Battle-Worthy Slayer Technique! Hao Lan's Body?!

Boom!

Yao Yan looked back instinctively at one of the stadiums and saw a small cloud containing high amounts of Spirit Qi. She felt her body shudder when she thought of the people who received such a horrifying attack.

"Come on 'cold beauty'! Don't get distracted or you might suddenly die!" An annoying-sounding voice spoke in front of Yao Yan as a small dagger flew past her, causing a small scratch on her cheek.

"You've got nerve attacking me. Did you not think about the reprocussions?" Yao Yan said as she pulled out an orb that started floating.

"Receive my attack without blocking since you think this is funny!" Yao Yan said as she said a few strange words. Soon after, the wind and Spirit Qi around her converged into the form of 5 spikes that were rapidly spinning.

'Since you like to run so much, let's see how long you can hold out against these!' Yao Yan thought to herself as she pointed in the direction of a slender man with white skin.

The spikes followed her command and instantly attacked the man. They flew at incredible speeds towards him, constantly building up their penetration power.

"These things are too slow for me! Haha!" The man said. He had dark purple hair and snake-like eyes. He's the older brother of Zi Peng, Zi Yun. He was wearing a loose yellow purple robe and had a jade bracelet on his right wrist.

'You won't be able to hold out for that long Zi Yun. The longer those spikes are following you, the faster they get! You'll run out of stamina eventually, and then you'll be a lamb to the slaughter when that happens!' Yao Yan thought to herself.

"What? Why do I feel like the power of my attack dropped? Shouldn't it have done more damage?" Xu Yongzheng asked himself. Maybe he didn't execute the move correctly? But he had all the information on it in his head.

There was no way the voice would give him false information. Or at least it hadn't until now.

After the attack hit the contestants, a loud noise sounded, and a small body of smoke formed, covering the appearances of the contestants.

Xu Yongzheng patiently waited for the smoke to disappear as he saw the figures of the contestants emerging.

Some of them were knocked straight out, covered in blood and others were coughing up blood with missing limbs. Either way, nobody died which lifted an invisible boulder off Xu Yongzheng's back.

"Phew! If I killed someone on accident I would get kicked outof the sect...It would probably take another decade or two until any of the other sects in the Zhou Haven Empire start a disciple recruiting tournament..." Xu Yongzheng mumbled to himself as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.

'In the Zhou Haven Empire, there are more than 50 sects and reclusive clans, though only the sects recruit disciples. Azure Sword Sect is at the bottom of the barrel despite having so many interesting individuals...'

While Yao Yan was thinking to himself, he saw the figure of Hao Lan emerging from the smoke.

'Did she not face my attack? I don't blame her I wouldn't face such a terrifying attack either...' Xu Yongzheng nor Hao Lan were foolish enough to face such a terrifying attack just because some random disciples asked them to.

"I...I surrender!" Hao Lan said as she stabbed her blade into the stadium. Her forehead and legs were covered in blood, she looked like she was an actor in a horror movie.

Despite all the blood, her wounds were healing at an amazing speed, but the Spirit Qi from Xu Yongzheng's attack was making it difficult.

'Whatever kind of attack that was...It was truly amazing!' Hao Lan thought to herself as she had an almost fanatic look on her face. She had been searching her entire life for the strongest sword techniques to match her Poison Blade, 'Yatami'.

During the competition, it seems she finally found it. Hao Lan abandoned her pride and was willing to do anything to get her hands on the knowledge of such a supreme sword technique!

Even if it meant she had to use her body.

"That sword technique! C-Can you teach me it?" Hao Lan said while pulling her sword out of the stadium.

'Teach her the sword technique? Is she crazy, I wouldn't do something so stupid...What if she spreads it around?' Suddenly, the voice in Xu Yongzheng's head spoke again.

"Bzzt. Does the owner wish to sign in at 'The Inner Disciple Competition'?"

"Sign in!"

"Bzzt. Congratulations! The owner has obtained the S-Class 'Battle-Worthy Slayer' Technique!"

?!

What's up with all the good sword techniques?

Just as Xu Yongzheng was about to freak out from what he obtained, Hao Lan quickly approached him.

"I-I'll even give you my b-body if you teach me that s-sword technique..." Xu Yongzheng looked at her blankly for a second and didn't speak.

Even though Hao Lan threw her pride to the side, she couldn't do the same for her embarrassment. She thought the best way to get Xu Yongzheng to teach her the sword technique was by getting straight to the point.

'B-Body? Huh? V-Voice, you've truly bl-blessed me! B-But I can't teach her that technique, it's my strongest trump card! S-Should I teach her the one I just got?'

Dozens of thoughts rampaged Xu Yongzheng's head as he was standing still like a robot.

"F-Fine." He said. Xu Yongzheng's face was flushed red when he said this, after all, this was his first time even thinking about doing something like this. He was handsome and many girls wanted to do certain things with and to him, but his goal was always getting into a sect and growing stronger.

For once he decided to set those thoughts aside and pay attention to something else. If all he did was focus on getting revenge, then what would happen to him after he gets it?

Will he just be a soulless husk after his goal is achieved? Xu Yongzheng didn't want that.
