may be fine for easily defeating weaker opponents, but they won't be effective against skilled opponents of the same tier.

Su Yu changed tactics almost instantly.

"Transform into a dragon!"

With a thought, the true dragon bloodline hidden deep within his body rose and spread throughout his entire body, causing his form to rapidly expand.

"Roar!"

A deafening dragon roar echoed between the arena, instantly transforming into a crimson dragon stretching for over ten kilometers across the arena.

Human side:
"???"

Horned Demons' Side:
"???"

On the other side of the dividing membrane, the horned demon expert still maintained his expert posture, but his wide-open mouth and drooping jaw clearly showed his shock and speechlessness.

"Depend on!"

One second I was thinking that it was rare to encounter a sword master who had also mastered the sword intent, and this would definitely be a thrilling sword duel. The next second, the sword master turned into a level 214 mythical template true dragon, which was quite absurd.

"This is fucking ridiculous!"

"What the hell are you talking about?"

The fifteen-second countdown ended in the blink of an eye. The red dragon slowly stretched out its body, neither exhaling breath nor casting any spells, but simply pressing down with one claw.

The horned demon swordsman flashed several kilometers away, clasped his hands together, and disappeared with both swords. The next second, sparks flew from the red dragon's body, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen huge wounds, each nearly a meter deep, appeared on its body, from which a large amount of dragon blood gushed out.

"Ok?"

"You still dare to resist?"

The crimson dragon's pupils widened, flames blazed, its whiskers flicked, and it uttered a true incantation:

"Certainly!"

It wasn't some kind of supernatural power, but rather a terrifying magical force comparable to that of an Earth Immortal, directly affecting a void and immobilizing the opponent. With a wave of its dragon claw, the primordial energy of heaven and earth converged and transformed into a giant dragon-shaped grappling hand, gripping the opponent in its palm. With a press, the opponent's protective magic weapon twisted violently.

Press again, and the protective magic item will fly away, the remaining force crushing it, resulting in a gruesome death.

This is not even in the same league. Not to mention him, even Su Yu now would not be a match for any level 200 super BOSS.

Wins +14, Human Points +14.

The Horned Demon contestants' stands were completely silent, even the high-ranking Horned Demon officers were speechless for a moment.

Although there is still one exceptional seed who has not yet made a move, everyone knows that the outcome would be the same if he did.

Time passed, and for a long while no one dared to go on stage.

"Is no one going up on stage?"

"Who dares to step onto the stage?"

"Hahaha"

Cheng Shayu slapped her thigh and laughed loudly:

"If no one comes up on stage every minute, we consider them to have forfeited a match, and our win count will automatically increase by 1."

The crimson dragon hovered above the arena, surrounded by rolling thunderclouds, its booming sound filling the ears and chilling the heart.

One minute later, no one went up on stage.

Wins +15, Human Points +15.

Two minutes later, still no one went up on stage.

Wins +16, Human Points +16.

three minutes later
The arena was silent for a full ten minutes as Su Yu racked up ten consecutive wins, bringing his total to 24 wins.

When the time was up, the powerful force quickly dissipated from his body, the red dragon that had been traversing the arena rapidly shrank into human form, and then disappeared from the arena.

Su Yu left the stage without waiting for anyone else to take the stage.

I've used all my ultimate moves, and I don't have much mana left. Shouldn't I be defeated now?

Although he still has the great divine power of Sky Rift unused, the Horned Demon also has the Peerless Seed. In his current state, if he were to use Sky Rift alone, he might not be able to win.
