Chapter 206

And after a while, no one came up to spar. Zhao looked toward the literary field: "Should I call Qijiao Shang Huaitong?"

"No hurry, this Young Master Shang is named by several instructors. I will ask carefully at the end." Sui Zaihua shook his head, looking at the field, and suddenly said, "Why don't I point to one."

Zhao was stunned, and immediately signaled to go ahead.

Then he looked in the direction of the old man's gaze, but it was still the Cuiyu seat.

At this time, the young girl who had just made a stunning appearance had already sat down and was bowing her head and talking to a young man.

Sui Zaihua pointed: "That young man, can I invite you to come up and try?"

Pei Ye was startled, raised his head blankly, looked at the old man, stretched out his finger and pointed at himself and stood up slowly: "Me? Adult."

He asked with his mouth, but his body had already stepped out.

"No."

"..."

Pei Ye retracted his foot and smiled politely.

Everyone had recognized him when they tried the sword just now, and the field, which had become relaxed, suddenly heard laughter that was not unanimous.

"It's the young man behind you." Sui Zaihua said.

Pei Ye let him pass, and behind him was Yang Yan's face that was laughing at him loudly.

At this time, he froze.

The brothers' actions were exactly the same. The young man pointed at himself blankly to the point of dullness, and stood up on one side: "Me, me? Adult?"

Sui Zaihua nodded with a smile: "Yes, please come up and try, how about that?"

Yang Yan was a bit at a loss: "I, I practice the saber, adult."

Sui Zaihua nodded: "Touched some swords, right?"

"..." He had indeed touched them.

The old man smiled casually: "Just a gadget, if you don't want to go to the Sword Academy, no one can force you, just try it, it's nothing."

Yang Yan was still a bit stunned: "Then okay, adult."

Pei Ye made room for him, Yang Yan stepped out, came to the field, saluted all sides not very familiarly, and then, relying on his memory, touched the mirror frame like a cat drawing a tiger.

His eyes fell on the mirror surface.

Afterward, the mirror quality flowed again, and soon turned into heavy yellow turbidity.

Everyone's stretched necks retracted again.

Originally, seeing this adult point him out personally, everyone had full expectations, hoping to see that transparent beauty again, but didn't expect it to be just yellow mud.

But the following picture proved the old man's eye power. Only in front of this yellow turbidity, the black quality showed a feeling of difficulty for the first time. It squirmed with difficulty, nearly motionless. Sometimes the eyes were dazzled, and even couldn't distinguish which side had overwhelmed the other.

And this process lasted for a full forty breaths. Until the black quality completely swallowed the mirror surface at the end, it couldn't show any speed breakthrough.

It was the same yellow mud, but the breath of courage he relied on was like a tiger and a rabbit.

Yang Yan opened his eyes. This dull young man seemed to have just woken up after this heart test. The confusion in his eyes disappeared. He scanned the surroundings silently, and for a time, he was like a demon tiger choosing someone to devour.

Afterward, Yang Yan breathed lightly, stepped back, left the mirror, and put away the fierce edge he had just been forced to show.

"Relying on Qi, All Defended," the old man said.

The second All Defended.

Or rather, the first person in the whole field to achieve All Defended with 【Relying on Qi】.

Yang Yan looked at the east field nervously, but Sui Zaihua didn't say anything more and nodded, letting him go back.

Zhao smiled: "Supervisor Sui is indeed good eye power."

Sui Zaihua shook his head and smiled: "If I really had eye power, I should have pointed out the young girl just now earlier."

Zhao wouldn't let it go, pointed to the field and said: "Today, I must ask Supervisor Sui to point out another hero for Bowang."

Sui Zaihua smiled and sighed: "Inspector Zhao is really not satisfied. There is already a Facing the Scene · All Defended here, what kind of hero do you want?"

Zhao still wanted to speak, but suddenly a clear and beautiful voice came from under the tree shadow: "Cuiyu recommends a hero to the adult, how about that?"

Turning his head, it was Li Piaoqing.

For a time, people felt a bit strange—both 【All Defended】 came out from the Cuiyu seat. Could it be that they could push out a third one? Besides Cuiyu, was there no one in the entire Bowang state who could be brought out?

Now it was not whether Bowang state had face in front of the prefecture adult, but that they felt that your Cuiyu was a bit disrespectful to Bowang state.

Everyone turned their heads to look. Sure enough, the young man pushed out by the young girl was exactly Pei Ye, who had easily won eight matches with one sword just now.

To tell the truth, after seeing Li Piaoqing and the dull young man take 【All Defended】, everyone really believed that this one could also do it. For a time, there were quite a few expectations and cheering shouts.

