The Contest for First Place in the True Disciple Tournament

"Senior Brother Ye is invincible!"

"Senior Brother Xiao will surely win!"

"..."

The Mirror Lake was packed with people, and their cheers were deafening, like a tsunami.

With only a quarter of an hour remaining before the final of the True Disciple Competition, almost all the disciples still in the academy came to the Mirror Lake to watch the final of the True Disciple Competition.

Today's final match is between Ye Lingxiao from Heavenly Spirit Institute and Xiao Chen from Miscellaneous Dao Institute.

Both of them have become Fengyun at the Dao-Seeking Academy in recent years.

Ye Lingxiao is known as the Sword Venerable Lingxiao. Since joining the Dao-Seeking Academy, he has never been defeated and can be described as invincible. His Lingxiao Sacred Sword is even more terrifying.

In this grand competition of true disciples, he only needed one sword strike to defeat all his opponents each time he appeared; no one ever saw him use a second sword strike.

Xiao Chen's reputation was equally impressive. Three years ago, in the Outer Sect Grand Competition, he became the top outer sect leader despite being labeled a cripple, and then broke through the True Fate and Heavenly Origin realms in a short period of time.

In private, the disciples respectfully call Xiao Chen Xiao Chen Black-Robed Sword Venerable because he was known as the Black-Robed God of Slaughter in the Mist Marsh.

In this grand competition of true disciples, Xiao Chen had previously defeated his opponent with a single sword strike, and no one could force him to use a second strike.

Their performances were truly outstanding; these two powerful sword cultivators were about to face off today.

The winner will become one of the candidates for the Holy Son of the Dao-Seeking Academy. This is not only a recognition of their strength, but also a symbol of status. The Holy Son of the Dao-Seeking Academy is on par with the Ten Great Heads, and the candidates for the Holy Son also have the same status as the elders of the various academies.

At this moment, Ye Lingxiao and Xiao Chen stood behind Carefree Sword King and Chu Feng respectively. Neither of them took the initiative to look at the other, but simply waited quietly for the final to begin.

The one presiding over this final match was the Grand Elder of the Internal Affairs Hall of the Dao-Seeking Academy. He appeared on Mirror Lake, stepping through the air, and swept his calm gaze over everyone present.

"Gentlemen, today is the final of the True Disciple Competition of my Dao-Seeking Academy. I hereby declare the final open. Now, please welcome our two finalists, Ye Lingxiao and Xiao Chen, to the stage."

As soon as he finished speaking, two figures flew through the sky on swords. Ye Lingxiao exuded an air of nobility, and every move he made radiated an arrogant aura.

Xiao Chen, on the other hand, gives off an impression of sharp brilliance and unstoppable momentum.

The moment the two stood on Mirror Lake, the powerful aura emanating from them transformed the once tranquil Mirror Lake into a chilling scene.

"The final match begins!"

After speaking, the Grand Elder of the Internal Affairs Hall flew into the sky, quietly awaiting the start of the battle.

Xiao Chen bowed slightly. "Greetings, Senior Brother Ye."

Ye Lingxiao's lips curled slightly upward, revealing a faint smile, "Junior Brother Xiao, greetings."

After saying this, both of them drew their swords.

Clang!

The moment the two swords were drawn, the aura emanating from the two men also surged.

The terrifying pressure spread outwards from the battlefield, instantly enveloping an area of dozens of miles.

Neither of them intended to make a move; they simply continued to emanate their auras, attempting to overwhelm each other with their imposing presence.

Quiet!

All the spectators on the Mirror Lake fell silent, their eyes glued to the two figures on the lake's surface, afraid of missing a single move.

call...

A gentle breeze blew by, causing ripples on the lake's surface. Xiao Chen instinctively tightened his grip on his sword, while Ye Lingxiao narrowed his eyes slightly.

Neither of their small movements escaped the other's notice, and the swords in their hands moved accordingly.

