187: Chapter 186 Sparring Competition 187: Chapter 186 Sparring Competition The leader was a middle-aged scholar, extremely refined. Many people were slightly startled; they could not imagine that the Sect Master of Wenxue Sect, renowned across the world, would look like this. However, if you truly considered him just a scholar, then you would be gravely mistaken! Several elders from major forces greeted him with smiles, to which the Sect Master of Wenxue Sect responded kindly. What followed were some congratulatory speeches and a banquet. This process lasted for about three hours. After everyone had their fill of food and drink, they began to look forward to the upcoming performances. “Next is the sparring performance between various sects and families. I hope everyone can stop when appropriate and avoid harming the harmony!” an elder from Wenxue Sect announced loudly. Many young martial artists were fired up, eager to try their skills. “I wonder who would like to come up first?” smiled the elder from Wenxue Sect. A young man quickly rushed to the square, bowing respectfully to all sides. “Greetings to all the seniors. I am Shi Dong from the Fiery Sun Sect.” The young man spoke loudly, “May I know which hero would like to exchange a couple of moves with me?” “I will!” Another young man darted forward, appearing in the square. “Lingyun Sect, Song Fei!” Shi Dong grinned, and behind him, a halo appeared, as dazzling as the sun. “Fiery Sun Fist!” He swung out a punch, and the light behind Shi Dong flared brightly, emitting a scorching heat that melted the nearby ice and snow. Within ten meters, the air was parched as if countless flames were burning. Lin Xuan squinted, carefully watching the two competitors in the arena. He noticed real flames flickering around Shi Dong, a power that surprised him. “Cloud Soaring Sky Technique!” Song Fei swayed, resembling a cloud, unpredictable and elusive. At the same time, a silver-white longsword, thin as a finger, released a fierce sword light, piercing the void. Both contestants were at the Spirit Sea Fourth Heavenly Realm, making their strengths quite comparable. Furthermore, the martial arts they displayed were both dazzling and pleasing to watch. “Fire Phoenix Spread Wings!” Shi Dong quickly threw a punch, and a firebird, several dozen meters long, flew out from his fist, emitting loud cries. Carrying endless molten lava, the Fire Phoenix rushed at Song Fei. In an instant, the spiritual power on Song Fei seemed like it was about to ignite, continuously twisting, and some areas even started to rupture. The flames only burned off the external spiritual power defense and did not harm Song Fei. “Brother Shi, impressive skills, I admire them!” Song Fei said, his face showing relief as he conceded. “Thank you!” Shi Dong’s face broke into a smile. “These two both have the strength of the top fifty on the Hidden Dragon List, and their skills are indeed good,” Elder Gu commented while stroking his beard. “Liu Yang, you try.” On hearing this, Liu Yang stood up and walked toward the center of the square. “Ten Thousand Treasure Tower’s Liu Yang, here to learn.” Lin Xuan was slightly surprised; he had only seen Liu Yang and Weiwei make a move on the way to Wenxue Sect, not knowing the specifics. “Watch the fist!” After greeting, Shi Dong then burst out his fists, his robust spiritual power transforming into a sea of fire, spreading outward. “Infinite Sea!” Liu Yang grinned slightly, and a myriad of palm shadows surged out, resembling a blue ocean, carrying an endless momentum. The day he faced over a dozen Wolf Thieves, he managed to resist stubbornly, indicating that his strength was definitely extraordinary. Fire sea against water waves, the confrontation of two extreme forces made the whole air vibrate. The two powers dissolved into each other, forming a white mist that shrouded the nearby area. “Fire Phoenix Spread Wings!” Shi Dong did not hesitate, unleashing his strongest blow. A huge bird bathed in flames soared into the sky, charging at Liu Yang. Many young disciples exclaimed in surprise; they were well-versed in this move. Liu Yang remained calm, deploying his soul power to find the Fire Phoenix’s weak spot. Lin Xuan smiled, knowing Liu Yang was sure to win. This was the advantage of strong Soul Power, being able to quickly identify the opponent’s weaknesses. Indeed, moments later, a sharp gleam burst from Liu Yang’s eyes. “Flood Dragon Traverses the Four Seas!” The Spiritual Power inside his body surged, condensing into a fearsome, blue flood dragon. With a massive flick of its tail, the blue dragon charged towards the Fire Phoenix in the sky, biting precisely at its weakest point of Spiritual Power. Shi Dong’s face turned pale as he continuously stepped back. It took him a total of eight or nine steps before he could steady himself. “Admirable!” Suppressing the chaotic Spiritual Power within him, Shi Dong said with lingering fear. “Good!” The young disciples cheered, continuously shouting their approval. Elder Gu was also stroking his beard with a smile, “Not bad at all, Liu Yang’s Great Sea Unlimited Technique has reached Small Success!” “Hmph! Let me give it a try!” A light snort sounded, followed by a flash of sword light streaking across the sky like lightning. Liu Yang’s expression darkened. This person didn’t even signal before attacking, how arrogant! “Great Sea Unlimited!” The Palm Shadows surged like waves, one layer upon another, forming a towering tide that advanced forward. “It’s useless, Yan Si has mastered the Golden Snake Sword to sixty percent proficiency. His strength ranks about fortieth on the Hidden Dragon List, that kid is no match for him!” A group of disciples from the Golden Sword Sect sneered coldly, while Yan Hui stared intensely at Lin Xuan. Ssshh! Ssshh! Ssshh! The towering waves, like a piece of fabric, were torn apart. That sword light bent and advanced, like a golden snake emerging from its hole. Pff! Liu Yang’s Protective Spirit Power on his shoulder was pierced, leaving a hole the size of a thumb. Thud! Thud! Thud! Fortunately, he was wearing armor, so the sword did not directly injure him. However, the ferocious attack nearly split his right shoulder. After striking successfully, Yan Si of the Golden Sword Sect didn’t stop but continued to attack. Elder Gu’s expression slightly darkened, uttering a cold snort. Everyone could see Liu Yang had already lost, but the people from the Golden Sword Sect were still attacking; they were clearly instigating trouble! Lin Xuan’s expression also cooled down. He knew that the Golden Sword Sect bore a grudge against him, and Liu Yang was merely caught in the middle. Ssshp! Pff! The dazzling sword light shone and struck Liu Yang’s body, causing him to spit blood profusely and fly backwards. Thud! Liu Yang landed on the ground, his face ghastly pale. “Oops, I didn’t control my strength well, my bad.” Yan Si’s voice carried a light mocking tone, heavy with provocation. The crowd fell silent, many were aware of the issue between the Golden Sword Sect and Lin Xuan, and now with Lin Xuan in the Ten Thousand Treasure Tower, it naturally drew the dissatisfaction of the Golden Sword Sect. A few disciples from the Ten Thousand Treasure Tower helped Liu Yang down to his seat. “I’m sorry, I involved you in this,” Lin Xuan said apologetically, passing over a cup of Spiritual Wine. Liu Yang shook his head, “This guy is too arrogant, thinking he can bully the Ten Thousand Treasure Tower!” “Yang, focus on healing first!” Elder Gu advised. Elder Gu and the others didn’t blame Lin Xuan. When they sided with him to join the Ten Thousand Treasure Tower, they had anticipated such incidents. However, they were certain that befriending Lin Xuan brought more benefits than harm! In the square, Yan Si looked smug. He pointed his longsword at an angle and looked towards Lin Xuan. “Kid, dare to come out and play?” Lin Xuan slowly stood up, “Since you’re courting death, I’ll fulfill your wish!”
