Ch349 - The Ring Match

Three days later, the Sect’s Arena Area

Today was the day when Jiang Xu and Huang Jie would compete in the ring. Early in the morning, Huang Shi’an ordered the disciples in the Arena Area to clean up the No. 9 ring that Jiang Xu had reserved in advance.

Looking at his Son who was dressed in Sect’s uniform, holding his sword, and sitting silently on the chair, Huang Shi’an frowned. “XiaoJie, if you can’t beat him, you should jump off the stage. Don’t fight for the sake of your face and hurt yourself, you understand?”

“That’s right, dear Grandson, if you can’t beat him, we’ll admit defeat. There’s no need to fight Jiang Xu till the end.” Li Ruyue said the same thing. She didn’t want her precious Grandson to get hurt because of that bitch Huang Shanshan.

“Grandma, Father, you two, don’t worry, I know it well.” Nodding, Huang Jie said yes, but he was thinking about another incident.

Huang Jie had the strength of nine stars in the Spiritual Profound Realm, he was the Eldest Disciple of the Sixteenth Elder, and he was also the core disciple of the sect. Among the sects, he was also the number one figure who could be said to be ranked first in the Arena Area. He had heard of Jiang Xu’s name for a long time, and he had also heard that Jiang Xu’s star swordsmanship was very good. Moreover, Jiang Xu also had a quirk, that was, he liked to find someone who was stronger than him to fight with him.

Jiang Xu once worshiped under the First Elder of the Sect, therefore, the opponents he challenged were basically the disciples of the First Elder. Sometimes they fought secretly in the sword training room, and sometimes they fought openly in the ring area, no matter whether it was a secret fight or an open fight, any sword cultivator who was willing to fight with Jiang Xu could get some pills. Because Jiang Xu’s pills were relatively generous, many high-strength sword cultivators were willing to fight Jiang Xu.

Today, it was rare to have the opportunity to exchange pointers with such a formidable opponent. In fact, Huang Jie was very excited and looking forward to it. Elder Qin was the Supreme Elder. Elder Qin’s seventy-two star swordsmanship has always been a set of swordsmanship that many sword cultivators dream of. He heard that he was inspired by Jiang Xu’s eighty-one star power; Elder Qin’s star swordsmanship has changed from seventy-two to eighty-one. Today, he must take a good look at the power of the eighty-one star swordsmanship. He must have a good fight with Jiang Xu.

As a swordsman, Huang Jie, like Jiang Xu, liked to compete. Especially when meeting an opponent who was likely to be stronger than yourself, you will be more excited and want to learn about the opponent’s brilliant moves. Therefore, Huang Jie had already ignored the words of his Father and Grandma, and he had already made up his mind to have a good fight with Jiang Xu.

Zhou Wen, Ouyang Hao and Xu Jing came together. They were now cultivators in the Spiritual King Realm, and they were also now inner-door disciples of the sect. Zhou Wen and Ouyang Hao were disciples of Elder Qian in the Trading Area, and Xu Jing was a disciple of Elder Han in the Library Pavilion. Although they were both inner-door disciples of the sect, they were not the disciples of the Eighteen Peak Masters.

“There are quite a lot of people here.” Looking at the cultivators on the inner three floors and the outer three floors outside the No. 9 ring, Zhou Wen smiled and said to himself:This scene is really grand enough.

“Of course, Senior Brother Jiang is a celebrity in the sect now and he openly challenged Senior Brother Huang, of course everyone has to come and watch the fun.” At this point, Ouyang Hao looked envious. At that time, although the two brothers Ouyang Zhe and Ouyang Hao had washed their spiritual roots, the Eldest Son Ouyang Zhe stayed in the Lingwu Continent to succeed his Father as Sect Master of the Lingwu Sect. As the second son, Ouyang Hao followed everyone to the Zunhuang Continent. After two hundred years of being an outer disciple in the Zunhuang Continent, he finally reached the Spiritual King Realm and became an inner disciple.

“Oh, thinking back then, thirty-eight of us came from the Lingwu Continent to Zunhuang Continent together. As a result, when we arrived at the Sect, twenty were assigned to the Mining Area. After more than three hundred years, I think they have all fallen. The rest of us, most of the eighteen people, died. Now there are only the three of us, two Senior Sisters Ji, Senior Brother Liu, Senior Brother Jiang and Senior Brother Yang.” Having said this, Xu Jing was filled with emotion.

Xu Jing was the son of the City Lord of the Crafting City. Back then, his Father was lucky enough to buy a place for washing spiritual roots at an auction, so he changed from double spiritual roots to a single spiritual root and followed Liu Mufeng and the others to the Zunhuang Continent. If Liu Mufeng hadn’t washed his spiritual roots for him, maybe he would have died of old age in the Lingwu Continent by now.

“Yeah, there are only eight of us left. However, the two Senior Sisters have already worshiped under the Tenth Elder. Senior Brother Liu is the favorite disciple of the Third Elder and the core disciple of the sect. Senior Brother Yang is also the proud disciple under the Fifth Elder. Not to mention Senior Brother Jiang, he is the Sect Master’s closed-door disciple, and his status is even more lofty. In that manner, the three of us are the worst.” Zhou Wen smiled wryly. In fact, Zhou Wen was a heavenly root cultivator, a natural single spiritual root cultivator, with good cultivation aptitude and talent, but lacked some luck and opportunities, so his cultivation speed was not faster than that of the Ji Sisters, Ouyang Hao, and Xu Jing.

