"Kindly receive the contestants for Sign Number Four, Sign Number Five, and Sign Number Six, please come to the arena..."
On the three arenas, three disciples from the Huashan Sect acted as hosts, each holding a microphone.
"Ruoxi, it's your turn."
Wan Yunting turned his head and smiled. Zhou Ruoxi nodded, picked up the long sword placed on the table, and stood up. She walked towards the center arena. Immediately, media personnel with cameras turned their lenses towards Zhou Ruoxi, who was dressed in a flowing white dress, her beauty stunning. The netizens in the Douyin live stream exclaimed, "Wow, is this a fairy?"
"Who is she? Which sect's disciple is she? I want all her information...!"
"She's the sect leader of Emei, her name is Zhou Ruoxi...!"
"Oh my god, she became a sect leader at such a young age, and she's so beautiful, this is too amazing...!"
"No, no, I want to go to Emei Sect...!"
The netizens in the comment section were captivated, with various comments flooding the screen...
As it turned out, the person who stepped onto the center arena along with Zhou Ruoxi was He Yunxia, dressed in a black long dress. Despite her ordinary appearance, her eyes were sharp, a sneer hung on her lips, and she held a long sword. She walked up to confront Zhou Ruoxi and said with a laugh, "Heh heh, I'm truly envious. You became the sect leader of Emei Sect at such a young age..."
Zhou Ruoxi's expression was aloof. Her sharp autumn eyes gazed directly at He Yunxia, a disciple of the Shenjian Sect, who was uttering sarcastic remarks. Holding her long sword, she remained silent.
He Yunxia continued to taunt with a smile, "You must be the illegitimate daughter of the previous sect leader of Emei Sect, right? Otherwise, with your strength, you wouldn't be able to become the sect leader. It's truly unfair."
These words made Zhou Ruoxi frown, and she said coldly, "Stop your nonsensical talk."
"Heh heh..."
Seeing that the referee had not yet called the start, He Yunxia continued to mock and tease with a wicked smile, "It seems I've hit the mark, and you're getting angry. But it's not surprising. A pampered female disciple from a great sect like you, what use do you have except to seduce your senior and junior brothers?"
"Oh, right. I heard that your relationship with the sect leader Wan of Wuliang Daoist Temple is ambiguous and intimate. Perhaps you're not his mistress?"
These insulting words truly angered Zhou Ruoxi. The fingers gripping her sword tightened. Her sharp autumn eyes stared directly at He Yunxia, who was speaking nonsense. She gritted her teeth in anger, unable to refute her words.
Meanwhile, Wan Yunting, seated below the stage, frowned. He looked at the woman on the arena with a hint of worry in his eyes. Then, Zhou Ruoxi seemed to sense the man's gaze and turned her autumn eyes towards Wan Yunting. He immediately smiled and signaled her with his eyes not to fall for the opponent's scheme...
"The match begins, you are free to make your moves..."
As the referee on the stage finished speaking, Zhou Ruoxi understood the man's gaze. She closed her autumn eyes and took a deep breath to calm herself down...
Suddenly, He Yunxia opposite her eyes widened, revealing a fierce gaze. Without hesitation, she drew her long sword and lunged towards Zhou Ruoxi. Her speed was extreme, causing Yunbai Shitai below the stage, as well as the disciples from various sects, to tense up...
Even the cameraman who was live-streaming trembled slightly as He Yunxia thrust her sword towards Zhou Ruoxi. The netizens in the live stream also tensed up, their eyes wide, as if they could already see the bloody scene of Zhou Ruoxi being pierced through the chest by He Yunxia's sword...
The referee in the corner of the arena was also startled and was about to intervene, but in the next second, Zhou Ruoxi's autumn eyes suddenly opened, emitting two beams of light. With a swish, the sect leader's sword in her hand unsheathed, and a cold glint flashed...
Clang!
