Overall Group Match Begins
With the broken sword in hand, Yi Yun injected his spiritual energy into the sword as he stood up to obtain the memories from the sword.
He began brandishing the sword slowly, as if he was immersed in that dream-like spiritual world.
The sword-wielding man’s attack that cut the bronze giant’s neck was naturally much clearer than the sword scars left in the Pure Yang Sword Palace. Yi Yun just needed to recall it as it was now a clear memory in his mind.
Looking at a sword scar to learn an attack was naturally limited. But having seen the attack personally, and having the scenes of the sword attack imprinted into his mind, it was completely different.
Yi Yun slowly entered that mysterious state again. He wandered around that dream-like world and he could faintly feel that the things he had previously not understood become clearer.
So that was how it was…
Yi Yun muttered to himself. He did not know how much time had passed when suddenly, he heard footsteps coming from outside the sword tomb.
The sound of the footsteps were very soft, but they had a rhythm to it. The interval between each step was like clockwork precision. It was the footsteps of an expert.
Cang Yan…
Yi Yun knew who the owner of the footsteps was immediately.
Yi Yun was surprised that he could hear the footsteps from inside the sword tomb. It was fascinating.
This was because the sword tomb’s door isolated the sword tomb from the exterior world once it was closed.
And not only could he hear the footsteps, he was even able to identify the owner of those footsteps.
“This kid still hasn’t come out yet.”
Outside the sword tomb, Cang Yan began talking to himself in an annoyed manner.
There were only two hours left till the beginning of the overall group match. Every time Yi Yun entered the sword tomb, he will lose track of time, requiring Cang Yan to remind him.
But, Cang Yan was afraid of disturbing Yi Yun. Warriors were most afraid of being disturbed when they were cultivating.
Just as Cang Yan was looking at the hourglass, the sword tomb’s door suddenly opened.
Yi Yun appeared by the door, “The overall group matches are beginning?”
Yi Yun was able to hear the words Cang Yan was saying to himself from inside the sword tomb.
Cang Yan was stumped for a while before saying snappily, “You sure are on time, you seemed to be in the right place to catch that. Almost everyone is at the arena now. There are still two hours left. You can still meditate and rest for a while to adjust your condition. Your opponent today is very strong, extremely strong!”
Cang Yan used two consecutive “strong” words to describe the Yun Long Divine Kingdom’s overall group match opponent.
“This old man doesn’t expect you to become the champion, and I only want you to fight to show our Tai Ah Divine Kingdom’s forceful stance, lest those sons-of-bi*ches continue being so complacent in front of me!”
Cang Yan looked pissed. He was in a bad mood after those two white-robed Elders nipped at him.
“I got it.” Yi Yun responded tersely as if his mind was still wandering. He was still immersed in gaining insight of the Sword Intent, so he could not help it.
Seeing Yi Yun not taking it at heart, Cang Yan turned despondent, “Kid, what are you thinking? The entire Tai Ah Divine City’s hopes for the overall group match are resting on your shoulders.”
“Kid, let me tell you. The Yun Long Divine Kingdom’s young adult group has several people who are very strong. If you can just beat any one of those strong ones, or win five consecutive matches, I will get the City Lord to give you a saber!”
Cang Yan felt that Yi Yun was like a rabbit who did not worry until it saw an eagle coming, so he decided to bait him with some attractive prizes.
“Saber?” Yi Yun was slightly stunned.
Cang Yan smiled mysteriously, “Don’t be deceived by the City Lord’s scholarly appearance. He actually uses a saber. And the City Lord loves to collect all sorts of treasured sabers. His personal arsenal is filled with great sabers. If you can win five consecutive matches, you can pick any saber!”
“The City Lord’s collection?”
Yi Yun was tempted. The Sonic Deathblade he was currently using was taken from the Tai Ah Divine City’s armory. Although it was a good saber, it was much worse compared to those the City Lord collected.
He already had the mysterious broken sword, and as for his saber, it was indeed normal.
If he had a good saber to help him in his battles, his combat powers would go another step further!
But…actually, the broken sword was not something that could see the light of day. Yi Yun did not dare use it easily as it was one of his absolute trump cards. Therefore, he was lacking a sword as well.
Upon thinking of this, Yi Yun glanced at Cang Yan, and grinned, “About that…Senior Cang Yan, why not give me a sword too. Elder Jian Ge likes collecting swords, right?”
