Who Let Him Cultivate?!

"Finally got it done,"

For some reason, after fighting with Xue Shilou, Lu Yang felt inexplicably tired, as if he had fought three people.

Originally, Lu Yang wanted to finish the fight quickly and watch the battles of the other people in the second group.

Now, he just wanted to sit down and rest for a while.

"Right, Fairy, didn't someone in the audience just shout something about the Snow Emperor bloodline? Do you know what that is?"

Fairy Eternity shook her head, "I haven't heard of it. It's probably not anyone formidable. Didn't you just defeat his offspring?"

Lu Yang felt that Xue Shilou was quite challenging to fight. It was the first time he encountered an opponent at the same level who took three consecutive Chopping Techniques.

Oh, that's not quite accurate, either. It should be said it was the first time he encountered an opponent at the same level who took three consecutive Chopping Techniques.

After all, he had opponents like Master of All Laws, Yingtian Immortal, Qilin Immortal, and such. They would have no big problems taking three Chopping Techniques.

Lu Yang also felt embarrassed to ask the Sword Cultivator from the Extreme Northern Lands about the Snow Emperor bloodline.

From the reaction of the Sword Cultivator from the Extreme Northern Lands, it seemed that the Snow Emperor bloodline was quite terrifying, and might hold a high status in the hearts of the cultivators from the Extreme Northern Lands.

He had just defeated Xue Shilou, so asking what the Snow Emperor was and if it was formidable felt akin to rubbing salt into wounds—such a foolish act was not something even Fairy Eternity would do.

"Hey, why don't you just ask the Sword Cultivator from the Extreme Northern Lands? Then you will know what the Snow Emperor bloodline is," Fairy Eternity, as Lu Yang's golden finger, came up with a good plan to give him advice and help him strategize.

Lu Yang: "..."

"Congratulations on the win," Yun Mengmeng approached with a beaming smile to congratulate him.

"Easy peasy." In front of a Golden Core Cultivator, Lu Yang still had to put on an act, not showing any sign of weariness.

Seeing Lu Yang step down, the crowd voluntarily made way for him.

The three moves of the Chopping Technique were nothing more than the most basic sword skills of a Sword Cultivator, but in Lu Yang's hands, they seemed to have undergone a metamorphosis—far more potent than any they had seen.

Few could withstand even a single move.

Practicing the most basic sword skills to such a level of power, one could imagine how hard Lu Yang must have trained in private.

Not only was his Swordsmanship Talent exceptional, but his work ethic seemed to exceed others, too. How could they compete with that?

"Elder Brother Lu Yang, have you finished your fight too?" Mingtai came over to find Lu Yang after his own match concluded.

"I just finished fighting Xue Shilou from the Extreme Northern Lands. What about you?"

"I just finished fighting a big black dog from the Demon Territory," Mingtai recalled the recent fight, feeling restless and uncomfortable all over, wanting to take a shower.

"The big black dog was wielding a sword in its mouth and shaking saliva all over the place, even splashed it on me."

The attack power of the big black dog was average, but the mental shock it brought was tremendous. The Sword Cultivators from the Demon Territory knew what fighting with the big black dog entailed, and nobody wished to draw him as an opponent.

Luckily, the one with the misfortune was Mingtai.

After the second group's battles concluded, the third, fourth... up to the thirty-second group's battles all ended smoothly, leading to another round of chaos and re-drawing of lots.

Next, Lu Yang encountered a Female Cultivator disguised as a man, trying to prove that women too could become top Sword Cultivators.

"Chop."

He encountered a daughter who took her father's place in the Swordsmanship Tournament when he fell ill and couldn't leave his bed.

"Chop."

He encountered a Female Sword Cultivator who believed only the strong could become her husband and came to challenge the best.

"Mingtai, let's switch opponents."

"Ah, oh."

"Little Yang, Little Yang, I want to try going up there too after a while," Immortal Lu said.

Fairy Eternity watched as Yue Chuan and his wife, Sword Spirit Ah Lan, combined forces to become unbeatable, conquering all adversaries before finally falling to Lu Yang's hands.