She blocked He Yunxia's thrust with her long sword held diagonally in front of her chest. The tip of the sword struck the blade of Zhou Ruoxi's sword, causing He Yunxia's expression to turn grim and angry. But when she looked up, she was startled by Zhou Ruoxi's incredibly sharp gaze...
Immediately, Zhou Ruoxi pushed He Yunxia away. She spun her sword in her right hand, her white long skirt dancing with the raised sword qi, like a fairy dancing with a sword. Her posture was graceful, yet she exuded a sharp aura, exciting the cameraman who kept his lens focused on Zhou Ruoxi...
Even the drones in the sky circled Zhou Ruoxi from all directions, causing netizens in various media live streams to exclaim and comment "fairy descending to earth"...
However, He Yunxia's eyes widened. Facing Zhou Ruoxi's sweeping sword, the sharp sword qi swept out, piercing several holes in the wooden arena on the spot. This startled the cameraman, whose lens did not capture the scene of the arena being pierced with holes...
"Such powerful sword qi!"
He Yunxia, who had narrowly dodged, trembled inwardly. She looked up in surprise at Zhou Ruoxi, whose pretty face was cold. She never expected her to unleash such powerful sword qi, realizing her martial arts realm had reached the late stage of Dan Jin.
Zhou Ruoxi's autumn eyes were sharp. Without further ado, she wielded her sword and attacked He Yunxia proactively...
Clang clang clang, the sound of metal striking metal echoed, and sparks flew...!
Zhou Ruoxi's white long dress fluttered elegantly. Sometimes she leaped into the air and swung her sword, sometimes she spun close to the ground. The sword technique she used was the Emei Sect's Huifeng Fuliu Swordplay. Her sword wind was sharp and powerful, breaking through all defenses. For a moment, she had He Yunxia retreating steadily, unable to cope...
This caused Zhong Yulong, Zhang Xuanliang, Renxin Fuzhang, and Shi Yizhen below the stage to nod and praise, "Sect Leader Zhou of the Emei Sect, at such a young age, possesses such martial arts cultivation, and her swordplay is incredibly sharp. It is truly rare."
"Yes, Sect Leader Zhou has a boundless future and will surely lead the Emei Sect onto the right path and make it flourish..."
While everyone here was praising Zhou Ruoxi, Yan Changjian, who was sitting next to Wan Yunting, had an unpleasant expression. Of course, he could see that his disciple He Yunxia was no match for Zhou Ruoxi.
"Sweeping Across a Thousand Armies!"
Suddenly, on the arena, the grim-faced He Yunxia erupted, channeling all her qi into her long sword. She leaped into the air and unleashed the move "Sweeping Across a Thousand Armies." Invisible sword qi like waves swept towards Zhou Ruoxi, causing her expression to change. She swung her sword, parrying several sharp sword qi, and then leaped back into the air to narrowly dodge the remaining powerful sword qi, piercing several planks on the arena and creating large holes...
The cameraman, who was filming the scene, captured this moment, causing the ordinary netizens in the live stream to exclaim, "My grandma, this is definitely fake..."
"I never thought that these people from traditional martial arts sects would fake it in this martial arts live broadcast and use special effects..."
"If I knew it was fake, I wouldn't have watched it. It's a complete waste of data..."
Many netizens who didn't understand the situation cursed and said it was special effects and left directly.
"This is not special effects, this is internal energy projection, which can achieve the effect of attacking from a distance!"
Disciples from various sects also entered the live stream and explained the situation to the netizens.
But ordinary people couldn't believe any of this. They all thought these scammers were using special effects to trick everyone into watching and giving gifts...
On the arena, Zhou Ruoxi narrowly avoided He Yunxia's powerful sword qi, but the sleeve of her left arm was torn by a streak of sword qi. Zhou Ruoxi's eyebrows furrowed, and her autumn eyes gazed directly at the panting He Yunxia on the stage. She couldn't help but ask, "Is this the sword technique created by your Shenjian Sect?"
"That's right."
