Immortality Cultivation: I can use my clansmen’s energy and blood to add points.

This mysterious man stood on the other side of the ring, his figure seemed to blend into the surrounding shadows, making him elusive.

He wore a black mask on his face, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes, exuding an air of arrogance and coldness.

Luo Chen's eyes were fixed on the mysterious man, and an unprecedented sense of challenge arose in his heart.

He knew that this opponent was no ordinary person.

The appearance of the mysterious man made the atmosphere of the entire fighting arena solemn.

The audience whispered to each other, speculating about his identity and strength.

Luo Chen took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, and prepared to meet the upcoming challenge.

The gong sounded again, and Luo Chen and the mysterious man jumped onto the stage almost at the same time.

The two men were several meters apart, facing each other.

The mysterious man's eyes were as sharp as a cheetah's. Luo Chen remained calm as usual, but in his heart he was alert to every subtle movement of the other party.

The moment the game started, the mysterious man disappeared like a ghost. The next moment, he appeared on Luo Chen's left side and struck Luo Chen's vital point with a fierce palm.

Luo Chen reacted extremely quickly. He moved his body to the side and the tip of his sword slashed out, colliding with the palm wind, making a crisp sound.

The two men fought back and forth, with sword lights and palm shadows intertwined, and the audience could hardly distinguish their movements.

Luo Chen discovered that the mysterious man's body movements were strange and unpredictable, and his palm techniques were a combination of hardness and softness, with amazing power.

He realized that this was going to be a tough battle.

After a fierce confrontation, the tip of Luo Chen's sword brushed against the palm of the mysterious man, making a metallic collision sound.

Luo Chen felt a powerful internal force coming along the sword, almost making it impossible for him to hold the hilt.

But he did not back down, instead it aroused the fighting spirit deep in his heart.

He began to try to incorporate his understanding of kendo into combat, with each sword strike paying more attention to changes and the use of internal strength.

The mysterious man seemed to have sensed Luo Chen's changes, and his attack became more fierce, but Luo Chen was always able to find flaws and resolve the crisis at the critical moment.

As the battle continued, Luo Chen gradually found the rhythm of the mysterious man. He began to predict the opponent's attacks and react in advance.

Finally, after a clever sword move, Luo Chen's sword tip once again touched the mysterious man's chest. This time, he did not leave the other party any chance to counterattack.

The audience burst into warm applause and cheers again, and Luo Chen's victory won everyone's respect.

The mysterious man took off his mask, revealing a young and determined face. He nodded to Luo Chen as a sign of respect.

Luo Chen also smiled back, he knew that this battle not only made him stand out in the martial arts conference, more importantly, through the duel with the strong, he had a deeper understanding of the realm of "unity of mind and sword".

After jumping off the ring, Luo Chen couldn't help but feel emotional.

"It seems that there are quite a few strong people participating in this martial arts conference. It is easy to deal with now, but I don't know what will happen next?"

Luo Chen's thoughts were interrupted by the noise of the fighting arena. He looked up and saw more challengers jumping onto the stage and showing off their martial arts.

Everyone has his or her own unique skills, and every movement is full of power and beauty.

Luo Chen knew that this was just the beginning and the real challenge was still to come.

As the game progressed, Luo Chen began to notice some special opponents.

One of them is a female swordsman who wields dual swords. Her movements are as graceful as dancing. The dual swords seem to have life in her hands, and every swing carries deadly charm.

Luo Chen respected her skills, but he knew that if they met in the finals, he would have to give it his all.

Then, a thin man caught Luo Chen's attention.

He looked inconspicuous, but when he demonstrated his boxing skills in the ring, Luo Chen felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.

The man's boxing style seemed to be able to penetrate his opponent's defenses, and each punch contained great power.

Luo Chen began to observe each fight more carefully. He knew that he needed to learn from these opponents so that he could cope better in the next competition.

He began to simulate the confrontations with these strong men in his mind, thinking about how to use his own advantages and how to find the opponent's weaknesses in actual combat.

Finally, Luo Chen was summoned to the ring again.

His opponent was a tall monk holding a huge Zen staff.

