Chapter 262 The New Swordsmanship Professor
Looking at the Yellow Springs Sword blade held between two fingers.
Ye Jiuling's mind trembled slightly.
As an SS-level weapon skill, the most powerful characteristic of the Yellow Spring Sword is [cutting].
In terms of penetrating power, it can even break through the defense of a seventh-tier lord-level golden bone beast. The sword energy is even more terrifying. In addition to its sharpness that can cut through everything, it also carries a strong death aura from the underworld, which is enough to annihilate the physical body and freeze the spirit.
But at this moment... her sword technique was caught by her opponent using only two fingers?!
Just how strong is his physique?!
"Whoosh!"
Ye Jiuling released his grip, his body transforming into a sword as he smoothly landed ten meters behind him.
The Yellow Spring Sword, which Jiang Yuan was holding, also changed from solid to ethereal, transforming into a streak of purplish-black sword energy that flew out and returned to Ye Jiuling's hand.
"The rumors are true, you are indeed very strong."
"You also have a special physique, able to imprison my Yellow Springs with your physical body?" Ye Jiuling asked, her clear eyes curiously staring at the black-clad youth in front of her.
Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "You can think that way too."
"He actually managed to hold his own against the minister, wow, that's amazing..." Zhang Qi swallowed hard.
Previously, he only noticed that the demon sword at the other party's waist was amazing, but he thought that he was just a third-level freshman.
I never imagined that he was the legendary martial arts champion!
He's still a super expert who can rival the minister!
He Xuanjia was also quite shocked. She felt ashamed when she thought about how she had acted like a senior student and tried to recruit such a talented person into the sword club. Her cheeks burned.
Ye Jiuling glanced at the demon sword at Jiang Yuan's waist, her clear eyes flashing, her fighting spirit boiling as she said, "Are you also a swordsman? Draw your sword and let me see your swordsmanship."
"Hahahaha, Ye Jiuling, that guy is the opponent I've set my sights on. Don't you dare try to take him from me! I'll kill you!"
A wild and unrestrained laugh came from the other side. Shi Zhentian, who had just finished digesting a special spiritual medicine, stood up at the top of Sword Rock. He was wearing a golden-black battle armor, and his blood and qi emanated from his body like wolf smoke. His nearly 2.3-meter-tall body was extremely terrifying to look at, and his aura was domineering and unparalleled.
Ye Jiuling glanced at him and sneered, "You? Have you forgotten who left that scar on your face? Today, I don't mind carving a few more on you."
"It's been a while, and Ye's tongue has become as sharp as your sword."
Shi Zhentian tilted his chin back, patted his neck, and said arrogantly, "If you're so capable, come and chop me. Let's see if you can even break my skin."
Without further ado, Ye Jiuling flicked her fingers, and two cyan sword energies, like two intertwined pythons, roared out and then converged into an extremely fine and sharp cyan light, instantly arriving in front of Shi Zhentian.
Shi Zhentian unleashed a punch.
"laugh!"
Fresh blood bloomed.
Looking at the bleeding wound on his fist.
Shi Zhentian grinned and said, "It's a bit stronger than before, quite interesting."
Watching the wound on his hand heal instantly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He Xuanjia sighed, "Truly worthy of the title 'Overlord Body.' That attack from the Minister could have instantly killed even a sixth-tier ferocious beast, yet it only caused him such negligible damage..."
Zhang Qi said with a wry smile, "If you stand still and keep attacking, I'm afraid I won't be able to break through your defenses."
Seeing Shi Zhentian, Ye Jiuling and several other top-ranked students were already getting restless.
A senior instructor coughed and said in a deep voice, "That's enough."
"Today is an important assessment day, not a martial arts arena for you to run wild. So behave yourselves."
"Teacher Fan is right." Jiang Yan, who was sitting cross-legged on a sword-shaped rock, opened his eyes and said, "A bunch of unruly fellows."
"You agree, right?"
He looked up.
The slender figure standing in the purple magma smiled slightly, "Isn't it quite energetic? I like it very much."
"You're still the same as ever, always so nonchalant, it's infuriating to watch." A cold laugh came from not far away, and a small silver insect flew over. Then, space distorted, and the silver insect was replaced by a human figure.
The man had curly hair, wore a high-class robe, and monocle. His thin lips revealed a hint of meanness, and his eyes were contemptuous and arrogant.
"Oh? Xiao Zhiyu, you actually came in person. It's rather unusual for someone with your personality to want to participate in the national war and contribute to the country." The tall figure said in surprise.
Jiang Yan laughed and said, "Because your clone was destroyed, you had no choice but to send out your main body, right?"
"Shut up, third one."
Xiao Zhiyu pushed up his monocle. "If it weren't for the family's orders, I wouldn't bother participating."
He glanced at Lin Qingyan, who was standing atop a frozen sword-shaped rock in the distance, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
The task of eliminating his clones is far from over.
Gao Tian looked around.
"Looks like most of the people have arrived..."
In his view, all of the top ten students in the entire school had already arrived.
