" Unrivaled Daoist Wushuang, you're being too serious."
"Indeed, indeed! With such a grand event in Divine Sword City, how could we possibly not come?"
Upon hearing Jian Wushuang's words, the surrounding youths began to speak up.
Ye Lin stared at Jian Wushuang's retreating figure, his eyes gleaming.
Jian Wushuang's actions immediately elevated his status significantly.
The way they spoke was as if an elder were addressing a younger person.
"Let me see how your panel looks."
Name: Jian Wushuang
Cultivation level: Peak Golden Core
Fate Rank: Purple
Fate Traits [ Sword Dao Divine ][Ten Years of Hard Work][Amazing Perseverance][Born with Sword Body ]
Destiny: He stopped at the Dao Integration stage. In order to protect the Human Race, he forcibly dragged three powerful Dao Integration stage Demon Race into self-destruction. Thus, a generation of geniuses fell.
Recent Opportunity: A month later, he went to the Sea of No-Delusion to hone his sword. Unexpectedly, he suddenly triggered a mechanism and fell into the cave abode Spirit Transformation True Person cultivator. In the end, he obtained the Life Sword inheritance of Spirit Transformation Realm sword True Person, and from then on, he broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm and made further progress in his sword cultivation.
[ Sword Dao Divine ]: Born for the sword, a sword fanatic, obsessed with the sword his whole life, born for the sword, and will die for the sword.
[Ten Years to Forge a Sword]: In order to nurture his natal divine sword, he did not hesitate to suppress his cultivation level for three years. When the sword is finally drawn, it will be the day that shocks the world.
[Amazing Perseverance]: You possess amazing natural perseverance. To practice swordsmanship, you endured a month of heavy snow with your mortal body. This strong perseverance will enable you to go further on the path of swordsmanship.
[Born with Sword Body ]: On the day of your birth, ten thousand swords floated in the vast sky. Your body can contain a million swords. Like the ocean embracing all rivers, you are magnanimous. You are a sword yourself, and the world is a sword. In the path of the sword, you should be called the leader.
Looking at Jian Wushuang's stats, Ye Lin thought to himself, "Wow, this stats are almost on par with Li Xiaoyao's."
However, compared to Li Xiaoyao, he is still a step behind.
Upon seeing the fortuitous opportunity, Ye Lin's eyes narrowed slightly. The sword dao insights of Spirit Transformation Realm sword True Person throughout his life—this was an immense fortuitous opportunity.
Even a pig, if it received the insights of Spirit Transformation Realm Sword Dao True Person, would probably instantly become a Sword Immortal.
"Hahaha, Unrivaled Master Wushuang's Sword Intent is now approaching perfection; he will likely become a sword immortal in the future."
"Haha, well said."
The surrounding youths burst into laughter.
The title "Sword Immortal" does not refer to cultivation level, but rather to a title of respect. Those who can be called Sword Immortals must have their own unique understanding of the way of the sword.
"You flatter me."
Upon hearing this, Jian Wushuang simply smiled slightly and did not refute it.
Sometimes, being too humble can damage your self-confidence.
"Monk, why do you look so gloomy?"
At this moment, Ye Lin turned to look at Wu Xin, who had a worried Wuxin, his face full of doubt.
"Benefactor, I fear I will suffer a severe beating in three days. I am deeply worried."
Wuxin gave a bitter smile.
Three years ago, Jian Wushuang could overpower him, but now it seems that Jian Wushuang is much stronger than he was three years ago.
Three days later, he was met with another brutal beating.
"However, Jian Wushuang's three years to nurture his natal divine sword shows immense perseverance."
Upon seeing the Jian Wushuang, Wuxin's eyes widened in admiration.
With his Buddha Heart Clarity, he could see the fundamental change in Jian Wushuang at a glance.
To nurture one's natal divine sword, one must use one's own blood and cultivation to nurture it, and this nurturing process must not be interrupted for even a moment.
This is an extremely mentally and physically demanding process, and those who can persevere are people of great willpower.
However, the benefits of doing so are also terrifying.
