Zhu Tian: Becoming a Sword Master from Martial Arts

Chapter 155: Weak Ying Huanhuan

“Whether you win or lose, the most important thing is to gain something from it and to break through yourself. Sometimes, even, defeat is more memorable than victory.”

As Lin Xuan spoke, he shook his head with regret and sighed softly.

"If I win too many times, I will lose my way. Sometimes, I hope someone can give me a defeat!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the many Dao Sect disciples who had been listening carefully to Lin Xuan's teachings all turned strange.

But in their eyes, Lin Xuan had a serious and regretful expression on his face. Obviously, he really wanted to be defeated, but unfortunately, no one had ever been able to defeat the Sword Saint so far.

At this time, everyone was horrified to discover one thing. It seemed that no matter how powerful the opponent was, the Sword Master would not fail. Ying Huanhuan was the most shocked.

Unlike these Dao Sect disciples, Ying Huanhuan knew a lot about Lin Xuan’s past from Lin Dong. He was a war god who was able to face the Demon Hell King Palace and not be defeated even when he was in Nirvana Realm.

At this moment, looking at the figure who seemed to be somewhat lonely and wanted to be defeated, Ying Huanhuan actually had an illusion, as if, no matter what strong man he faced, it seemed that the man in front of him would not fail.

In fact, Lin Xuan was just casually expressing his feelings and sharing some of his insights on the path of cultivation with these Taoist disciples.

Since he started practicing, Lin Xuancai has never experienced the taste of a miserable defeat. The reason why he said this is entirely because he has been a little confused recently and just can't see clearly which way to go in the future.

In Lin Xuan's opinion, failure is not only not a bad thing, it is even a good thing, because when you fail, you will know what aspects you can do better in. Is it because your sword is not fast enough, not accurate enough, not fierce enough, or your reaction is too slow?

Once you fail, you will be able to find countless directions, so that you can choose your own way and keep going.

As he had always won, he felt like he was standing on the top of a mountain, surrounded by a vast sea of ​​clouds and unable to see where the road ahead led. That was why Lin Xuan was so eager to fight with Ling Qingzhu. Being at the same level, the pressure from the opponent was indeed great, allowing Lin Xuan to see more different things.

In fact, if the power belonging to the Ice Lord in Ying Huanhuan's body were also awakened, Lin Xuan would also be happy to see the Ice Lord's methods.

"Let the competition continue."

Lin Xuan spoke softly, then picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip of the tea, and even gestured to Ying Huanhuan before putting the teacup down. Ying Huanhuan wanted to laugh when she saw this. This guy was only afraid of her in these aspects.

At this moment, several figures landed. They were disciples of the Desolate Palace. They went to call over Lin Dong, who had been relatively free recently.

"Big Brother!"

Lin Dong clasped his fists and saluted to Lin Xuan who was sitting in the main seat, and then greeted Qi Lei, Chen Zhen and others. Lin Xuan nodded slightly, and when he was about to speak, he turned his head slightly and looked into the distance. A stream of light flashed by and finally landed. It turned out that Ying Xiaoxiao was also called over.

The moment he saw Ying Xiaoxiao, the pupils of the Hongya Cave Master shrank slightly. He obviously did not expect that Ying Xiaoxiao, who was rumored to have been in seclusion for two months, would come out at this time. It was not known whether he happened to come out at this time, or whether he came out early just to deal with their Hongya Cave disciples.

But no matter which one it is, it seems that this trip to visit the mountain will not end well for them.

Originally, the master of Hongya Cave wanted to take advantage of the opportunity when Dao Zong's most core disciples were in seclusion preparing for the palace examination, in order to step on Dao Zong and promote the name of their Hongya Cave.

No matter what, their Hongya Cave is also one of the top super sects under the eight super sects, and its strength is equally good. Although the quality of its disciples is not as good as that of Dao Sect, the strength of its top disciples is second only to the chief of the three halls of Dao Sect. It is not as good as the best, but better than the worst.

It just so happened that at this time, Dao Sect's most outstanding disciples were in seclusion, which gave them a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation. As a result, Ying Xiaoxiao, who was the number one person in Dao Sect, actually came out of seclusion at this time.

"call out!"

At this moment, another streak of light flashed by, and finally, it fell heavily on the ground, creating a small hole on the platform.

"boom!"

