"What the hell are you realizing?"
"If you keep fighting like this, your master will be sending off a black-haired man (his disciple) while still being black-haired himself."
Chen Feng was utterly speechless at this disciple.
He just wanted Zhao Bing to admit defeat, then quickly go treat his injuries and prepare for the next match.
Meanwhile, on the arena, the sword prodigy from the Dugu family was inwardly shocked.
In terms of martial arts comprehension and realm, he had already reached the fifth realm, 'Meticulous Detail'.
Zhao Bing's martial arts realm was clearly lower, likely only at the 'Mastery' stage.
In terms of qi and blood cultivation, he was at the peak of the Top-level Warrior rank.
His qi and blood value had already reached 1,583 points; just 17 points short of advancing to Martial Arts Master.
According to pre-match information, Zhao Bing's qi and blood value was only a bit over 1,200 points, merely mid-level Top-level Warrior.
Then there were martial arts techniques. He himself practiced the Profound Iron Sword Art, along with the Dugu Nine Swords.
Especially the 'Sword-breaking Stance' of the Dugu Nine Swords, reputed to break all sword techniques under heaven.
Yet, after dozens of exchanges, he still couldn't defeat Zhao Bing.
His opponent's tenacity exceeded his imagination.
Particularly just now, after hearing whatever his master said,
Zhao Bing uttered 'I've realized it',
and his entire aura seemed to undergo a tremendous change.
The Dugu family's sword prodigy didn't dare slack off in the slightest.
He deeply understood the principle that a lion uses its full strength even when hunting a rabbit.
Zhao Bing, at this moment, due to a single enlightening phrase from his master,
had lost all desire for victory or defeat in his heart, his entire mental state undergoing a massive shift.
He felt completely unburdened now.
At this moment, he only wanted to have a good, fierce battle with his opponent, to feel the clash between his opponent's sword path and his own.
"Master truly lives up to being a Great Xia hero, hailed as the strongest young monster of the Great Xia's younger generation."
"A single phrase at a critical moment can elevate my comprehension of the sword path to a higher level."
"Master is right. Winning or losing isn't important. I didn't cultivate sword techniques for the sake of competition outcomes."
Gripping his already deformed tungsten steel alloy longsword, Zhao Bing took a step forward, his sword intent soaring skyward.
He charged at his opponent once again.
The arena was instantly filled with crisscrossing sword energies, clashing against each other.
The Dugu family's sword prodigy never imagined that a battle which should have been a crushing victory had now turned into a protracted war of attrition.
What was even harder for him to accept was that Zhao Bing grew fiercer the longer they fought, while he himself grew increasingly weary.
Moreover, the power behind each of Zhao Bing's strikes was stronger than the last, clearly indicating another breakthrough in realm.
His own Sword-breaking Stance, for the time being, actually found it difficult to break his opponent's swordplay.
Inside the VIP lounge, Dugu Sword Demon never expected Zhao Bing to suddenly undergo such a change.
He was very curious, what exactly had Chen Feng said to this Zhao Bing?
To cause such a dramatic transformation in him.
Dugu Sword Demon clearly noticed that his own descendant's sword intent was weakening the longer the fight went on.
While Zhao Bing's sword intent was growing increasingly domineering.
What shocked him even more was that he actually saw a shadow of his own younger self in Zhao Bing, an outsider.
By now, the judges and some spectators also noticed a clear reversal in the battle situation.
"This Divine Capital Sword Maniac's sword realm seems to have broken through again."
"This guy is definitely the biggest dark horse in this Top-level Warrior tournament."
"Who would have thought even the Dugu family's genius couldn't subdue him."
"I heard before he took Chen Feng as his master, he only placed tenth in a city-level competition."
"Compared to this Zhao Bing, that Chen Feng is even more monstrous. All three of his disciples are stunningly talented. Even that white-haired dragon girl who defected from the sect is considered a peerless genius of her generation."
"Truly a kindred spirit of Zhang Bowen, a mixed-blood descendant of the Kunlun Remnant Tribe."
...
As the crowd discussed, the situation on the arena also underwent a massive change.
The Dugu family's sword prodigy gradually found his strength failing.
Zhao Bing's attacks, however, grew more fierce and rapid.
