Zu An chuckled: "How come you're just like Prime Minister Cao, always making promises you can't keep? You said the same thing just now, have you forgotten already?"
"Who is Prime Minister Cao?" Yuan Wendong was taken aback at first, then realized what he meant. He didn't care who Prime Minister Cao was, he just went for it. "All you're good for is talking!"
He snorted coldly, not daring to be careless this time, and directly used his most prized sword technique to attack.
"Dragon Dance!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Wendong's body suddenly accelerated, rushing towards his opponent like a startled swan. Throughout the process, he did not move in a straight line, but kept changing his position, sometimes to the left and sometimes to the right, firstly to make his opponent unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, and secondly to block all his escape routes.
The sword in his hand left afterimages, as if it had transformed into a dragon, rushing fiercely towards Zu'an, as if it could tear him to shreds in an instant.
Chu Huanzhao nervously gripped her sister's hand tightly. Chu Chuyan didn't say anything, but she was on high alert, ready to step in and save him at any moment. However, she had just defeated Wu Di and was seriously injured, so she didn't know if she would make it in time.
Zuan also drew his longsword and displayed the only sword technique he knew: the Thirteen Forms of the Elementary Swordplay of Bright Moon Academy.
His opponent came with overwhelming force, so he naturally wouldn't confront them head-on. However, his opponent was wary of his agility, and this move, "Dragon Dance," was an area-of-effect attack. Dozens of dragon shadows formed from sword energy sealed off a space several feet in radius.
Zuan dodged most of the sword energy, but there were still a few he couldn't avoid. He channeled all his energy and clashed head-on with the sword in his opponent's hand.
With a sharp, grating sound of weapons clashing, Zu An staggered back several steps, feeling his internal energy churning and his hands aching terribly. He had almost lost his grip on the sword and it had flown out of his hand.
Zu An frowned inwardly. As expected, his cultivation level of the third rank was far inferior to that of the fifth rank.
At this moment, Yuan Wendong stood firmly in place, his body as immovable as a mountain. He felt reassured after the previous move, which was a straightforward head-on clash without any fancy moves. He thought to himself, "He's nothing special. I was almost scared by this guy before."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a flush on his face. This guy made me lose face so much, I'll make you regret ever being born.
Yuan Wendong's anger level increased by 768!
Zuan was speechless. This guy got angry whether he lost or won. How come he had such a temper, just like Qin Wanru?
At this moment, a series of relieved sounds rang out in the training ground:
"I knew it! How could he possibly defeat a fifth-rank young master like Yuan? This head-on confrontation can't be faked in the slightest."
"But I think my Zuan is pretty good too. Is he really the good-for-nothing you guys are talking about?"
"No matter how powerful he is, he's only at the third rank. How could he possibly be a match for Young Master Yuan?"
"Judging from his appearance, he must have been biding his time for more than ten years, enduring the criticism of others, just to make a name for himself today. If he had met someone else, he might have actually succeeded, but unfortunately he has met a fifth-rank opponent."
"He's so damn cunning. No wonder he was able to marry Miss Chu; he must have used a lot of scheming."
...
At this moment, there were quite a few people who shared the same thought. City Lord Xie Yi secretly glanced at Chu Zhongtian and thought to himself that this guy usually looked very upright, but he turned out to be a cunning old fox.
Sang Hong also took the opportunity to start lecturing his son: "See Qian'er? I told you this person was definitely not simple, he was hiding his true nature very well."
Sang Qian agreed verbally, but inwardly he grumbled, "Even if it's not simple, it's still just a third-rank."
The predictable battle on the stage held no interest for him; he preferred to admire his beautiful fiancée. He glanced at Zheng Dan, only to find her staring intently at Zu An on the stage, and his expression darkened.
At this moment, Zheng Dan was unaware that her fiancé was watching her. Gazing at the figure on the field, her beautiful eyes sparkled with admiration: "Wow, this guy is actually a third-grade cultivator. A man who can resist my temptation is indeed extraordinary. But why did he still bet on himself to lose? Does he also know that he will definitely lose today? Then what's the point of him doing all this?"
Everyone was pessimistic about Zuan, but Chu Huanzhao was beaming with joy: "Brother-in-law is amazing. He was able to fight Yuan head-on without being at a disadvantage."
Chu Chuyan, who was standing to the side, explained, "That's because Yuan Wendong was wary of his agility, so he used the 'Dragon Dance' attack, which is an area attack and the power is relatively dispersed, so he was able to barely withstand it."
Chu Huanzhao was taken aback: "So, my brother-in-law has absolutely no chance of winning?"
Chu Zhongtian sighed: "I originally thought he would have some amazing attack techniques, like movement skills, so there might still be a chance. But look at what he just used, it was just the most basic beginner sword technique of Mingyue Academy. Although this sword technique has been refined through countless trials, its advantages and disadvantages are equally obvious. It's fine for dealing with ordinary people, but it's really lacking when used for combat between cultivators."
"Ah~" Hearing even her father say this, Chu Huanzhao's heart immediately jumped.
Hong Xing, who had been listening intently, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had just seen the other party break Yuan Wendong's sword control technique with a strange weapon, and his heart had been in his throat. If this guy really won against Yuan Wendong, how would he face the Chu family?
Now even the head of the family thinks he can't win, that's good, that's good...
At this moment, Yuan Wendong on the arena had already launched another attack. He did not want to give his opponent any chance to breathe and wanted to completely crush him with his cultivation!
Zuan used the thirteen basic sword techniques, parrying and blocking with both sides. Although he looked a little disheveled, he was still able to hold on.
