Chapter 543
While the duo was discussing about sword art, everyone outside was panicking .
"Pavilion Master Kang, Zhang shi has already been inside for two hours now . Do you think it is possible that . . . Elder Hong killed him due to a moment of rage?" Su shi asked anxiously .
It had been two hours since Zhang Xuan entered the chamber, but not only was there no result, there didn't seem to be any movement within as well . No one knew what was going on inside, and a tense atmosphere seemed to fill the room .
"There's no need to worry . Even if they were to quarrel, as long as one side makes a move, the number of blows should appear on the screen . . . Given that no number has appeared yet, it could only mean that they haven't come to blows yet . . . " While consoling Su shi, Pavilion Master Kang also frowned in confusion .
Even if Zhang Xuan were to fool about, Elder Hong should possess some self-restraint! After all, how could a person who has already lived for a century possibly lay his hands on a junior in front of so many master teachers?
Besides, as long as one side made a move, a number would surely appear on the screen . Currently, there was no movement whatsoever, as though the duo had fallen into a deep sleep inside the chamber . What was going on?
"Pavilion master, why don't you . . . go in to take a look?" Ling shi turned to look at him and asked .
It wasn't a solution to be waiting out here for them . If the pavilion master were to take a look, they would at least know what was going on inside .
"Alright!" After a moment of hesitation, Pavilion Master Kang thought that it was reasonable and nodded his head . "You all remain here, I'll go in alone . This way, it'll be easier for me to deal with anything that occurs!"
Su shi and Ling shi nodded their heads . Pavilion Master Kang took in a deep breath, and just as he was about to push the door open and enter, 'jiya!', the door opened, and Zhang Xuan and Elder Hong walked out side by side .
The attire of the both were still tidy and the both of them had a smile on their faces . There didn't seem to be the slightest hostility between them .
Dumbfounded, everyone stared at one another blankly .
In the end, after an entire two hours, the two of you didn't fight at all! If you two aren't going to fight, why don't you all just come out? Aren't you two just wasting our time?
Elder Wu, Elder Bai, and Elder Yun also stared at one another in bewilderment .
Given their experience, they felt that even if the both of them didn't fight, Elder Hong would still be left in an unseemly state . They had never expected for the both of them to leave from chamber together with a bright smile on their face .
Did Zhang shi accidentally knock his head on something?
After leaving them in such a tragic state, he actually spared Elder Hong . . . The trio felt a little doubtful at this situation .
"Elder Hong, this . . . " Pavilion Master Kang started to ask with a doubtful expression .
"Oh, it's nothing!"
Elder Hong shook his head . He turned to glance at the young man before him, and even until now, the shock and admiration he felt for the latter hadn't faded yet .
He thought that deciphering the flaws of two of his moves would be the limit of this fellow, but after a comprehensive discussion did he realize that the other party's comprehension of cultivation had already reached an unbelievable level . Just a casual pointer from him could induce a qualitative leap in one's strength . The Nine Swords of Scarlet Lotus which he had prided himself on turned out to be full of flaws!
It was a decent technique against ordinary cultivators of his level, but against true experts, it would surely crumble swiftly!
If he were to use this technique to challenge others, he would probably die from the backlash of his own sword art before injuring his opponent .
To die from the backlash of a battle technique he created himself . . . If word were to spread out, he would become a laughingstock for innumerable years to come . His reputation that he had built up for himself with great difficulty would fall apart immediately .
Knowing this, Elder Hong humbly sought the other party's guidance for two hours, and under the other party's pointers, his comprehension of the sword art improved greatly . If he were given some more time, he was confident he could create an even more perfect and powerful ultimate technique .
"Nothing? Then . . . what is the result of the selection round?"
Seeing that the other party wasn't willing to speak any further, Pavilion Master Kang could only turn the topic back to the selection round .
"I'll announce the results now!"
Nodding his head, Elder Hong smiled, "These are the results of all of the candidates after my assessment . Luo Xi and Du Hu, having dealt three blows, are in fifth place; Feng Mosheng and Fu Xiaochen, having dealt five blows, are in third place; Jun Ruohuan, having dealt six blows, is in second place . And in first place is . . . Zhang shi!"
"Zhang shi is in first place?"
"He's in first place again? I thought that they didn't even exchange blows . "
Hearing this conclusion, everyone was taken aback .
The results of Jun Ruohuan and the other candidates were clear to the eye of everyone here . On the other hand, not a single number appeared in the midst of Zhang shi's test . How did he ended up being placed first?
"I can't accept this!"
Ruohuan gongzi stepped forward . If the other party had shown a result far above his, he would have conceded . But there was clearly no result at all! To declare the other party to be in first place without even competing at all, wasn't this a breach of fairness?
It was just like he had scored 99 marks in an exam . If his rival had scored 100 marks, he would have conceded defeat . But . . . the other party didn't even take the test at all! On what rights should he be placed first?
"You cannot accept it?" Elder Hong frowned .
"That's right! I managed to comprehend the Nine Swords of Scarlet Lotus to Initiate mastery, trading six blows with Elder . . . I would like to ask that given that elder has assessed him as the first place, how far has he reached in the comprehension of Nine Swords of Scarlet Lotus? Has he reached Minor Accomplishment?"
At this point, Ruohuan gongzi looked at the young man in the distance and gritted his teeth . "I don't believe that you can reach Minor Accomplishment in that battle technique within an incense's time . . . Unless you fight with me now and defeat me with your sword art!"
"Defeat you?" Zhang Xuan shook his head . "Forget it, I don't have the interest of bullying others!"
"The heck!"
"Isn't he being too arrogant?"
Hearing those words, the crowd stared at one another .
No matter what, Ruohuan gongzi was a 4-star master teacher, a Transcendent Mortal 4-dan expert . Not to mention, he specialized in swordsmanship as well . Yet, the other party actually said that . . . he didn't want to bully him!
As a fellow who specialized in wielding spears, aren't you afraid that your teeth might fall off from all that bragging?
