The Six Immortals Chapter 200

Chapter 200 – Low Grade Spirit Weapons

Yan Yu Si and Xuan Yuan Po Jun won their evening sets with ease. Even Yan Yang was fortunate in this respect.

The contest continued to excite the audience since Jiang Zi Long and w.a.n.g Yang also showed up to contest their matches, and managed to win despite their respective injuries.

The first day of the third round evidently demonstrated the best amongst the lot, but it was still hard to guess at the championship’s winner due to the rules of the contest.

Once they returned to their hotel, the core disciple quickly finished their dinner and returned to their rooms in order to practice.

The day had been very productive for Bi Fan, since not only had he witnessed some extraordinary skills, he had also gotten to watch an ancient law in action.

This law from a by-gone era had really broadened his horizons.

Bi Fan made sure that he replayed the law enough times in his mind to memorize it thoroughly.

Even though he was able to memorize it, he knew that he wouldn’t be able to practice it until a much later time in life.

After watching such inspiring displays, Bi Fan was even more motivated to practice.

Early in the morning, even before the sky lit up to the Sun’s rays, Bi Fan went to the hotel’s courtyard in order to find more room for practicing his sword-play.

Bi Fan had just started practicing when w.a.n.g Zhong showed up.

“Brother Bi Fan, you work so hard…. You’re truly worthy of being my mentor.” w.a.n.g Zhong smiled.

Bi Fan put his Dragon-scaled sword away, smiled and said: “Brother w.a.n.g, did you get up so early to practice?”

“Yes, I’ve just realized that I’m still too weak. I’ll need to practice even harder if I ever wish to catch up to those core disciples.” w.a.n.g Zhong nodded.

“Good! Then let’s practice together, that way we will be able to improve much faster.” Bi Fan was overjoyed.

w.a.n.g Zhong promptly waved his arms, smiled and said: “Brother Bi Fan, I don’t wish to cross swords with you…….”

Left with no other choice, Bi Fan continued to practice his sword-play alone.

w.a.n.g Zhong on the other hand, started practicing his physical force again, despite all the pain he was suffering as a result.

Bi Fan was watching w.a.n.g Zhong’s practice from the corner of his eye, and couldn’t help admiring his progress speed.

“Brother w.a.n.g, if you continue to practice like this…. Then, you’ll overtake me very soon.”

“I started too late Brother… I doubt it.” w.a.n.g Zhong forced a smile.

They practiced until dawn, post which they returned to their respective rooms to freshen up, and then joined the others for breakfast.

The Jiu Yu Imperial List contest continued, and the fighting kept becoming more and more intense with each pa.s.sing day.

Time pa.s.sed quickly, and the contest reached its climax very soon.

Only Xuan Yuan Po Jun and Yan Yu Si remained unbeaten as the last day of the third round ended.

Even Hong Hu had lost one match; against Xuan Yuan Po Jun.

Xuan Yuan Po Jun and Yan Yu Si, being unbeaten in the entire contest so far, were destined to meet each other in the final round for the championship.

“Miss Yan Yu Si will need to be careful against Xuan Yuan Po Jun.” Bi Fan’s face was covered in concern.

Bi Fan had payed careful attention to Xuan Yuan Po Jun over the course of the tournament, and had realized that he hadn’t even exposed his true strength yet.

Xuan Yuan Po Jun had settled all his fights in less than ten strokes; even Hong Hu hadn’t been able to push him any further than that.

In fact, Xuan Yuan Po Jun hadn’t even used his best skills so far, and had won his fights by simply overpowering his opponents.

Yan Yu Si practiced under the banners of Xuannv Palace, whereas Xuan Yuan Po Jun belonged to the Yuan Shi sect, therefore it was expected that he’d have better skills in his a.r.s.enal.

It could be said that their battle was the most antic.i.p.ated match of the contest.

“I hope Yan Yu Si can beat Xuan Yuan Po Jun….I really want those arrogant Wu Ji Sect guys to lose again.”

“Yeah, Xuan Yuan Po Jun is way too arrogant, and callous…. I’m supporting Yan Yu Si as well.”

