That despicable, scheming woman, she actually disguised herself as an elf lady!

The Bian Family Sword Hall is simply furnished, but the wooden floor is spotless. Under the plaque in the center of the arena, there are several rows of sword racks.

Rows of unopened iron or wooden swords hung neatly on it, exuding a chilling aura.

Beside the martial arts arena, a burly man fell heavily to the ground like a sandbag, his body making intimate contact with the ground, his face contorted with rage and pain.

In the center of the arena, Sheng Yun was panting heavily, with beads of sweat on his forehead, but a hint of joy in his eyes.

Clearly, he didn't expect to be able to defeat Li Yi.

Upon seeing this, Guo Dewei cursed under his breath as a piece of trash.

This Li Yilian can't even handle a kid who's only been practicing swordsmanship for a few years, he's just making a fool of himself!

He sneered, "Li Er! You teach them a lesson!"

Li Yi had been in the Sword Mastery Realm for several years, yet he still lost to Sheng Yun, a rising star. Apart from being careless, this showed that Sheng Yun was not as weak as he had imagined.

However, Li Er was different from the previous two. He had already broken through the realm of sword movement and entered the stage of sword movement being light and agile. His sword moves were no longer bound by specific moves, but were done at will.

In terms of mental state, one can achieve a state of mental clarity, with a high level of concentration, where the mind is as clear as a bright mirror and not clouded by external things.

Moreover, the Jingjian Sect emphasizes speed, using speed to control movement, for speed is the only way to break through defenses!

His every move was extremely fast, and Sheng Yun simply couldn't keep up. Even if he reacted, he couldn't keep up with the speed and couldn't block it, so he could only suffer a complete defeat.

The moment the two clashed, Liu Huan had already made this judgment!

As expected, after a few moves, Sheng Yun was utterly defeated on the spot. The iron sword was held across his neck, emanating a faint killing intent, as if he would transform into a man-eating tiger and swallow him whole if he made any move at any moment.

"Ha, is this all the so-called strongest apprentice of the Bian Family Sword School is capable of?"

After easily defeating Sheng Yun, Li Er stared arrogantly at Bian Xiaotian and slowly said, "Old man, your era is over. Now it's our world!"

"It's just a pity we weren't born in the same era, otherwise I would definitely show you what a true genius is!"

Unexpectedly, his master Guo Dewei's face darkened upon hearing this, and he let out a soft snort.

Li Er's area-of-effect attack actually included him as well!

"Master, is my senior brother implying that your teaching level is high, which is why you are able to surpass your teacher?"

"That's right, Bian Xiaotian can't even get past his senior brother, how can we expect Master to intervene?"

Several apprentices nearby immediately defended Li Er, which eased Guo Dewei's expression.

Upon hearing this, Bian Xiaotian gripped his thighs tightly with both hands, his chest heaving, and he took a deep breath before regaining his composure.

The fact that he could remain calm despite being humiliated shows that his self-control has improved considerably since his younger days.

"Who's next?!"

Seeing that Bian Xiaotian did not respond, Li Er sneered and said.

He didn't even look at Liu Huan. In his eyes, Liu Huan had an ordinary temperament and did not have the unique temperament of a sword cultivator, nor the sharp edge of a sword cultivator.

In other words, they are simply insignificant ants!

In fact, this was Liu Huan's reliance in traveling through Maple Leaf Town and the Swamp Forest. If everyone could see his extraordinary abilities, he would probably have been ambushed long ago and ended up as a corpse in some stinking ditch.

Upon hearing this, Bian Jingxuan knew it was time for her to step in. This was a crucial moment concerning the family's succession, and she could not afford to hesitate in the slightest.

However, just as Bian Jingxuan was about to take up her sword and enter the arena, an unexpected hand reached out and firmly pressed down on the iron sword at her waist.

A gentle voice immediately followed: "Junior, you called me here for this, right?"

"In that case, I'll take care of it!"

When Bian Jingxuan turned around, she realized that Liu Huan was holding the hilt of her sword with one hand, preventing her from drawing it.

"That's right. I thought you were very interested in swords back then, and considering the aura you inadvertently revealed that day, I guessed you must be a powerful sword cultivator."

"However, this must be just my overthinking. Senior, you probably don't know any martial arts at all. I was being presumptuous!"

Bian Jingxuan's pretty face showed apology.

From the sharp glint in Liu Huan's eyes just now, Bian Jingxuan already knew that her senior was probably just a swordsmanship enthusiast, and that the aura he unintentionally revealed that day must have been a misinterpretation.

After listening to Bian Jingxuan's words, Liu Huan did not refute them, but instead asked:

What are your chances of winning against him?

Bian Jingxuan gave a wry smile: "I observe that Li Er's swordsmanship has reached the realm of sword spirit, and his mental state is undoubtedly that of a guardian spirit."

"Although I have progressed through the three realms of Clarity of Mind, Guarding of Spirit, and Severing of Confusion, my swordsmanship level is still only at the level of the sword moving with the body. When my swordsmanship is inferior to my opponent's, my mental state is difficult to reverse the decline."

"I'm afraid nine out of ten times they'll lose!"

In the modern world, due to the rules of the world, people here cannot cleanse their bodies and strengthen their muscles and bones through the world's primal forces.

Therefore, the key to winning a fight lies in the level of swordsmanship and the level of mental state. Among people of the same level of swordsmanship, the one with a higher level of mental state will naturally react faster and move more nimbly, greatly increasing the probability of winning.

