From breaking the limits of the White Ape Fist to becoming a martial arts saint.

Chapter 139 Encounter

The two stood facing each other, keeping their distance. This time, Lin Wanzhu acted as the referee.

Seeing that the two were about to fight, the onlookers started to discuss it.

"I didn't expect Senior Brother Su to actually dare to fight Senior Brother Jiang. The aura of a genius is truly extraordinary."

"Junior Brother Su is indeed a genius, but he is still a bit arrogant. He has just broken through to the second acupoint and dares to fight Senior Brother Jiang. I don't think he will win this battle."

"That's true. There's a huge difference in their martial arts levels. Junior Brother Su should learn to respect his senior brother."

Everyone was pessimistic about Su Yu and did not believe he could win.

Beside her, Qin Yu frowned slightly and asked Xu Feng in a low voice, "Senior Brother Xu, what does Father mean by this? Why does he want Su Yu to spar with Jiang Liuchuan? Does he really want to curb Junior Brother Su's arrogance?"

Xu Feng was also puzzled; he couldn't understand his master's actions either.

Su Yu couldn't figure out how to win against Jiang Liuchuan this time. Although Jiang Liuchuan had been lax in his martial arts training, he had eaten a lot of good food and had accumulated a lot of energy in his secondary acupoints, giving him a significant advantage in terms of qi and blood.

If the two were to fight, Su Yu would probably be unable to withstand it in just a few moves.

Perhaps he could use the agility of the Spirit Ape Demon-Subduing Blade to deal with Jiang Liuchuan, but he wouldn't be able to hold out for long.

"Let's see first. Perhaps Master is just letting Su Yu experience the level of Qi and blood in the secondary acupoints."

In the arena, Jiang Liuchuan casually closed the folding fan in his hand and tossed it aside.

Then, he slowly unfastened the sword from his waist.

"Clang!"

A clear and resounding sword cry echoed throughout the training ground.

The sword was drawn, its cold light gleaming, and there were faint cloud patterns flowing on its blade, making it clear at a glance that it was no ordinary weapon.

"Junior Brother Su, let me introduce you."

Jiang Liuchuan flicked the sword's blade with his finger, a smug look on his face: "This sword is named Jade Dragon. It was forged by a master craftsman from Jian'an Prefecture over three months using precious star iron. It can cut through iron like mud and sever a hair in an instant; it's worth a hundred gold pieces!"

Worth a hundred gold pieces!

Based on the current gold-silver ratio in the Great Xia Dynasty, which is roughly stable at one to ten, this sword is worth at least a thousand taels of silver!

Su Yu couldn't help but curse inwardly, "You rich bastard!"

He slowly drew the Mo Yuan Blade from his waist; its dark blade contrasted sharply with the jade dragon sword with its flowing cloud patterns.

Jiang Liuchuan twirled his sword gracefully, but didn't rush to attack. Instead, he turned to Qin Fangqiong on the high platform and said with a grin, "Master, watch closely! Although I haven't mastered the Spirit Ape Demon-Subduing Blade, I've put in a lot of hard work on this Dragon-Slaying Sword Technique! It's now at a high level of proficiency!"

"You bastard, Jiang Liuchuan!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Feng couldn't help but laugh and scold, "They've actually managed to master the Dragon-Slaying Sword!"

This Dragon Slayer Sword is a martial art that the Jiang family obtained from a cave in the Blackwater River. Although it is incomplete, it is still comparable to a superior martial art. I didn't expect Jiang Liuchuan to have mastered it. I underestimated him.

However, Junior Brother Su's chances of winning are even slimmer!

Lin Wanzhu's heart also jumped.

If it were ordinary swordsmanship, Su Yu could easily defeat it using his lesser-developed saber technique. But this Dragon-Slaying Sword Technique is renowned for its power, coupled with Jiang Liuchuan's abundant blood and qi—

She hadn't expected that Jiang Liuchuan would have such a unique talent in swordsmanship.

"Senior brother, please."

Su Yu's expression remained calm and composed. He held the knife in one hand, the tip pointing diagonally at the ground, his entire being as still as a deep pool of water.

"Hey, the way you're so confident is really infuriating." Jiang Liuchuan shook his head, his eyes instantly turning sharp. "Since that's the case, your senior brother will teach you a lesson!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Jiang Liuchuan moved!

"A dragon emerges from the abyss!"

Jiang Liuchuan took a step forward, his figure leaping out like a dragon. The Jade Dragon Sword in his hand transformed into a dazzling white streak, accompanied by a shrill whistling sound as it tore through the air, heading straight for Su Yu's chest.

This sword strike was as swift as a startled swan, and its power was like a dragon emerging from the sea!

"Excellent swordsmanship!"

The crowd on the sidelines couldn't help but cheer. The power of this sword strike was enough to instantly kill a martial artist specializing in acupoint cultivation!

However, Su Yu didn't even blink in the face of this fierce attack.

