The sword light was sharp and cold, and the air roared violently, as though Mount Tai was pressing down.
It carried an unstoppable momentum!
Before the sword even reached, the ground was already cracking with countless fissures!
What?!
Qin Langyu's expression changed instantly!
What kind of sword technique is this?!
Why is its power so overwhelming, completely surpassing his axe technique!
“Damn it!”
Qin Langyu roared!
If he was defeated by Luo Mu without even using his sword intent, it would be too embarrassing!
At the very least, he should have lasted a few moves!
However, as beautiful as that thought was, the reality was brutal.
The gap in the martial arts power had already decided everything.
Boom!
The ground shook, and dust filled the air.
When the dust cleared,
Qin Langyu was already lying on the ground, looking pitiful, though he had only suffered minor injuries and was knocked unconscious.
Hoo!
In an instant, the entire arena was in an uproar.
“My heavens, did I see that wrong? Senior Brother Luo didn't even use sword intent, and he defeated Qin Langyu with just one move!”
Someone gasped.
It was hard to believe.
At first, when Luo Mu entered the arena, no one had much hope for him, since his opponent's cultivation was simply too high.
Then Luo Mu revealed his cultivation at the third level of the Spirit Sea Realm.
But no one ever expected he could win without even using sword intent.
One move defeat!
“That's the [No-Life Sword Canon], right?”
“Among mid-tier Mystic martial techniques, it's one of the best!”
Someone suddenly recognized Luo Mu's sword style.
“Exactly, and Senior Brother Luo has even mastered it to perfection!”
When these words were spoken, everyone immediately understood.
Although Qin Langyu's [Divine Mountain Axe Technique] was also a mid-tier Mystic martial art, it still had a significant gap compared to the [No-Life Sword Canon].
No wonder one move was enough to defeat him!
“I didn't expect Senior Brother Luo to practice the [No-Life Sword Canon]. This martial technique is incredibly difficult to learn, and it must be practiced through bloodshed. Over time, it can affect one's mind, so few are willing to train in it.”
“But once mastered, its power is terrifying, not weaker than ordinary high-tier Mystic techniques!”
Someone familiar with it explained.
“Now I get it.”
Everyone couldn't help but nod.
Then, they all became excited.
Luo Mu, now at the third level of the Spirit Sea Realm, had mastered sword intent and the [No-Life Sword Canon]. A martial artist like him could easily rank in the top fifty, if not higher!
“Senior Brother Luo is mighty!”
In the academy, strength commands respect. When you're strong enough, you naturally get addressed as Senior Brother.
Today's battle had certainly boosted the outer palace's pride.
Previously, in battles between the inner and outer palaces, the outer palace would mostly lose.
“Hahaha, you couldn't even last one move!”
“Looks like your inner palace geniuses aren't so impressive after all!”
Wang Sanjiu stroked his white beard and laughed heartily.
Nearby,
Zhang Xuan's expression darkened.
Although he knew they would definitely lose, at least he expected to last a few moves!
Moreover, the opponent hadn't even used sword intent.
“Don't laugh too soon!”
“My true genius from the inner palace hasn't made a move yet!”
“This is just the martial path trend. Who hasn't gone through it?”
Zhang Xuan said coldly.
“Heh.”
Wang Sanjiu ignored him.
It was rare to have a chance to boast, so how could he miss it?
Meanwhile, he was also deeply shocked.
How long has it been since Luo Mu acquired the [No-Life Sword Canon]? And now, he had already mastered it to perfection.
What he didn't know, however, was that Luo Mu had not only perfected it, but also pushed it to the high-tier Mystic level!
What he just used was merely a hundred sword qi.
It was still within the mid-tier standard.
“This guy has gotten a lot stronger.”
The Ninth Prince smirked.
Such an exaggerated rate of cultivation, paired with that terrifying comprehension, made it impossible to imagine how far he could go in the future.
The Grand Elder next to him didn't seem to care much.
Having spent most of his time in seclusion, this was his first time seeing Luo Mu.
He only thought that the sword move just now was quite good.
“So it's him, Luo Mu!”
Among the disciples waiting to take the stage, one of them showed a smile.
It was none other than Xie Yunbai, who had exchanged glances with Luo Mu at the back of the academy earlier!
After returning, he had done everything he could to investigate.
But due to the lack of information, he couldn't find a match.
He had thought it might be Luo Mu.
But at that time, everyone thought Luo Mu was still in the True Aperture Realm, which didn't match.
Who would have thought it was really him!
—
On the arena floor,
Luo Mu didn't bother with the unconscious Qin Langyu.
He sheathed his sword and turned to leave.
His movements were as smooth as flowing water.
He was heading toward the other battles, but as he stepped out, he suddenly felt a sharp gaze land on him.
He subconsciously glanced over.
Not far away,
A young man with a sword on his back was watching him.
His brown eyes held a look of scrutiny.
Luo Mu didn't think much of it, shifting his gaze away. After realizing he could learn from watching other battles, he didn't want to waste any more time.
Nothing was more important than ‘watching the battle'!
After all, this grand event only took place once every three years. There wouldn't be so many battles to watch on regular days.
“What, getting serious now?”
Huang Yuntian's lips curled slightly.
“It's just the [No-Life Sword Canon].”
Li Jianyi withdrew his gaze and said indifferently.
“True, the [No-Life Sword Canon] is only mid-tier Mystic, but what we practice is the high-tier version.”
Huang Yuntian crossed his arms. “At his current level, he can at most rank in the top forty.”
The inner palace currently had thirty-seven disciples who had comprehended the martial path trend.
Unless this person's martial path trend also improved, he wouldn't be much of a threat.
“Looks like this grand event, I'm the only one qualified to be your opponent.”
Huang Yuntian said.
“Perhaps.”
Li Jianyi's gaze was calm.
His father and some of the clan elders were watching from above, and he had to remain undefeated.
Only in this way could his father's line return to the core of the family.
The family head,
It sounded prestigious,
But in reality, it was just a position for doing all the menial work.
