As a result, after five rounds of competition, while everyone else was still working hard, Tianning had already read several pages of the storybook.
Leng Hong, who was the first to finish his morning match, confidently left the field.
There's no way around it, being a sword cultivator means having such strong combat power; when it comes to 1v1 duels, I'm never slow!
Moreover, as the chief disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and a role model for his junior brothers and sisters, it was only natural for him to be the first to finish the competition!
Then... he saw that familiar figure in the rest area.
Leng Hong: "???"
Leng Hong's hard-won aloofness almost crumbled!
He even doubted that he was seeing things, and didn't doubt that he wasn't the first to finish the morning's competition!
But Tian Ning just sat there relaxed, his clothes showing no signs of a fight.
Even Leng Hong would inevitably encounter equally skilled disciples, and their battles would leave traces of their fights. But Tian Ning seemed to have never even participated.
"Junior Sister Tianning..."
Leng Hong stepped forward, deeply realizing the importance of caring for his junior sister: "Why aren't you at the competition yet?"
Tian Ning turned the page and said calmly, "It's over."
Leng Hong: "..."
Leng Hong gasped, "So fast?!"
Tianning was busy reading the storybook and was just getting to the exciting part when he casually waved his hand and said, "Senior Brother Leng, you're too slow."
Leng Hong: "..."
Zhou Han and Duanmu Qiao, who arrived shortly after, were baffled by Leng Hong's world-shattering appearance.
Duanmu Qiao: "What's wrong with you?"
Leng Hong said softly, "I'm too slow..."
The two: "?"
More people arrived gradually. There were only five matches in the morning, and the total number of matches was large, so there was a very small chance of running into familiar faces.
Surprisingly, Xu Jiaojiao came over to Duanmu Qiao complaining, "Waaah... Senior Brother! I actually lost to that blind guy from Guardian Sword Mountain!"
She never expected that a talisman cultivator who was surrounded by sword cultivators would be so powerful!
In her mind, a skilled talisman cultivator should join the Talisman Immortal Sect, a skilled sword cultivator should join the Myriad Swords Sect, and a skilled alchemy cultivator should join the Pill Cauldron Sect...
Each of the six schools had its own responsibilities, producing talents for different professions.
Sometimes, if they encounter other disciples with better talent who have joined the wrong sect, the elders will send them to a place that is more suitable for them.
But why did Jiang Xi stay at the Ten Thousand Swords Sect?
The person had such a low profile that Xu Jiaojiao never paid any attention to them.
But after today's battle, she clearly felt how strong her opponent was!
“Junior sister, you’ve been staying in the sect all this time and don’t know about the Six Sects Tournament held at the Myriad Swords Sect before,” Duanmu Qiao comforted her. “Back then, the Sword Protection Mountain wasn’t as useless as it is now… Jiang Xi was definitely one of the best in the talisman cultivation lineage, and even your senior brother… was defeated by him.”
Xu Jiaojiao's eyes widened!
Hearing Duanmu Qiao say that did comfort him. After all, even his senior brother couldn't beat him, so how could he possibly win?
She is quite self-aware.
only……
"Then why didn't he come to the Fuxian Sect?" Xu Jiaojiao asked. "Could it be that the sect leader of the Wanjian Sect is unwilling to release him?"
As a talisman cultivator, he could have better elders to teach him at the Talisman Immortal Sect. The sect's library also contained countless rare talisman books. He wouldn't have to suffer with those poor sword cultivators. He could go much further in the future...
“Junior Sister, not all talisman cultivators aspire to join the Talisman Immortal Sect,” Duanmu Qiao wiped away her tears and patiently explained, “Jiang Xi has great talent. As a talisman cultivator who grew up among sword cultivators, he is undoubtedly a genius among geniuses.”
"Moreover, his situation is special. He was brought back from the mortal realm by Immortal Venerable Jing Shu of Sword Protection Mountain. He has been given a special opportunity, so it is understandable that he is unwilling to leave Sword Protection Mountain."
