A giant sword, carrying a dense Heaven and Earth Sword Intent, wished to cleave open the Heavenly Gate with a single strike.
A giant sword, carrying a dense Destruction Sword Intent, wished to destroy heaven and earth with a single strike.
They collided just like that.
In an instant, heaven and earth lost their color.
The entire square fell silent, not a single sound could be heard.
Everyone widened their eyes, holding their breath as they watched the arena, all waiting for the final outcome.
Would Jian Wushuang maintain his title as the true number one Prodigy of Tianhe County?
Or would Ye Lin defeat Jian Wushuang and become the new number one Prodigy of Tianhe County?
A moment later, the sword light dissipated, and both Ye Lin and Jian Wushuang looked at each other with smiles.
And the two of them just stood there quietly, everyone widening their eyes, waiting for the result.
Lu Xuan in the sky smiled slightly.
"I lost."
"Lost."
"Lost."
After Jian Wushuang finished speaking, his voice echoed continuously throughout the vast square.
Upon hearing this familiar voice, everyone present was filled with disbelief.
Jian Wushuang, actually lost?
Jian Wushuang, who was like a God in their eyes, the number one Prodigy of Tianhe County, actually lost.
Their first reaction was disbelief, and their second reaction was, definitely disbelief.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, you are very strong, I, Jian Wushuang, admire you."
Jian Wushuang clasped his fists and bowed to Ye Lin. In that last sword strike, he had fallen into a disadvantage.
And Ye Lin, in order not to destroy his Dao, automatically withdrew his hand.
Even so, he still lost.
At the same time, he was very grateful in his heart.
If Ye Lin had forcefully crushed him, he would have doubted whether the path he was on was correct, and by then, reaching the Nascent Soul Stage within five years would be hopeless.
As a Core Formation Stage Late Stage Cultivator, with a Lifespan of a thousand years, five years might not seem like much, but that depends on the person.
For Cultivators who just lie flat, it's indeed not much, but who are they?
"Fellow Daoist Wushuang, you are too serious."
Seeing Jian Wushuang so respectful, Ye Lin also clasped his fists in return.
Jian Wushuang was incredibly powerful, the strongest person of the same Realm he had encountered on his journey.
Just now, he had only slightly crushed Jian Wushuang by a tiny bit.
Firstly, his foundation was still far inferior to Jian Wushuang's.
Secondly, he was a Core Formation Stage Late Stage Cultivator.
Although a Prodigy can fight above their Realm, it depends on who the opponent is.
A Prodigy fighting an ordinary Cultivator and a Prodigy fighting a Prodigy are different in meaning.
If his foundation was the same as Jian Wushuang's, then it wouldn't have been just a tiny bit of crushing.
If he had wanted to just now, he could have completely shattered Jian Wushuang's Dao, causing Jian Wushuang to fall into deep self-doubt.
A Cultivator who has just walked their own path knows nothing about what lies ahead.
And this stage is also the most dangerous and most vigilant; they must continuously verify whether their path ahead is correct, and if it's wrong, immediately discard it and re-comprehend.
And at this time, shattering his Dao Heart could make him fall into deep self-doubt.
The reason he didn't do this was because Jian Wushuang was a good person, with a righteous heart, and from his panel, he would die for the Human Race in the future, such a person.
He would at most plunder some of his Opportunity, as for killing him, it was not necessary.
After all, he and Jian Wushuang did not have any deep-seated enmity.
"Hiss, Senior Brother Ye won! I knew Senior Brother Ye was invincible! Damn it, you scoundrel, give me the Spirit Stones I bet! I bet three Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, with a total of ten thousand times the odds! Hurry up and settle it for me!"
"Me too, I bet one Low-Grade Spirit Stone, but I still made a huge profit."
"Damn it, I bet five hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones on Jian Wushuang! It's over, I've lost even my underwear!"
On the entire spectator stand, some rejoiced while others worried.