“That’s right, we’re the worst.” Liu Mufeng, Yang Yong, and Jiang Xu were already cultivators in the Spiritual King Realm when they left the Lingwu Sect in Lingwu Continent, and they couldn’t compare these three people. Sisters Ji Furong and Ji Haitang were women, and both of them had found a big backer for themselves and married the powerful core disciples in the sect. Although she was only a concubine, she also got a lot of training resources because of this. She advanced to the Spiritual King Realm before the three of them, and she was already their Senior Sister. So after all the calculations, their situations were really the worst.

Hearing what the two said, Xu Jing smiled wryly. Yes, they were really the worst.

Jiang Xu was the Sect Master’s closed-door disciple, and he suddenly realized the power of eighty-one star maps, and his set of star swordsmanship was superb. In the sect, he was a big figure who was known to everyone. Huang Jie was the Grandson of the Seventh Elder. His Grandfather, Grandmother, and Father were all Elders in the sect. Moreover, Huang Jie himself was the Eldest Disciple of the Sixteenth Elder, and the core disciple of the sect, so he was naturally well-known. Two celebrities competed in swordsmanship, how could the cultivators of the sect not join in?

Since the early morning light, there had been cultivators in twos and threes coming to the No. 9 ring to occupy seats and more and more people gathered as the day went on. Two hours later, when Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu arrived at the scene, the Arena Area was already completely surrounded. Initially, the two of them wanted to go in quietly. But no, there were too many people to squeeze in, so Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu had no choice but to fly into the ring area from above the heads of the crowd.

Flying directly onto the ring, Jiang Xu stood on the East side of the ring, dressed in white, holding his magic sword in his hand.

“Senior Brother Jiang, Senior Brother Jiang, Senior Brother Jiang!” Seeing the handsome Jiang Xu appearing on stage, the disciples under the ring erupted and cheered loudly.

Huang Jie, who was dressed in the Sect’s uniform, also flew onto the ring with his sword in his hand and stood on the West side of the ring, facing Jiang Xu across the ring.

“Senior Brother Huang, Senior Brother Huang…” The cultivators who supported Huang Jie immediately cheered from the audience.

“Jiang Xu!” Jiang Xu, looking at his opponent, bowed his head and announced his name.

“Huang Jie!” Huang Jie also announced his name, bowed his head and saluted.

After the names were announced, the two drew out their swords almost at the same time, and attacked each other.

“Hei!” Knowing that Jiang Xu was a difficult opponent, Huang Jie didn’t hold back at all, and came up with a big move.

Similarly, Jiang Xu also understood that the opponent in front of him was not weak, so Jiang Xu didn’t hold back, and used all his strength. The strength of the nine stars in the Spiritual Profound Realm was also directly exposed.

When Huang Jie found out that his opponent was not a seven-star, but a nine-star Spiritual Profound Realm cultivator, he couldn’t help but twitch his lips, feeling extremely excited. It turned out that Jiang Xu actually hid his strength, which was very interesting. It was really a great joy in life to fight with an opponent of the same strength.

Standing below the ring, Liu Mufeng stared at his partner intently. He knew thatXiaoXu had brought out all his sword skills. Although, Huang Shanshan was married off by the Huang family three days ago and the Huang family no longer needed to be beaten, however,XiaoXu was a sword cultivator. Hearing that Huang Jie was the Eldest Disciple of the Sixteenth Elder, also a core disciple, and a nine-star cultivator in the Spiritual Profound Realm opponent, so, for today’s challenge,XiaoXu had been preparing for several days.

Jiang Xu and Huang Jie were inseparable as soon as they fought. The two fought from the ring to mid-air, and then returned to the ring from mid-air. However, Huang Jie had learned swordsmanship since he was a child. Over the years, his swordsmanship was also perfected. The two of them fought for more than two hundred rounds without being able to tell the winner.

“Wonderful, Senior Brother Jiang is indeed the Sect Master’s top apprentice.” Seeing the wonderful competition between the two on the stage, Zhou Wen applauded again and again.

“Yes, Brother Jiang’s swordsmanship is really good.” Nodding, Ouyang Hao also felt that Jiang Xu’s swordsmanship was very good.

“Both of them are well-known sword cultivators. I’m afraid it will be difficult to tell the winner in this competition.” Xu Jing said with a smile as he looked at the two who were fighting inextricably. Although Xu Jing’s Father was the lord of Crafting City, Xu Jing was not a Craftsman. He was also a swordsman like Zhou Wen and Ouyang Hao.

As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the way. As sword cultivators, the three of them saw the essence of Jiang Xu and Huang Jie’s swordsmanship more, rather than coming here to watch the excitement like other cultivators. Moreover, the three of them prepared the recording stone early, and watched the fight while recording it. They planned to watch it carefully when they get home after the recording was finished.