He Yunxia replied, "My move 'Sweeping Across a Thousand Armies' is just one move from the 'Dominating Secret Sword Technique' created by our Shenjian Sect's founding patriarch. It's a pity my cultivation is not enough. Otherwise, if it were my senior brother Jianfeng, you would already be lying on the ground waiting to be collected."
"Dominating Secret Sword Technique..."
The sect leaders and clan masters from the major sects below, such as Renxin Fuzhang, also witnessed He Yunxia unleash a move from the Dominating Secret Sword Technique, "Sweeping Across a Thousand Armies." They were indeed very impressed and felt a sense of shock.
"The Dominating Secret Sword Technique emphasizes the word 'domination'!"
Yan Changjian, sitting next to Wan Yunting, raised his head and proudly recounted how his father created the Dominating Secret Sword Technique, saying with pride, "The moves are domineering, and the sword qi must be even more domineering."
Wan Yunting nodded beside him. He could tell that the Dominating Secret Sword Technique belonged to a path of strong and overbearing power, which was similar to the powerful and overbearing sword technique he practiced, the Wuji Tiangang Sword Technique.
"Of course, this Dominating Secret Sword Technique is not our Shenjian Sect's signature sword technique!"
Yan Changjian turned his head and gave a dismissive glance at Wan Yunting and Liu Bing and other sect leaders, sneering.
These words shocked Lu Chenzi, Shi Yizhen, and others. They had to admit that Yan Changjian's father, Yan Donghai, the founder of the Shenjian Sect, was a peerless sword master of the current era. The Dominating Secret Sword Technique alone had already amazed everyone, and yet Yan Changjian said that this was not the strongest sword technique.
What was the Shenjian Sect's strongest sword technique?
This indeed made people anticipate it...
"Unfortunately, you are still not my match!"
On the arena, Zhou Ruoxi's pretty face was cold. Her sharp autumn eyes gazed directly at He Yunxia, and she said coldly, "Unfortunately, you are still not my match!" She raised her sword in her right hand and leaped into the air, thrusting her sword forward. She unleashed a move from the Emei Sect's supreme sword techniques, "Peerless Grace." The invisible sword qi seemed to transform into countless swords, attacking He Yunxia...
This caused He Yunxia's expression to change drastically. Without hesitation, she flew backward. She was completely unable to resist Zhou Ruoxi's move. She landed below the arena in a disheveled state. However, she still let out a muffled groan of pain. A sword qi had grazed her right shoulder. kanδん
Jianfeng and Meng Yan, along with others, quickly rushed to help He Yunxia. Seeing that her wound was not serious, Meng Yan glared furiously at Zhou Ruoxi on the arena and cursed, "You bitch, don't let me encounter you in the next round, or I'll make you kneel and beg for mercy!"
On the stage, Zhou Ruoxi's autumn eyes were cold. She looked down at Meng Yan and other Shenjian Sect disciples below, ignoring their words completely. She turned and moved to the center of the arena. After the referee and the judges' seats deliberated, they announced, "Sect Leader Zhou of the Emei Sect wins..."
"Sect Leader Senior Sister, mighty..."
Jiang Tingxia and other senior brothers and sisters from the Emei Sect excitedly greeted Zhou Ruoxi as she came down.
"Sect Leader Zhou is amazing..."
Liu Bing, Lu Chenzi, and other sect leaders all applauded and congratulated her. Zhou Ruoxi smiled faintly and nodded slightly at them before returning to Wan Yunting's side to sit down, placing her long sword beside her. Wan Yunting looked at the torn cuff of her left sleeve and asked, "Are you injured?"
"No."
Zhou Ruoxi shook her head and smiled.
Wan Yunting smiled gently and nodded, relieved.
Yan Changjian beside him snorted. Seeing Meng Yan helping He Yunxia back, he waved his hand impatiently, signaling Meng Yan to take her down for bandaging.
In such martial arts competitions, swords and blades have no eyes. Injuries are inevitable. Of course, it is also important to stop at the right moment to prevent either party from losing control and resorting to deadly blows...
