Chapter 65

By observing the hilt and scabbard, Lin Beichen, with his shallow knowledge of swords, could tell that this was a rare and precious sword.

"This sword is forged from meteoric iron, with a blade length of three feet and three inches, and a weight of ten pounds and four ounces. It is named [Tai E]."

With the sword in hand, Shen Fei's demeanor changed dramatically. The originally unremarkable young man suddenly radiated a strong aura, like a rough stone that had undergone countless hammerings and chiseling, finally transforming into a dazzling diamond. It was as if he had become a different person.

"Damn!"

Lin Beichen, the Water Walker, sighed again.

Why does it feel like this guy is the real protagonist?

A top-tier genius with a spirit of resistance, enduring humiliation, and speaking up for the group?

This would be a perfect protagonist template in any story.

Lin Beichen casually drew the long sword from his waist, moving like a celestial maiden, with his cloak fluttering and his leather armor gleaming. He said casually, "This is a standard Yunmeng Guard long sword, made by Master Fan's Weapon Shop, ten silver coins each... Come on, let me see what special techniques your gang's swordsmanship has."

"Alright."

Shen Fei nodded, exerted force with his feet, and shot forward like a cannonball, covering twenty meters in an instant. In mid-air, with a clang, he thrust his long sword, releasing a dazzling streak of sword light.

What excellent swordsmanship!

Even Lin Beichen, the Water Walker, couldn't help but admire it in his heart.

Anyway, it's just better than him... huh?

Such a leap, such a sword light... he... uh, he could probably do it too?

Lin Beichen pondered for a moment. If he unleashed all his mystic energy and combined it with the power of [Phaseless Sword Bone], he should be able to do it too?

He would try it later.

He also realized that his biggest problem now was having a high cultivation level but lacking combat techniques and experience, making it difficult to fully utilize his abilities.

"Maybe I need to practice more... huh? No, I can just overwhelm them with my cultivation. Why bother accumulating experience? Cultivation is tiring, I must be out of my mind."

Lin Beichen's thoughts suddenly shifted back.

Clang, clang, clang, clang!

Continuous metallic clashes echoed in the air.

Shen Fei's figure moved like a butterfly, constantly changing position in the air. The [Tai E] sword in his hand seemed to be a shadow, emitting cold light, and striking like a storm.

Chen Lin stood on a rock, casually thrusting and blocking with the standard long sword in his hand.

Sparks flew where the swords met.

Their confrontation was swift and magnificent.

This was clearly a battle far beyond the level of second-year students.

Moreover, both were using Star-Entry sword techniques.

The genius students from various academies were all captivated by this thrilling duel, watching intently, hoping to gain some inspiration.

A good opportunity.

Lin Beichen thought, lying on the water, using his buttocks to generate force, slowly drifting towards the forest where Yue Hongxiang was being guarded.

At this moment, everyone's attention was on the two geniuses, Chen Lin and Shen Fei, so no one was paying attention to Lin Beichen.

He drifted to the shore and suddenly exerted force.

The bull tendon rope snapped silently.

Whoosh!

He jumped out of the water.

His posture was like a frog leaping.

Although it was ugly, it was very effective.

The four female students hadn't reacted yet when Yue Hongxiang was already dragged out of the encirclement by Lin Beichen.

At the same time, Lin Beichen slapped Wu Xiaofang, knocking him unconscious, and took back his 'Moral Sword'.

With the sword in hand, the world was his.

"Yue, are you okay?"

Lin Beichen asked.

Yue Hongxiang, looking rather disheveled with her hair in disarray, but still relatively calm, shook off the sand and said, "Thank you, I'm fine."

"Capture them."

Tao Wancheng shouted.

The surrounding students immediately rushed towards Lin Beichen and Yue Hongxiang.

"Stand back."

Lin Beichen said to Yue Hongxiang, "Keep your distance to avoid being hit. I'm going to... no, I'm going to use virtue to win."

Whoosh!

The Moral Sword was drawn.

The sword light was like a bolt of lightning.

Pfft!

One down.

Pfft, pfft!

Two down.

Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft!

Eight or nine down...

At that moment, Lin Beichen seemed to have transformed into a sword immortal, striking down one after another. The students who rushed over only saw a flash and felt a sword strike their thighs, causing them to fall numbly.

The scene was quite terrifying.

The other students, seeing the situation, immediately retreated.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion echoed.

(To be continued, please turn the page)

On the other battlefield, the two top geniuses clashed again.

Shen Fei's figure retreated, performing a 360-degree backflip in the air and landing gracefully on the beach, staggering back three steps before stabilizing.

Chen Lin, who had been standing on the rock, swayed but remained firmly in place, instantly stabilizing.

"Capture them."

Shen Fei glanced at Lin Beichen and Yue Hongxiang and said, "Don't let them escape."

Tao Wancheng personally stepped in.

His injuries, after a short period of treatment, had improved significantly.

Clang!

The long sword was drawn.

"Lin Beichen, now you will know what true swordsmanship is."

The sword light flashed.

It thrust directly at Lin Beichen.

Lin Beichen focused and used the [Basic Sword Technique Close-Range Three-Strike].

Although these three strikes were part of the basic sword techniques, they were peak-level sword-breaking techniques. Lin Beichen, having cultivated them to the peak level, easily cut through Tao Wancheng's sword light, directly breaking the attack.

Clang, clang, clang!

Sparks flew.

"Huh?"

Tao Wancheng was greatly surprised and then sneered, "Let's see how many strikes you can take."

He used the Star-Entry sword technique [Meteor Chasing Lightning Sword].

Streaks of sword light, like meteors in the sky, flashed with tails of light, sweeping towards Lin Beichen.

"This guy's swordsmanship far exceeds Mu Xinyue's."

Lin Beichen felt immense pressure.

He used the three strikes to counter, but gradually found it difficult to hold back.

If it were the Lin Beichen from the mid-year tournament final, he would have been defeated by now.

However, over the past ten days, his [Phaseless Sword Body] app had been running, significantly enhancing his physical strength and reaction speed, pushing the three strikes to a new level. Additionally, the [Spiritual Power Initial Understanding] app had improved his spiritual power, even though he didn't know how to control it, it enhanced his vision and perception in battle.

These silent improvements greatly boosted Lin Beichen's combat power.

Clang, clang, clang!

The sword light collided, sparks flying.

Tao Wancheng, halfway through his 36-move Star-Entry technique [Meteor Chasing Lightning Sword], was both surprised and angry that he couldn't bring Lin Beichen down. He increased his sword speed, fully unleashing his seventh-level mystic energy cultivation, and said fiercely, "A mere insect trying to stop a cart? Today, I will defeat you."
