C148 You Won!

On the arena? Inherited the supreme sword intent? Increase strength?

Han Shizhong's words brought Jian Ao back to his senses. Indeed, that was the case. They were not even swordsmen now, so it was useless to say these things. Since it was useless, it would be a waste of time and energy to say more. It was better to increase his strength as soon as possible.

The most direct way to increase one's cultivation was to increase one's cultivation. Once one's cultivation base advanced, the amount of True Qi would also increase. When facing an enemy, it was simply an existence that could instantly kill the opponent in one move. Therefore, cultivation was the foundation of one's strength. Most people would look at one's strength first by looking at one's cultivation base.

Their current cultivation base had yet to solidify. After building a good foundation, they would strive for improvement. Most of them did not want their cultivation base to progress too quickly, so they needed to increase their strength from other aspects.

For example, increasing their sword skill proficiency, combat skills, or comprehending some Sword Dao Stage.

This cave had a place that could help them increase their strength. That was to enter the arena, fight in a competition, and win the first place. After that, they would inherit the supreme Slaughter Sword Intent of the Sword Sect!

"Who among you wants to fight for the chance to inherit this supreme Sword Intent?!"

Han Shizhong turned his head and asked the crowd. Easy to approach! Even though he was the head disciple of the outer circle disciples and the son of the Sect Chief, he still respected everyone and discussed matters with them. From this point of view, if he was appointed as the Sect Chief of the Heavenly Sword Sect in the future, he would definitely be a good Sect Chief.

Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they wouldn't fight for it. What a joke. They knew very well how strong they were. Although their realms were the same, and even higher than Jian Ao's, they all knew that if they really fought, they definitely wouldn't be a match for Jian Ao and his sword. The difference in strength was just too great!

Besides, Jian Ao was their saviour. If it wasn't for the latter, they would all have died here. In terms of feelings and reason, withdrawing was the best choice.

"What about you, Ms Ning?" Jian Ao asked Ning Ming.

If there was anyone else here who could threaten Jian Ao and Ms Ning, Ning Ming would be the first to bear the brunt of it. No matter if it was her cultivation base or Sword Dao Stage, they were not inferior to Han Shizhong. She was definitely a powerful competitor.

Ning Ming shook her head and said with a smile, "Sister, I will not participate. You two big men are fighting. It's not good for sister, me, and a little girl to participate! Coincidentally, the two of you are the number one in the outer sect. The other is the number one new disciple. This competition will decide who is the true outer circle disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect!"

" Yes, yes. " Han Shizhong nodded and said, "Perfect, I've been the number one outer circle disciple for quite a few years now. It was time to abdicate. After this trip to Blood Sword Pond, I intend to break through to become a sword master. Enter the inner sect. I just didn't expect to meet a junior brother like you when I entered the inner sect. That's good too. Fighting with you might be helpful for my future cultivation. "

Jian Ao said with a smile. "I won't let you down!"

After saying that, both of their bodies were as weightless as a swallow, and they steadily landed on the arena.

As they shuttled through the arena, Jian Ao felt as if there was some kind of brilliance. From inside to outside, from his meridians to his bones, it was all tested on him. Just like the detector from his previous life, nothing was spared.

"Perhaps this is the Barrier mentioned on the stone tablet. Its purpose is to find the Barrier. It's to test whether we meet the standards or not, and whether our age and cultivation base have exceeded the standards. "

However, that feeling caused him to feel extremely displeased. It was as if all secrets had been seen through and exposed. There was no need for him to hide anything.

Han Shizhong, who was opposite him, also frowned. Clearly, he was also uncomfortable.

"Junior Brother Jian, I won't show mercy to you. I will do my best. This is my respect and responsibility to you!" Han Shizhong said coldly.

"Take out your sword!"

"Ci!"

A dazzling sword light flashed. Jian Ao could only feel his consciousness blurring. There was only a flash of white light in front of him. When he regained his sight, Han Shizhong was already close to him. The tip of the sword was only a step away from him.

"What a fast speed of drawing the sword!"

If it was anyone else, they might have been frightened and lost the opportunity to fight.

However, Han Shizhong was facing Jian Ao. Jian Ao, who had lived a life without a sword, had reached the peak of the First World. If he was so easily scared out of his wits, it would be an undeserved reputation.

He didn't do anything. The Cool Breeze Sword in his left hand shook and moved even though there was no wind. The Cool Breeze Sword suddenly came out of its scabbard like a bolt of lightning. With a crackling sound, it shot out.

"Dang!"

The two swords collided, and a pleasant sound immediately rang out.

"What a fast reaction!" Han Shizhong was shocked when he saw Jian Ao's quick reaction. He was the number one outer circle disciple, the Ethereal Swordsman, Young Master Han, Han Shizhong!

He took a step forward, and it was as if there was a gust of wind behind him pushing him, causing him to spin rapidly.

Rise and dance! Floating and graceful. Han Shizhong was like a floating cloud in the sky, free and at the same time like a divine dragon, swallowing the clouds and spitting out smoke. He became ethereal and illusory, making people unable to figure it out.

"As expected of the Misty Swordsman. His speed is so fast, and the sword light is so fleeting. In terms of sword techniques, he is definitely the highest younger generation I have ever seen!" Jian Ao praised sincerely.

