Surprised cries rang out, as the crowd witnessed Xiao Tianyuâs seven sword lights being blocked. When the sword light came in contact with his fingers, they were all shattered.
Jiang Chen opened his eyes slowly and calmly as if he had just accomplished something trivial. âIt seems I have overestimated you,â Jiang Chen said, as he pointed his index finger at Xiao Tianyu.
âWhy has it ended like this?â Xiao Tianyu asked, dumbfounded, and that was exactly what the crowd wondered.
Lin Shuangyue and the others who had assumed that Xiao Tianyu would surely win were also dumbfounded.
âDidnât they say that the power of Jiang Chenâs Sword Doctrine hadnât reached transcendence level?
âThis isnât related to the sword, or the Sword Doctrineâs Power. Itâs just that his defensive power is too terrifying .â
âThat isnât right. If there isnât a disparity between their Sword Doctrineâs Power, how can he anticipate Xiao Tianyuâs sword moves? Itâs impossible.â
When their discussions reached Lin Shuangyueâs ears, she said, âItâs possible.â
Upon hearing her, the people in the vicinity looked at her in disbelief.
âIt demonstrates that his Sword Doctrine has surpassed Xiao Tianyuâs Sword Doctrine greatly.â
âThat is right, this is the only explanation for it.â
âBut Xiao Tianyuâs Sword Doctrine is from our academy.â
The spectators finally realized that Jiang Chen wasnât someone who just depended upon external power.
âI have to say that there isnât any more suspense left,â someone said in a low voice.
Regardless if it was Jiang Chenâs ability to anticipate Xiao Tianyuâs Sword Doctrine or his incredulous defensive power, whichever it was was already enough to determine the outcome of the fight. However, it was obvious from Xiao Tianyuâs current look that he wasnât willing to accept it. âThis isnât real!â Xiao Tianyu waved the sword in his hand and launched another fierce attack.
However, regardless of how hard he tried, Jiang Chen could still block all his attacks by using just a single finger. When the sword fell on Jiang Chenâs finger, several ripples would appear on the sword from the impact. If the crowd hadnât trusted the Extreme Doctrine Martial Arts Club, they might have suspected that Jiang Chen was using external power.
âThis is impossible. How can a four-star venerable like you possess such great defensive power?â Xiao Tianyu shouted loudly.
âWhat? Do you want us to stop so that you can call someone to come over to verify it?â Jiang Chen spoke in mockery.
A hideous look appeared on Xiao Tianyuâs face. It was he who had invited the spectators here so that they could witness his own Seven Swords Move. No one expected that the outcome would be this funny. If the fight really ended like this, Xiao Tianyu would become a laughingstock.
âI probably donât have a body on a par with yours, but my Sword Doctrine is still more powerful than yours.â Xiao Tianyu strived hard to keep his calm. When these words were heard by the spectators, many people frowned and started making guesses about what Xiao Tianyu meant by this.
âYou have really disappointed me.â Jiang Chen didnât hold any more expectations for such a sore loser.
âIf you are skilled, compete with me with sword techniques,â Xiao Tianyu spoke sharply.
âDisgraceful!â Lin Shuangyue, who was on the viewing platform, cursed him in a soft voice.
âSenior sister Lin, you canât say this. They are both swordsmen, and Jiang Chen can only convince his opponent by defeating him with sword techniques,â a fellow disciple spoke for Xiao Tianyu.
âIf that was really the case, he should have mentioned it at the start. Xiao Tianyuâs Realm Level is higher than Jiang Chen, yet he still hasnât mentioned that all along. He was even worried that Jiang Chen might ask for it.â If Lin Shuangyue hadnât wanted to witness Jiang Chenâs sword techniques, she would have left long ago.
âYou have wasted a precious chance.â On the battlefield, Jiang Chen shook his head and uttered baffling words.
âPull out your sword! You donât dare, do you?â Xiao Tianyu spoke angrily.
âI wonât unsheathe my sword for the likes of you. But I can still let you feel the disparity between us.â As Jiang Chen spoke, he extended his middle finger and interlocked two fingers to use a sword art. Jiang Chen still used the first eight moves of the Sword Scripture as before.
