The Birth of Sword God-Chapter 145 - 135: The Swordless Reveals His Edge

This year’s East Continent Grand Tournament could be described as exceptionally exciting.

Not only were geniuses gathered, but there were also... frequent upsets?

However, once the upsets become too frequent, they actually cease to be upsets.

Everyone began to gradually realize that the two crude yet strikingly attractive Body Cultivators, along with that female Junior Sister resembling a Sword Immortal, all possessed extraordinary strength!

Simply from a spectator’s perspective, their matches seemed to be more appealing.

As a result, whenever Chu Huaixu and others took the stage, the area around the platform would be packed, with the largest number of spectators.

After all, people are ultimately visual creatures.

This is akin to the Olympics, where everyone is strong, but if an athlete is particularly good-looking, they undoubtedly attract more attention.

The three of them: one is handsome, one is stunningly beautiful, and the last one... of ambiguous gender?

They practically encapsulate all aspects of aesthetic appeal.

People like Lang Yue and Shen Miaoyun, now appear to be die-hard fans of Chu Huaixu.

Promoting him to everyone has become their standard behavior.

This caused the Dead Fox to sigh: "Sigh, the charisma of a person is simply undeniable!"

Today is the fifth round of the matches.

Han Shuangjiang’s number was drawn earlier, so her match took place in the morning.

As usual, all 20 arenas in the Martial Arts Arena were open, with several matches occurring simultaneously.

Thus, the flow of people revealed which cultivator garnered more popularity.

Big Ice Cube’s looks have universal appeal, even to the extent of same-gender attraction, leading to a crowding phenomenon around the platform.

Fortunately, Chu Huaixu practiced Body Refining; no one could stop him from pushing through the crowd.

"Xiaoxu is really something, only appearing for her matches,"

"I wonder what special training she undergoes every day," he thought to himself.

Jiang Zhi is evidently giving her extra sessions, showing special attention to her.

Chu Huaixu didn’t mind this.

All in all, it equated to the Daoist Junior Martial Uncle nurturing enforcers exclusively for him.

"Xiaoxu will always be mine," thought the angel investor in his heart.

Han Shuangjiang’s match officially began at this moment.

Her draw luck was still unfortunate.

Moreover, for some unknown reason, she always ended up facing Daoist members.

Today she drew Ruan Qiu, who was on the first version of Chu Huaixu’s Assassination List.

This woman was somewhat attractive, but in front of Han Shuangjiang, she seemed dimmed and lackluster.

One might question the strength of the Joy Sect, a third-rate sect, but not their eye for beauty!

Sister Ruan Qiu was also at First Realm Great Perfection, with overall strength equivalent to about 1.4 Ding Bolins.

Without using Reincarnation Sword Intent, Han Shuangjiang only had a slight edge.

Only after utilizing a sliver of sword intent could the victory be determined.

Up till now, she hadn’t recklessly used Reincarnation Sword Intent.

Chu Huaixu had witnessed her "complete form," and he was very aware of how powerful Big Ice Cube could be in that state!

"Second Generation Observatory Master Yan Shen was the strongest among the disciples of Dao Ancestor," he thought to himself.

"The sword intent she passed down is indeed terrifying."

Ruan Qiu was thoroughly defeated and admitted her loss graciously.

In the Outer Sect of the Daoist Sect, the gender ratio is six to four.

With great grace, she said to Han Shuangjiang: "Junior Sister Han, do strive hard. If a female champion emerges in this year’s East Continent Grand Tournament, I would be extremely pleased."

Although Big Ice Cube had already bet on Chu Huaixu winning the championship in the casino, she still earnestly nodded in front of Ruan Qiu, not wanting to embarrass her.

...

At noon, the main topic of conversation over tea and meals was once again the amazingly stunning Han Shuangjiang.

The rumor of her possibly mastering sword intent had completely spread.

Many Daoist disciples previously favored Chang Le and Ji Sikong the most.

Now, many people already feel that Han Shuangjiang might just be this generation’s top in the Daoist Sect!

This is still considering she has not yet reached First Realm Great Perfection, and people are unaware of her possessing the Profound Yin Body, otherwise, the opinion would likely be overwhelmingly one-sided.

At the dining table, Big Ice Cube looked at Chu Huaixu and said, "Haven’t you always wanted to spar with Sword Cultivators? Finally, you managed to draw one."

This Swordless nodded and said, "You’re not exactly a particularly suitable point of reference, and the grade of Zhegu Heaven is too high. I need to spar with other Sword Cultivators to figure out the range of my suppressing ability."

Han Shuangjiang could roughly understand the meaning behind this, so she slightly nodded.

She had already, in her heart, mourned for the Sword Cultivator opposite.

Of course, there was also a little bit of schadenfreude.

The reason is simple; the opponent came from the Sword Sect!

Having been in the Daoist Sect for some time, she had started to be slightly assimilated by the internal atmosphere.

Seeing Sword Sect’s Sword Cultivators being overwhelmed by Daoist Sword Cultivators would invariably put her in a better mood.

As the match time approached, Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang went to the Martial Arts Arena together.

This was already the fifth round, and occasionally some sect leaders would appear among the spectators, even Great Cultivators might be present.

But those terrifying Eighth Realm beings had still never come here.

At this moment, above the clouds, there was a Great Cultivator standing in the air, overlooking the Martial Arts Arena below.

They wouldn’t get too close, to avoid any influence.

Among them was the leader of the first-rate sect, Valley of Carefree, a Fifth Realm Great Perfection cultivator named Mo Tenglong.

Earlier, his Valley of Carefree disciple was defeated by this Body Cultivator’s Martial World Martial Arts, which filled him with rage.

