The battles in the Competition Arena are becoming increasingly intense. During the lunch break, outside of Wuhua Island, the other Six Sects remain on Huiwu Island to provide final guidance to their participating disciples, and the contestants' equipment has been adjusted as necessary.
The Loose Cultivator Alliance is now represented solely by Xu Feng, who is holding up the facade. Half-Dead Bao, showing rare enthusiasm, praises Xu Feng profusely, also commending Qin Yougong and Mo Shengyuan for their keen insight in selecting a good representative for the Loose Cultivator Alliance. Half-Dead Bao's tone fluctuates, leaving Qin Yougong and Mo Shengyuan guessing whether he is mocking or complimenting them.
They had chosen over a dozen Wolf Knights, yet only one remains before reaching the top eight. It seems a bit forced to claim they have a discerning eye for talent, which is somewhat embarrassing.
In the first match at Ring Two in the afternoon, Xu Feng will face Yi Jiuzhou from the Star River Sword Sect. According to gathered information, Yi Jiuzhou is likely the strongest contestant from the Star River Sword Sect. He has won his two elimination matches decisively and specializes in Gold Element Swordsmanship with a fierce fighting style.
"Do you want to borrow a piece of Superior Spirit Armor?" Half-Dead Bao looks at Yi Jiuzhou's information and realizes that the odds are not in their favor. However, as the leader of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, he still wants to make an effort at this last moment. "You cultivate Earth Element; wearing Superior Spirit Armor can block at least half of his attack power."
"Thank you, Alliance Leader, but I think I can handle this myself. Although Yi Jiuzhou is formidable, I may not necessarily lose to him." Xu Feng isn't trying to act tough; he simply doesn't want to owe Half-Dead Bao a favor. Accepting help can lead to complicated debts of gratitude.
"That's very good." Half-Dead Bao is somewhat surprised by Xu Feng's refusal and feels a bit disappointed. Little does he know that Xu Feng is already wearing the Superior Spirit Armor left by Yang Chenglin.
Spirit artifacts can be stored within one's body or concealed invisibly inside, making it impossible for outsiders to detect them. Last time, Qin Yougong deduced that Qin Hanwen was wearing mid-grade Spirit Armor based on various details exhibited by him.
Only three members from Star River Sword Sect made it into the top sixteen. After losing two matches in the morning, Yi Jiuzhou has become their last hope; this battle is crucial.
"Star River Sword Sect's Yi Jiuzhou versus Loose Cultivator Alliance's Yan Da." The two Swordmasters, each bearing their organization's expectations, finally step into the arena.
Yi Jiuzhou, at Foundation Establishment Late Stage, scans Xu Feng with eyes like blades as if trying to see through his soul. Then his gaze calms down; indeed, this person only possesses Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation.
"Look! The Loose Cultivator Alliance's Yan Da only has Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation!"
"What are you staring at? It's rare to see someone like him; I've been paying attention to him for a while now. This is a point of pride for our Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators."
"How did he manage that? How can he challenge someone at a higher level and succeed?"
"High-Level Cultivator is also classified, divided into licensed goods and parallel imports..." Xu Feng Foundation Establishment Stage's cultivation caused a lot of commotion in the audience, about his ability to leapfrog the enemy. In fact, there have been many versions, some of him took medicine to hide his cultivation, some of him defeated parallel imports, and some of him used black boxing and spent a lot of spiritual stones to bribe his opponents and referees. Yi Jiuzhou drew his sword, and a five-foot-long white light shot out from his storage bag, leaving a dazzling halo in Sky. The sound of drawing the sword alone was enough to prove that he was not a parallel import. This is a rare five-foot-long Medium-Grade Spirit Sword. It looks like a big silver stick lying beside you. The sword body is shaking, blurring the surrounding air. "Good guy." Xu Feng knew he had met a strong opponent. The murderous aura in this guy surpassed all previous opponents, including Fan Renjian, who is famous for showing off. Seeing that Xu Feng was already holding the sword in his hand, Yi Jiuzhou raised his sword. The next moment, a lightning-fast sword light rolled towards him, and a palm-wide sword was pulled out from Qingshi's Meeting Platform Marks, broken sounds, and stone chips flying everywhere. "Well done!" Xu Feng shouted, looking at the opponent's sword, he stabbed out with his sword. Boom, Xu Feng was knocked back five steps. Xu Feng didn't dare to take a hard blow, he just pulled out his sword and tried to divert the opponent's force direction, but Yi Jiuzhou's sword power was too strong. As soon as the two swords touched, Xu Feng was knocked back. . The sword was so powerful that everyone in the audience exclaimed, and everyone in the Loose Cultivator Alliance looked solemn. Yi Jiuzhou holds the sword with both hands, lunges sideways and holds the sword to his chest, his posture is extremely handsome. "Earth King Armor!" Xu Feng Earth Elemental Energy was released, and the whole body was surrounded by a layer of faint yellow shadow. At the same time, the spirit sword was swung out, turning from defense to offense. "Wind Slash" Yi Jiuzhou completely ignored Xu Feng's attack. He slashed head-on with his big sword and slashed down quickly. This seemingly desperate fighting style is actually very particular. Yi Jiuzhou's attack distance is greater than Xu Feng can completely kill Xu Feng with his sword in one move. Xu Feng was halfway through stabbing, knowing that the situation was unfavorable, and hurriedly stepped back with his sword. The big sword grazed Xu Feng's blade and slashed with a soft sound. Xu Feng stepped back again, ten steps in one step.
