This chapter's initial release occurred on the N0v3l-B1n site.

The entire arena was surprised at Shi Lang pulling out a wooden sword from his space ring to fight with the leader of the Dragon Sword Sect.

Xia Lingtai shouted, "Are you looking down on us, you bastard!"

Shi Lang's gaze flickered with a cold glint, but he kept looking at the young man before him.

The young man said, "This is the first time someone has pulled off something like this. Before I react, may I ask why you cannot find a suitable sword?"

Shi Lang smiled, and his eyes turned blue. A strong pressure radiated from his body and the young man was forced to take a few steps back. That was not all. The entire arena fell silent, and even the elders became interested in what Shi Lang was doing.

The terran said, "The technique I practice is too strong, and if I channel my spirit energy through the weapon, it crumbles away like a scrap metal. I cannot use a sword below a medium-grade spirit weapon. This bamboo sword can manage pressure with ease. That is why I use this."

Shi Lang did not forget to cast a cold gaze on Xia Lingtai and said, "Next time, you better think twice before you speak. Sometimes a loose mouth can lead you to invite a disaster."

Xia Lingtai shivered and sat back in the seat with a pale face. Shi Lang looked at Senior Brother Bo and asked, "Is my explanation satisfactory to you?"

The young man nodded and said, "Come, let us see if your technique is stronger than mine."

The Deacon said, "Begin."

Shi Lang did not move, but Bo took out his sword and vanished from his spot. The terran did not react but used his ability to sense everything around him, overlapping his spiritual sense.

Bo was invisible to the rest of the people, that was the extent of his speed, but to Shi Lang, he was as clear as the sun in the day sky. The terran suddenly moved his wooden sword. He raised it toward his right and then to his left. Shi Lang did not pull off any fancy moves, he turned around, and then his blade pointed in front of him.

Someone from the crowd asked, "What is he doing?"

The rest of them were confused, and they unintentionally turned their head to the position where the core disciples were sitting. The core disciples were silent, also. Wen Lengxue said, "He is blocking Bo Qingtan from approaching him with his blocks."

One girl raised her voice and asked, "Senior Sister, how does Senior Brother Shi know where the opponent is? We cannot see him, and the spiritual sense cannot keep up either."

Wen Lengxue shook her head and said, "Spiritual sense can keep up with the track. It is just you are not as focused as Shi Lang. Look at his position and stance."

The communication between the two sides was done openly, and the Dragon Sword Sect disciples sneered at this.

On the stage, suddenly, a clang was heard. Everyone saw Shi Lang standing before Bo Qingtan with their blades in a lock. The two people were exerting force. Suddenly Shi Lang smiled faintly, and he extended his hand outward.

The force pushed Bo Qingtan back slowly. Ultimately, the latter could not help but take back a few steps. Shi Lang was too strong for him. Bo Qingtan did not wait and took the initiative to move and said, "Imprison."

The next moment, many vines erupted from the seeds scattered on the ground, entangled with Shi Lang. He shook his head and snorted. The vines were completely disintegrated.

He tried to move ahead, but his body did not listen to any commands. Bo Qingtan said, "My technique is painless. As long as you agree to admit defeat, I will release you."

Shi Lang looked inside his body and found some seed-like things that were resisting the movement of his joints. The terran smiled and said, "You are quite a trickster, Senior Brother Bo."

Bo Qingtan smiled, and the next moment, he moved closer to the person. However, the terran smiled and channeled his spirit energy. Bo Qingtan sensed this and shook his head, "Your spiritual energy will no..."

He wanted to say that Shi Lang would be unable to break through the restriction, but one cycle of lightning energy burnt the seeds into nothing, and Shi Lang said, "Let's dance."

Shi Lang appeared before Bo Qingtan, then moved to the side.

...

The grand elders of both sects stood up from their seats in shock. They both looked at Sect Master Ling and Peak Master Mei. Long Shan said, "Xiao Ling, you have learned the trickery from your uncle master."

Sect Master Ling just smiled and did not say anything. Elder Yue was the same. The people below were shocked as they did not expect this young man to be holding back this much.

The lighting was another thing, but how he fought with Bo Qingtan was even more shocking. He was like a specter on the stage, and the leader of the Dragon Sword Sect was akin to a punching bag.

Shi Lang fought like a maniac, but Bo Qintan was also not to be underestimated. The latter said, "Thousand Stabs."

The ground erupted, and wooden spikes shot from the stage, all aimed at Shi Lang. The terran was contained, and he could not move forward without dissolving the threat. His sword moved like a whip, and his body flickered everywhere.

...

Long Shan smacked the armrest and said, "Xiao Ling, this person, you bastard... Lightning attribute, physical body that can put the lightning itself to shame. You swine, this guy belongs in the Dragon Sword Sect."

Yue Shi sighed and said, "If only our sect taught men, we would not have minded taking him. If I can talk to the Suzerain, we can probably make an expectation."

Sect Master Ling said, "That cannot be allowed."

The two grand elders looked at him, and Sect Master Ling said, "Immortal Sovereign Tian Long arranged this."

The two people fell silent and looked at each other with eyes wide open. Mei Lingyao said, "He is an ascender, and apparently, he comes from the same mortal realm as Senior Tian Long."

...

On the stage, Shi Lang was flickering all over the place, and his speed was so fast that if Bo Qingtan was invisible, this guy was leaving after images. After finishing the wooden stalks, he said, "Shura Domain."

The next moment, pressure descended on the stage. Bo Qingtan shivered, and he felt restrained. Again the battle progressed, Shi Lang took the lead, and the people were on their feet. They did not expect things to escalate this much.

Bo Qingtan was not shallow in his skills either. He said, "Dragon Forest."

The surrounding spiritual energy resonated with his will, and it all turned into thick trunks of trees, and all these trunks turned into dragons. These dragons followed Bo Qingtan's sword and attacked the young man from all sides.

Shi Lang chuckled and said, "Good move. Shura Body."

His body was covered with lightning energy, and his wooden sword became a wooden saw, chopping down every dragon that came at him. The speed and ferocity were too marvelous. A lot of audience members were already standing on their feet.

Liang Ping grabbed the armrest of his chair and said, "This guy, I want to fight him."

Hu Shan nodded, his hands were crossed in front of his chest, and his fists were balled. All the disciples had similar reactions. They did not expect Shi Lang to be holding back this much. One of the aids could not stop himself and asked, "Senior Brother, what do you think about this battle?"

Xu Guang said, "If this were a life and death battle, Bo Qingtan would have died before he had a chance. Also, Junior Brother is holding a bamboo sword. He is playing with Bo Qingtan. The battle will be over with the next move."

The aid was surprised, and the next moment, on the stage, Shi Lang said, "Lightning Of Shura."

As he was facing the cluster of dragons, his sword was reduced to only the hilt. However, he was not going to back off. Behind him, a phantom appeared. It was like a man made of lightning, and it held a sword in his hands.

The Phantom moved, corresponding to Shi Lang's movements. Then it raised the sword, and Shi Lang said, "Senior Brother Bo, please be careful."

The Phantom slashed down in a blink. However, the dragons were still coming at Shi Lang. Suddenly, Bo Qingtan held up a talisman and said, "Shield."

A spirit shield appeared before him, and what people saw was Bo Qingtan was pushed back by some force, following which all the dragons were suddenly beheaded one by one.

The entire audience was in a daze. They did not expect Shi Lang to defeat Bo Qingtan in such a fashion. Nobody knew who cheered, but the entire Arena exploded in cheers. They did not even need any decision.