The Thirteen Deadly Swords, one strike following another, cycled from the first to the thirteenth.
With no desire for victory in his heart, he only felt his thoughts flowing freely.
Not to defeat the enemy, but for the sheer joy of wielding his sword!
Zhao Bing felt that the Thirteen Deadly Swords were practically tailor-made for him.
When he used the Golden Snake Sword Art before, he never had such a liberating feeling.
This feeling was simply indescribable.
Where the sword points, the heart follows!
Until a certain moment, a sudden sword cry pierced the heavens.
Zhao Bing unleashed a slash, forcing the Dugu family's genius to retreat repeatedly.
He suddenly threw his head back and laughed heartily.
"Hahaha... So that's how it is!"
"Master, I've realized it!"
Down below the arena, Chen Feng shuddered.
He thought to himself:
"Disciple, have you lost your mind!"
"After the tournament, should I find a psychologist for this disciple?"
Jin Youxi's small mouth hung open in shock.
At this moment, she felt this scar-faced junior brother seemed a bit fierce.
"Master, junior brother seems to have gotten stronger again!"
Liu Weiwei simply felt that Zhao Bing at this moment was like a psychotic serial killer.
In the VIP lounge, Dugu Sword Demon stood up abruptly, shocked.
"Breaking through two martial realms in a single match? How is that possible!"
With his 'Unity of Man and Heaven' sword realm, he could see at a glance.
Zhao Bing's sword technique had already broken through from the initial 'Mastery' to 'Meticulous Detail'.
Now it had broken through again from 'Meticulous Detail' to 'Flawless Mastery'.
In one match, he went from the fourth martial realm to the sixth martial realm.
Even he in his youth never improved at such a heaven-defying speed.
In the spectator stands now, the few fans of the Divine Capital Sword Maniac immediately got excited.
"It's happening, it's happening! The Divine Capital Sword Maniac is about to unleash his ultimate move."
"The signature laugh is out, the catchphrase has been spoken, the next move will surely defeat the enemy!"
"Damn! What's up with this scar-faced guy? I feel inexplicably scared!"
"Haven't you seen his previous matches? One 'Master, I've realized it,' and all his opponents were defeated!"
...
Zhao Bing swung his sword again!
Reciting the sword formula aloud.
"Accumulate the force of a thousand blades! In the snap of a finger!"
Instantly, his sword energy materialized, shooting forward like a piercing thrust.
The Dugu family's genius immediately felt his hair stand on end!
Sensing immense danger in his heart.
"Can't face it head-on!"
He hurriedly unleashed dozens of sword energy slashes himself, trying to block.
Yet, they were all annihilated under Zhao Bing's sword energy.
"How is this possible!"
"Has his realm surpassed mine?"
"Impossible!"
No matter what, he refused to believe it.
But his entire person was forced out of the arena by this one burst of sword energy.
Because if he didn't retreat, he would surely die.
However, it wasn't over yet.
After Zhao Bing unleashed that sword,
he didn't stop.
The second and third strikes followed in quick succession!
For a moment, sword energy shot wildly across the arena.
The referee glanced at the list and immediately shouted:
"Zhao Bing, you have already won!"
"You can stop now, leave the arena quickly!"
Yet Zhao Bing acted as if he didn't hear, continuing to unleash the Thirteen Deadly Swords strike by strike.
The referee frowned.
Feeling his authority was being seriously challenged.
"Hey! Do you think I'm giving you face or what?!"
As he spoke, he drew the nunchaku from his waist.
ose... to cooperate with the protagonist! Shen Yuan: I have a system! Protagonist: What? System: Holy crap, you're just spilling it out like that? Shen Yuan: Let's team up, we'll split the system rewards! Protagonist: Fifty-fifty split? Shen Yuan: No way! Protagonist: What!? I'm the one getting beaten up, and I don't get half? Shen Yuan: Forty-sixty split, I get forty, you get sixty! Protagonist: Deal! Big brother, come on, hit me! As long as it doesn't kill me, beat me like you mean it! Shen Yuan: Don't worry... I will definitely protect all of you! No one but me can lay a finger on you! Guard our Heaven's Chosen Ones! I'm the only one allowed to bully them!
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
