Tumor Sword Immortal

Chapter 106 East Blue Superman
As three dazzling beams of light soared into the sky, the Sword Trial of the Lingxiao Sword Sect finally began.

A huge notice board was erected in front of the main hall, densely filled with the names of the participants in this sword-testing competition.

On the vast sect square, dozens of dueling platforms had already been set up.

At this moment, in addition to the various heroes fighting on the stage, the audience below was already bustling and crowded together.

Xu Shangxin clutched her number plate, carefully protecting the hero and following Pei Xia toward the arena where she would fight.

Perhaps to ease her tension, she whispered to Pei Xia, "Didn't they say there's a large dueling platform under the stone sword on that peak?"

With Lu Li on her head, Pei Xia casually turned around and said, "With so many people participating, it will take forever to compete on one platform. I asked Wang Su, and he said that the competition will only begin when the top thirty-two are in."

"Oh, oh... then I probably won't be able to get up there." She clearly lacked confidence in herself.

“Not necessarily,” Pei Xia waved her hand at her, “Look at that one.”

Xu Shangxin looked in the direction he was pointing and saw two middle-aged men dressed in tight-fitting clothes fighting hand-to-hand.

However, although their movements were swift and fierce, they did not unleash any spiritual power or qi.

"This is... the Transcendent Realm?"

"Yes, Huayou, look, there are quite a few people at this level."

Xu Shangxin stood on tiptoe and looked around.

Indeed, not all participants came from major sects. During this period, the Sword Trial also attracted many idle cultivators who wanted to broaden their horizons.

Even among the major sects, not all who come are exceptional talents. For example, the senior brother from the Yueyang Sect that Xu Shangxin encountered on his way up the mountain—the one wielding the Wansha Blade—was naturally a formidable opponent, but he was accompanied by several junior brothers who were also there to exchange skills and improve their abilities.

Take the host Lingxiao Sword Sect as an example. This sword trial is indeed a grand event in Youzhou, but it is also a rare opportunity for their own disciples to hone their skills and prove themselves.

Except for elders like Wang Su who couldn't bring themselves to go on stage, almost all the younger disciples went up.

Putting everything else aside, Jiao Liang and Xu Yue are all considered experts in this situation!
Li Tan, who was on the other side, smiled and encouraged Xu Shangxin: "Isn't hitting Jiao Liang like hitting a child?"

The older brother blushed with pride after being praised.

Pei Xia and the other three were all going to participate. The first one to take the stage was Xu Shangxin. Just as Pei Xia had expected, her opponent was an unknown person whose cultivation level was not even at the level of Hua You.

The elder brother was still hesitating whether to spare the life of the hero in the cloth sheath when, without paying attention, his protective aura was activated, and he was directly ejected from the arena unconscious.

Riding on Pei Xia's shoulders, Lu Li could see everything clearly. She pouted and said, "Isn't this all bullying?"

"That's how it was in the first few rounds; we had to weed out the spectators."

No sooner had Pei Xia finished speaking than a powerful spiritual energy tremor erupted from another arena not far away, sending a figure flying high into the air before crashing into the crowd.

Looking back, there stood an old Taoist priest in a dirty robe on the arena.

Pei Xia recognized this person; she had seen him in Junma City, where he had fought a female cultivator from Huoye Mountain over a piece of fresh fruit from Qinzhou.

It seems to be a view of chronic illness.

This sect is neither entirely righteous nor entirely evil, and its members are few in number, making it difficult to distinguish between seniors and juniors. Therefore, this person, despite his advanced age, can still shamelessly participate in the sword trial.

This Taoist priest... must be a master of profound mysteries, right?
Pei Xia clicked his tongue and shook his head, saying to Li Tan beside him, "If we take thirty-two people, I'm afraid we won't be able to get many rogue cultivators in."

Li Tan's pretty face flushed slightly. She felt that Pei Xia was reminding her. Senior Sister Li replied softly, "Yes, don't worry, I won't force myself."

With so many people, the first round will take an exceptionally long time. Once Xu Shangxin's round is over, there's still time to catch up with Li Tan's round.

