"I am Yang Feng from Fire Cloud State, I ask for your guidance."
He quickly landed on the Glazed Fairy Platform, greeted the people around him with a fist in his hand.
"From Fire Cloud State?"
So people first seed slightly stunned, then chuckled, but quickly restrained themselves.
The Linjiang Immortal eting has been held several tis, and a curious individual once did a statistic, finding that among the 365 states in Shuntian Capital, there were six states that never had a genius participate in the Linjiang Immortal eting, and were privately nicknad as the Six Fish Belly States.
Fire Cloud State was one of the Six Fish Belly States.
"The great genius from Fire Cloud State is here, I am Tang Yicheng from Wood State, at your service."
Intentionally or coincidentally, the young man nad Tang Yicheng, who was also a blade-user, acted arrogantly and was slightly mocking in the face.
"I’ve never fought with soone from Fire Cloud State before, you must be the number one genious from Fire Cloud State, I hope you won’t disappoint too much."
From the vigorous air that Yang Feng released earlier, Tang Yicheng knew that his opponent was a first-stage practitioner in Dragon Gate Realm, and he was thrilled by it. Being the first person to defeat a genius from Fire Cloud State was considered a not too big nor small record.
Yang Feng’s expression changed when he heard about the so-called Six Fish Belly States, and then he said: "Watch my move!"
Shua.
A fine blue blade light quickly stretched out in the air, when it reached thirty ters in length, it was shot out in a crescent shape, this process was completed in a flash.
Dang!
Dang! Dang! Dang!
It seed like a blade light, but when Tang Yicheng’s blade t Yang Feng’s Lightning Blade, it exploded with a series of clangs. The sound made many people on the boat hearing impaired, feeling like being punctured by needles.
"Interesting."
Tang Yicheng slightly put away his contempt.
When a master takes action, you’ll know. Yang Feng has clearly reached the perfect state of unity between man and blade, which allowed him to blend several attacks into one, making it hard to defend against.
"Starlight Wave Slash!"
With a stride, Tang Yicheng took a casual swing, the magnificent blade light was condensed into a stream, looking like a teor falling from the sky, breaking through the wind and waves, to kill Yang Feng several ters away.
The place where the blade light passed, the Glazed Fairy Platform was not destroyed, but the surface of the river under the platform ford a one-inch deep mark, straight as an arrow, causing small ripples around it.
"Yicheng’s peak Star Intent?"
After several flashes to avoid, Yang Feng’s face was solemn.
For most geniuses, it is hard to understand Intent before the age of thirty. Only the best of the best can understand True Intent.
And only a very few people among them can comprehend top-level True Intent, which can be called state-level geniuses.
The martial arts level of Wood State is in the middle of the pack in Shuntian Capital, and Tang Yicheng is ranked third among the geniuses in the state.
The two blade-users attacked back and forth, each ti their blade energies collided, they always caused small disturbances on the surface of the river.
After several hundred strokes, Yang Feng gradually fell to a disadvantage.
In addition to his cultivation level, his overall qualities are lower than Tang Yicheng’s. From everyone’s perspective, losing was just a matter of ti.
"If I lose to you, I might as well quit."
Tang Yicheng kept increasing the pressure, giving no chance for Yang Feng to catch a breather, laughing wildly in his heart.
While at a disadvantage, Yang Feng caught a glimpse of Shi Xiaole. His calm deanor in the sky was like a cool breeze that cleared his chaotic and anxious mind.
"What I admire most about Brother Shi is his cool-headedness at all tis. Even if I can’t learn that, I should at least try to imitate it. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be worthy of calling myself his friend."
Yang Feng took a deep breath, focused his eyes, fought off his opponent’s attacks while secretly observing him.
Not long after, he suddenly noticed that Tang Yicheng’s right foot was always slightly slower than his left when he moved. Looking at his attacks, more than 70% of them were launched from his left waist, as if he deliberately reduced the force on his right.
Yang Feng gritted his teeth and began to adjust his strategy accordingly. Regardless of Tang Yicheng’s moves, he would always strike back from his right, consistenly.
"Idiot, do you really think my right foot is no good?"
After five hundred more strokes, Tang Yicheng’s eyes popped up, his right foot suddenly pushed forward, kicking at a speed much faster than his left, like a lightning bolt, leaving a black streak of starlight in the air.
His right foot was slower than his left, not because it had a defect or because his left foot was stronger, it was just a flaw he deliberately showed to confuse his opponent. His right leg was his true trump card!
"Reverse Lightning!"
With a big shout, Yang Feng’s upward slashing blade suddenly stopped, and then he slamd it down in the opposite direction, just to et Tang Yicheng’s leg attack.
This move was specially created for him by his newly acknowledged master, and its power was even greater than his Cross Lightning Slash.
Swoosh...
In the collision sound, the blue blade light was shattered like glass, scattered in all directions. And Tang Yicheng’s starlight leg strength was also weakened, in the end, the kick landed on Yang Feng, the remaining vigorous air only caused the latter’s blood to surge.
"Shoulder Blade!"
Unexpectedly, just at that mont, the retreating Yang Feng took a deep breath, spat out a mouthful of blood, and hit Tang Yicheng hard in the chest with his shoulder. Thump, Tang Yicheng was like a rag bag, rolling for dozens of ters.
