Chapter 51

Fast! Extremely fast!

Luo Yi's footwork reached an incredible level, and in an instant, he was in front of Lin Xuan.

The disciples in the stands were in an uproar. Most of them didn't see Luo Yi's movements clearly, but this didn't stop them from supporting him.

"Hmm? His footwork has improved even more!" In the rest area, Duan Fei looked at Luo Yi on the stage and whispered with a smile.

"Luo Yi's agility is probably unmatched by few besides Duan Fei!" Hua Yangping said solemnly beside him.

"Hmph!" Yan Kong's face was dark. He disliked both people on the stage. "Best if they both get hurt!"

Silent and swift, he arrived in an instant.

Luo Yi's cultivation had reached the Sixth Rank of the Condensation Pulse stage, and the advanced Yellow Rank martial art, the Wind Step, had been perfected by him. In terms of footwork, he truly feared no one except Duan Fei!

"Smokeless Wave Sword!"

The sword emerged silently, like a hanging antelope horn, leaving no trace.

In the air, there was no sign of the long sword, only a web of sword qi spreading out, enveloping Lin Xuan.

What terrifying sword technique!

This sword technique far surpassed that of ordinary Sixth Rank Condensation Pulse disciples. The Combat Group indeed produced many elites.

The overwhelming sword qi cut the ground around Lin Xuan into countless fragments, a sight that was shocking. The place where Lin Xuan could stand was getting smaller and smaller, and he was about to be injured by the sword qi.

At this moment, Lin Xuan moved.

The Red Flame Great Sword swept horizontally, drawing a full moon in front of him.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The crisscrossing sword qi collided with the sword body, sparking and breaking the sword web. At the same time, the shadow of a giant mountain appeared faintly on the Red Flame Great Sword.

"Lonely Mountain Sword Technique!"

Lin Xuan's sword strike was like a mountain pressing down, shaking the surrounding void. The sword web in the air was crushed into pieces, finally shattering into fragments.

Whoosh!

Luo Yi didn't expect Lin Xuan's sword technique to be so powerful and could only retreat hastily. He also knew that he had met his match this time.

"Mountain-like Sword Shadows! This is sword momentum! He actually condensed sword momentum!" At this moment, everyone looked at Lin Xuan in surprise. No one could have imagined that a disciple ranked so low could display sword momentum.

"Damn, how can this guy be so strong!" Yan Kong's face was terrifyingly dark, and Hua Yangping beside him was silent.

Even Jiang Yulong and others looked at Lin Xuan with a hint of surprise. Duan Fei and the others were fine, but Jiang Yulong's eyes were icy cold.

"Good kid, I didn't expect you to grow so fast! Just right, I'll settle the score with you on the stage and let you know that even if you condense sword momentum, you're still trash!"

On the golden stands, the elder-level figures were also slightly surprised. Elder Fang smiled and stroked his beard, as if he had known all along.

Sword momentum is a kind of aura displayed when sword techniques reach a certain profound level, with immense power. To display sword momentum, one must at least have reached the Perfect stage in sword techniques.

Clearly, Lin Xuan's Lonely Mountain Sword Technique had long reached the Perfect stage.

A thick sword qi slashed out, cutting a deep gully in the ground. Luo Yi, relying on his outstanding footwork, continuously moved around the stage.

"Smokeless Wave Sword!"

The sword light was like ripples, dazzling. The spiritual energy in the air fluctuated violently, surging towards Lin Xuan like a tide.

Lin Xuan was very calm. He was unhurried, and the dark red great sword had a faint, ethereal image of a mountain. Each strike carried the weight of ten thousand pounds. He didn't take the initiative to attack but instead adopted a defensive posture, blocking Luo Yi's sword techniques one by one.

On the stage, dazzling sword light and deafening explosions filled the air.

Luo Yi's sword technique became more and more fluid, reaching an unparalleled level. He had never brought the Smokeless Wave Sword to such a perfect realm, with the sword techniques floating and leaving no trace.

Each move was ethereal and lively, and he was completely immersed in the sword technique, unable to extricate himself. He had stayed at the Great Success stage for a long time but had been unable to break through. Now, the stubborn bottleneck had loosened slightly.

At this moment, if he were hit or if Lin Xuan were hit by him, this wonderful state would be interrupted, and Luo Yi would lose a chance to break through.

However, despite so many sword strikes, not a single one injured Lin Xuan, all of them were blocked. Moreover, Lin Xuan's moves clearly facilitated Luo Yi's sword techniques, allowing them to proceed smoothly.

One attack, one defense, the attack was fierce and dazzling, and the defense was watertight and as solid as a mountain.

The disciples in the stands were momentarily captivated.

Such a thorough battle was something they rarely saw. Each move contained wondrous changes, and many disciples had joyful expressions, as if they had gained some insight.

However, many disciples couldn't understand the situation on the stage, and some members of the Combat Group were dancing with joy.

"Senior Brother Luo is amazing, leaving the opponent with no chance to counterattack!"

"Senior Brother Luo, keep it up, defeat him in one go!"

Just as the Combat Group disciples were cheering, the situation on the stage changed.

With a loud boom, the long sword in Luo Yi's hand glowed brightly, almost covering half the stage, and continuous sword whistles sounded.

"Senior Brother Luo is about to use his ultimate move!" Some Combat Group disciples who didn't know the truth shouted.

A sword strike emerged, and the sky was filled with cold light, like the reflection of a cold pond in autumn, bone-chilling.

On Luo Yi's long sword, something special seemed to have condensed, making its power more than double.

"Sword momentum, it's sword momentum again!"

The participating disciples were all shocked: "How can Luo Yi have sword momentum? Has his sword technique reached the Perfect stage?"

Only a few outstanding disciples knew what had just happened, such as the top ten disciples and the elder judges.

"Damn, Lin Xuan actually helped Luo Yi break through his realm. Why is he so kind?" Yan Kong's teeth were almost grinding to pieces.

Jiang Yulong's face was also unpleasant. Not only had Lin Xuan's strength exceeded his expectations again, but the Combat Group had gained a strong opponent. How could he be happy?

On the contrary, Duan Fei was smiling, in a great mood. Even the fairy-like Shen Qian'er glanced at Lin Xuan a few more times, seemingly very interested in him.

After the dazzling sword light disappeared, Luo Yi looked excited, almost wanting to howl to the sky. For a long time, his sword technique had not improved, but now it had broken through to the Perfect stage. How could he not be happy?

However, he knew that he owed everything to the young man across from him.

"Brother Lin, thank you! I, Luo Yi, will remember this favor!"

Lin Xuan smiled: "Your sword technique is very exquisite; breaking through was just a matter of time."

In fact, Lin Xuan didn't use his full strength but chose to help Luo Yi because he thought Luo Yi was a good person, not as arrogant as others.

Moreover, Luo Yi's footwork had once broadened his horizons. Helping him now was nothing much, and he could also feel the sword momentum brought by different sword techniques, gaining new insights.

"Once I fully understand the sword momentum, I will challenge you again!" Luo Yi said seriously, "The top ten disciples are all very strong, be careful!"

The bold young man laughed loudly and then jumped off the stage.

The judge was also impressed by Lin Xuan's demeanor. He had never seen anyone actively help their opponent break through. Just for this, Lin Xuan was worthy of special attention.

"Number 135, Lin Xuan, wins!"