âIf itâs limited to just this, then you are really underestimating people too much.â Xiao Tianyu didnât take the attack seriously and even wanted to compete with Jiang Chen. Moreover, since Jiang Chen didnât have the help of his Doctrine Sword, he only managed to get the upper hand while using the First Sword Move.
âJiang Chenâs mind isnât mature enough.â The crowd had such a thought upon witnessing the change of the battle state.
It was obvious that Xiao Tianyu was looking for an excuse to step down, and the excuse he came up with was a laughable one. But Jiang Chen was still fooled by it.
Even if Jiang Chen managed to reluctantly get the victory through using sword techniques, Xiao Tianyu could then state that there was just a little disparity between them. One should never lower oneself to the same level as a rascal.
Is it limited to just this? Lin Shuangyue thought to himself.
Even though only a few people had great defensive and offensive power, Jiang Chen had resounding fame and many people held great expectations for him. But it seemed that they wouldnât get to see what they wanted.
However, after ten seconds passed, another change occurred. Jiang Chenâs sword art didnât come to a stop and its aura was like fine rain. At first, it would seem average and unconscious because Jiang Chen didnât use a Doctrine Sword. But the might of Jiang Chenâs sword moves overlapped, and as he changed the sword moves, his swordâs might was becoming greater. Countless swords appeared on the battlefield, and a spectacular scene appeared there.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
At first, Xiao Tianyu treated the attack disdainfully, but later he found dealing with it quite strenuous, and he quickly ended up sustaining injuries. However, he still persisted because he hoped to suffer a narrow defeat, which wouldnât be too disgraceful. However, Jiang Chen wouldnât fulfill his wish, and, after he had built up enough power, he used his ultimate technique.
âThe Ninth Sword Move!â As Jiang Chen used the sword arts, the swords turned into a howling wind and torrential rain, which pounced at the shocked Xiao Tianyu. Xiao Tianyu was stranded and suffered the torrential attackâs impact. A helpless expression was plastered on his face, and, as he raised his sword, he didnât even know where he should wave it. Xiao Tianyuâs hopes were quickly thwarted, and he suffered a disastrous defeat and even his sword flew out of his hand.
âHeâs too powerful!â
âHe didnât use a true sword, yet he still managed to defeat a transcendence-level Sword Doctrineâs power by depending just on master-level Sword Doctrineâs power, didnât he?â
âItâs because their Sword Doctrines are different. There are high-grade and low-grade Sword Doctrines.â
âEvery Sword Doctrine can let one use different sword techniques.â
âHowever, the Heavenly Sword Techniques arenât worth anything in front of Jiang Chen.â
âItâs the same for Constellation Palaces. There are some people with Constellation Palaces with two Qi or even four Qi, and they could use different Doctrine Methods.â
A spirited discussion arose in the Extreme Doctrine Martial Arts Club.
In a room on the viewing platforms, a person was standing before the windows, and he had witnessed everything.
âWhat an interesting youngster. Both his defensive and offensive power are great.â
The outcome of the battle was determined, and the battlefield was closed, while Xiao Tianyu was sent back to the arena.
âEven the likes of you can state that I donât deserve to join the Abundance Land Academy. I really wonder what you are depending upon? I donât have the right family background, yet you are still just a worm in my eyes.â Jiang Chen cursed him harshly.
Xiao Tianyu wanted to become famous and had wanted to use Jiang Chen as a stepping stone. At first, he caused trouble for Jiang Chen in the Abundance Land Academy, before he ran to the Tian Hu Hostel to cause trouble for him. Jiang Chen wasnât going to treat such a person leniently.
Xiao Tianyu felt too ashamed of himself and, when he suffered such hard insults, he didnât know how he should answer. In the end, it was he who had brought everything down upon himself.
âSenior brother Li wonât let you off the hook,â Xiao Tianyu spoke coldly.
Upon hearing this, the crowd in the Extreme Doctrine Martial Arts Club calmed down. Most of the people here were Abundance Land Academyâs disciples and knew who such a person was.
As for Jiang Chen, it was his second time hearing this name, and he was quite curious about him.
