Chapter 140 First Victory
Chapter 140 First Victory
Beside the stadium.
Besides the contestants in the official competition, a number of extraordinary individuals had gathered around the ice floe platform; they had all come with the contestants.
There were quite a few highly respected individuals among them, and one person in particular attracted a lot of attention.
Tang Clan - Xu Xin.
One of the few survivors among the Thirty-Six Thieves also came to the Sword Testing Tournament today. Accompanying him were contestants selected by the Tang Clan and Ma Long, who also came as Xu Xin's bodyguard and assistant.
Ma Long looked at Ye Liuyun, who was fighting Hiruma in the arena, with a puzzled expression.
"Sect Leader Ye's methods seem..."
Before Ma Long could finish speaking, not only he, but also some other young superhumans felt that Ye Liuyun looked rather lacking.
As the leader of the Flowing Cloud Sword Sect, how could he fight Hiruma so fiercely, and how could he display such limited combat power?
Xu Xin tapped Ma Long on the head.
"Don't underestimate the heroes of the world! Sect Master Ye only wants to defeat his opponent as a swordsman. He hasn't even used the most powerful sword moves from the Flowing Cloud Sword."
Ma Long covered his head and hurriedly agreed. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Ma Long sensed a figure sneaking over. A flying needle was then stuck to the foot of the person.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Zhang Chulan quickly raised his hand and gave a French military salute.
"Don't lay a hand on me! We're on the same side! It's me, your godfather, Chu Lan!"
Xu Xin looked Zhang Chulan up and down. "What nonsense are you spouting, kid? How come I didn't know I had a godson?"
Zhang Chulan chuckled.
"Hehe, Grandpa, you don't know me, but I know you! My grandfather is Zhang Huaiyi, your sworn brother, so aren't you my grandpa? I saw you from afar and thought I had to come and pay my respects to you, Grandpa."
Xu Xin then remembered that Zhang Chulan was one of the people he had watched in the videos over the past few days.
Looking at the shameless Zhang Chulan in front of him, Xu Xin immediately thought of his sworn brother Zhang Huaiyi.
"Oh, so you're Huaiyi's grandson, right? What are you doing here all this way? I don't have any red envelopes for you."
Zhang Chulan moved closer to Xu Xin: "Look at what you're saying, Grandpa. I'm just here to pay my respects to you. Why would I ask you for anything?"
Seeing Zhang Chulan shamelessly sticking up to him, Xu Xin couldn't figure out what he wanted for a moment. He glanced at the empty space behind Zhang Chulan.
"Why did you come alone? Didn't the company assign someone to accompany you?"
Zhang Chulan pointed to Feng Baobao, who was still squatting on the ice and shaving ice in the crowd, and said, "I came with Sister Bao'er. Grandpa, did you see her? She's the girl squatting there. Her name is Feng Baobao."
After saying that, Zhang Chulan stared intently at Xu Xin's face out of the corner of his eye. He didn't know if Xu Xin knew Feng Baobao or not. He had sneaked over here to test Xu Xin.
Xu Xin glanced at it from afar.
"So this is the girl. Does the company have no one else? Why did they send her?"
"I didn't expect that my godfather had met Bao'er before?" Zhang Chulan's heart tightened, and he asked, pretending to be surprised.
Could it be that Xu Xin, like his grandfather and Zhou Sheng, had met Feng Baobao before?
Xu Xin glanced at Zhang Chulan: "Are you out of your mind? I've seen her before in the Pill Tomb. I saw her in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony video."
"Haha, I was confused!"
Zhang Chulan laughed heartily and scratched his head.
If Xu Xin wasn't pretending, then he genuinely didn't recognize Feng Baobao!
According to this logic, among the people who know Feng Baobao, only her grandfather Zhang Huaiyi and the elder Zhou Sheng have one thing in common: they are both comprehenders of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques and participated in Wugensheng's second gathering.
It seems that the only way to find out Bao'er's secret is to start with the Eight Extraordinary Skills.
While Zhang Chulan was pondering, a gasp came from the crowd.
Looking in the direction of the sound, Zhang Chulan also saw the reason for everyone's exclamations.
The outcome of the match has been decided.
In the arena, Ye Liuyun's sword successfully reached Hirumaru's throat, while Hirumaru's sword was still some distance away from Ye Liuyun.
[“Congratulations to Flowing Cloud Sword - Ye Liuyun for winning the first match. Ye Liuyun, please wait on the sidelines for a moment. The reward will be distributed after the match.”]
After hearing Qin Le's voice broadcast, Ye Liuyun twirled his sword and then sheathed it.
Just as Ye Liuyun was about to encourage the young, talented swordsman in front of him, to his astonishment, the wounds on Hirumaru's body that had appeared during the recent match began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Hirumaru himself did not want to end the match. He had finally encountered a powerful swordsman, and he would not stop just because his life was threatened. Moreover, the puppet's body had not yet reached the point where it could not continue fighting.
Qin Le added the ability of rapid regeneration to the doll's body, so that even if the doll's body was smashed into pieces, it could recover in the blink of an eye.
Moreover, the puppet's stamina is also unlimited, and with rapid regeneration, the puppet basically possesses unlimited combat power.
However, Qin Le added a competition module to the puppet for this sword-testing tournament. When the module is activated, his regeneration ability will be suspended and his stamina limit will be restricted.
His ability to stop now is entirely due to a program that Qin Le had set up in advance.
The program determined that Hirumaru had lost, so it automatically stopped the battle and reactivated his locked regeneration ability to restore his damaged body.
Ye Liuyun didn't know why Hirumaru had this ability to heal injuries but hadn't used it just now, and Hirumaru, who was clearly out of breath, had also recovered all his energy in an instant.
The ordinary viewers in the live stream did not notice Hirumaru's strange changes, but the other supernatural beings present noticed the changes in Hirumaru's body immediately.
In the first few matches, Hirumaru won too easily.
Everyone thought that Hirumaru simply had a lot of stamina.
But now it seems that Hirumaru has a way to recover quickly?
Why didn't he use it during the competition?
Before the strange people could speculate too much, the next competition began.
"Liu Yun Sword - Lin Qiang, please step forward!"
With Ye Liuyun's nod of encouragement, Lin Qiang officially entered the competition venue.
Hirumaru, who was initially agitated by the interruption of the battle, lit up his eyes after hearing the name of Liuyun Sword, who came from the same sect as Ye Liuyun.
Lin Qiang looked at Hirumaru, who was full of fighting spirit, not far away, and a bitter smile flashed across his lips.
He didn't have the sect leader's powerful basic sword skills. Lin Qiang assumed a basic starting stance and looked at Hirumaru.
"I don't possess the sect leader's formidable swordsmanship, so I will employ some special techniques. Please be careful."
