"It seems that everyone has no objections, so the five of us will have a good battle to determine the rankings of each peak." Wei Ziqi looked at the other four, his fighting spirit ignited.
"Since we are here, naturally there are no objections." The other four exchanged glances, all wearing smiles and filled with confidence.
"Haha, then I'll go first. I wonder if Ren Shidi from Azure Cloud Peak is interested; let's have a match." Kong Zhan had an enthusiastic expression, clearly very interested in Ren Pingsheng.
"Oh, there's nothing wrong with that. Please enlighten me, Kong Shixiong." Ren Pingsheng looked at the sturdy young man before him, who stood eight feet tall, and without hesitation, agreed.
"I wouldn't dare to say 'enlighten,' but I won't hold back, so be careful."
"This guy is just a battle maniac; once he finds someone interesting, he won't let go. We've been bothered by him for quite a while!" Wei Ziqi said with a wry smile after stepping down from the Dueling Platform.
"I'm not any different. Just because my ranking is slightly higher than his, he comes looking for me to spar. Fortunately, he's found someone else interesting now; he shouldn't disturb my training anymore." Liu Wuyun also said with an annoyed expression.
"I didn't expect those two to start first. It's a good opportunity to see how their strengths measure up." Fei Hou watched the stage with serious eyes.
Both on stage wore solemn expressions, knowing their opponent was not easy to deal with, so they focused intently on each other without daring to slack off.
"Ren Shidi, be careful; this is a set of Mountain Sword Technique I learned earlier." Kong Zhan's sword shimmered with spiritual light as he moved and struck downwards. The sword created gusts of wind that rushed towards Ren Pingsheng, making his clothes flutter.
"Such speed! It seems this person has also practiced Movement Technique; indeed, I cannot underestimate him." Ren Pingsheng took a deep breath and instantly infused his sword with Spiritual Energy. He circulated his Spiritual Energy and directly blocked the opponent's attack.
Feeling the weight in his sword hand, he was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected his opponent to possess such strength. It seemed he also practiced Body Refinement Technique and had achieved certain results.
Seeing that Ren Pingsheng had blocked his attack without hesitation, Kong Zhan moved again using Movement Technique and slashed from the side.
"It seems if Huang Qing had come up earlier, he would have been completely outmatched." Ren Pingsheng sidestepped to avoid the attack. With a flick of his wrist, his sword shot towards Kong Zhan's chest like a streak of light. He didn't use any Sword Technique; it was just a direct thrust but incredibly fast.
Kong Zhan's expression changed slightly. He had known before that his opponent's sword speed was very fast, but he had not experienced it firsthand, so he did not have an intuitive understanding of its impact. Now that he was in the midst of it, he realized how formidable it was.
Without hesitation, he retreated swiftly to dodge the strike, then executed the Movement Technique, launching another sword attack. Clearly, he understood the advantage of strength; each move flowed seamlessly into the next, continuously attacking.
"Indeed, my strength cannot surpass that of the young master. The techniques of the Mountain Slashing Family are quite exquisite. The application of strength is more direct and effective than what I learned from the Mountain Slashing Family Technique before." After taking on a dozen strikes from his opponent, Ren Pingsheng felt a slight numbness in his palm.
The Moon-Slaying Sword Technique emphasized an unstoppable momentum, while this Sword Technique focused on overpowering the opponent with brute force.
"Rather than using skill to break strength, I might as well leverage my opponent's pressure to see if I can break through the first layer of the Nine Turns Body Refinement Technique. Even if I can't advance further, it would still be beneficial."
With this thought in mind, Ren Pingsheng changed his Sword Technique and directly engaged in a contest of strength with his opponent using the Slashing Mountain Sword Technique. Their swords frequently crossed in mid-air, the sounds stimulating the disciples on the various peaks below. Watching this simple yet brutal match made everyone feel even more excited and passionate.
"This guy's family technique has improved; his strength has increased significantly compared to last time." Wei Ziqi's expression was somewhat grave. He had previously sparred with Kong Zhan several times. Now seeing his opponent stronger than before made him feel uneasy about their chances in battle.
"What concerns me more is that guy from Azure Cloud Peak. He has been holding his own against that madman Kong Zhan for such a long time without falling behind; it's truly incredible!" Fei Hou's eyes flashed with surprise.
"Haha, this is exhilarating! This kind of fighting is interesting. Previously, when I dueled with those pretty boys, they were all just dodging around and didn't even have the courage to fight back." Although Kong Zhan's breathing was somewhat ragged, his fighting spirit remained undiminished. However, his words left Fei Hou and others below with bitter smiles.
"Take my move 'Power Split Mountain!'" Kong Zhan raised his Black Iron Wood Sword high, spiritual energy surging as a sharp aura gathered, clearly indicating that this move held considerable power.
"I didn't expect him to have mastered a killing move; one must not underestimate anyone." Ren Pingsheng's expression shifted slightly. He had not had time to study the Flying Spirit Sword Technique recently, so he had not practiced the subsequent three killing moves.
However, he had at least practiced it before and had some foundation. Plus, he had long memorized the moves and their execution paths. As he recalled them in his mind, he immediately raised his hand and executed 'Flying Spirit Slash.'
This somewhat unfamiliar move naturally carried significant power. Fortunately for him, his opponent had just mastered it as well; its power was average too, resulting in a stalemate where neither gained an advantage.
