Tang Qiandao found it amusing to see Lin Caogen struggling to climb, but he suppressed his pride and arrogance.
He understood! This person must have something extraordinary to be chosen by Uncle Jian! Just that tenacity alone is admirable!
In the blink of an eye! Lin Caogen had already climbed to the top floor using both his hands and feet!
He scrambled and crawled to the dueling platform!
"Finally reached the top! The arena is only 10 meters high! Climbing it was so difficult! To wield the 3.3 million jin Dragon Sword, I'm afraid I'd need to reach the Immortal Emperor level! If I encounter an earth-attribute cultivator from the Five Sacred Mountains region and they cast a tenfold gravity field spell on me, I'll really have a hard time defending myself! I still need to intensify my training!"
Tang Qiandao said, "Brother! I admire you for climbing up here carrying such a heavy sword! The onlookers may not understand, but when you fell just now, I could tell that the sword on your back weighed over a million pounds! After all, I've practiced using hidden weapons for many years! My hearing is superhuman, I wouldn't be mistaken!"
Lin Caogen cupped his hands and laughed, "Brother Qiandao is indeed an expert! This sword on my back must weigh 3.3 million jin right now! You flatter me! I absolutely cannot use this sword in our duel! I'll put it aside for now!"
Tang Qiandao was shocked! 3.3 million jin! Even he could hardly lift it! Lin Caogen was able to carry this sword up to the stage and walk a hundred meters, which was enough to prove that his strength was no less than his own! If the martial arts competition was simply an arm wrestling match, then Lin Caogen would have already won!
Tang Qiandao grew serious! He had cultivated to the fifth level of the Immortal Emperor realm; he was no fool! Lin Caogen was now releasing his fighting spirit! That fighting spirit made Tang Qiandao's hair stand on end!
Most of the spectators around the arena were at the fifth-tier Immortal Spirit stage or the Immortal Emperor stage! These people had high cultivation levels and could naturally see through the clues! Lin Caogen was definitely not as simple as he appeared! The energy contained within him was enough to threaten every spectator present!
"This is going to be interesting! It's really hard to say who will win this battle!"
The one who spoke was the senior disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect!
This person's cultivation level is even higher than Liu Yingying's; he is currently at the half-step Grandmaster level! His name is Xiang Yu! Upon hearing Xiang Yu speak, everyone became solemn! After all, in the hearts of all the disciples, Senior Brother Xiang Yu is the authority, Xiang Yu is the truth!
Lin Caogen slowly untied the Dragon Sword from his back! He gently lifted the Dragon Sword and slowly placed it on the ground!
Just as the scabbard struck the ground!
A dragon's roar resounded! The dust on the entire dueling platform was shaken up a centimeter high!
"What a heavy sword! It must weigh at least a million catties!"
Xiang Yu couldn't help but exclaim in amazement!
A female disciple said, "Senior Brother Xiang! I heard that the sect leader is bringing these people from other regions into the Holy Ruins this time! What if they take up your spot?"
Xiang Yu said, "My master has already told me about this! He said that if this young friend Lin Caogen can successfully emerge from the Sacred Ruins this time, he will hire him as my swordsmanship teacher in the Spirit Sword Sect! He wants me to become Lin Caogen's disciple and have him teach me the essence of swordsmanship!"
Upon hearing this, the other disciples nearby were completely bewildered!
At this moment, a female disciple said, "Master, are you confused? That Lin Caogen, with only a 5-star Nascent Soul cultivation, is going to be Senior Brother Xiang's teacher? That's utterly absurd!"
Xiang Yu said in a deep voice, "Stop talking nonsense! There is no distinction between those who are accomplished and those who are not! Master has never made a mistake! Besides, it is not yet known whether that young friend Lin is willing to guide me! You must not be disrespectful to him in the future!"
Everyone was reprimanded by Xiang Yu! They were all completely confused and at a loss!
One disciple muttered under his breath, "These days! Are Nascent Soul cultivators all this powerful?!"
"Hey! Shut up! Look! The fight's about to start!"
Tang Qiandao pulled out a throwing knife on the dueling platform and said, "Brother! I'll use only ten percent of my strength first, afraid of hurting you! If you can catch this strike, I'll increase the force!"
After saying that, Tang Qiandao threw the flying knife! It struck Lin Caogen squarely in the chest and lungs!
Lin Caogen stood still! He immediately activated his Golden Bell Shield!
He can now project his immortal energy outwards! And his internal strength is profound!
A large golden bell, ten meters high and thirty centimeters thick, appeared around it, protecting it completely!
A crisp snap!
The two layers of golden bells were pierced by a flying knife!
The blue flying knife flashed with a cold light and stuck into the golden bell, unable to go any further!
Two bells rang out throughout the arena!
Guan Shi said, "This kid's internal energy is incredibly profound! Moreover, he can instantly condense such a large golden bell shield, and the speed at which his meridians transmit immortal energy is also very fast! This kid's future is limitless!"
Tang Qiandao laughed, "You're quite skilled! You actually managed to withstand my attack with only a Nascent Soul stage cultivation! Good! Here comes the second attack! I'll use thirty percent of my inner strength!"
All that could be heard was the sound of wind breaking!
Lin Caogen remained standing still!
A blue throwing knife instantly pierced through Lin Caogen's double-layered golden bell shield!
The throwing knife continued its trajectory, striking Lin Caogen squarely in the chest!
Just when everyone thought Lin Caogen was about to dodge, he suddenly clasped his hands together and caught the throwing knife with his bare palms!
Lin Caogen slid backward for a full fifty meters before finally coming to a stop!
Upon seeing this, the audience gasped in astonishment!
Tang Qiandao's hidden weapon was incredibly powerful! Unexpectedly, Lin Caogen caught it with his bare hands! Keep in mind that Tang Qiandao was using thirty percent of his strength at that moment!
A bead of cold sweat trickled down Lin Caogen's forehead! He had just used his bare hands to block Tang Qiandao's attack, employing all three elements of his power: essence, energy, and spirit! If he hadn't used a weapon, he feared he wouldn't have been able to withstand even half of Tang Qiandao's power!
Tang Qiandao nodded approvingly and said, "Brother! You are qualified to be my opponent! Show me your weapon! If you're unarmed, you can't beat me!"
