Chapter 430 The Clan Competition: Arriving First!
"Haha, Brother Xuanhuo, you actually found out."
To be honest, Uncle Hongyu is my idol.
Perhaps, I, as your elder brother, can also give birth to a genius with three spiritual roots like my cousin Xuan Ce.
"Um... good luck."
Zhang Xuance naturally did not hear their conversation.
At that moment, he was standing on the edge of the ring, cheering for Zhang Wanjun.
At only thirteen years old, he had already reached the fifth level of Qi Refining and displayed exceptional talent in swordsmanship.
"Brother Wanjun! Get him!"
"You were my chosen opponent, Emperor Ce Tian. If you can't defeat Fourth Brother, then I've truly misjudged you!"
"After all, I, the Emperor Ce, am going to beat up my seventh brother, the clan leader, in the future."
The man who kicked Tianjiao's third brother!
If you can't even beat Fourth Brother, then once I've mastered my cultivation, you'll definitely be no match for me!
On the arena.
Zhang Wanjun's body surged with thunderous power.
Purple arcs of electricity swirled around him.
Thunder Sword swung wildly!
Zhang Xuantong's sword intent was incomparably sharp.
The moves were seamless and closely coordinated.
One sword strike after another was unleashed.
boom!
The two collided again, and a terrifying shockwave rolled across the arena.
The ground was cut open without leaving any cracks by the sword intent that spread out.
Upon hearing Zhang Xuance's words, both of them smiled helplessly.
Zhang Xuantong looked at the young man in front of him, whose body was surrounded by lightning and who was full of heroic spirit.
A hint of envy flickered in his eyes.
He said, "Wan Jun, your talent is truly something I envy."
At sixteen, he reached the peak of Qi cultivation.
Such talent is beyond my reach.
Although the fact that he reached the peak of the sixteenth level of Qi Refining was partly due to the support of the spiritual veins, it could not overshadow the terrifying power of Zhang Wanjun's dual spiritual roots of thunder and fire.
As for effort.
Zhang Xuantong believed he was second to none.
Upon hearing Zhang Xuantong's words, Zhang Wanjun laughed:
"My master once told me that talent is very important, but it doesn't mean everything."
After one's cultivation reaches the Nascent Soul stage.
It places greater emphasis on resources, opportunities, and insights into the universe.
Moreover, Fourth Brother's achievements today have already surpassed those of a vast majority of people.
Isn't that right?
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuantong laughed heartily.
"Haha, you're right, kid."
So what if it has four spiritual roots?
I, Zhang Xuantong, can also shatter everything with the sword in my hand!
come on.
We've been locked in a fierce battle for half an hour.
Their spiritual power was almost completely depleted.
How about deciding the outcome with a single move?
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Wanjun's eyes blazed with fighting spirit: "Alright!"
"Thunderbolt Sword Technique - Thunder Piercing the Sun!"
In an instant, purple lightning flashed like a dragon, and the longsword in his hand carried the force of thunder.
It suddenly cleaved down from the sky.
The thunder was deafening!
Without any hesitation, Zhang Xuantong unleashed his strongest sword strike:
"Good timing!"
"Shattering Star Sword Technique - Shattering Mountain!"
Clang!
A condensed golden light shot out from the sky.
Its sharp, metallic aura was incomparably fierce, meeting the thunder sword in the sky head-on.
boom!
The golden light and the thunder dragon collided with a deafening roar.
Under the influence of the violent lightning power of the Thunder Sword Qi, the golden sword shadow slowly dissipated.
Although the Thunderclap Sword Qi was weakened, it did not dissipate.
He rushed straight towards Zhang Xuantong.
Just as I was about to touch his body.
A figure blocked his way.
It was Zhang Guangli who served as a judge in this competition.
He extended two fingers and directly severed the sharp sword energy.
He looked at Zhang Wanjun with a smile.
"The victor is Zhang Wanjun!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuantong did not show any sign of resentment.
He looked at Zhang Wanjun and said frankly:
"Wan Jun, I have lost this battle."
My sword is not sharp enough.
I will work even harder in the future.
I will come back to ask you for advice again.
I hope Wan Jun won't refuse.
Zhang Wanjun smiled and said, "Fourth Brother, I'll be waiting anytime."
Zhang Xuantong nodded.
He then jumped off the ring.
The stands erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
"Holy crap? Zhang Wanjun really won?"
"I thought Xuan Tong would be the runner-up in this competition."
"Who can argue with that? Xuan Tong can even hold his own against Foundation Establishment cultivators in the clan, which means his strength already surpasses most peak Qi Refining cultivators."
"All I can say is that Wan Jun is too strong."
……
On the arena.
Zhang Guangli looked at Zhang Wanjun, who was showing off his sharp edge.
His eyes were filled with satisfaction.
He joked:
"Wan Jun, are you confident you can defeat Xuan Ming and win first place in the competition?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wanjun slowly shook his head.
He said, "No, if it were a typical early Foundation Establishment cultivator, I'm confident I could defeat him."
"But Fifth Brother is not."
He was a genius in the family, despite being a whole realm below in cultivation level.
I have absolutely no confidence in facing him.
But I still want to give it a try.
Even if I lose, I'll at least know how big the gap is between me and Fifth Brother.
He was telling the truth.
He knew in his heart that he had no chance of winning first place in this competition.
At the same level, the Zhang family disciples would definitely be outstanding in the outside world.
"Haha, that's more like it."
As a sword cultivator, one must have the courage to wield the sword, no matter who one faces.
Come……
Um?"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw several streams of light emerge from the core area of the Zhang family.
Zhang Chongxian, Zhang Zujun, and Gou Fugui are three Golden Core cultivators.
Zhang Hongzhan, Zhang Guangli, Zhang Guanghan, and other high-ranking members of the Zhang family were all suspended in the air.
Meanwhile, Chu Zhiwei was breaking through at the Flying Feather Immortal Sect.
They did not return to the Zhang family.
"What happened? Why have all the top members of the Zhang family shown up?"
"I don't know either. Could some terrible calamity befall us?"
"Quiet down."
……
As they were discussing, two white, mysterious boats appeared above the Zhang family's residence.
There were six people on the black boat.
Leading them were Yan Ruyu and Bai Zijing.
The other four are their protectors.
Two of them are Mr. Xu and Gu Yuan.
At this moment, Elder Xu's aura was as deep and boundless as the sea, clearly indicating that he had broken through the shackles and reached the Nascent Soul realm.
The moment Zhang Chongxian saw Yan Ruyu, his tense nerves relaxed slightly.
Xuan Chen and she had a good relationship, so he probably didn't mean any harm.
He began, "Zhang Chongxian of the Zhang family, along with all Zhang family disciples."
Greetings to Master Yan and all the esteemed seniors.
These words were spoken.
The members of the Zhang family bowed respectfully and shouted in unison:
"We pay our respects to Lord Yan!"
Dear seniors!