Seeing that it was effective, Ren Pingsheng decided not to delay any longer. With a flick of his sword and a turn of spiritual energy, a hazy sword light erupted that dazzled the eyes and obscured reality from illusion—this was the first killing move of the Flying Spirit Sword Technique: 'Flying Spirit Illusion.' Seizing this opportunity, he unleashed it all at once.
Kong Zhan was immediately engulfed in sword light and felt a tingling sensation on his scalp as he struggled to discern reality from illusion. Without daring to hesitate, he swung his Black Iron Wood Sword forward with a breaking momentum, hoping to dispel his opponent's sword light; otherwise, the situation would become dire for him.
"Not good!" With a powerful strike missing its target, Kong Zhan's expression changed dramatically as he exerted force with his legs to retreat.
Ren Pingsheng had anticipated this situation long ago. Amidst the hazy sword light, a flash of Ghostly Light appeared. It seemed to have bypassed the senses of the eyes, directly hitting Kong Zhan when he was unable to react.
This second move of the Flying Spirit Sword Technique, 'Flying Spirit Flash,' emphasized speed and a lethal strike, perfectly complementing the first move 'Flying Spirit Illusion' which was meant to confuse, killing without a trace.
"Thank you for your guidance," Ren Pingsheng said calmly as he sheathed his sword.
"Cough... I didn't expect my junior brother's swordsmanship to be so advanced. You've mastered the Flying Spirit Sword Technique to this level; I admit defeat this time. However, once I become an outer disciple, let's have a proper sparring session," Kong Zhan said, rubbing his slightly painful chest, showing no signs of disappointment but rather his eyes shining with excitement.
"Uh, sure!" Ren Pingsheng replied somewhat taken aback. For some reason, he felt like he had gotten himself into a troublesome situation.
"Haha, Brother Ren is impressive! Your strength is indeed formidable; you won this match so easily," cheered a disciple from Qingyun Peak.
"With Brother Ren here, it seems our peak's ranking will definitely not be low," another disciple chimed in.
However, the disciples from Cangyun Peak looked somewhat grim. After all, they had lost this match, and if they lost again in the next round, their ranking would likely be at risk.
"It seems this match was won by Brother Ren, who is clearly superior. Now, let's see who will come up next for a spar," Wei Ziqi from Wangyun Peak said as he jumped onto the duel platform after the two had exited.
"Then let us have a match! I've heard much about you, Brother Wei; after all, you're ranked thirteenth on the leaderboard. I've been wanting to challenge you," Liu Wuyun from Liuyun Peak followed him onto the duel platform. It seemed that these two were going to compete now.
"Hehe, I will be using the 'Gentle Cloud Sword Technique.' I've heard that Brother Wei's 'Cloak Sword Technique' has also reached a certain level; let's see who is stronger," Liu Wuyun said.
"Then I won't hold back. I'm also eager to witness Brother Liu's Gentle Cloud Sword Technique," Wei Ziqi replied before they both unsheathed their swords and began to fight fiercely.
The sword techniques used by both were unfamiliar to Ren Pingsheng. It seemed that these individuals had significant backgrounds and were not ordinary disciples.
Liu Wuyun's Gentle Cloud Sword Technique focused on being both real and illusory, hiding lethal intent within its transformations. It was like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, delivering a fatal strike when one was most careless. This bore similarities to the 'Flying Spirit Illusion' of the Flying Spirit Sword Technique.
Wei Ziqi's cape sword technique was characterized by wide, sweeping movements, with sword energy crisscrossing, leaving no opportunity for the opponent to close in. With a single slash, he forced his opponent to evade and retreat, resulting in a stalemate between the two.
"‘Cape Slash’!" Seeing the situation turning unfavorable, Wei Ziqi directly unleashed his killing move. His sword technique required significant spiritual energy due to its expansive nature, so he was unwilling to wait any longer.
In an instant, Liu Wuyun's figure flickered as he narrowly dodged Wei Ziqi's attack. He immediately closed in, taking advantage of Wei Ziqi's excessive energy consumption, relentlessly intensifying his assault and leaving no chance for a counterattack. Wei Ziqi's sword technique was not suited for defense, and it wasn't long before he was defeated.
"Haha, it seems I can finally have a match with that kid Wei Ziqi," Kong Zhan said with a broad smile while standing next to Ren Pingsheng. It was clear he enjoyed battling those who relied on brute strength.
"His sword technique is quite good; it's just that he's been countered by Liu Wuyun. If both sides were at a higher level, it would be hard to say who would win," Ren Pingsheng remarked as he watched the two on stage.
"Hmph, that pretty boy Liu Wuyun is just dodging around. If he dared to face me head-on, I would knock him down with a single strike," one of the disciples from Cangyun Peak said.
Ren Pingsheng chuckled but remained silent; they were simply on different paths, and their fighting styles naturally differed—no one could force the other to change.
"Brother Liu's sword technique is indeed impressive. Once my sword technique reaches perfection, we should have a match then; I will win back my honor," Wei Ziqi said, not one to hold grudges about losing.
"I couldn't ask for more; however, I will still win when that time comes," Liu Wuyun replied with a smile.
"Hmph, this time our Liuyun Peak must rank ahead of your Cangyun Peak," a disciple from Liuyun Peak said happily.
"What’s there to be happy about? This was just luck; next time we will win again," a disciple from Cangyun Peak retorted defiantly.
