Ming Yu followed the movements in his memory and slowed down. Step by step, he deduced the sword art.

His movements were clearly very slow, but an invisible sword force appeared around his body. The fallen leaves around him even moved without wind as they circled around Ming Yu. It continued like this for nearly an hour.

Suddenly, the sword moves in Ming Yu's hands became faster and the sword moved around like a dragon or snake. The speed became faster and faster. With every thrust of his sword, there would be a condensed sword qi.

Until the sixth strike came back, Ming Yu suddenly attacked with all his might. He turned around and slashed with his sword, and with a "Hua" sound, the seventh killing blow fused into the Laryngeal Sealing Sword, causing the sword edge to tremble.

Ming Yu turned his wrist, and another killing blow fell onto the sword. However, the sword qi suddenly became disorderly, and the Laryngeal Sealing Sword flew out from Ming Yu's hand. With a "clang", it stabbed into the ground and did not move at all.

"It seems that with my own killing intent and Sword Intent, I can only condense seven killing strikes. If I want to cultivate to the ninth stage, I'll probably need to fight a lot more!"

Ming Yu's eyes flashed. He suddenly remembered the gambling den.

Universal Chamber of Commerce being easily exposed one's identity was not the best choice, but if one could enter the gambling arena, then not only could they take this opportunity to hone their sword skills, they could also win over Black Jade and buy the Scarlet Gold Blood Lingzhi for their mother!

Ming Yu had no reason not to be moved.

As he thought about it, he kept his Laryngeal Sealing Sword and returned to his room to rest. He adjusted himself to his peak state and left the palace early the next morning, heading towards the explosive Underground Imperial City.

The Underground Imperial City was located on the southwest side of the Great King Ming Dynasty. Because it was built thirty meters below the ground and had a huge surface, it looked like a city.

There were a lot of people who participated in Underground Imperial City gambling with each other. Although it was early in the morning, the Underground Imperial City was still bustling with noise and excitement.

There were two entrances to the Underground Imperial City. One entrance was for spectators, and the other was for participants.

Ming Yu arrived at the contestant's entrance and walked down the stairs. On both sides of the long and wide tunnel, there were only faint lights and they were quite dim. Faintly, he could hear the screams coming from deep underground.

After turning the last corner, Ming Yu pushed open a heavy metal door and a brightly lit field appeared in front of him.

There were gray and black arenas in front of him, and scenes of fighting were playing out on them. Around those arenas, the audience was holding their arms up to cheer for them, and waves of shouts and cries for battle poured into Ming Yu's ears.

After paying the admission fee, according to the staff member's notification, Ming Yu quickly arrived at the contestant waiting room on the second floor.

There was a large window in front of the waiting room, allowing one to clearly see the battles on the first floor.

Because there were too many contestants, there were only two people in each waiting room. When Ming Yu entered, he saw a short and stout youth in his twenties, Mo Yue.

The young man had a head full of short hair and his small eyes rolled around. When he saw Ming Yu, he walked over cordially and said, "Brother, are you here to participate in the gambling match as well? "Hehe, I'm Zhou Kai, what's your name?"

"My name is Ming Yu." Ming Yu answered in a simple and clean manner, not moved by Zhou Kai's enthusiasm.

Zhou Kai clearly didn't know him, so it was a bit fake for him to be so passionate from the start.

Zhou Kai said, "Oh, oh, so it's like that. Have you decided on who you want to bet with yet? You reached the first Peak of the Fourth Layer as well? "

"I just entered the fourth stage of the Mortality Transcending Stage a few days ago." With a faint smile, Ming Yu answered honestly.

He patted Ming Yu's shoulder, shook his head and said, "Brother, this Underground Imperial City is not a place you should be. To be honest, you still need to work hard."

"Just now, when I defeated a Mortality Transcending Stage rank one martial artist of the same realm as me, guess how many moves did I use?" Zhou Kai asked proudly.

To be honest, Ming Yu didn't want to guess how many moves Zhou Kai had used, but he didn't want to embarrass him by saying, "How many moves?"

"I only used ten moves."

Zhou Kai crossed his index finger and drew a "10", and then placed his hand on Ming Yu's shoulder, saying sincerely: "So, what do I want to tell you? Being gifted is not scary at all, what's scary is someone who is talented, someone who is even more hardworking than you. Something like being talented, you can't get it, but you can choose to work harder, this way, one day, you will also have my achievements. "

Zhou Kai was originally half a head shorter than Ming Yu, so when Zhou Kai rested his hand on Ming Yu's shoulder like this, Ming Yu felt very uncomfortable.

Ming Yu lightly dodged and freed Zhou Kai's hand from his grasp.

Seeing that Ming Yu did not even bother listening to him, Zhou Kai did not have a smile on his face anymore, and coldly said: "Bro, I'm not talking about you, you really do not know how dangerous Underground Imperial City is, hurting an arm and a leg here is a small matter, but there are still a lot of people who have lost their lives."

"If I were you, I would have just waited until the first Peak of the Fourth Layer of the Mortality Transcending Stage to start the gambling match. You coming over here right now is basically courting death."

Through their short interaction, Ming Yu had already completely understood Zhou Kai's personality that he was boasting about. According to Ming Yu's temper, he should have long fallen out with him, but he had endured it now as he still wanted to know some of the rules of Underground Imperial City.

Then, he asked patiently: "Then Big Brother Zhou, what are the rules of this tournament? Do you understand?"

Zhou Kai suddenly felt proud: "You're lucky to have asked the right person. In this aspect, I have a lot more experience than you."

"In the gatekeeping competition, the gatekeeper can choose the number of times to stand guard. For example, if you choose five times, you will have to accept five challengers. Each challenger will challenge themselves, and the challenge bet will become bigger and bigger. "I have a record of six consecutive victories in a row. You might think I'm very powerful, but I feel like that's all. I haven't been able to perform at a normal level."

