It seems that the Rodi Kingdom has a grudge against the Kingdom of Metz, so the people of Rodi are very ruthless and show no mercy.

The fourth match of the expert tournament.

The player representing the country of the Rodi Kingdom is Pranjic, who is known as the best fighter in Rodi.

This was a handsome, tall swordsman, dressed in blue with flowing long hair, carrying a heavy sword on his shoulder. With a few light steps, amidst the cheers of the warriors from the Rodi Kingdom behind him, he flashed onto the sword-testing platform.

The handsome swordsman, with an arrogant and overbearing expression, stepped onto the testing platform. Crimson flames, like raging fire, shot up from his body, turning the entire platform red. Five palm-sized Star Vortex flickered in and out of existence within the Dou Qi, swirling around the handsome swordsman's body. These five Star Vortex indicated that Pranjic had advanced to the ranks of Five-Star Class swordsman.

At less than thirty years old, to have reached the Five-Star Class level, this handsome swordsman can be considered exceptionally Zongheng.

The stronger Pranjic becomes, the greater the pressure on the Kingdom of Kingdom of Metz.

He stood on the sword-testing platform, gripping his heavy sword and pointing it directly at the rest area of Kingdom of Metz. He made an extremely contemptuous and provocative gesture with his thumb down, spat in the direction of the Kingdom of Metz's rest area, and then stomped on it hard with his foot. His disdain was undisguised, and he wore a slight smile, exuding extreme arrogance.

For a moment, no expert from Mays dared to step onto the stage to fight.

Led by some warriors from the Rodi Kingdom, more than a thousand spectators around the number twenty-eight sword-testing platform began to laugh loudly, and some even pinched their mouths and made sharp, piercing hisses.

I don't like that guy.

Angela's soft, boneless little hand tightly gripped Sun Fei's Big Hand. Suddenly, she whispered in Sun Fei's ear, her voice clear and sweet. The beautiful girl clearly felt that the handsome swordsman on the testing platform did not behave in accordance with the principles of a true warrior. She moved closer, and the ends of her black hair under her cloak carried a sweet fragrance that wafted into Sun Fei's nose, causing a ticklish sensation.

"Of course you can't like him, you can only like me!" Sun Fei smiled and squeezed his fiancée's soft little hand.

"No... I mean, he's too arrogant," Angela explained, blushing.

"But a lot of people say I'm arrogant too," Sun Fei continued teasing her, "So you dislike me too, huh!"

Angela was stunned for a moment, then squeezed Sun Fei's Big Hand hard with her small hand.

Amidst the crowded, noisy throng, two figures, one tall and one short, both draped in large black cloaks, their faces partially obscured by loose, pointed hats, seemed unafraid of being recognized. They bickered sweetly, their hands occasionally making small gestures, like young lovers in the throes of first love, wholeheartedly enjoying their precious time together.

In a daze, Sun Fei felt as if time had flowed back to his previous life before he transmigrated, to the moment when he stood side by side with the girl he had a crush on while lining up to raise the national flag on the high school playground—a moment filled with heart-pounding excitement, blushing, and exhilaration.

Back then, the girl Sun Fei Sun Fei admired never even glanced at him. But now, the beautiful, Goddess -like girl beside him poured all her tenderness and affection into Sun Fei. The more they compared, the more Sun Fei felt the importance of this pure and flawless girl beside him to his life.

Sun Fei first truly felt a sense of goodwill towards this other world when he saw Angela.

Although he had never said it to the beautiful young woman beside him, Sun Fei had long ago sworn in his heart that he would protect her for the rest of his life.

The two were immersed in a sweetness that only they could feel, when suddenly, something unexpected happened.

Suddenly, the clamor around the sword-testing platform vanished without a trace. Everyone shut their mouths tightly. Even the dozen or so Rodi Kingdom warriors who had been leading the commotion and shouting the loudest earlier all fell silent and lowered their heads, no longer daring to glance at the sword-testing platform.

Sun Fei looked up in astonishment.

Suddenly, a figure dressed in a coarse cloth robe emerged from the rest area of Kingdom of Metz.

The figure was neither imposing nor tall. A rusty, ordinary longsword with a dozen or so small nicks hung diagonally on his back as he walked step by step toward the testing platform. He didn't exude any powerful aura, nor did he unleash any soaring flames of Dou Qi. He was just like an ordinary person, slowly and deliberately climbing the steps beside the testing platform.

He looked like an ordinary person without any fighting ability.

The half-rusted longsword on his back looked more like a woodcutter's axe than a sword used by a warrior to kill.

