Eternal Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 277 - 268: Blademaster, Swordsman

"A minute? Defeat Tan Hua in just one minute?"

You must know, this time Tan Hua had made it to the 12th place on the Fledgling Dragon List, and after the baptism of the Dragon Pool, his strength had soared wildly, jumping straight to the Seven Meridians—he broke through from the Nine Meridians martial master, and now he was equivalent to a normal Eight Meridians Martial Sect.

To claim that he could be defeated within a minute, did they think he was made of paper?

He held immense respect for Yuan Tiangang, but that was because Yuan Tiangang was truly strong. However, when facing others, he was immensely proud, a typical arrogance of a youthful prodigy.

Tan Hua was so enraged that he laughed instead, shaking his fists, "I’d like to see how you’re going to defeat me within a minute."

"Simple!" The youth in purple clothes leapt up and launched a fierce attack on Tan Hua.

Tan Hua was naturally not afraid and engaged in a tit-for-tat battle with his opponent.

The two of them, one aiming to resolve the fight within a minute and the other obviously harboring strong resentment, instantly escalated the fight to an intense heat, both unleashing their ultimate moves in an incredibly fierce battle.

"They ended up in a draw?"

"No no no, Tan Hua is actually at a disadvantage!"

"How is that possible? Tan Hua is the 12th ranked expert on our Fledgling Dragon List."

"The opponents might just be among the top ten of the Fledgling Dragon List in Yue State."

"True, the martial arts level in Yue State is almost the same as ours in Cang State. How could a few people who just showed up suppress our genius from Cang State?"

The onlookers were all discussing fervently, shocked by the strength of the group from Yue State.

Bang!

The battle had barely gone on for half a minute when Tan Hua was kicked flying by the youth in purple clothes, smashing heavily into the distance. He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and his face instantly turned extremely pale.

"Young man, aren’t you being too ruthless?" An elder flew down to Tan Hua’s side and helped him up, continuously patting his back. One could see streams of Star Force materializing and entering Tan Hua’s body.

This elder was a deacon of the Haiyuan Sect, a Fifth-Tier War King. Seeing his disciple spitting blood from the beating, he naturally felt discomfort. He immediately glared at the youth in purple clothes, the terrifying pressure flowing, causing the young man’s forehead to immediately break out in cold sweat.

"Hahaha, a contest is inevitably rough. Why pick on a junior like this?" An elder from Yue State also spoke up, his aura immediately unfurling, as if a great demon god had descended, fearsome beyond measure.

"Hmm!" "Huh!" "Eh!"

The major figures all exclaimed in surprise and then looked at the elder with astonished eyes.

"Eighth-Tier War King!"

The elder from Yue State stood with his hands behind his back at the prow of the ship, "Fellows from Cang State, let the juniors sort out their own competition. The seniors should not intervene, shall we?"

This had escalated to a rivalry between the younger generations of the two states. Although Cang State had many experts who could ensure victory by swarming the opponent, would they really feel right to do so?

This wasn’t just about stirring up a war between two states.

"Have you all heard clearly? This is now a battle with Yue State’s younger generation. If you lose, it’s not only you who will be disgraced but the entire Cang State!" The major figures addressed the new entrants to the Fledgling Dragon List, totaling 108 people.

Such a contest naturally had no place for others to interfere.

In fact, even Tan Hua was defeated, and those below the top ten of the Fledgling Dragon List weren’t worth mentioning.

"Truly weak!" said the youth in purple clothes with contempt, then continued provocatively, "Any others? I’ve heard that Yuan Tiangang is the number one prodigy of Cang State, and I would really like to see for myself."

"Nonsense, you must be one of the top two in Yue State. What’s so strange about defeating our 12th rank from Cang State?" someone in the crowd shouted.

"Hahahaha, what a bunch of frogs in a well," the youth in purple clothes shook his head and said, "I’m only ranked 55th on Yue State’s Earth Tiger List, oh, and by the way, the Earth Tiger List follows the same rules as your Fledgling Dragon List, only including those under 25 years old."

What!

Just 55th? Their 55th can defeat our 12th, is the gap between the two states really that large?

Cang State has always been weak, not producing a War God for tens of thousands of years, but Yue State was not much stronger. The two states have always been in similar straits. Yet Yue State seems to have risen strongly, aiming to soar to the skies.

But if you’re going to rise, why tread on Cang State? If you’re so capable, go tread on the strongest Qin State.

This session, Cang State saw many prodigies emerge, Chu Hao, Barbaric Girl, and Zhu Wuji all reaching the top ten on their first attempt, with Chu Hao even taking first place. Moreover, this session had the most newcomers on the Fledgling Dragon List.

It was thought that Cang State was about to welcome a martial boom, finally rising. Yet, Yue State turned out to be even more formidable, with their 55th defeating their 12th.

Could it be that it wasn’t Cang State’s martial boom, but rather that the entire Sky Martial Star was entering a grand era?

Cang State had indeed produced many geniuses, but other states had even more and stronger ones!

"Yuan Tiangang, do you dare to fight?" A young man in purple robes challenged Yuan Tiangang, clearly because his reputation was well known, having occupied the position of Cang State’s top genius for three years, it was naturally assumed that he was still the leader of this edition of the Fledgling Dragon List.

