Chapter 318: Situ Sanping Concedes, No Need for Further Battles
Chapter 318: Situ Sanping Concedes, No Need for Further Battles
In recent times, Yunyang Sect's reputation has indeed recovered significantly.
The claim that Tian Gang City used Su Chen to suppress Yunyang Sect has been believed by many major sects within the Great Zhou Dynasty.
However, for many ordinary families and common folk, it's a different story.
They don't buy into it as easily.
People tend to believe what they want to believe.
Ordinary families and commoners often have descendants who struggle to enter Yunyang Sect.
Or even if they join Yunyang Sect, they don't receive much attention.
Yunyang Sect fails to recognize the potential of its disciples, and they naturally prefer to believe the narrative of overlooking top talents.
In fact, the issue of Tian Gang City using Su Chen to suppress Yunyang Sect objectively exists.
After last year's assembly in the capital city, Yunyang Sect faced numerous criticisms.
But does this mean Su Chen's strength is fake?
Below the battle arena, neither Ouyang Chuan nor Gu Feng seemed overly worried.
Ouyang Chuan has witnessed Su Chen's growth step by step, and initially, he also doubted Su Chen.
Setting aside the issue of strength and potential, Ouyang Chuan didn't believe Su Chen had the ability to deal with demons.
But as time passed, he truly saw Su Chen's improvement and transformation.
In their discussions about martial arts, Su Chen's understanding was profound and thorough.
Gu Feng has also witnessed Su Chen's abilities, and he knows that Su Chen hasn't used any means to artificially enhance his strength.
However, many other sect members seem to have been influenced by the news spread by Yunyang Sect.
Gu Feng is a core disciple of Tian Gang City, and he can directly ask the elders if he wants to know something.
On the battle arena, Situ Sanping has already drawn his weapon, just like Su Chen.
They both use knives, but Situ Sanping's knife is a broad-bladed saber.
It's significantly different from the long knife Su Chen uses.
The broad blade drags on the ground, and the ground seems unable to bear its weight, slowly sinking under the pressure.
The highlight of today's midyear competition should be the confrontation between Su Chen and Situ Sanping.
This battle will once again prove something.
Below the battle arena, Sun Xuerong's face is cold and stern.
Although Situ Sanping speaks like that, in her eyes, she still believes he is colluding with Tian Gang City.
"Proving oneself is just an excuse.
Only by turning Linhai Mansion and Tian Gang City into opposing sides will onlookers believe his every move.
Only then can Tian Gang City and Su Chen be given a way out."
Sun Xuerong speaks, her gaze towards Situ Sanping and Linhai Mansion sharpens with a hint of ferocity.
Amid hesitation, Sun Xuerong stands up from the crowd.
"If I haven't guessed wrong, they will soon engage in battle.
It won't be a quick victory.
This Linhai Mansion's Celestial Prodigy, as expected, wants to use this opportunity to build momentum for Su Chen.
The battle may look like a back-and-forth exchange, but it's well-planned."
Sun Xuerong's words are loud, allowing many onlookers to hear clearly.
The battle is about to begin, and the surrounding spectators have quieted down, ready to watch intently.
It's already quiet, and Sun Xuerong's voice is loud, ensuring everyone present can hear clearly.
Sun Xuerong, an old hand from the sect, has various tricks up her sleeve.
The onlookers hear her words, and they will undoubtedly have more faith in Su Chen and Situ Sanping.
If the battle on the arena unfolds as Sun Xuerong predicts, the spectators and warriors will not fully trust Su Chen, but they will acknowledge his genuine abilities.
Sun Xuerong's move is to expose the schemes of Linhai Mansion and Tian Gang City.
Among the onlookers, those with a bit of wit understand her intentions.
These words are setting the stage for what's to come.
Most spectators rarely encounter such intrigue, so they don't have the mind to think deeply.
On the battle arena, Situ Sanping is not overly disturbed.
"Since Elder Sun says so, let's watch and see if I'm building momentum for him."
In an instant, Situ Sanping holds the broad-bladed saber.
Before the saber is swung, a mighty aura surges forth.
A disciple worthy of the title 'Celestial Prodigy' can't be that bad.
Compared to last year, Situ Sanping has become much more composed.
He is no longer as restless and arrogant as before.
Even with so many people present, Sun Xuerong speaks, but Situ Sanping remains unperturbed.
At this moment, he has only one thought—to defeat Su Chen without showing any weakness.
To completely refute the doubts cast upon himself and Linhai Mansion.
Compared to the previous battles, this is the real test.
The surrounding spectators already feel the oppressive aura.
If not for the warriors in front blocking it, ordinary people might be knocked unconscious by this oppressive aura.
The saber slashes down, and the powerful blade aura mixes with the momentum, surging towards Su Chen.
At the same time, Situ Sanping's saber rises again.
His Sixth Stage Mountain Furnace Initial Realm strength is fully displayed.
The elders of various sects can also sense that Situ Sanping is on the verge of breaking into the Sixth Stage Middle Realm.
He also has the opportunity to advance into the Sixth Stage Middle Realm!
Among the younger generation, reaching the Sixth Stage is already an exceptional achievement.
In the major sects, as long as a disciple can enter the Sixth Stage, they will generally earn the title of 'Celestial Prodigy.'
If Situ Sanping can step into the Middle Realm, he will join the ranks of the top Celestial Prodigies.
Facing the terrifying saber's might, Su Chen directly confronts it.
His figure is unmatched in its agility, and the long knife in his hand stabs from a tricky position.
The blades they wielded were similar, but the paths of their techniques were vastly different.
This wasn't their first encounter, and in the past half a year, Situ Sanping had thought countless times about how to counter Su Chen's moves.
As Su Chen made his move, a hint of a smile even curled up on his lips.
It was as if everything was going according to his calculations.
The wide-bladed broadsword was about to leave the ground, and with this movement, everything seemed to be within his plans.
The blade formation surged again, and it didn't take three moves, just two, to end this contest.
Xinxiong stepped onto the stage, his blade ready to pay respects.
The broadsword's ferocity was such that today, it would leave behind a shadow of Situ Sanping.
The broadsword in his hands seemed to be stuck, unable to be drawn.
Su Chen's longsword pressed down on the broad blade.
Su Chen even seemed to have a sense of leisure, not expending any effort to suppress him.
The calculations in his mind seemed to melt away in an instant.
His previously confident state of mind was now wavering.
He tightly gripped the hilt, finally managing to draw out the broadsword.
Looking at Situ Sanping, his teeth were clenched tightly.
As he drew out the broadsword, Situ Sanping stumbled, showing a hint of disarray.
Their initial exchange didn't go as Situ Sanping had envisioned.
The imagined suppression didn't materialize, and instead, he was clearly being suppressed during their exchange.
Even the onlookers who didn't quite understand could see his stumble.
The wielder of the broadsword, his figure, was actually unsteady.
For such a heavy weapon, the one holding it should have had a more stable stance.
Not far away, Sun Xuerong appeared again with a peculiar expression on her face.
"Are you letting us see if you're hyping him up, or is this not hyping him up?"
Hearing Sun Xuerong's words, the people from Linhai Mansion couldn't help but feel speechless, unable to refute her.
Situ Sanping's performance was indeed at a disadvantage.
The previous momentum was so strong, but it was suppressed by Su Chen.
What was this if not helping Su Chen?
Sun Xuerong's words fell, and Xie Tangzhu from Linhai Mansion held back for a while, but he couldn't hold it in any longer.
He couldn't help but speak up and question.
"Elder Sun, everyone can see Su Chen's performance. Does the strength he displayed resemble that of a disciple without ability? Saying he has reached the Sixth Stage might be inappropriate, but the strength he demonstrated, shouldn't he be at the Seventh Stage Perfected?"
Facing Xie Tangzhu's rebuttal, Sun Xuerong once again coldly hummed.
"Seventh Stage Perfected? If there are no surprises, this must be the use of some clever techniques and the addition of some elixirs, right? But this is just to make us believe that this person has truly been cultivated under Heaven's Spear City."
"With Situ Sanping's cooperation, this becomes even more convincing."
On the combat stage, Situ Sanping's face turned extremely ugly upon hearing these words.
"Elder Sun, put away your conspiracy theories of chasing shadows."
"I, Situ Sanping, have not lost, and I won't let him win again."
Leaving behind these two sentences, Situ Sanping once again waved the broadsword in his hand.
At this moment, a flush spread across his face.
It climbed from his neck, turning his entire face red.
The arm holding the broadsword had veins popping out.
The onlookers also became more serious.
"Linhai Mansion's Blood Qi Body Casting, Situ Sanping has already mastered it. However, isn't this a bit excessive?"
Some people near the First Prince couldn't help but speak up.
"Cultivation, techniques, and moves are all components of strength. Cultivation is the foundation of everything."
"If Su Chen's strength is raised by certain techniques and elixirs, then the foundation of this strength is like rotten wood. With just a slight touch, it will fall apart."
In Sun Xuerong's eyes, everything became Situ Sanping's cooperation with Su Chen's display.
On the combat stage, Situ Sanping held nothing back, and the wide-bladed broadsword returned.
On his face flushed with blood, it seemed even more intense than before.
The speed of his broadsword slashes seemed to have increased several times over.
The power of his blade formation had also improved significantly.
The previously intact combat stage now showed some damage.
Blood Qi Body Casting was a technique that exhausted one's physique.
Su Chen even tried to withstand Situ Sanping's blade slashes.
Situ Sanping's strength had indeed improved significantly.
Compared to before, he needed to respond more seriously.
With the blood-colored move, it felt similar to the effects of the Full Moon Divine Art.
His physique had improved significantly.
But the one he faced was Su Chen.
The tempering of the Profound Heaven Dao Heart Art had made his physique's foundation far superior to theirs.
Using the Spirit Snake Binding Skill and combining it with the Lin Family's sword techniques, his body movements were already bizarre, and now with the addition of the alternating real and illusory sword techniques,
In an instant, the longsword was aimed at Situ Sanping's back.
But after the Blood Qi Body Casting, Situ Sanping managed to react.
The broadsword even displayed a hint of sharpness.
Su Chen no longer held back, using Celestial Destiny, his body moved with grace.
There was no more suspense.
The outcome was decided.
Situ Sanping seemed to have gone a bit mad, with the blade tip pressing against his back, yet he still didn't admit defeat.
The broadsword in his hand was about to attack again.
With this move, Su Chen made his move again.
His figure was like a spirit snake, once again circling behind him.
The blade tip pressed against Situ Sanping's neck.
Xie Tangzhu from Linhai Mansion couldn't bear to watch anymore. He leaped up, taking the broadsword from Situ Sanping.
"Situ Sanping admits defeat, no need to fight further."
