The blade gleamed, air crackled, as if Mount Tai were pressing down.
It carried an irresistible momentum!
The blade hadn't even arrived, yet the ground was already cracking with dense, spiderweb-like fissures!
What?!
Qin Lang Yu's expression changed instantly!
What kind of sword technique is that?!
How could it be so powerful, completely surpassing his axe technique?!
"Damn it!"
Qin Lang Yu roared!
To be defeated by Luo Mu without even using a sword move would be too embarrassing!
He had to at least last a few moves!
However, while the thought was beautiful, the reality was harsh.
The gap in power between the martial arts techniques had already decided everything.
Boom!
The arena shook, dust billowing.
When the dust settled.
Qin Lang Yu was lying on the ground, looking pitiful, but he had only suffered minor injuries. He was merely knocked unconscious.
Whew!
In an instant, the entire arena erupted in a frenzy.
"My heavens, did I see wrong? Senior Brother Luo actually defeated Qin Lang Yu without even using a sword move, and he did it in one move!"
Someone gasped.
They couldn't believe it.
Initially, when Luo Mu stepped onto the stage, not many held out hope. After all, his opponent's cultivation was far too high.
Then, Luo Mu revealed his Spirit Sea Realm third stage cultivation.
But they never expected him to win without even needing to use a sword move.
One move to victory!
"That's the 'Life-Ending Blade Sutra' right?"
"Amongst the Xuan-Rank Middle-Grade martial arts, it's the most top-tier one!"
Someone suddenly recognized Luo Mu's blade technique.
"Correct, and Senior Brother Luo has mastered it to perfection!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately understood.
Although Qin Lang Yu's 'Divine Mountain Axe Technique' was also Xuan-Rank Middle-Grade, it was still significantly inferior to the 'Life-Ending Blade Sutra'.
No wonder he could win with one move!
"I never thought Senior Brother Luo would be practicing the 'Life-Ending Blade Sutra'. It's a very difficult technique to master, and it requires training in slaughter. Over time, it can affect one's mind, so very few are willing to cultivate it."
"But once mastered, its power is terrifying, not inferior to ordinary Xuan-Rank Upper-Grade techniques!"
A familiar person explained.
"I see."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Then they all got excited again.
Luo Mu was now at Spirit Sea Realm third stage, and he also mastered sword moves and the 'Life-Ending Blade Sutra'. Such a warrior, not to mention the top hundred.
Even the top fifty would be no problem!
"Senior Brother Luo is mighty!"
In the Academy, strength is the ultimate respect. When you're strong enough, people naturally call you 'Senior Brother'.
This battle today truly made the Outer Palace proud.
Previously, in the battles between the Outer and Inner Palaces, the Outer Palace usually lost.
"Hahaha, he couldn't even last a single move!"
"Seems like your Inner Palace geniuses aren't that good after all!"
Wang San Jiu stroked his white beard and laughed loudly.
Not far away.
Zhang Xuan's face had turned grim.
Although he knew they couldn't win, at least he could've lasted a few moves!
And the other party didn't even use any sword moves.
"Don't celebrate too early!"
"My Inner Palace's true monsters haven't made their move yet!"
"It's just a Martial Dao momentum, as if it's something special!"
Zhang Xuan said coldly.
"Hehe."
Wang San Jiu didn't listen.
This was a rare opportunity to gloat, how could he miss it.
At the same time, he was also shocked.
How long has it been since Luo Mu obtained the 'Life-Ending Blade Sutra', and he's already mastered it to perfection.
What he didn't know was that Luo Mu not only mastered it, but he also pushed the 'Life-Ending Blade Sutra' to Xuan-Rank Upper-Grade!
He just used a hundred blade energies.
That was consistent with the middle-grade level.
"This guy has gotten even stronger."
The Ninth Prince smirked.
With such an outrageous cultivation speed, coupled with that terrifying comprehension ability.
It was unimaginable how far he could go in the future.
The Grand Elder beside him didn't feel much.
Because he was in seclusion all year round, this was the first time he saw Luo Mu.
He only thought that that blade just now was pretty good.
"So he's Luo Mu!"
Amongst the disciples waiting to enter the arena, one person's face lit up with a smile.
It was Xie Yun Bai, the one who had locked eyes with Luo Mu in the Academy's back mountain!
After returning, he had tried every means to investigate.
But because there was so little information, he couldn't find anything.
He had thought it might be Luo Mu.
But in everyone's perception at that time, Luo Mu was still in True Aperture Realm, completely incompatible.
Who would have thought, it actually was him!
——
On the stage.
Luo Mu ignored the unconscious Qin Lang Yu.
He sheathed his blade.
He turned and left.
His movements were smooth as flowing water.
He was still eager to watch other people's battles.
But just as he stepped out, he felt a sharp gaze fall upon him.
He subconsciously looked over.
He saw not far away.
A young man with a sword on his back, staring at him.
His brown eyes were filled with scrutiny.
Luo Mu didn't think much of it and looked away. Knowing that watching battles also had its rewards, he didn't want to waste any battles now.
Nothing was more important than 'watching battles'!
After all, the Grand Ceremony was only held once every three years. There weren't so many battles to watch on a normal day.
"What, starting to be cautious?"
Huang Yun Tian smirked.
"It's just the 'Life-Ending Blade Sutra'."
Li Jian Yi withdrew his gaze and said nonchalantly.
"That's right, the 'Life-Ending Blade Sutra', no matter how strong, is still just Xuan-Rank Middle-Grade. We practice Upper-Grade techniques."
Huang Yun Tian folded his arms. "With his current level, he's at best in the top forty."
The Inner Palace currently had 37 disciples who had awakened Martial Dao momentum.
Unless this person's Martial Dao momentum also improved, he wouldn't be much of a threat.
"Looks like in this Grand Ceremony, only I am qualified to be your opponent."
Huang Yun Tian said.
"Perhaps."
Li Jian Yi's eyes were calm.
His father and some elders in the family were watching from above, he had to remain undefeated.
Only then could his father's lineage return to the true core of the family.
Head of the Family.
Sounds nice.
But he's just someone who does odd jobs.