“Xuan Yuan Po Jun will win again this time, just like he did three years ago. And Yan Yu Si will die this time around.”

“Xuan Yuan Po Jun is invincible, he’s even stronger than some of the elders. I’m really looking forward to his final performance.”

….     ….

It appeared from the crowd’s discussions that half of the people were supporting Yan Yu Si, while the other half was in support of Xuan Yuan Po Jun; and no was willing to budge.

Yan Yu Si’s peerless beauty seemed to have enticed the men into favoring her, while Xuan Yuan Po Jun’s strength had won the women over.

As for the major sects, they were simply supporting the interests of their allied sect.

As the talk surrounding the most-antic.i.p.ated contest continued to expand, Xuan Yuan Po Jun and Yan Yu Si finally took the center stage.

“Xuan Yuan Po Jun, it’s finally our turn to contest again. I’ve been waiting for this time for three years!” Yan Yu Si stated.

“Yes, it’s been three years. I’ve had to wait a long time to beat you again.” Xuan Yuan Po Jun replied.

“Let’s see what you’ve learnt in these last three years then.” Yan Yu Si said lightly.

“Well, I’m also looking forward to seeing what you’ve learnt. Now don’t go about disappointing me again.” Xuan Yuan Po Jun replied in a cold manner.

Neither of the two contestants moved as the referee announced the start of the match; in fact, they didn’t even expose their momentums.

Unable to understand the reason behind their inactivity, some of the spectators resorted to making noise.

“What are you doing? Are you just going to stand there, or are you guys going to fight?”

“Come on, hurry up and start the contest……”

The impatient audience started crying out in antic.i.p.ation.

Even though only a small number of the two hundred thousand spectators were making noise, the momentum was still very alarming.

However, there was still no action from either of the two contestants as they simply stood on the stage eye-balling each other.

“Master, Miss Yan Yu Si will return unharmed, right?” Bi Fan was still very concerned about her safety amidst all the chaos.

“Don’t worry, the difference in their strength is very limited, so it won’t be easy for either one of them to kill the other.” Ling Xin Ya stated: “But neither of them will attack first since they are overly familiar with each other’s fighting styles.”

“So how long will they keep standing like that?” Jing Feng asked.

“They’ll start it soon.” Ling Xin Ya stated.

“Watch out for the ‘Xaunnv Palace purge winnowing sword!’”

“Infinite Horizon sword!”

As Yan Yu Si and Xuan Yuan Po Jun launched into action simultaneously, two sharp swords blazed across the stage.

Their swords moved so fast that they were almost invisible to the naked eye.

“They are too strong! Their attacks are insanely condensed!” Jing Feng exclaimed in shock.

“Wrong! That’s not their sword-play……. Xuan Yuan Po Jun and Miss Yan Yu Si are using low-grade Spirit weapons.” Ling Xin Ya smiled.

“What! Low-grade Spirit weapons?! They actually possess completely intact Spirit weapons?” Everyone’s mouth hung open in shock.

Spirit weapons are very precious, and very rare. Even the Quinyang Sect only had a handful of spirit weapons in their possession.

A Spirit Weapon’s owner is able to employ his weapon even without touching it, which enables them to kill their enemies from a distance; even as far as kilometer away…..

On top of that, a Spirit device is extremely fast, almost like a fleeting arrow.

“Yes, the weapons are both low-grade Spirit Weapons! And since they are completely intact, their strength is almost boundless!” Ling Xin Ya smiled again.

“When will we be able to procure such weapons?” Jing Feng was obviously envious of the two fighters on the stage.

“It’s very difficult to get one unless you’re really luck. Even I don’t have one as yet.” Ling Xin Ya sighed.

The two fleeting weapons continued to clash in the air, issuing crisp sounds which ceaselessly shook the entire arena.

Yan Yu Si and Xuan Yuan Po Jun seemed to be controlling their weapons from a distance; in fact, they weren’t even in the frame of the two colliding weapons.

Both fighters were fighting very cleverly. They were even using their weapons to build shields around their bodies in order to protect themselves from their opponent’s blade. The moment the enemy’s sword came closer, they’d strengthen this shield to guard their body, and block the incoming attack.
