Chapter 82 The last winning streak.
This disciple from Dongxian Peak was at the same realm as Mu Fuyun, and his moves were not too radical, rather he was taking a steady and cautious approach. Therefore, the first few moves were neither too strong nor too slow, and the two seemed to be evenly matched, yet both were holding back.
In the eyes of others, this competition always lacks some ups and downs, and is not as exciting and interesting as the previous competition. With so much back and forth, it seems that we can only wait and see who makes a mistake first. If no one makes a mistake, then we have to wait and see who runs out of energy and can't hold on.
They all thought that Mu Fuyun was using a similar method to the one he used against Cai Haoshi just now, and that he would continue to fight in a lukewarm manner.
But Mu Fuyun knew that this was not his intention.
She just wanted to borrow a few moves to see Dongxianfeng's unique swordsmanship.
Yu Cen was a disciple of Dongxian Peak. He had recently learned a new set of sword techniques and had shown it to her, hoping that she would point out any deviations.
Although she found several areas that needed improvement based on her two years of sword practice experience, she did not jump to conclusions because she had never seen anyone else use this sword technique, so she did not say much.
Today I met a disciple from Dongxian Peak, who is also Yu Cen’s senior, so naturally I have to observe him carefully.
Coincidentally, the first move he used was that sword technique, and he also used several other moves interspersed throughout the rest of the move.
Mu Fuyun saw clearly that although this disciple's strength was slightly inferior to hers, she still watched his every move carefully and compared it with her previous judgment.
When it was almost time, Fang gathered his strength and used his killing move, which was the last move of Fengban Liuyun Sword.
As Tianyan's introductory sword technique, the disciples had already learned it when they were in the outer sect, and they were very familiar with it.
"I thought it was some kind of ultimate move, but it turned out to be this?"
"It seems a bit sloppy to use such basic moves in a fight on the trial stage."
"Yes, the Wind Companion Flowing Cloud Sword is only for beginners. Whether it's for attack or defense, it can't compare to other sword techniques."
After becoming inner disciples, most disciples rarely use the Fengban Liuyun Sword because it is too basic. Especially as the number of sword techniques they learn increases, many people no longer use this set of sword techniques except for occasional transitional moves during competitions.
Mu Fuyun didn't know, nor did she care what others thought. In her opinion, it made sense for Fengban Liuyun Sword to become a compulsory sword technique for all disciples to learn.
If this set of sword techniques is used properly, its power is no less than other more difficult and advanced sword techniques they learned later.
For example, the last trick she is using now——
With a swipe of the sword, the spiritual power was stirred into a whirlpool like flowing water, and the whirlpool gathered into a wave, rushing towards the opponent.
Everyone thought that the Fengban Liuyun Sword would not be very powerful, but who knew that the sword intent, like clouds and waves, came with such powerful force that it pressed down like a tidal wave.
The disciple from Dongxian Peak didn't take this move too seriously at first. He was about to raise his sword to fight back, but he found that before the opponent's sword intent even touched him, it had already caused the surrounding air to flow rapidly, wrapping around his limbs and making it difficult for him to move.
He used his spiritual power to forcibly break the shackles, controlled the sword in his hand, and wanted to split the vortex created by Mu Fuyun's sword intent, but it was too late.
The sword intent completely suppressed him. Although they were at the same level, he found that his own strength seemed completely insignificant.
The outcome was clear. The instructor brought down his hammer and declared loudly, "Lingshan Zemu Fuyun wins."
"...Is this the Fengban Liuyun Sword?"
"Why is it different from what I learned?"
Everyone was a little confused for a moment. Xu Huaiyan, who had been silent the whole time, said, "Actually, when I was still in the outer sect, the instructors once said that the Wind Companion Flowing Cloud Sword may seem easy, but it is quite difficult to truly comprehend its subtleties."
These words were said by the instructors to all the outer disciples when they first started learning swordsmanship.
At that time, when they first entered the sect, they were also a little scared by these words, but as time went by, few people remembered it. Now that Xu Huaiyan suddenly mentioned it, it caused many disciples to think deeply.
The situation here was seen clearly by Elder Chang of Dongxian Peak in the stands. After hearing what Xu Huaiyan said, he also sent a message over.
"Huai Yan is right. This sword technique is far more advanced than you imagine. In the hands of someone who knows how to use it, it can show even greater power. You children will have a lot to study in the future."
When everyone heard the elder's voice, they immediately bowed their heads and expressed their willingness to learn.
"Next."
After Mu Fuyun finished his ceremony, he did not rest at all and directly invited the next challenger to come on stage. At the same time, he used secret language to convey a message to Yu Cen, briefly pointing out several flaws in his swordsmanship, and asked him to mention them to the disciple from Dongxian Peak who had just lost the competition.
