C47 A Battle of Grudges
C47 A Battle of Grudges
The inner circle disciples were the backbone of the Snow Sword Sect. The strength of the inner circle disciples would affect the future prosperity and decline of the sect. More than half of the resources in the sect were used to nurture the inner circle disciples.
Joining the inner circle disciples was the wish of all the disciples of the Snow Sword Sect. Every year, the Outer Sect's disciple competition would attract the attention of countless people.
Before the semi-final, the five or six people of the competition had already been decided. Zhao Muer had won the sixth place with her formidable strength. If it wasn't for the fact that everyone knew that she would definitely join Elder Zhao's faction, the other elders would have already offered to recruit her.
Every disciple looked at the top five or six disciples with envy and jealousy. Everyone was eager to jump into the Dragon Gate like a carp.
The top four contestants in the semi-final were Wang Hao, Wang Lun, Jing Tian and Zhao Jie. The semi-final was Wang Hao versus Wang Lun, and Jing Tian versus Zhao Jie.
Before the competition began, the ring was already packed with disciples. Some of them were even smart enough to start a bet.
"Come, come, come! Zhuang Li started the bet. He bet that Wang Hao would win one to five, and Wang Lun would win one to one and five!"
Someone protested." Hey, I think Wang Lun's odds are too low!"
The disciple who opened the shop rolled his eyes at this person, "Wang Hao won by 1 to 5, you can vote for him!"
The people who protested were speechless. In the end, they still bet on Wang Lun's victory. This action caused the surrounding people to laugh.
"In fact, Wang Hao's performance was not bad. Didn't you see that during the fight between Wang Hao and Lu Yun, he broke Lu Yun's Profound Rank soul weapon with ten sword strikes?"
"Wang Hao is indeed powerful, but Wang Lun is someone that senior disciple Jing Tian is afraid of. After so many battles, who among you saw Wang Lun use his full strength?"
These words caused everyone to fall into deep thought. They recalled Wang Lun's previous attack. No matter who they faced, even if they were facing the fourth ranked disciple of Outer Sect, they would still be able to easily defeat him.
In an instant, all the disciples who participated in the bet threw their vitality stones to Wang Lun.
"Ten thousand Yuan Stones. I bet that Wang Hao will win."
This sudden voice attracted everyone's attention. The Zhuang family raised their head and saw that the person standing in front of them was Wang Hao!
Wang Hao did not say anything. He threw the Essence Ring containing ten thousand stones to the Zhuang family, then turned around and jumped onto the arena.
The disciple of the Zhuang family felt a little awkward. He had already started a bet with the Zhuang family, but he didn't expect Wang Hao to come and bet.
"Ten thousand stones. If Wang Hao wins, won't I have to pay fifty thousand stones?"
The Zhuang family was a little confused, but then he laughed again, "I'm really worried. How could Wang Lun lose? Wang Hao is willing to give me money, so naturally, I will accept it!"
Just as the dealer was feeling proud of himself, another person appeared in front of him.
"Ten thousand stones, bet on Wang Hao to win."
The Zhuang family's expression became interesting. He suddenly raised his head, and the face that entered his eyes was shockingly Zhao Muer.
"Senior sister Muer..."
"And me, and me! One thousand five hundred stones, bet on Wang Hao winning! "Jia Houwei also came over. He had previously won one thousand stones. Adding on the wealth he had accumulated, he had two thousand stones. Wang Hao had borrowed six hundred stones from him to make a bet of ten thousand stones, and the rest were all used to bet on Wang Hao's win.
"Jia Houwei, you have always been poor. It was not easy for you to have some money. Aren't you afraid that you will lose your underpants this time?" Jia Houwei had been doing odd jobs in the sect before he joined the sect. The disciples who had established the village naturally knew him.
Jia Houwei chuckled. "You should worry about yourself. Twenty-one thousand five hundred spirit stones, one to five. If Boss wins, you'll lose your underpants. I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up with him!"
The Zhuang family's expression became very ugly. He calculated in his heart that if Wang Hao really won against Wang Lun, he would have to spend a lot of money.
