Chen Hua suffered a narrow defeat at the hands of Ruo Nan. Had he not chosen to challenge Ruo Nan directly, but instead waited for the end of the Tournament to seize an opportunity, he likely would have had a great chance to secure a position as a True Disciple. Bu Luo acknowledged this, stating, "I don't deny it." Despite his loss, Chen Hua knew that he was not far from breaking through to the Golden Period Scripture.
In cultivation, it is essential to follow one's heart and seek the true intentions within. In this regard, Chen Hua excelled; he could be said to surpass anyone else. He never deliberately sought to please anyone nor did he reject anyone. He simply did his best to help others, viewing them as good people in his eyes, even if they were just ordinary individuals. That was Chen Hua—true to his heart.
The method of using the Guarding Heart Sword was no different. How could an ordinary Medium-Grade Spirit Tool shine so brightly in Chen Hua's hands? It was because his mind was clear and he remained true to himself, allowing the Guarding Heart Sword to unleash its full power. This was what enabled him to hold his ground against Ruo Nan, ultimately losing only when his spiritual energy ran out.
That match in Dong Lai allowed everyone to see that Chen Hua had indeed mastered his swordsmanship, showcasing Ruo Nan's unfathomable strength. If one were to discuss who was superior or inferior, Chen Hua's defeat served as the best proof in many people's eyes—there was no need for further words.
"This child is quite remarkable," Elder Yue praised, nodding in approval. "He is neither arrogant nor impatient; he takes steady steps forward, truly commendable."
In his view, that girl was also impressive; she had won three battles in a row and had done so using the Guarding Heart Sword and Nourishing Sword Technique. The essence of those techniques seemed to be understood by Little Girl. Another elder praised Ruo Nan, contrasting Elder Yue's sentiments.
At that moment, a disciple from the Black-Clad Enforcement Hall approached Elder Qian and spoke softly. The other elders were unaware of what exactly was said; the Law Enforcement Hall possessed secret sound transmission techniques to prevent eavesdropping.
Before anyone could inquire further, they noticed Elder Qian's expression suddenly change, as if something terrible had occurred. It is known that cultivation emphasizes a calm mind and tranquility; no cultivator at Elder Qian's level would suddenly swing from joy to sorrow without reason. Clearly, the news had a significant impact on him and did not seem like good news.
Gasping, Chen Hua returned nonchalantly to Huo Lian's side. Upon seeing Xiazhi and the senior sister, he couldn't help but smile as he wiped the sweat from his brow. That battle had lasted a full hour, leaving him feeling exhausted and slightly drained; even his sword arm trembled uncontrollably.
However, Chen Hua felt somewhat embarrassed because he realized that everyone's attention was not on him but rather directed toward the distant spectator stands, as if something interesting had occurred there. All their faces bore expressions of curiosity.
"What happened?"
Chen Hua turned to look at the stands and noticed an elder hurriedly leaving as if something urgent had transpired. Liu Dong was presiding over a demonstration with several older elders present while the disciples competing in the East remained oblivious; however, Bu Luo and the observing disciples were keenly aware of everything happening around them.
Sigh, sigh, sigh, some people said to those around them, could it be related to that person?
Shh.
I better not speak carelessly; many Elders might not want to see this situation.
We wondered what those Elders were afraid of. What could one person do? Even if we gave him another ten years, what would change?
Cut it out. Even if I had another ten years, I might not be able to break through the Golden stage.
Zheng Bin, I will go challenge that woman. I don't expect her to take it easy on me. Just remember to use the Nourishing Sword Technique, the Senior Sister instructed.
Alright, Zheng Bin replied and then made his way to the Arena. "Junior Brother Zheng Bin has come to seek guidance from Senior Sister."
Seeing Zheng Bin approach, Ruo Nan felt a flicker of anticipation, thinking that finally, those related to Xuan Shidi would show up. But when Zheng Bin drew a Guarding Heart Sword and held it in front of his chest, Ruo Nan's face turned pale. No matter how composed she was, she couldn't withstand repeated humiliation. She was determined to win everyone's respect and admiration; at this moment, she absolutely could not give up halfway.