If one were to classify sword techniques like sword techniques into different levels, then he would be at the beginner level. Initial level, ascending the hall. Large success level, perfect level. Now, Han Shizhong was in the Initial Completion. Half-step to the hall ascension stage. Lee Xuantong and Ning Ming were also at the Small Completion Stage, but they were not as high as Han Shizhong. Jian Ao wasn't praising himself. He was far better than them, not to mention perfection. But he had at least reached the Great Completion Stage. In terms of sword skills, he had never been afraid of anyone. Even those Sword Sect experts who were known as Grandmasters of their generation, he was not afraid.

Jian Ao could also see that Han Shizhong was competing with him in sword arts, a pure broken sword art, and not a life and death battle like the outside world. A battle to determine life and death usually focused on the use of sword arts, and sword arts were completely ignored.

However, in sword arts battles, the degree of danger was not the slightest bit inferior to a life and death battle of sword skills. Sword techniques were bold and open, and could be used at close range from a long distance. It was not like sword techniques that focused on each move and stance. It was real, and could only be used at close range battles, not even the slightest bit of exaggeration could be tolerated.

If he was not careful, he might stab his sword. If he did not react in time, he might not be able to wake up in a long sleep.

Moreover, the weakness of every swordsman was their weak body. Therefore, if it wasn't for the fact that they had no choice or had full confidence, most swordsmen wouldn't fight close range sword techniques with their enemies.

Since it was a sword battle, Jian Ao's realm was far higher than Han Shizhong's. He did not plan to bully him, so he suppressed his sword realm and lowered it to the peak of the Small Success Stage.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"

On the arena, sword shadows were everywhere. This was the reason why sword techniques were so fast. Countless figures flew over. The entire arena was filled with the figures of the two of them. This was caused by their speed being too fast.

The two of them collided continuously. The sound of weapons clashing was heard continuously. It was like music, exceptionally loud and attractive.

Below the arena, everyone stared at them without blinking. Their eyes continuously shone, and their faces were filled with admiration. It was as if they had seen their idol and the expressions of their fans.

On the stage, everyone felt that one person was like a god of freedom, walking around the world with a sword in his hand. The entire place was like a cloud of mist, ethereal and extraordinary. The other person was a god in the sky, controlling a sword with one hand. He had an indescribable grace, coupled with his white robe. He looked like a sword immortal!

"The sword must be steady, the heart must be at peace! The sword is a sword that kills people, not used to play, play cool, and attract girls' hearts!" Jian Ao said in a deep voice.

After exchanging over a thousand moves with Han Shizhong, Jian Ao realized that he had a special characteristic. Swordsmanship was too focused on appearance, or rather, this was the reaction in his heart. He could not move forward with uncertainty, and could not press forward with indomitable will. Simply put, he thought too much!

Hearing this, Han Shizhong's heart skipped a beat and exploded with a loud bang. That kind of feeling was like a bottleneck that kept breaking apart under Jian Ao's words.

Jian Ao said again, "The sword is like a man, and the sword is very loose. The owner of that sword must be a very undisciplined person. Han Shizhong, your sword has lost its original intention. The sword is a killing sword. It is not used to toy with, like dancing a spear or a stick. And you don't have the demeanor that a swordsman should have. A swordsman must press forward with indomitable will. There was no fear. He had determined that he must persist until the end. He would not turn his head even if he did crash into the south wall. If he felt that he was right, he would break the south wall. Behind the south wall is a wider and wider blue sky, a wider and thicker land. . . "

"With a clang, Jian Ao parried Han Shizhong's sword strike, and it caused the latter to be shocked and be unable to guard against it.

On the other hand, Jian Ao's aura instantly turned cold. His long hair fluttered in the wind, and he exuded an endless killing intent, as if he was a murderous devil that had slaughtered millions of people.

"Kill!"

All of a sudden, he shouted out loudly. The Cool Breeze Sword in his hand suddenly thrust out. It was a very ordinary thrust without any fancy moves. However, in Han Shizhong's eyes, this strike was like a sword of heaven and earth. Its aura was extremely restrained, and it was filled with an indomitable aura, as if it was capable of cutting through all obstacles and killing gods.

Its speed was too fast. It was so fast that he didn't even have time to react. The sword seemed to have broken through the space and arrived in front of him at a very fast speed, as if it could save him a lot of time.

"Chi!" It didn't pierce through his throat, but cut off a strand of Han Shizhong's hair.

"Han Shizhong, the sword is a killing sword. The sword technique is a killing technique. The one who wields the sword is the one who wields the sword, and he uses a fearless heart, an indomitable heart that will not be frightened by any difficulties. "

He put away the sword and stood there, looking at Han Shizhong.

Han Shizhong took a deep breath and continuously recalled Jian Ao's words.

"The sword is a killing sword, the sword is a killing technique!"

"The swordsman should have a fearless heart!"

"The swordsman should have an indomitable heart!"

. . .

. . .

"Junior Jian, you've learned your lesson!" Han Shizhong thought for a while and smiled. He said sincerely, "Senior Brother, I was too conflicted in the past and entered the wrong path, which caused my sword techniques to be unable to advance any further. I really have to thank Junior Brother Jian this time.

You won. You are the master of this arena, and also the number one person in the Heavenly Sword Sect's outer circle! Junior Brother Jian, your sword technique is the strongest person I have ever seen. Even some seniors who are obsessed with it can't compare to you. You deserve to be number one! "
