133: Pointing out the sword intent
“Qian Duoduo, go take care of this kid.”
Among the noble students, a young man dressed in luxurious clothes spoke to a chubby boy covered in gold next to him.
The chubby boy nodded upon hearing this.
His name was Qian Duoduo, and his family background was definitely among the top tier in the academy.
Precisely because of this, Qian Duoduo received a large amount of resources and cultivation from a young age. Now, at only sixteen years old, he had already reached the Blood Refining and Energy Transformation Realm, just half a step away from being able to Breakthrough to the Yuanqi Realm.
“Qian Duoduo is making his move!”
“He's the tenth-ranked expert in the academy. With him stepping forward, Shen Xi won't be able to act so arrogantly.”
“Hahaha, I'd like to see how Shen Xi can still be arrogant.”
“He said that if he leaves the chair, he loses. When Qian Duoduo makes his move, it won't just be leaving the chair, he'll be beaten until he's spitting teeth all over the floor!”
The noble students couldn't help but speak up.
Compared to other students, they harbored even more intense hatred for Shen Xi.
One reason was naturally due to the incident with Zhao Minsheng.
The other reason was that noble students inherently looked down on commoner students, and naturally wouldn't allow a commoner student like Shen Xi to exist and be so arrogant.
Amidst the crowd's discussions, Qian Duoduo also walked onto the dueling stage.
A long sword appeared in his hand, and he cupped his fist towards Shen Xi.
“Qian Duoduo, please enlighten me.”
Shen Xi raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.
This opponent was quite rare among noble students, actually being polite.
Furthermore, he hadn't expected Qian Duoduo to also be a Sword Cultivator.
One must know that Sword Cultivators are generally only cultivated by those with unwavering resolve.
He hadn't expected this chubby boy, who looked round, to still possess a hint of arrogance in his bones.
“A bit interesting. Seeing as you are a Sword Cultivator, I'll give you a chance.”
Shen Xi nodded with considerable satisfaction.
And as soon as these words came out, it was like poking a hornet's nest.
“Give a chance? What does he think he is?”
“What kind of chance does he want to give Qian Duoduo?”
“Could it be a chance to fight? That's hilarious, does he think if he's unwilling, Qian Duoduo won't make a move?”
“In this situation, even if Shen Xi is unwilling, Qian Duoduo won't show mercy.”
The taunts were incessant, but Shen Xi still ignored them.
As for Qian Duoduo, he also frowned in confusion.
He also didn't know what chance Shen Xi was referring to.
The next second.
Shen Xi pointed a finger.
And accompanying this finger was the Sword Intent hidden within it.
Qian Duoduo hurriedly swung his sword, attempting to block it, but the finger was like a phantom, easily breaking through his defense, and then landed on him.
“This is!”
It wasn't until this moment that Qian Duoduo finally realized what Shen Xi's 'chance' meant.
Seeing that he was a Sword Cultivator, the other party intended to offer guidance, allowing him to personally experience what Sword Intent truly was.
Just this one finger was enough to significantly clarify Qian Duoduo's understanding of the path of a Sword Cultivator.
While it wouldn't lead to him immediately comprehending Sword Intent, at the very least, he knew what Sword Intent was.
If, before, Qian Duoduo had no chance of comprehending Sword Intent in this lifetime, then because of Shen Xi's guidance, he now had a ten percent hope of comprehending Sword Intent.
This alone was an immeasurable favor.
“Thank you!”
Qian Duoduo was now utterly impressed by Shen Xi.
He clearly understood what this meant.
Saying this, he bowed respectfully to Shen Xi.
At this moment, he finally understood why the academy had sent Shen Xi to teach them a lesson.
A person so young who had already comprehended Sword Intent and whose strength was unfathomable, could not only crush them but also make them realize that there were always people stronger and higher, compelling them to shed their worthless pride.
“Go down!”
Shen Xi waved his hand.
“I concede!”
Qian Duoduo also quickly announced loudly.
However, this scene left the surrounding students utterly bewildered.
How did Qian Duoduo concede?
Although Shen Xi's finger had landed on Qian Duoduo, it seemed Qian Duoduo wasn't injured and should still have had the strength to fight.
To concede so easily, could he be an accomplice?
Many people had this thought.
They didn't know what that finger meant.
Especially since Sword Intent was contained within that finger, no one but Qian Duoduo knew it contained Sword Intent.
Otherwise, everyone present would certainly not question it, but only feel fear.
And no one would entertain the thought of competing with Shen Xi anymore.
“Qian Duoduo, what's wrong with you?”
The luxuriously dressed young man who had earlier told Qian Duoduo to go on stage questioned him.
He had thought that with Qian Duoduo personally making a move, dealing with a mere Shen Xi would be effortless.
But the other party just conceded like that?
“I am not his opponent.”
Qian Duoduo shook his head, completely convinced.
“Nonsense! You just took one of his fingers, but you weren't injured. You clearly still had the strength to fight, yet you just conceded like that. You've completely disgraced us noble students.”
The luxuriously dressed young man said, enraged.
He only felt humiliated; the dignified tenth-ranked student just conceded like that.
“Forget it, since you can't be relied on, I'll go up myself. I want to see why this kid is so arrogant.”
As the luxuriously dressed young man spoke, he was about to step onto the stage.
“I advise you not to go up.”
Qian Duoduo tried to stop the luxuriously dressed young man.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he was interrupted: “You're afraid of him, but I'm not. You are a disgrace to us noble students!”
Being humiliated like this, Qian Duoduo couldn't be bothered to tell the luxuriously dressed young man about Sword Intent.
Only when the other party fell would he know how terrible the fall was.
Talking was meaningless; only fists could speak.
“Hmph!”
The luxuriously dressed young man rolled his eyes disdainfully and walked towards the dueling stage.
As he moved, the entire venue immediately erupted.
“Yun Feiyang is going to make a move!”
“He is the number one in our academy!”
“Not only that, he is also the only expert at the Minor Completion of Vital Energy Realm.”
“That's right, everyone else is at most at the Initial Stage of Yuanqi Realm, only he is at the Minor Completion of Vital Energy Realm.”
“Not only that, it is said that he has also mastered an Acquired Martial Arts, and cultivated it to the Perfection Realm, making him among the top tier even within the Minor Completion of Vital Energy Realm.”
“With Yun Feiyang here, Shen Xi won't be arrogant for much longer.”
“I think, even if Yun Feiyang doesn't make a move, just sending any of the top three Yuanqi Realm experts would be enough to crush Shen Xi.”
The noble students all excitedly waved their fists.
Finally, this commoner student could be dealt with.
A mere commoner student daring to dream of stepping on their heads was simply wishful thinking!
Commoners should act like commoners.