When one's mental state is above one's swordsmanship, one will find that while one's eyes can see through the opponent's movements, one's body cannot keep up!

This is also where Bian Jingxuan lacks confidence!

But Liu Huan is different. He has undergone four rounds of blood awakening and bone forging, and his body has become so strong that Bian Jingxuan and the others cannot even imagine it.

Liu Huan had always thought this world was just an ordinary, magic-free world, but he never expected to find such an unexpected delight as swordsmanship. He chuckled lightly.

"Since you're going to lose anyway, why don't you let me go first? I'm quite interested!"

Bian Jingxuan's beautiful eyes widened slightly, and a blush appeared on her fair and translucent skin. She parted her cherry lips slightly:

"Senior, are you serious?"

Liu Huan nodded and said, "Didn't you have high hopes for me? In that case, I don't want to let you down!"

Upon hearing this, the students of the Jingjian Sect burst into laughter and began to mock them.

"If you want to show off in front of girls, you first need to have the ability, otherwise you'll end up like Jiahao!"

"Someone who's never even held a sword dares to dream of defeating Senior Brother Li!"

"If my second senior brother Li loses, I'll swallow this iron sword right now!"

"Hey, isn't this going a bit too far?"

"What a confident young man! It's a pity he doesn't know his own limitations!"

Bian Xiaotian sighed slightly. Things had come to this point, and the closure of the Bian Family Sword Hall was inevitable.

Let the younger generation do whatever they want, he doesn't care anymore!

Li Er stood with his sword in his arms, sunlight streaming through the windows of the sword hall and falling on his ankles. His expression was indifferent, giving him the air of a master swordsman from the Mount Hua Sword Tournament.

"You can choose to believe me!"

Liu Huan took Bian Jingxuan's sword, twirled it a few times, and the blade made a soft hum as it sliced ​​through the air.

"Hey, you'd better not go! If my senior sister and I go, at least we won't lose so badly!"

Zhuang Zhixuan, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but say something.

Liu Huan ignored him and strode forward.

Zhuang Zhixuan became anxious upon seeing this. Her words were meant to make Liu Huan give up, but they had unexpectedly aroused his competitive spirit instead.

"Hmph, you fool who doesn't know what's good for you."

Li Er squinted at the scene, wondering what move he should use to defeat the enemy in one strike and leave the Bian family swordsmen with no will to resist!

Guo Dewei picked up his teacup and said to Bian Xiaotian with a smile:

"Director Bian, how about we make a bet? If your students win, I will personally contribute one million to help you renovate the sword hall."

"If you lose, you'll pass on all the true teachings of the Bian family to me?"

Upon hearing this, Bian Xiaotian's eyes flashed with a cold light, but his smile grew even brighter:

"Heh, Director Guo's wishful thinking is far-fetched. Even a toad trying to eat swan meat has to consider whether its teeth are strong enough, humph!"

Upon hearing this, Guo Dewei's face immediately darkened, and he cursed:

"You're asking for it."

After Liu Huan stepped onto the martial arts arena, he casually twirled his sword and asked, "How many strikes do you want to take from me?"

"What do you mean, 'take several sword strikes'?"

"What I mean is, how many of my moves can you withstand?"

This remark amused everyone.

"Someone who has never practiced swordsmanship actually dares to dream of defeating Senior Brother Li!"

"To be honest, I mean he doesn't have the face to go on stage at all."

A flash of anger crossed Li Er's face. "You brat, do you know what you're saying?"

Liu Huan was surprised. "I know? I usually kill chickens and dogs like you without a second thought!"

The martial artists on Earth do have a high level of mental discipline, but a high level of mental discipline doesn't mean everything!

The key to combat lies in physical fitness, techniques, experience, and mindset, especially physical fitness, as the saying goes, "One force can overcome all techniques."

When you are strong enough, you don't need to look at swordsmanship, mindset, or anything that bothers you; you can just crush it with a single punch.

After Li Er discovered that the person opposite him was arrogant and conceited, he didn't say much. Only by letting defeat shatter the opponent's unfounded confidence could he be most convincing.

He took a deep breath, a warm current sank into his dantian, his knees slightly bent, his body shaped like a crane, his spine like a large bow, and as the string twanged softly, the iron sword was already thrusting towards the enemy.

As the iron sword in Liu Huan's eyes grew larger and larger, everyone saw that Li Er's sword was about to reach his face, but Liu Huan remained unmoved, standing there dumbfounded.

Bian Jingxuan had already closed her eyes, unable to bear to look at Liu Huan's defeated and pathetic appearance. But something unexpected happened!

With everyone watching intently, Liu Huan finally moved. He slightly tilted his head to dodge the attack, and then moved his right hand.

The unsharpened iron sword touched Li Er's arm with lightning speed.

Immediately, Li Er was sent flying backward, lying on the ground clutching his arms and howling in pain.

One sword!

Liu Huan defeated the enemy with just one sword strike!

When Li Er's arm was lightly touched by the iron sword, it made a crisp sound, like the sound of beans being poured out!

Everyone gasped when they saw it. They noticed that Li Er's arm had a strange, obviously broken shape!

"Aaaaaah!!"

He hugged his right arm and howled incessantly, then collapsed onto the light wood floor.

Even Guo Dewei felt a chill upon seeing this scene!

Although he could defeat Li Er in one move, he couldn't do it as easily and effortlessly as Liu Huan.

It's even more impossible to use an unsharpened iron sword to shatter an enemy's arm into a comminuted fracture with a light touch!
