Today was the day of the five-year sword competition between the East and West Sects of the Infinite Sword School. Although the Infinite Sword School was only a small sect compared to the major sects in the Central Plains, it was still quite prestigious in Dali.
Therefore, other than the famous martial artists who were invited by Zuo Zimu and Xin Shuangqing to be the notaries, there were also quite a number of martial artists who stood up to watch the ceremony.?
For a time, the Infinite Sword School was bustling with activity.
When Lin Shuo and his group arrived at the Sword Lake Palace, the disciples of the Infinite Sword School did not know who Lin Shuo and his group were, but they saw that they were extraordinary and did not look like ordinary people. They hurriedly invited Lin Shuo and his group to enter the Sword Lake Palace and take a seat.
Not long after, a middle-aged man led a white-robed young man who was holding a folding fan into Sword Lake Palace.
When she saw Lin Shuo in green, she couldn't help but admire him. She quickly walked over and cupped her hands,""Young hero, this old man is Ma Wude, and this is Brother Duan. I wonder if the two of us can sit beside you?”
Lin Shuo was stunned. Ma Wude?
So the person beside him was Duan Yu, who ran out because he didn't want to practice martial arts?
Seeing Lin Shuo looking at him, Duan Yu quickly cupped his hands and said,""I am Duan Yu. May I know your name?”
Lin Shuo smiled and said," I'm Lin Shuo. There are still empty seats beside me. Brother Ma Wu and Brother Duan, please go ahead."”
"Thank you, Brother Lin!"
Duan Yu's face lit up, and he quickly sat beside Lin Shuo with Ma Wude. However, his gaze involuntarily turned towards the four women standing behind Lin Shuo.
"Humph!"
Mei Jian frowned slightly and snorted coldly.
Duan Yu only felt a tyrannical aura descend, pressing down until he almost could not breathe.
Duan Yu was shocked and quickly looked away. He cupped his hands at Lin Shuo and said,""Brother Lin, Duan Yu was just a little curious as to why the few ladies didn't sit down. He didn't mean to offend you, so please forgive him.”
Zhong Ling, who was sitting beside Lin Shuo, snorted and said,""How dare you peek at my sisters. You deserve it!”
Lin Shuo smiled and turned to look at Mei Jian. The latter immediately understood and retracted his aura. Duan Yu finally heaved a sigh of relief.
However, Duan Yu immediately became obedient. He hurriedly lowered his head and did not dare to look at Mei Jian anymore.
The corner of Ma Wude's mouth twitched as he watched from the side. He had never expected Duan Yu to be so blind.
Anyone with eyes could tell that Lin Shuo's group was not simple. He even dared to offend them. To be honest, he regretted bringing Duan Yu here.
On the other side, the many martial artists who came to watch the ceremony could not help but look at Duan Yu with a hint of mockery in their eyes. It was as if they were mocking him for overestimating himself.?
Fortunately, this situation did not last long.
Soon, the Infinite Sword School's Eastern and Western Sect Tournament began!
As the sect masters of the East and West Sects, Zuo Zimu and Xin Shuangqing naturally would not make a move. Instead, they sent out their proud disciples to compete in sword arts.
The sword competition was divided into five rounds. The winner of the three rounds would enter the Sword Lake Palace and comprehend the Immeasurable Jade Wall. The loser would leave the Sword Lake Palace and wait for the next competition five years later.
In the first round, Zuo Zimu and Xin Shuangqing each sent a middle-aged man.
Their martial arts and sword techniques were almost the same, but the disciple that Zuo Zimu had sent out was obviously more cunning. After exchanging dozens of moves with the other person, he stabbed the latter's wrist with his sword and won the first round.
The second round was soon to come. Xin Shuangqing and Zuo Zimu each sent out a male disciple.
However, compared to Zuo Zimu's disciples, the disciples Xin Shuangqing sent out this time were much younger. In the end, they were still defeated due to their lack of experience.
Zuo Zimu, who had won two rounds in a row, was obviously very proud. With a proud smile on his face, he casually pointed at a young man walking in the middle of the field.
On the other hand, Xin Shuangqing's face was gloomy, and she was very unhappy in her heart. However, her disciple's skills were indeed inferior in the first two rounds, so she could only suppress her anger and let her female disciple Ge Guangpei fight in the third round.
However, to everyone's surprise, Ge Guangpei's martial arts were clearly inferior to the young man's, but the young man lost to Ge Guangpei because of a mistake.
Seeing his disciple lose, Zuo Zimu's expression changed slightly, but he quickly recovered.
So what if he lost this round? He had already won two rounds. If he won another round, he would be able to stay in the Sword Lake Palace for another five years.
Although Xin Shuangqing was a little surprised, he was more delighted. He had finally won back a city!
Lin Shuo, who was sitting in the hall, smiled. If he was not wrong, this man should be Gan Guanghao.
In the original novel, he and Ge Guangpei were caught by Duan Yu when the Shennong Gang attacked the Infinite Sword School and eloped. They wanted to silence him but were killed by Mu Wanqing in the end.
The two of them must have hooked up a long time ago, so Gan Guanghao deliberately lost to her.
Soon, it was the fourth round.
This time, it was also a man and a woman, but the man showed no mercy. The woman was forced by the sword and could only try her best to resist.
Seeing this, Zuo Zimu became more and more pleased, while Xin Shuangqing's expression was extremely gloomy. She knew that if nothing unexpected happened, she would lose to Zuo Zimu again this time.
However, things were always so unexpected.
It was unknown if the man wanted to act cool or something else, but after a series of fancy movements, he accidentally tore a hole in his pants.
The woman naturally wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity. While the man was distracted, she kicked him away and won the competition.
"Hehehe!"
A burst of laughter was heard. The man's face instantly turned red and he hurriedly ran behind Zuo Zimu.
Zuo Zimu's face was ashen. Seeing Lin Shuo laughing happily, he instantly made things difficult for Lin Shuo and said in a deep voice,"Who are you? Why do you want to humiliate your disciple?"
"Presumptuous! My young master is the young master of the Vulture Palace. How dare a mere Infinite Sword be powerless against him!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Mei Jian and Zhu Jian moved and instantly appeared in front of Zuo Zimu. Their swords were already out of their sheaths and pointed at Zuo Zimu's neck. They were waiting for Lin Shuo's order to kill him instantly.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"
"Heroine, please spare my life!"
"I won't! I was blind and offended you, young hero. Please ask the two heroines to spare my life!”
Feeling the chill on his neck, Zuo Zimu instantly cowered. As a sect master, he didn't even care about his face and hurriedly begged for mercy.
Lin Shuo's mouth twitched when he saw how shameless Zuo Zimu was. No wonder Zuo Zimu became one of the forces under the Vulture Palace. It turned out that the old man was a coward!
However, it was good to be a coward. It was easy to control a coward!

Cough cough, the comments section was too quiet, and there was no data at all. Could the big shots who were watching say something to let their followers feel at ease!
