Chapter 797: Sword Dao Conference (2)
Translator: 549690339
“Fellow Daoist? Who was this person? Why is it so strange? I see that he is quiet and unkempt, but his strength seems to be quite powerful.”
The swordsman next to Li Yuanqing looked very depressed. He was standing there just now, and for some reason, a guy came over.
This guy had been trying to get close to him since he came over. Initially, he did not take it seriously and just answered whatever he asked.
However, who knew that this kid would never stop asking questions. He couldn’t even stop talking. In just a short while, he had already asked no less than 30 to 40 questions.
No matter how mature a swordsman was, it was still annoying to have such a guy buzzing in his ears and asking non-stop questions.
Just as he was about to flare up, Li Yuanqing suddenly said, “Hey, why does the symbol on your shoulder look so similar to theirs? Are you two fellow disciples?”
Li Yuanqing didn’t hide his words. Everyone around him heard him clearly. They turned around at the same time and looked at him with positive eyes.
“It really is from the Lingyun Pavilion.”
“I was wondering why I felt like there was a strange person standing beside me.”
“Yo, this guy is still using his sword to block his badge. If it wasn’t for this little brother, we wouldn’t have noticed.”
There were even swordsmen who nodded at Li Yuanqing as if to express their friendliness.
“Little brother, the people of the Lingyun Pavilion are all indecent. You should stay away from them and don’t get infected with any bad habits.”
“You’re absolutely right. The Lingyun Pavilion has been weird ever since the previous sect leader. It’s getting weirder and weirder now.”
Li Yuanqing looked at the swordsman beside him, whose face was gradually turning red. He had been practicing swordsmanship all year round, and his heart had long been as calm as water.
However, he didn’t expect Li Yuanqing to easily break his psychological defense.
Li Yuanqing cautiously took a step back and pretended as if nothing had happened. He looked at the other person and said with a smile,”I don’t think so. Aren’t we all swordsmen? Be friendly and don’t fight. Besides, it’s inappropriate to do it in public.”
Although he was talking to that person, the Lingyun Pavilion disciple heard him.
“Don’t worry, this is Heavenly Cloud City. No one dares to make a move here.”
Li Yuanqing suddenly felt a gaze sweep over him. He hurriedly looked in that direction, only to find that old man Du Xuan had just retracted his gaze and was sizing up Chou Wu.
Li Yuanqing stared at Du Xuan cautiously. Just now, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
Du Xuan’s strength was actually so strong that just one look was enough to make people tremble from the bottom of their hearts.
Li Yuanqing had thought that Du Xueyuan would pursue the matter of Chou Wu. Unexpectedly, he turned to Duan Lingxiao and said,””Now that these children have their own ways of cultivation, we should give them less restrictions. Perhaps this is the right path for the Sword Sect to flourish.”
“Elder Du, back then, our Sword Sect was able to make a name for ourselves from obscurity all because of the strict laws set by the master. If it was broken just like that, that would be great.”
“It’s been so many years. The rules should have been changed long ago.”
After Du Xuan finished speaking, he said to Chou Wu, who was standing in the middle of the arena,”” Alright, according to the rules, if one’s sword intent is not above Stage Six, they are not qualified to participate in the Forum Conference. If there are no problems, let’s begin the test.””
As soon as Du Xuan finished speaking, Chou Wu waved his arm without looking back. In an instant, a sword qi streaked across the air and landed lightly on the stone.
Just as the sword Qi entered the stone, Chou Wu had already put away the sword in his hand and turned around to enter the crowd.
The people beside him quickly made way for him, as if they did not want to have anything to do with him.
Duan Lingxiao was very dissatisfied. He stared at Chou Wu’s back as he left. He didn’t even look at the test results on the rock.
“This kid is too arrogant! How could such an arrogant person be given the chance to participate in the competition?”
Du Xuan ignored him. He stared at the gradually disappearing scratches on the stone and smiled in satisfaction.
“Stage 7, your strength is not bad.”
“Elder Du, he doesn’t care about gaining weight. How can we give such a person the chance to continue participating in the competition? We should cancel his qualifications and not indulge them.”
Duan Ling Xiaoyi seemed to have a strong opinion of the people from the Lingyun Pavilion from the start.
Just now, Chou Wu left immediately after brandishing his sword. He did not even show any respect to the two judges. It really made him unable to hold back his anger.
“The only rule of the Sword Dao Convention is that one’s sword intent must reach Stage Six. Forget about the rest, let him be.”
This infuriated Duan Lingxiao, but he could do nothing about it. He was only an assistant here today, and Du Xuan was still the one in charge.
He didn’t expect Du Xuan to condone such behavior, so he didn’t have any temper at all.
Li Yuanqing was excited and wanted to ask Fang Tai about the Lingyun Pavilion disciple. That guy was already prepared. He turned his head and glared at him, deliberately keeping a distance from him.
Li Yuanqing pretended to smack his lips as if nothing had happened. Then, he turned to the other side and asked another unlucky person,”What’s the standard for a sixth stage sword intent? Why haven’t 1 heard of it before?” “Fellow Daoist, where did you come from? Why are you here?”
“Yes, to be honest, I have been cultivating in the deep mountains. Recently, my master passed away, so 1 came to the outside world to wander around.”
“This is the registration site for Sword Dao. If you want to participate in martial arts, then go to the north and look for it. There’s a registration place there.”
“I feel that my swordsmanship is quite good. Isn’t anyone allowed to participate in the sword path?”
That person could not help but laugh out loud when he heard Li Yuanqing’s words.
“Fellow Daoist, you’ve been cultivating in the deep mountains, so I don’t blame you for your shallow knowledge. It’s just that this Sword Dao competition has always been a competition that only the disciples of my Sword Sect can participate in. If outsiders were to participate, they would probably not have a good ending.”
Li Yuanqing scratched his head in confusion. He looked at the stone in the middle of the stage and asked in confusion,”Didn’t you say that as long as you reach the sixth level, it’s enough? Why are you still splitting so much? 1 thought that old man meant what he said.”
As soon as he said this, the entire scene fell silent. Everyone’s eyes gathered on him.
Even Du Xuan stopped and turned his gaze to Li Yuanqing, revealing a kind smile.
“Little friend, what do you want to say?”
The few Sword Sect disciples beside Li Yuanqing immediately retreated to the side and quickly pulled away from Li Yuanqing.
Duan Lingxiao frowned as he looked at Li Yuanqing from head to toe. He seemed to be very puzzled by the appearance of such a character here.
Li Yuanqing wasn’t nervous when faced with Du Xuan’s question. He took a step forward and replied to Du Xuan,””Senior, you said that as long as your sword intent reaches Stage Six, you can participate in this meeting. Why can’t I?”
Du Xuan couldn’t help but laugh when he heard Li Yuanqing’s words. Everyone had seen many ridiculous things at their age, but today was the first time they saw a first-level Supreme Realm guy who was not a disciple of any sword sect say that he wanted to participate in the Sword Dao Convention.
“Senior, why are you laughing?”
Li Yuanqing even asked righteously.
This infuriated Duan Lingxiao.
Duan Lingxiao slammed the table and stood up with his eyes wide open. He roared at the people around Li Yuanqing,””Who brought this kid here? Hurry up and take him away!”
The crowd remained silent.
Duan Ling Xiao’s gaze fell on Li Yuan Qing.
“Who are you with? Go back to where you came from! Don’t cause trouble here!”
Not only was Li Yuanqing not intimidated by his imposing manner, he even puffed out his chest and replied,”! came by myself? I’m here to register for the Kendo Conference!”