"Damn it, Wang Hao, you must not win!"
On the arena, Wang Hao closed his eyes to rest. He was accumulating his fighting spirit. Wang Lun was the strongest opponent he had ever met, and it was also a life and death battle. A single mistake could cost him his life.
"Wang Lun is here!"
Gasps sounded from below the arena. The people in the north made way for him. Wang Lun shook his Paper Fan and stepped onto the arena with confidence. He looked at Wang Hao and asked with contempt, "Wang Hao, are you ready to die?"
Wang Hao opened his eyes. His two eyes were like sword beams, and a powerful fighting intent burst out.
Wang Lun was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed, "Interesting! Interesting! I want to see how strong the useless young master of the family is now!"
Both of them were ready to fight. As the supervisor of this competition, Elder Lin Ting slowly stepped onto the arena.
Lin Ting glanced at Wang Hao and gave him a cautious look. As an elder of Outer Sect, Lin Ting naturally knew Wang Lun's character and means. Since Wang Hao had a grudge with him, Wang Lun would never let go of any opportunity to take revenge on Wang Hao!
Wang Hao nodded slightly, indicating that Elder Lin Ting understood. Lin Ting shouted, "The competition begins!"
As Elder Lin Ting's words fell, the surrounding disciples and elders immediately fixed their eyes on the two of them.
"Clang! The Shocking Sound Sword was drawn out of the sheath. The sword's body trembled slightly, and sword qi flew horizontally.
"Pa!" Wang Lun opened the Paper Fan in his hand. The intense Essence Energy Undulation caused one's heart to palpitate.
The battle had yet to begin, and the aura and battle intent emitted by the two of them had already caused many disciples with lower cultivation realms to be unable to breathe.
"Senior brother, it's such a hot day, why do I feel a little cold?"
"This is killing intent. The battle between these two is probably not as simple as a competition."
Wang Hao and Wang Lun's fighting intent kept rising. They didn't give in to each other, as if they had to suppress each other before they attacked.
Wang Hao stared at the Paper Fan in Wang Lun's hand. This Paper Fan was Wang Lun's soul weapon. Wang Hao had to be extremely careful because even now, he still didn't know what kind of bloodline Wang Lun had!
Time passed by. Wang Hao and Wang Lun still didn't move half a step, but beads of sweat had appeared on their foreheads.
"I didn't expect Wang Hao to improve so quickly. If I had known earlier, I would have done it before the entrance exam. Damn the order of the family. It has put me in a bind. If Wang Hao was a little stronger, those old men in the family... I'm afraid we're going to panic!"
Wang Lun's thoughts changed, and his Qi weakened by a little bit. Wang Hao immediately seized the opportunity and thrust the sword in his hand.
"Heart Penetrating Sword!"
Wang Hao's attack was a Profound Rank martial skill. Yuan energy gathered on the blade of the sword, and Wang Hao was like an arrow that had left the line, shooting towards Wang Lun's chest!
"Well done!" Wang Lun shouted out loudly. He opened the Paper Fan and used the fan to block in front of his chest.
"Ding!"
It was clearly a Paper Fan, but Wang Hao felt as if his sword had stabbed into the metal Profound Artifact. He could no longer move forward.
Wang Lun's lower body sank down, and his feet dug out two shallow holes in the arena. The Paper Fan in his hand was constantly emitting intense Essence Energy Undulation, like ripples spreading out from the surface of a lake.
"Heart Protection Fan!" Jing Tian, who was watching the battle from below the arena, had a serious expression on his face. He had been fighting with Wang Lun for a few years. He naturally knew the power of the Paper Fan in Wang Lun's hand. "This Heart Protecting Fan is in Wang Lun's hand, and it can block any martial skill below the Third Order Profound Grade. Wang Hao's sword will not be able to break it! "
As time passed, Wang Hao's imposing manner gradually weakened. Wang Lun laughed loudly and said, "It's my turn!"
