The Empress, disguised as Li Maozhen and the mistress of the Illusionary Sound Pavilion, also blushed. Her original aloof demeanor vanished, replaced by that of a young girl: "How could there be such a handsome man in this world? Could he be a celestial being descended from heaven?!"

Even Xiaolongnu and Wang Yuyan were slightly stunned, after all, Ye Ying's stunning beauty could be said to be irresistible to both men and women, a beauty that even men could not resist...

However, it was clear that handsome men were practically invisible to Shen Jianxin. He ignored Ye Ying's repeated attempts to open and close his eyes, and after a brief conversation, he was angered by Ye Ying's narcissism, so he turned to leave.

"Sigh, after all these years, you're the first person I can truly connect with. Well then, if you want to leave, then leave." Ye Ying, clutching his sword, sighed, seemingly somewhat saddened.

Hearing this, Shen Jianxin could only walk back to the stone bench and sit down, his tone somewhat helpless: "Master, you are second on the martial arts rankings, shouldn't you give me some pointers on martial arts and impart some experience from the martial world?"

"You keep talking about your looks all the time, I really can't keep up with your conversation!"

"Peerless martial arts skills?!" Ye Ying murmured with a complex expression. He slowly sipped his tea and began to tell his story, explaining why he ranked second on the list of greatest heroes.

[It turns out he didn't know any martial arts at all; his ranking second on the list of great heroes was just a misunderstanding.]

Shen Jianxin, a man of chivalry and righteousness

Upon hearing that Ye Ying, ranked second on the Heavenly Ranking, actually didn't know martial arts, the whole world was in an uproar! No one expected such explosive news to break out on the screen.

Who exactly is ranking these lists, big and small? Is there really so much manipulation involved?

Meanwhile, Shen Jianxin, who was still in Daohua Village, suddenly became inexplicably flustered: "This...this...this has nothing to do with me! He said it himself."

After a conversation, Ye Ying revealed her hidden secret, and the two seemed to develop into true friends.

The two stood together in the pavilion, watching the flowers fall outside. Suddenly, Ye Ying spoke up: "Would you like to see the Divine Sword Shattered Star?!"

"Divine...divine sword! Can I have it? I'm just an ordinary person..." Shen Jianxin was a little startled by the sudden greeting.

Ye Ying interrupted him before he could finish speaking, saying earnestly, "You are my friend." (Read thrilling novels at Feilu Novel Network!)

The two then traveled together to the sword-forging pool of Hidden Sword Manor, where Ye Meng, the fourth young master of the manor, was conducting final checks to ensure the exhibition the following day would be flawless.

Ye Meng looked at the newcomer with some confusion and asked, "Brother, who is this person?"

Ye Ying quickly and subtly moved away from Shen Jianxin: "Ah, this is one of my fans who wants to see the Divine Sword Shattering Star to broaden his horizons!"

Ye Meng ignored it and said to Shen Jianxin, "Kid, watch carefully."

"This Shattered Star Sword was forged over ten years using a combination of Submerged Sand Mystic Crystal and Celestial Cloud Iron." Ye Meng pulled the switch, drew the divine sword Shattered Star, and casually unleashed a sword aura. A golden sword light cleaved through the weapon rack in front of him!

"Fitness may seem as thin as a cicada's wing, but it is stronger than metal and stone! No weapon in the world can harm it in the slightest."

Seeing the incredibly powerful and awesome Divine Sword Shattering Star, Shen Jianxin immediately clasped her hands together like a young girl and begged Ye Ying, "Can I touch it?"

"Go!" Ye Ying's expression remained unchanged as she earnestly cautioned, "But be careful, this is an unparalleled divine sword. Beware of being injured by its sword energy."

"Yes, yes, definitely!" Shen Jianxin excitedly stepped forward and grasped the Broken Star, examining it closely. Indeed, as he had said, it was as thin as a cicada's wing, the blade radiating a starlike white light, its sword aura visible to the naked eye; merely looking at it caused a stinging sensation.

"As expected of the peerless divine sword that has been tempered for ten years! It is indeed a fine sword. It seems that this famous sword tournament will be quite interesting!" Ximen Chuixue couldn't help but be moved as he held the sword. As a swordsman, he also greatly appreciated a fine sword.

