Chapter 373
A student with a thin face beside Zi Hansha spoke in a sharp voice, "We've also long wanted to see elder brother Zhang's sword technique . Will you please instruct us?"
With Zi Hansha leading them, those students seemed to be asking for advice yet it felt more like coercion of Zhang Ruochen . Even an idiot could tell their true purpose .
Xue Yingrou furrowed her brows . "Junior fellow apprentice Zhang has rescued us before . It's not nice for you to do this now, is it?"
"Junior sister apprentice, we truly just want to be instructed in sword technique . We don't mean anything else . Don't misunderstand!"
Zi Hansha maintained his smile but jealousy was ravaging him on the inside . Xue Yingrou had always worshipped him but now she was favoring that bastard Zhang Ruochen .
Did he have to defeat Zhang Ruochen so she would understand who was the truly superior?
Zhang Ruochen naturally could tell why Zi Hansha wanted him to instruct him in sword technique . It had to be related to Xue Yingrou .
She was the so-called femme fatale, indeed . The ancient stories were all true .
Another student stood out and said unhappily, "Eldest brother sincerely wants to learn sword technique from you . You won't deny him this, right?"
"That's right! Don't tell me you're afraid of losing to eldest brother . " A peculiar voice rang out .
Zhang Ruochen wasn't one to be pushed around . Since trouble had come to his door, he naturally wouldn't allow others to think he was afraid of them .
He thought deeply for a moment before replying, "Fine . Since that's the case, we'll try a few moves . I hope we can end there . "
"Naturally . " Zi Hansha smiled .
The genius students from the South Cloud Commandery all revealed strange smiles . They backed away and began discussing in low voices .
"Let's guess how many moves will eldest brother need before he defeats that bastard . "
"How many? Who among our generation in our commandery can block even one of his attacks? Third Wu, you're also a warrior at the Advanced Stage of the Heaven Realm . Can you do it?"
"I'm not in the same league as the eldest brother . We might be in the same realm but it's not an easy task to block one of his strikes . "
"That bastard isn't a weakling either . His sword technique is indeed profound . I estimate he'll be able to put up a fight against eldest brother . "
"I think eldest brother will definitely defeat him within 10 moves . Eldest brother is a Five-and-a-Half-realm Fighting Genius . There's no way that bastard would have more . "
"Which among those Six-realm Fighting Geniuses aren't famed across the Eastern Region? They would also have a chance of being featured in the Eastern Region Report . Zhang Ruochen? Hehe, I've never heard of his name . "
. . .
Zhang Ruochen, naturally, had been featured in the Eastern Region Report . However, he was only mentioned once in the final edition . Of course no one would remember his name .
With his defeat of Di Yi, he had the chance of headlining the Eastern Region Report . But there was still some time before the next issue would be published and the news hadn't yet spread as of now .
Xue Yingrou had also retreated, anticipation growing inside her .
If she just went by their ages, she estimated Zhang Ruochen to be younger than Zi Hansha .
Though Zi Hansha looked to be in his early 20s, he was already 32 . Zhang Ruochen didn't seem like he exceeded 25 .
When it came to their battle power, it wasn't easy to come up to a conclusion .
After all, she knew Zi Hansha very well . He was a truly powerful warrior and was essentially invincible among his peers . Even among the older generation, few were his rivals .
"Elder brother Zhang is probably weaker than eldest brother, but he's still young . His innate talent far exceeds that of eldest brother . "
"Could he already be a Six-realm Fighting Genius?"
Her heart beat rapidly as a daring guess rose in her mind .
Everything depended on the outcome of this battle . If Zhang Ruochen could really stand his ground against Zi Hansha, then he was probably a Six-realm Fighting Genius .
SWOOSH!
In an elegant move, Zi Hansha pulled out his sword and held it up .
The strands of purple Genuine Qi that flowed out from his body enveloped him, forming a thick Celestial Bodyshield .
He hailed from a Half-Saint family, the Zi family . He practiced a mid-class Ghost Level exercise, the Secrets of the Purple Blood Mark . After reaching the Heaven Realm, he naturally practiced a special Genuine Qi, which was the Purple Cloud Genuine Qi .
Being born into a good family was an enormous advantage . From a young age, he was able to study peak martial arts books and establish a strong foundation . Coupled with his innate talent and hard work, he was destined for greatness .
Disciples from poor families could only start with Human Stage and Spiritual Stage exercises . Even if they later exhibited great talent, it would be difficult for them to catch up to prodigies who had practiced superior level exercises .
Even if they forcefully started practicing a different exercise, their Meridians had long been set and the effects wouldn't necessarily be strong . On the contrary, it will waste a lot of their time . The losses wouldn't make up for the gains .
Zhang Ruochen didn't underestimate his opponent either . He released his Blue Genuine Qi and formed a Celestial Bodyshield .
Zi Hansha narrowed his eyes when he saw the blue Genuine Qi enveloping his opponent's body and smiled . "You've also practiced a special Genuine Qi . Seems like the exercise you practiced is also very powerful . Draw your sword!"
Zhang Ruochen shook his head . "Demonstrating sword technique doesn't necessarily require drawing the sword . "
Zi Hansha felt a chill in his heart, feeling like he was being underestimated .
"You're prouder than me . Well, let's see if you have the ability to justify your arrogance . "