In this case, she couldn't say it on the spot, nor was it convenient for her to say more in front of the other party afterwards. It would be better for Yu Cen to do it for her.
Yu Cen, who was standing in the audience, was waiting for the next competition with everyone else. Suddenly, he heard Mu Fuyun's voice transmission, and hurriedly fumbled for paper and pen from his mustard seed bag and wrote it down hastily, attracting the attention of people nearby.
Next, Mu Fuyun won several competitions without any trouble.
She always takes a steady and cautious approach, then looks for the opponent's flaws. No matter if the opponent is in the early Jindan stage at the same level as her, or in the middle Jindan stage slightly higher than her, she can kill him with one blow.
Although it took a little time, the loss of spiritual power was small. In addition, she took some rare and precious materials for strengthening qi and replenishing essence given by her classmates last night, so she still felt that the qi sea in her dantian was about 60% full.
"We've already won nine games, and there's only one left!" Hongying, her advisor, looked at the impressive battle records on the stone tablet next to her, as if they were all her own achievements. She was even more excited than she was. "Fuyun, are you okay now?"
Although she was happy, she did not forget to care about Mu Fuyun. After all, in the previous trials and competitions, she could see her suddenly become weak from time to time.
"It doesn't matter, we can still win another game."
As soon as Mu Fuyun finished speaking, Zhan Yao on the second stage shouted, put the sword in front of the opponent's neck, and ended the last competition.
She is not as steady and cautious as Mu Fuyun. Once she steps onto the trial stage, she will give it her all, no matter the level of her opponent's strength or how many games are left.
Therefore, after ten consecutive competitions, she was exhausted, suffered several injuries, and was shaking all over.
When the instructor shouted the result, she even spat out a stream of blood from her mouth, which fell on the shoulder of the opponent who was held in front of her.
Even so, she waited until the instructor finished speaking before she let go of her hands and put away her sword.
After bowing to his opponent, he gave up the trial platform regardless of Xiao Yan's worries and decided to see the situation of Mu Fuyun next to him.
Seeing that she was staggering when walking, Xiao Yan quickly stepped forward to support her.
The tenth challenger on platform three was none other than Senior Brother Chen Tian from Taiqing Peak, who had been driven off the stage by Mu Fuyun earlier.
Chen Tian was obviously holding a grudge, and when he came on stage, his face was gloomy, and it was obvious that he had no good intentions.
Taking advantage of the break, Hongying quickly took out Senior Brother Chen's information again and whispered it in Mu Fuyun's ear.
"He's in the late Jindan stage, and he's about to form a newborn baby. He's much more difficult to deal with than those guys just now! Usually - ah, like Senior Brother Cai, he's used to using annoying methods. Oh, and his sword -"
Hongying wanted to remind her of the last sentence, but was defeated by Chen Tian's impatient urging.
"What are you still standing there for? You don't have any excuses to refuse this time, right? Hurry up and get started!"
His sword was unsheathed, and he stood behind the red line, staring at Mu Fuyun with a pair of sinister eyes, forcing her to fight.
Mu Fuyun couldn't stop to listen to Hongying's words. He glanced at him coldly, took two steps forward, stood back at the red line, drew his sword and waited.
The instructor announced loudly and raised the drumstick, but Chen Tian did not forget to find an opportunity to encourage her.
"Don't beg for mercy for a moment!"
Mu Fuyun had a blank expression on his face, just like he did to Cai Haoshi, completely ignoring his provocation.
The drums sounded and the two of them jumped up from the stage at the same time.
Like Cai Haoshi, Chen Tian's sword was also pointed at her right collar.
Taoist robes are loose, which not only allows monks to move freely, but also emphasizes the spirit of Taoism. If they are cut by a sword, they will be naked and look miserable.
Mu Fuyun's eyebrows twitched, and he felt disdain for the methods used by the disciples of Taiqing Peak.
However, Chen Tian's realm was two levels higher than hers, and it was the first competition of the day, so his Qi Sea and Dantian were both full. Facing her, who had already lost 30% to 40% of her energy, he had a huge advantage.
In a flash, she turned her wrist and bent her waist to avoid the sword tip pointing towards her chest, while at the same time she extended the sword forward and slashed towards Chen Tian's legs.
Chen Tian sneered, jumped up, and somersaulted over Mu Fuyun. At the same time, the sword tip also changed direction, passing through Mu Fuyun's back and just scratching his waist.
The force of the sword tip was controlled very well, only cutting through the Taoist robe and inner clothes, but not hurting the skin.
Suddenly, the Taoist robe was turned open, and the inner garment was torn as well, revealing a piece of white skin around the waist.
