Ming Yu followed the movements in her memory and slowed down, step by step, she deduced the sword art manual.

His movements were clearly very slow, but an invisible sword force appeared around his body. The fallen leaves around him actually moved without wind, circling around the bright feathers and continuing like this for nearly an hour.

Suddenly, the sword strokes in Ming Yu's hands became faster and faster, moving like dragons and snakes. The speed became faster and faster, and with every thrust, sword qi condensed.

When the sixth strike was withdrawn, Ming Yu suddenly released his strength and turned around to sweep out a sword. With a "Hua" sound, the seventh tribulation fused into the throat sealing sword, causing the sword blade to fiercely tremble as the sword qi howled and flew into the sky.

Ming Yu flipped her wrist, and another bolt of killing intent flew into her sword. However, the sword qi suddenly became disordered, and the throat 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 killing intent and sword intent, I can only condense seven killing intents. 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 thought of the gambling den.

The Under Heaven Chamber of Commerce easily revealed their identity, and it wasn't the best choice. But if they could enter the gambling arena, then not only could they take this opportunity to hone their sword skills, they could also win over Mo Yu and buy the Crimson Gold Blood Lingzhi for their mother!

Ming Yu had no reason not to be moved.

As he thought about this, he kept his Throat Sealing Sword and returned to his bedroom to rest. After adjusting his condition to his peak, he left the palace early the next morning and headed for the fiery underground Imperial City.

The Underground Imperial City was located at the southwest side of the Great Ming Empire. Since it was established thirty meters below the ground and had an enormous surface, it was like a city. Hence, it was named as the Underground Imperial City!

There were many people who participated in the underground kingdom's gambling match. Even though it was still early in the morning, the underground kingdom was still bustling with noise and excitement.

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

Ming Yu arrived at the contestants' entrance and walked down the stairs. On both sides of the long and wide tunnel, there were only faint lights and dim lights. He could faintly hear the screams of people coming from deep underground.

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

There were gray and black arenas in front of him, and there were battles taking place one by one. Around the arenas, the audience raised their arms to cheer for Mingyu, as waves of shouts and battle cries rushed into her 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. As soon as Ming Yu entered, she saw a short and stout youth around the age of twenty.

The young man had combed his short hair and his small eyes were rolling back and forth. When he saw Ming Yu, he walked over cordially and said, "Brother, are you here to participate in the gambling match as well? "Hehe, my name is Zhou Kai. What's your name?"

"My name is Ming Yu." Ming Yu replied simply, not moved by Zhou Kai's enthusiasm.

This Zhou Kai clearly did not know him, and yet he had been so enthusiastic from the start, which could not help but seem a little fake.

Zhou Kai said, "Oh, oh, so it's like that. Have you decided on who you want to bet with yet?" "You have also reached the pinnacle of Transcending Mortality Stage Level 4?"

"I just reached the fourth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage a few days ago." With a faint smile, Ming Yu truthfully said.

He suddenly felt a sense of superiority rising in his heart. He patted Ming Yu's shoulder, shook his head, and said, "Brother, this underground Royal City is not a place where you should come to. To be honest, you still need to work hard."

"Just now, I defeated a Fighter of the same cultivation realm as me, a Fighter of the fourth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage. Guess how many moves did I use?" Zhou Kai asked proudly.

In truth, Ming Yu did not want to guess how many moves Zhou Kai had used, but he also did not want to disrespect him, so he asked, "How many moves?"

"I only used ten moves."

Zhou Kai crossed his index fingers and drew an "X", and then placed one 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. As he held Ming Yu's shoulder like this, Ming Yu felt very uncomfortable.

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

Seeing that Ming Yu did not even bother listening to him, Zhou Kai did not have a smile on his face, instead saying coldly, "Bro, I'm not talking about you, you really do not know the dangers of this underground city. Wounding 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 only wait till I reach the peak of the fourth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage before I start to gamble. Your arrival here now is equivalent to your suicide."

