Chapter 68: The Gambling Match Begins, Wang Cang’s Shell Like Protection!

Victor patted Song Qianqian’s shoulder lightly and said, “There’s nothing to be depressed about. You’re only 13 years old. There’s plenty of time. Three years later, you’ll definitely not be weaker than her. You have to believe in yourself.”

“Okay.”

Song Qianqian nodded, feeling a little better.

Ji Mengyun originally felt a little regretful. She looked at Victor and then looked at Song Qianqian. Suddenly, she beamed. The relationship between the two seemed to be extraordinary.

This was even more interesting. When a beautiful girl saw her idol being beaten to a pulp.

What could be more interesting than this?

Ji Mengyun walked down the stage. Her sidekick immediately came up to her and said with a big smile, “Congratulations, Sister Yun, you won!”

“It’s just a little sister. If I can’t even win her, how can I compete with the others? However, this little sister is quite talented. Her perception and control of spiritual power are top-notch among the core disciples of the Heavenly Sword Mountain. When the time comes, she might be recruited into the Heavenly Sword Sect.”

As Ji Mengyun thought about it, the referee suddenly announced, “The sixth match, Lu Xiaohao versus Guo Feibai!”

Lu Xiaohao was the attentive follower beside Ji Mengyun. Although this guy was focused on flattering, his own strength was not too bad. He was also in the ninth level of the spirit gathering realm. After all, being able to enter the Heavenly Sword Mountain meant that he had some skills.

Hearing that it was his turn, Lu Xiaohao stood up excitedly.

“Big sister, it’s my turn. I’ll be right back.”

Ji Mengyun originally didn’t think highly of Lu Xiaohao. She glanced at the information of Lu Xiaohao’s opponent and shook her head helplessly in her heart. This Lu Xiaohao would definitely lose.

An outer sect disciple at the 11th level of the spirit gathering realm was probably the highest realm among the outer sect disciples.

Although Ji Mengyun also looked down on those outer sect disciples, it had to be said that these people still had some standards, and were much stronger than the ordinary disciples of the Heavenly Sword Mountain.

“Big sister, I’m lucky. Looking at his clothes, I can tell that he’s an outer sect disciple.”

Before Lu Xiaohao had even entered the arena, victory was already written on his face. After all, most of the outer sect disciples, regardless of realm or cultivation method, could not compare to them, the disciples of the Mystic Realm.

“Let the competition begin!”

As soon as the referee finished speaking, Lu Xiaohao took the initiative and struck Guo Feibai with his palm.

In his impression, many of the disciples from the outside world were just a bunch of flowery pillows. With one look, one could tell that they had merely been training hard in the sect and that they had no combat experience at all. As long as he struck fast enough, he would definitely be able to catch the opponent off guard.

Facing Lu Xiaohao’s palm, Guo Feibai’s footsteps were steady. He did not even pull out the long sword on his back. His aura exploded, and an overwhelming sword force burst out.

The Sword of the Great River!

On the arena, the air was suddenly filled with a sense of oppression. Lu Xiaohao felt the surrounding scenery change. He seemed to see a nine-meandered Yellow River descending from the sky and rushing toward him.

Lu Xiaohao’s mind was in a mess. For a moment, He panicked and could not locate Guo Feibai. He felt that he was about to drown in the river.

Guo Feibai casually stepped in front of Lu Xiaohao and threw a punch.

Boom!

Lu Xiaohao flew backward and crashed heavily into the protective shield. He fell to the ground.

“The sixth match, Guo Feibai wins!”

The referee looked at Guo Feibai deeply. Guo Feibai surprised him more than Victor did.

The extreme control of his aura made him think that he was a core disciple of the Sword Control Peak. It was his well-hidden power fluctuation that made Lu Xiaohao misjudge his opponent’s realm. This led Lu Xiaohao to reveal a flaw as he panicked.

The audience was stunned. Why did this external disciple win just like the previous one?

Moreover, was this Lu Xiaohao a fool?

How could he just watch helplessly as the other party sent him flying with a punch?

Lu Xiaohao got up from the ground and walked down the stage with a pale face. He recalled the silent yet suffocating sword force that had shocked everyone just now. He was a little afraid now. If that Guo Feibai wanted to kill him, he might not even need three breaths.

He had actually concealed his strength and his own aura.

“Boss… i…” Lu Xiaohao was still in shock. He had not sensed the true strength of the other party. Recalling his actions just now, it was as if he was in a hurry to die.

Ji Mengyun had no reason for Lu Xiaohao. She just looked at Guo Feibai on the ring and touched her chin with one hand. “The disciples of the outside world are getting more and more interesting. I have underestimated them.”

Victor, who was watching from the side, couldn’t help but exclaim in his heart. Guo Feibai was indeed worthy of being a disciple of the Sword Hut, the strongest sword sect in the outside world.

This kind of aura had practically reached the stage where the wielder and the sword had united as one.

When he did not use his sword, he appeared calm and reserved. However, once he attacked, he was like an exceptional sword, shocking everyone around him. As his opponent, even just by locking eyes with him, one would feel immense pressure.

Guo Feibai turned around and left the arena. Before he left, he glanced at Victor. However, it was only a quick glance. He stopped in his tracks for a moment and proceeded to leave the stage.

Although the Qingyun Sect and the Sword Hut were both external sects, in terms of combat strength, the Sword Hut had always been one of the top sects. Moreover, the Sword Hut was very strict in accepting disciples. They only accepted disciples with top talent.

Guo Feibai had the strongest combat strength for his generation of the Sword Hut disciples. Victor was looking forward to fighting with Guo Feibai, and his heart was burning with fighting spirit.

..

“The 11th match, Victor versus Wang Cang!”

Finally, it was Victor’s turn to battle with Wang Cang. As the referee announced the match, Song Xiuwen and Wang Ce, who were in the audience seats, also perked up.

The two of them were sitting not far from each other. When they heard the referee’s announcement, they looked at each other and saw a smile in each other’s eyes.

Song Xiuwen glanced at him and then turned his head to look at the arena.

Wang Ce touched his chin, and there was a strange look in his eyes. He had to admit that he had underestimated Victor’s strength, but Wang Cang’s strength was not as simple as it looked.

After Victor defeated Qi Xian, a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Mountain, Wang Cang had stopped looking down on him. Even with his strength, it would not be as easy for him to defeat Qi Xian in one move as Victor did.

Before the match started, Wang Cang had already condensed his spiritual power surrounding his body, forming a layer of light membrane. This technique was very easy for Wang Cang, who was already at the 11th level of the spirit gathering realm.

“Oh, it’s a shield to defend against my sword attack. I didn’t expect you to be so prepared.”

“Hmmph, since I accepted your bet, of course I need to have some understanding of you. Back in the East Ocean Restaurant, you used your sword force to surprise and defeat Nangong Aotian, a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Mountain. I already knew about this. How could I not be prepared?”

Sword force attacks would have a miraculous effect when the other party was not paying attention. In a battle where the difference in strength between the two was not big, it could even achieve instant defeat. However, if the opponent was prepared in advance, they could defend the attack.

On the other hand, the spiritual energy shield could produce a shock wave when the sword force arrived, thus achieving a mitigating effect.

“This is going to be interesting. This Wang Cang actually practiced such a technique. Let’s see what Victor will do.”
