Chapter 583: Fair Competition (II)

Chapter 583: Fair Competition (II)

Lin Qingcheng and Su Yue glanced at each other, unsure of how to respond. The person before them was Peng Xiling, the most talented disciple of the Tower of Swords. Lonely Hero Peng, he was equally as famous as their sister Wu Qianyu. But what they didnt expect was that Peng Xiling would be so courteous. Instead of standing up for his own sect, he directly apologized even though he didnt have to. It seemed that Wu Qianyus words about this person werent false at all.

Ahem, Lin Qingcheng cleared her throat, Sir Peng, that is very kind of you.

Peng Lingxi smiled, Dont mention it. This is something I should do as their senior brother.

Senior Brother One of the people behind her spoke up, How how can you take their side?

This is not right! This is going against the sect masters order Another person chimed in but they were quickly interrupted.

Peng Lingxis sheathed sword shot out and slapped the two across the head. The miscreants howled and jumped back, clutching their faces with miserable expressions.

Lin Qingcheng watched the exchange with great interest. This Peng Xiling truly had the aura of a senior brother. He was upright and heroic yet decisive and firm when he had to be. It was eye-opening for her who rarely acted according to her status. She still had a long way to go before she could become someone like that.

Peng Lingxi faced the ten fellow disciples with a frown, You guys can scram. This sword truth, I will take care of it.

The one named Peng Kai looked reluctant for a brief moment before bowing respectfully. The rest did so as well. They had no standing to compete against their senior brother for sword truths. It could only be considered their bad luck. Even if these people were unwilling, there was absolutely no one they could complain to.

Yes, senior brother!

The group picked up their things and quickly disappeared into the forest.

Peng Lingxi once again faced Lin Qingcheng and Su Yue with a friendly smile, Miss Lin, I can immediately recognize. However, this miss, it is a little difficult for me. May I ask, are you Miss Su Xue or Miss Su Yue?

Her appearance was quite dazzling under the rays of sunlight that peaked through the foliage.

Su Yue blinked rapidly until she finally recovered from her daze, Ah, sorry, I am Su Yue. Sir Peng, well met.

Peng Lingxi laughed lightly. Her Brother Chens disciples were each so excellent. She couldnt feel a strand of wickedness from either woman. He certainly had good taste.

This didnt cause any jealousy, only more admiration. It meant that her mans judgment was good. It was only fitting because he was the one she had chosen.

She gestured to the tall tree behind her, Miss Lin, Miss Su Yue, although I wish that our two sects can be friends, it is still difficult for me to simply let go of a sword truth within this Forest of Swords. After all, it is everyones greatest purpose of entering this realm. However, unlike those rascals, I am willing to have a fair competition with you both. What do you say?

Oh? Lin Qingcheng said, I heard that Sir Peng is already at the lesser realm of Spiritual Growth while us two are only at the 8th Level of the Spirit Initiate Realm. There is quite a gap between us.

Peng Lingxi replied, You two can attempt to climb up first. You can even try to climb up together. I can wait half an hour and you can have as many attempts as you like. If you are able to snatch the sword truth, then it is yours. However, if you cant, then I will take it.

Lin Qingcheng was once again impressed. This person was so confident and straightforward. Although she had not interacted with Peng Xiling for very long, they had already left a deep impression. It was no wonder that even Sister Wu Qianyu could get along with him.

Wait that wasnt quite right. This person was actually a woman.

Fifth Move, Ascending the Skies Alone!

Peng Lingxi finished the first wandering and entered the second wandering. Her spiritual aura doubled in size. Her speed increased precipitously. She flew past the one-hundred-meter mark without any sign of falling back down.

This sword truth was a work of genius. It not only tested a sword cultivators understanding of movement; it also gave them an opportunity to break their limits so that they could touch the sky. The most significant difference between mortals and immortals was the latters ability to overcome the ground and soar across the sky.

If one could climb two hundred and fifty meters with their own ability to obtain this sword truth, they were already one step closer to becoming an immortal!

Peng Lingxi reached the two-hundred-meter mark and felt strong resistance. Her body felt incredibly heavy. She was like a rock that was about to plunge back down.

She gritted her teeth. She rotated the sword energy within her body and summoned the third wandering, her strongest possible form.

In an instant, the spiritual aura around her became almost tangible. Her eyes flashed with sword light. Her sword shot out resolutely, directly attacking the tree trunk.

With sounds akin to swords clashing, her figure once again became a blur. She closed the last few meters in a single breath and swept past the highest branch, making the tip of the giant tree sway as if it was suddenly hit by a strong gale.

Pa!

Peng Lingxi finally returned to solid ground, a sword held in one hand and a slender sword truth in the other. Hiding her tiredness, she shot a smile at the two witnesses to her performance.

Looks like I managed it. She said simply as if it had been rather easy.

Lin Qingcheng shook her head in defeat, Sir Peng is really impressive.

Well done! Su Yue chimed in.

Haha, Miss Lin and Miss Su Yue are too kind.

The three exchanged a few more pleasantries before bidding goodbye. The sword truth had been claimed so there was nothing else here. They all had better things to do than stand around and chat all day.

Peng Lingxi left in complete satisfaction. Not only had she smoothly obtained another sword truth, she had also met two more disciples of Chen Wentian and left what was hopefully a good impression. There was nothing more she could ask for.