Ming Yu frowned and asked patiently, "Then can there be no restrictions to the gala?"

"About this, of course it's impossible. Within this Underground Imperial City, once you have more than ten matches to defend the arena, the Underground Imperial City will personally send people to challenge you. Those who can hold on to the ten times are all godly people. You can't even do it on the first try, so there's no use talking to you about these things. "

While speaking, Zhou Kai noticed the trace of arrogance in Ming Yu's eyes and could not help but sneer in his heart.

Hmph, you still aren't listening to me? You think too highly of yourself. When you enter the arena and are beaten half to death, let's see if you still have this kind of arrogance.

"Thirty-five Arena, empty spot. Defender, Wu Tong, Mortality Transcending Stage fifth stage, defending eight times. Next time, three hundred thousand Black Jade!"

Suddenly, a loud announcement came from the broadcast, interrupting the conversation between Ming Yu and Zhou Kai.

Ming Yu looked down and saw that arena No. 35 was completely surrounded by a crowd. In the middle of the crowd, a bald burly man was sitting cross-legged, holding two iron chains in his hands. He was holding a three-hundred-pound Meteor Hammer, closed his eyes and quietly waited.

There were some wounds on his body, but they were rapidly healing, and the blood in his body was rapidly recovering.

Once one reached the fifth stage of shedding, their entire body would be as hard as steel and they would have extremely strong regenerative powers.

Furthermore, Wu Tong had already reached the fifth level of Mortality Transcending Stage!

He was just sitting on the ground, breathing in and out with his deep and heavy heartbeat. He was like a sleeping Giant Beast, just looking at him made people feel fearful.

People secretly discussed. Whoever could take five moves from Wu Tong would be an outstanding expert. If they could take ten moves from Wu Tong, that would be abnormal.

Only after Wu Tong had fought more than ten matches would someone from Underground Imperial City personally challenge him. However, within the ten matches, Wu Tong had yet to meet his match!

Ming Yu was observing himself. However, Zhou Kai, who was at the side, thought that Ming Yu was scared silly when he saw this powerful opponent. Immediately, a disdainful smile flashed across his face.

"Are you afraid now? If you are truly brave, then go for broke! "

After saying that, Zhou Kai leaped down from the window. With a "dong" sound, it raised a cloud of dust and landed steadily on the 35th arena!

Everyone couldn't help but feel dissatisfied, they didn't expect Zhou Kai to beat them to it.

It was the perfect opportunity to spar with Wu Tong. Even if they fought a few times, it would still benefit them greatly. Their martial arts would greatly improve.

Although he spent three hundred thousand Black Jade s for the challenge, Zhou Kai, as a rich merchant's son, did not care about this small amount of money. What he cared about was being able to learn from He Wu Tong's exchange and improve his combat experience.

Wu Tong was already forty years old, and regardless of cultivation or battle experience, he was extremely powerful. If Zhou Kai could last ten moves against Wu Tong, then Zhou Kai would announce in front of everyone that he was a genius and that his future was limitless.

In the future, Zhou Kai would definitely enter the top fifty thousand ranks of the Great Wu Dynasty's elite rankings.

Therefore, being able to withstand ten moves from Wu Tong was a type of supreme honor!

"How many moves do you think Zhou Kai can endure?" Someone commented.

"Let me see, three moves."

"That might not be the case. Even if Zhou Kai is Peak of the Fourth Layer number one, Wu Tong has fought nine consecutive nights and his stamina has decreased. In my opinion, for Zhou Kai to be able to endure eight moves is already quite good."

Many people were talking about it before the battle began.

"The ninth match of the tournament shall begin now!"

With a command from the host, arena thirty-five officially welcomed this battle!

In the arena, Zhou Kai flicked his wrist and two snow-white sabers appeared in his hands. With a smile, he said, "Old thing, let me end you today."

The next moment, Zhou Kai shot out like a cannonball. Circulating his zhen qi, he climbed onto the edge of the blade and immediately slashed out with both blades horizontally. The moment he started, he unleashed a powerful killing move.

In front of Wu Tong, reserving his strength was a joke. Only when he used his full strength would he be able to last a bit longer in front of Wu Tong.

"Broken Mountain Break!"

This Splitting Mountain was a Spirit Level Middle Grade Martial Technique that Zhou Kai was extremely proficient in using. It was as if the air was sliced open, and in the next instant, the two cold blades arrived in front of Wu Tong.

Wu Tong, who was sitting cross-legged, did not move at all. He threw out a meteor hammer and the two blades collided.

Zhou Kai snorted coldly. He turned over his wrist and was about to chop again, but Wu Tong suddenly stood up. His two hands met Zhou Kai's two sabers and held them tightly in his hands.

"What?"

No one would have thought that Wu Tong would use his two hands to snatch the twin blades in Zhou Kai's hands, but Wu Tong was a powerhouse at the peak of the fifth stage of Mortality Transcending Stage, a powerhouse that could not be penetrated.

The next moment, Wu Tong raised his foot and kicked towards Zhou Kai's chest angrily. It turned out that Wu Tong had pretended to be injured just for this one strike!

However, Zhou Kai's reaction was extremely fast. In the next moment, he gave up on his dual sabers and met it with a punch.

"Bam!"

Zhou Kai and Wu Tong's fists and feet collided crazily. In a short moment, Zhou Kai was beaten until he was forced to retreat. However, he did not fall down. He was still bitterly holding on!

People couldn't help praising him. This Zhou Kai was indeed a talent that could be molded. He was only in his early twenties, yet he could endure so many moves from Wu Tong. His future was limitless!
