Epic Of The Second Strongest Demonic Blade King - Chapter 197

“You, scaredy soul. I want to challenge you. Come forward right now and fight me!” The person said while the person that he pointed his sword out at, nodded his head and walked out of his group to appear before the person that called him out.

As soon as he appeared before his opponent, both of them immediately raised their swords into the air and swung it out towards each other using a particular sword-striking form that they were repetitively taught by Lin Bao, who at the moment deeply furrowed his brows at the way that the two disciples were sparring with one another.

…

Like that, members of a particular team began to fight the members of other teams, with the ones possessing more skills than the other winning the battle and preparing themselves to face the other teams that also won their own matches.

Not long, Xiao Lin walked out of his group to face the member of another group.

Then when he arrived before the heap of practicing swords that were placed on the ground by Lin Bao, he began to go through them to see or know the one that will best suit him.

However, after running his hands through the swords with none of them appealing to his mind or consciousness, he just picked one and went forward to stand before his opponent.

The moment he appeared before his opponent and bowed, his opponent who ignored Xiao Lin’s greetings, immediately slashed out with the practicing sword that he clasped at him, seeking to end the battle before it could even start.

While Xiao Lin who was always aware of his surroundings and could sense the whistling sound of the sword as it cut through the air really fast towards him using his enhanced, powerful hearing, he immediately, fluidly entered into a crouch position from his bowing position and instantly turned around while in that position, powerfully swinging his leg out with a lot of force to sweep his opponent off his feet to the floor.

Swoosh!

The leg that he swung out wasn’t able to sweep his opponent to the floor because his opponent immediately jumped high into the air to evade Xiao Lin’s sweeping leg once he could think what he was about to do.

Then when he landed back to the ground, Xiao Lin immediately exited his crouching position and instantly dashed towards his opponent to slash out with his sword at him.

Bang!

The moment he slashed out at his opponent using the striking style that Lin Bao taught them, it was abruptly blocked by his opponent using the sword-blocking form that Lin Bao also taught them.

He then immediately pulled away from Xiao Lin’s presence since the invisible aura emitting from Xiao Lin’s body gave him the illusionary feeling that he was fighting someone who had slaughter thousands of people for their bodies and souls.

‘What’s with this guy?’ Xiao Lin’s opponent asked inwardly.

Although he looked unfazed on the outside, his mind was however roiling within, and this was because anytime Xiao Lin approached him, he could sense an intent to devour all things in his path emanate unceasingly from his body.

‘Well, I just have to win this match no matter what. I can’t let my group down simply because of one guy that has a body that emits a deep baleful aura.’ Xiao Lin’s opponent said further within himself.

Swoosh!

He suddenly dashed towards Xiao Lin to hit him with the practicing sword that he wielded.

However, before he could get to where Xiao Lin was, Xiao Lin unexpectedly disappeared. It was like he had teleported away from their presence since no one could detect a ray of light or any sort of after-image appear when Xiao Lin suddenly vanished off from their presence.

“Looking for me?” Xiao Lin’s voice suddenly rang out from behind his opponent.

“What?” His opponent said out loud with unbridled shock in his face.

Then before he could turn around to slash out with his sword at Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin who had already gained the biggest advantage in their sparring battle, only used the tip of the sword that he wielded to hit his opponent at his upper back. And as soon as he did that, he said with a serious, unquestionable tone, “Stop. You have lost already!”

Once he said that, his opponent unhappily uttered “Ugh!”

He then dropped the sword that he wielded onto the floor and prepared to walk away.

However, before he could do so, the leader of the group that he was in, suddenly said out loud with unconstrained fury in his tone, “Senior Eight Flashing Swords, we wouldn’t take this as defeat! This guy cheated. I believe you saw him use a movement skill that was powered by circulation of his Spiritual Energy. And you said that no one should use Spiritual Energy in this battle, or their group will be immediately disqualified. This guy has obstinately done so and should have his group quickly eliminated from the rest of the matches!”

“Oh, and who are you to give me instructions on what to do?” Lin Bao suddenly asked with a calm but serious expression in his face.

Immediately Lin Bao said that, the person that spoke quickly fell on his knees and said with a sincere apologetic tone in his voice, “I am sorry, senior Eight Flashing Swords. It will never happen again”

“Good!” Lin Bao said and then turned his head to look at everyone, both the groups that have lost and the ones still in the game.

“Although it’s true that I said that no one should use Spiritual Energy in this fight against their opponents. However, I never said that you shouldn’t use it to power whatever Movement Skill or Technique that you have. And if you correctly recall what I said, what I said was that none of you should unleash attacks at your opponent using Spiritual Energy, as that will cause grievous harm to the body of your opponent since this is just a friendly sparring battle. Well, I guess you guys never fully analyzed what I said and use it to your advantage.”

Immediately Lin Bao said that, he looked at Xiao Lin and said, “He did so and therefore, should be able to use what I said and didn’t say to his advantage to win the fight against his opponent. Have you guys gotten it now?”

“Yes, senior Eight Flashing Swords” Everyone said with a nod of their head and began to look at Xiao Lin with a gaze that held inexplicable meanings.

“Good!” Lin Bao said.

He then continued with a serious look in his face, “However, our boy here didn’t even use Spiritual Energy that you guys accused him of using. He simply used what he had and what others wouldn’t probably have to overwhelmingly defeat his opponent and win. And what I meant by that is, he used his naturally strong and powerful muscular legs to achieve that teleportation-like movement speed that you saw him exhibit, meaning that he is a body cultivator as well as a Spiritual Energy cultivator. So, he never for once used the Spiritual Energy that he cultivates to power and harness whatever Movement Skill that he may possess.”

“Wow!” Everyone said out loud with deep amazement in their eyes as they looked at Xiao Lin who only shook his head and walked back to his group with the sword that he selected for his sparring battle.

“Alright. You guys should be done staring at him. So, next battle should immediately occur.” Lin Bao’s impatient voice suddenly rang out.

Immediately he said that, someone from a particular group and another from another group, quickly rushed out from their individual groups to face each other in battle.

Then because of what Lin Bao said, which was that he would tolerate the use of their Spiritual Energies to power and operate their Spiritual Movement Styles or Forms, slivers of Spiritual Energy began to move upward from within their dantians into their Spiritual Veins which then began to course about in their Spiritual Arteries. And immediately this occurred, Spiritual Auras immediately evolved from within their bodies, alerting everyone that currents of Spiritual Energy were in play.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

They immediately dashed out towards each other at immense speeds to fight themselves.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!…

Not long, numerous bang sounds began to ring out as they fought each other at high speeds, exchanging hundreds of strikes in a minute.

Bang!

One of the people fighting currently was immediately knocked out by a heavy punch to the nose by his opponent, causing him to fall to the ground with a heavy thud and immediately slipping into the unconscious state.

“Great! That was a really brilliant finish. I want to see more like that, more!” Lin Bao said with an excited expression in his face.

He then said further, “Take that guy off. He is lying on the battleground.. I don’t want anyone sleeping on the battlefield. Then the next group should come up immediately!”