Sikong, Xiao Zhiyu, Jiang Yan, Long Ci, Shi Zhentian, Ye Jiuling, [Madman] Zhang Kai, [Bow King] Chang Baimo, Chi Guang...
Each of the top geniuses stood atop a sword-shaped rock, their imposing auras surging, their opponents locked in fierce confrontation.
The thousands of students on the distant grassland felt a strong sense of oppression just watching this scene, and couldn't help but breathe rapidly and feel their blood boiling.
"The ten strongest players have all arrived; this is going to be exciting."
"I wonder if a dark horse will emerge."
"No matter what, Senior Sikong is definitely the strongest!!"
"Wait, isn't that Senior Sister Yan?!" a junior exclaimed.
On a sword-shaped rock, Yan Runan, whose eyes were covered by black silk and whose dreamy blue hair flowed freely, had a lollipop in her mouth and a faint smile on her lips.
Her upper body was dressed in a school uniform, while her tight black pants accentuated her perfectly long and slender legs and slim waist.
As for the weapon she took out, it was a large-caliber pistol.
"We made it."
Lu Qian, a beast tamer, arrived just in time on a blue phoenix and witnessed this scene.
She looked surprised, never expecting that her usually lazy best friend would actually participate in such a selection competition.
"It's like the sun has risen in the west! Go Ru Nan!!"
……
Among a group of top experts from the academy.
Besides cheering for Sikong and Jiang Yan, the most enthusiastic supporters were also there.
The women also received a tremendous cheer.
Ye Jiuling, Long Ci, Yan Runan, and Lin Qingyan are all candidates on the school beauty ranking list.
Among the newly crowned school beauties besides them, Luo Xi stood on the grassland, her eyes fixed on only one person.
The figure in black in her field of vision raised its head and looked up at the sky.
A portal of light appeared.
Three figures emerged from the sky.
They are Principal Nan Yue, Martial Arts Department Professor Chen Zhen, and Psychology Department Professor Song Yun.
Three quasi-king level powerhouses stood in mid-air, their unintentional emanation instantly filling the entire secret realm with their oppressive aura, causing the chaotic elements to...
The clamor of thousands of people on the grassland instantly fell silent, and everyone looked up with awe in their eyes.
Even the top talents restrained their aura to show respect.
Nan Yue threw an ice crystal into the lake in the center of the grassland. As soon as the ice crystal hit the water, it burst out with a dazzling blue light, freezing the entire lake instantly.
A frozen lake covering tens of thousands of acres would undoubtedly be the best location for a battlefield.
Is it finally about to begin?
Everyone thought to themselves.
Nan Yue began, "Today's selection competition will be a challenge-based event."
"Stand atop Sword Rock, and you shall be a challenger."
"Your opponents are the newly appointed professor of swordsmanship. He will judge and select the final candidates for the national war based on the matches you have fought."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan and the others raised their eyebrows slightly.
It's not a battle, but a direct confrontation with the professor?!
Sikong laughed and said, "Interesting."
Chen Zhen said in a deep voice, "There are no restrictions in this competition. Talents, skills, equipment, items... you can use them all. You have half an hour to adjust your state."
"You only get one chance to take on this challenge."
Hearing his words.
Even the most arrogant Shi Zhentian's eyes flickered slightly as he sat down and began to adjust his state.
After all, the opponent wasn't a peer from the same year, but a professor!
The other party might be a ninth-tier Grandmaster.
It could also be... a future king!
Even if I'm going to lose, I don't want to lose too badly in front of so many people...
He Xuanjia glanced at Ye Jiuling, who had entered a meditative state, then looked at the black-clad youth who was still standing leisurely in front of her, gazing at the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers, and asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to adjust your state? You're going to be facing the professor later."
"No need," the boy replied casually.
How arrogant...
He Xuanjia thought to himself.
Even the minister doesn't dare to be careless, yet he's so arrogant. Does he have so much confidence in his own abilities?
Let's see how many moves you can withstand.
……
Time passed by, second by second.
Half an hour passed quickly.
Ye Jiuling and the other top geniuses awoke from their meditative state and reached their peak condition.
Lu Qian looked around, puzzled, and asked, "Wasn't it said that the selection competition would be overseen by the newly appointed professor of swordsmanship? I haven't seen him here."
"Not here yet?" Zhang Qi asked.
He Xuanjia asked in confusion, "But it's about to start already."
Just now.
Principal Nan Yue spoke towards a spot on the ground, "Professor Jiang, we can begin."
He Xuanjia and the others were surprised to find that the principal was actually speaking to Jianyan, where they were. They were even more puzzled and confused when they heard her words.
Professor Jiang?
professor?
where?
But the next second, something even more astonishing happened.
The black-clad youth standing not far ahead nodded and said, "Mm."
Under the bewildered and stunned gazes of He Xuanjia and the others.
The black-clad youth took a step forward, appearing as if by teleportation on the vast frozen lake. His gaze swept over the top geniuses on Sword Rock, and he said calmly:
"The selection process begins now. Who wants to go first?"
