The two people who had issued the challenge exchanged a glance. They wanted to warn each other. They didn’t expect then that Lu Ping would suggest he fight them at the same time.

You are looking down upon us, aren’t you?
Xiahou Yuan was a sturdy man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a fiery temper.

Friend, do you know why we chose you?
Liu Jia was completely different than the other. He had a slim body, which could be considered quite thin.
As he faced their questions, Li Ping didn’t reply. He just flew to the sky.
Suddenly, his voice rang out next to the men’s ears.
I don’t care, and I don’t want to waste time with you.



Liu Jia and Xiahou Yuan, who were both competing against each other, were infuriated. They joined hands to teach Lu Ping a lesson.

Brother Li, let me deal with this guy. After a short while, I will fight with you,
Xiahou Yuan said.

OK!
Liu Jia readily agreed.
Xiahou Yuan soared into the sky. He had a powerful aura. If they weren’t on a plaza, a big pothole would have been left on the ground. He was also a blade wielder. While he was flying without coming to a stop, a big golden blade appeared in his hand.

Let me see how amazing you are,
he said.

Swift Wind Blade Spirit: Heaven Overturning Eighteen Strikes!

It was obvious that Xiahou Yuan wasn’t among the best there, but he was still confident in his power. He believed he could amaze Hou Qin. He used a ferocious attack from the start and didn’t even try to probe his opponent. It seemed like he was showing off his techniques.

He’s slightly impulsive, but he won’t suffer any issues because he’s a seven-stars expert.


It’s only because of this that he dared to be so impulsive. If that wasn’t the case, he wouldn’t have acted recklessly.

There were many people who closely observing their fight.


Zhang Fengxun said,
This blade wielder isn’t foolish. Instead, he’s quite smart. He didn’t leave Lu Ping enough time to react properly. He wants to use his advantages to defeat him.


It will be impossible for Lu Ping to block such a blade strike unless he is a four-Qi cultivator like he boasted,
Lin Juan said.
Neither of them found Lu Ping pleasing to the eye, but their arguments were still reasonable. Regardless of how one observed the fighters, it would still seem that Xiahou Yuan was stronger than Lu Ping.
If Lu Ping wanted to get the victory, he had to make a breakthrough in the Martial Doctrine’s aspect. Xiahou Yuan wouldn’t leave him such a chance.
Even though Xiahou Yuan’s actions seemed impulsive, they were the wisest choice. His move was Heaven Overturning Eighteen Strikes. He managed to use 18 blade strikes in an instant. His blade shone brightly. Many layers of blade lights appeared, which looked like raging waves.
Lin Shuangyue became nervous. She didn’t want Lu Ping to suffer a mishap because of her.

Firmament Sword Spirit: Peerless and Magnificent Wind!

Lu Ping decisively used a sword move. It was his strongest sword move.
Xiahou Yuan was more swift and ferocious than anyone. He was willing to face Lu Ping head-on.
However, as Lu Ping’s sword aura started rising up, the ordinary-looking sword, which he had just unsheathed, shone brightly. Even Hou Qin glanced at Jiang Chen displaying an odd expression.


Even though Lu Ping attacked after his opponent, his power was greater. His sword wind swept through everything and crushed the waves formed by the blade strikes.
Xiahou Yuan pursued the path of the swift blade, but Lu Ping’s sword was quicker.

What?
Xiahou Yuan felt a strong wind blowing at him before his blade power completely disappeared. His vigorous blade light beam was extinguished, and it was done by just a part of the sword move’s power.
As for the sword move’s true power, it was directed at Xiahou Yuan’s body. Everyone in the Chaotic Battlefield could clearly hear a miserable scream as they witnessed Xiahou Yuan falling down.
Fortunately, he was saved by someone in time and managed to land safely on the ground.

This, this is impossible!

Lin Juan and Zhang Fengxun, who analyzed the battle confidently, were both greatly surprised. It was especially the case for Zhang Fengxun because he was quite sure of his assumptions.

He managed to challenge someone at a higher Realm Level, and he even got the victory with a single sword strike.
Lin Juan was baffled.
What special trait is he depending upon?

