Mu Hanyan was also a little surprised. No wonder the people of Shangyue never took Anyun Kingdom seriously. In terms of overall strength, Shangyue was indeed much stronger than Anyun. At least, there were not so many masters among the new disciples of Longyan Academy.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Longyan Academy encourages its disciples to practice various strange arts in order to cultivate true strong people. If they specialize in kendo, the strength of Longyan Academy may not be weaker than Jianyin Academy.
Witnessing the strength of these individuals, the audience erupted in enthusiasm and cheered in unison. While Mu Hanyan and Yi Xingtian had impressed everyone in the previous three matches, one had triumphed through sheer force, the other through sheer dominance. They weren't exactly evenly matched, with dangerous situations lurking everywhere. They were somewhat disappointed, hoping this match would showcase a true battle of the strongest.
"Bang bang bang bang..." Before the shouting ended, a muffled sound came from the stage. Including the eighth-level swordsman, all five team members were knocked off the stage by Jing Jianjue and his teammates.
The shouts were still echoing in the air, but the audience opened their mouths and could not make any sound.
"How could it be so fast?" If the five people hadn't been still lying on the stage and unable to get up for a long time, they would almost suspect that there was something wrong with their eyes.
Everything happened so fast that they didn't even see how the two sides fought, let alone how one side was defeated and how they were knocked off the competition stage.
Mu Hanyan also took a breath of cold air. With her eyesight, she could see the whole process clearly.
"Fast!" If Mu Hanyan had to describe it, then there was only one word that could describe it, and that was fast.
Whether it was Jing Jianjue or the other four team members, their speed was so fast at the moment they started fighting that the five opponents didn't even have a chance to counter their moves and were directly knocked off the competition stage.
Mu Hanyan asked herself, even with the help of magic weapons, her speed could never be so fast.
Perhaps, only a Sword Saint could possess such speed, but it was obvious that Jing Jianjue and the others could never possess the strength of a Sword Saint, otherwise there would be no need for others to participate in any competition and they would just admit defeat.
But how could they have such speed?
Mu Hanyan had a hunch that as their speed increased exponentially, the power of their swords also increased a lot, but the magnitude was not as obvious as the speed.
What exactly caused them to improve so much?
Could it be a divine weapon? Mu Hanyan carefully felt it, but did not find any fluctuations that a divine weapon should have on them.
Or perhaps a pill? However, unlike Qi-boosting and Yuan-invigorating pills, any pill that could significantly boost strength in a short period of time inevitably had side effects, and could even cause significant damage to the body. Even for the sake of the upcoming competition, they shouldn't take such a pill. After all, even if the opponent's strength was beyond everyone's expectations, Jing Jianjue and the others still had the advantage overall, so there was no need to take such a risk.
It wasn't a divine weapon, nor was it an elixir. So what was going on? Even until the referee announced that Jing Jianjue's team had won, and today's competition was over, Mu Hanyan still couldn't figure it out.
"Next, please ask the four winning teams to come on stage to draw lots to determine the groups for tomorrow's competition." Mu Hanyan was about to leave the training ground when she heard the referee's subsequent words.
Mu Hanyan was slightly stunned, and then she understood that the following competitions were becoming more and more important. The purpose of drawing lots and grouping them in advance was to let them know themselves and their opponents, so that they could show their true strength in the following competitions.
However, in today's competition, her own strength has been almost exposed. Although the shape-shifting barrier and Cang Xuan Yunsha's absolute defense have not been used yet, I believe they cannot be hidden from the eyes and ears of those who are interested. However, she knows very little about the next possible opponents, especially the increased strength of Jing Jianjue and others. Mu Hanyan is puzzled.
"An Yun, Mu Hanyan, Hua Yue, Zirong, Jiang Yuzhe, and Tang Bufan from Longyan College versus Yi Xingtian, Shi Jian, Shi Yin, Zhan Li, and Meng Xun from Beiqi College." Seeing the result of the draw, Mu Hanyan shook her head.
If the next battle was against Yue Fanchen and the others, it would have been easier, but who knew they would run into Yi Xingtian and his team? Mu Hanyan still remembered the murderous sword strike against her.
It seems like my luck is really bad. In the first round, I met the strong men of Xiqin led by Lu Junran, and in the second round, I met Yi Xingtian. None of them are weak. Mu Hanyan is a little suspicious. Is there something fishy going on?
Knowing the next round's matchup, everyone looked at Mu Hanyan with sympathy. Although Mu Hanyan had successfully passed this round with her own strength, she might not be able to surpass Yi Xingtian in the next round. And those few who were holding her back would definitely not be of any help. If they lost, Mu Hanyan would have to fight five people alone. It would be a miracle if she could win.
Why is Mu Hanyan so unlucky? She encounters tough opponents in every round, and she doesn't have a single weakness. Could someone have done something to her? While they felt sympathy, they also looked at Wu Tianxiong with suspicion. However, despite their suspicions, no one dared to question them out loud.
No matter his status as King Side by Side or as the Dean of the Royal Sword Sound Academy, they cannot challenge him.
After leaving the martial arts arena, Mu Hanyan first accompanied Hua Yue and others back to the Princess's Mansion.
"Hanyan, why don't we give it our all tomorrow?" Seeing Mu Hanyan remained silent all the way, Hua Yue thought she was worried about the competition with Yi Xingtian's team tomorrow, and said in a deep voice.
Although they had absolute confidence in Mu Hanyan, they also had to admit that Yi Xingtian was strong, very strong. If they couldn't contain Shi Jian, Shi Yin, Zhan Li, and Meng Xun, Mu Hanyan would have no chance of winning.
Even though Shi Jian and the others acted like personal maids beside Yi Xingtian, Hua Yue and the others did not dare to underestimate their strength. Zhan Li and Meng Xun were not to be mentioned, but Shi Jian and Shi Yin's combined attack skills were said to be unparalleled in the world.
"Let's see how the situation develops." Mu Hanyan said after thinking for a while.
To be honest, her real concern was Jing Jianjue. Although Yi Xingtian was powerful, he could still be traced. With her Xingluo Bahuang Sword, he might not be able to withstand her sword's murderous intent. However, Jing Jianjue's sudden increase in strength left Mu Hanyan baffled.
Only by defeating all her opponents and winning the final can she get the Destiny Star Plate. Therefore, unless Yue Fanchen's team defeats Jing Jianjue and others, her final opponent will still be Jing Jianjue.
Judging from the strength of both sides, grandma was right. Yue Fanchen's team was definitely no match for Jing Jianjue and others.
The innate magical powers of Hua Yue and others are her last reliance. It would be best if she could hide them until the end, but if things are impossible, she can only take action in advance.
After having dinner with Hua Yue and others, Mu Hanyan went to the palace to accompany her grandmother.
