My Sword Strike Will Be Very Cool!

"This match is only for exchange and sparring. Weapons are forbidden, but Talent-type abilities are unrestricted."

"Stop at the right point. The match ends immediately if either side admits defeat."

On the martial stage, the referee was explaining the rules.

The spectators were discussing heatedly.

"Opening Meridian Fourth Layer against Fifth Layer? This match isn't fair."

"It really isn't fair, but you missed one condition. It's a Fourth Layer who awakened a B-grade Martial Talent against a Fifth Layer. Now that's what you call unfair to this fellow named Chu Sheng."

Even in Shengze City, not everyone knew about this White-Clad Little Sword Immortal from Third Middle School.

Much less that he had already awakened a B-grade Martial Talent.

"Huh!?"

The man cried out in surprise. "A B-grade Martial Talent? Then this match will be worth watching. I thought Liu Xiong had water in his brain before, arranging this sort of match."

The twin-tailed girl from the Jingwu Bureau said,

"This Chu Sheng looks far too sharp and exposed. He must be especially arrogant."

The middle-aged man grinned. "He got specially recruited by Dragon Martial Academy. If I were him, I'd be even more arrogant."

"But isn't he afraid of capsizing in the gutter? There are always people beyond people. What if he really runs into someone stronger than him? Wouldn't he be finished?"

"Maybe he won't be arrogant by then. But against someone a whole minor realm below him, he does indeed have the capital to be arrogant."

At those words, the ponytailed girl puffed out her cheeks.

"Looks like he still doesn't know Xu Ye's Talent. I wonder whether he'll still be so arrogant later..."

At last, the referee finished explaining the rules.

The match officially began!!!

The atmosphere in the arena also reached its peak!

Everyone from Third Middle School shouted Xu Ye's name in unison.

Their voices were like mountains toppling and seas overturning, driving the home-field advantage to the utmost limit.

On the martial stage,

Xu Ye spoke with an apologetic expression.

"Sorry, but I may not be able to spare your dignity. I have to finish this quickly. Someone is waiting for me."

With that, he raised one hand toward the heavens,

and shouted—

"Sword Come!!!"

The next moment, a crisp sword cry rang out.

A dark-blue longsword abruptly appeared, floating three inches above his palm.

The gale stirred up by its sword qi sent his robes fluttering wildly.

A powerful aura comparable to the Opening Meridian Seventh Layer swept outward.

The atmosphere across the entire venue reached another fever pitch.

Seeing the faintly puzzled expression on Chu Sheng's face, Xu Ye smiled softly.

"I know what you're thinking. You want to say I'm breaking the rules, but this is my Talent. It isn't restricted by the rules."

"So—"

"Are you ready?"

"My sword strike will be very cool!"

"..."

Xu Ye ignited the atmosphere once more. That line simply had too much flavor!

Under everyone's watchful eyes,

Chu Sheng frowned slightly.

"What you said makes sense."

"But I still feel that it is somewhat at odds with justice."

"Fine—"

As he spoke, he finally stopped concealing his aura.

His vast qi sea exploded with a thunderous roar!

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth abruptly boiled over!

Fragments of lightning burst forth like fallen stars and shattered rain,

while arcs of electricity tore through the air with crackling sounds.

The immense pressure unique to the Qi Sea Realm erupted.

"Come! Let me see just how cool it is!!!"

In an instant, the entire martial arena fell into deathly silence.

Everyone froze where they stood, their throats seeming to be clutched by an invisible giant hand.

Qi Sea Realm!

A high school student in the Qi Sea Realm!

What kind of joke was this!!?

Liu Xiong's eyes bulged. "It's over. This is really over..."

Originally, he had wanted to use this exchange match as an advertisement.

Instead, he was advertising Baian Second Middle School.

Xu Ye could fight above his level, that was true, but no matter how far above his level he fought, he couldn't leap across to the Qi Sea Realm.

What the hell was the difference between an adult fighting a child?

