Volume 2 That World Chapter 41 Bai Tianhe’s Enlightenment!
Jiandu Square.
Today is the last day of the defense competition.
So far, the arenas of the seven major forces have not been broken through.
Among the many challengers, the one with the best performance was Li Heng, the senior brother of Bajimen’s Li Shuming who appeared earlier.
This person was at the eighth-dan sitting license level, and with a big spear he took down the two forwards and the deputy champion of Longchang. After forcing out the champion who was also at the eighth-dan level but stronger, he was suppressed throughout the whole process and finally managed to draw and step down.
The second best challenger was another successor of the Shajie Sword School - Gu Qiuzhen.
This person was estimated to be at the level of just entering the eighth stage. His target was the Wuxiang Temple where all the practitioners were. He also defeated the first three with great force. However, because their Killing Sword School's sword moves were too lethal and their attacks were too fierce, they were suppressed and defeated by the Qingyu Sword Technique of the eighth stage champion who left the stage in anger. When he was defeated, he was covered with sword wounds and looked extremely tragic.
So, don’t think that Taoists have no temper.
So far, except for the champions of Longchang and Wuxiangguan who were forced to come off the field and demonstrate their powerful strength, the champions of the five major forces like Shendao Tower, Jiange, Liaoyuan Sect, Kaiwu Hall and Demon Extermination Association are still in a mysterious state without revealing their strength.
The logistics personnel sent by Jiange to gather information were unable to learn more about the champion.
The two champions who have already left the competition have revealed a lot of things.
The champion of Longchang is Wang Zhige, who looks to be about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, and is at the eighth level of sitting meditation . The weapon he uses is a green jade ruler about one meter long, with no edge or blade. The martial arts he uses are all-encompassing, and the moves seem to be able to evolve infinitely.
The name of the champion of Wuxiang Temple is unknown, he calls himself "Dao Lian", the weapon he uses is a one-handed long sword, and the sword technique is called "Qing Yu". His moves are unpredictable and ethereal, real and fake. He easily defeated and seriously injured Gu Qiuzhen of the Shajie Sword School.
…
Qi Ji and a few others sat beside the Jiange arena, listening to the logistics staff from Jiange who came to inquire about the news relaying the situation of the two arena champions from Longchang and Wuxiang Temple, and expressed their knowledge.
Qin Zijin sat close to Qi Ji, watching Qi Ji playing with the sheathed single sword in his hand, and asked curiously: "Don't you always use a long sword? Why did you bring this single sword here today?"
Qi Ji smiled and looked at Qin Zijin, and said softly: "A few days ago, I watched Mr. Yu demonstrate the sword-drawing technique to me. I went back and studied it myself. I want to try it today."
Qin Zijin was stunned for a moment, then he was full of interest: "Mr. Yu's sword-drawing technique relies on Qi to stimulate the body and use it forcefully. A mortal without Qi cannot use it with such power."
Then she became excited again: "From what you said, you were inspired by Mr. Yu and went back to figure out the sword-drawing technique?"
Qi Ji nodded and smiled, "Although I don't have Qi, I still have some strength, so I went back and tried it many times. I feel that my sword-drawing speed is pretty fast now. If I have a chance to see a master later, I can go up and give it a try."
Qin Zijin's eyes lit up: "Then I'll wait and see what new tricks Qi Shen has this time."
Qi Ji was reminded by Qin Zijin's question and remembered something he wanted to ask her: "By the way, when I mentioned Mr. Yu, I wanted to ask, what level is he in the extraordinary world now?"
Qin Zijin smiled when she heard this and said jokingly, "I've noticed many times that you always realize things like this after a long time, and it took you so long to ask me."
Then she immediately replied: "Mr. Yu, now is the fourth level of the extraordinary, which means that you can float the Qi on the surface of the body to form a 'Qi armor'."
Qi Ji nodded and sighed: "Mr. Yu is worthy of being the Sword Saint of our Great Xia. You seemed to have said before that he has only been extraordinary for ten years?"
Qin Zijin nodded: "Of course, Mr. Yu is one of the strongest people in the modern times among the billions of people in our inner domain. To use the term from the outer domain, he is a top genius that is rarely seen in a thousand years. The path to transcendence is no obstacle at all for him."
Qi Ji asked curiously, "Are the Nordic Sword Master Oz and the Sakura Sword Master Kamiizumi Shintuna of the same level?"
Qin Zijin said as if it was a matter of course: "Of course!"
As she spoke, she looked at Qi Ji with deep meaning in her eyes: "It is better to say that those who can reach the limit and achieve 'supernormal' in our inner domain are all great gods who can grow rapidly and dominate the world without exception in the outer domain. After all, in a demon-free area like the inner domain, it is many times more difficult to surpass the limits of mortals than in the outer domain."
Qi Ji nodded slightly and uttered a few words: "It is equivalent to weight training."
Qin Zijin agreed, "That's right. It's like learning to swim in a place without water or learning music in a place without sound. If you can learn it in this situation, how can you not grow rapidly when you arrive in the outer realm filled with extraordinary factors?"
“And this is also the reason why our Jiange, with its outsider status, was able to gain a firm foothold in the East China Continent and even compete for the top three positions.”
Qi Ji thought about it and felt that this was the way it should be.
While the two people were talking, they did not forget to pay attention to the situation on the stage.
The one standing on the stage at this moment is Bai Tianhe. He and Shangquan Yiren take turns to go on stage, and they rotate every time they defeat four to five people. So far, they have defeated nearly thirty challengers, and have not yet encountered a seventh-dan player.
Now, such an opponent has emerged.
After Bai Tianhe defeated another challenger and stepped down.
