"Many people envy mysterious powers, and the host's strength is definitely above those people, so obtaining mysterious powers is more than enough!"
Xie Zhou wavered a little, but she had been constantly fighting to improve her strength for a long time, and she really wanted to relax for a while. But wouldn't it be better if the mysterious power could enhance her strength?
So you have to pick up your sword again. Your strength will be more likely to surpass others, and you will spend less time and effort when facing difficulties.
Just as she was hesitating, several elders took turns trying to dissuade Xie Zhou from participating in the Immortal Sword Tournament. They argued that it would not only enhance the reputation of their Sword Sect but also promote the spirit that the tournament had always upheld. However, these things held little appeal for Xie Zhou. What she truly desired was the so-called mysterious power that the elders had mentioned.
After a moment, Xie Zhou thought that he might as well go and participate in this Immortal Sword Tournament. It would be a way to find joy in hardship and also to see other people with superb sword skills.
However, upon seeing Xie Zhou's initially troubled expression, Senior Brother Luo Fentian immediately stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Elders, Junior Sister has worked hard these past few days. Why not let her rest a bit more and find the most suitable candidate from the Sword Sect to participate in this Immortal Sword Tournament? After all, Junior Sister has been in poor health since childhood. If she continues like this, she might not be able to handle it. How will she have the strength to compete against the other contestants in the Immortal Sword Tournament? Elders, please find someone else!"
The elder was also somewhat displeased after hearing Luo Fentian's words, and then retorted, "You are not her, how do you know what she is thinking? Disciple, don't cause trouble here. Xie Zhou will definitely be among the participants in this Immortal Sword Tournament. If she doesn't go, we will make her go even if we have to tie her up!"
Seeing that Senior Brother Luo seemed about to argue with the elders of the Sword Sect, Xie Zhou quickly stepped forward to explain, "Alright, I will attend the Immortal Sword Tournament this time. When does it start?"
Upon hearing Scorpio's words, the elders immediately smiled. One of the elders stepped forward and grabbed Xie Zhou's ropeway, speaking earnestly, "That's wonderful! You've agreed to this. That mysterious power has always been coveted by those people, but a victor hasn't been decided yet, so it's been stalled. I think Xie Zhou will definitely have a chance to get his hands on it this time. The Sword Sect's victory depends on you!"
"The opening ceremony of the Immortal Sword Tournament will be held tomorrow at Chenshi (7-9 AM). Once the draw begins, you will compete against those people, and only those who emerge victorious will have the chance to obtain the mysterious power."
...
After briefly explaining the precautions for this Immortal Sword Tournament, Xie Zhou returned to his bedroom early to rest for a while before heading out to participate in the tournament the next morning.
Time came quickly, and Xie Zhou, led by several elders, attended the conference.
"Clang! The Immortal Sword Tournament begins!"
The person in charge, shouting loudly on the stage, was also very enthusiastic, and the sound of gongs and drums was quite loud.
At the man's command, the Immortal Sword Tournament began. Soon after, many things resembling fireworks appeared around them. Someone used machinery to spray all the flower petals in the wooden barrels into the air. The colorful petals slowly fell, creating a beautiful scene.
Xie Zhou watched the petal slowly fall into his palm and instinctively reached out to catch it, afraid that it would fall to the ground and turn into mud.
"Crack..."
A sword flash shattered the ornate screen, and the real battle began.
One person dodged swiftly, avoiding many attacks, but he was like a white streak in the waves, dodging many attacks in no time. However, seeing that he hesitated to make a move, Xie Zhou suddenly found it interesting and realized that there was such a master.
The result was disappointing. The person was a disciple of the Shadowless Sect, the sect most skilled in concealment and hiding. Unfortunately, one's only skill is not enough; one must use an offensive method.
Before long, people came down from the stage in waves, and it was almost Xie Zhou's turn to go on stage.
She was also extremely excited. She went on stage, clasped her hands in a gesture of respect, and said, "Please enlighten me!"
Without saying a word, she drew her peerless sword. In an instant, she rushed in front of the man. The man who was dueling with Xie Zhou was incredibly unlucky. He couldn't even see Xie Zhou's attack and was knocked out of the arena by a single palm strike.
The man was momentarily confused, then felt a sharp pain in his chest. He clutched his chest, slowly got up from the ground, and looked at Xie Zhou, who had a slight smile on her lips. He was genuinely impressed by her strength.
Xie Zhou was certainly not an unreasonable person. He slowly stepped off the stage and reached out to help him up.
The smile on her face held no hint of disdain. The man smiled back and, with her help, stood up, saying, "You're amazing, young lady! I admire you!"
"You flatter me, you flatter me..."
"Hahaha……"
After the two parted ways amicably, Xie Zhou's strength was unstoppable. She quickly broke through all the barriers and fought her way to the last person, who was dressed entirely in black, even his lips were black.
"Would you like to have a match with me, young lady? The scorpion in my hand really likes you!"
Xie Zhou looked at him and thought he resembled a wizard, the kind who had tested countless poisons. He had a delicate appearance but a very rough voice. Xie Zhou got goosebumps listening to the man's strange tone.
After a brief introduction, the two began their competition.
Fearing she might encounter a formidable opponent, Xie Zhou immediately used her Life Sword Intent. The person suffered several setbacks. Just as Xie Zhou approached the person, the person secretly reached into her sleeve for a poisoned needle and prepared to inject it into her, intending to cheat using a secret technique.
Xie Zhou, with his sharp eyes, immediately noticed it; he hated this kind of thing more than anything in his life.
She launched a furious attack, nearly killing the man, who was begging for mercy with blood dripping from his mouth.
"Cough cough cough... Please let me go, please let me go..."
"You should know perfectly well what you've done!"
Xie Zhou withdrew his hand, put his hands on his hips and looked at the person squatting in front of him. The person's hair was already disheveled and he was curled up in a ball, as if he had been bullied by Xie Zhou.
The man's eyes darted around, a plan forming in his mind. He ran towards the back of the arena, because the arena for this Immortal Sword Tournament was located around the Changbai Mountains, where the Changbai bloodline was hidden.
While Xie Zhou was chasing that person, he unknowingly fell into the Changbai bloodline.
The elders' expressions changed upon seeing this, and they got up to go and check.