The vast majority of people had bet on Jian Wushuang, as Jian Wushuang was an undefeated legend in their hearts.
This also led to such outrageous odds.
However, there were still some who wanted to take a risk and get rich overnight, and it turned out they bet correctly.
"Brother Ye, how about we have a few drinks later? If you refuse, then you're not giving your big brother Face."
At this moment, Jian Wushuang laughed heartily, put his arm around Ye Lin's neck, and spoke familiarly.
Jian Wushuang only recognized strength; if you were weak, even if you were his own brother, he would look down on you.
If you were incredibly powerful and could win him over with your Combat Power, even if you were his enemy, he would admire you from the bottom of his heart.
"Okay, definitely."
Seeing Jian Wushuang like this, Ye Lin had a bitter smile on his Face.
However, on second thought, making friends with a future City Lord of Divine Sword City didn't seem bad either.
After all, Jian Wushuang was, firstly, the son of the Divine Sword City Lord, and secondly, he possessed Unparalleled Combat Power; it would be unreasonable if the future Divine Sword City didn't belong to Jian Wushuang.
"Hahaha, good."
In the sky, Lu Xuan smiled broadly as he watched this scene.
In these ten years, Jian Wushuang had never been so happy.
As the number one Prodigy of Divine Sword City, they had cultivated Jian Wushuang with extreme care, but ever since Jian Wushuang couldn't find an opponent in the same Realm, he had been silent and taciturn.
But what everyone didn't know was that Jian Wushuang used to be a sunny Boy.
And later, he became silent and taciturn, suppressing his nature like this, which was extremely unfavorable for his future Cultivation.
And now seeing Jian Wushuang so happy, he was also happy.
After all, Jian Wushuang was half like his own son, and he had watched him grow up since he was a child.
"Alright, I announce that the Divine Sword City Grand Event is hereby concluded. The top one hundred Cultivators please go collect your rewards. As for the first place, please follow this old man."
Lu Xuan stroked his beard and said with a chuckle.
Their Divine Sword City was not one to lose gracefully; if Ye Lin won, then they would just let him read the Sword Book.
Anyway, the complete version of the Sword Book was a Heaven Rank Sword Art, containing ten thousand types of Sword Arts. What was currently hidden in Divine Sword City was only an incomplete version.
Even so, there were still over a thousand types of Sword Arts in it.
But so what? The Sword Book was obscure and difficult to comprehend. Even a Nascent Soul Realm True Person, if they could comprehend five Sword Arts within five hours, would be considered to have extraordinary talent.
"Little friend, follow me."
"Brother, go ahead, I'll wait for you. After you finish comprehending the Sword Book, I'll take you around Divine Sword City and we'll drink until we're completely drunk."
Jian Wushuang patted Ye Lin's shoulder.
"Okay."
Ye Lin nodded, following behind Lu Xuan, and walked towards the huge mountain in front of them.
"Monk, what are you doing here?"
After Ye Lin's figure disappeared, Jian Wushuang frowned and looked at Wu Xin beside him.
"Benefactor, Benefactor Ye is Little Monk's close friend. Now that Benefactor Ye has won first place, Little Monk is happy from the bottom of his heart, so I am waiting here."
"After Benefactor Ye finishes comprehending the Sword Book, Little Monk will also invite Benefactor Ye to celebrate together."
Wu Xin clasped his hands together and bowed to Jian Wushuang, a smile on his Face.
"So, you're my brother's close friend. My brother's close friend is my close friend. In that case, from now on, you'll be my third brother. Do you agree?"
Upon hearing this, Jian Wushuang was slightly stunned, then laughed heartily and put his arm around Wu Xin's neck, saying.
"Benefactor Wushuang's invitation is so generous, Wu Xin dares not refuse."
Wu Xin's Face revealed a mysterious smile.
Hooking up with the future City Lord of Divine Sword City would be entirely beneficial to his future, with no harm whatsoever. He had to thank Benefactor Ye for this.