Zhang Sanfeng from *The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber* stroked his beard and glanced at the Heaven Sword 433 stuck in the main hall. "It seems inferior. Just in appearance alone, it looks superior, and it's forged from extraterrestrial meteorite iron, making it far harder than the Shattered Star Sword..."

At this moment in the world of Fox Spirit Matchmaker, Wang Quan Ba ​​Ye, who was still in the Masked Group, secretly guessed that the seemingly extraordinary Divine Sword Shattering Star was "forged from Heavenly Cloud Iron, perhaps it can withstand Wang Quan's sword intent."

Shen Jianxin, a man of chivalry and righteousness

Ye Yue—Yi Yiqi Liu Yi III Er Zhu 9 Meng said with some helplessness: "Big brother, now that our divine sword Shattering Star, which we have been forging for ten years, has been exposed, will this year's Famous Sword Tournament still be held?"

Unexpectedly, the Shattered Star, which they had painstakingly refined for ten years, was exposed ahead of schedule, disrupting their plans.

"Go ahead, continue." Ye Ying's expression remained unchanged. He genuinely wanted to get to know Shen Jianxin, a friend he would eventually acknowledge...

Shen Jianxin examined the sword carefully, then gently bent it a couple of times: "As expected of a peerless divine sword, it is truly as thin as a cicada's wing and yet so supple..."

"Bang!"】

With a snapping sound, the divine sword Shattering Star was broken in two by Shen Jianxin.

[Fourth Young Master Ye Meng immediately grabbed Shen Jianxin and slapped him repeatedly, on the verge of collapse: "Ten years of hard work, I'm going to kill you!!"]

Shen Jianxin quickly replied, "Anyway, I'm going to participate in this Famous Swords Tournament. The divine sword can just be given to me then, right?"

But Ye Meng didn't believe him and continued slapping him hard across the face: "You nobody, yet you have such a big mouth!!"

But then they discovered that Shen Jianxin had somehow produced some celery and was chewing it.

"You're still using memes!!!"

"Fourth brother! Do as he says." Ye Ying spoke, her eyes narrowing...

The viewers outside the video were all astonished. A renowned sword-making manor could not possibly possess such a counterfeit, especially one that had taken ten years of painstaking effort to forge using meteorite iron from outer space. How could it break so easily?

"Holy crap!!" Bai Yuechu's eyes were filled with heartache at the sight. "A sword that's been tempered for ten years! How much is that worth?!"

Shen Jianxin, that spendthrift! The thought of losing such valuable items made Bai Yuechu clutch his chest and cry out in anguish, "This is all money!"

Tian Xing Nine Songs

"Hmm, could there be something wrong with the sword?" Han Fei asked with great interest.

"No, the sword is fine!!... It's even a peerless sword, surpassing my Shark Tooth." Wei Zhuang, holding the sword with both hands, slowly paced back and forth, his eyes narrowing: "The problem is Shen Jianxin!"

"The root of the problem is that one possesses great skill but is unaware of it and cannot accurately control one's power."

Even so, Wei Zhuang couldn't hide the shock in his eyes. Breaking a precious sword with internal force wasn't difficult... but accidentally breaking a divine weapon like the Shattered Star was something no ordinary person could do!

What exactly did Shen Jianxin glean from the "Pure Yang Manual"? How could he possess such formidable skill?!

The name of the person

"Young people these days are really something, it's just a pity to waste such a fine sword." Lanminghua, who was getting a haircut, spoke in broken Mandarin.

As the leader of the Tianlong Gang, the largest gang in Xuanwu Kingdom, he had never seen anyone with such profound skills.

Now that the Shattered Star is broken, how will Hidden Sword Manor hold the Famous Sword Tournament?! Can Shen Jianxin really win first place in this tournament? The others watched with questions and high expectations.

[The scene shifts to the next day. The Famous Swords Tournament is being held as scheduled. The broken pieces of the divine sword Shattered Star, intended as a prize, have been glued back together and placed on the display stand!]

[Furthermore, to give Shen Jianxin, a newcomer, a greater chance of winning, some rules were temporarily added!]

