The Southern youth competition of the Sword Soul Continent had already started for a few days. The Pine Flower Country's capital, Songcheng City, was the place where people talked the most about every day of the competition. Occasionally, there would be exquisite sword techniques, which would be used as the best topic of discussion.
For the past few days, Li Xun's group of six had been practicing their swordsmanship in the Dong Residence. On the other hand, the elders of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect were constantly sending over news of the competition. In between, Li Xun and Qin Qing made a trip to the Thousand Jade Temple. Li Xun and Qin Qing were very satisfied with the jade pendants that Qian Jue had designed. However, the price was a bit too expensive. Qian Jue asked for ten thousand purple coins, saying it was for a fifty percent discount on Qin Qing. Li Xun didn't haggle. He was too embarrassed to haggle over the price with his sister who called out to him from the left and right after seeing Qin Qing. Under Li Xun's request, the finished product would be completed in fifteen days.
The arena master of the fifth arena was changed almost every day, and on the fifth day of the competition, the Wolf Fang Sword Sect and Black Mountain Sword Sect of the old southern sword faction were defeated by the Jade Immortal and the Frigid Water Sword Sect respectively, losing their spot as arena master. Starting from the sixth day, there were other main Sword Faction members who were defeated one after the other. These sword sects were all wrongfully defeated, and most of the losses were because their members were injured or exhausted, making it difficult for them to regain their full strength in the past few days. Furthermore, they had exposed many of their weaknesses in the previous battles, so it was very easy to get targeted, so failure was only a matter of time.
Li Xun wasn't surprised by all this. He knew that what he had thought of was within the expectations of the Sword Discourse Sect. However, the issue of face made them think that even if they were to lose like this, they would still feel honored. The truth was the same. Even after those few sword sects fell, they still won the applause.
However, as far as Li Xun was concerned, what was the use of having those false reputations? A loss was a loss. Who would dare to say that they were cowards when they were going to win the championship based on their strength? That would be the true reputation of the team. Reasonable use of the rules would be the most correct choice.
On the eighth day, Li Xun and the others came to the venue again. In Li Xun's opinion, from today onwards, even the Sword Faction that hid their strength like him would reveal some of their strength. Sure enough, in the afternoon's challenge, the Rushing Thunder Sword Sect from the east also sent out a disciple of the sixth step. They swept away the last remaining top eight disciples of the Coiling Dragon Sword Sect and easily ascended to the second arena's main seat.
"Elder Gu, of the eight teams currently on the stage, which one do you think is the strongest?" Li Xun asked.
Jade Immortal, Frigid Water and Rushing Thunder Sword Sect's three sword sects all seem to be stronger than the other five arena masters at the moment, but their members have yet to fully display their strength. Even if it's the same level of cultivators, because of their different sword techniques, their actual combat ability will be much weaker. After the failure of our southern sword sects, those established sword sects have not been in a hurry to regain their position of arena master. They should be making their move in the last two days and until the critical moment, it is hard to see who is stronger. "
"In that case, let's see which is the strongest one you think?"
"It should be the Jade Immortal Sword Sect. Although their disciples are all women, we can see that their combat abilities are very strong, and their methods are very vicious. Many of the people who fought with them were injured and crippled. So far, no team had challenged them. "I estimate that their daily training must be very cruel. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so ruthless at such an age." Elder Gu squinted his eyes.
Hearing Elder Gu's words, Li Xun suddenly remembered that this was a good opportunity for practice. He said, "Qing Er, Na Na, Xiao Fen, if you guys were to fight with the Jade Immortal Sword Sect, it would definitely cause a sensation. What do you think?"
"Alright, alright. I've been holding back so much these past few days." Tian Fen complained every day, but every day, she was only able to take in Zhou Jie's good spirit. However, Zhou Jie had been doing very well these few days. He did not retaliate at all, and did not retort at all. In fact, he was also very aggrieved in his heart, because right now, he had no chance of winning against Tian Fen.
"Yeah, I can finally move around." Dong Nana was also feeling extremely stifled.
Qin Qing only smiled at Li Xun. However, Li Xun understood that within Qin Qing's heart, there was a burning desire to be able to compete as soon as possible.
"Then it's settled. Elder Gu, on the last day, I'll have to trouble you to register and challenge that Jade Immortal Sword Sect."
"Good, good, good. This time, the sects from the east and west are in the top eight. They are indeed too arrogant." Hearing that Li Xun had finally decided to make a move and had picked the Jade Immortal Sword Sect, which currently seemed to be the strongest sect, the old man's pent-up anger from the past few days had greatly abated and he hurriedly agreed.
On the ninth day, the Wolf Ivory Sword Sect and the Meng Black Sword Sect returned to snatch a spot as arena master. Moreover, this day's challenges were not as numerous as before. Most of the sword sects had already used up two chances or lost their confidence. After two o'clock in the afternoon, there were no more sword faction challengers. The ninth day had passed just like that. However, everyone knew that on the last day, there would definitely be a lot of Sword Sect members fighting for their lives, especially those that failed before.
The team competition finally welcomed the final day of the tournament. The matter of Elder Gu going to register to challenge the Jade Immortal Sword Sect went smoothly. However, there were a few people in the other stages who were arguing. Everyone understood that this persimmon was picking on the soft side of things. However, a single arena could only have a maximum of four slots per day. There were too many monks and too few porridge.
At the resting area of the Jade Immortal Sword Sect.
"Master, I didn't think that the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect, which was previously a cowardly tortoise, would actually come to challenge us today. They really have no brains, don't they know of our previous performance?" The young girl was dressed in red and looked pure. However, her tone of voice was somewhat arrogant.
"Little Chan, girls need to be reserved. How does Master usually teach you?" The only woman in the group who spoke was a middle-aged man.
"Master Yuling, I don't think they came with good intentions. According to the information we have, the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect is well-known in the south. The recent group competition champions are all related to them. Previously, when they admitted defeat, it looked like they were the target of tens of thousands of people, but they had preserved their strength and were much smarter than the other seven foolhardy sword sects. " The young girl who spoke wore green clothes. She was elegant and graceful, graceful and romantic, but between her brows, she emitted a heroic air.
"Xiao Die, you are right. The Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect has definitely come prepared to pick us. However, we cannot afford to lose this battle. If we lose, we would lose the opportunity to enter the top eight. The situation inside the sword sect has been getting worse and worse for the past few years.
"Martial Uncle, don't worry. Little Jiao, Little Shan and I will fight today." Die looked determined.
"Fine, the three of you will fight. You have the most control over yourselves. If you cannot do anything, you must prioritize your own safety. I still need to bring all of you back." Actually, she was also worried that due to some special reason, Xiao Chan and the other girls from the Sword Sect had made a move on them. Actually, she was worried that due to some special reason, Xiao Chan and the other girls had made a move on the people from the Sword Sect. If his own people were injured at this moment, the situation would become even more dangerous.