Yuan Tiangang naturally would not explain that he had already been defeated by Chu Hao, and had willingly ceded the crown of the top genius, as he couldn’t afford to lose face. However, to confront a mere 55th ranked contestant from Yue State, he also felt that the victory would be dishonorable.

"Ma Yang, you have already had your moment in the limelight, let me handle the next battle," said another young man from Yue State, who stood up, carrying a long sword, his gaze sharp as if it could pierce through hearts.

"Hahaha, since you want to fight, I’ll let you have your way," the young man in purple robes agreed straightforwardly and stepped aside.

"I am Gao Feng, ranked 64th on the Earth Tiger List of Yue State," said the sword-carrying youth lightly, his tone courteous, but his inherent pride was far greater than Ma Yang’s.

Ranked 64th?

Chu Hao was taken aback, wondering why he felt that this Gao Feng was far stronger than Ma Yang? But he immediately realized, since after the Fledgling Dragon List was decided, everyone would enter the Dragon Pool for a baptism, and each person’s gains were different.

If this Gao Feng had a unique constitution, then the benefits he received would far surpass others, and after coming out of the "Dragon Pool," it was not surprising that he had surpassed Ma Yang.

As if to illustrate again, if there was another battle now, Fu Xue’s ranking would definitely jump a lot.

But not everyone had Chu Hao’s discernment, and many had already shown angry expressions, thinking what did this imply, that the later one comes out, the stronger they become, while it was the opposite for them.

How much disdain must they have for the people of Cang State?

Wu Shitong’s eyes shone with excitement, and he immediately leaped out, getting ahead of everyone else and landed in front of Gao Feng. Holding the handle of his blade, he said, "I am Wu Shitong, and I would like to ask Brother Gao for guidance."

Gao Feng’s gaze swept over Wu Shitong, and his eyes immediately shone, he said, "I didn’t expect to encounter a pure Blademaster here. Hahaha, however, your Cultivation is two Meridians weaker than mine. How about this, I will seal two Meridians of my power and fight you fairly."

He was of the Seven Meridians, while Wu Shitong was of the Five Meridians, indeed a substantial difference.

Hearing him say he was willing to seal two Meridians of Cultivation, many were utterly amazed—what immense confidence was this?

"Please!" Wu Shitong said solemnly.

Gao Feng then pointed at a few spots on his body, his aura immediately dropped, and his face turned slightly pale.

Anyone who had reached the level of a Seven Meridians Martial Sect could see clearly, he had truly sealed two Meridians of his Cultivation, dropping to the power of Five Meridians.

Wu Shitong slowly drew his blade, the "screeching" sound of metal friction was harsh, sounding almost like a Demonic Sound, making many want to cover their ears.

Clang, clang, clang, at that moment, Gao Feng’s long sword on his back began to vibrate on its own, the sound of the sword ringing clearly, immediately suppressing the Demonic Sound.

This was a battle between a dragon and a tiger.

Chu Hao thought to himself, if Gao Feng and Wu Shitong fought with him, he could suppress both of them with a single palm; unfortunately, the gap in strength was too vast, giving him an absolute crushing advantage.

But if he suppressed his strength to the level of these two, Chu Hao felt that even if he could defeat them, it would come at a considerable cost.

Both of them had an understanding of Sword Dao and Blade Dao that surpassed their realms; in a battle of the same realm, neither could be underestimated.

Clang, clang.

With two clear sounds, Wu Shitong and Gao Feng simultaneously drew their sword and blade and then charged at each other.

The Blade Qi was like a tiger, the Sword Qi like a dragon, instantly intertwining together, with terrifying momentum.

"This this this, is this really the combat power a Five Meridians can possess?" someone immediately exclaimed.

Both of their combat powers were too strong, far surpassing ordinary Five Meridians Martial Sects, each sword and blade seeming to possess their own life, deriving endless variations.

Many VIPs had already shown signs of cherishing talent; during the previous dispute over the Fledgling Dragon List, though Wu Shitong had also shown some brilliance, it was not as terrifying as now. It seems that his Cultivation had not only improved during the baptism in Dragon Pool, but his understanding of the Blade Dao had also made great progress.

This young man might become a Blade King or even a Blade Emperor in the future!

Misjudgement, misjudgement, thankfully someone from Yue State stirred things up, allowing this gem to show its brilliant brilliance.

Gao Feng was certainly a fine piece of material, but since he was from Yue State, what did his talent have to do with Cang State?

These important figures were eager, they were here partly to wait for their juniors to come out, and also to recruit people like Chu Hao and Wu Shitong who had emerged from the Middle Nine Counties.

As the saying goes, people strive for higher places; when First Rank or Second Rank Sects offered an olive branch, wouldn’t the disciples of Sects, at most Fourth Grade, gladly accept it?

Wu Shitong and Gao Feng, however, forgot everything, both reaching their zenith, emanating brilliant light.

Half an hour, one hour, two hours, time flew quickly, but not a single spectator showed any signs of impatience; their battle was too spectacular, especially for those who wielded swords or blades themselves, gaining great insights and enhancing their own strength.