Madame Lin and Second Uncle Lin exchanged a glance. They were both amazed by what they had seen. They looked at Lin Shuangyue and waited for a reply.

It’s too amazing!



Lin Shuangyue had once witnessed Lu Ping using that sword move. It had occurred in the Sword Pavilion, so they couldn’t use their cultivation power. It was only now that she understood that sword move’s true might.

Lu Ping doesn’t have an inherited Sword Doctrine,
she said.
He’s trying to create his own Sword Doctrine. The Firmament Wind Sword Spirit is just the beginning for him.


Creating his own Sword Doctrine? How old is he?

Both Lin Juan and Zhang Fengxun were startled.

That is what a Sword Pavilion teacher said.
Lin Shuangyue found their current appearance quite funny.
Lin Juan took a deep breath. After she got over such a shock, she felt quite unwell.

It turned out that it’s like this, as expected of a Sword Path genius,
Zhang Fengxun said.
When the people next to him were surprised by his statement, he suddenly added,
But, this is also a sad matter because he’s limited by his own body’s aptitude. He can’t release the full potential of his talent in the Sword Path.


What do you mean by that?
Lin Shuangyue asked.

He used his whole power to take the victory while facing that blade wielder’s attack,
Zhang Fengxun said.
If the sword wielder was a Junior Heavenly King, then there isn’t any issue with it. But, Xiahou Yuan isn’t a famous person.



Lin Juan immediately said,
Do you mean that the blade wielder already forced him to use his whole power and that was his upper limit?


That is right,
Zhang Fengxun said.
If he faces someone stronger, his sword will be too weak to deal with the challenger.

Madame Lin hesitated. She couldn’t deny that Zhang Fengxun wasn’t mistaken. A Doctrine Method was a technique that could be mastered by a Star Venerable. After that were all kinds of marvelous powers like the Martial Soul.
Those aspects were all related to the four Qi, which were the tool used by Star Venerables to lay a good foundation. It would already be outstanding for someone like Lu Ping, who ended up in the martial arts club, to have even two Qi in his Constellation Palaces.
Two Qi weren’t really too bad. They were enough to use most Doctrine Methods. The issue was that only a few among those Doctrine Methods were really powerful. At least three Qi or four Qi were needed to truly learn powerful Doctrine Methods.
After Lu Ping defeated Xiahou Yuan, he went back to the stage and looked at the dumbfounded Liu Jia. After several seconds, Liu Jia tacitly left and went to look for someone else.
The first round quickly ended. Six people were eliminated. Besides Lu Ping, the remaining five people were renowned geniuses. One of them was Liu Chengfeng, who was among the top 10 in the Earth List, and the half-monster, Meng Chaofan. As for the remaining three people, they were anything but simple. They were legendary-grade warriors of the Ancient Race.
Hou Qin didn’t issue any invitation and said,
Let’s continue.

It was obvious that the previous fights didn’t catch her attention. The next three fights would be important.

Young Miss Lin, observe it well because he will quickly reach his upper limit, which I have just mentioned,
Zhang Fengxun confidently said.
Lin Shuangyue didn’t know what to say in reply. Besides Lu Ping, it wasn’t easy to deal with any of the five remaining people. Regardless of which person he ran into, it would be a fierce and bitter battle.

He really doesn’t have any cards other than that sword move.
Lin Shuangyue admitted that Zhang Fengxun wasn’t mistaken.
The previous sword move was Lu Ping’s strongest move. How could he deal with an opponent who was stronger by several folds?
This time, the people on the plaza weren’t anxious. They were all fearlessly examining each other and eager to fight. There was a great disparity between the quality in this batch compared to Xiahou Yuan and Liu Jia.
After a short while, two people chose their opponents and flew to the sky. Only Lu Ping and Liu Chengfeng were left standing on the plaza.
When Lu Ping took a step forward, he heard his opponent say,
Just concede. You aren’t a match for me, so let’s not waste each other’s time.

Liu Chengfeng didn’t even look at Lu Ping while speaking to him.
