Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Duel Assessment

However, it was only a moment before people started arriving in the square.

It was first the Martial Uncles in charge of sacrificial wines from various towers nearby, who, after receiving the news, came to join in the fun.

A quarter of an hour later, probably because the news had spread, peak children began to arrive.

An hour later, the rather large square was teeming with people, the rooftops surrounding the square were even filled with spectators. The Ceremony Pavilion gave up trying to control the crowd and simply banned people from floating in the sky, the rest they allowed, so long as it wasn’t too excessive.

"Is this the King Road Seed of our Qifu Faction?"

"I don’t care how strong he is in battle, I just want to know, does the King Road Seed have a fiancée?"

"Such a handsome face, it seems even more handsome than some of the Senior Brothers who walk the path of enchantment on the Illusion Technique side!"

"Indeed, with a touch of resilience from the physical cultivators, it’s a feast for the eyes."

"I hear the King Road Seed is only seventeen?"

"Tsk tsk, the top ten challenge, if he pulls it off, our Qifu Faction will gain a lot of prestige."

"Even if he fails, it’s still prestigious. Daring to propose a top ten challenge means his combat power is easily in the top hundred. How long has it been since our Faction had such a Dao Seed?"

"Ah, why is the gap between people so big? We’re still worried about becoming Sacrificial Wine, but he, at the Child Stage, dares to take on Sacrificial Wine directly, and even has confidence in winning."

"Indeed, there’s no comparison, sigh!"

"Here they come, here they come!"

"Damn, a sword repair?"

"Is this supposed to be a comparative examination in the Child Stage?"

"A rare sight indeed!"

"······"

The crowd suddenly erupted, all eyes turned to the sky.

They saw an Escape Light streaking across the sky like a meteor, quickly entering the battlefield.

The figure descended into the battlefield, the Escape Light gradually receded, and the crowd finally saw his face. He looked to be in his thirties and was emanating asharp sword qi all over his body, like a treasure sword out of its scabbard.

Under his feet was a massive flying sword, floating three inches off the ground.

The youth stopped a few meters from Wang Zijia, scrutinizing him with a frown.

"Are you the one who submitted the comparative examination?"

Wang Zijia also stood up at this moment, saluted the youth, and said, "Wang Zijia, a second-class teacher of Fu Tower, has met this Martial Uncle."

"I am Cao Sheng. I have achieved the rank of Sacrificial Wine with the Dao Foundation of a fifth-grade artifact sword fetus, and I have been in the early stage of Sacrificial Wine for ten years now. Do you still want to take the exam in advance?" Cao Sheng looked at Wang Zijia and said, "As a Dao Seed, it’s good to have confidence, but overconfidence is not always good."

"Please teach me, Martial Uncle!" Wang Zijia didn’t waste any more words.

Since he wanted to grab the first rights to open the pulse, then from today onwards, shine with all his might!!!

It’s not bad to be a genius!

"Good! Let’s start!" With one step, Cao Sheng stepped down from the flying sword. His flying sword slowly shrank and turned into a three-foot long, green-edged blade held in his hand. As he gripped the sword with one hand, a sharp momentum rose from his body, directly suppressing Wang Zijia.

Wang Zijia, seemingly unaware, waved his hand, and dozens of crystal red spears materialized. He took the lead in attacking, darting towards Cao Sheng like lightning.

Cao Sheng’s eyes turned icy; he pushed off the ground with both legs, and his body shot towards Wang Zijia like an arrow. In a blink of an eye, he collided with the oncoming spears. His speed did not abate; the long sword continuously brushed aside, easily swatting the spears away.

"Ding!"

Between the clash of the spear and the sword, a crisp sound rang out, like a symphony of gold and iron.

Cao Sheng’s face was cold; his expression instantly grew serious. After brushing aside the spears with his long sword, he accelerated again, charging towards Wang Zijia.

Wang Zijia, however, retreated in a hurry, with several Illusory Talisman Summons floating around him.

Talisman Technique: Muddy Phantom!

