Guarding Heart Sword and Nourishing Sword Technique—what of it? Since I wish to humiliate him, let’s see what I can do.
Ruo Nan
After a brief introduction, the two began their duel. Soon, the scene fell into a stalemate once again, much like when Chen Minghua had faced her earlier. Struggling with a lack of variation, after just one move, Jie Donglai found dozens of potential responses swirling in their minds. It was clear that relying solely on basic sword techniques to defeat Mistake would not suffice, unless—
Ruo Nan seemed to have an idea. With a swift motion of her left leg, she executed a feint that left Zheng Bin momentarily disoriented, completely different from what he had anticipated. That woman had indeed improved; no wonder she was hailed as a genius.
Bu Luo Zheng Bin was undeterred. With a variation of the Nourishing Sword Technique, he responded with confidence. He had never seen anything like it before; Wen Tian could make any swordplay seem extraordinary. Even the most ordinary Nourishing Sword Technique transformed under Wen Tian’s mastery into something multifaceted. How could Ruo Nan’s minor adjustments possibly intimidate him?
Zheng Bin smiled, his movements fluid and unhurried. He too adapted, and the audience watched in astonishment, unable to believe that such a simple sword technique could be executed at such a high level by both combatants. What would those True Inheritance sword techniques be like? Some spectators felt a yearning to one day become legendary figures in the cultivation world.
That woman has some talent, thought Chen Minghua, scratching his head in disbelief. He hadn’t expected Ruo Nan to progress so rapidly; just three battles had allowed her to elevate her previously weak Nourishing Sword Technique. Her understanding of her own Wrong Sword style had deepened impressively.
Indeed, there were no idle talents among them; wasn’t my senior sister Huo Lian the same?
He felt somewhat conflicted; he wanted to face her openly in battle.
That thought made him feel childish. As for the rules set by their master regarding the Tournament, it was all about winning—nothing more, nothing less.
I don’t know about that, Huo Lian shook her head, clearly unconvinced by Xiazhi. Yet Xiazhi merely smiled, not wanting to argue with her. At that moment, both of them were preoccupied with thoughts of their unknown Junior Brother.
Outside the Law Enforcement Hall, several elders gazed at the shattered life jade slips before them, remnants of disciples who had been retrieved from the depths of Yin Wind Gorge. Their bodies were cold and lifeless; the brutality of their injuries was something no one had ever witnessed before. Even the legendary Demonic Cultivator would not be so merciless.
The bodies frozen by the chilling winds had long since bled dry, as if all their blood had been forcibly drawn out through a wound.
They could barely see the entrance of Yin Wind Gorge, where the rocks bore the marks of the icy winds that struck them, leaving behind a gruesome scene that sent shivers down one's spine.
Shu Elder, if he wasn't mistaken, those people were likely the elders and disciples from Heavenly Authority Peak. How could the Grand Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall not know when they entered Yin Wind Gorge? Qian Elder asked angrily, never expecting that those individuals would commit such a heartless act against a disciple, attempting to have a new recruit killed within Yin Wind Gorge.
What was even more astonishing was that they had failed. Qian Elder found this utterly unbelievable; he knew that the punished new disciple was a genius who was highly regarded by his master. He had seen this new disciple with his own eyes and could hardly believe what had happened.
That was ten Infant Period Cultivators! Although half of them were merely at the early infant stage, one of them named Geng Di was an ancient monster of the Infant Stage, having lived for over three hundred years—twice Qian Elder's age. How could he have ended up in such a predicament?
Qian Elder feared there might be some misunderstanding. Those individuals had no ties to Heavenly Authority Peak. If Qian Elder had any evidence, he could take action against them later.
They needed to know when those people entered, but how could they see anyone coming out? Qian Elder looked at the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall, seeking an explanation from them. However, seeing them with their heads bowed and silent, he realized they probably received some benefit and wouldn’t reveal what they knew.
What had happened to the Law Enforcement Hall? Had that once-great institution decayed to such an extent? Qian Elder couldn't help but think about how his own jurisdiction had become like this.
He hesitated to consider it further. He had always upheld righteousness throughout his life, yet he never expected that his own disciples would turn out to be such unscrupulous individuals. This left him feeling powerless and disheartened. He also thought about Ru Ming, the Master of the Academy, who had done nothing since taking charge, which only deepened his despair as he walked toward the outer hall of the Law Enforcement Hall.
Seeing that Qian Elder no longer intended to pursue the matter, the other Elders breathed a sigh of relief. They all knew that if Qian Elder truly found evidence against them, it would lead to chaos beyond imagination. Now they didn’t have to worry about that; they hurried back to the demonstration site. They understood that if that new disciple hadn’t died in Yin Wind Gorge, he would surely appear in the Arena. Surviving in Yin Wind Gorge was no small feat; they wondered how much strength that little guy had left to contend with others. They certainly wouldn’t put all their eggs in one basket.
