Jun Yongye gave her a slight nod, then turned and left the ring.
Compared to all the previous fights, this one was the most peaceful. With the exception of Yan Ningya's all-out attack, it was a battle of pure martial skill.
But Yan Ningya, one of the strongest of her generation in the Major League, had lost.
This upset sent the audience into an uproar.
Mo Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. She turned to look at the Terminator with a smile. "My apologies, Your Majesty. I was too impatient.
You really have a good eye. "
The Terminator didn't reply. Was his eyes really that sharp?
He knew he hadn't wanted to stop the fight.
The young man's aura made him uneasy, and he didn't want to see it.
So he allowed Yan Ningya's full power to land on him.
In the waiting area, Lan Jue's eyes narrowed. Jun Yongye's display of power had made him see many things.
Only people like them who had truly practiced ancient martial arts could understand how dangerous the battle just now was.
If Yan Ningya's initial display of swordsmanship was merely a test, then when she unleashed her Discipline and unleashed her Alluring Sword, it was all she could muster.
A ninth level eighth rank Adept, combining Discipline and ancient martial arts in an attack.
The strength of that power was absolutely shocking.
If not for the protective shield, the Absolutely Devastating Sword could have destroyed the entire Great Alliance Sports Center.
However, Jun Yongye had used his ordinary looking sword to block Yan Ningya's attack and defeat her in the end.
The Pharmacist's eyes were filled with shock. "He … he's not human."
"Not human?" Lan Jue looked at her with confusion.
The Pharmacist's voice was blank. "He's just a sword.
One sword to break all!
What a strong sword. "
Lan Jue wasn't a sword practitioner.
So.
Her understanding of the sword wasn't deep, but the Pharmacist was different. Her Discipline, her ancient martial arts, were all about the sword.
Therefore, the feeling was also the most profound.
Jun Yongye didn't return to the waiting area after leaving the stage. Instead, he steadily made his way out of the Major League Stadium.
Lan Jue sat there motionlessly. He suddenly closed his eyes.
In the battle just now.
Not only did it bring him shock, it also gave him a special feeling.
Ever since he'd found that piece of lightning metal on Lyr, he'd been thinking about what his future Paragon weapon would be.
A Paragon's weapon was called a relic.
Every Paragon's weapon was unique and could not be inherited.
When they died, their weapons would be destroyed along with them.
This was because their Divine Artifacts could only belong to them.
The Gourmet and the Bookworm, for example, were weaker than the other first-degree Paragons. They didn't have their own Paragon weapons.
After seeing Jun Yongye's swordsmanship, Lan Jue suddenly had a feeling.
He seemed to know what he wanted.
In ancient Greek mythology, the God King Zeus's weapon was lightning.
Others said it was a spear shaped like lightning.
That was why, in all his previous battles, and even Thor's, weapons were all spears of lightning.
But now, as he watched Jun Yongye's swordsmanship, he realized that spear wasn't what he wanted.
Once a Paragon's weapon was set, it couldn't be changed. If he really wanted to be like Zeus, then a spear of lightning would be a good fit.
But Lan Jue was hesitant. He was a member of the Eastern Alliance.
Zeus, the God King, was a nickname given to him by busybodies. He didn't want to be held hostage by it.
At the same time, he had a feeling that spear wasn't the best weapon for him.
Jun Yongye's simple, unadorned style gave him the feeling that perhaps the sword was the weapon he wanted.
In ancient China, there was a saying that the sword was the king of weapons.
Of all the weapons, the most difficult to practice was the sword.
Although he had never practiced swordsmanship before, he suddenly fell in love with swords at that moment.
When Lan Jue opened his eyes, there were two more people in the ring. Cao Shuiqin and the Driver from group three were already there.
By now the Pharmacist had regained her composure and was looking at him. When she saw him open his eyes, she was surprised to see a flash of determination in them.
"What's your decision?" The Pharmacist asked with a smile.
Lan Jue: "Coming to this tournament was the right choice.
I've just decided what my weapon will be. "
The Pharmacist looked at him with surprise. "A sword?"
Lan Jue nodded.
The Pharmacist smiled. "If you think it's right, then it's right.
First impressions are the most important.
Congratulations. "
It wasn't easy for a person to firmly determine their own path.
This was especially true for people of their level.
Everything they were doing now was for the sake of breaking through to Paragon.
The more prepared they were, the greater their chances of becoming a Paragon.
"Three, two, one. Begin!"
At this moment, the competition on the stage had already begun.
Cao Shuiqin was a gentle and beautiful girl. Compared to Yan Ningya, she was slightly inferior in terms of looks, but she looked as gentle as water.
She wore a pale yellow dress, and held a guqin in her hands.
"She's also from the Eastern Alliance!" The Pharmacist announced proudly.
Lan Jue's heart skipped a beat. Indeed!
From the looks of it, the Great Alliance seemed to have the upper hand in the top 16.
Of the sixteen, seven were from the Eastern Alliance: Lan Jue, the Pharmacist, the Driver, Jun Yongye, Cao Shuiqin, Xuanyuan Shishi, and Ying Suifeng.
Almost half of them.
Unfortunately, there were three from the Eastern Alliance in group three. It didn't look like they were evenly split.
What surprised Lan Jue was that the first to attack wasn't the Driver, but Cao Shuiqin.
She smiled at the Driver, and he couldn't help but stare blankly at her. A strange light flashed in his eyes.
But in the next moment Cao Shuiqin's right hand rested on the guqin with seven strings and thirteen emblems.
Her slender fingers plucked the strings, and a quaint melody filled the air.
A series of indistinct blades of blue light shot towards the Driver.
The Driver had clearly been distracted by Cao Shuiqin's smile, and was startled by the sudden attack. Just as the attack was about to reach him, he leapt into the air like a bolt of lightning.
Then, in a flash, he was headed straight for Cao Shuiqin.
There's more to come, don't miss it!