Six talismans were shot out, and during the flight, sand and soil gathered around them. In a flash, using a few talismans as the core, they turned into a three-meter tall giant made of sand and soil.

"Thump, thump!"

The giant stomped heavily towards Cao Sheng.

Cao Sheng shifted his footing sideways, easily dodging, then continued to charge towards Wang Zijia.

But suddenly, the giant mud figure made a spinning sweep, its large, thick legs flashing towards Cao Sheng who was trying to pass by his side.

"Huh?"

Cao Sheng’s complexion changed slightly, as he turned and blocked with his sword.

"Bang!"

With the collision of the mud leg and the long sword, a dull collision sound was emitted, the immense force caused Cao Sheng’s body to uncontrollably slide back several meters.

"He has Spiritual Armor? Linghuan Technique, he’s still summoning?" Cao Sheng looked at the meter-tall Mud Giant and spoke in surprise.

At this moment, Wang Zijia heaved a quiet sigh of relief. After the initial test, he was sure that this person was not as good as Min Xin who had the leopard, and it was absolutely impossible to compare him with Jiang Mingda.

Completely ignoring Cao Sheng, the Mud Giant raised its massive fists, once again striking towards him.

"Hmph!"

"Sword Dao: Control!"

Cao Sheng let out a cold snort, the long sword suddenly flew out of his hand, circulating around him once, and then turned into a streak of light piercing through the Mud Giant’s head from the front and out from the back.

At that moment, Cao Sheng swiftly pushed off from the ground, causing the ground beneath him to crack, flying towards Wang Zijia with multiple afterimages. His flying sword quickly returned, transforming into a two-finger-wide streak of light, revolving around Cao Sheng.

Wang Zijia, seemingly caught off guard, his face drastically changed as he watched Cao Sheng rapidly approaching, the spiritual light under his feet suddenly intensified.

Escape Technique: Meteor Flash!

He turned into a streak of light, flashing about a dozen meters away.

Sword Dao: Sword Escape!

A slight smile graced Cao Sheng’s face. Almost simultaneously, a spiritual light flared up around him and interweaved with the sword’s aura, transforming him into a streak of light, catching up to the recently escaped Wang Zijia.

Wang Zijia’s face was filled with panic as he reeled backward in haste. Cao Sheng lifted his hand, and his longsword flew back into his hand as he continued to move in closer.

Just then, Wang Zijia flashed a brilliant smile, and an energy shield lit up around him.

As Cao Sheng’s pupils contracted, Wang Zijia threw out a total of four fireballs towards his face.

The fireballs were dark red as though there were rolling magma within them. The enormous and explosive power was faintly visible, causing Cao Sheng’s face to change drastically.

’Damn, wasn’t he supposed to be a Talisman Master? Why is he following the path of those physical brawling cultivators from the Dao Law Court.’

In the blink of an eye Cao Sheng made a decisive move, withdrawing his sword and turning around to block with it.

"Boom... Boom..."

A series of large explosions came, the consecutive blasts sending both of them flying away like cannonballs.

Wang Zijia’s protective shield quickly crystallized, forming a crystal shell which crashed into the Array Protective Shield at the edge, then slowly returned to transparent.

Cao Sheng, on the other hand, slid back across a long distance. His hair slightly scorched, and covered in dust, though he managed to take the hit.

But before he could sigh in relief, another molten fireball appeared.

"Boom, Boom..."

Fireballs danced in the air, the sword was like a stream of light, both parties began their messy fight, showing off their formidable strength and proving each other’s equal.

"Is... Is this still a fight in the Child Stage?"

"My god, is this what being a Dao Seed is?"

"Isn’t this too exaggerated? Even my family’s patriarch isn’t this strong!"

"I always thought I was only a step away from the Dao Seeds, a step toward great origin, a step toward my ancestors. But now I realize, hahaha, I’m even worse than a frog in the well."

"Compared to Senior Brother Wang, the previous preliminary battles were simply child’s play!"

"Good heavens, aren’t all the battles in the Final Circle going to be this crazy?"

"How am I supposed to fight this?"

"..."
