99: Xiao Hongyuan's Blue Star Sparkling Sword

"Hehe, Xiao Hongyuan, you have good luck. This sword is called the Blue Star Shimmering Sword!" Lin Chuan said with a chuckle.

"Lin... Little Brother, this is clearly just a sword hilt. Why do you say it's a sword?" the Drunken Daoist below the stage asked hesitantly.

"Hehe, Xiao Hongyuan, why don't you show them?" Lin Chuan smiled.

Xiao Hongyuan nodded, reached out to take the sword hilt from the box, and slightly circulated her Spiritual Qi to infuse it into the hilt.

With a 'buzz,' a deep blue light rose from the simple and ancient sword hilt, slowly gathering into the shape of a blade.

Xiao Hongyuan brandished it a few times in her hand, making faint sounds of breaking the wind.

"This..." The Drunken Daoist looked at the blue light sword in Xiao Hongyuan's hand in disbelief. Not only was its appearance magnificent, but from the faint wind, he could tell that this sword was not only sharp but also likely made of extremely light material.

"Have you ever heard of such a sword-forging technique?" an old man below the stage asked.

The big shots present all shook their heads and then looked at Copper Hammer. After all, the Dwarf Clan's Artifact Refining techniques were very famous, even after a thousand years.

Copper Hammer also shook his head solemnly and said, "I have never seen it either!"

Jian Wenxuan jumped onto the stage holding the wenyuan sword and smiled, "Kite, come, let me test the sword for you!"

Xiao Hongyuan didn't hesitate either. Holding the blue light sword, she actually performed the Ghost Sword Technique. The light sword split into two, and she directly attacked Jian Wenxuan.

As the Ghost Sword Technique was performed, several big shots below the stage who were skilled in the Dao of the sword all stood up in surprise, staring intently at Xiao Hongyuan's sword Moves.

Unlike in the Secret Realm, Xiao Hongyuan was now in the Golden Core Realm. While performing the Ghost Sword Technique, she also integrated her own sword techniques, making the power extremely formidable.

"This little girl is not simple. At such a young age, her understanding of the Dao of the sword is very profound!" an old man with a long sword at his waist sighed.

"Indeed. Sigh, it's a pity she's not my Disciple. Otherwise, my Dao of the sword would have a successor!" another old man carrying a long sword said with some regret.

Seeing that the light sword in Xiao Hongyuan's hand had split into two and her offensive was like waves, one after another, Jian Wenxuan couldn't help but become serious.

The moment the wenyuan sword collided with Xiao Hongyuan's light sword, a force of icy coldness actually traveled through the wenyuan sword into Jian Wenxuan's body, making his movements a bit sluggish.

"Eh?" Jian Wenxuan made a sound of confusion and quickly used Spiritual Qi to dissolve the icy coldness in his body.

In that split second, the blade in Xiao Hongyuan's left hand also slashed toward Jian Wenxuan.

Jian Wenxuan dodged the strike by a hair's breadth and quickly retreated.

"Haha, Jian Wenxuan, are you capable or not? You almost had your throat slit by a Golden Core girl! And you call yourself a veteran Soul Transformation powerhouse," the old man with the sword at his waist mocked.

Jian Wenxuan's Face turned red upon hearing this, and he shot back, "Yi Jianwu, stop making sarcastic remarks. Why don't you come up and try it yourself?"

"Oh? Then this old man will give it a try and see how well you've taught this Disciple!" After saying that, the old man went straight onto the stage.

"Hehe, little girl, don't hold back. Attack with all your strength and let this old man see your skills!" Yi Jianwu laughed.

Xiao Hongyuan saw Jian Wenxuan nod to her, so she cupped her hands and said, "Senior, please excuse my rudeness!"

After saying that, she directly performed the Three-Stage Slash and attacked with extreme speed!

