The Birth of Sword God-Chapter 143 - 133: Chu Huaixu Is a Sword Cultivator?
Ding Bolin was a graceful and handsome young man.
He was somewhat puzzled, how could this Junior Brother Chu, who even surpassed him in appearance, seem so hostile towards him?
What surprised him even more was that when they were registering, a few very special spectators appeared in the audience.
Geng Tianhe, Kuimu Quan, Zhao Xinghan, all three were there!
These three were the top geniuses from the other three major sects, all aiming for the top spot.
Simply put, if the Daoist Sect wanted to clinch the East Continent’s top spot this time, these three were the biggest rivals!
Their simultaneous presence here surely stirred a small commotion, making everyone around turn their heads and start various discussions.
Upon realizing this, Ding Bolin felt both honored and pressured!
"They regard me so highly, all coming to watch my competition."
"Are they looking to know their enemies as well as themselves?"
"So, it’s not just me who sees them as the final opponents, they see me the same way!"
Ding Bolin stood gracefully on the stage, trying his best to look dignified and elegant, while a sense of mutual admiration grew in his heart.
At this moment, he was somewhat troubled as well.
Because he was already thinking about how he should win.
"First of all, I must win beautifully, I can’t lose face in front of those three!"
"Secondly, while winning beautifully, I must also hold back, I can’t reveal too many cards."
"Their eye power is far superior to ordinary people, seeing the subtle details from minor cues!"
"They’ve come specifically for me, wanting to understand me, making it difficult for me to hide too well in actual combat."
This brought some burden and pressure to Ding Bolin.
But when he glanced at Chu Huaixu standing opposite, he secretly felt lucky.
"Fortunately, Junior Brother Chu opposite is a Body Cultivator."
"And his cultivation is only First Realm Fourth Heaven."
"So it’s manageable."
He had also heard of the fame the other party had gained in recent days, but took it only as a topic of casual conversation.
Just a Body Cultivator who hasn’t even reached First Realm Great Perfection.
The outstanding performance was because his opponent... wasn’t me!
Lang Yue, Shen Miaoyun... never heard of them.
He hadn’t even heard of Luoxia Sect or Illusion Spirit Sect.
After both had finished registering their information, Chu Huaixu and Ding Bolin cupped their hands in salute towards each other.
Ding Bolin also sneakily glanced at Geng Tianhe and the others in the audience.
Unbeknownst to him, they were also secretly observing, though their object of observation was that young man in a black robe.
Geng Tianhe was bewildered upon seeing Kuimu Quan and Zhao Xinghan.
"Why did they come too?"
But on second thought, perhaps they received instructions from their sect’s elders?
This made him feel even more that this Sword Cultivator named Chu Huaixu must be extraordinary!
But there was a problem!
All three of them had emerged with the same question in their minds: "Where’s his sword?"
"Where’s Chu Huaixu’s sword?"
Both on stage had already cupped their hands in salute, and under the host of two Inner Sect Disciples, were making the final preparations.
Yet he still hadn’t taken out his Spirit Sword?
"Could he really be so arrogant?"
"Or is he truly so confident?" The three were puzzled.
The issue was that for the vast majority of Sword Cultivators, their whole life was passionately devoted to the sword.
How does a Sword Cultivator fight without a sword?
The answer was quickly given on stage.
After being humiliated at the gambling house, all Chu Huaixu wanted was to remove Ding Bolin from the Assassination List.
Therefore, he was now very focused, caring nothing about everything below the stage.
Of course, he knew Ding Bolin was no obscure person.
An outstanding genius who could be ranked in the Daoist Sect, his strength was not to be underestimated.
Therefore...
"Wasn’t everyone curious when I would use Technique?" Chu Huaixu wondered.
"Then, let it be as you wish!"
Body Cultivator complete form, activate!
He still did not utilize the spiritual power within his Spiritual Embryo Secret Collection, continuing to present himself as a Body Refining Cultivator.
However, at this moment, his speed was incredibly astounding.
Profound Level Technique——[Feixuan]!
The astonishing explosive power of Chu Huaixu’s body was perfectly displayed at this moment.
Low Tier Cultivators possess limited spiritual power inside.
Relying on spiritual power to speed up oneself might not be as fast as his pure physical body running...
No way, neither Chu Huaixu nor Xu Ziqing can be judged by ordinary Body Cultivator standards.
Ding Bolin’s Lifebound Object was a black long spear, surprisingly, he was a Spear Cultivator.
At this moment, he was directly shocked by the speed of this Junior Brother Chu.
In his eyes, this person seemed to suddenly disappear!
"Bang——!" It was still that familiar Martial World Palm Technique.
Ding Bolin blocked with the spear shaft, almost failing to block!
Due to the haste, the terrifying force couldn’t be entirely absorbed, forcing him to retreat two steps.
Below the stage, Geng Tianhe and the others exchanged glances, their hearts shaken.
With their eye power, they could naturally discern some things.
"This Body Technique... should be of a Profound Level standard?"
"Furthermore, it seems to have been mastered, incredibly proficient!"
For an ordinary First Realm, Profound Level Technique was too difficult, being able to even get started was already good.
They knew very well that just this Profound Level Body Technique was enough for Chu Huaixu to make his way through.
But what surprised Geng Tianhe and the others even more was: "Wasn’t he said to be a Sword Cultivator?"
How the hell is he a Body Cultivator!
Oops, the information was wrong!
...
...
On the stage, the spear-wielding Ding Bolin looked extremely discomfited.
After all, he was still a young man and cared about his reputation.
With the strongest geniuses from the other three major sects watching his match, yet he was pushed back two steps from the start?