He did not retreat. Instead, he suddenly raised the Mo Yuan Blade in his hand and slashed upwards at an extremely simple angle.

"The ape emerges from its cave!"

"clang!"

Swords clashed, sparks flew!

A piercing clang of metal rang out.

The scenario that everyone had anticipated—that Su Yu would be defeated in one blow—did not occur.

In the arena, Su Yu remained as steady as a rock, firmly blocking the powerful blow from the Jade Dragon Sword!

"What?!"

Jiang Liuchuan's pupils suddenly contracted as he felt the recoil force from the Jade Dragon Sword in his hand, which was not much weaker than his own!

You should know that his vital energy and blood have been tempered for two years, and are already incredibly abundant.

How could Su Yu, a newcomer who has just broken through, possibly contend with him in terms of strength, especially since they were only a little short?

The disciples watching were also in an uproar.

"They blocked it? And it was a head-on collision?"

"Senior Brother Su's qi and blood... something's not right! It's way too abundant!"

Su Yu's grasp of the situation was always extremely precise. Taking advantage of Jiang Liuchuan's moment of shock, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"boom!"

The ground beneath his feet shattered, and the Seven Fiend Thunderclap Step was activated instantly!

He moved like a cannonball, with a thunderous roar, and instantly shifted to Jiang Liuchuan's side.

"Subdue the demon and split the mountain!"

Mo Yuan, like a black lightning bolt, slashed down towards Jiang Liuchuan's chest with a deafening roar!

Before the long sword could fall, a fierce gust of wind was already stinging Jiang Liuchuan's cheeks.

He dared not be careless and immediately launched another attack, Jade Dragon Raises Its Head, gripping the sword with both hands to block the long blade!

"Clang!"

Immediately, another metallic clang rang out, sparks flying everywhere.

This attack once again proved to be a draw between the two!

At this moment, how could Jiang Liuchuan not know that Su Yu's blood and energy were not much weaker than his own!

No wonder he's so confident, buddy!

Before he could be shocked again, Su Yu's longsword had already climbed up like a nimble ape and was slashing at him once more.

He immediately activated the Jade Dragon Sword Technique, Jade Dragon Overturning the Sea, and engaged in a fierce battle with the longsword.

"Clang! Clang—"

The sounds of fierce swords clashing filled the air, and the two figures moved swiftly across the arena, locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.

"What's going on? Senior Brother Su is holding his own, how is that possible?"

"I don't understand why Senior Brother Su is so strong. He doesn't have any special talent or physique, so how can he have such great strength?"

Everyone was very puzzled.

"It's the Black Stone Body Tempering Technique!"

Lin Wanzhu's beautiful eyes widened as she stared intently at Su Yu's bluish-black arm, and she couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

"It's that Profound-level Body Tempering Technique from the Black Stone Army!"

"My goodness! It's only been a short time since the martial arts examination, and Senior Brother Su has already mastered that profound-level technique! And judging from his level, he seems to have already surpassed the beginner stage!"

"That's the Black Stone Armor! Su Yu's body tempering technique has reached the proficient level!" Xu Feng's eyes widened like a bull's as he explained.

No wonder Master made Su Yu fight Jiang Liuchuan; he has already mastered this body-tempering technique!

With the blessing of this profound-level cultivation technique, his blood and energy are no weaker than Jiang Liuchuan's!

Qin Yuqiao's face was also filled with shock. When she was fighting Chen Fan just now, he hadn't even used his full strength!

If he had activated the Black Stone Armor back then, he probably could have killed Chen Fan with a single blow!

She turned to look at Qin Fangqiong, only to see Qin Fangqiong pick up her teacup, take a sip of tea, and look at her with an air of profound shrewdness, as if she had already expected this.

It turns out that Father had already foreseen this; he was fully aware of Su Yu's terrifying comprehension!

The purpose of having him spar with Jiang Liuchuan is to thoroughly publicize Su Yu's reputation as a genius!

But in reality, Qin Fangqiong was also shocked.

Good lad! You were just starting out when we took the exam last time, and it's only been a few days? You've already mastered the Black Stone Armor?

Originally, it was thought that he could fight Jiang Liuchuan for a quarter of an hour, but he would eventually be defeated. Even so, it was enough to shock everyone.

Unexpectedly, he fought to a standstill!

As expected of my master's successor, my old man's judgment is indeed sharp!

In the field.

Jiang Liuchuan steadied himself and looked at Su Yu's arm, which was gleaming with an eerie light. His expression became more solemn than ever before.

"Junior Brother Su, I admit you are an extraordinary genius, but that's not enough!"

Jiang Liuchuan took a deep breath, the contempt in his eyes completely disappearing, replaced by a burning fighting spirit.

"Junior Brother Su, watch out, I'm about to use my ultimate move!"

On the other side, Su Yu's eyes also flashed with a sharp light. It was time to use his sword to decide the outcome!
