When the mysterious swordsman asked this question, the three disciples looked at each other in silence, and no one dared to be the first to touch the sharp edge.
Although this person's outfit doesn't seem to be very impressive.
In the end, it was Li Yue who stepped forward first, and said with a wry smile as if a sheep was caught in a tiger's mouth: "According to the rules, we will challenge the seniors starting from the third place in the order of the previous competition, so I will go first."
He took a step forward as he spoke, and the mysterious swordsman glanced at Li Yue, without any change in expression, and simply nodded and said, "Then do it."
He turned and walked to the open space in front: "Come here, don't damage my house and the clothes hanging on the wall."
Li Yue had already calmed down and prepared to attack. When he heard the mysterious swordsman speak, he quickly gathered his spiritual power, ran to the open space, nodded dully and said, "Oh, senior, do you think this place is okay?"
The mysterious swordsman nodded, and then raised the hatchet again: "Come on."
At the moment he said this, the sword light turned into lightning, and the sound of breaking wind suddenly rang out like thunder in broad daylight. Before everyone present could come to their senses, Li Yue had already groaned and retreated quickly, and the sword in his hand flew out.
Hua Shi widened his eyes and wanted to go forward to help Li Yue who had fallen to the ground, but was stopped by Yu Xing.
Li Yue is still in the challenge. If Hua Shi goes over now, he will disrupt their fight, so he naturally cannot go forward rashly.
But Hua Shi couldn't bear to see Li Yue like this.
At this moment, the mysterious swordsman who had just swung his sword was already walking towards Li Yue again. He frowned and said, "Too weak. The Xuanqing Continent is really getting weaker with each generation. This year's opponent is too weak."
He glanced at Hua Shi and the other man who were hesitant to speak, and then said to Li Yue: "Get ready, for the second knife, if you feel you can't take it, you can do it in advance..."
"I give up!"
A hoarse and choking voice was heard instantly, stopping the mysterious swordsman from speaking.
Everyone immediately looked at Li Yue, and then saw Li Yue slowly getting up from the ground, holding his chest that had just been hit by the mysterious swordsman, and coughing with a bitter smile: "If I admit defeat, does that mean I don't have to be beaten?"
Hua Shi: “…”
Even though he was a timid person, he was shocked by Li Yue's decisiveness at this moment. He was able to bend and stretch to save his life without hesitation. Even Hua Shi felt inferior to him.
After Li Yue said this, the mysterious swordsman did not embarrass him anymore and quickly let him get up and leave.
Li Yue sat down nearby to rest, and Yu Xing took the initiative to replace Li Yue and continue to challenge the mysterious swordsman.
Yu Xing is worthy of being the only famous young disciple of this generation. When he fought with the mysterious swordsman, he was able to take most of the man's moves.
Seeing that the battle was getting heated, the two had no intention of deciding the winner for the time being. Hua Shi came to sit beside Li Yue and whispered, "Are you giving up so soon?"
Li Yue looked badly injured and was still coughing. "I won't give up, okay? I'm just lucky that there's no expert in our group, so I was able to get to the island. If I don't surrender, I'll be beaten to death."
Hua Shi: “…”
He couldn't help but pat the man on the shoulder: "My name is Hua Shi."
Li Yue was stunned for a moment, wanting to say that he knew his name, but after hesitating, he still said, "My name is Li Yue."
"Yeah." Hua Shi said with a smile, "I think we have a lot in common."
Li Yue: “Ah?”
Hua Shi did not explain further. He watched the battle between Yu Xing and the mysterious swordsman and was unconsciously immersed in it. He exclaimed to the system in his heart: "That swordsman is so powerful. It is really not easy for Yu Xing to hold out for so long under his hands."
Unfortunately, he said this at the wrong time. The moment he finished speaking, the sword in Yuxing's hand was picked up by the swordsman and flew straight towards Hua Shi. Hua Shi quickly dodged and saw that a big hole had been poked in the wall behind him. Yuxing's ice man was inserted on it, and was trembling slightly at this time.
Hua Shi and Li Yue were both startled. They looked at each other with a little fear and then looked towards the field again.
Yu Xing's right hand trembled slightly, as if she was still injured. She raised her hand to cover her shoulder, lowered her head and sighed, then said: "I lost."
The mysterious swordsman said calmly: "Eighty-three moves, you are already very good, are you Ji Yan's disciple?"
Yu Xing had already turned around and walked out of the training ground, but when he heard this he turned back and asked in surprise: "Senior, do you know my master?"
The mysterious swordsman raised his eyebrows slightly: "He actually accepts disciples?"
From his tone, it was clear that he was very familiar with Ji Yan. However, Yu Xing wanted to ask more questions about his master, but the mysterious swordsman had already turned his head to look at Hua Shi, with no intention of continuing.
Yu Xing had no choice but to turn around and go to Li Yue to rest. When passing by Hua Shi, he gently cheered him on.
Hua Shi now has no idea of winning. When he came here, he was full of confidence and worried that he was too strong and the person who defeated the mysterious swordsman was as if he was another person and had nothing to do with him. Now he just hopes that he can hold out a little longer under the opponent's hands.
Fang Wei reminded Hua Shi at the right time: "I asked Xuan Shuzhi before I left."
Hua Shi was stunned: "Master?"
Fang Wei continued, "Xuan Shuzhi and Yi Zhan both said that they were no match for this mysterious swordsman."
Hua Shi: “…”
Only then did he realize how naive he had been not long ago. The system had long known the gap between him and the other party, but did not say anything to stop his wild thoughts. He must have been very ridiculous at that time.
Hua Shi blushed, which was rare for him: "I will never be arrogant again."
He experienced such ups and downs within a few days. From discovering his extraordinary strength that he could defeat all the young disciples not long ago, to now realizing that he still has a long way to go in the door of cultivation. In fact, it is very rare for Hua Shi to adjust himself in such a short time. In fact, Fang Wei thinks Hua Shi's performance is already very good. He thought it would take a lot of time for Hua Shi to receive enough lessons before he can completely adjust.
"Just deal with it calmly, you're already doing fine." Fang Wei comforted.
Hua Shi hummed softly, and at this moment he was truly relaxed. He stared at the mysterious swordsman standing in front of him, and could not help but say, "But speaking of it, this swordsman's swordsmanship is really reckless. He should be the most ferocious and heroic-looking senior I have ever seen. He is completely different from my master and Senior Jiang, who are both delicate and tender."
Fang Wei: “…”
Hua Shi said: "System, why are you silent?"
Fang Wei really didn't know where to start at this moment. If Xuan Shuzhi knew that Hua Shi described them as delicate and tender, she didn't know how they would feel.
If Bai Heng knew that Hua Shi rated her as the most heroic man, I wonder how she would react.
And if Hua Shi knew that this mysterious swordsman was actually a woman, I wonder if he would be frightened.
Bai Heng had no idea that Hua Shi was communicating with someone in his mind. She was holding up the hatchet and ready to attack. She saw Hua Shi standing there for a long time without making any sound or movement. She didn't know what he was thinking, so she waited for a long time and finally took the initiative to ask, "Are you ready?"
Hua Shi collected his thoughts and quickly responded, "I'm ready." He put on a serious look, nodded to Bai Heng and said, "Senior, please teach me."
Bai Heng didn't say much, and drew his sword mercilessly, just like when he fought with Li Yue and Yu Xing just now.
The sword startled the wind and thunder. Hua Shi had seen this swordsman fighting with two people before. When he was watching, he had already felt the man's sword energy was extremely domineering. But when he really faced this sword energy, he realized that this alone was not enough to describe the unparalleled power of this sword energy.
Hua Shi did not dare to hide his weakness. He drew out the Lingsha Sword, and the sword tip met the blade. Feeling the blade force coming from the point where the two weapons met, Hua Shi did not dare to be arrogant. He quickly used the force to dissipate the force and turned around to retreat.