Ding Bolin even mocked himself: "I truly deserve to die, I’ve practically disgraced the Daoist Sect!"
Of course, he wasn’t foolish. He could see that Chu Huaixu’s body technique was quite formidable.
"Profound Level?" he thought to himself.
"Is this the trump card Junior Brother Chu has been hiding all this time?" Ding Bolin also grew more cautious in his heart.
It was very clear that his opponent was far stronger than he had anticipated, and he immediately dispelled any sense of underestimation.
Should he be embarrassed by the opponent again, he’d wish for the ground to swallow him up.
The thoughts of many young people are very peculiar indeed.
He now felt as if he was fighting for the likes of Geng Tianhe and the others!
And his opponent, instead, was a fellow Daoist Junior Brother.
Ding Bolin held his spear and watched the shadows flickering before him, his eyes constantly following them.
"Junior Brother Chu, I was careless just now!" he shouted loudly.
Though it seemed like these words were directed at Chu Huaixu, they were actually an explanation to Geng Tianhe and the others.
"But now, trying to approach me will be difficult."
Flames started to burn on the spear, and they were blue flames at that.
"Junior Brother Chu, you’ll need to be careful from now on!"
At Ding Bolin’s feet, blue flames also began to form, merging into a circle that surrounded him.
"With the blue flames here, even if his body technique is faster, breaking through this defense will cause him pain!"
"Even if he’s a Body Cultivator, even if his Lifebound Spiritual Artifact is this defensive robe, he can’t be completely unaffected!"
"As long as he feels pain, there will be a flaw!"
Chu Huaixu looked at Ding Bolin, directly ignoring the circle of flames on the ground.
With his warm-up over, he was ready to erase this name from the Assassination List.
"Because your name, from now on, will not appear on the Outer Sect casinos’ lists anymore!"
Suddenly, his speed increased.
Not just Ding Bolin, but even Geng Tianhe and the others beneath the stage were shocked.
"No, this speed isn’t right! This isn’t just entry level; he at least has Minor Success in Profound Level Body Technique!"
In the First Realm, he managed to train a Profound Level Technique to the Minor Success Realm?
Just this alone could earn him a notable ranking in the Daoist Sect!
Yet someone like Lang Yue from the Luoxia Sect couldn’t even track Chu Huaixu’s location.
He understood clearly, he wasn’t worthy of making the opponent use such a level of body technique!
Lang Yue’s state of mind had completely calmed down.
"Who can say I lost shamefully, or disgracefully?"
"If you have the skill, go up and fight him yourself!"
On the ring, Chu Huaixu had already charged into the circle of fire.
He didn’t know what exactly this blue flame was.
"There’s indeed something to it, huh?"
His physique had amazing defenses, and coupled with wearing a Black Gold Robe, even with both fully utilized, he wasn’t entirely unaffected.
—Well, it’s quite warm! 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Ding Bolin’s eyes widened, unable to believe the opponent charged in unharmed.
Chu Huaixu paused briefly, then turned into a shadow again.
This feeling was as if...he feigned a move?
He began looking around, continually swinging his long spear, uncertain from which direction the opponent would attack.
The flames beneath started spreading toward the circle’s center.
Ding Bolin planned to set the entire area ablaze!
Too bad that someone was faster than the flames.
"Boom—!" His back was suddenly hit by a palm.
Then his left shoulder.
Next, his right arm.
Chu Huaixu sought out every flaw.
"I don’t know why, but I always feel he shouldn’t just be like this, he seems... emotionally chaotic?" Dead Fox was also surprised in his heart.
In just a few breaths, he struck three palms.
The sound of bones cracking began to emerge.
Amidst Ding Bolin’s gradually contorted expression, he was hit by another palm that sent him flying.
The outcome of the match was decided.
Exclamations erupted from the crowd below.
The well-regarded Ding Bolin lost like this?
He lost decisively and ingloriously.
Geng Tianhe and the others exchanged glances and found that their expressions were quite similar, all slightly frowning.
Their figures gradually disappeared into the crowd and headed outside.
Soon, the three who had finished the day’s matches each went to the elegant courtyards where their sect elders lived.
At this moment, Situ Cheng was drinking from a wine gourd again.
The Daoist Junior Martial Uncle Jiang Zhi glanced down on him, unwilling to engage in Sword Enlightenment with him, making him feel very bored.
"It’s truly tedious," Situ Cheng thought to himself.
When Geng Tianhe returned, he put down the Jade Gourd and asked, "Won?"
"Yes." Geng Tianhe nodded and then stepped forward to salute, "Elder Situ, it seems we have incorrect information."
"Hmm? What information?" Situ Cheng was momentarily surprised.
"Disciple went today to watch Chu Huaixu’s match,"
"Oh? Tell me about it." Situ Cheng was also quite curious about what kind of Sword Intent this young man had comprehended.
There are many types of Sword Intent in the world, and the rank of each can vary, with some being strong and others slightly inferior.
The Great River Sword Intent, for example, is quite commendable.
But regardless, comprehending Sword Intent is certainly stronger than the so-called Half-Step Sword Intent.
"Looking at this lad’s frantic appearance, he probably feels pressured too?"
"He’s truly too arrogant,"
He felt his purpose had been achieved; this was exactly the effect he wanted.
"See, rushing again!" Situ Cheng assumed an all-knowing look.
"Speak slowly, no need to be so alarmed." He was also afraid this lad would disrupt his Dao Heart from excessive panic, thus urging him to stay calm.
Geng Tianhe looked at the smiling Situ Cheng and spoke,
"Elder, this Chu Huaixu is not a Sword Cultivator; he’s a Body Cultivator!"
