Chapter 4: Cross-level Challenge
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On the arena.
“Senior Brother Zhang, your swordsmanship is getting better and better, and you’re already quite skilled. However, I’ve been training hard for the past three months, and I’ve already mastered the Qingyun sword technique, so I’m slightly better than you,” Wang Yuan said proudly.
After saying that, Wang Yuan held his sword with the back of his hand and slightly bent his body. Like an arrow leaving the bow, he approached Zhang Huan in an instant.
Qingyun sword technique, Sword Drawing stance.
With a twist of his wrist, the speed of the green steel sword increased by a notch.
Clang!
Zhang Huan’s expression was calm as he held the sword horizontally in front of him. His true qi vibrated and knocked Wang Yuan’s sword away. It was still easy for him to deal with it.
Victor, who was standing by the side, had already noticed that the gap between the two people’s strength and cultivation abilities was quite obvious. Wang Yuan was unable to defeat Zhang Huan just by relying on his slightly superior sword technique.
As expected, Wang Yuan only lasted for fifteen minutes before he was defeated by Zhang Huan.
“Junior Brother Wang, I only have some experience in cultivation. Although my swordsmanship isn’t as good as yours, I still am aware of using simple methods to break through your techniques. Junior brother, you still have to hurry up and cultivate!”
Zhang Huan pretended to be modest and consoled Wang Yuan earnestly. Wang Yuan accepted it and exchanged a few pleasantries with him before making an appointment for the next battle.
“As expected of our number one servant disciple. He is indeed magnanimous and even knows how to teach a challenger.”
“That’s right. With Senior Brother Zhang’s strength, it’s only a matter of time before he enters the martial training peak and becomes an official disciple!”
Hearing the praise from the crowd below the stage, Zhang Huan’s heart instantly swelled up, feeling arrogant.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Since everyone loves me so much, I will definitely not hesitate to teach you. Is there any junior brother who would like me to give you some pointers?”
Zhang Huan raised his head and looked at the crowd below the stage with a proud expression as he said loudly.
After hearing these words, although the crowd was a little restless, everyone knew that this was just a casual remark from Zhang Huan.
“Senior Brother Zhang, who doesn’t know that you are the strongest person in our servant hall? We are useless people with mediocre talent. I reckon that we won’t be able to hold on for even a few breaths. We don’t even have the qualifications to be sparring partners. We won’t trouble Senior Brother Zhang and waste precious cultivation time.”
The servant disciples were also well aware that they were simply looking for trouble. No one would be so foolish enough to volunteer.
Seeing that the crowd didn’t dare to come up and compete, Zhang Huan felt a little displeased. However, in order to maintain the reputation of the number one person in the servant hall, he still looked at the crowd below the stage with warmth.
Swordsmanship could only improve faster through sparring. Wang Yuan had already reached the master level for the Qingyun sword technique, so he absolutely couldn’t fall behind others.
Considering there was such an opportunity to spar, he naturally had to make good use of it.
“How about this? For the sake of fairness, I’ll give you three moves. Moreover, if anyone beats me, I will agree to a condition as long as it does not violate the sect’s ethics.”
Zhang Huan placed his sword behind his back and closed his eyes and regulated his breathing.
The people in the martial arts arena discussed animatedly, but no one dared to step onto the stage. Perhaps the people below the stage had been frightened by Zhang Huan’s display of power just now.
One minute later.
Zhang Huan looked around and shook his head slightly with a disdainful smile on his face.
Just as Zhang Huan turned around and was about to leave the stage, Victor, who was on the left side of the arena, looked at Zhang Huan’s back and felt his heart burning.
“As long as I defeat him, he will agree to a condition of mine?”
He was already thinking of a way to see if he could make use of the competition to make a bet with Zhang Huan.
However, the other party happened to have provided him the opportunity.
Victor immediately pushed aside the crowd and walked onto the stage while everyone was cursing at him mentally.
Seeing Victor, Zhang Huan was also quite surprised. He thought that he would not be able to find an opponent to practice today. He did not expect that the people below the stage were not all useless and that someone still dared to challenge him.
“Senior Brother Zhang, is what you said true? As long as I defeat you, you would agree to one condition of mine!” Victor looked at Zhang Huan with a burning gaze, as if he looking at a treasure.
Being looked at like this by Victor, Zhang Huan felt uncomfortable.
When he heard Victor’s words, he could not help but felt a wave of anger in his heart.
This guy’s face was so unfamiliar. He had seen all the disciples in the servant hall who had some capabilities.
Where did this kid come from? He actually dared to say such arrogant words such as defeating me.
Is he trying to use me to establish his authority?
Thinking of this, Zhang Huan’s gaze became slightly intense.
Victor also did not understand why the other party’s attitude suddenly changed so much. Did his words offend him?
Zhang Huan drew out his green steel sword and pointed it at Victor’s chest.
This was a declaration of war.
“Junior brother, I don’t know where you got the courage to challenge me, but to me, I only need one move to defeat you. However, as your senior brother, I won’t bully you. I will keep my word, so you can make your move first!” Zhang Huan suddenly withdrew his sword and replied with passion.
Looking at the other party’s arrogant expression, Victor saw a trace of disdain from the corner of Zhang Huan’s slightly curled mouth.
“Who is this person? He is so arrogant, he actually wants to defeat Senior Brother Zhang Huan!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Who knows, probably another servant disciple who wants to become famous.”
“I know him. A while ago, there was a rumor that a junior brother had reached the peak of the third-rate realm overnight. It seems to be him.”
After knowing Victor’s strength, the ridicule from the audience became even more rampant.
“Hehe, a guy who has just entered the third-rate realm wants to defeat Senior Brother Zhang.”
“He’s just an upstart, just wait for Senior Brother Zhang to beat him up.”
“Senior Brother Zhang, kill him in one move, let him understand the gap between you and him!”
Hearing the support of the audience, a cold gaze flashed across Zhang Huan’s eyes.
One move to decide the outcome?
This was too boring. An upstart wanted to step on his head to gain fame, so he had to teach this kid a good lesson.
On the other side of the arena.
Victor heard the taunts of the people below the stage clearly.
He had indeed just entered the third-rate realm not long ago. One month ago, he was incomparable to anyone. But now, things were different. Not only did he have a level three talent, he even had a max-level Qingyun sword technique. This was not something that an upstart could easily obtain.
Perhaps they thought that he was overestimating himself, but it did not matter. Soon, they would see his true strength.
During the match between Zhang Huan and Wang Yuan, Victor had observed clearly.
Zhang Huan’s Qingyun sword technique had only reached the proficiency level, while his own Qingyun sword technique had already reached maxed out. Although his true qi was not as rich as Zhang Huan’s, as long as he used his strengths to make up for his weaknesses, it was very likely that he would be able to defeat Zhang Huan.
Moreover, Zhang Huan had been flattered by the crowd below the stage and was feeling smug.
Under the circumstance where the opponent was underestimating him, as long as he could seize the opportunity, defeating Zhang Huan would be a certainty.
The people below the stage kept mocking him, but Victor’s heart did not waver at all.
He could not lose this battle.