Although this move was not very graceful and beautiful, it was the best way to catch the knife among the challengers who tried the knife today.
Bai Heng first said approvingly, "Good swordsmanship", and then he saw clearly the sword held in Hua Shi's hand during the movement.
Her eyes darkened slightly: "Spiritual Sand Sword?"
Upon seeing this, Hua Shi immediately asked, "Do you know this sword? Do you know the owner of this sword?"
Hua Shi always reacts quickly when it comes to anything related to Liu Qishuang.
Bai Heng stared at Hua Shi thoughtfully: "Who are you to Liu Qishuang? How come you have his sword? No, isn't Liu Qishuang dead?"
When Hua Shi heard the first two questions, her eyes were full of energy, but when she heard the last question, her eyes dimmed. Since she asked this question, it meant that she didn't know much. At least she probably didn't know the relationship between Liu Qishuang and the ancient clan ruins in Frost Forest Valley.
However, facing the swordsman's gaze, he still responded: "Junior Hua Shi, a disciple of Xuanling Pavilion, my master sent this letter to me."
Bai Heng's expression softened when he heard the familiar name, and his performance was much better than Yu Xing's when he faced Ji Yan's disciple just now. There must be another reason.
She nodded, relieved her expression and said, "The disciple taught by Xuan Shuzhi is indeed quite capable."
Hua Shi blinked and suddenly fell silent again.
To outsiders, he seemed to be in a daze, but in fact, he had already been communicating with the system in his mind: "System, why do I feel this conversation is so familiar?"
Fang Wei: “…”
Hua Shi continued, "Have the seniors I met before all asked about the Spiritual Sand Sword? Do they all know each other?"
Fang Wei: “Maybe…”
Before Fang Wei could respond, Hua Shi had already come to a conclusion: "So this swordsman senior is indeed the one I want to capture next, right?!"
Although Fang Wei does not agree with this statement, from a certain perspective, it is true.
After coming to this conclusion, Hua Shi felt a lot more relaxed. He even felt a sense of familiarity when looking at the large hatchet in the swordsman's hand: "Since he is my target, he shouldn't make things difficult for me, right?" After all, every senior he met before, except for the crazy ones, was very caring towards him.
But what happened next immediately made Hua Shi reflect on his own naivety. This senior swordsman not only had fierce sword skills, but also had an extremely fierce personality. He was reckless in the fight and did not go easy on Hua Shi at all. At first, Hua Shi still had time to talk to the system, but later, the opponent's moves became faster and faster, and it became more and more difficult for Hua Shi to respond. He gradually forgot to speak and began to concentrate on fighting the swordsman.
This kind of fighting rhythm is actually very familiar to Hua Shi, because he used to be beaten in front of Xuan Shuzhi every day. Even later, after Poxuezhaizhu came to Xuanling Pavilion, Hua Shi had to face the combined doubles of these two people. If it comes to defeating the opponent, Hua Shi may not dare to imagine it, but when it comes to being beaten, Hua Shi feels that he is very good at it.
After such a fight, Hua Shi actually gradually became more confident.
On the other hand, Bai Heng had been testing Hua Shi's strength from the beginning. The longer she tested him, the more solemn her expression became. Finally, she forced Hua Shi back into a dead end, with the blade touching Hua Shi's chest. Bai Heng finally stopped and said in a low voice, "One hundred and twelfth move."
He actually lasted a few more moves than the person who set the highest record in previous years' sword tests.
Hua Shi was confused. He was concentrating on receiving the opponent's moves and didn't notice that so much time had passed. It was only when he heard the swordsman say this that he finally murmured, "Is it over?"
Bai Heng stared at Hua Shi, then looked at Li Yue and Yu Xing who were standing there in a daze, and suddenly said, "You stay."
Hua Shi: “Ah?”
Bai Heng ignored the three people standing in a daze at the door, and went in, carrying out a few dried fishes. Then he said, "Eat something with me and talk for a few minutes."
Hua Shi was still confused, but he always felt that... the other party seemed to want to find out something from him?