Wang Lun's imposing manner soared. Wang Hao hurriedly withdrew his sword, but Wang Lun's speed was faster than him. He threw out the Heart Protecting Fan. Like a high-speed spinning wheel, the Heart Protecting Fan slashed towards Wang Hao's neck.
"Floating Light! Shadow Shift!"
Wang Hao changed his attack. Two cross-shaped sword Qi slashed at the Heart Protecting Fan. However, the two of them were in a deadlock for less than a second before the sword Qi was shattered by the Heart Protecting Fan!
"Pa!"
The Heart-Protecting Fan caught up to Wang Hao. Wang Hao raised his sword and slashed again. The Shocking Sound Sword and the Heart-Protecting Fan clashed for the second time.
The rapidly spinning Heart Protecting Fan caused countless sparks to appear on the Shocking Sound Sword. Wang Hao widened his eyes. He was shocked to find that the Heart Protecting Fan had still cut a hole in the Shocking Sound Sword!
"How is this possible!?"
Wang Hao could not believe it. Even Elder Hee, who was proficient in refining, was amazed by the Shocking Sound Sword's craftsmanship. According to Elder Hee's judgment, any Profound Artifact below the Fourth Grade Profound Rank would not be able to harm the Shocking Sound Sword in the slightest!
"Could it be that the quality of Wang Lun's soul weapon has already reached the Fourth Grade Profound Rank?"
"Impossible!" Wang Hao immediately rejected his idea, "A Fourth Grade Profound Rank soul weapon is not that easy to obtain. Furthermore, with Wang Lun's cultivation realm... That fan... There must be another world!"
Wang Hao held his breath and carefully observed the Heart Protecting Fan. He immediately discovered that at the edge of the Heart Protecting Mirror, there was a sharp blade that was almost transparent. It was like... a wind blade!
"Ha!"
Wang Hao slashed the Heart Protecting Fan back. Wang Lun extended his hand and steadily caught his soul item.
"So your bloodline is wind!"
Hearing Wang Hao's question, Wang Lun laughed out loud, "Let me tell you what's wrong. That's right, I have the bloodline of wind!"
"Bloodline of wind!" Gasps rose and fell under the arena. The conversation between Wang Hao and Wang Lun had shocked countless of surrounding disciples.
"The bloodline of wind, it's actually the bloodline of wind!"
"Bloodline of Nature is rare. No wonder Wang Lun is so proud. It turns out that his bloodline is one in ten thousand Wind Bloodline!"
Hearing the discussions of the crowd, the face of Lee Feng, who was supervising the battle, turned ugly. He looked at Wang Hao's back and gnashed his teeth in hatred.
"You guys are making a big deal out of a mere bloodline of wind. My nephew's bloodline is an even more rare bloodline of thunder! Damn Wang Hao, you have destroyed the hope of Lee family!"
Elder Zhao, who was standing beside Lee Feng, looked worried. Wang Hao was destined to join the inner circle, and he didn't want Wang Hao to fight Wang Lun head on. Wang Lun was a violent man, and if anything happened to Wang Hao, it would be a huge loss.
"Judging from their previous behavior, Wang Hao and Wang Lun seem to have a huge grudge against each other. I hope this kid won't be too impulsive..."
"Bloodline of Wind, are you very proud of yourself?" Wang Hao poured a bucket of cold water on Wang Lun's head, "I have already killed the bloodline of lightning, so why would I put you in my eyes?"
Wang Lun's smile froze on his face. He angrily said, "Don't compare me with Lee Yuan, that trash!"
"That trash who only has a powerful bloodline but doesn't know how to use it, how can he be compared to me?"
"No matter how strong a bloodline is, it must be able to use it. Lure down the Nine Heavens True Thunders? It's only because of the Talisman engraved in the soul item. That trash Lee Yuan, without a soul item, how much of his bloodline power can he use?"
"Today, I'll let you see just how terrifying a martial artist who can fully utilize the power of their natural bloodline is!"
"Die! Wang Hao! When you are on the verge of death, perhaps I will kindly tell you the truth about you being expelled by your family. After all, dead people will never reveal the secret! "