Sui Zaihua looked at the literary and martial arts fields: "This young master seems to be famous, is he also a disciple of Cuiyu?"

"Ah..." Zhao was blank. He had never seen this unfamiliar face at all.

Fortunately, the young girl's clear voice had already come over: "Pei Ye of Fenghuai County, no sect, a native of Bowang, currently waiting in the state city to participate in the Golden Autumn Martial Arts Competition."

Then the young girl paused and said seriously: "Pei Ye is undoubtedly the most top-notch sword talent I have ever seen. Supervisor Sui, the letter from your academy says that Bowang is a place of outstanding people. In my opinion, these four words are neither exaggeration nor politeness, but fall completely and exactly on Pei Ye."

The clear sound could be heard by the whole field. In the astonishment, commotion and silence appeared on the Egret Viewing Platform at the same time.

The commotion was naturally because of the young girl's unreserved praise, which was simply flattery, and it was similar to Fang Jidao's "The lakes and seas are full of snakes and leeches, only you are a dragon fish." Clearly, she was the most dazzling person on the field at this time, but she was willing to use this brilliance as a step to hold up this young man who had only shown his face once just now and whose name many people hadn't remembered.

Of course, there would be commotion—he is actually so impressive? Is he really so impressive?

The silence was because many people realized the sword-drawn meaning in the other layer of these words.

Bowang is a place of outstanding people, all falling on this young man, then what about you, young sect leader, what about the young man who practices the saber but is still 【All Defended】, what about Young Master Zhang Mozhu, and most importantly, what about Young Master Qijiao Shang Huaitong?

Who doesn't know that the only name mentioned in this letter from the Sword Academy is Qijiao Shang Huaitong; and who doesn't know that "outstanding people" is also the name Qijiao Shang Huaitong added to Bowang.

However, now, the meaning of the young girl's words was clear—if Bowang only has one piece of spiritual beauty, it only falls on Pei Ye, and has nothing to do with Qijiao Shang Huaitong; if the Shaolong Sword Academy only wants one quota, it can't be Qijiao Shang Huaitong, but only Pei Ye.

Even if one was not sensitive, one knew that this touched the core interests of the Seven Serpents.

The dispute between Seven Serpents and Cuiyu was not new, but what made people doubt was, does this country boy suddenly pushed out by Cuiyu really have enough to compete with Bowang's first Young Master Shang?

Sui Zaihua had no fluctuations on his face, signaling the young man to come to the mirror.

Zhao also restrained his expression and sat faintly. For the martial arts disputes between the two sides, he knew in his heart, but naturally would not interfere. The only thing that made this adult interested in these words was the four words "native."

Not a sect talent, but a proper Bowang commoner.

He stared and watched, hoping that the young man could bring a 【All Defended】 belonging to Bowang alone.

After Pei Ye saluted, he came to the mirror. Suddenly, Sui Zaihua's interested voice came from the east field: "If you are interested in the Sword Academy, you can also perform two styles of swords first to see."

It was clearly the old man's eye power of "the person is like the sword" working again.

However, Pei Ye was stunned, but said: "Sorry, adult, I don't want to enter the Shaolong Sword Academy."

For a time, astonishment shifted to the faces of everyone in the field.

Everyone was listening to this very ordinary sentence, and their brains stopped turning, as if they saw a mouse looking up and saying to a tiger: "I won't slap you today."

No, who are you?!

Li Piaoqing also raised her head in astonishment, clearly caught off guard by this sentence from the young man.

Sui Zaihua was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Then please go ahead."

Pei Ye nodded, saluted again, lowered his head, and his gaze fell on this mirror. At this time, he had the first opportunity to see the material of this mirror surface at a close distance—not jade, nor glass.

But hazy and clear, like amber resin material.

This... was not the first time he had seen this material.

Pei Ye was truly stunned for a while, looked at the east field, and then reached out and touched this mirror.

Afterward, he felt a sudden emptiness beside him, and he was already standing on the Egret Viewing Platform that had suddenly turned into a bleak night.

Pei Ye looked around blankly—an illusion?

And then? Where is the test?

He clearly remembered that he touched the magic tool called "Sword Heart Illumination," and then was covered by this illusion.

He looked at the sky, feeling that this illusion was like a fragile thin paper, which could be torn open at will.

Just this? What can this test?

Then, Pei Ye suddenly remembered the young girl's account—in this, the person being illuminated should lose all memories.

He slapped his forehead fiercely—【Quail Head】!

