"It's him!" Song Yifei was surprised to see the second Sword Wielder in the final stage.
"Do you know him?" asked Liunian Ling.
"Yes, he came with us. He's also a Sword Wielder of Yuzhang City. His name is Koo Rok-in, and he's the son of Sword Immortal Baiju of Yuzhang City."
Song Yifei explained in detail. The second Sword Wielder to reach the final stage was Koo Rok-in. It seemed like Koo Rok-in's arrogance was not without reason. At the very least, he was strong.
"Sword Immortal Baiju's son?
The person in control of Yuzhang City? "
Liunian Ling nodded. Liunian Ling knew about Sword Immortal Baiju. He was a very dignified old man. Liunian Ling had met Sword Immortal Baiju during her grandfather's 70th birthday.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Koo Rok-in. I'm Liunian Ling. It's a pleasure to meet you!" Liunian Ling greeted Koo Rok-in.
She greeted Koo Rok-in not because Koo Rok-in was Wu Dao's son, but because everyone who entered the Trial Formation was here to save her, Liunian Ling. Under such circumstances, it was necessary for Liunian Ling to greet Koo Rok-in.
"You're Liunian Ling, the successor of the Liu Nian Family?"
Unexpectedly, Koo Rok-in did not shake Liunian Ling's hand. Instead, he looked at Liunian Ling with a fastidious gaze, like a teacher who insisted on students' attire at the school gate, "So you're from the Liu Nian Family. You're not worthy of inheriting Kenzu's legacy!"
Alright, Koo Rok-in's arrogance is acting up again.
Liunian Ling almost choked on her breath when she saw Koo Rok-in's reaction. Song Yifei pulled Liunian Ling back and comforted her softly, "Don't mind him, Ling. That's just how he is. He's always frivolous to everyone.
In Guhan's words, he's a severe case of arrogance. Just ignore him and pretend he doesn't exist! "
"Hmph …" Liunian Ling snorted coldly, "It's unfortunate that Sword Immortal Baiju has such a son. It seems that he's going to squander all of Sword Immortal Baiju's inheritance sooner or later."
"I won't take a single cent from that old man. I, Koo Rok-in, will forge an era that belongs to me, Koo Rok-in. I, Koo Rok-in, will not take a single cent from Wu Wudao. Please don't associate me with Wu Wudao, Miss Liunian Ling. I don't want to hear such words ever again!" Koo Rok-in's expression froze when he heard Liunian Ling's words.
"Whatever. I don't think I'll ever want to see you again!"
Liunian Ling turned around and ran back into her tent. She could not be bothered with the severely arrogant man anymore.
Koo Rok-in, on the other hand, was overjoyed. He walked straight to the small bar in the middle of the tent and read through the quest details.
"As long as I defeat Yuan Kou, will I be able to enter the finish line?"
Koo Rok-in looked at Liunian Ling's tent in disdain after reading through the quest details. "I thought that the descendant of the Liu Nian Clan was something great. I didn't expect him to be a coward.
You're clearly one step ahead of me, and the way to victory is right in front of you. Yet, you're hesitating and afraid of a mere Yuan Kou. You're simply a disgrace to Lord Kenzu. "
At this point, Koo Rok-in was a little angry. He idolized Kenzu. Seeing that the descendant of Kenzu was so cowardly and cowardly, he was very displeased. It was as if he had lost face … Koo Rok-in really treated himself as the descendant of Kenzu. To think that he had so much confidence.
"Since the descendant of Kenzu doesn't dare to fight, then let me defeat this Yuan Kou. Doesn't this mean that I'm more suitable to be the descendant of Kenzu than the descendant of Kenzu!"
Thinking until here, Koo Rok-in couldn't help but feel a little excited. Without any hesitation, he strode into the door that led to Iciz's room.
"Hehe, what an idiot. Even the descendant of the Liu Nian Family doesn't dare to enter a place like this. What kind of place is this?"
Liunian Ling who was observing the situation outside through the small window of the tent smiled when she saw Koo Rok-in enter the room. She then turned to Song Yifei with a smile, "Yifei, let's make a bet. How long will it take before we hear the notification that this fellow is kicked out?"
"Sure …" Song Yifei was immediately interested. He stuck out a finger and said, "I'll bet one minute!"
"One minute!
You're overestimating him! I'll bet ten seconds! "
Sneered Fleeting Time, and began counting with his finger, "One second … Two seconds … Three seconds …"
Ten seconds later, there was still no notification of Ju Lvren's failure. Song Yifei immediately clapped and laughed out loud. "Haha, it seems that I've won!" Before Song Yifei could finish his sentence, he heard the male version of the Heaven Covering Sword Emperor's voice.
"The participant has failed, and has now been sent back 200 squares. The next challenger may enter the room."
