First Round of Competition Ends

"Great!! It seems like I have a good luck to face someone strong." Ling Jie did not display any of the nervousness one might have when facing a strong opponent, but rather replied with a face full of laughter. Then, he slowly withdrew his weapon —— Space Splitting Sword.

This sword was a high-grade Earth Profound Weapon that he just obtained from the Sword Management Terrace a month ago. Even though it could not compare to the incomparably rare Sky Profound Sword, among Earth Profound Weapons, it was definitely one of the best of weapons with a might that inspired awe.

He entered the Sword Discourse Arena with confidence.

Rihan also made his move and instantly arrived in the arena while remnants of dark smoke slowly dissipated from his shoulders.

He was a bit interested in this youth who looked so optimistic.

"Heavenly Sword Villa's Ling Jie, hope we can have a great match." Ling Jie's eyes shone with battle intent.

"Nura Clan's Nura Rihan, let's have fun." Rihan smiled as he gave Ling Jie a reply.

"Don't worry I will win this match to take back Princess sis." Ling Jie's spoke.

'Princess Sis?' Rihan tilted his head, he's not sure who is this 'Princess Sis' he was talking about, he can only leave the thought aside.

After seeing Rihan and Ling Jie were ready, Ling Wugou immediately announced the start of the match.

Ling Jie charged forward leaving an after image, howling. His eyes were filled with battle intent, and as he drew near Rihan, his Space Splitting Sword was unsheathed! The sword gleamed brilliantly, and the very first attack was directed towards Rihan's chest.

His serious expression told Rihan that Ling Jie means business.

"Heh." Rihan smirked as he moved like the wind, taking a step back, allowing the sword to slash past his body.

"Chi!"

Ling Jie seems to have expected this as he dashed with even more speed towards Rihan and launched another attack, and this sword slash was even faster, slashing towards Rihan's shoulder from the opposite direction.

Rihan side stepped and managed to dodge, but he was impressed with Ling Jie's battle instinct so as a sign of respect he unsheathed nenekerimaru.

Ling Jie took a step back and sent another slash, the Space Splitting Sword directly struck out towards Rihan in a piercing movement which was easily parried by the latter.

The bursts of clattering and banging sounds of the profound energy collisions reverberated through the air.

The two clashed together tens of times within a few breaths as a sound like thunder jolted the ears of those present.

"This Ling Jie is really outstanding. To think that he can compete against an Nura Rihan whose profound strength is higher than his in swords play without going into a disadvantageous position."

"Idiot, can't you see Rihan's casual look? He was just playing with his opponent."

Multiple discussion can be heard as the crowd watch their battle with sword play.

Ling Jie was like a fierce tiger while Rihan appeared to be a calm water simply dispelling Ling Jie's attacks.

There were a few hundred strikes in the blink of an eye, and in the deadlock, neither side could prevail over the other.

At this moment Ling Jie saw an opening and immediately struck Rihan in the chest.

The crowd saw Ling Jie's sword stabbed Rihan in the chest.

They were stunned, could it be Rihan lost? They couldn't believe it.

However they soon discovered that their worries were unwarranted as they saw 'Rihan' who was stabbed with the Space Splitting Sword tremble and turn into dark smoke.

And behind Ling Jie, smoke started to rise while Rihan's sword nenekerimaru has been placed on Ling Jie's neck stopping the former from making any movements.

"Don't forget to be cautious when you're in battle or else you will end up falling into your enemies trap. Like what just happened. Well you're not a bad opponent, if you have a free time you can visit us." Rihan said as he took nenekerimaru back and dissappeared from the arena followed by Ling Wugou voice announcing Rihan's win.

"Blue Wind Imperial Family's Rihan Wins."

The crowd cheered with Intensity while the girls into beasts as they roared with all their might.

Cang Yue and Qin Wushang couldn't help but applaud upon seeing Rihan's performance.

Fen Juechen also nodded towards Rihan, he already accepted the fact that the other party is superior, but his competent attitude still remained as he vowed to catch up.

Time passed and today's tournament finally ended, the following matches that Rihan participated in ended with breeze as he dominated his opponents while some surrendered right away.

The tournament next day also ended with the same results. Rihan now passed the test with 12 wins, entered the top 300, and fought his way into the second round of group stages.

Without any suspense, Fen Juechen and every member of the four major sects were also able to clear the first round of group stages with undefeated streaks except Ling fought with Rihan.

The first round of group stages had ended.

From Nura Clan only Xia Yuanba waved his arms and cheered, the Blue Wind was smiling merrily, and Qin Wushang was grinning from ear to ear. Even though he had absolute confidence that Rihan and Fen Juechen could make it into the second round of group stages, when it finally happened, he was still unable to suppress the excitement in his heart … Because this was the first time in the history of Blue Wind Royal Family that anyone had entered the second round of group stages! The first time a disciple entered into the top three hundred rankings!

"I'll send a sound transmission to the emperor right away. He'll definitely be very happy when he gets this news, and maybe even his illness will improve if he's in a great mood." Qin Wushang said with incomparable excitement, then impatiently went to find a corner to send a sound transmission.

"Rihan, that's great. After Royal Father knows about you, he will definitely be very happy. If you are able to enter the top hundred again, Royal Father would not have much of a regret even if it were a funeral … Rihan, thank you so much. " Cang Yue's face flushed red. She held Rihan's hand lightly, and her beautiful eyebrows curved into two beautiful crescent moons amidst her joy.

Rihan was suddenly stunned by her aggressiveness and was about to speak when he suddenly felt a faintly discernable killing intent brush across his face.

"Hmmph, acting shy doesn't fit you at all." Rihan heard Jasmine and couldn't help but smile, this girl has ignored him for a long time now.

'Little girl, I wasn't acting shy at all. It was just that it's my first time experience so I was a bit helpless.' Rihan replied.

"I'm glad to hear that." Rihan smiled and rubbed Cang Yue's head like an adult, he did so while speaking with Jasmine in his mind.

Hannya who saw the scene couldn't help but shake his head, this kid sure knows how to act cool.