With a casual wave of his hand, Xiao Chen unleashed Sword Qi that stretched for dozens of feet in an instant.

Ye Lingxiao slashed fiercely, the sword light flashing hundreds of feet.

Boom!

After their sword strikes clashed in mid-air, the two did not stop their movements. In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they had exchanged hundreds of blows.

In an instant, Mirror Lake was rippled with waves, and explosions echoed wherever the two Sword Qi struck.

The audience was dazzled and deeply moved by the spectacle.

After a hundred moves, the two retreated several steps.

Ye Lingxiao slowly raised the sword in his hand and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Xiao, you are qualified to be my opponent. Let me witness your Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin."

Xiao Chen casually twirled his sword and said, "I've heard that Senior Brother Ye's Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens is Peerless. I wonder if I'll be able to witness it today?"

You'll see him soon!

As Ye Lingxiao spoke, he slowly sheathed his sword, and his aura returned to its peak.

At the same time, Xiao Chen saw Ye Lingxiao's movement and also prepared to thrust forward.

"Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin!"

Xiao Chen casually thrust his sword forward, and in an instant, countless Sword Qi flew towards Ye Lingxiao like a storm.

"Flying Immortal with One Sword!"

Ye Lingxiao suddenly swung his hand and struck with his sword. Dao Sword, as dazzling as lightning and as long as a rainbow across the sky, was unstoppable!

Wherever that Dao Sword reached, the Sword Qi emanating from the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin was utterly crushed.

Ye Lingxiao's lips curled up slightly. Although he was an arrogant person, he would not completely ignore the sword moves and techniques of any opponent. Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle.

"Xiao Chen, I have already seen through your ' Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin!!!"

These words shocked everyone present!

Xiao Chen's Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin is the strongest sword technique in the hearts of countless sword cultivators, but now it has actually been deciphered by Senior Brother Ye. Just how strong is Senior Brother Ye?

Out of the corner of their eyes, everyone in the stands turned to Chu Feng, only to see Chu Feng calmly sip his tea, giving off an air of unperturbed composure.

Just then, a sudden change occurred on the field. Xiao Chen casually twirled his sword, and a Taiji diagram appeared, effortlessly blocking Ye Lingxiao's Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens.

Ye Lingxiao's eyes widened in astonishment upon seeing Xiao Chen unharmed. "This... this is impossible! What kind of swordsmanship was that? How could it block my sword strike?"

Taiji Sword Technique.

Xiao Chen showed no sign of defeat, but rather a fierce fighting spirit. He calmly said, "Senior Brother Ye's 'Flying Immortal with One Sword' is extremely powerful, fast, and yang. I will counter it with the 'softest, slowest, and yin' of Taiji Sword Technique, which will naturally break your sword technique."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingxiao's face turned ashen. He gripped his sword tightly and said in a deep voice, "You forced me to do this!"

"Opening the Heavens with One Sword!"

Clang!

Ye Lingxiao suddenly swung his sword, unleashing a torrent of Sword Qi that seemed poised to tear the sky apart!

On the stands, the Carefree Sword King, witnessing this scene, stood up in agitation and roared, "Nonsense! How could this kid overexert himself with that sword strike? His body can't take it!"

Xiao Chen remained calm upon seeing the sword strike. He held his breath, Spirit Condensation his energy, and unleashed a powerful thrust. "Yin Yang Wuji, Ten Thousand Swords Return to One!"

The moment he made his move, countless Sword Qi suddenly appeared behind him, all of Sword Qi converged into a yin-yang Taiji.

Sword Qi burst forth from the Taiji diagram, and a Sword Qi hundreds of feet long appeared out of nowhere!

A sword across the river!!!

Rumble!!!

With a tremendous explosion, terrifying Sword Qi swept across half of Mirror Lake.

Splash!!!

Huge waves surged into the sky, engulfing the two people in the air.

After several dozen breaths, the spray finally fell back into the lake from the sky.

Everyone present turned their gaze to the two figures on Mirror Lake...