With the boost of real-world Spiritual Qi, the Three-Stage Slash was incredibly fast. Cultivators with lower cultivation only saw three flashes of sword light before Xiao Hongyuan reached Yi Jianwu's side.

Yi Jianwu was also startled and quickly drew the long sword from his waist to Block Xiao Hongyuan's offensive.

"Hehe, this combined Move of movement and sword technique is not bad! Eh?" Just as Yi Jianwu praised her, he also felt the icy coldness enter his body and quickly used Spiritual Qi to dissolve it.

But Xiao Hongyuan's offensive did not stop. The Ghost Sword Technique (Cultivation Version) was activated, and she once again held a light blade in each hand, her continuous sword momentum attacking the old man directly.

Every time the old man blocked, a force of icy coldness would enter his body, making him very uncomfortable.

Helpless and afraid of losing Face like Jian Wenxuan, he quickly adjusted his strength to the Nascent Soul Realm. He slashed out while Xiao Hongyuan's strength from her previous strike hadn't dissipated, saying, "Little girl, you're very good, but you're still a bit green!"

This strike wasn't meant to kill Xiao Hongyuan but only to repel her, so it didn't contain Sword Qi, just a bit more power.

To his surprise, Xiao Hongyuan's body suddenly turned into an afterimage. She actually ignored the recovery animation of her previous Move and performed a quick small hop backward, perfectly dodging Yi Jianwu's slash, and then struck out with a sword at extreme speed.

Yi Jianwu didn't react in time, and with a 'rip,' a corner of his robe was cut off by Xiao Hongyuan.

"Hahaha, Yi Jianwu, you still talk about me? Even when you attacked at the Nascent Soul Realm, didn't you also suffer a loss!" Jian Wenxuan quickly mocked him back.

Yi Jianwu stood stunned on the stage, repeatedly analyzing Xiao Hongyuan's common-sense-defying strike from just now, still not knowing how it was executed.

"Hehe, little girl, how about you take me as your master?" Yi Jianwu ignored Jian Wenxuan's mockery, his eyes full of appreciation for a Genius.

"Hey, hey, hey! Yi Jianwu, have you no shame? Trying to steal a Divine Sword Sect Disciple, are you?" Jian Wenxuan got anxious as soon as he heard this and quickly jumped onto the stage to stop him.

"Senior, thank you for your favor, but I have already joined the Divine Sword Sect!" Xiao Hongyuan refused neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Sigh." Yi Jianwu sighed, knowing there was no hope for taking her as a Disciple. Ignoring Jian Wenxuan, he turned and left the stage.

Jian Wenxuan asked curiously, "Kite, can you let me see this sword of yours?"

Xiao Hongyuan nodded and handed the light sword to Jian Wenxuan.

As soon as Jian Wenxuan took the long sword, the deep blue blade instantly vanished without a trace.

Surprised, he began to infuse Spiritual Qi into the hilt, but it remained motionless.

Helplessly, he could only return the light sword to Xiao Hongyuan and said, "It seems I can't use it. This sword of yours is very strange; every time I touch it, I feel a trace of icy coldness enter my body, forcing me to get distracted to dissolve it."

At this time, Lin Chuan interjected, "Hehe, this sword is already bound to her, so others can't use it. The icy coldness you mentioned is because this sword's attacks come with an inherent Ice Attribute!"

When Lin Chuan said this, many people suddenly understood. To think that a unique attribute from the Secret Realm would be so useful out here.

"Alright, let Xiao Hongyuan step down first. We will continue to give out rewards for the third place!" Lin Chuan said.

Jian Wenxuan and Xiao Hongyuan walked off the stage together. Especially Jian Wenxuan, who kept glancing at Yi Jianwu as he walked, afraid the old fellow would suddenly jump out again to steal his Disciple.

"Alright, now let's invite A Fei Works Very Hard Today, who came in third in this leveling event with Level 24 and 60% experience, to come up and receive his prize!" Lin Chuan quickly announced.