However, among the thousands of people surrounding the sword-testing platform, not a single one dared to treat this person as an ordinary person, or to regard this sword as an ordinary sword.

Because everyone knows who this person is.

Because everyone knows who that sword has killed.

Sun Fei's gaze sharpened; he recognized the man's identity.

[ One Sword ].

This person is [a piece of] [item].

The eldest Prince of the Kingdom of Metz, formerly recognized by the entire empire as the number one expert among its 250 vassal states [ One Sword ].

A super expert whom even the eldest prince Arshavin and the second prince Dominguez couldn't win over to their side despite their best efforts.

The One Sword that made a stunning appearance atop the East Mountain Chambord City, single-handedly defeating the deadly formation of five assassins set up by the Alluring Witch Paris in a single move – [ One Sword ].

Before King of Chambord rose to power, [ One Sword ] was a legend among the vassal states.

Everyone knows that his martial arts skills are profound, but no one knows exactly how profound they are, because every time [ One Sword ] strikes, he wins with a single move. No one has ever seen him strike a second time, nor has anyone ever seen anyone withstand One Sword from him. In every battle, [ One Sword ] only strikes One Sword, so no one can see his true strength. This is how the title [ One Sword ] came about.

At this moment, [ One Sword ] finally stepped onto the testing platform.

His long-standing reputation and invincible legends silenced the crowd around him, preventing them from making any noise or jeers in front of this top expert of the vassal state.

Sun Fei smiled.

He knew that the outcome of this battle between experts was no longer in doubt.

In the battle atop East Mountain in the past, [ One Sword White Snow Peak Hermit was able to easily repel the combined attack of Dani Five-Star Class expert, and four other formidable assassins. Now, the handsome swordsman Pranjic, clad in blue and light armor, is only at the Five-Star Class Initial Stage and is no match for [ One Sword ].

But no one expected that [ One Sword ]'s first move after stepping onto the testing platform would not be aimed at his opponent on the platform.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!

A dozen or so incredibly sharp sword energies shot out from the air the instant [ One Sword ]'s shoulder twitched slightly.

"Ahhh..."

Amidst a series of screams, while everyone was still in shock, a dozen or so large heads shot into the sky from the crowd below the sword-testing platform, and a dozen streams of blood spurted out, staining half the sky red.

Terrified screams rang out, and a large clearing immediately appeared in the crowd.

The men killed were all soldiers from the Rodi Kingdom who had been the most vocal and boisterous in the crowd. All sixteen of them had their heads severed by the sword energy, their limbs still twitching as they fell backward to the ground, their blood staining a large area. These sixteen soldiers were of low strength and, faced with the sudden attack of [ One Sword ], had no power to resist whatsoever. They didn't even have time to react before being killed on the spot.

A pungent, Bloody stench immediately filled the air.

Seeing the girl beside him covering her nose, Sun Fei frowned, waved his hand, and sixteen corpses were lifted by a gentle force and flown away, neatly arranged in front of the Rodi Kingdom's rest area. The bloodstains on the ground were cleaned up in an instant, and the pungent Bloody of blood in the air was also completely eliminated.

On the sword-testing platform, [ One Sword ] seemed to sense something, turned his head to look at the crowd below, staring at Sun Fei and Angela with bright eyes, but it was unclear what he was thinking.

"Hey? You're just One Sword?" The blue-clad, lightly armored Pranjic from the Rodi Kingdom lowered the longsword from his shoulder, scrutinizing his opponent with a serious expression. Suddenly, he chuckled, "I thought you had some amazing skills, but you seem to be nothing special. Heh heh, draw your sword and see if you're really like those boring bards who boast that you never draw a second sword against any opponent."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pranjic's aura surged again, and the fiery red Dou Qi aura more than doubled in size.

"Hmm?" Sun Fei's eyes narrowed.

Although what just happened was sudden, he could tell that the handsome warrior from the Kingdom of the Rodi Kingdom ' strength had suddenly increased in a strange way. It seemed that he had taken some kind of berserk potion to stimulate his potential and slow down the rotation speed of his Dou Qi Star Vortex, thus increasing his strength in a short period of time. However, such a method obviously had endless troubles. Even though Sun Fei was only a half-baked alchemist at the moment, he was well aware of the drawbacks.

It seems that the Rodi Kingdom has indeed put in a lot of effort to win this regional ranking competition.

"Hahahaha, [ One Sword ], your legend is about to end today!" With his strength surging, Puranich slowly approached his opponent step by step, constantly adjusting his physical condition. The speed of his Dou Qi vortex increased, and his aura became more and more terrifying. In the end, he was completely engulfed in the fiery red Dou Qi flames, leaving only a faint silhouette.
