Chapter 676 -100: Talking Crosstalk for a Lifetime?
Officially Trained Cultivators have their own concerns, and folk cultivators naturally have their own rules.
Rule number one: The strong rule. Many people seek deep exchanges, whether in cooperation or competition, and they must first challenge you to a fight.
In cooperation, one must gauge whether you have the capital to cooperate; in competition, one must verify whether you qualify to compete.
Thus, why is it said that the meek and kind can never become folk cultivators? This atmosphere where one must frequently resort to physical confrontation naturally filters out those without a tough enough temperament.
Yan Yu yawned, only to see that the two individuals onstage had already left. Ye Qianru returned to her sister’s side, while their opponent bowed to the person who had spoken earlier and silently left the arena.
The latter then stepped onto the field and introduced himself:
“Traveling Dragon Sword, Sun Zhihe!”
The second rule for folk cultivators: Make your name known.
There’s no other reason than to draw the attention of the nation earlier and receive the olive branch of recruitment.
It wasn’t like this a few months ago. Due to the ambiguous attitude above, everyone was like rats in a gutter, afraid to make themselves known. But now, with the cultivators’ competition about to be held, it’s like openly issuing a talent recruitment order, making everyone dream of feeding on the royal grain.
No matter how many powerful figures arise among folk cultivators, they all emerged by sheer luck from a vast population. 99.9999% of these people are destitute orphans who, of course, hope to be seen through by those above, to recognize their vulnerability and helplessness and to be rewarded with an opportunity to be taken care of.
Even more deeply, it’s conceivable that this “Traveling Dragon Sword” Sun Zhihe, who spoke insolently to Yan Yu, was intentionally displaying his heroic spirit.
Yan Yu received the Flying Sword from Old Eight, who handed it over with utmost respect. True Yuan flowed into it effortlessly, sensing the submissive nature of the Flying Sword completely unaltered.
It seems Old Eight, although under Sun Zhihe, probably didn’t plan to play any tricks in front of his idol.
But the grade of the Flying Sword was somewhat low. In Yan Yu’s view, it was like using mortal iron and refining it with the sword refining method once, not even comparable to the standard-issue Flying Swords of mortal warriors from his former life.
Seeing that Yan Yu had no intention of introducing himself, Sun Zhihe took a deep breath and shouted:
“Please advise!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he executed a Sword Technique, launching a ‘White Rainbow Across the Sky’!
As everyone knows, ‘White Rainbow Across the Sky’ consists of three Sword Techniques, but most people only use the straightforward version. Yan Yu, with his incisive perception, immediately noticed that although the Flying Sword shot straight out, its tail was exceptionally stable, clearly ready to change direction at the end of its course.
Such a basis to elicit deep skills in Sword Techniques for a mere folk cultivator!
Those Team Monks with poor swordsmanship, upon seeing this Sword Technique, really ought to smash their heads to death.
Yan Yu’s mind spun as he gently executed his Sword Technique.
Cang Song Ying Ke.
‘White Rainbow Across the Sky’ is a thrusting Sword Style, while ‘Cang Song Ying Ke’ is an Intercepting Sword Style; the former is offensive, the latter defensive. Normally, one would meet aggression with preparation, but Sun Zhihe suddenly recoiled instinctively, rolling to the ground in a donkey roll.
Because Yan Yu’s ‘Cang Song Ying Ke’ came too swiftly!
Intercepting Sword means to intercept wherever the sword is, but Yan Yu’s ‘Cang Song Ying Ke’ did not aim to intercept the sword but merely “brushed” past the Traveling Dragon Sword, then stabbing diagonally towards Sun Zhihe!
The initial “brush” had twisted the ‘White Rainbow Across the Sky’ off its path, making it impossible to change direction at the end; the subsequent thrust was even a deadly hit that, even if Sun Zhihe had halfway considered continuing the fight, would have immediately pierced his chest!
But it seemed this fellow was quite tough, and not lacking in combat experience, he didn’t think twice before abandoning his sword and rolling away, barely avoiding this life-threatening thrust. Then, stabilizing his form, he moved his Sword Technique again, and the Traveling Dragon Sword, switching from defense to offense, attacked Yan Yu once more.
Outflank Wei to save Zhao! Direct home switch!
Ye Jun, watching from the sidelines, was gripped with anxiety. She wasn’t worried about the outcome but saw that every move of this folk cultivator was a life-or-death struggle, which made her fear Yan Yu might carelessly wound himself.
Yan Yu, undeterred and even more unnerving to her, almost made her cry out in warning.
But the next second, she only saw the Traveling Dragon Sword aimed at Yan Yu suddenly drop, and Sun Zhihe, who was originally crouched executing the Sword Technique, rolled again, tumbling out of the arena.
Everyone: ???
Of course, no one had expected Brother Sun to win. The best outcome they could have imagined was to withstand three of Yan Yu’s swords and still suffer a commendable defeat, then for Divine General Dinghai to say, “Young man, your swordsmanship is quite sharp. We can’t let your skill be lost. I’ll write you a letter of recommendation,” and from then on, Sun Zhihe would ascend excellently like a crane, incidentally taking his brothers with him to greater heights…
But instead, you’re defeated and just rolling away—what’s going on?
Sun Zhihe rolled a few times before sprawling flat on the ground, shouting:
“Quick, quick, quick! I think I’ve broken a rib…”
“It’s not broken.” Yan Yu called out from a distance, smiling, “Just a bruise.”
Where would others believe that? They hurried over and pulled open Sun Zhihe’s clothing, only to see that indeed, the rib was not broken, just a coin-sized bruise prominently shown.
“Yan Yu is awesome!” Everyone else was in disbelief, only Old Eight had an I-knew-it-all-along expression and worshipfully exclaimed.
As Yan Yu walked off the field, Ye Jun immediately ran up to him, exclaiming in shock:
