Ling Chen sheathed his sword and walked off the stage.

The move he used to defeat Murong Qingshui was the third move of "Lotus Sword Song", Green Silk Evening Snow.

Ling Chen was always concerned that using "Lotus Sword Song" would attract attention from others because its power was too great, and if someone from the Tang Sect recognized it, it would be disadvantageous for him.

Therefore, Ling Chen wouldn't use the complete "Lotus Sword Song", instead, he only extracted and used the move "Green Silk Evening Snow".

As for Ascending Green Lotus and Blue Lotus Capture, visually they could easily remind one of Lotus Sword Song, which would inevitably cause trouble.

"This Ling Yu is truly unfathomable."

Sima Xiaoyao rubbed his chin, showing a thoughtful expression.

He had predicted earlier that Ling Chen was extraordinary, and indeed, his prediction was right.

"This young man does have some extraordinary abilities, but it might not be as exaggerated as you say."

Murong Ziying slightly furrowed her eyebrows.

"You should remember, I mentioned before when I was at the West Market, that the reason Ling Yu could toy with Li Tailong was probably because he learned the most secret art of the Ling Family."

Sima Xiaoyao shook his head, the seriousness on his face undiminished, "And did you notice, he hasn't even used that secret art until now." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Hearing you say that, I remember now."

Murong Ziying finally recalled that Sima Xiaoyao indeed said Ling Chen had cultivated a mysterious ultimate skill called "Golden Sword Pupil", and she had witnessed with her own eyes, Ling Chen using this ultimate skill to easily snatch a bracelet from Li Tailong's hand, who couldn't react in the slightest.

"You're right, perhaps this Ling Yu might really become a formidable opponent."

Murong Ziying began to take Ling Chen seriously.

"Where did this kid learn these strange martial arts moves from?"

Watching Ling Chen return triumphantly from the stage, Ling Lie was very satisfied, yet at the same time somewhat puzzled about where Ling Chen had learned these martial arts techniques.

"Everyone has their own opportunities, not to mention someone like Ling Yu, a young genius. As long as he's a descendant of our Ling Family, we should embrace and support him." Ling Zhen, who was beside, spoke up.

"That's true."

Ling Lie nodded, not inquiring further, "This time, whether our Ling Family can turn the tables beautifully all depends on this kid."

"Damn, this kid, he's going to get so arrogant that his tail will reach the sky."

Ling Hai's face was gloomy. Ling Chen kept advancing triumphantly, and thinking of himself being knocked out in the first round, as if coming for sightseeing, set his stomach alight with rage.

"No rush, with his strength, he won't last till the end."

Ling Feng's gaze was also sinister.

On the Ling Family side, after a round, Ling Xue faced her opponent, Xing Youfa from the Xing Family. Although Ling Xue exerted all her strength to display four moves of Breaking Sky Sword Art and brought the White Fox Sword Spirit's power to the extreme, she still lost to Xing Youfa in the end.

Similarly, Lan Xingling was also eliminated in this round. However, compared to Ling Xue, Lan Xingling persisting till now was considered exceptionally fortunate.

As for Ling Yuxuan, he encountered the second expert among the younger generation of the Tang Sect. Although this opponent was quite strong, in front of Ling Yuxuan, who had cultivated the Breaking Sky Sword Art to the eighth move, the opponent was clearly no match. By the tenth move, Ling Yuxuan struck his wrist with his sword, then knocked him off the stage.

The second round of the competition started quickly.

This round was also the contest for the final top ten.

"Ling Family's Ling Chen vs Gui Family's Ghost Heavenly Sword!"

Ling Chen's battle was once again scheduled for the first match, and his opponent was the genius of the Heavenly Wolf Family, Ghost Heavenly Sword, who always eyed the Ling Family covetously.

"Originally, I wanted to step on that kid Ling Yuxuan first, but since it's like this, I'll deal with this Ling Yu first to warm up."

Ghost Heavenly Sword grinned, not taking Ling Chen seriously at all.

"Be careful, this Ling Yu defeated Murong Qingshui; he shouldn't be underestimated."

Gui Tianchou calmly reminded.

"Murong Qingshui is just a woman, with mediocre strength. If it were me, I could defeat her in three moves."

Ghost Heavenly Sword didn't listen, leaping up onto the stage.

Gazing at Ling Chen, Ghost Heavenly Sword pushed his momentum to the limit. An aura of murderous intent emanated from him, the kind only achieved by killing thousands, blending with his presence, almost inducing hallucination in those around.

However, his murderous aura didn't shake Ling Chen in the slightest; once it reached him, it was immediately dispersed by the Sword Intent Ling Chen released.

"Hmm? This kid's Sword Intent seems to have some strength."

Apparently sensing the strength of Ling Chen's Sword Intent, Ghost Heavenly Sword regarded him with an added seriousness in his eyes.

"More than enough to defeat you."

Ling Chen said, smiling faintly.

"Groundless confidence is equivalent to ignorance."

As soon as he finished speaking, a segment of black sword blade suddenly appeared out of Ghost Heavenly Sword's sleeve, slashing heavily.

Crack!

A crack appeared on the stage, the black sword light cutting through with a fierce aura of slaughter, creating a storm wherever it passed.

An astonishing Sword Intent vaguely manifested as a black Demon Wolf phantom within the storm, sweeping towards Ling Chen.

"It's a combination of Slaughter Sword Intent and Destructive Sword Intent, the Heavenly Wolf Sword Intent of the Heavenly Wolf Family."

Sima Linyuan, who had previously battled Ghost Heavenly Sword, naturally knew the attributes of his Sword Intent. This Sword Intent was aggressively intrusive. He had the Canghai Blade Intent of the Sima Family to counteract it, which underplayed the power of this Heavenly Wolf Sword Intent.

However, for those who haven't comprehended Sword Intent, Blade Intent, or other martial arts intents, this is a huge advantage.

"Not good, seems like Ling Yu's achievement in Sword Intent isn't high?"

Ling Lie's expression changed. Although Ling Chen was a sword genius, it seemed like his accomplishments in Sword Intent hadn't been showcased before him, leading him to think Ling Chen's achievement in Sword Intent wasn't high.

The strength of Sword Intent can create a significant gap between two Swordsmen.

"Isn't Your Excellency showing off Sword Intent before a Swordsaint Family a bit like demonstrating minor skills before an expert?"

Fixing his gaze on the rampant Demon Wolf phantom, Ling Chen's expression remained unchanged. A burst of overwhelming Sword Intent suddenly emanated from his brow, materializing into a golden-blue Treasure Sword, piercing the void, immediately triggering snapping and crackling sounds in the air ahead, shredding it into pieces.

The Demon Wolf phantom released by Ghost Heavenly Sword was instantly shattered, completely collapsing.

"What?"

Feeling the powerful counterattack from Ling Chen, Ghost Heavenly Sword's enveloping Heavenly Wolf Sword Intent was swept away in an instant. His Heavenly Wolf Sword Intent was instead suppressed by Ling Chen, retreating under Ling Chen's fierce oppression.
