Pursue to Sword Summit

Chapter 114 - light cord Battle Skills

Although Lin Mo was encouraging her, Qin Xinyin was still not that confident. She laughed: "Seems like you are very confident in yourself, what rank do you plan to obtain?"

Lin Mo shrugged his shoulders and said casually: "Since I'm here to participate in the competition, then of course I want to be first, but I never thought that I would definitely be able to get first place, being able to rank in the top three is already enough for me."

If anyone else heard Lin Mo's words, they would definitely laugh their teeth out. However, not only did Qin Xinyin not laugh, she trusted's words, because Qin Xinyin was well aware of Lin Mo's true strength. Anyone who had the guts to fight against an Innate Ranker would probably only be able to do so.

"Lin Mo, I believe that you will definitely be able to get into the top three, but the first place is simply too difficult, and the disciples who get the first place in every year will all be extremely strong. Last year, even though the first place disciple was only in the middle stage of nourishing qi realm, he was actually able to fight with an expert at the later stages of the Qi Cultivating Stage.

Lin Mo secretly asked himself in his heart, against an opponent with middle stage of nourishing qi, maybe she could win, but if she met an expert with strength at the late stage of Qi Cultivating Stage, would she still have a chance of winning?

It seemed that wanting to get first place would not be an easy thing to do. It could even be said that he would need to go through an extremely difficult competition. After all, his strength was still limited.

"Thank you for your reminder Senior Sister, I will be careful. If I don't get first place, I won't have any regrets." Lin Mo replied.

However, Qin Xinyin encouraged: "Actually, since you can enter the top ten, everyone has a whole new level of respect for you. I think that the Sect Leader only wants to let you enter the top ten as well, so don't burden yourself too much."

Lin Mo did not say anything. The top ten rankings, to him, were still not enough to satisfy him.

Although it was called a rule, it was actually more like there were no rules. The rules only provided that if you knocked down the contestant or took the initiative to admit defeat, other than that, there was no restriction on the attack. Even the most critical point was that life and death was decided by the contestant, and the contestant was responsible for the loss of life or death.

They only cared about winning or losing, and not about the life or death of the participants. Maybe they thought that only under these circumstances, would the disciples with true potential be able to display their potential, but they did not care how many people would lose their lives because of this.

Lin Mo coldly listened to Wang Ling announcing the rules, and spoke to the Third Elder who was beside him in dissatisfaction: "Third Elder, the rules of this Peppermint, aren't they too heartless? Don't they know that if they do this, many people will lose their lives?"

Third Elder Lao Yuewu shook his head, he was also not satisfied with the rules, but this was the imperial city and it was the territory of the Lingyun Sect, what use was there if he was unhappy.

"This is a rule set by the Lingyun Sect, and there is no way to change it. To them, these participating disciples are still not considered their people, so life or death has nothing to do with them, only those who have obtained the final victory are qualified to be their disciples. Furthermore, they seem to wish for this kind of life and death struggle, because that way, each disciple's strength will be displayed to the limit." The Third Elder said slowly.

But Lin Mo was still furious: "They're so heartless, they basically do not care about the lives of others, it's fine if they don't enter this kind of sect."

Qin Xinyin also nodded: "Actually I don't intend to enter this Lingyun Sect either, as long as I can obtain their rewards."

Lin Mo suddenly said: "You can rest assured that you will get the reward."

However, Qin Xinyin did not quite understand and hurriedly smiled: "I was just casually speaking, I did not dare to hope to enter the top three, so I did not think of obtaining those rewards."

However, Lin Mo still said with determination, "I guarantee that you can obtain it. You'll know when you see it."

Wang Ling had also announced the rules of the competition. The next exciting moment had arrived. He loudly shouted, "Let the match begin."

Just as Wang Ling finished speaking, a hundred competitors formed into fifty groups and began their slaughter. The entire arena was filled with a murderous aura, and all sorts of spiritual energy attacks swept the entire arena. The surrounding airflow was swept up by the powerful spiritual energy storm, forming tornadoes that revolved around the arena.

It was entirely possible for them to be killed in an instant by this enormous imposing aura. All sorts of young elites used their ultimate techniques, wanting to finish this battle as soon as possible so that they could be chosen by the Lingyun Sect because even if they could not enter the top ten, it was possible that they would be able to leave an impression of themselves and be specially recruited into the Lingyun Sect.