A handsome man in white with long hair and eyes covered with a black cloth walked slowly onto the stage.
His face was stern, his accent was awkward, and he introduced himself in a clear voice: "Tiger Eye School, Iwamoto Seigen, see you!"
Qi Ji was stunned: "Sakura man?"
"No." Qin Zijin's face was slightly serious. "It's the Dongwo people from the outside world. They are similar to the cherry blossoms in our inner world to Daxia. Dongwo is an island country adjacent to the east side of Donghua Continent. The 'Tiger Eye Style' of this Japanese is a well-known school in Dongwo."
Bai Tianhe, who had already stepped down from the stage, became excited when he saw the momentum and posture of the person coming up on stage, and was ready to turn around and go on stage again.
However, it was Kamiizumi Itsuto who won the first place because of his fellow villager's accent. He quickly rushed onto the stage the moment Iwamoto Seigen opened his mouth to speak!
Bai Tianhe had no choice but to give up when he saw this. He pursed his lips in disappointment and returned to his seat and sat up.
On the stage, Kamiizumi Itsuto excitedly asked in Sakura language: "Iwamoto Seigen! Are you from Sakura too, my fellow countryman?"
Iwamoto Kiyonen was silent for a moment, and then he answered in a language that sounded like Sakura language, but was similar to it: "You are from the Inner Domain Sakura Country? Sorry, I am not from the Inner Domain, but from the Outer Domain East Wo."
Shangquan Yiren said "Oh" in sudden realization, but still said excitedly: "Although we are not from the same place, maybe we have the same ancestor in ancient times. Come on, let's have a discussion!"
After saying this, he assumed the stance of the New Yin Style.
Iwamoto Kiyogen responded softly: "Although my words may make you feel insulted, I should still tell you in advance that you are not strong enough, so please withdraw."
Shangquan Yiren has been abused by masters from time to time in the past few days. He has been seriously injured several times, which has made him more cautious.
He immediately asked cautiously: "Ah... May I ask what your current rank is?"
"Using the evaluation method of the Donghua Continent, I am now in the realm of 'sitting meditation'." Iwamoto Kiyomizu answered softly.
Kamiizumi Yito immediately turned around and walked off the stage.
It only took him two seconds to sit upright in his seat and said to Bai Tianhe in a serious tone, "Just now I saw that you really wanted to go up, so I'll just let you take over. I'm always generous!"
Bai Tianhe glanced at him and instinctively felt that something was fishy: "What did you say in Sakura language just now?"
Kamiizumi Yiren scratched the back of his head and laughed: "Nothing, seeing that he spoke the language of cherry blossoms, I couldn't help but chat with him about family matters."
Bai Tianhe glared at him speechlessly, thought about it, and then walked onto the stage with sword in hand.
Bai Tianhe has never been inferior to anyone in his life and has never been afraid!
On the stage, Iwamoto Seigen still had his eyes covered. As Bai Tianhe came on stage, his ears moved slightly and he turned his head as if he was looking at Bai Tianhe.
Continuing in Sakura language, he said, "Although I feel that you are stronger than the one just now, you are still no match for me. Please go down."
Bai Tianhe didn't understand what the other party said, and he had no interest in chatting. Instead, he seriously performed the starting posture of the Jiange sword technique "Tide".
Iwamoto Seigen seemed to sense the movement of Bai Tianhe, so he lowered his head and stopped talking.
He drew the katana from his waist, bent down slightly, put the katana on his shoulder, and then became still, as if he had become a sculpture.
The whole person's aura was restrained to almost nothingness in an instant .
Yu Chengen looked at Iwamoto Seigen's actions and narrowed his eyes slightly.
He looked at Bai Tianhe meaningfully.
However, he did not say anything. Instead, after seeing that both sides were ready, he quickly announced the start of the competition.
Bai Tianhe's expression became solemn.
He is extremely talented and has the sword spirit, so naturally he is extremely sensitive to other people's aura.
The blindfolded Iwamoto Seigen on the opposite side just took up his posture.
Although he restrained his breath to almost nothing.
But it made Bai Tianhe break out in a cold sweat.
So strong!
It’s the sitting license level!
No wonder that kid Shangquan Yiren ran down so fast.
Damn little Sakura!
Cursing Shangquan Yiren in his heart, Bai Tianhe's dignity prevented him from admitting defeat at such a critical moment.
Under the tremendous pressure from Iwamoto Kiyogen, Bai Tianhe gritted his teeth.
The opponent is so strong, there is no way to defeat him.
What if I lose? Will I be embarrassed? Will I get hurt? Will it hurt?
Will Master be disappointed? Will Qi Ji look down on me? Will Shangquan Yiren make fun of me?
Countless thoughts ran through his mind.
All of them gave him a hint that giving up was the best option.
A chaotic tangle of thoughts almost buried his thoughts.
However, he is Daytime River.
The next moment, his eyes became bright, as if they could shine into one's heart.
His mind condensed into a sharp sword, instantly cutting off all distracting thoughts!
How could the path of kendo always be smooth sailing?
Do we have to avoid it just because we may face failure?
How can we grow then?
There will always be someone more talented than you.
Even if I lose this time, I will definitely win in the future.
I believe in my sword.
For me, it is enough to surpass myself.
The intention turned into determination in an instant.
At this moment, Bai Tianhe understood his inner thoughts.
See through yourself!
Light up the way forward!
That’s it – concrete!
Bai Tianhe's cold expression turned into a happy smile, and then he turned into a swift shadow and rushed towards Iwamoto Seigen!
His originally somewhat wavering aura suddenly gathered.
The next moment, the sword intent soared into the sky!
