I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 256: Less than %, one percent of one percent! (Please subscribe, please vote)
The venue was too large, and Luo Yong really couldn't find Li Chen.

At this moment, the referee's voice sounded again: "Group one, Luo Yong versus Gao Jingnian, both of you please come on stage!"

When Luo Yong heard his name, his heart tightened, but he quickly calmed down.

He stepped onto the arena with a determined gaze and steady steps.

However, as soon as he stood still, a burst of warm cheers suddenly broke out from the audience. The sound waves swept over like a tsunami, causing his eardrums to hurt.

Luo Yong was slightly stunned and thought to himself: This cheering should not be for me, right?

Sure enough, the next second, a figure slowly walked onto the arena from the other side.

The man was dressed in white with fluttering sleeves, looking like an immortal.

He had a handsome face, with a sharp sword intent between his brows, like a sword drawn from its sheath, its edge fully exposed.

With every step he took, it seemed as if sword energy surged under his feet, and the sound of swords could be faintly heard in the air. Even above his head, clouds seemed to gather and form a faint sword-shaped shadow.

"It's Gao Jingnian, the 'Sky Sword Master' of the Cang Qiong Sword Sect!" someone in the audience exclaimed.

"Oh my god, it's Gao Jingnian! He is the third seeded player in this sword fighting competition!"

"I heard that his sword power has been passed down from the master of the Sky Sword Sect, and his strength is unfathomable!"

"Who is Luo Yong? How come I've never heard of him? He actually faced Gao Jingnian in the first round. This is too unlucky!"

There was a constant stream of discussion in the audience, and almost everyone focused their attention on Gao Jingnian, as if Luo Yong was just an insignificant foil.

Gao Jingnian walked onto the martial arts arena, glanced at Luo Yong with contempt, then looked up at Jun Zhantian on the referee's bench, a confident smile appeared on his lips, and he said in a loud voice: "Jun Shenzi, I will deal with these ants first, and then I will meet you. I hope your strength is as great as your fame!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was in an uproar!

"Fuck! Gao Jingnian actually dared to provoke Jun Zhantian!"

"This is too crazy! Has he already announced that he will win this competition?"

"As expected of the Sky Sword Sect's 'Sky Sword Master', he is indeed domineering!"

"This sentence is really pretentious! Show off to me!"

The audience instantly exploded, and countless people stared with their eyes wide open, unable to believe that Gao Jingnian dared to provoke Jun Zhantian in public.

You know, Jun Zhantian is the son of God of Guixu Wuya Sect. His strength is unfathomable and he is known as the final BOSS of this sword-fighting conference.

Facing Gao Jingnian's provocation, Jun Zhantian just laughed and leaned lazily on his chair, with a bit of disdain in his tone: "Okay! Then the Son of God will reward you with a defeat!"

He didn't expect that someone would dare to challenge him.

But pretending to be cool is just a basic operation of the Son of God.

When these words were spoken, the whole audience was shocked again!

Everyone was thinking that Jun Zhantian was worthy of being the Son of God, he could pretend to be so natural!

The atmosphere in the audience was instantly ignited, and everyone was looking forward to the showdown between Gao Jingnian and Jun Zhantian.

As for Luo Yong? Almost no one paid attention to him, as if he was just a background figure in this duel.

The disciples of the Cang Qiong Sword Sect began to cheer for Gao Jingnian, and people in the audience were also discussing Gao Jingnian. Those who were familiar with Gao Jingnian were frantically talking about Gao Jingnian's battle achievements, shocking those outsiders.

One even felt sad for Gao Jingnian's mediocre opponent. It would be strange if he didn't lose when he was matched with such a strong opponent in the first round. Gao Jingnian's fame was also growing wildly.

Gao Jingnian sneered when he heard Jun Zhantian's response, then he looked at the other contestants with contempt, and said with a bit of sarcasm in his tone: "Hurry up and fight, the purpose of your existence is just to make the so-called top 100."

As soon as these words were spoken, the contestants in the audience went wild.

This guy just provoked Jun Zhantian, and then he directly opened the map cannon to taunt him, with the taunt value maximum.

