Chapter 313 - The One-Armed Martial Spiri (1/2)
t
Leng Jianxiong was one of the most anticipated disciples among the participants, who possessed a fourth-grade Xuan ranked Martial Spirit. Before his brother Leng Aotian had shown himself, he was no doubt the first ranked disciple in the Primary Candidates Ranking.
“How many inches do you guys think Leng Jianxiong can achieve?”
“I guess it will be more than ten inches!”
“……”
Some geniuses began to chat among themselves with glistening eyes.
They had no doubt witnessed the difficulty of drawing out the Heavy Sword with a Sharp Edge before, and were quite familiar with it.
“Green Vine Martial Spirit!”
Leng Jianxiong uttered a yell while unleashing his Martial Spirit, which appeared to be a green vine. Following his thought, the green vine sprang forward like a poisonous snake, and coiled around the hilt of the broadsword. In just less than a breath’s time, the vine had completely coiled itself around the broadsword.
“My green vine, at my will!”
Leng Jianxiong uttered a roar, as a brilliant green glow suddenly burst out from the green vine. The green vine tightened its grip, before it vigorously pulled the broadsword upward.
Clash!
Clash!
Clash!
Following a series of clashes, under the crowd’s attention, the hefty broadsword was lifted upward from the ground. One inch, two inches, three inches… Its movement came to a stop after being raised a total of fourteen inches from the ground. However, it did not matter how hard the green vine was trying to pull it upward, the broadsword remained motionless.
“A result of fourteen inches, you’ve passed the trial!”
The assessing officer declared.
The eyes of Jianghuang and the other authorities were filled with surprise, as he had managed to pull the broadsword fourteen inches out from the ground with his Martial Spirit. This result alone was on par with the top geniuses in previous years!
“My turn!”
A pleasant voice was heard, as the second-ranked participant of the Primary Candidates Ranking, Hong Fu, sprang forward like a fireball, and landed on top of the broadsword. Following this, without unleashing her Martial Spirit, she executed some sort of powerful secret technique, causing her hands to be engulfed in flames, and pulled the sword upward!
Clash clash clash clash… A result of thirteen inches!
The surrounding crowd let out a cheer after seeing this, even Leng Jianxiong himself was quite impressed, as Hong Fu was able to achieve such result without unleashing her Martial Spirit. That being said, some Martial Spirits might not be useful in trials like this. For example, an Armor Plate Martial Spirit or a Brush Martial Spirit would not be able to draw the sword out from the ground; it’s possible that Hong Fu’s Martial Spirit belonged to this category.
“Hehe, interesting. I’ll show you how to pull it twenty inches out from the ground!”
“HAHA! I shall make you feel ashamed!”
“……”
Following the entries of the two geniuses, the atmosphere of the entire square-shaped dojo was lightened up. After all, the remaining participants were all super geniuses, who would not easily surrender or admit defeat.
Upon seeing this, a smile blossomed on Jianghuang’s face.
As expected, as the trial continued, the geniuses no longer wore confident looks on their faces.
Apart from Leng Jianxiong and Hong Fu, the best result that was acquired was only nine inches!
This Heavy Sword with a Sharp Edge is indeed as difficult as the rumors described!
