Chapter 190: A Figure Resembling Someone
Chapter 190: A Figure Resembling Someone
Waiting for four days was indeed a long time.
But Su Chen was able to accept it; when he had free time, he would cultivate in his room at the inn.
The gold and silver he carried was enough to live here for half a year.
When he had time to rest, Su Chen would order some dishes downstairs at the inn and listen to the casual conversations of the diners around him.
Regarding this world, what Su Chen was most curious about now was the strength of the top experts.
How powerful were the top experts here?
Were there any Fourth Stage Profound Realm experts?
Or perhaps there were even more formidable experts.
It was precisely because of this uncertainty that Su Chen's words and actions became increasingly cautious and careful.
Although his escape abilities were strong, if he encountered a Fourth Stage expert, it would likely be extremely dangerous.
After four days of cultivation, the improvement was indeed much better than when he was outside.
His physique and mental state had noticeably improved.
According to the agreed-upon time, Su Chen once again headed towards the Windriding Pavilion.
In front of the manor compound today, four arenas had been set up.
Below the arenas, there were nearly two hundred people gathered.
Su Chen had thought that waiting for four days was a long time, but in reality, many had waited for nearly a month.
"Today, the Windriding Pavilion is recruiting guards through arena battles.
Everyone only needs to participate in one arena battle, and there is no need to worry about the strength of your opponents.
If your opponent is too strong, we will give you another chance to compete.
Losing an arena battle does not mean you won't be selected.
The main thing is for everyone to demonstrate their abilities and let us see your strengths.
If you have any doubts, you can also come and ask me, Chi Xiaoyun.
Everyone can address me as Senior Apprentice Sister Xiaoyun."
At the end of the morning, this Chi Xiaoyun from the Windriding Pavilion walked onto one of the arenas and announced the selection rules.
Su Chen observed her appearance; she seemed to be in her thirties.
She was likely a young middle-level member of the Windriding Pavilion.
However, her attire resembled that of a young woman like Jin Yue.
After finishing her speech, Chi Xiaoyun stepped down from the arena and stood beside another woman.
She whispered something.
It seemed that the decision-making power was in the hands of the woman beside her.
On the arena, someone had already stepped up.
This recruitment of guards did not have age restrictions; as long as one had the skills and abilities, they were eligible.
So, when Su Chen looked around at the crowd, there were several people who appeared to be in their forties and above.
Su Chen's understanding of the cultivation realm in this world was still insufficient.
As the arenas were set up, Su Chen also prepared to observe.
Soon, all four arenas had martial artists stepping onto them.
On the four arenas, a total of eight people were engaging in mutual combat.
After a simple greeting, the eight individuals began to make their moves.
Their weapons varied, with blades, swords, and spears being the most commonly used.
Among them were some unique weapons, and Su Chen was also curious to see what kind of techniques they would display.
The spectators below had serious expressions, and they watched the arena battles with great focus.
Occasionally, Su Chen could hear people around him exchanging comments.
But when Su Chen saw the eight individuals making their moves, he couldn't help but frown.
Among them, only one had the strength of an Eighth Stage Novice, while the other seven were only at the Ninth Stage Perfect.
If they were recruiting young disciples, Su Chen could still understand.
After all, it would involve considering the disciples' potential and their future growth.
But for the Windriding Pavilion to recruit guards, why would they focus on potential?
In less than a quarter of an hour, the battles concluded.
"What's your name?"
"Chen Pinggui."
Upon hearing this name, Chi Xiaoyun nodded slightly, indicating for him to step behind her.
This Chen Pinggui was the Eighth Stage Novice martial artist that Su Chen had seen earlier.
Even the two at the Ninth Stage Perfect, Chi Xiaoyun surprisingly asked them to wait on the side.
Only eight others were arranged to follow after them.
From their appearances, it seemed that even an Eighth Stage Novice could satisfy Chi Xiaoyun and the woman beside her.
Next, eight more people stepped forward.
Su Chen took a look and realized that most of the martial artists who came to the arena were at the Ninth Stage.
Most of them were in the middle of the Ninth Stage, and the more exceptional ones had reached the Ninth Stage Perfect.
Those with the Eighth Stage Novice realm were extremely rare.
This outcome surprised Su Chen a little.
Were the martial artists in this region all of lower cultivation realms? Su Chen couldn't draw such a conclusion.
After all, those with true talent would mostly enter a sect directly.
Wasn't it better to become a disciple of the Windriding Pavilion directly instead of coming here to be a guard? Most of them had already taken the stage.
Among them, the strongest was the one who had exhibited the Eighth Stage Essence Refinement Novice realm at the beginning.
There were four others at the Eighth Stage Novice realm, but they seemed slightly inferior in strength.
These five disciples at the Eighth Stage Novice realm were all called by Chi Xiaoyun to wait behind her.
As expected, they were probably selected based solely on their cultivation realms.
When it was Su Chen's turn, he stepped onto the arena.
After the previous demonstration, Su Chen decided to suppress his cultivation realm to the Eighth Stage Novice realm.
Before he had a better understanding of this place, Su Chen wanted to keep some cards up his sleeve.
Moreover, if he stood out too much, these people might investigate his background.
That would indeed cause some trouble.
Holding a long blade, Su Chen executed the most ordinary technique from the Lin Family Blade Technique.
His strength at the Eighth Stage Novice realm was revealed.
His opponent was a middle-aged man at the Ninth Stage Perfect realm.
Feeling the pressure of the Eighth Stage, he seemed to have given up already.
But he still raised his spear to defend.
At this moment, as Su Chen made his move, several disciples of the Windriding Pavilion walked over to Chi Xiaoyun's side.
Like Chi Xiaoyun, their faces were filled with astonishment as they looked at the woman beside her.
"Senior Apprentice Sister Yueyao, don't you feel that when he uses the blade technique, his silhouette resembles someone?"
Chi Xiaoyun was bolder than the others, and the surrounding disciples didn't dare to ask.
They all waited for her to speak.
However, before Chi Xiaoyun could ask, Senior Apprentice Sister Yueyao had already thought of someone when she saw Su Chen's figure wielding the long blade.
"I don't feel he resembles anyone, and you shouldn't say it either." Senior Apprentice Sister Yueyao's face was cold, and she directly cut her off.
Upon hearing this response, Chi Xiaoyun pouted, clearly unconvinced.
"But I feel he's very similar to Senior Apprentice Brother Yin."
As the words 'Senior Apprentice Brother Yin' came out, the other disciples around them gasped.
Senior Apprentice Sister Yueyao's expression became even colder when these words were mentioned.
"Chi Xiaoyun, how many times do I have to emphasize this to you? That person is no longer your senior brother. If you can't remember, go to the confinement room to reflect and deepen your impression."
Seeing that Senior Apprentice Sister Yueyao was truly angry, Chi Xiaoyun stuck out her tongue, seemingly aware that she was wrong.
Although she was over thirty years old, she still acted like a young girl.
"Furthermore, this person's blade technique, even if he learned from Senior Apprentice Brother Yin, only resembles him superficially.
The momentum and power of his blade technique are far inferior.
I don't know where you see the similarity."
"Senior Apprentice Sister, we only feel that his silhouette is slightly similar.
When we see it, we can't help but think of Senior Apprentice Brother Yin."
Chi Xiaoyun replied softly, and this time, Senior Apprentice Sister Yueyao didn't scold her.
"Senior Apprentice Sister, do we want this person?"
"Of course. He has the strength of the Jade Flower Novice realm. Why wouldn't we want him?"
