Wang Xaioqi lowered his head in the crowd, not daring to look at Ding Hao.
His eyes shone, no one knew what he was thinking about.
Then, someone in the crowd below the arena jumped up, challenging the top ten.
The challenger was a young man who had sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes. He had a dignified manner.
He wore green robes and held a long sword in his hand. He looked handsome and imposing.
However, his expression was rather cold. Even though he did not reveal anything, but he made one feel as if a piece of ancient ice block had suddenly appeared on the arena. There was a coldness that radiated from the depth of his soul, keeping others several thousand miles away.
"Fang Tianyi!" The cold youth announced his name and pulled out his long sword from its scabbard and pointed it at Ding Hao.
The person he chose to challenge was still Ding Hao.
"Damn it, why did they all choose me? Could it be that I was bor
On the arena. Ding Hao did not attack again. He held the hilt in his palms and saluted with his hands folded together. He smiled slightly and said, "Great sword technique! You're really good, perhaps we can be friends and learn from each other often in the future." "I can't ask for anything better." Fang Tianyi did not speak much. He nodded at Ding Hao and then turned to jump off the arena. Below the arena. The way the youths looked at Fang Tianyi had changed as well. Their eyes were filled with respect and awe. Even though he had lost, he had done it graciously. The sword technique that he had shown was a rank or even a realm higher than most. If he had not encountered an expert like Ding Hao, he would no doubt have won. There was a short pause, and suddenly, loud applause and cheers filled the room. Everyone cheered for the battle of swordsmanship. The exciting martial arts contest had also ignited the will to wi
"The Qi produced after two hours or so of cultivation is already more than that of all of the Qi together from the past 10 days. What an awesome "Taixuan Sword-seeking Scripture"! It is indeed a peak level martial arts formula of the human realm. It is indeed amazing." An unprecedented feeling of strength flowed through Ding Hao's body. "The Seed of Qi is about to reach fulfillment. After this, I should charge the first meridians of martial arts, the first meridian of Hand's Minor Yin." Only by opening the meridians and apertures could he truly enter the path of martial arts. Otherwise, no matter how powerful one's sword techniques were, without the use of Qi, it was but just a skill and did not possess any strength. Before a true powerhouse, he would not be able to pierce through their skin with a stroke, much less kill him. The "First Meridian of Hand's Minor Yin" started from the dantian. The first level o
The Holy Spring aperture was the first roadblock every beginner cultivator encountered. Ding Hao also felt that when the Qi was led to this place, it was like a rushing river that crashed into a dam. The river was stopped by the dam. Ding Hao quickly recalled the technique on charging and clearing the Holy Spring aperture listed in "Taixuan Sword-seeking Scripture". His expression quickly grew solemn. He had activated the Qi according to the technique, turning them into tendrils and directing them carefully around the "dam". Ding Hao felt that the blockage here was like a large round planet. The Qi turned into thousands of wisps under his control, carefully surrounding the planet. Then, the planet started to disintegrate slowly, part by part, melting little by little. This was a very slow process. Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, the silver moon set and the sun rose. The light that shone through
The only problem was, this young man was quite vain and stretched the truth to win admiration. In essence, he was immature. "What did you get, senior brother Ding?" Wang Xiaoqi still wanted to compete with Ding Hao. "Just a few trinkets," Ding Hao said with a smile. He actually wanted to say that he had reopened the Magic Spring aperture and entered the one-apertured realm, so that Wang Xiaoqi would learn some humility. However, he kept his mouth shut for Zhang Fan's sake. Wang Xiaoqi's smile widened. After exchanging a few words, he was excited to show off to other disciples he knew. "Junior brother Zhang, don't worry. As long as you have deep foundations, the fact that you were admitted to Swordsmanship-seeking Sect shows that they admire your skills. Just think, you beat out tens of thousands of others for a place in this sect. If you work hard, anything can happen. Tons of famous martial artists only blossomed at
However— "You're the ones that are going to get lost!" Ding Hao did not dodge the strike and also swung his palm. In the early dawn, a faint bolt of silver flashed by. The air was instantly chilled, as if it were the dead of winter, and everyone shivered. Nangong Zheng's force was instantly dissolved by the cold. Bang! With a dull sound, Ding Hao's and Nangong Zheng's palms crashed together. A force swept out in all directions. A bit of faint frost trickled out from Nangong Zheng's hand. "Your Dark Qi..." Before he could finish speaking, Nangong Zheng's face paled, and he was thrown off of the stairs like a broken kite. At the same time, Ding Hao landed firmly on the stairs. "Senior brother Nangong..." The other purple robed disciples shouted. Nangong Zheng was not the top disciples on the waiting list in the Southern courtyard, but he was definitely highly ranked
These 10 disciples had been too infuriatingly proud before, so they had brought this ridicule upon themselves. The teal robed Eastern courtyard disciples relished the opportunity for revenge. "You... you should watch out. Just wait; I'm not even a top 50 disciple in the Southern courtyard. When the courtyard tournament comes, you'll see our true power!" Nangong Zheng said pitifully as he was helped up by another disciple. His face was bruised heavily and looked very awkward. The arm that he had been struck on by Ding Hao was still smoking with silver frost and completely numb. The other Southern courtyard disciples were equally injured. Any part of their bodies that was struck by Ding Hao was covered in a palm-shaped piece of frost and completely numbed. They all stared at him in disbelief and fear. Everyone knew that Ding Hao had formed his element Dark Qi. His Qi was also the extremely rare frost Qi, which was very
"Huh? Is that actually true?" "Otherwise, why do you think the 2000 disciples on the waiting list are divided into five academies? How come there are barely any authorities in the academies, but a few teachers? This kind of hands-off management is perfect for disciples who are truly powerful. Only after unifying his academy and gaining the support of all its disciples, can he be worthy of the title of the top disciple, of eventually joining the core disciples, and of obtaining our sect's true legacy and magic skills! "Huh. How come I don't know all of this?" "You're just a glutton who eats all day. If you asked the third-generation disciples, you would have known." "Why should I go ask since you can tell me?" said the chubby young man with a pout. "Hey, honestly, you're probably so critical of my eating because I still manage to stay slim." "Damn it, you're almost as fat as a pig!"
Ding Hao was very surprised. He thought his eyes were deceiving him and continued sending his Ice Qi into the Fate Sea aperture. However, the result was the same as before. When the Ice Qi reached the second Fate Sea aperture, it disappeared completely, not matter how much he sent or how hard he tried. How strange! How could this happen? Ding Hao forced himself to calm down and tried to think though this problem. The only explanation he could think of was the strange incident in the cave under the Great Abyss, especially with the strange saber and sword shadows and the constant sound of arguing. Was that where the problem lay? At this thought, something shocking suddenly happened that almost scared the wits out of Ding Hao. "Oh wow, this boy is pretty smart!" chirped a clear male voice in his head, without any warning. ... Ding Hao was so terrified that he almost jumped out of bed like a startled