The monk had a peaceful smile on his face, but Luo Chen knew that there was immense power hidden behind this smile.

When the game started, the monk did not rush to attack, but approached Luo Chen with a slow and steady pace.

Luo Chen felt an invisible pressure, as if every step the monk took was stepping on his heart.

He knew that this was a battle that would test his patience and will.

Luo Chen did not rush to take action, but waited for the best opportunity.

When the monk's staff swung towards him with the sound of wind, Luo Chen dodged at an almost impossible angle and launched a counterattack in an instant.

His swordsmanship was like flowing water, both soft and hard, forming a sharp contrast with the monk's fierceness.

The battle lasted for dozens of rounds, and both Luo Chen and the monks displayed extremely high martial arts skills.

Finally, after a wonderful sword move, Luo Chen's sword tip lightly touched the monk's brow, and the winner was decided.

As the competition progressed, Luo Chen gradually discovered that the martial arts conference was not just a martial arts competition, but also a communication platform among practitioners.

Here, he met all kinds of opponents, some of them were strong, some were flexible, and some were calm.

Luo Chen could learn something new from every battle, and his swordsmanship was constantly improving and perfecting.

Finally, the final battle of the martial arts tournament has arrived.

Luo Chen's opponent was a tall, bronze-skinned middle-aged man who emanated terrifying energy and blood from his entire body.

This person is not from Beihong City, but an outsider.

I heard that there is such a martial arts conference in Beihong City.

He came to the venue and joined in.

"what's your name?"

A deep voice suddenly sounded.

Luo Chen was slightly stunned, then replied calmly: "Luo Chen."

The middle-aged man nodded, with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "Luo Chen, your swordsmanship is good. My name is Tieshan, and I come from the distant Nanling. It is my honor to fight with you today."

Luo Chen nodded slightly, but he did not dare to be careless in his heart.

Tieshan's momentum was as heavy as a mountain, and his eyes revealed the sharpness and determination of a veteran in the battlefield.

When the gong sounded, the two men moved almost at the same time.

Although Tieshan's footwork was not as agile as his previous opponents, each step was steady and powerful, as if the earth was shaking under his feet.

His boxing style was simple and direct, but it contained amazing destructive power, and each punch seemed to be able to shatter rocks. Luo Chen's swordsmanship was particularly agile in Tieshan's boxing style. He used the lightness and speed of the sword to constantly find gaps in Tieshan's attack.

The tip of the sword collided with Tieshan's fist, making a sound of metal clashing and sparks flying.

The audience watched with bated breath; they could feel the tension and intensity of the duel.

Every confrontation between Luo Chen and Tie Shan makes people's heart beat faster, and the battle between them seems like a life-and-death contest.

As time went on, Luo Chen began to feel the pressure.

Tieshan's punches seemed to be getting faster and stronger.

Although Luo Chen's swordsmanship was flexible, it gradually became a bit strenuous under Tieshan's pressure.

However, Luo Chen did not give up.

He took a deep breath and integrated his understanding of kendo and the state of "unity of mind and sword" into the battle.

His swordsmanship began to become more fluent, and each attack became more precise.

Finally, in a clever counterattack, Luo Chen's sword tip scratched Tieshan's shoulder, leaving a shallow blood mark.

Tieshan was slightly stunned, then he smiled approvingly.

"Good swordsmanship!"

Tieshan shouted loudly, and his fist changed and became more ferocious.

But Luo Chen has found the rhythm, his swordsmanship is as smooth as flowing water, complementing Tieshan's boxing skills.

The two men fought back and forth on the ring, and the battle became fierce.

Finally, after a superb sword move, Luo Chen's sword tip touched Tieshan's chest again. This time, Tieshan did not move.

The audience was silent for a moment, and then broke into thunderous applause and cheers.

Luo Chen won. He defeated the powerful opponent with his strength and wisdom.

Tieshan walked up to Luo Chen and stretched out his hand: "You win, Luo Chen."

"Your swordsmanship really opens my eyes."

Luo Chen held Tieshan's hand and said with a smile: "Senior Tieshan, your boxing skills have also benefited me a lot."

The two smiled at each other, and each learned something valuable from the other.

