Facing Wang Yiming's sneer, a smile flashed across Ling Chen's face.
"Do you still remember the night before the assessment competition started? That night you came to me to compete, and I said I would defeat you in the ring. Today is the day when I fulfill my promise."
Wang Yiming was stunned by Ling Chen's words, and then laughed loudly and said: "Okay, then I want to see how you, a loser, can defeat me!"
Ling Chen raised his sword eyebrows and suddenly changed into a cold expression. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a sinister smile.
"I think... you may be thinking too much and fight me? You are no longer qualified now!"
After saying this, before Wang Yiming could get angry, Ling Chen walked towards the third arena. The person he wanted to challenge today was the champion of the third arena, Li Ruojian, a third-level swordsman!
Wang Yiming almost lost his temper at Ling Chen's words. Just when he was about to get angry, he found Ling Chen walking towards the third arena.
The disciples from the Swordsman Academy outside the field all looked at Ling Chen, who was already standing on the third stage, with disbelief, their eyes filled with doubts, shock, and even disdain and ridicule.
"Is this kid's brain caught in the door? He actually dares to challenge the champion of the third ring regardless of life or death?"
"I think this kid is probably a masochist. I'm afraid he was beaten stupidly in the Swordsman Academy in the past three years. I really don't know how he entered the finals..."
"Don't tell me, I've been observing this kid for two days and found that he seems to be different from before. It's definitely not an accident that he can enter the finals this time. But... to say that he can defeat Li Ruojian of the third level of swordsman,
I really can’t believe it.”
"Hey, isn't this an obvious fact? This kid is probably just trying to show off his talent. He knows he can't make it into the top ten, so he's creating a puzzle here. Look, he's dead this time."
…
For a time, the entire square suddenly became lively, and many people began to discuss there, and some people were already placing bets in groups of three or five.
Maybe it was influenced by Xiao Fan last time, so now they started betting on Ling Chen again to see if he could defeat Li Ruojian.
…
On the ring, Ling Chen stood with his sword in hand, his expression extremely calm, not affected by the words from the outside world at all.
Li Ruojian frowned slightly and looked at Ling Chen in front of him with a solemn expression, as if it was hard to believe that the young man in front of him was the martial arts waste in the Swordsman Courtyard.
Li Ruojian can be said to be an out-and-out martial arts idiot. He has only been in the Swordsman Academy for two years, but he has already broken through to the third level of swordsmanship. He is indeed considered a genius.
Although he had heard of Ling Chen many times, this was the first time he saw Ling Chen in person today, so he was even more shocked.
Is this still the trash that others call it?
This was a question that suddenly popped into Li Ruojian's mind after seeing Ling Chen.
The moment Ling Chen stepped onto the ring, he felt a powerful energy exuding from Ling Chen's body, and this kind of aura was not something that a warrior in the realm of swordsmen could possess.
And when Li Ruojian used his spiritual consciousness to detect Ling Chen's cultivation level, he was shocked to find that Ling Chen was also at the third level of swordsman realm!
This discovery made Li Ruojian a little unbelievable, but after repeated confirmation, he had to admit that Ling Chen was indeed a third-level swordsman.
"Are you the Ling Chen they talk about?"
Li Ruojian was not in a hurry to start, but asked tentatively.
If many people present today didn't know Ling Chen, Li Ruojian almost thought that there were two people with the same name in the Swordsman's Courtyard.
Ling Chen, who heard the hidden meaning of Li Ruojian's words, smiled slightly and said, "Yes, I am the waste they call me, the useless martial artist who will never be able to practice in his whole life."
Ling Chen's answer stunned Li Ruojian. He seemed to have never expected that Ling Chen would say such a sentence so calmly.
"I'm sorry, I don't mean anything else, I just want to confirm. But I am very curious, how can you cultivate to the realm of a swordsman without a martial spirit."
Ling Chen smiled, slowly took out the long sword in his hand, and said softly: "The world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders, maybe... I am just an anomaly."
Ling Chen's answer stunned Li Ruojian for a while before he came back to his senses.
When he looked at Ling Chen again, there was already more respect in his eyes, a kind of respect for the strong!
"I like an alien like you. If you use all your strength, I won't be soft-hearted."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ruojian swung his long sword and launched a preemptive attack on Ling Chen.
Li Ruojian's sword skills were endless, and his back moves were unpredictable. As soon as he made a move, Ling Chen felt a powerful sword intent pressing towards him.
With a burst of joy in his heart, he turned around with his long sword and swung his sword light, immediately blocking Li Ruojian's sword light.
Facing such a kendo master of the same level, Ling Chen was very excited.
In his opinion, only by fighting against such an opponent can he improve his cultivation level as quickly as possible.
Ling Chen's nameless swordsmanship was exquisite, and every move was dazzling, causing the disciples of the Swordsman Academy in the audience to exclaim in surprise.
Qin Ren frowned, looking at Ling Chen who was swinging his sword freely on the stage, a hint of murderous intent arose in his heart.
At this time, Wang Yiming's face was already dull, and the arrogant and domineering pride of the past was long gone.
"How... is this possible? How could this happen?"
Wang Yiming kept asking himself in his mind. Until now, he still couldn't believe his eyes. He couldn't believe that Ling Chen could have such strong strength.
At this time, Wang Yiming finally knew what the smile on Ling Chen's face just now meant.
With Ling Chen's current strength, he was no match for him. Recalling all the scenes of bullying Ling Chen before, Wang Yiming couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and felt a sense of fear in his heart.
The expressions on the faces of the teachers at the Swordsman Academy were even more exciting. They never thought that a useless person who was born without a martial soul could actually have such powerful sword moves.
He Xin's face was even more gloomy. Ling Chen's sudden rise made him feel very unhappy. Even he himself didn't know why.
Above the arena, sword lights were flying. The long sword in Ling Chen's hand was like the all-pervasive flowing water, making it difficult for people to guard against it.
Facing Ling Chen's powerful attack, Li Ruojian's face was full of excitement. For a swordsman like him, sword moves like this are what he needs most!
For Ling Chen, the more powerful Li Ruojian is, the more he can arouse the fighting spirit in his heart!
