Chapter 377: Chapter 377 Si Yeming

Lin Yi was assigned to the seventh group.

The seed player in the group was none other than Si Yeming, one of the Inner Sect Ten Saints.

Finding that he was not in the same group as Lin Yi, Jiang Yunhe quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

It was fortunate Lin Yi wasn’t in his group, otherwise, he might have been out of the running for the top ten in this sword fighting tournament.

"It seems that I’ll have to be the one to vent Brother Gu Shentong’s frustrations."

Si Yeming looked over at Lin Yi, who sat composed in the front row not far away, a sharp glint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

"You need to be careful."

Jiang Yunhe warned, "This kid has some tricks up his sleeve, you must give it your all, otherwise, you might capsize in the gutter."

However, Jiang Yunhe’s well-intentioned warning only displeased Si Yeming.

"Jiang Yunhe, are you underestimating me too much?"

"This kid only warrants 30% of your strength, but when it comes to me you talk about giving it your all?"

"Both of us are among the Inner Sect Ten Saints, no need to insult me so bluntly, right?"

Rendered speechless by Si Yeming’s words, Jiang Yunhe choked up.

He claimed he had only used 30% of his strength, but that was mere bragging, never to be taken seriously!

You believe everything I say?

Why weren’t you this honest before?

Yet, he couldn’t reveal the truth as it would be embarrassing to admit he was not a match for Lin Yi.

Thus, even knowing Si Yeming would suffer consequences, Jiang Yunhe chose to remain silent.

As the sword fighting tournament in various groups kicked off vigorously,

Lin Yi encountered his first opponent.

However, upon seeing his opponent, a familiar face, he couldn’t help but show a trace of shock.

The person before him was none other than Xue Qianzhong, the seventh disciple of Half-Saint Xuan Yu.

"Again you?"

Lin Yi’s expression became interesting, not expecting to meet an "old acquaintance" as his first opponent.

"Attack with your sword!"

Fearful that Lin Yi would mention his past defeat, Xue Qianzhong roared and delivered a horizontal slash with his sword!

Moreover, last time, he had lost to Lin Yi because he talked too much.

Thus, this time, he didn’t waste words and directly lunged at Lin Yi with his sword!

Lin Yi shook his head and leisurely countered with a sword move, neutralizing Xue Qianzhong’s offensive.

Before entering the Sword Realm for training, Xue Qianzhong had not been a match for him.

Now, his strength had improved immensely; how could Xue Qianzhong possibly stand a chance?

Nevertheless, Lin Yi felt Venerable Xuan Yu was rather decent. If he ousted Xue Qianzhong from the Battle Platform with a single sword strike, it wouldn’t look good for Venerable Xuan Yu.

Better to leave some dignity for Venerable Xuan Yu.

Lin Yi decided to give Xue Qianzhong a chance to last twenty moves.

But to Si Yeming, Lin Yi’s merciful act appeared as a sign of incompetence.

"Struggling against a Xue Qianzhong warrants my full effort?"

Si Yeming scoffed.

Beside him, Jiang Yunhe looked puzzled, remembering the extent of Lin Yi’s skills during their own earlier encounter, wondering why Lin Yi seemed much weaker all of a sudden.

What is this kid playing at?

"A chance!"

After engaging Lin Yi for twenty moves, Xue Qianzhong realized Lin Yi’s swordsmanship wasn’t incredibly powerful. Perhaps, this time he could redeem himself and defeat Lin Yi!

However, as this thought flashed through his mind, a fierce look suddenly swept through Lin Yi’s eyes. "Defeated!"

In an instant, Lin Yi’s sword moves became more than twice as strong as before, immediately crushing Xue Qianzhong’s sword moves. The Sword Qi projected onto his chest and blasted him off the Battle Platform.

Xue Qianzhong stood up from the ground, his face iron-blue, his eyes flickering uncertainly. "Why did Xu Qing’s final sword become so much stronger suddenly?"

"Was he conserving his strength all along?"

Thinking this, Xue Qianzhong felt somewhat desperate.

It seemed the gap between him and Lin Yi had grown vast; Lin Yi could now easily hide his true power and freely manipulate it before him.

Among those in Group Seven, Xue Qianzhong was considered one of the best. After defeating Xue Qianzhong, the opponents Lin Yi faced afterward significantly lacked in strength.

He resolved most of these battles with a single move.

Soon after, Lin Yi faced the mightiest opponent in Group Seven.

One of the Inner Sect Ten Saints, the seed player, Si Yeming.

"As long as Xu Qing defeats Si Yeming, the top spot in Group Seven should be secured."

Observing the two contenders on the Group Seven Battle Platform, Venerable Xuan Yu stroked his beard and said, "Xu Qing, this lad, will likely fulfill his wish to make it into the top ten of the sword fighting tournament."

"Reaching the top ten in the tournament with a cultivation at the Sealing Marquis Realm Third Level is already an extraordinary achievement."

The speaker was another Half-Saint from the Holy Land, Black Sword Half-Saint.

"Xu Qing, who has reached the Eighth Level of the Sword Realm and is considered a Sword Dao Genius, cannot be judged by normal standards."

Red Flame Venerable chimed in, "What’s more, I feel his goal may not be limited to just the top ten."

"It’s too early to make such statements."

Ming Guang Half-Saint shook his head, "Although Si Yeming’s talent isn’t as great as Xu Qing’s, he possesses cultivation at the Seventh Level of the Sealed Marquis Realm, nearly on par with my missing disciple, Gu Shentong."

"For Xu Qing to defeat him will be no easy feat."