Since 【Quail Head】 solidified in the dantian, it no longer needed to borrow from the Black Chi. At this time, it passively exerted its divine power that remained clear when facing the Immortal Lord's summoning, completely excluding the test of "Sword Heart Illumination" on the heart and spirit.

"Little Cat! Cover this up!" Pei Ye shouted hurriedly. He actually had this ability himself, but he had never used it, and he was really not familiar with it for a while.

"Oh." A calm answer, this time Pei Ye really felt an emptiness beside him, and many things disappeared.

The brain was also empty, and what was lost together was a large group of things he couldn't remember.

Then even the matter of "losing" was forgotten.

He turned his head and looked around. Around him were cold wind, autumn trees, residual moon, and gray and bleak sky. The moon was being slowly silkworm-eaten by unknown shadows, as if blood was leaking from the edge.

The most direct fear forced itself onto his heart, nowhere to hide, nowhere to hide. It was stripping everything away, as if removing the shell, and being placed in front of a group of sharp-toothed predators.

You can't see them, and you can't hear them, but that greedy hunger has already forced itself up.

The heartstrings tightened, but the young man was neither panicked nor fearful, just slowly frowning.

He forgot who he was, didn't know what the enemy was, and couldn't remember what he could rely on. But in the deepest part of his heart, there seemed to be a cognition that coexisted with it—welcoming unknown dangers and challenging powerful enemies was the most normal thing.

Just one more time.

Afterward, he lowered his head and saw a sword on the ground.

Yes, this thing is a sword.

An inexplicable thing emerged from his heart, flowing to the whole body. He bent down and grasped it steadily.

With the sword in hand, he felt that the whole person had undergone a tempering.

The huge fishy smell spread from behind, eating up the moon, and now coming toward him.

No need to think about how powerful the enemy is, that cognition was directly branded on his heart—unstoppable, and even cannot be faced directly.

Facing such an absolutely insurmountable enemy, daring to swing the sword is already a true warrior. Most people collapsed and abandoned the sword the moment this feeling forced itself up.

And swinging the sword to resist under such despair and fear is "defending."

But how long this "defending" can last divides everyone into different levels.

It will definitely collapse.

Who can know that it is impossible to win, but still rise up and try again and again, making their greatest efforts in repeated failures and despair, until the last moment?

If someone can do it, that is 【All Defended】...

This is the tough heart and nature that Sui Zaihua kindly didn't open, and which the talents of Bowang find it difficult to reach. It is the courage and confidence that every student of the Sword Academy possesses after holding the sword.

And the students comparing who persists longer is to see who can erupt with stronger power in the process of "defending"—faith and courage are just the threshold for entering us. Not being a deserter is just the basic quality of a warrior.

This is not something worth showing off. What truly makes people convinced is what kind of power you can erupt in this battle of heart and nature, killing the enemy, beheading the general, or capturing the flag?

The stronger you are, the slower the black quality advances.

Those who persist for more than a hundred breaths are the so-called "God Generals" in the Shaolong Sword Academy.

This is the whole mystery of the fearless pass.

At this time, in "Sword Heart Illumination," the young man is holding the sword horizontally in front of his eyes, looking at it somewhat blankly. Behind him, the shadows covering the sky and the earth have pounced.

That is a demon that uncovers the whole sky and tears the moon to pieces at will. The shadows it casts fill the world, and the fishy wind it spits is like clouds and fog, and all this surging power is only coming toward this small Egret Viewing Platform at this time.

The Egret Viewing Platform is like a grain of rice, and the young man stands on it, like a speck of dust stained.

The shadows covered the Egret Viewing Platform. He turned his head and revealed a peaceful and stable face, with flames burning in the depths of his pupils as quiet as autumn water.

After seeing the object clearly, this face didn't change in the slightest. He stepped back, turned around, and struck with his sword.

These movements were peaceful and comfortable, neither fast nor slow, as if performing for the children who were just starting to learn. But the moment the sword tip touched the shadows, the gale rose from the deepest part of the whole world, and the shadows, stickiness, fishy wind, darkness, demons... all evil omens were torn to pieces and annihilated.

The sun broke through the clouds, the light shone for ten thousand miles, the wild wind washed over, and the sky and sea were clear.

Everything was quiet.

Pei Ye opened his eyes slowly.

On the Egret Viewing Platform, the mirror called "Sword Heart Illumination" was emitting pure and scorching white divine light. It didn't reflect anything, just like a round of the purest white sun.

On it, there was no trace of any black quality left.

The whole field was as quiet as the deep night.

I am too awesome.

Still owe 32 chapters. (600 words short of two chapters, what a pity)