In the spectator stands, the twin-tailed girl's cherry-pink lips trembled violently.

"Qi Sea Realm! A high school student in the Qi Sea Realm!? If he's human, I'll eat him!"

The middle-aged man beside her swallowed hard.

"We really came at the right time. We're witnessing history..."

The people from Baian Second Middle School merely twisted their mouths.

They had long expected this outcome.

On the martial stage.

Xu Ye's knuckles turned white, and cold sweat dripped continuously from his forehead.

Could he win?

It would be difficult!

Even if the other party was merely a Qi Sea Realm cultivator steeped in medicine.

Damn it, what was going on?

Why was he in the Qi Sea Realm!!!

It wasn't as if Xu Ye had never considered that Chu Sheng might raise his realm by another one or two minor layers over these past few days.

But he possessed a Companion Sword Spirit, and his true strength was comparable to the Seventh Layer. The advantage had been his.

But this was the fucking Qi Sea Realm, nearly an entire major realm above him!

Just as his legs trembled and he hesitated over whether to admit defeat,

"What's wrong? This is your only chance in this lifetime to stand on the same stage as me."

"You want to give up so easily?"

"You bastard..."

At those words, Xu Ye suddenly lifted his head. The fear on his face was gone, replaced by a few traces of a smile.

The way of the sword cared about pressing forward without looking back.

In that instant, his state of mind became utterly clear.

His companion spirit sword hummed, as though beating a war drum for him!

If Xu Ye's chance of victory had previously been less than ten percent,

then now, his chance of winning was at least twenty percent!

Xu Ye propped himself up with his longsword. His white robes fluttered, and he truly looked like an unparalleled Sword Immortal.

"Then I shall grant your wish."

"I hope you don't blink!!!"

The atmosphere on the stage rose to another climax. No one had expected that, facing a monster in the Qi Sea Realm, Xu Ye would still dare to draw his sword against him.

With courage like that alone,

his future achievements would definitely not be low!

Xu Ye pushed with one hand, and the dark-blue glow flowing over the sword body abruptly surged.

The next moment, the spirit sword shot forth!

Screech—

The spirit sword split the air, erupting with a sound like silk being torn apart.

Wherever it passed, the air warped in ripples like water.

Just as everyone was astonished by the terror of this move,

the next second, a clang rang out.

Under the stunned, even horrified gazes of everyone—including Xu Ye—

Chu Sheng grabbed the spirit sword—

and snapped it in half in an instant.

"Is that all?"

He had thought the sword created by the Talent would be something impressive.

He had not expected it to be no different from an ordinary weapon.

Its weakness was glaringly obvious, and it broke with one bend.

Across from him, Xu Ye's expression changed drastically.

"You... Pfft! Pfft pfft!! Pfft pfft pfft!!!"

Before he could finish speaking, he vomited blood—vomited it like his intestines had been pierced through, continuously and without end.

His companion spirit sword could unlock more functions as his realm rose.

Reforging it would not be a problem either.

But those were matters for the future.

Now that the spirit sword was broken, it was broken. There was no saving it!!

That meant his Talent had been completely crippled.

With rage attacking his heart, Xu Ye rolled his eyes back and toppled headfirst onto the martial stage.

Before closing his eyes,

he saw the cup of lemonade in the girl's hand.

Then he vomited another mouthful of blood.

Only then did he close his eyes unwillingly.

Won an unfair match and destroyed the tool used to commit the crime

Justice Points +400

The arena was silent as a flock of crows...

Just then, a tremendous boom erupted from the martial stage.

Countless plumes of thick smoke billowed into the sky.

In the spectator stands, three black shadows rushed out.

The three had targeted only Xu Ye, never expecting an even greater genius than Xu Ye—Chu Sheng—to appear midway.

That explosion could not kill someone at the First Layer of the Qi Sea Realm, so they were forced to reveal themselves, intending to personally finish Chu Sheng.
