â¦Meanwhile, at the Blue Rock Dojoâ¦
The crowd collected their thoughts and switched their focus onto the ravine produced by the incredible slash.
Comprehending the intent of the slash was a test of their Martial Skill Talent.
Under such circumstances, every second counted. Therefore, many among the crowd immediately sat on the ground and immersed themselves in the process of comprehending the sword intent.
âHAHA, so the trial is about comprehending sword intent!â
A loud laugh could be heard all of a sudden.
It turned out to be Wu Hao.
As a matter of fact, Wu Hao was not his actual name. However, due to his extraordinary eyes, he was able to display outstanding Martial Skill Talent, thus he had changed his surname to âWu1â.
In terms of Martial Skill Talent, if he assumed himself to be second, no one would dare to assume themselves to be first.
Zhu Hang let out a sigh of relief as he was aware of Wu Haoâs outstanding Martial Skill Talent. He was not willing to let such a precious opportunity go.
Gong Yang wore a grin on his face.
He clearly knew about Wu Haoâs outstanding Martial Skill Talent. But how would he be able to compete against Qin Nan?
Qin Nanâs Martial Skill Talent was surely the best in the entire Canglan Continent, let alone the Eastern Continent of the upper district! It was as if the trial had been specifically prepared for him!
âMm? Why is Gong Yang being so carefreeâ¦â
Wu Haoâs heart sank seeing Gong Yangâs reaction. Did he have a plan to counter his participation?
Rationally speaking, Gong Yang should know that his Martial Skill Talent was no match against his. Therefore, did it mean that he was extremely confident in the young man standing beside him?
Wu Hao glimpsed at Qin Nan before shaking his head.
He shouldnât be overthinking!
The objective now was to comprehend the sword intent!
Following this, Wu Hao, Zhu Hang, Gong Yang, and Qin Nan began to sit on the ground and comprehend the sword intent.
However, unlike the others, Qin Nanâs left eye remained open, staring at the ravine.
âThe sword intent is extremely ferocious, with the might of a dragon. As such, the power of the sword intent is able to last for a significant period, but itâs completely different from the saber intent left by the Three-Sabered Sacred, a completely different styleâ¦ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Qin Nan quickly thought.
His understanding of the sword intent gradually became clearer.
The entire dojo fell silent as each cultivator was busy comprehending the sword intent.
The Blind Swordsman sat still at the entrance of the cave.
Time gradually passed.
One incenseâs durationâ¦
Two incensesâ durationâ¦
Three incensesâ durationâ¦
After the period it took ten incenses to burn, two auras burst out at the same time, each with a formidable sword intent similar to the one left by the Blind Swordsman.
The dojo exploded as if a fiery dragon had dived into a calm lake.
âSomeone has finished in just the period it took ten incenses to burn! And there are two of them!â
âItâs Wu Hao! His Martial Skill Talent is indeed impressive! Butâ¦whoâs that guy?â
âI donât know! I think heâs the one that came with Senior Brother Yang Gong! His Martial Skill Talent is comparable to Wu Haoâs!â
The eyes of the crowd sprang open as they stared at Qin Nan with utter astonishment.
A Martial Skill Talent on par with Wu Haoâs; wasnât this person a little bit too terrifying?
Wu Hao and Zhu Hang were astonished too.
The outcome had definitely taken them by surprise!
âYang Gong!â Wu Haoâs face darkened as he let out a hollow laugh, âYour friendâs Martial Skill Talent is comparable to mine. How impressive!â
Wu Hao finally understood the reason why Gong Yang had been so calm since the beginning of the trial!
However, Gong Yangâs face was filled with astoundment too. His gaze toward Qin Nan was filled with doubts.
What was going on?
Wu Haoâs Martial Skill Talent was comparable to Qin Nanâs?
That was impossible!
Qin Nanâs Martial Skill Talent had even caused the Reaperâs Platform to explode!
âSilence,â The Blind Swordsman said calmly, âSince the two of you have comprehended the sword intent, itâs time to see whose sword intent is stronger.â
The crowd immediately became quiet as everyone stared at Wu Hao and Qin Nan.
Even though they were quite disappointed with the outcome, they were eager to know who out of the two would end up winning the trial.
âHey, whatâs your name? Youâre the only one that can match my Martial Skill Talent in the entire Eastern Continent. You should be proud of yourself! That being said, the victory is still mine!â
Wu Haoâs eyes emitted a crimson glow.
He pointed his finger at the dojo and swiped it across.
ROAR!
A powerful sword intent was unleashed, slashing toward the dojo with a tremendous force.
The sword intent from the ravine produced by the slash was similar to the Blind Swordsmanâs slash, only with a slightly weaker power.
âHow strong!â
The crowd was dumbfounded.
Within just the period it had taken ten incenses to burn, Wu Hao had almost mastered the move by the Blind Swordsman.
âYour turn!â Wu Hao wore a satisfied look. With his performance, it was impossible for him to be defeated by the young man.
Qin Nan stepped forward and wore a calm expression under the crowdâs gaze.
He did not make his move straight away, but rather brought his fists together facing the Blind Swordsman, âSenior, Iâve got something to say. Iâm not a sword artist, but a saber artist, soâ¦â
BANG!
A terrifying aura burst out from the Blind Swordsmanâs figure.
The snow flakes above him were separated into two sides instead of falling in front of him as if they had been slashed in half by a sword.
The terrifying aura immediately locked onto Qin Nanâs figure!
âHuh? Are you looking down on sword arts? What good are sabers! Swords are the kings of all weapons!â
The Blind Swordsman uttered the words like claps of thunder.
The aura swept the place, as if an enormous city was pressing down onto the crowdâs shoulders, which placed them on the verge of dropping to their knees.
Without a doubt, Qin Nanâs words had caused the Blind Swordsman to feel sour.
He had been a sword buff his entire life, and he slightly despised those who used sabers.
Qin Nanâs expression remained unchanged.
The aura alone was not enough to surprise him.
âSenior, please donât misunderstand. It doesnât matter if itâs a sword or a saber, the one using them is more important,â Qin Nan brought his fists together and said, âI just wanted to clarify that Iâm not a sword-user, thus I wouldnât be able to unleash a sword intent. I can only alter your sword intent into my own saber intent!â
Qin Nan raised his finger and swiped across.
An icy glow was unleashed.
The powerful slash immediately tore the dojo in half, with a lingering saber intent similar to the Blind Swordsmanâs sword intent. Meanwhile, its power was on par with Wu Haoâs slash!
âThisâ¦â
At that instant, everyone including Wu Hao was left in awe.
Areâ¦
Are you kidding me!
This person had not only comprehended the sword intent, but had altered it to become his own saber intent within the period it took ten incenses to burn?
How terrifying was his Martial Skill Talent!
It was obvious who had won the trial!