After the smoke and dust cleared, a gray-robed figure emerged. The most eye-catching thing was the man with messy long hair, who was carrying a black sword on his back. The sword was as tall as a man, and he exuded an extremely powerful and cold aura.

"That's... Wang Yan!"

Qi Lei's pupils shrank slightly, and then he spoke in a complicated tone. Chen Zhen on the side couldn't help but reach out and pat Qi Lei's shoulder gently. Qi Lei shook his head slightly, and then explained to Lin Xuan.

"Sword Saint, this is a disciple of our Heavenly Palace, and his sister is the previous senior sister of our Heavenly Palace!"

Lin Xuan's gaze fell on the young man with a somewhat cold and fierce aura. He nodded slightly and praised softly.

"Yes, he has excellent talent and a strong character, very good!"

Ying Huanhuan and Ying Xiaoxiao, who were standing together, looked at Wang Yan with a bit of apology and guilt in their eyes, and they even couldn't help but sigh softly.

Lin Dong, who was listening to Qi Lei's explanation silently, also had a complicated look in his eyes. Even though Lin Dong had just joined the sect, he had heard of the name of Senior Sister Wang Wei. It was a pity that she had been killed by the Yuan Sect back then, which was also one of the major blood feuds between Dao Sect and Yuan Sect.

Compared to Qi Lei and the others, the mood of the Lord of Hongya Cave was even more complicated. Originally, Ying Xiaoxiao was already a difficult problem. If things went wrong, all the disciples would have to defeat Ying Xiaoxiao alone. As a result, before the second half of the game started, another person, Wang Yan, whose strength had reached the Ninth Yuan Nirvana Realm, showed up. This...

The master of Hongya Cave clenched his hands that were gripping the armrests of the chair slightly, and couldn't help but force a smile on his face as he chuckled and exclaimed in admiration.

"Your sect is indeed one of the eight super sects. The disciples among you are indeed talented!"

"The disciples of Hongya Cave are not bad either. Moreover, talent is only one of the factors in cultivating. If your disciples practice diligently, they will surely achieve something in the future."

Lin Xuan responded softly, with some sincerity in his words, and even when he looked at those disciples, there was some admiration in his eyes.

After glancing at the master of Hongya Cave and seeing that there seemed to be no movement, Lin Xuan spoke again.

“In that case, let’s continue.” Upon hearing this, the disciples of Hongya Cave couldn’t help but turn their heads to look at the master of Hongya Cave. The latter just smiled and nodded, and didn’t seem to be dissatisfied with the impending defeat.

After getting a response from the master of Hongya Cave, a tall woman in red stood up, her eyes fixed directly on Ying Huanhuan who was standing next to Ying Xiaoxiao. Among the remaining Taoist disciples, Ying Huanhuan seemed to be the weakest and should be easier to deal with.

Seeing that the other party had actually chosen her as his opponent, Ying Huanhuan showed a slight smile on her face. She stepped forward and saw the woman named Song Yan coming forward and taking out a fiery red whip. Then Ying Huanhuan flipped her hand and took out an icy long sword from her Qiankun bag.

Xuanbing Sword, a treasure of quasi-pure essence!
Looking at Ying Huanhuan's back, Lin Dong looked at the woman in red named Song Yan with a bit of pity in his eyes. This woman was really brave. She actually chose the strongest one among the remaining four people: him, Ying Huanhuan, Ying Xiaoxiao and Wang Yan. It must be said that her vision was indeed impressive.

"This sword actually has the attribute of ice. Tsk tsk, it seems that the Ice Lord is not going to let us win!"

Yan's gloating voice just happened to ring in Lin Dong's mind, but it was soon drowned out by another voice.

"Old man, don't block my way. Hehe, that evildoer is really bold. He actually dared to give the Ice Lord a magic treasure with ice attribute. Isn't he afraid that the Ice Lord will be revived directly? However, I have to say that the evildoer is really perverted. In terms of the level of treasure refining, I am afraid he is not worse than that old man Xuantian, right?"

After hearing Huangwu's voice, Yan couldn't help but shrink his neck and retreated back. When Huangwu was wondering, he felt a pair of eyes falling on him. He turned around and was instantly shocked.

"Why is this lunatic looking at me? Could he hear me talking?"

“Senior Huangwu, Lin Xuan did not intend to eavesdrop. It was just that the senior’s voice accidentally reached Lin Xuan’s ears.”