"Gao Jingnian, you are pretending to be your mother! In the next round, I will beat the shit out of you, and you will be considered to have done it cleanly!" An angry voice came from the audience. It was Wei Yuanping, the 'Crying Blood Sword' of Tianku Sword Tomb.

As the second seed in this sword-fighting competition, his strength should not be underestimated.

"Gao Jingnian, you should be thankful that this is a martial arts arena, otherwise I would shove my sword into your butt!" Another contestant couldn't help but curse.

It seems that the ancient practitioners in the eastern part of the Tiance Dynasty also curse people in a simple and plain way.

The contestants in the audience were cursing angrily. If the referee hadn't stopped them, someone would have rushed onto the stage to fight with Gao Jingnian.

Faced with the abuse from the crowd, Gao Jingnian just sneered and didn't care.

A strong person has to endure these slanders.

His eyes fell on Luo Yong again, and his tone was a little contemptuous: "You still have a chance to surrender now, I don't want to waste time."

Luo Yong took a deep breath, clenched the sword in his hand, looked at Gao Jingnian firmly, and said in a deep voice: "Come on, let me learn the skills of 'Sky Swordsman'!"

Luo Yong is a genius after all. The contestants in the audience are all discussing that they will defeat Gao Jingnian after a few rounds. Does that mean I will definitely lose?
Okay, then I will show you that I, Luo Yong, am not a soft persimmon that can be bullied by anyone!
Gao Jingnian smiled disdainfully upon hearing this, and slowly drew out the long sword from his waist, pointing the tip of the sword directly at Luo Yong: "I'll finish you off in three moves."

The whole place fell silent instantly, everyone held their breath, waiting for the duel to begin, or in other words, to see if Luo Yong could last three rounds.

Perhaps three rounds is Luo Yong’s limit.

While everyone was looking forward to it, the game had already started.

In the martial arts arena, sword energy was everywhere and sword light was like a rainbow.

Gao Jingnian held a long sword, the blade was as sharp as lightning, and every move was carried with a sharp sword intent, as if to tear the air apart.

His swordsmanship was outstanding, his moves were sharp and precise, and he perfectly inherited the domineering characteristics of the sect's swordsmanship. The sword force swept towards Luo Yong like a violent storm.

Although Luo Yong was an expert swordsman, he seemed to be overwhelmed by Gao Jingnian's attack.

He barely managed to block two attacks, but every time the swords collided, he felt a huge force coming from the sword, which made his arms numb and his steps retreat repeatedly.

Gao Jingnian had already figured out his moves, and he felt powerless. "Luo Yong is good, but unfortunately he was unlucky and met Gao Jingnian in the first round." Someone in the audience shook his head and sighed.

"Yes, his swordsmanship is pretty good, but compared to Gao Jingnian, the gap is too big."

"It's good to be in the top 100, but that's all."

The audience's discussions reached Luo Yong's ears, and he couldn't help but feel unwilling.

Luo Yong already knows the difference. The reputation of 'Sky Swordsman' is well-deserved, so I'm going to cheat.

Thinking of this, Luo Yong injected energy into the sword.

"Next move, I'll kill you."

Gao Jingnian's voice came coldly, and his sword's momentum suddenly changed, and the sword tip pierced Luo Yong's chest like lightning.

At the moment when Gao Jingnian's sword was about to pierce Luo Yong, Luo Yong's body seemed to be controlled by an invisible force. His sword force suddenly changed, and with a slight lift of the sword tip, he completely dissolved Gao Jingnian's sword force.

Gao Jingnian's face changed drastically. He didn't expect that Luo Yong's swordsmanship would become so exquisite in an instant.

He snorted coldly, and the sword's momentum changed again. The sword edge swept over like a strong wind, and each sword carried a more fierce sword intent, as if to suppress Luo Yong completely.

But at this moment, Luo Yong's swordsmanship seemed to become extremely mysterious, so mysterious that no one could understand the pattern of his moves, but every sword was just right to break Gao Jingnian's offensive.

His sword moves as smoothly as flowing clouds and water, and the sword tip moves like a snake, and he actually broke Gao Jingnian's sword techniques one by one.

"You kid is pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger!"

