Chapter 364 Royal Family’s Secret Child (1/2)
”Take out your sword.” Xing Chongzhi pointed his red sword at Yuan with a confident smile on his face.
Yuan nodded and retrieved his Empyrean Overlord, shocking the spectators.
”Is that…?”
”That's a Soul Weapon! He has a Soul Weapon!”
The spectators immediately recognized the Empyrean Overlord as a Soul Weapon despite its lack of aura— or perhaps that's how they knew it was a Soul Weapon right away.
”I didn't recognize it because of the chaotic situation at that time, but to think he has a Soul Weapon as well…” Xi Meili mumbled in a slightly surprised voice.
”As well? Does this mean you also have one?” Wang Xiuying asked her.
”Yes. It's our family heritage that was left behind by our Dragon Ancestor. It's a powerful spear that is rumored to have the capabilities to pierce even the heavens.” Xi Meili nodded.
On the stage, after his initial surprise, Xing Chongzhi smiled and said, ”A Soul Weapon, huh? I'm envious.”
”Are the two of you ready?” The judge asked them.
”Ready when you are.” Xing Chongzhi said to Yuan.
”I am ready as well.”
”Then the match begins now!”
”I'm going to bet ten spirit stones on Xing Chongzhi!” One of the spectators suddenly said.
”I'll bet fifteen on that young man!”
”Fifty for Xing Chongzhi!”
”Twenty-five spirit stones for Xing Chongzhi!”
The spectators began shouting out their bets with most of them betting on Xing Chongzhi's victory, which wasn't too surprising due to his perfect win rate when he wields a sword.
Furthermore, Xing Chongzhi knew Sword Aura, something that could be used even as a Spirit Master.
”I will bet one thousand spirit stones on Yuan!” A clear voice suddenly resounded, causing the people to turn to look at this person who dared to bet such a large amount.
”Princess Xi? You think this young man is going to win?” One of them couldn't help but ask her.
”Not really. I'm just hoping for a miracle to happen,” she said with a calm smile on her face.
Meanwhile, on the stage, Xing Chongzhi suddenly released his Sword Aura, filling the area with a domineering pressure.
The audience was immediately awed by Xing Chongzhi's Sword Aura.
”Wow! How long has it been since I last saw Xing Chongzhi's Sword Aura?”
”I have seen it many times now, but it still leaves me speechless.”
”As expected of a swordmaster. Even though he's not directing the Sword Aura at me, I can still feel as though there are invisible swords surrounding me!”
”Sword Aura, huh?” Yuan was pleasantly surprised that his opponent knew Sword Aura too!
”You're not the only one who can use Sword Aura!” Yuan said with a smile on his face before releasing his own Sword Aura, immediately colliding with Xing Chongzhi's Sword Aura.
”What! Impossible!”
The first to express her shock and disbelief was Xi Meili.
If she remembers correctly, Yuan mentioned that he was only 18 years old! How could someone comprehend Sword Aura at such a young age?!
It took Xing Chongzhi 700 years to understand Sword Aura and he was considered a top genius with the sword!