Three years of honing a sword, and when it is drawn, it will Heaven-Opening.
"What do you think of Jian Wushuang, benefactor?"
Wuxin quietly approached Ye Lin and whispered a question.
"Very strong, stronger than I expected."
Ye Lin said with a face full of certainty.
"Compared to Jian Wushuang, what are your chances of winning?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lin pondered inwardly.
He then slowly began to speak.
"Forty percent."
After Ye Lin finished speaking, Wuxin looked completely astonished.
He wasn't surprised that it was too low, but rather too high.
He only had a 30% chance of winning against Jian Wushuang, while Ye Lin had a 40% chance.
He underestimated Ye Lin.
"If I use the Destruction Sword Intent, the Phoenix Fire, and the power of the Nine-Colored Golden Core, revealing all my trump cards, I have an 80% chance of winning."
The next moment, Ye Lin thought to himself.
The entire gathering lasted for three hours before everyone dispersed and went to their assigned lodgings in Divine Sword City.
The gathering was mainly for the top talents to exchange ideas, while tomorrow, the battle would continue, so it didn't take too long.
Coincidentally, Ye Lin and Wuxin were assigned to the same room.
That's right, it's just one room. Even Divine Sword City can't accommodate so many cultivators, so the accommodations prepared are still a bit too few.
Some cultivators even sat cross-legged in mid-air.
"Donor, see you tomorrow."
Wuxin sat cross-legged on the bed opposite Ye Lin, gave Ye Lin a mysterious smile, and then slowly closed his eyes.
Instantly, the entire room shimmered with golden light, and Buddhist chants filled the air.
If an ordinary person were to come at this time, they would probably be immediately converted and become one of the most loyal followers of the Buddhist Sect.
Ye Lin smiled slightly, and within his soul, the Mystic Light Pagoda quickly activated, resisting the Buddhist light.
The next moment, Ye Lin immediately entered a meditative state.
Wuxin's petty tricks had no effect on him whatsoever.
The night passed quickly, and the sun slowly rose, sending streaks of light rushing towards the square.
"Benefactor, let's go."
At this moment, Wuxin approached Ye Lin with a smile on his face.
Upon arriving at the plaza, Ye Lin noticed a subtle change: another Arena had been added.
"Gentlemen, this extra Arena is open to anyone who wants to challenge you. Simply step onto the Arena and announce the name of the person you wish to challenge."
Seeing the puzzled expressions on the faces of the many cultivators, Lv Xuan, who was in mid-air, smiled and said.
Tianyi, he discovered a problem.
Those were the battles from the past few days; they were all against weaklings, while the real prodigies seemed rather boring.
Some of these prodigies even closed their eyes and fell asleep.
So, to make the Grand Competition more interesting, he built this Arena.
Sure enough, upon hearing Lv Xuan's explanation, the surrounding youths became interested.
"My lord, you are in trouble."
At this moment, Wuxin, who was standing next to Ye Lin, said with a smile.
Ye Lin, however, looked completely puzzled.
However, the next moment, he found out.
A young man was already standing on the Arena.
"Fellow Daoists, True Person, I am Xue Sheng, the Third Prince of the Glazed Imperial Dynasty. This time, I only wish to spar with Fellow Ye Lin, an Outer Sect disciple of the Nameless Mountain. I hope Fellow Ye Lin will grant my request."
Xue Sheng smiled, holding a folding fan in his hand, and gently fanned himself.
" Outer Sect disciples of Nameless Mountain? I didn't expect the reputation of Divine Sword City to be so powerful that even the Outer Sect disciples of Nameless Mountain have been alarmed."
"No matter what, Divine Sword City is the second most powerful force in Tianhe Prefecture."
"However, Xue Sheng is overestimating himself, actually attempting to provoke the Outer Sect disciples of Nameless Mountain."
"I don't think so. While Nameless Mountain may be powerful, who says that Nameless Mountain is a genius?"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding disciples began to murmur amongst themselves.
Ye Lin was speechless; this guy was incredibly petty.
But the next moment, however, something piqued his interest.
