High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 101 - 100: One-Slash Asura, Xing Fang vs. You Ming
For a moment, the arena was deathly silent, followed by a collective gasp.
Hiss!
"Why do I feel like Cui Jian is acting with Su Mu, getting defeated by just one slash?"
"Now that you mention it, it does feel a bit like that, because last time You Ming fell in a similar fashion."
The crowd naturally understood that by this point, both were strong contenders for the second seat, which would grant the guidance of a Grandmaster. Who would give up such a rich reward to act?!
But what happened before their eyes was too astonishing, leaving many with such thoughts.
"Damn, is the Sword Momentum really this terrifying?"
"Of course, it’s terrifying. It’s the most crucial key to reaching the Grandmaster Realm!"
"Did you notice that today, no matter who faces Su Mu, it’s always one slash, he one-slash killed Lu Qing, and now he one-slash took down Cui Jian."
"Will the next one be..." the person hesitated, then silently looked towards Tantai Yan.
Instantly, everyone swallowed hard, all eyes turning to Tantai Yan.
They never expected Tantai Yan to meet her defeat, but after Su Mu’s strong one-slash defeat of Cui Jian, they finally realized such a possibility did exist.
"Forget about defeating Tantai Yan, just one-slash defeating Cui Jian makes me willing to call Su Mu the One-Slash Asura!" Someone said excitedly, expressing rather melodramatic words.
But the now deeply shocked crowd felt that the title of One-Slash Asura was incredibly fitting, no doubt about it!
You must know Su Mu’s opponent was Cui Jian, previously recognized as the strongest aside from Tantai Yan, a mountain pressing down on everyone’s hearts.
And today Su Mu performed a feat like splitting Mount Hua.
On the field, after Cui Jian admitted defeat, Su Mu immediately sheathed his saber, truthfully surprised to have defeated Cui Jian with one slash, but it’s for the best.
Using one less slash allows him to better conserve the Blade Qi stored within the Red Sun Saber.
The real battle is about to begin, he must conserve as much strength as possible.
Seeing Su Mu calm as he sheathed his saber and turned to leave, Cui Jian was greatly affected, filled with indescribable bitterness, feeling as if Su Mu had never regarded him at all.
Just swatted a fly away.
Instantly, Cui Jian’s Qi and Blood surged, frustrated to the point of wanting to spit blood.
...
"Could it be this guy’s Sword Momentum is about to reach Minor Success?" Xu Zhi said in shock, voicing his guess.
Shi Hao’s eyes glimmered, from this moment he finally regarded Su Mu as an existence on the same level of power as himself.
"I don’t know, but Su Mu’s Sword Momentum has advanced quickly, his mastery might already surpass mine. Such improvements in such a short time are truly astounding, how has he been cultivating?"
"He’s absolutely a genius in the Sword Dao!"
Shi Hao said firmly.
"Could it be this guy will take the first seat in the end?" At this moment, Xu Zhi began to waver.
Truth be told, Shi Hao was also wavering, this thought sprouted and couldn’t be stopped from growing robustly. For a moment, Shi Hao was very much looking forward to it.
Imagining a Power Talent defeating a Spiritual Talent was truly thrilling.
Huangfu Xue, knowing the inside story, remained silent, still confident in Tantai Yan, even though Su Mu had just defeated Cui Jian with one slash.
Tantai Yan was the monster who triggered the Martial Saint’s Will!
...
"Is this Su Mu’s true strength, brother, were we planning to steal Su Mu’s Points before?"
Ling Jun swallowed hard, speechless for the moment, suddenly feeling a chill on his back, realizing that he and his sister might have taken a stroll on the edge of death’s door, perhaps even placing half a foot in.
Upon hearing Ling Xiaoyu’s words, those around couldn’t help but be shocked, casting looks of admiration.
"Did you have the courage of a bear and leopard at heart, once thinking of stealing from the One-Slash Asura?"
"Strong, truly too strong, you’re stronger than Cui Jian and You Ming."
"Humph, I always said Su Mu is strong, and you guys didn’t believe me back then!" Ling Xiaoyu puffed out her chest proudly at this moment.
Now in the remaining ranked battle, seeing Cui Jian’s soul-crushed silhouette, everyone was immensely thankful, cold sweat breaking out, relieved it was Cui Jian, the unlucky one, who ran into Su Mu.
They also felt Su Mu’s one-slash carried a personal grudge to some extent, after all, Cui Jian used to consider Su Mu as just a sacrificial lamb.
Su Mu’s one-slash this time was obviously stronger than the one defeating Lu Qing.
"Good thing we never antagonized this Su Mu back then!" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
At that moment, many quietly felt grateful in their hearts.
Finally, Shi Hao, Xu Zhi, and Huangfu Xue, the chief examiners, regained their composure and immediately announced the second match.
"Second match: Gaoshan City Number 14 Zhou Min versus Qianhai City Number 6 Ming Jie."
A flash of Spiritual Light appeared in Ming Jie’s hand, revealing a dark red long staff, each end carved with ferocious tiger heads.
"Come on."
Ming Jie stood still, waiting for Zhou Min to attack. Zhou Min wielded a saber, knowing he couldn’t match Ming Jie’s strength, he said nothing more and opened with a forceful slash, swift and brutal.
At the slash, Ming Jie responded with a light exclamation, realizing his opponent’s strength wasn’t weak. He immediately spun his wrist, swirling a staff blossom and unleashing a Flood Dragon Emerging from the Sea strike.
The long staff met the saber blade.
With a blast, Zhou Min groaned, his wrist jolted at the base of the thumb, yet he refused to retreat a single step, knowing once the attack ceased he’d be closer to defeat, so he kept swinging his long saber, raining down an incessant storm-like assault.
