Chapter 3136: I Only Know This Set

Facing the strange gazes of the crowd, Hong Zun gritted his teeth and spoke unhappily.

She gave her own name; what are you all staring at?

As for Qi Xiong and Wu Shou standing to the side, they had already turned their heads away, acting as if they didn't know this person.

On the arena, upon hearing this disciple's complaint, the referee also gave Wang Tieshu a helpless look.

Although she argued fiercely in her defense, after that bout there was indeed no trace of swordsmanship.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, you really don't seem like a sword cultivator."

"How am I not a sword cultivator?"

Facing the referee's words, Wang Tieshu glared with tiger-like eyes, looking as if they wanted to devour someone, their eyes full of resentment and unwillingness, as if they had truly been wronged.

Faced with such a gaze, for some reason the referee couldn't help feeling a bit guilty, but still steeled themselves and spoke.

"What sword technique did you just display, Fellow Daoist?"

If you don't even know what sword technique you just used, then don't bring up anything else.

However, what the referee and this disciple never expected was that Wang Tieshu, upon hearing this, immediately replied without a second thought.

"I employed the Yue Mountain Sword Technique."

"What the heck? You just called that the Yue Mountain Sword Technique?"

Upon hearing that, before the referee could speak, the male disciple couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He stared at Wang Tieshu with a ghost‑seen expression, his eyes full of disbelief.

As a basic sword technique, the Yue Mountain Sword Technique is naturally widespread in the Immortal Realm, the sort of thing you can buy at any street stall in any town.

Precisely for this reason, numerous sword cultivators in the Immortal Realm know the Yue Mountain Sword Technique.

Even those who have never cultivated have some understanding of it.

Coincidentally, this male disciple had seen the Yue Mountain Sword Technique before, but what Wang Tieshu just displayed bears no relation to it whatsoever.

If she didn't claim it, who could link that wild flurry of blows to the Yue Mountain Sword Technique?

Faced with the disciple's questioning, Wang Tieshu immediately responded discontentedly.

"It's your lack of experience; I am using the Yue Mountain Sword Technique—do you understand it?"

"I……."

"Alright, since it's the Yue Mountain Sword Technique, why don't Fellow Daoist Wang demonstrate it once to dispel everyone's doubts?"

Not giving the disciple a chance to speak, the referee directly said.

That's already giving enough face; as long as Wang Tieshu can perform the Yue Mountain Sword Technique completely, he will acknowledge this person as a sword cultivator.

As for that, Wang Tieshu naturally had no objection, because she truly knows the Yue Mountain Sword Technique.

After cultivating for so many days, she has practiced only the Yue Mountain Sword Technique, and that is the only thing she knows.

She therefore nodded without hesitation.

"Then let's fight."

Afterwards, in front of everyone present, Wang Tieshu assumed a starting posture and began to practice the Yue Mountain Sword Technique.

All around, including the powerhouses on the high platform, naturally took in everything.

Someone muttered softly.

"This looks like it really is the Yue Mountain Sword Technique, huh?"

"Although it's a bit odd, there's no doubt it's the Yue Mountain Sword Technique; I've trained in it."

Most of those present are sword cultivators, and there are also those who train in the heavy sword path; their eyesight is certainly fine, and they can tell at a glance that Wang Tieshu is performing the Yue Mountain Sword Technique.

After all, it's just a basic sword technique with little difficulty, so it's naturally easy to judge.

As Wang Tieshu finished the set of sword techniques, the male disciple opposite fell silent.

He also saw that it really is the Yue Mountain Sword Technique, but just now she wasn't like that.

"So, you're saying what I'm performing isn't the Yue Mountain Sword Technique, right?"

"That's right, but you weren't using it like that just now."

After that intense exchange, which of Wang Tieshu's swords could possibly be linked to the Yue Mountain Sword Technique?

In fact, not a trace of the Yue Mountain Sword Technique can be seen at all.

In response, Wang Tieshu replied confidently.

"I made a few modifications, what's wrong with that?"

"You…… what does that have to do with modifications? It's completely different, alright."

"Fellow Daoist Wang, do you know any other sword techniques?"

Not giving the two a chance to argue, the referee asked again, and this time Wang Tieshu simply replied.

"No, I only know this Yue Mountain Sword Technique."

"You only know one sword technique?"

"So what, does knowing just one sword technique mean you're not a sword cultivator?"

"Not........"

Although there's no rule that knowing only one sword technique disqualifies you as a sword cultivator, you damn well barely know even the basics of the Yue Mountain Sword Technique—you can barely call it an introduction.

By this point, everyone present could see that Wang Tieshu has only recently begun studying the sword way and apparently lacks any talent.

And with that, you still came to participate in the Sword Immortal Grand Assembly?

But if you say she doesn't meet the standards, she truly does know sword techniques; no matter what rank you assign, she can do it, so you can't say she isn't a sword cultivator.

The referee was also at a loss for a moment, and finally could only turn their gaze to the crowd on the high platform.

Those on the high platform are all renowned Immortal Realm powerhouses; for this matter, whatever the outcome, we can simply let them decide.

As for that, the crowd was also indecisive.

Saying it's against the rules is too far-fetched; not saying it would also offend Hong Zun, after all, that is Hong Zun's Dao companion.

But if we say it's compliant, everyone saw that fight just now—what does it have to do with sword technique? It's just pure strength.

Everyone looked at each other, and for a moment no one spoke; they all chose silence.

On the contrary, Hong Zun stood up and spoke.

"Everyone, let me say one thing: according to the assembly's rules, as long as one has mastered sword technique, one is a sword cultivator; being a sword cultivator, one naturally has the qualification to participate in the assembly, so I think Wang Tieshu's qualification is fine."

When Hong Zun said that, many people present shook their heads helplessly.

Originally we were already wary of Hong Zun; now they have spoken directly, if we still insist, that would be openly offending.

For a moment, many people made up their minds; we'll just sell this favor.

As for Hong Zun, after he finished speaking, the corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably; this woman secretly signed up without telling him, indeed making him quite angry.

However, given the current situation with so many people watching, he will definitely support Wang Tieshu; although their relationship is complicated, he cannot just stand by and do nothing at this time.

At the same time, Qi Xiong also expressed the attitude of Dao One Immortal Sect, just like Hong Zun.

Facing outsiders, Dao One Immortal Sect has always been united outwardly; at this time, Qi Xiong naturally could not undermine Hong Zun.

He must certainly support Hong Zun.

Even Dao One Immortal Sect has expressed its stance; the few remaining people who were still hesitating also nodded in agreement.

To offend Dao One Immortal Sect over such a trivial matter is not worth it.

The strong ones on the high platform had made a decision; the judge naturally did not hesitate and directly announced the result.

"Fellow Daoist Wang is indeed a sword cultivator, his qualification is fine; the match continues."

"What?"