"Are you trying to fight to the death?"
Tang Yicheng stood up, looking absolutely awful.
From start to finish, he was in the advantageous position, didn’t expect that due to his carelessness, such a thing happened in the end.
"In a martial arts exchange, it’s only natural to give our all."
Yang Feng said.
Tang Yicheng held his knife, intending to rush forward again. But at that mont, the old man known as the ’Iron-faced Ruthless’ sat in Fang Wanwan’s ship cabin and proclaid: "This round is considered a draw."
Tang Yicheng gritted his teeth in anger, his expression changing up several tis, but eventually, he had to fly back to his own ship. If he hadn’t been overconfident, he was confident he could have defeated Yang Feng, rather than being forced to a draw. However, the referee had made his decision, and he dared not defy him.
"Even a lion exerted full strength when it hunts a rabbit! This Tang Yicheng is really stupid. If it was a battle to the death, he’d be dead already. "
In the fleet of Xuanwu State geniuses’ ships, a sissy-like young man sneered again and again.
"Senior Brother Zhuo, with your skill, wouldn’t it be easy for you to defeat those two just now, in maybe less than ten moves?"
Several young n and won asked.
"Ten moves? Ha ha."
Zhuo Feifan twirled the wine glass in his hand.
If it took him ten moves to defeat those two, he might as well go ho and practice. Would he still qualify to set the three top geniuses as his goals?
"Brother Yang, congratulations."
Shi Xiaole laughed as soon as he saw Yang Feng return.
To be honest, Yang Feng’s performance was sowhat unexpected. Compared to their encounter at the Jade Sword Palace, Yang Feng’s strength and combat experience had increased by more than just a notch.
Yang Feng was also laughing.
He suddenly didn’t want to tell Shi Xiaole that it was because he saw him that his mind cald down and was able to spot the flaws in Tang Yicheng’s moves.
After Yang Feng, a young man nad Lai Ling from Chi State appeared on the stage.
"Chi State, another one from the Fish Belly Six States. What’s going on this year, are the Fish Belly Six States going to turn into the Fish Belly Four States?"
"I wonder how good this Lai Ling is."
In recent years, talents have erged in large numbers all over the country. Both in terms of quality and quantity, they far surpass those of the past decade.
So say this is a change in the martial world; the vigour accumulated over hundreds of years will collectively erupt in this generation, reviving the flourishing scene of the ancient martial world.
Under everyone’s gaze, a young man nad Wen Wei rushed out first.
Boom, boom, boom.
Without any nonsense, the two imdiately engaged in intense combat.
Fifteen moves.
Just fifteen moves, and Wen Wei, who is at the peak of the first level of the Dragon Gate Realm, was sent flying with one palm strike by Lai Ling.
"What’s happening?"
"This Lai Ling’s strength probably ranks him in the top ten even among the ten strongest states."
From the previous battles and the rumors in the martial world, everyone understood one cruel fact — half of the talented geniuses from the top ten states can easily defeat the number one genius from other states.
And in Xuanwu State, there are at least dozens of people who can defeat the top genius of the top ten strong states.
In this strict hierarchy, the geniuses from Fish Belly States are undoubtedly at the very bottom.
It was already surprising enough that Yang Feng managed to force Tang Yicheng to a draw just now, and now Lai Ling easily defeated Wen Wei. It was like a depth charge that had astonished many.
"This is probably the first ti in the history of the Linjiang Fairy Convention where a genius from the Fish Belly States has won. In this sense, Lai Ling has made history."
"I rember that the famous Four Seas Retribution God, though not from the Fish Belly States, wasn’t much better than them. With him as the figurehead, could this be a sign of rise for the weaker states?"
The crowd of prodigies was bustling with discussions, and even on Fang Wanwan’s ship, the famous old seniors of the martial world began to chat about it.
"Weak states are weak states. Apart from the Four Seas Retribution God, do they have any other prominent figures?"
All of a sudden, a burst of arrogant laughter echoed across the sky. It ca from a young man in a green robe. His thick eyebrows joined together, giving off an extrely rugged impression.
Clang!
With the sa second-level cultivation of the Dragon Gate Realm, the young man in green swung an eight-foot iron rod. The iron rod was covered in inverted sharp spikes, cutting the air like a honeycomb, making a hair-raising noise.
In this round, the young man in green also won in sixteen moves.
Most people could tell that this was not a coincidence, but rather the young man in green intentionally did this to humiliate his opponent.
"Although I admit I’m not a match for the Four Seas Retribution God, apart from him, I fear no genius of the Fish Belly States – Challenge , if you dare!"
The young man in green beckoned with his hand, his face showing disdain.
"What an arrogant guy, I’m going to teach him a lesson!"
On a ship in the southwest, a young man in brocade jumped to his feet.
"You’re not his match."
Next to him sat a man of ordinary appearance, but with an exceptionally straight nose. His skin was sowhat rough, but his eyes were alarmingly clear, like a pure pool of water. It was so clean that one couldn’t fathom its depth.
"But, I really can’t stand his arrogant attitude. Retribution God, why don’t you go and teach him a lesson?"
The young man in brocade sat back down, looking expectant.
"No need."
The Four Seas Retribution God shook his head.
Just as the young man in brocade was about to feel disappointed, he saw a graceful figure whip out from another ship out of the corner of his eyes.