After interacting with him for a short period of time, Ming Yu had already completely understood Zhou Kai's boastful personality. According to Ming Yu's temper, he should have long fallen out.

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

Zhou Kai suddenly said proudly, "You're lucky to have asked the right person. In this aspect, I have much 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. In the Underground Imperial City, once you have more than ten times the gatekeepers, the Underground King City will personally send people to challenge you. Those people call it the gatekeepers and the finalists. 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. "

As he spoke, Zhou Kai noticed the trace of arrogance in Ming Yu's eyes, and couldn't 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.

"Arena number 35, empty. Defender of the arena. Wu Tong. Peak of the fifth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage. Defend the arena eight times. Next challenge, three hundred thousand inkstones!"

Suddenly, a loud announcement came from the broadcast, interrupting Mingyu and Zhou Kai's conversation.

Ming Yu looked down, and saw that Stage Thirty-Five was completely surrounded by people, and among them, a bald burly man was sitting cross-legged, holding two iron chains in his hands, a three-hundred-pound meteor hammer in his hand, closing his eyes in meditation, quietly waiting.

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 level of the Transcending Mortality Stage, the skin and flesh of one's body would become as hard as steel, and their recovery rate would be extremely high.

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

He was just sitting on the ground. His deep breathing and the heavy beating of his heart made him look like a sleeping beast. Just looking at him was enough to make people feel fearful.

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

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

Ming Yu was observing himself, but Zhou Kai, on the other hand, thought that Ming Yu was scared silly seeing such a powerful opponent. Immediately, a disdainful smile flashed across his face.

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

Finished speaking, Zhou Kai turned around and jumped down from the window. With a "dong" sound, a cloud of dust rose from the window and landed steadily on the 35th arena!

Everyone could not help but feel dissatisfied, as they did not expect Zhou Kai to beat them to the punch.

Being able to exchange pointers with Wu Tong was the best that one could hope for. Even if they exchanged blows a couple of times, it would still benefit them greatly. Their martial arts would greatly improve.

Although this challenge had cost him 300,000 inkjades, Zhou Kai, as a rich merchant's son, did not care about this amount of money. What he cared about was being able to learn from 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 Ming Dynasty's elite rankings.

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

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

"Let me see, three moves."

"That might not be the case. Even if Zhou Kai is at the peak of the fourth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage, Wu Tong fought nine times in a row, causing his stamina to drop. In my opinion, it is already not bad for Zhou Kai to be able to last eight moves."

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 long blades appeared in his hands. With a smile on his face, he said, "Old thing, let me end you today."

In the next moment, Zhou Kai shot out like a cannonball. Circulating his Zhen Qi, he climbed up to the edge of the blade, and then slashed out with both blades horizontally, immediately launching a powerful killing move.

In front of Wu Tong, concealing his strength was a joke. If he used his full strength, it was possible for him to persist for a while in the hands of Wu Tong.

"Broken Mountain Break!"

This Broken Mountain was a Medial Grade Spirit Ranked Martial Technique that Zhou Kai was very familiar with. It was as if the air was sliced open, and in the next instant, the two cold saber lights 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 gave a cold humph and his wrist turned. Just as he was about to slash again, Wu Tong suddenly stood up. A pair of hands met Zhou Kai's twin sabers and held onto them tightly.

"What?"

No one had expected that Wu Tong would actually use his hands to snatch the dual blades from Zhou Kai. However, Wu Tong was a powerhouse at the peak of the fifth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage.

In the next moment, Wu Tong raised his foot and kicked angrily at Zhou Kai's chest. It turned out that Wu Tong had pretended to be injured all this time for the sake of this' Lightning Strike '!

However, Zhou Kai's reaction was extremely fast as well. In the next instant, he gave up on his dual blades and punched out.

"Bam!"

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

Everyone could not help but praise Zhou Kai. This Zhou Kai was indeed a talent that could be molded. Being able to endure so many moves from Wu Tong despite being just in his early twenties, his future would definitely be limitless!
