Zero To Hero In The Martial Arts Library

Piao Jiansheng accepted the challenge. That was the first time he had accepted a challenge that was not a sword art battle.

Perhaps it was because he was curious, or perhaps it was because he was intrigued by the determination in Qin Yuyan’s eyes.

He felt that he could agree to that battle.

Section Chief Jin said with an ice-cold expression,

“Piao Jiansheng, don’t mess around. If it’s not a battle of the sword arts, it will be a risk since it will be harder for you. If you lose, it will put a great stain on your pristine battle record in the nine provinces.”

Piao Jiansheng said with a determined look in his eyes,

“A true master of the sword arts will not fear the rules, nor any type of martial arts! If my sword can only be used to fight against sword art martial artists, wouldn’t that be laughable?”

“If you lose, you will have to take full responsibility!”

“I know.”

Piao Jiansheng picked up the iron sword, signaling that the battle had officially begun.

“Thank you.”

Qin Yuyan thanked him and immediately changed to sheathed long saber.

When Qin Shenglong saw that, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at her.

“This wretched girl actually went behind my back and secretly learned saber techniques! Does she want to be cut off from the Qin family? After she’s finished, I will take away her surname.”

Du Changfeng did not know whether to laugh or cry as he consoled,

“Old Qin, you need to change your way of thinking. The Qin family’s sword techniques aren’t the strongest sword techniques in this world, and the way of the sword isn’t the strongest martial art in this world either! If the child has a better path, wouldn’t that be for the better?”

“Better my *ss! She cultivated sword techniques with my guidance. What can she do with saber techniques she learned on her own?”

“Let’s wait and see.”

On the stage, both of them suppressed their cultivations below the fifth grade. That way, they would not destroy the martial arts hall and would not harm the audience.

Many people started to take out their cell phones to record, waiting to post it on the forum.

The two faced each other. The entire hall had become so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

There was tension in the air that gradually intensified.

One second!

Two seconds!

Three Seconds!

Finally, Qin Yuyan moved.

She had yet to fully comprehend the saber intent of Ye Xiao’s saber because she did not have a divine soul like Ye Xiao’s which could cultivate on its own. She might need to spend several years, or even several decades, to comprehend that saber intent!

However, Ye Xiao’s saber intent had allowed her to successfully step into the rudiments of saber techniques, and it had also allowed her to truly see the threshold of great saber techniques.

Thus, her cultivation had successfully advanced to Houtian sixth grade within a few days.

If she had cultivated using sword techniques, she might need more than half a year’s time to advance to Houtian sixth grade.

She was confident in that battle.

Her right leg moved slightly and her body bent slightly. Qin Yuyan’s hand was placed on the hilt of the saber.

Seeing that movement, Du Changfeng, who was consoling Qin Shenglong in the stands, suddenly stood up and stared at Qin Yuyan with a serious gaze.

Qin Shenglong was shocked.

“Old Du, What’s wrong?”

Du Changfeng ignored him and just stared at Qin Yuyan.

Between martial artists, a single action could reveal many things.

Qin Yuyan’s saber-drawing stance actually allowed him to see a hint of artistic conception.

In the next second, Qin Yuyan had already made her move.

With a step, her body was like a swallow, transforming into a bolt of lightning and instantly arriving beside Piao Jiansheng.

Piao Jiansheng, who had a relatively serious expression on his face, turned solemn in the blink of an eye.

Bang!

The iron sword was unsheathed, and his sword technique was released in an instant.

Clang, Clang, Clang!

In the next second, the two blades collided, and sparks flew in all directions of the arena.

“Good saber technique!”

“Holy sh*t!”

Du Changfeng could not help but praise her, while Qin Shenglong was dumbstruck and even swore.

‘When had my granddaughter… Become so powerful?’

Looking at that saber technique, even if he practiced sword art, he could tell at a glance that his granddaughter’s saber technique was extraordinary.

“Old Du, this… This…”

Excitement was revealed in Du Changfeng’s eyes.

“Old Qin, this time, your Qin family is going to have a phoenix!”

Qin Shenglong took a deep breath and looked at the arena with excitement in his eyes.

Du Changfeng was one of the strongest martial artists even in Jingdu Martial Arts Academy.

Moreover, he specialized in studying saber techniques.

Since he had said so, then Yuyan…

In the arena, the battle between Qin Yuyan and Piao Jiansheng did not start with a warm-up and directly entered a white-hot state.

The figures of the two continued to flicker in the wide arena, leaving behind afterimages. The clash of the saber and sword started with glints, but in the end, they directly rubbed against each other, creating sparks.

In just one minute, the two had clashed more than 300 times!

The sound of swords and sabers clashing could be heard without end!

In the last second, the two gathered their full strength and clashed again. Unexpectedly, a strong wind burst out, and the shockwave spread in all directions, directly pushing the two back a few steps. They held their weapons and gasped for breath.

The martial arts hall was silent for a few seconds, and then suddenly erupted with a burst of intense cheers.

“Amazing!”

“It is so exciting!”

“With the strength of a fifth-grade martial artist, it’s amazing that he fought so wonderfully. He’s truly worthy of being a genius.”

“More than that! They even caused the gust of wind to burst! It’s simply explosive!”

“I’ve decided, from today onwards, Senior Qin is my lifelong idol.”

After the two of them took a moment to catch their breath, their breathing quickly stabilized.

Piao Jiansheng stood up straight, his eyes revealing a hint of admiration.

Master was right. Even though the nine provinces had been suppressed by many great states for the past 200 years, the nine provinces were still the same nine provinces!

Outstanding people with high spirits!

Prodigies come forth in waves!

“Even though you used a saber technique, I can tell that no one in the nine provinces with the same level of combat strength can surpass you. You are worthy of me, Piao Jiansheng, to treat you seriously!”

“I can’t ask for more!”

Qin Yuyan’s gaze was resolute.

Just like what Ye Xiao had said, regardless of whether it was sword art or saber art, they continued forward.

The two of them once again gathered the spiritual energy in their bodies, and their powers were rapidly condensing together. Everyone knew that the next time they exchanged blows, it would be victory or defeat.

Time slowed down once again, and the heartbeat of the people seemed to be counting down the seconds. Thump, thump, thump, thump… Each heartbeat represented the flow of time.

Finally, the two of them attacked again.

That time, it was Piao Jiansheng who attacked first.

Professor Du’s eyes flickered.

“It’s sword sage Liu Chengxun’s famous stance, One Sword to Dominate! I never would have expected him to learn such a move. He hasn’t used this move in Jing province so I didn’t expect him to use it here.”

Qin Shenglong could also see that Piao Jiansheng’s move was extraordinary.

“Old Du, can Yuyan withstand this move?”

Professor Du tightly grabbed the corner of the table in front of him, even crushing the wooden corner into crumbles.

“I don’t know, but if she can win, her name will definitely shake the nine provinces from now on. However, even if she can’t win, being able to force Piao Jiansheng to this point is enough!”

Qin Shenglong’s heart could not help but beat faster. He stared at his granddaughter with wide eyes, not daring to even blink, afraid that he would miss the exciting battle.

“Come on, girl!”