Yet, as Chu Huaixu’s reputation continued to grow, Mo Tenglong began to realize that there was certainly something extraordinary about this young man, prompting him to come see for himself today.

"Body Cultivators have always had the fewest techniques among the various cultivator types."

"Let’s see what kind of surprises you can present to me today."

As for Geng Tianhe and others, they attended every match of Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang.

For Zhao Xinghan and Kuimu Quan, this was a task assigned by their sect elders, and the duo did seem peculiar.

But for Geng Tianhe, he could vaguely sense something special about the relationship between Han Shuangjiang and Chu Huaixu!

"They do look kind of like Dao companions?" He felt somewhat uneasy in his heart.

Sword Cultivators are the proudest people under the heavens.

In his understanding and worldview, he could never have imagined that this female Sword Cultivator, who was incredibly stunning to him, would fancy such a crude Body Cultivator?

"Could it be because he’s handsome?" Geng Tianhe couldn’t believe that a woman of such heavenly talent would be so shallow!

So, his current mentality was more about observing what kind of person Chu Huaixu really was!

Sure enough, today this pair of man and woman came together again.

"His opponent today is my sect’s Junior Brother Mo, who is not lacking in strength!" Geng Tianhe thought.

Chu Huaixu stepped onto the arena and began to register.

Once the entire procedure was completed, he cupped his hands in salute with Mo Lingfeng opposite him.

Mo Lingfeng had slightly dark skin and a resolute face.

The sword in his hand had a rather unique design, the hilt being somewhat longer than usual.

The match officially began, and Mo Lingfeng reached out to draw his sword from its scabbard.

The next moment, he couldn’t help but let out:

"Hmm?"

...

...

A mountain breeze blew across the arena.

—The sword didn’t come out.

Mo Lingfeng’s sword was called Celestial Stone.

The materials for this sword included Outer Heaven Meteorite Iron, hence its naming.

This sword, as his Lifebound Spiritual Artifact, was nourished day and night.

For a Sword Cultivator, the sword is the most important partner in their life!

He looked down at Celestial Stone in astonishment, then lifted his eyes to glance at Chu Huaixu.

Chu Huaixu just stood opposite, hands clasped behind his back, doing nothing.

Initially, Mo Lingfeng also looked down on the crude Body Cultivator.

Yet the other had such grace, not making a move before he drew his sword, and his impression of him rose sharply!

He lowered his head again to draw the sword.

"Hmm?!"

Still, it couldn’t be drawn!

This made him realize the seriousness of the problem.

On this arena, the only one who could tamper with his sword was definitely his opponent opposite!

Truly a crude Body Cultivator, what dirty tricks is this?

"What did you do to my sword?" Mo Lingfeng couldn’t help but speak out.

Chu Huaixu looked at him and merely smiled slightly.

Below the arena, everyone looked at each other, completely puzzled as to why Mo Lingfeng, a Sword Cultivator from the Sword Sect, couldn’t even draw his sword?

Geng Tianhe furrowed his brows even more, finding the scene on the stage incomparably bizarre!

Just see Mo Lingfeng hold the sword horizontally in front of him, his right hand gripping the already longer hilt tightly.

He gave a light shout and began to circulate the spiritual power within him!

"Zing—!" The Spirit Sword was thus drawn an inch from its scabbard.

Chu Huaixu, wearing a black robe, stood in the wind, and then took a step forward, the Little Sword in his Sea of Consciousness aroused again.

The instant this step fell, the long sword that was drawn an inch returned into the scabbard again!

Mo Lingfeng’s pupils suddenly trembled; he looked at the opponent with disbelief.

Below the arena, exclamations began to arise one after another.

The scene before them was truly too shocking.

This Body Cultivator took one step forward, and the sword couldn’t be drawn again?

The Sword Spirit that was once in concordance with Mo Lingfeng was now like an ostrich with its head buried in the sand.

It gave him no response at all!

"What kind of sinister method have you used on my Celestial Stone Sword!" Mo Lingfeng’s heart was instantly thrown into chaos, starting to worry about his Lifebound Sword.

The Daoist Sect and Sword Sect never got along, so Chu Huaixu naturally saw him as the best test subject.

He remained silent, standing in the wind, his robes fluttering loudly.

Mo Lingfeng let out a roar, beginning to circulate his spiritual power with full force!

"I don’t care what dirty tricks you’ve used, or what sinister method!"

"But you should strike at this moment!"

"You’re being so arrogant, the one who loses will still be you!"

The spiritual power within him surged madly, forcibly pulling the Celestial Stone Sword out of its scabbard.

He thrust forward abruptly, yet felt that the sword in his hand wasn’t as handy as usual?

Typically, for a Sword Cultivator, the Lifebound Sword should be as responsive as one’s own limb.

But today was abnormal, even his sword techniques in hand began to deform somewhat?

The Sword Spirit still gave him no response, yet seemed rather disobedient.

At this moment, this sword was full of flaws in the eyes of the Swordless with Sword Heart Clarity opposite.

Chu Huaixu sighed softly.

He was somewhat disappointed with this opponent from the Sword Sect; this was not the result he wanted to test.

And this sigh made Mo Lingfeng like a madman, increasingly humiliated and angry.

As the sword reached his front, the crude Body Cultivator raised his right hand, lightly flicking his fingers on the sword.

"Zing—!"

The Celestial Stone Sword was actually sent flying!

Having lost his Spirit Sword, Mo Lingfeng’s pupils suddenly contracted.

The shock and shadow that this scene in front of him caused him was something he had never experienced in his life.

"How could... how could this be!"

Seeing him in this state, Chu Huaixu revealed the truth to him.

"Because your sword fears me." he said.