This was the true statement. Lin Xuan did not deliberately eavesdrop, but Huang Wu's voice was so loud that Lin Xuan could directly sense the powerful fluctuations.

"what?"

Huang Wu was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, he directly escaped back into Lin Dong's body, not daring to show up again. Lin Dong probably hid back in the ancestral stone and went to find trouble with Yan.

After Lin Xuan withdrew his calm gaze, he turned to look at the two people who had not yet fought in the arena. Lin Dong didn't know if he was hallucinating, but he actually felt that Lin Xuan seemed to have smiled just now.

In the field, Ying Huanhuan had a sweet smile on her face. She looked at Song Yan opposite her and said softly.

"Since you are here to pay your respects, as half the host, I should be more humble, so you should make the first move!"

Song Yan on the opposite side had a serious look on her face. She originally thought that she had chosen the weakest opponent, but now it seems that this opponent is also not simple.

According to the intelligence specially collected by the cave master, among the four people, Ying Huanhuan's strength is only higher than Lin Dong, not to mention Ying Xiaoxiao. Although Wang Yan is not in the intelligence, Song Yan can still sense the other party's strength of the Ninth Yuan Nirvana Realm, and the aura on his body is also very terrifying.

Compared to Lin Dong, who mastered the Great Desolate Scripture, which is known as the first of the four great scriptures of Taoist sect, Ying Huanhuan, who has not successfully practiced any of the four great scriptures, seems to be the weakest.

But now, facing Ying Huanhuan, Song Yan felt pressure everywhere. This seemingly weak opponent actually gave Song Yan a feeling of being unfathomable.

Seeing that Song Yan didn't seem to have any intention of taking action, Ying Huanhuan smiled slightly and spoke softly.

"If you don't take action, I'm going to attack!"

As soon as Ying Huanhuan finished speaking, the invisible feeling of oppression on her body suddenly intensified, causing Song Yan's face to change slightly and his eyes to focus.

The next moment, Song Yan gritted his teeth and swung the red whip in his hand. The whip immediately turned into a long and narrow fire snake and shot towards Ying Huanhuan.

Facing Song Yan's attack that was full of loopholes, a smile flashed in Ying Huanhuan's eyes, but she did not dodge or evade, just stood there in a daze.

Just when the long whip was about to hit him, Ying Huanhuan rolled over and not only avoided the whip, but what Song Yan didn't expect was that Ying Huanhuan, who rolled over, actually stepped directly on the long whip.

The long whip with a slight arc paused slightly under Ying Huanhuan's feet, and the force was directly transmitted to the soles of Ying Huanhuan's feet, causing Ying Huanhuan, who was suspended in the air, to instantly shoot towards Song Yan himself.

This scene made Lin Xuan's eyes show a bit of surprise. Such reaction speed was worthy of the Ice Lord. He was able to find the weak point on the long whip in that instant, and he was able to use the flying long whip to quickly approach the opponent.

In contrast, the eyes of the master of Hongya Cave were much more solemn. If Song Yan didn't react in time to Ying Huanhuan's move, he would probably be defeated in one move...

The thought of the Lord of Hongya Cave had not yet completely flashed through his mind when his pupils suddenly shrank. He looked in shock at Ying Huanhuan who was holding the sword against Song Yan's neck, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

At that moment just now, Song Yan's reaction seemed to be suddenly frozen, causing him to miss the most critical opportunity and be killed by Ying Huanhuan with one sword!

"oh!!"

Seeing Ying Huanhuan defeat his opponent so easily, the group of Dao Sect disciples around him instantly burst into cheers.

One move! Just one move!
"Hiss! Senior Sister's strength is becoming more and more terrifying!"

Lin Dong couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, while Yan and Huangwu curled their lips. That was the Ice Lord, how could he be weak?

Ying Huanhuan looked at Song Yan who had a dazed look on her face in front of her. After retracting the sword in her hand, she turned around, smiled gently at Lin Xuan, and even winked at him playfully.

However, a serious look flashed across Lin Xuan's face, and there seemed to be other expressions flickering in the depths of his eyes.

At that moment just now, if Lin Xuan sensed it correctly, that breath should be the breath of ice attribute. Although it was not the energy of the Ice Lord, it was equivalent to the way of ice that the Ice Lord had comprehended.

Could it be that Ying Huanhuan has begun to awaken the Ice Lord's inheritance on her own? If that's the case, there will be one more opponent to fight with in the future!
