At the drawing lots area, stood Chu Huaixu, Xu Ziqing, Geng Tianhe, and Qin Xuexiao.
The heir of Prince Rui habitually greeted Chu Huaixu, but as usual, Old Chu flatly ignored him.
There are so things he can’t even be bothered to pretend about.
From Qin Xuexiao’s perspective, he didn’t care at all. Such an attitude would only deepen the Moon Country people’s dislike for him, intensifying his arrogant image.
In recent days, this Chu Huaixu has truly incited national rage once again.
Let’s not ntion his performance and words when he defeated Leng Wuya on the arena.
It is said that after winning, he even remarked, "Can’t the Moon Country people afford to lose?"
So audience mbers confidently claid that they understood lip reading and that Chu Huaixu definitely whispered those words!
Once this incident was exaggerated and spread, it imdiately spun out of control.
The Moon Country people in the Imperial Capital were truly furious.
It’s said that even so officials went to the court to criticize him.
When he entered today, the assembled people around him looked at him coldly.
Chu Huaixu couldn’t even rember how many cold snorts he heard, and there were even people who spat "ptui—".
He still recalls when he first appeared at the East and West Continent Competition, wearing the Profound Yellow Leader’s waist badge, people in the crowd would spontaneously make way for him.
The treatnt before and after was world’s apart.
Yet, Chu Huaixu seed indifferent, with a touch of pride on his face.
Such an expression didn’t matter; emulating the pompous style of his teacher ancestor Jiang Zhi would suffice.
This made the Moon Country audience grind their teeth in hate, wishing that he would be knocked down on the arena later.
However, from Qin Xuexiao’s perspective, he hoped more for Chu Huaixu to draw Xu Ziqing so they could first have an internal Daoist Sect duel.
As for Geng Tianhe... he didn’t take him seriously at all.
Little did he know, Geng Tianhe was inwardly praying: "I must draw Brother Chu!"
As a rising star in the Sword Sect, he knew he barely had a chance of winning this round.
Since he was going to lose anyway, why not have a good fight with soone he revered?
Maybe, this ti he might gain so new insight?
After the four of them drew lots, the result quickly ca out.
Heaven really granted his wish, letting Geng Tianhe draw Chu Huaixu.
Just as he previously worried, Xu Ziqing drew Qin Xuexiao.
Such outcos naturally left so people happy and others upset.
Chu Huaixu rely gave Qin Xuexiao a cold glance, thinking to himself:
"Then let you live a few more days."
He wasn’t in a hurry about this matter.
Letting his life end in the most grand setting, Chu Huaixu felt it was rather good.
...
...
Since the lot drawn was number one, Geng Tianhe and Chu Huaixu’s duel would be the first to start.
After the two ascended the arena, this Sword Sect prodigy imdiately cupped his hands and said:
"Brother Chu, I hope you can give so pointers."
His attitude was excellent, long gone were the days of his aloof arrogance from last year.
Upon returning to the Sect, Geng Tianhe indeed found breakthrough after destruction.
Thus, in this year, his strength had progressed by leaps and bounds.
This ti participating in the competition, he naturally hoped he could win all the way.
If soone must defeat him, Geng Tianhe hoped that person would be Brother Chu!
Facing that sincere gaze, a gentle smile appeared on Chu Huaixu’s face.
His attitude towards his own country’s opponents and Moon Country’s opponents were completely different.
"I wouldn’t dare presu to guide; I, Chu, will give my all."
For the sake of future plans, the dead fox felt it was necessary to leave a good impression on the Sword Venerable Situ Cheng.
Along the way, let them know he had strong ties with their Sword Sect!
"Then give him a good lesson." Chu Huaixu decided to grant his wish.
In fact, guidance from a teacher and pointers during peer sparring are still different.
Contests in the sa realm often allow one to gain more personal insights.
After exchanging sword salutes, the duel officially began.
Chu Huaixu did not rush to make a move at this mont, but instead spoke, "Brother Geng, I will compete with you as a pure Sword Cultivator in this duel."
The aning in his words was clear: although I am a Sword and Body Dual Cultivator, today I won’t overly use the strength of a Body Refiner.
"Great!" Geng Tianhe laughed heartily.
He did not feel disdained by such words from the opposite party.
This Sword Sect prodigy wielded a Super Grade Spirit Sword and imdiately slashed toward Chu Huaixu, like a roaming dragon.
This was the Swordsmanship taught by Situ Cheng after accepting him as a disciple, Upper Grade Profound Level, nad: Nine Heavens Soaring Dragon Sword.
However, the next scene left the great cultivator from the Sword Sect, sitting atop the high platform, with his eyebrows furrowed, uttering a surprised sigh.