Lin Mo admired the various battle skills of various sects, which made him a little dizzy and excited. Even with his superior pair of eyes looking at so many battle skills, he was unable to look at them carefully, there were too many of them and too many battle skills.

What kind of battle skill was that? Lin Mo's eyes lit up, a ray of light appeared amongst the many battle skills, the reason Lin Mo paid attention to it was because this ray of light was actually like a rope striking back at the opponent, moreover it was trapping them at any time.

Of course, Lin Mo knew that this rope of light was not the real rope, it was only a flow of spirit energy formed by the user through his or her own spirit energy.

To be able to use spiritual energy to attack was nothing in the Qi Cultivating Stage, but to form a rope like stream of attack, that was not something an ordinary person could do.

"Third Elder, did you see that light? What kind of battle skill is this? Lin Mo immediately asked the Third Elder beside him, hoping to get some answers from him.

Lao Yuewu naturally noticed this strange spirit energy rope, and looked towards the disciple in the arena, who was using it, and said: "This should be the light cord of the Gate of Heavenly Mystery, a kind of early stage Earth Tier Battle Skill. Although it is an early stage Earth Tier Battle Skill, when used, it can completely surpass an early stage Earth Tier Battle Skill, and may even defeat an intermediate stage Earth Tier Battle Skill."

This was naturally the first time Lin Mo had heard of light cord. He thought to himself, if he could obtain such a powerful combat skill, it would be pretty good, at least it would be very convenient when fighting, and his opponent would only get beaten.

What made Lin Mo even more shocked was that the person who used the light cord was actually a girl, who was around the same age as Qin Xinyin. Seeing that her strength had also reached the early stage of Qi Cultivating Stage, coupled with the fact that she possessed such a powerful battle skill, she should not have any problems entering the top twenty, or even walk a little further.

"This light cord seems really amazing, if only I could cultivate it." Lin Mo could not help but exclaim.

The Third Elder laughed heartily: "Lin Mo, obtaining this light cord offensive skill is too difficult. This Gate of Heavenly Mystery is a A fifth-grade sect, and one that is well-known even within the A fifth-grade sect. With our identity as a Immortal Sword Sect, we simply do not have the chance to obtain this combat skill, so you should forget about obtaining this light cord."

Lin Mo laughed: "I was just thinking about it, and I don't necessarily have to get it. It's just that my heart feels a little itchy just from looking at it, I really want to go up and fight with her, and can finally understand the power of the light cord."

In less than the time it took for an incense stick to burn, more than a dozen pairs of contestants had been defeated. There was a great disparity in strength between the two sides. Some of them had even been defeated after a few rounds.

The lady that Lin Mo had noticed earlier was the first to take the lead, he was the first to defeat his opponent. Her spirit energy rope was truly strange, he was the most difficult opponent to deal with out of the hundred participants.

The remaining dozens of competitors were in the middle of the battle, and the difference in strength between the two sides was not too big. This year, among the young disciples, the differences in the same level of the disciples from each sect was not too big, which was why there was such a tense situation.

Other than the light cord girl, Lin Mo also noticed a few other participants with different strengths in middle stage of nourishing qi. Their battle skills were also extraordinary, each of their moves were extremely powerful, and there were fist techniques, palm techniques, and even the sword techniques that Lin Mo was most familiar with. Each of them had their own strengths, but it was difficult to determine the victor.

This was the most intense battle in the first batch, and also the most eye-catching one, because the strength of both sides was at the top of the younger disciples. Unfortunately, their luck wasn't too good the moment they started and they encountered a strong opponent.

The battle between two middle Xiantian realm masters had completely suppressed all the other battles in the arena. One of them was using his fist and the other was using his palm. Both of them were brilliant and profound battle skills.

The disciple that used the fist technique was clad in white and had an ordinary appearance, but his fist technique was not ordinary at all. The disciple that used the fist technique was wearing white and had an ordinary face, but his fist technique was not ordinary at all.

The confrontation between the fist shadows and the palm shadows was completed in a split-second. Although the fist shadows were powerful, but as if they had hit cotton, they couldn't grab onto the target's strength, and the opponent's palm technique wasn't any better, barely blocking the opponent's attack, but didn't have any opportunity to launch an attack.

Between each punch and palm, dozens of rounds passed. The two sides were still at a disadvantage, but it seemed like neither side had used their real trump card yet. Perhaps they both thought that this was the trump card that they would only use at the end.