"Twelve seconds …" Liunian Ling's face was drawn, "I didn't expect this fellow to be so capable!"
… …
Ju Luren, who was praised by Fleeting Time Ling as having some ability, sat on the floor of a certain room with a blank expression. He had been dealt a heavy blow.
After he entered the room, the stupid bear inside launched a merciless attack on him without saying anything … If Gu Lvren's sword was not in his hand, and Gu Lvren himself was targeting the sword owner, he would have been KO'd in that surprise attack.
However, Ju Luren only managed to block one sword strike. Following that, the female bear began to attack him continuously, which was invisible to the naked eye. Ju Luren felt that he was constantly being hit in his vital parts. In just five seconds, he felt pain that he had never felt in his life.
"I would've died if the Female Bear didn't want to kill me!"
Thought Koo Rok-in. The Female Bear finally stopped her attacks just as he was about to die. She opened up a portal and threw Koo Rok-in into it. That was how Koo Rok-in managed to survive.
"I've lost!
Damn it!
I can't even fight back! Damn it!
Damn it! "
This was the first time Koo Rok-in tasted such a terrible defeat. His entire outlook on life had darkened.
"Maybe I'm just a good-for-nothing … Maybe I don't deserve to inherit the mantle of the Sword Ancestor … I should always be a good-for-nothing …" Well, this teenager probably couldn't bear such a heavy blow and immediately began to give up on himself. This was the disadvantage of always winning and never suffering defeat. He would instantly begin to doubt his own outlook on life.
"No, I'm not a trash!
It's not like Kenzu hasn't failed before. I must pull myself together. I, Koo Rok-in, will climb back up from where I fell!
I want to cultivate, I want to cultivate harder. One day, I will be able to defeat that she-bear. Your Excellency Sword Master, are you telling me to persevere with the help of this she-bear? "
Hmm, I didn't expect Koo Rok-in, this chuunibyou, to be able to adjust his state of mind so well. In less than five seconds, he broke free from his self-abandonment and became even more determined. This was the standard of a hot-blooded main character!
No, Koo Rok-in was even more hot-blooded than a hot-blooded main character!
After a hot-blooded main character experienced failure, they would need a friend, a senior, or a lover to wake them up. Sometimes, a couple of people would die to wake them up.
Koo Rok-in didn't need these things at all. He could climb back up on his own. What a great person he was!
Unfortunately, he wasn't a main character. What a pity.
Speaking of the main character, when Ju Lvren looked around him, he actually found another person sitting on the other side of the room. He was holding a sword in his arms, and his eyes were closed. He didn't know what he was doing, but he seemed to be meditating.
"This person is the one who came with me!
What's his name again? "
Koo Rok-in's memory wasn't bad. He actually recognized that this person was Guhan who came with him. Unfortunately, he couldn't remember this person's name … However, to have the great Koo Rok-in remember your face, what else could you ask for?
"Forget it. Let's not care about him. I'm going to return to the finishing point and fight with that female bear again. This time, I can definitely …" Gu Lvren wanted to say that he could definitely defeat that female bear this time, but when the words reached his mouth, his imposing manner inexplicably disappeared. He couldn't bring himself to say that he could defeat the female bear.
The reason was simple. Koo Rok-in knew very well that he couldn't defeat the Female Bear. The Female Bear was too strong.
"Wait, I remember the notification mentioned that I would have to retreat 200 steps after failing. Which means that all those who fail will come to this room."
Thinking until here, Koo Rok-in's expression turned ugly. When he arrived at this room, Guhan was already inside.
If all those who failed would come to this room, didn't that mean that Guhan was ahead of him and had reached the finishing line earlier than him?
"Hmph, he arrived earlier than me, but he still doesn't dare to move forward. Seems like he's also a piece of trash!"
In the end, Koo Rok-in ignored Guhan and continued to stride towards the finishing line. He, Koo Rok-in, was a man who would never be defeated by difficulties. He would become the second man in Kenzu!
… …
"This is already the fifth batch!"
Liunian Ling looked at the room that was gradually becoming lively. As time passed, more and more teams arrived at the finishing line, but Guhan still hadn't returned.
This was already the second day after Gu Han's failure. Two days was more than enough for someone as strong as Gu Han to walk two hundred steps. Could it be that he was unlucky enough to encounter some kind of spatial teleportation, and was teleported to a place further ahead?
As Liunian Ling's imagination ran wild, the door of the room suddenly opened again. Another team of swordsmen entered the room.
"Ling!
Great, I finally see you again. It's great that you're fine! "
The person who ran over to talk to Liunian Ling was Liunian Ling's childhood friend, Xu Tianyuan … Behind Xu Tianyuan was a timid figure.
Yi Wenjun, the direct descendant of Zhe Tian Jiandi, and also the weakest of all the participants, had also reached the finishing line.