Gao Jingnian was furious and the sword's momentum changed again, with the tip of the sword slashing towards Luo Yong like thunder.

It can be seen that this guy even used his killing moves.

Luo Yong remained silent, not because he was trying to hide his talent, but because he really didn't understand how his opponent's sword moves were broken.

It was as if the sword had become one with himself, and it was the sword that was fighting, not him.

In the past, sword masters used the sword as if it were their own arm. This is the unity of man and sword.

But Luo Yong has now become the carrier of this sword, and has also achieved the unity of man and sword, but the former is active, while he is passive.
Seizing Gao Jingnian's weakness, Luo Yong lightly lifted the tip of his sword and actually knocked Gao Jingnian's sword directly away.

Ding!
The long sword fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

The whole place fell silent instantly, and everyone stared with their eyes wide open, unable to believe what they were seeing.

In the referee's booth, the referee was stunned for a moment, then announced loudly: "Luo Yong wins!"

The whole place was in an uproar!

Everyone was shocked by this sudden reversal.

On the rostrum, the leaders of the five major sword sects also showed surprised expressions.

The leader of Liuyun Sword Pavilion, Yun Yufu, said coldly: "This Luo Yong is hiding very well. He pretended to be an ordinary swordsman at the beginning and figured out Gao Jingnian's attack habits. Once he figured it out, he could see through any of Gao Jingnian's moves."

Mo Wulei, the leader of the Sky-Crying Sword Tomb, shook his head and laughed, "This kid really acted like that. Even I thought he was just an ordinary sword cultivator at first. I didn't expect he would have such strength."

The leader of the Nether Sword Valley, Ye Wushang, sneered and said, "However, his method can only be used once. I'm afraid that subsequent contestants will not be fooled."

Ling Tianfeng, the leader of the Sky Sword Sect, frowned and said, "Gao Jingnian is still too careless. Wait and see how I deal with him when we get back."

In the referee's seat, Jun Zhantian also looked at Luo Yong in surprise.

He thought his opponent would be Gao Jingnian, but he didn't expect that the unknown Luo Yong would win.

Jun Zhantian whispered to himself: "Those few moves just now were really good, very much like the methods of a certain sword master. They looked disorganized, but the effect was very good. It seems that this kid's master is not simple."

But Jun Zhantian felt contempt for Luo Yong's behavior. In his opinion, if he had such ability, why not just fight fairly? Why cheat?

And now that you, Gao Jingnian, have lost, doesn't it seem like the conversation we had at the beginning was stupid?
Everyone in the audience was shocked by Luo Yong's performance.

No one expected that this ordinary guy actually hid such powerful strength.

"How is this possible? Luo Yong actually defeated Senior Brother Gao?"

"Gao Jingnian's defeat was not unfair, Luo Yong is indeed very strong!"

"It's going to be interesting now. The swordsman named Luo Yong might be able to make it into the top ten!"

"With those few moves just now, Luo Yong's swordsmanship is like a completely different person!"

Gao Jingnian stood on the martial arts field, breathing heavily, but he was not angry or frustrated because of losing the game.

He glanced at Luo Yong and said calmly, "You win."

After saying that, he turned around and left the martial arts arena in a cool manner, as if winning or losing didn't matter to him.

There are too many people here. If he behaves hysterically, it will be a catastrophic blow not only to himself but also to the sect.

As a disciple of the sect's top level, it is impossible for him to do such a shameful thing.

After stepping down, Luo Yong was still immersed in the battle just now and was deeply shocked.

He clearly felt that he did nothing, but the sword seemed to have its own consciousness and easily broke all of Gao Jingnian's moves.

At this time, the blue-clothed swordsman came over, patted Luo Yong on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, I didn't expect you to have this skill. You even defeated Gao Jingnian. I really underestimated you."

Luo Yong smiled bitterly and thought to himself: How can I be so awesome? It must be your Majesty's ability. It's not Gao Jingnian's fault that he lost to your Majesty!
However, there was one thing Luo Yong was curious about, which was how many levels of sword intent his Majesty Li Chen could unleash with the sword in his hand.

If Li Chen knew what he was thinking, he would definitely say: Less than 10%, it’s one percent of one percent!