There was no suspense in this match involving Senior Sister Li.

Li Tan is a legitimate member of the Zuo Shan Sect, with a cultivation level as high as the Tongxuan Realm. Unless he is extremely unlucky, he is unlikely to encounter any decent opponents in the first few rounds.

Only Pear was unlucky; she encountered Xu Yue.

Miss Xu stood on the stage, stunned as she looked at the little one opposite her.

Of course she knew Lu Li. She was the little girl who had been by Pei Xia's side back in Mengshan. According to her master, if Pei Xia really came from some hidden, powerful force, then Lu Li, who had come out to adventure at such a young age, must also be extraordinary. But unfortunately, this person did not have any martial arts cultivation.

Just as Miss Xu drew her sword and cautiously circled around Lu Li, preparing to see what tricks she had up her sleeve.

The girl pounded her palm a few times, muttered something to herself, and then gestured with her little hand.

biu!

Xu Yue was still pondering with the sword when she suddenly felt a chill on her body.

The crowded audience below erupted in unison: "Whoa!"

Xu Yue looked at the clothes that had suddenly appeared in Lu Li's hand and felt that they looked familiar. When she looked down again, she saw that her Lingxiao Sword Sect disciple's robe had disappeared and the girl was only wearing thin underwear.

"Ahhhhhh!" A scream rang out, her face flushed red, and she didn't care about the sword anymore. She covered her body with both hands and jumped off the stage.

Sheng Lizi shook her clothes on the stage: "Sister Xu, the clothes are right here!"

Won!

Pear puffed out her chest and strode confidently toward Pei Xia.

Li Tan and Xu Shangxin had both turned their heads away, as if they didn't want anyone to know that they knew each other.

Only Pei Xia politely gave her a thumbs up: "Wow, my Li!"

Pear frankly stated, "It's all thanks to my master's excellent teaching!"

Pei Xia was last in line. His spot was quite far away, in a corner of the square, and there were relatively few spectators around him.

When he arrived, he saw a man in a green robe standing on the stage with a sword in his hand.

Xia Xuan turned around and saw Pei Xia in the audience.

Last time, outside the Dan room, I didn't see any dark circles under my eyes, and because I was far away, I didn't get a close look.

But this time, she quickly recognized Pei Xia as the man she had seen at the Junma City Inn that day.

The reason was simple: the sword in its sheath was trembling.

Pei Xia was taken aback. Although she had come to participate in this event with the intention of helping Xu Shangxin remove obstacles, among all the cultivators, the toughest one was undoubtedly the chief disciple of the Xuan Ge Sword Mansion.

But to meet them in the first round, isn't that a bit too much of a stroke of luck?

The moment the thought crossed Pei Xia's mind, she saw Xia Xuan walk off the stage by herself.

Oh, she was in the last match, it just ended.

Pei Xia glanced around and spotted another familiar figure in the audience.

That was the Yueyang Sect cultivator who had once instructed Xu Shangxin on the way up the mountain. He was a master of the Wansha Blade, and his cultivation level was probably at the Refining Cauldron stage.

Given the abilities of this Yueyang School senior, being eliminated in the first round is truly an incredibly unlucky outcome.

With a chuckle, Pei Xia handed Lu Li to Xu Shangxin and then climbed onto the stage herself.

He then saw a slightly plump female cultivator wearing a black and red outfit leap onto the field.

He immediately stopped laughing.

Sun Tianshu, the flag bearer of Huoye Mountain, is a genuine Tongxuan Realm expert.

Sun Qiling probably didn't recognize the passerby who had helped her in Junma City; she only sensed Pei Xia's Zhen Gang Realm spiritual power.

"You're out of luck, brother," she said lazily, picking at her ear and making a fist. "Fire Night Mountain, Sun Tianshu."

“It’s really unlucky,” Pei Xia sighed, then clasped his hands in a fist salute and called out a name he used to have when he was a wanderer in the martial arts world, “Superman of the East Sea, Pei Xia.”