The two were now about ten meters apart. Xu Feng stopped, but a strong fighting spirit ignited in his eyes.
"What a powerful swordsmanship; Yan Da is likely to lose."
"If it were me, I doubt I could withstand even one strike."
"After all, one is at the Foundation Establishment Stage, while the other is at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment; the difference in their realms is too great."
"With just two more strikes, Yan Da will probably be defeated. It's a pity I didn't place a bet on this match..."
The audience was buzzing with discussions, but their opinions were surprisingly unanimous; they all predicted that Xu Feng would lose. The only question was how long he could last against Yi Jiuzhou.
Yi Jiuzhou was the only dual-wielding swordsman among all the participating cultivators, which was quite rare. Most cultivators, considering long-term development, would not pursue swordsmanship too much because after reaching the Golden Core stage, various magical artifacts would replace spiritual swords as the primary means of attack, while spiritual swords would become Flying Swords, serving as major tools for flight.
Those who were dedicated solely to swordsmanship undoubtedly wielded their swords with greater skill. Someone like Xu Feng, who evolved from being an advanced mortal, had much higher swordsmanship than ordinary cultivators raised in sheltered environments. However, Yi Jiuzhou was not at all inferior to Xu Feng; he started as a cultivator and was closer to the true essence of Xian Dao swordsmanship than Xu Feng.
"Excellent sword technique!" Xu Feng couldn't help but praise. Having watched Hua Du's match in the morning, he thought that although Falling Petals Nine Swords was profound, it was still a transitional product within Xian Dao; ultimately, personal cultivation played a decisive role. In contrast, Yi Jiuzhou's swordsmanship was different. Based on Xu Feng's understanding of swordsmanship, even if Yi Jiuzhou reached the Golden Core Stage, he would continue to practice his sword techniques. He was a true "sword person."
"You are not bad yourself," Yi Jiuzhou replied. A true expert can gauge depth with just a glance. In today's desolate swordsmanship world of Modern Clerk, the two felt a mutual appreciation for each other.
"Good sword," Hua Du and Cai Shujun observed from afar and nodded slightly, though it was unclear whether they were referring to Xu Feng or Yi Jiuzhou.
"Friend Yi," Xu Feng said earnestly, "regardless of the outcome of this battle, Yan Da wishes to befriend you." This was the first time Xu Feng felt a desire for friendship.
"You should first inquire about my sword; use your sword to ask," Yi Jiuzhou said as his sword began to glow brighter, preparing to strike.
"Good!" Xu Feng shouted, lightly waving his left hand, and another Medium-Grade Spirit Sword appeared in his grasp.
As Xu Feng drew both swords, the crowd below erupted in commotion. Half-Dead Bao wore a strange expression, a look of self-mockery on his face. Chu Xianhe frowned, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.
"Two Medium-Grade Spirit Swords? How is that possible!"
"Why not? As long as you have money, nothing is impossible."
"Does he look like a wealthy person to you?"
"He looks more like one than you do..."
The presence of two Medium-Grade Spirit Swords, one from Yang Chenglin and the other from Zhou Hai, was not the main reason for the cultivators' astonishment. Cultivating in the way of immortals is different from martial arts practiced by mortals; while mortals can wield dual blades freely, it is rare among cultivators. Many techniques, hand seals, and talismans require manual activation, making it exceedingly uncommon for a cultivator to choose dual swords.
Yi Jiuzhou's eyes lit up as if he had spotted an old friend after a long separation.