Because just as Situ Cheng had begun to perform the opening stance of the Nine Heavens Soaring Dragon Sword, with the sword montum not yet fully ford, Chu Huaixu also moved, and his technique was identical!
He actually knows the Nine Heavens Soaring Dragon Sword!
The exact sa swordsmanship, the exact sa techniques.
This made Geng Tianhe secretly startled and then turned into great joy.
Ah! I practice the sa swordsmanship as Brother Chu!
What a fate!
And in this way, won’t he be able to guide better?
Chu Huaixu indeed had this thought.
He actually couldn’t completely confirm that the swordsmanship Geng Tianhe used, he would definitely know.
After all, he read through the three thousand volus of Sword Dao a thousand years ago.
The Sword Sect has developed to this day, with an unbroken inheritance, and the sword techniques in the Sword Pavilion must be increasing.
He learned all the swordsmanship of that ti, which doesn’t an he learned all the current Profound Level swordsmanship in the Sword Pavilion.
"Anyway, let’s just watch and see."
On the arena, Chu Huaixu accompanied Geng Tianhe, going through every movent of the Nine Heavens Soaring Dragon Sword.
To be honest, his research on this swordsmanship was certainly not as deep as Geng Tianhe’s.
After all, most of the three thousand volus of Sword Dao he practiced only to the introductory or Minor Success.
But his Sword Intent and Sword Heart had the advantage, and the overall strength advantage was really significant.
Geng Tianhe soon switched to using the Celestial Spirit Dragon Roar Swordsmanship.
This was a Profound Level swordsmanship he used against Chu Huaixu in the First Realm Competition.
The montum of this sword was like a moving flood dragon!
As a result, the sa old story, as soon as he made a move, Chu Huaixu knew what technique he would use and imdiately countered with the sa swordsmanship.
"This..." On the high platform, Situ Cheng couldn’t help but speak out, glancing at Jiang Zhi and the others.
Jiang Zhi once again displayed the deanor of a master with a pearl of wisdom in his grasp, feeling very pleased, and said, "Don’t ask, why not just watch the competition to the end."
On the arena, Geng Tianhe was suddenly more bewildered.
But soon he was overwheld with ecstasy!
"Could it be that after the East and West Continent Competition sparring ended, Brother Chu specially learned my famous swordsmanship?"
"Before learning this swordsmanship, he couldn’t possibly not recognize that this is my ultimate skill!"
A feeling of mutual appreciation welled up spontaneously.
I treat Brother Chu like this, and Brother Chu treats the sa way!
With such fate and mutual appreciation, if not a soulmate, what is it!?
"Wonderful! It’s truly wonderful!"
He began to laugh heartily, swinging his sword forward with unparalleled joy.
Even Situ Cheng on the platform was dumbfounded, not knowing what this foolish kid was imagining.
He turned his head to look at his senior brother.
Only to see a middle-aged scholar sitting in a chair, watching the two young n on the arena with great interest.
But his main focus was on Chu Huaixu.
The scene before him actually seed very familiar to him.
It was very much like when he used to ntor his junior brother.
It seed like he barely won each ti, seemingly just a little stronger than his junior brother, but it was rely a very precise guidance.
The Sword Venerable never expected that today he would see the shadow of his own style in a young Daoist Sect mber.
Well now, naturally on the arena, Geng Tianhe was amused like Situ Cheng was when sparring with the Sword Venerable.
"Delightful! Truly delightful!" he exclaid loudly.
Situ Cheng watched with his brows furrowed.
Though he didn’t even know why he was like this.
A little inexplicable, anyway, his brows just furrowed by themselves.
The exchange on the arena was back and forth.
Chu Huaixu hadn’t even used the Heart Sword to suppress the Sword Cultivator.
He feared the power of the Heart Sword, the sense of oppression was too strong, affecting Geng Tianhe’s Sword Enlightennt.
In the battle up to now, Geng Tianhe finally decided to use the swordsmanship he learned from the Sword Venerable Shibo.
The East and West Continent Competition had progressed for over a month.
During this ti, he experienced various guidance from the Sword Venerable Shibo, and in the past two days also comprehended within his Sword Domain, his swordsmanship had advanced by leaps and bounds, far beyond just mastering the basics.
Geng Tianhe shouted loudly and unleashed a sword technique.
He executed the Green Falling Lodging Fire, already cultivated to the Minor Success Realm.
And in the next mont, a Sword Qi slashed over, even faster than his.
Seeing this familiar Sword Qi, this Sword Sect prodigy instantly widened his eyes.
"This is!!!"
— Green Falling Lodging Fire, but at the Great Success Realm.
....
