Capítulo 1800: Chapter 259: Emerging Talent

The commotion at the guesthouse startled various elite warriors resting nearby.

Many people opened their windows to watch, wanting to know who was fighting.

However, when they stuck their heads out to observe, the battle had already subsided, and the assassin had slipped away.

All they saw was a guesthouse in a remote corner with lights on, then a few shadows walking around in a room, seemingly handling corpses.

For the cultivators participating nearby, such situations are very normal.

Because the Swordplay Tournament gathers elite warriors from all walks of life, there is a good chance that there are two hostile individuals or groups among them; whenever these two people or groups meet, an eighty percent chance of a big fight breaking out exists.

Once a big fight happens, casualties are inevitable; this has become a common occurrence at every grand event, and experienced contestants have become immune to it.

When confronted with such situations, the only thing they need to do is watch from the sidelines, avoiding involvement.

After watching for a while, the participants who were awakened in shock went back to sleep.

…

Early the next morning, the cultivators participating in the Swordplay Tournament flew to Tianhua Mountain, ready to compete.

The tournament is divided into several stages.

From swordplay at the foot of the mountain to swordplay at the summit. Only those who end up at the summit have the qualification to obtain three rare and extremely precious Wind Spirit Pearls.

In other words, all participants must go through layer-by-layer elimination rounds to advance to the final.

Lin Yifan and Lei Ming arrived early at the foot of Tianhua Mountain, waiting for the tournament to begin with various cultivators.

A few minutes later, they saw Fan Dachuan, who fled in panic last night.

Fan Dachuan saw them as well and immediately revealed a fierce expression, making a taunting gesture akin to Chi Luoluo.

Lei Ming felt agitated and wanted to make a move, but was stopped by Lin Yifan.

There’s no need to bother with such petty people; if truly capable, they will meet at the summit, otherwise, they are just losers.

Lei Ming understood that opportunities are rare, so he cautioned himself not to lose the chance to compete out of a moment’s impulsiveness.

Twenty minutes later, the King of Great You Country led a group of ministers to the foot of Tianhua Mountain.

After rambling through a lengthy opening speech, he then announced the start of today’s Swordplay Tournament.

All participants closed their eyes, restrained their bodies, and fought using only their minds.

The so-called Swordplay Tournament is about seeing how much sword technique profound mysteries you grasp and how deep your understanding is.

This has nothing to do with spiritual energy, only a slight relation to the soul, but is more about comprehension of swordsmanship.

Having a strong soul without profound swordsmanship won’t cut it.

The tournament has numerous Great Immortal Realm and above masters overseeing the surroundings; any contestant trying to cheat should weigh the consequences, including the princes and princesses of Great You Country.

Since the proctors hail from everywhere and supervise each other, they won’t turn a blind eye or favor anyone.

All participants used their minds to wield their swords.

The sword definitely won’t stop moving or remain unharmed; because the tournament rules of the foothill stage state that only one thousand surviving swords advance to the next round.

In other words, swords must fight each other; those defeated entail the elimination of the sword wielder.

The Swordplay Tournament is just that ruthless; those who haven’t comprehended sword technique profound mysteries or with low mastery are destined to be eliminated.

Lin Yifan and Lei Ming have grasped some sword technique profound mysteries, so they could easily pass the first round.

The Seven-Colored Immortal Sword wielded by Lin Yifan became a dominator, continuously slashing those who attacked or lurked around.

The reason for this massacre is because the tournament has another rule: contestants who defeat a certain number of competing treasured swords can automatically advance, without waiting until the last moment.

Of course, this rule applies only to rounds before the finals; in the final round, one must fight until the last person standing to claim victory.

This rule is set because using one’s mind to wield a sword is quite exhausting, and the match duration is long, so the tournament has to consider contestants’ sustained combat abilities.

So after the rule is made, no contestants with high sword skills wish to spend excessive time waiting till the end; thus, if others don’t attack them, they will attack others.

Those attempting to last till the end by hiding cannot escape inevitable failure.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

Wherever the Seven-Colored Immortal Sword passed, there lay piles of worthless scrap metal or invaluable treasured swords on the ground.

Of course, treasured swords forged with inferior materials couldn’t withstand the devastation of the Seven-Colored Immortal Sword.

One defeated contestant after another opened their eyes.

When they saw the Immortal Sword that had defeated their treasured sword freely moving and radiating brilliantly in the air, they all secretly sighed, feeling inferior.

This Seven-Colored Immortal Sword shines so brightly, moves so fast, its techniques so complex, it seems the sword technique profound mysteries are quite strong.

They were very curious about who the sword wielder was, so they closed their eyes again, emitting mind-sensing.

Only through the mind can one sense the mind; otherwise, this ethereal thing cannot be perceived.

Following the invisible “cord” on the Seven-Colored Immortal Sword, one way they tracked the location of the sword wielder and quickly opened their eyes to observe.

Seeing it was a young man barely over twenty, they were greatly shocked.

So young, yet grasping such profound swordsmanship, it’s terrifying.

“Who is this person? How come I’ve never seen or heard of such a formidable character?”

“Surely a peerless talent who has come with great renown.”

“The World of All Things is full of talents and masters; it seems we are too ordinary.”

“Surrendered convincingly, sigh!”

…

Besides sighing, the contestants defeated and eliminated by Lin Yifan also discovered a black sword, shrouded in traces of the power of thunder and lightning, wandering around the Seven-Colored Immortal Sword.

This Black Sword wasn’t attacked by the Seven-Colored Immortal Sword.

It appeared the owners of these two swords knew each other; only this could explain such an occurrence.

After carefully observing, someone recognized these two as the young men gambling on stones in a stone-gambling shop last night.

These two young men, one addicted to gambling, the other pretending not to gamble; undeniably, they were companions and appeared to be very good partners.

The one pretending not to gamble is a deeply hidden “old thief”; now it really seems that way.

Such peerless talents, saying they aren’t protected secretly by strong figures, no one would believe, fortunately, those who harbored greed last night didn’t target these two, otherwise, unimaginable outcomes.