Luo Chen knew that this victory was not only a personal honor, but also an important breakthrough in his sword practice.

The martial arts conference finally came to an end, and Luo Chen's name was engraved in the martial arts history of Beihong City.

Not only did he prove his own strength, but more importantly, through the confrontation with the strong, his understanding of kendo reached a new level.

Luo Chen stood on the stage, looking at the cheering crowd, his heart filled with gratitude and pride.

He knew that this was just a milestone in his martial arts career and that there was still a long way to go. He would continue to move forward and constantly explore the ultimate in kendo.

With the end of the martial arts conference, Luo Chen also left quietly.

Although there are some rewards for winning the first place in the martial arts competition, those rewards are not enough for Luo Chen.
It seems that it is not that important.

Plus, Luo Chen was rather annoyed by that kind of atmosphere.

So he just left.

The streets of Beihongcheng are still extremely bustling and prosperous.

People were chatting excitedly about the martial arts conference.

Luo Chen was alone, walking silently on this bustling street.

He moved among the crowd at a leisurely pace, as if out of tune with the hustle and bustle around him.

Although he felt happy about the victory he had just won, he was more thinking about and looking forward to the future.

He walked through the crowd and came to a quiet garden in Beihong City.

This is his favorite place to come because it has a rare tranquility.

Luo Chen sat on a bluestone, closed his eyes, and began to recall the battle just now. Every detail flashed through his mind like a picture.

He began to reflect on his swordsmanship, thinking about how to better use his advantages in actual combat and how to find flaws in the opponent's offensive.

He understands that every victory is not accidental, but the result of his continuous efforts and progress.

At this moment, a gentle voice interrupted his thoughts: "Luo Chen, you are here."

Luo Chen opened his eyes and saw an old man in simple Taoist robes looking at him with a smile.

This old man was a hermit master in Beihong City, named Yun Yi. Luo Chen had asked him for advice on martial arts many times.

"Senior Yun Yi, why are you here?"

Luo Chen stood up and bowed respectfully.

Yun Yi gently waved his hand, indicating that Luo Chen did not need to be polite, and then slowly said: "I heard that you shined in the martial arts conference, so I came to see you specially."

"Your swordsmanship has improved a lot, I am very pleased."

Luo Chen answered modestly: "It is because of the good teachings of our predecessors that I can achieve so much."

Yun Yi smiled, then said seriously: "Luo Chen, the road of martial arts is long and difficult. Although you have achieved certain achievements, you must not be complacent. A true master grows up in constant challenges."

Luo Chen listened carefully and secretly took note of Yun Yi's words in his heart.

Yun Yi continued, "I have a sword manual here, which I obtained when I was traveling around the world when I was young. It records some profound sword techniques and experiences. I think it's time for you to learn these contents."

Luo Chen was shocked when he heard this. He knew very well that Yun Yi's sword manual was extraordinary. It was undoubtedly a great opportunity for him to be able to obtain such an inheritance.

Yun Yi took out a yellowed ancient book from his bosom and handed it to Luo Chen: "Study it carefully when you go back, but remember, the practice of swordsmanship focuses on the mind, and you must not be greedy for more and faster."

Luo Chen took the sword manual with both hands and nodded solemnly: "Junior will keep it in mind."

Yun Yi nodded, turned and left, leaving Luo Chen alone in the garden, his heart full of expectations for the future and persistent pursuit of kendo.

Luo Chen returned to his residence and couldn't wait to open the sword manual and read it carefully page by page.

The contents of the sword manual are profound and difficult to understand, but Luo Chen gradually comprehended the essence of it with his solid foundation and love for kendo.

Day after day, under the guidance of the sword manual, Luo Chen continued to practice and comprehend, his sword skills became more and more advanced, and his understanding of the swordsmanship became more and more profound. He began to try to integrate the swordsmanship in the sword manual into his own swordsmanship and create his own swordsmanship style.

"Kendo always needs innovation."

"What will my sword art be?"

"Fast? Heavy? Stable? Or, absolute lethality?"

Luo Chen pondered this question over and over in his mind. He began to try various sword techniques, trying to find the style that best suited his swordsmanship. (End of this chapter)