Ye Meng: "As everyone knows, every great hero in the martial arts world must have one indispensable element! That is, romance!"

"Before participating in the competition, you need to win the heart of the mentor to obtain a sword pass and participate in the tournament."

Tian Tian Jiu Ge

"Is this rule for real...?! Or is this just how the martial arts world works?" Han Fei never understood why he had to have a female companion to attend a major conference.

Don't be so blatant about underhanded dealings. Is the Hidden Sword Manor really that important? Aren't you afraid they'll turn on you and refuse to acknowledge your relationship if you try to fool them like this?

He then looked at Wei Zhuang with a mocking expression, "If this rule existed, you would probably be eliminated directly as well."

Wei Zhuang remained silent; he did not want to answer this question.

This rule eliminated most of the top competitors; even the previous champion of the Famous Swords Tournament, Sword Saint Tuoba Sinan, fell at this stage.

[After three hours of selection, only four people successfully made it to the finals! They are Pei Yuan, the senior disciple of the Valley of a Thousand Flowers and a renowned gynecologist; Chu Youyan of the Kunlun Sect; Tao Ruoli, the leader of the Earth Rat Sect; and Shen Jianxin, the closed-door disciple of the Pure Yang Sect!]

Ye Ying, sitting on the stage, remained expressionless, her tone incredulous: "Impossible, right? Not a single top expert made it into the competition."

The three manor lords were somewhat helpless: "We've really messed things up this time. We chose a difficulty level that was too high. Even last year's champion swordsman was eliminated."

"Although the addition of the 'Romance' rule was intended to exclude some top-tier competitors, the effect was unexpectedly excellent! It's become a prestigious sword tournament with only four participants..."

"I was looking forward to the showdown between the masters, and someone with the title of Sword Saint should be quite strong, but I didn't expect to be eliminated directly."

"One selection qualification eliminated everyone directly, advancing them straight to the semi-finals. That was fast and direct enough."

[The first match was between Shen Jianxin and Pei Yuan. The match officially began as the referee rang the bell.]

Pei Yuan's body jolted violently, and he vanished from his spot in the blink of an eye, appearing before Shen Jianxin with incredible speed. His calligraphy brush struck without hesitation.

However, all of this seemed extremely slow to Shen Jianxin. Shen Jianxin calmly sidestepped Pei Yuan's attack, then casually struck him back several steps with a palm strike.

Pei Yuan exclaimed in surprise, "His movements are so agile; I can't even see them clearly!"

Shen Jianxin looked at Pei Yuan, who had been repelled, and then looked at his own hands with some confusion: "Huh? I'm actually this powerful."

"So this is the vision of a master?! Indeed, one must be strong oneself to succeed."

This brief exchange completely changed everyone's opinion of Shen Jianxin! As the saying goes, the layman sees the spectacle, the expert sees the details.

"Such fast movement!" Even Chu Liuxiang, who could leave no trace in the snow, couldn't help but praise Pei Yuan. But what surprised him the most was Shen Jianxin!

Unexpectedly, this kind of movement technique was like slow motion in Shen Jianxin's eyes, and he was able to dodge the attack even faster!

At that moment, the referee raised a yellow flag and rang a bell, just like in a boxing match, to immediately begin a timeout.

Looking completely bewildered, Shen Jianxin sat in the corner of the arena and asked in confusion, "What's going on?"

"You fouled!" Ye Ying, who had appeared at the front of the arena below Shen Jianxin, spoke expressionlessly. "You cannot interrupt your opponent when they are mentally processing or explaining their moves."

The nameless boy looked speechless and couldn't help but complain, "Why can your ancient setting make the Famous Swords Tournament look like a boxing match? It just doesn't fit together."

His tone then became increasingly agitated: "And why do you know about mental activity?! Why can't I attack when you're explaining a move?!"

As he grumbled, the cross-shaped tuft of hair on his head shone with golden light, its energy seemingly capable of blowing up the earth at any moment.

Ye Ying continued looking at Shen Jianxin expressionlessly: "Besides, this tournament must last three days, and there are so few contestants now. Without explanations or stalling for time, it could be over in one day."

"A four-person match... tell me how you can play it for three days?"
