Along the way, Mu Hanyan thought about Yi Xingtian's murderous sword, and then thought about Jing Jianjue's strange strength improvement, and felt the pressure doubled.
Even after entering the palace and staying with her grandmother, Mu Hanyan was still a little absent-minded.
"What? Are you worried about tomorrow's competition?" Grandma looked at Mu Hanyan with a smile.
"A little bit." Mu Hanyan said frankly.
"Everything depends on human efforts. There is nothing to worry about. Although Yi Xingtian is powerful, she is only an eighth-level swordsman. If you don't even have the confidence to defeat her, how can you become a truly strong man?" Lu Nianxin said seriously.
Mu Hanyan was shocked. Yes, although Yi Xingtian was strong, he was only an eighth-level swordsman after all. She was a descendant of the God's Guardian with a true awakened bloodline. She also had the memory inheritance of the Aolai beast and unparalleled sword skills such as Nine Heavens Starfall and Starfall in the Eight Wastelands. How could she lose confidence?
It seems that things have been going too smoothly for her these days, the opponents she met were too weak, and she lacked experience, so her strong spirit has been shaken and she is no longer as tough as before.
"Grandma, I understand. I will definitely defeat Yi Xingtian and will never let you down." Mu Hanyan raised her head and said firmly.
"Okay, okay, these are my descendants, Lu Nianxin, these are the children of the Yue family." Lu Nianxin said with relief.
"Grandma, what I'm really worried about is not Yi Xingtian, but Jing Jianjue." Mu Hanyan said frankly.
"You mean, their strength has suddenly increased." Lu Nianxin looked at Mu Hanyan with more relief. Confidence does not mean arrogance. The fact that Mu Hanyan could express her concerns so frankly is actually a manifestation of her confidence.
"Well, I have carefully observed Jing Jianjue and others. The improvement in their strength is definitely not due to magic weapons or elixirs. After thinking about it, I can't figure out what other methods can make their strength increase so drastically." Mu Hanyan nodded and said.
"Don't worry, no matter what method they use, there will always be loopholes. As long as we find their loopholes, it won't be too difficult to defeat them." Lu Nianxin said lightly.
Mu Hanyan certainly knew this, but just as she regarded the innate magical powers of Hua Yue and others as her trump cards and was unwilling to expose them easily, how could Jing Jianjue easily reveal his flaws? What her grandmother said was in vain.
However, Mu Hanyan never worries about things she can't figure out. In fact, her personality is similar to that of her grandmother, so she didn't argue with her. After chatting with her for a while, she went to bed early to recharge her energy for tomorrow's competition.
…
"I didn't expect that you brothers could be so powerful when you join forces. That Destiny Star Plate will surely belong to my Wu family. Jianjue, is there anything you want? As long as I can give it to you, I will never say no." In the Bingjian Palace, Wu Tianxiong was obviously in a good mood, and said to Jing Jianjue with a big laugh.
"Your Highness, please be polite. As a guest of the Wu family, this is my duty." Jing Jianjue said calmly, his expression as cold as ever.
"Jian Jue, there are no outsiders here, but you still refuse to call me dad?" Wu Tianxiong looked at Jing Jian Jue and said in a low and somewhat lonely voice.
Jing Jianjue remained silent. The rumors were true. Jing Jianjue was indeed Wu Tianxiong's illegitimate son.
"Jian Jue, I've let you down for all these years. Now your aunt is dead, and your elder brother has become a disabled person. Dad promises you that after this competition is over, I will let you return to your roots and bring your mother back home. When you achieve great things in the future, you will be the crown prince of a country, and your mother will be the mother of a country." Wu Tianxiong said excitedly.
"Dad." Jing Jianjue was slightly moved, with tears in his eyes. He had been waiting for these words for a long time.
Wu Tianxiong looked at Jing Jianjue's young face and was so excited that tears filled his eyes.
"Okay, you should go to rest early. Although your strength will be doubled when you join forces, you can't take Yue Fanchen lightly." After a while, Wu Tianxiong calmed down and patted Jing Jianjue on the shoulder and said.
"Please rest assured, father. Although Yue Fanchen is quite powerful, he won't have any chance if we brothers join forces." Jing Jianjue said confidently.
"I'm not worried about that, but I don't want your secret to be discovered too early. I have a hunch that although Yi Xingtian is powerful, your final opponent should still be Mu Hanyan. I sent people to check her background these days, only to find out that the little girl is cunning and proficient in all kinds of strange and unusual skills. If she discovers your secret early, it may not be so easy to defeat her then." Wu Tianxiong said cautiously.
"I understand. I will fight quickly and decisively tomorrow, just like today's battle. I will never let Mu Hanyan find any flaws." Jing Jianjue nodded and said confidently.
Unfortunately, he didn't know at that time that many things in the world were beyond his control.
…
In the early morning, the capital of Joetsu was shrouded in golden sunlight. As ten young swordsmen walked onto the competition stage, mocking shouts rang out again around the huge training ground.
The first competition today was between Jing Jianjue, Qin Ba, Liang Qian, Lu Zhenhuan and Pei Qiuyi from Shangyue Royal Sword Sound Academy and Yue Fanchen, Longya, Longdan, Longxin and Ning Yangshuo who were also from the Royal Sword Sound Academy.
There is no need to say much about the strength of Jing Jianjue and his companions. Yesterday, they defeated their opponents too quickly and too suddenly, and few people even saw clearly how they made their move.
Although Yue Fanchen and his companions performed mediocrely in yesterday's competition and there was nothing amazing about them, that was only because their opponents were too weak. In fact, both Yue Fanchen and Longya were recognized as the top masters of the younger generation in Shangyue Kingdom. Ning Yangshuo, who was born in the Imperial Guard, was not as famous as them, but as the descendant of a famous general, he had been tempered in the army since childhood and entered the Royal Sword Sound Academy after he became an adult at the age of sixteen. In terms of practical experience, he was even better than Yue Fanchen and his companions.
This is destined to be a fierce battle between two powerful opponents.
Mu Hanyan also looked at Yue Fanchen and the others, but she wasn't too excited. She knew that these people were very strong. If they relied solely on their own strength, they would definitely not be weaker than Jing Jianjue and the others. However, thinking of the strange strength increase of Jing Jianjue and the others, she knew that Yue Fanchen and the others would have little chance of winning.
"Start!" With the referee's order, Yue Fanchen and others drew their swords at the same time and attacked each other.
Yue Fanchen led the charge, his energy surging, his fighting spirit surging like a sharp spear. Dragon Gallbladder and Dragon Heart guarded his left and right, their broadswords half-raised, hidden, and their sturdy bodies forming two impenetrable shields. Meanwhile, Longya and Ning Yangshuo flanked on either side, their bodies brimming with murderous intent, like two fully drawn bows, ready to deliver a fatal blow.