Even though they were defeated, Fairy Eternity thought the cooperation between the sword cultivator and the sword spirit in battle was cool and wanted to try it for herself.

"Ah? Fairy, you're going to take action?"

Lu Yang thought to himself, do I need to get the Sword Tower Supreme and the Zither and Sword Venerable resurrected and tied up for your match?

"Oh dear, I won't reveal my face," said Fairy Eternity with a giggle, knowing she had to keep a low profile and not show herself in public.

"When the time comes, you just need to hold tight to the Green Peak Sword."

Lu Yang had no idea how Fairy Eternity planned to fight and was quite perplexed, but since it was a request from Fairy Eternity, he could only accept it.

"Lu Yang, fellow cultivator, I didn't expect to cross swords with you at the Sword Inquiry Ceremony."

This time, Lu Yang's opponent was Qiu Kun from the Chaos Tribe.

Lu Yang had watched Qiu Kun's battles several times; indeed, there was something unique about him. His fighting style emphasized the integration of Yin and Yang and the combination of hardness with softness. His sword skills transitioned extremely smoothly, leaving his opponents no chance to react.

"I also didn't anticipate that the Chaos Tribe would have a swordsmanship expert like you. It's truly regrettable that I didn't cross swords with you when I visited the Demon Territory."

This integration of Yin and Yang, this combination of hardness with softness, it was somewhat similar to the Dao Fruit of Immortal Jiuchong. Lu Yang felt it was better to adapt to this simpler version in advance, rather than suddenly facing the Yin and Yang torment from Immortal Jiuchong.

As soon as the fight began, the Green Peak Sword took Lu Yang by surprise, lunging straight at Qiu Kun and giving both Lu Yang and Qiu Kun a huge shock.

Lu Yang didn't expect this to be Fairy Eternity's way of fighting, and Qiu Kun didn't expect this to be Lu Yang's way of fighting either.

Qiu Kun was known for his unpredictable and surprising fighting style, but this time, to his astonishment, Lu Yang had seized the initiative.

"Indeed a tough opponent, disrupting my train of thought right from the beginning!"

"Right, only an opponent like this is challenging!"

"Lu Yang, let's fight!"

"Little Yang, let's charge!" the Sword Spirit in the Green Peak Sword shouted with a voice only Lu Yang could hear, frolicking like a runaway wild horse. If not for Lu Yang's tight grip, he might have been thrown off.

The Tower Manager watched Lu Yang with a serious expression and said to the Elders sitting on both sides.

"Young talents are frightening, haven't you noticed? The Green Peak Sword always moves first, and then Lu Yang follows."

"What does this mean? It means that Lu Yang has reached the legendary alternative realm of Unity of Man and Sword, where the thought reaches the Green Peak Sword first, and then the body!"

"The sword is the master, he is the servant; so that's what it means."

"Amazing indeed."

One of the Elders couldn't help but ask, "Let's put Lu Yang's matter aside for now. After Mingtai defeated that female sword cultivator, she has been clamoring to become Mingtai's wife. What should we do?"

Another Elder was anxious, "That's not possible! We cannot allow Mingtai to do something that would dishonor the Venerate!"

On the stage, Fairy Eternity grasped a new level of Unity of Man and Sword, controlling the Green Peak Sword to fling Lu Yang around, making him collide with Qiu Kun.

"Hey ya!"

With no other choice, Lu Yang had to wrap himself in Sword Qi and kick at Qiu Kun.

Qiu Kun, famous for his variable sword skills, couldn't have expected this kind of tactic, and again, each of Lu Yang's attacks took him by surprise, beyond his expectations.

"Is this the legendary embodiment of the sword, the body itself becoming the sword?"

"Chain Sword Qi Kick!"

Lu Yang shouted, his leg skills were also exceptional, and his feet tumbled rapidly, each kick charged with Sword Qi striking Qiu Kun's chest. The attack was like a fierce storm, leaving no time for reaction and directly kicking him off the stage!
