They formed groups of threes and fives, engaged in endless discussions.

Some seemed insatiable, some regretted profoundly, some were full of hatred, some were deeply moved, while others argued loudly, their faces flushed with passion.

“—Do we have no one in Wo State?

To let a foreigner run wild on our turf!”

“Indeed, we have no one.

Among those of the Eighth Rank, Zhen Nian and Bai Guangda are the strongest two young swordsmen.

The top ten of the Qingyun List are all at the Seventh Rank, and they’re also a generation older, so it would be somewhat inappropriate for them to step in.”

“A disgrace!

A true disgrace!

Noble Wo State, to be suppressed by a mixbreed from East State!”

“This is Shenxiu’s Ten Outstanding Sabers!

There’s a reason why Tianji Pavilion ranked them as Shenxiu Ten Masters.”

“I’m just curious, what was that one sword move all about?

It was just an ordinary Draw Sword Style, only a bit faster with the sword speed.

Zhen Nian had clearly created some distance, so why didn’t he swing his sword to block?

It looked like he lost on purpose.”

“Impossible!

There must be some reason.

There were several Fifth-grade Martial Cultivators present on the platform just now, and they didn’t say anything.

Besides, who is Zhen Nian?

With his family’s enormous wealth, how could he intentionally lose to Chu Xisheng?”

“I was right below the stage just now and overheard the Gang Leader of the Iron Sword Gang praising, ‘What a move, White Horse is Not a Horse!

A young hero, indeed; the new waves push the old ones forward.'”

Five Elements Divine Blade Zhuang Zhengde stood firm on the stone platform, hands behind his back, watching the distant official ship.

Listening to the debate below, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly to himself.

This time, the martial arts community of Wo State had truly suffered a great embarrassment.

Just then, a refined scholar-like elder in a green robe approached the stone platform.

“Brother Zhuang, I want to know what was with Chu Xisheng’s sword move just now?

I was too far away earlier and didn’t see clearly.”

Turning his head, Zhuang Zhengde saw that the newcomer was the Tower Master of the Wo State Martial Arts Tower.

He smiled faintly, “His sword integrated a trace of Heavenly Dao Rhythm, White Horse is Not a Horse, ambiguous and illusory, elusive and deceptive, confusing the senses and making it impossible to clearly see the position of his long sword, nor determine what move he was using.”

“White Horse is Not a Horse?” The man in the green robe mused solemnly, “Does that mean, his swordsmanship is very tricky?”

Zhuang Zhengde’s bushy eyebrows lifted slightly, “Of course it’s tricky.

What’s crucial is that he’s using the Chasing Wind Saber!

His sword speed is unparalleled in his tier.

At the Eighth Rank, I cannot think of anyone who would be able to withstand that sword of his.”

The eyebrows of the man in the green robe were now furrowed into the character ‘川’.

Even just imagining it, he knew how terrifying that sword was.

The fast sword of Chu Xisheng was already as swift as chasing the wind and catching lightning.

Unexpectedly, in addition to his fast sword, he had integrated the Heavenly Dao Rhythm, making it impossible to grasp its exact position.

Even if a foe’s hand speed could barely keep up, they wouldn’t know how to defend.

Frowning, the man in green robe said, “Then, in Brother Zhuang’s view, does Chu Xisheng have the qualification to be selected as one of Shenxiu’s Ten Outstanding Sabers?”

The Tower Master of Wo State Martial Arts Tower also possessed remarkable discernment.

However, the man in the green robe had not seen Chu Xisheng’s swordsmanship from up close, so he sought Zhuang Zhengde’s opinion.

“I don’t know,”

Zhuang Zhengde shook his head.

“His White Horse is Not a Horse is not without weaknesses, he has to use a massive amount of True Yuan to integrate that Heavenly Blade Rhythm into his sword technique.

The lad’s cultivation is too weak, only at the lower tier of Eighth-grade Primordial Skill.

No matter how strong his Bloodline Talent, I estimate he can’t wield ten strikes of White Horse is Not a Horse.

As long as one can outlast him until his True Yuan is depleted, they have a chance of victory.

But at the Eighth Rank, no one has the capacity to do so.

Only those few in Heluo Two States and Capital City, who reached the Seventh Rank at the age of fourteen or fifteen, might have the potential to suppress him.”

The most talented among them had already stepped into the upper tier of the Seventh Rank.

They were about the same age as Chu Xisheng and some were even younger, truly his peers.

Zhuang Zhengde then changed his tone: “Regardless, this time your Debating Martial Arts Tower is bound to be ridiculed.

Such a formidable lad has only been ranked twenty-ninth on the East State Qingyun List.

Is it because the martial arts standard in East State is too high?

Or did the East State Martial Arts Tower turn a blind eye, failing to recognize a hero?”

Consequently, the martial arts community of Wo State would also become the butt of jokes.

In the future, when people recount the battle of this day, they will say that Wo State’s Qingyun number fourteen was defeated by East State’s Qingyun number twenty-nine.

The man in the green robe gave an embarrassed smile but also felt a headache coming on.

Naturally, it’s the East State Martial Arts Tower that has gone blind.

With such strength, Chu Xisheng would not only qualify for the top ten in East State but also in Heluo and Capital City.

Indeed, this is not a major issue.

The Martial Arts Tower isn’t omnipotent; occasional oversights are nothing out of the ordinary.

The problem is that the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion has ranked Chu Xisheng among the ‘Shenxiu Ten Outstanding Sabers.’

This deviates from the ranking given by the Martial Arts Tower on the Qingyun List by an uncountable number of tiers.

The Ten Outstanding Sabers are all young prodigies who could enter the Qingyun General List.

Above the twenty-ninth rank of the East State Qingyun List are thirty-eight states with thirty-eight subsidiary lists, encompassing over a thousand Qingyun’s geniuses.

This difference inevitably attracts attention; people will surely compare the ‘Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual’ with the ‘Debating Martial Arts,’ wanting to know which evaluation is more accurate.

For now, the man in the green robe could only hope that those led by ‘Mad Blade’ Wang Ming in Capital City could overshadow Chu Xisheng.
