In an instant, an invisible aura poured out like a tide, shocking not only the common people but even the patriarchs of the major families.
The entire square fell silent again.
What a powerful aura! Like a king reigning supreme, like an emperor touring the nine continents. Although Yue Fanchen was still standing on the competition stage, he felt as if he was towering over the heavens, looking down upon the countless people.
Although he hasn't made a move yet, no one would doubt that the Yue Fanchen in front of them is definitely several times stronger than the previous Longya.
No wonder he said that Mu Chengxuan was not qualified to be his opponent. He was by no means arrogant. Even if he was arrogant, he did have the capital to be arrogant.
Looking at Mu Hanyan, almost everyone was secretly worried.
Although Gong Hongru's previous words seemed to show his full confidence in Mu Hanyan, his performance in the previous assessment was too mediocre, even terrible. He did not show any signs of being a strong man at all. Can he really defeat Yue Fanchen?
"Mu Hanyan, be careful." Gong Hongru's voice rang out.
After hearing what Gong Hongru said, the hearts of the people around him sank again. Seeing that Yue Fanchen's true strength had not yet been fully revealed, even Gong Hongru began to worry.
Even Gong Hongru is like this, how can they have any confidence at all?
"Master, don't worry. I will try my best to hold back and not harm his life." Mu Hanyan nodded and said solemnly.
Everyone was stunned, looking at each other in confusion. Even at this point, Mu Hanyan was still able to crack a joke. Her heart must be incredibly strong.
"That's good. I was just afraid that you were too young and impulsive to restrain yourself. Although this man is arrogant, he is an envoy of Shangyue after all. It's okay to teach him a lesson, but it's not good to hurt his life." Gong Hongru nodded and said with relief.
Jaws dropped to the floor below the stage. Arrogant? Who, exactly, was being arrogant? Mu Hanyan's previous words had already sounded completely off-base to the others, and Gong Hongru's words were even more unexpected.
I thought he would scold Mu Hanyan, but I didn't expect that he actually agreed with her and looked very pleased.
Could it be that Mu Hanyan was really that strong? No one could figure it out.
However, they did not remain confused for too long, because in the next moment, a golden sword beam had already cut through the sky.
This sword was so majestic and powerful, so vast and magnificent. The golden sword light covered the sky, and the entire sky was dyed with a dazzling golden glow.
There is no biting cold, no cold murderous intent, and no violence and brutality, but it makes people involuntarily feel submissive.
"The Sword of the Saint, could it be the legendary Sword of the Saint!" someone in the crowd exclaimed.
There are thousands of sword paths, and every practitioner has his own path of cultivation. When the cultivation reaches a certain level, he may also have his own sword path, which may be righteous or evil, demonic or devilish.
However, this possibility is extremely vague. Even among the masters at the level of Sword Saint, very few have their own swordsmanship. It requires not only extremely high cultivation, but also extremely high talent and understanding.
Perhaps Yue Fanchen hadn't yet mastered his own swordsmanship, but the sage's spirit within this sword had already begun to take shape. Seeing that he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, yet he had already begun to comprehend his own swordsmanship, the people around him were astonished.
Below the stage, Mu Chengxuan's expression changed drastically, and the expressions of the Supreme Elder and the Third Elder also became extremely heavy.
It turned out that Yue Fanchen had actually begun to comprehend his own sword art!
When they heard Yue Fanchen say that Mu Chengxuan was not qualified to fight with him, not only Mu Chengxuan himself, but also the Supreme Elder and the Third Elder were full of anger. Later, when Mu Chengxuan was defeated by a sword, they were still a little indignant. Even though Longya was far stronger than Mu Chengxuan, and Yue Fanchen was far stronger than Mu Chengxuan, it could not be said that he was not qualified to fight with Yue Fanchen. This was clearly a humiliation to Mu Chengxuan.
But now they know that it is not a humiliation. If the two of them fight fairly, it might be a humiliation to Yue Fanchen.
Whether compared with Longya or Mu Chengxuan, they are in two completely different realms.
Being able to comprehend his own sword art means that Yue Fanchen is destined to become a master in the future. His achievements are simply incomparable to those of Mu Chengxuan or Longya.
If Mu Chengxuan could really fight with him - fight with Yue Fanchen, who is destined to become a master in the future, it would actually be an honor for him. It's just that Yue Fanchen did not give him this opportunity.
"Mu Hanyan, I want to see how you can hurt my life." Yue Fanchen's voice dragged everyone back to reality from shock.
The voice was still as cold and aloof as before, but now, no one thought it was arrogant. Rather than arrogance, it would be more appropriate to say that it was confident.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Mu Hanyan.
Yue Fanchen's strength and talent had already exceeded their imagination. Although Yue Fanchen's strength did not seem too high on the surface, being a sixth-level swordsman, not much stronger than Mu Chengxuan, Qi Tianyuan, Guan Shanhe and others, but with the swordsmanship comprehension of the Saint's Sword, his true combat power was simply unpredictable, and was not comparable to ordinary masters of the same level.
Mu Hanyan, who had performed mediocrely before, would probably find it difficult to connect with this sword.
Or maybe even she and Gong Hongru didn't expect that the other party would have such strength?
"You will know soon." Mu Hanyan's cold voice came. There was no surprise or panic on his face. He was still so calm and confident.
Subconsciously looking towards Gong Hongru, people realized that his expression was still so calm and composed, and there was even a hint of contempt in his eyes.
The golden sword light broke through the air, as if the entire sky was about to be broken open by this sword. The earth was shaking continuously, as if it was also surrendering to this sword.
Everyone clenched their fists and broke out in a cold sweat for Mu Hanyan.
Mu Hanyan's sword was finally slowly handed out.
It was so ordinary, so effortless and casual, as if it had been swung casually. This sword strike was exactly the same as the one Mu Hanyan had struck at the Trial Monument during the previous assessment.
Why was it the same sword strike again? Recalling the faint sword marks on the trial monument, barely discernible to the naked eye, everyone was bewildered.
However, Yue Fanchen's gaze suddenly froze, and the golden sword light also froze, as if it was grasped by an invisible giant hand out of thin air, unable to move at all.
"This...how is this possible!" Looking at this weird scene, not to mention ordinary people, even the instructors of Longyan College and even Long Congyuan were stunned.
