Hidden profession, Sword Saint——Xia Libai!

“There’s no need for that…”

Zhao Hao’s face showed a peculiar smile.

As if he had thought of something amusing.

Xia Bingxue and Tan Huan pouted beside him, looking at the two big boys with disdain.

What were they thinking about?

Li Xunle walked out of the cave with his hands in his pockets, uttering a few words:

“Follow me, everyone, into the secret realm!”

Zhao Hao chewed gum, hands in his pockets, imitating Li Xunle’s posture, and followed him.

Tan Huan and Xia Bingxue followed closely, but their gazes still showed disdain for Zhao Hao.

He imitated him so poorly!

When Li Xunle walked, he at least had a bit of swagger.

But when you, Zhao Hao, walk, why do you look like a simpleton?

Arriving before the azure vortex, Li Xunle stopped.

He turned around and looked seriously at Xia Bingxue and Tan Huan:

“I’ll say it again, I’m tough. If any problems arise, you only need to protect yourselves; you don’t need to worry about me, understood?”

Xia Bingxue and Tan Huan nodded seriously.

Zhao Hao asked tentatively from the side:

“Big Brother, what about me? Should I worry about you?”

“You? You’re definitely the one who’ll run the fastest!”

Li Xunle seemed to have seen through Zhao Hao’s nature long ago, hitting the nail on the head.

“…”

A black line appeared on Zhao Hao’s forehead:

“Big Brother, it’s not that bad…”

Li Xunle didn’t answer again, turning directly and stepping into the secret realm.

Xia Bingxue and Tan Huan followed closely behind.

Zhao Hao entered last.

After the group entered the secret realm, the light wall and vortex of the secret realm completely vanished.

As if they had never appeared… At this moment.

Thirty li southeast of Gray Mist Forest.

Dusk was approaching, but two blurry figures could still be seen in a standoff.

“Li Chen, Sword Saint! Do you dare to fight me?”

“Lin Yu, I’m not interested in PK-ing with you.”

The two speaking parties were none other than the outstanding talents of Fengchu Academy, the Sword Saint profession Li Chen, Sword Saint, and the Summoner Lin Yu.

Li Chen, Sword Saint was standing on a giant sword, suspended in the air, looking incredibly cool.

But his face showed a lack of interest; he clearly didn’t want to fight Lin Yu.

Lin Yu, on the other hand, was standing on the head of a colorful giant python, his posture as steady as an old dog, with an expression of seeking no equal.

“Are you worried you can’t beat me?” Lin Yu teased.

He was eager to try, seemingly confident of victory.

“To be frank, you’re not my opponent,” Li Chen, Sword Saint said bluntly.

In his view, battles had always been about life and death.

Not playful skirmishes.

Which meant, once he decided to fight, it implied:

Not only would they determine who was superior, but also who would live and who would die.

When Lin Yu heard Li Chen, Sword Saint say he wasn’t his opponent, he scoffed:

“You’re far too arrogant. I bet you, in the future, you definitely won’t be able to beat me.”

Li Chen, Sword Saint was calm as water:

“At least the current you is definitely not my opponent. Stop chasing me.”

He paused:

“When you’re strong enough, I will naturally fight you.”

After speaking, he prepared to leave using Sword Control Technique.

At this moment.

A voice suddenly came from around them:

“Oh ho, I, Xia, originally came to try my luck, but I didn’t expect to actually encounter Fengchu Academy’s two great masters, Li Chen, Sword Saint and Lin Yu?”

The voice was particularly abrupt.

Li Chen, Sword Saint and Lin Yu both looked towards the source of the voice.

It was a student whose clothing was emblazoned with a dragon-shaped pattern.

His face was dark, and his eyes gleamed with spirit.

The two immediately recognized the other’s identity.

Tenglong Academy!

Lin Yu looked at the other party curiously and speculated:

“Xia? Tenglong Academy? Could it be Tenglong Academy’s master—Xia Libai, Blade Saint? That hidden profession, Blade Saint?”

“It is I. I didn’t expect my reputation to have spread this far?”

Xia Libai, Blade Saint’s expression showed a slight surprise.

As the top student of Tenglong Academy, he thought the people from Fengchu Academy wouldn’t know him.

He didn’t expect these two great masters from Fengchu Academy to actually know him.

He crossed his arms over his chest, looking at Li Chen, Sword Saint, who was standing on his sword in the air, with great interest:

“Li Chen, Sword Saint? That’s your Sword Control Technique, isn’t it!”

“That’s right!”

Li Chen, Sword Saint answered very straightforwardly; there was nothing to hide.

At this moment, a trace of solemnity finally appeared in his calm eyes.

Although he stayed out of worldly affairs, he had still learned about the hidden profession, Blade Saint.

Blade Saint was equivalent to the top profession among those who wielded blades.

Aside from the legendary hidden professions, Blade Immortal and Blade God, there was probably no one more powerful than a Blade Saint.

Sword Saint and Blade Saint were almost like a needle point against a wheat awn.

Equally monstrously strong!

Swords were elegant!

Blades were domineering!

Xia Libai, Blade Saint looked at Li Chen, Sword Saint with burning eyes:

“Li Chen, Sword Saint, I really want to have a fight with you. Will you accept my challenge?”

A strong fighting spirit immediately surged in Li Chen, Sword Saint’s eyes.

But when he saw the large blade in Xia Libai, Blade Saint’s hand, with five-star light rotating on it.

His pupils contracted, and he shook his head:

“Now is not the time!”

After speaking, he departed gracefully with Sword Control Technique.

The reason he left was because the opponent’s weapon was a five-star weapon, while he currently only had a four-star weapon.

Moreover, the opponent’s blade was inlaid with attribute gems.

The attribute bonus would definitely be very high.

So he wisely shook his head and declined.

Because even if he could win, it would definitely only be a narrow victory.

Seeing Li Chen, Sword Saint leave with Sword Control Technique, the intensely battle-hungry Xia Libai, Blade Saint was greatly disappointed; he didn’t expect Li Chen, Sword Saint to actually run away.

He had come this time with a six-star skill—Thousandfold Blade Shadows.

Although it didn’t look as cool as Sword Control Technique, its power was even greater.

And it was even more domineering!

Thousandfold Blade Shadows: Can unleash a thousand layers of blade shadows to attack the target, forming dense, inescapable blade energy. It can also combine the blade shadows to form a tremendously powerful blade energy—One Slash Across the Horizon.

At this moment.

Lin Yu looked at Xia Libai, Blade Saint, fighting spirit surging.

“How about we give it a try?”

Xia Libai, Blade Saint’s eyes lit up, narrowing slightly, and he said excitedly:

“Come on!”

…At this moment.

In a nearby shadow.

A faintly discernible figure quietly watched this scene, with a half-smile.

His face was youthful, and his clothes were black and white.

He gently shook his head, muttering to himself:

“The power is good, but… it’s still lacking something.”

After speaking, his figure vanished from where he stood.

As if he had never been there… Students from Fengchu Academy passing by, hearing the commotion of the battle, all rushed over.

When they saw Lin Yu fighting with an unfamiliar person, they were stunned.

Because the person fighting Lin Yu looked to be of similar age to them.

But who was Lin Yu?

He was one of Fengchu Academy’s great masters.

And who was this person fighting him? He could actually contend with Lin Yu’s Devouring Python, and even had the upper hand.

Finally, someone exclaimed:

“This guy is from Tenglong Academy, uses a blade, and can fight Lin Yu’s Devouring Python. He must be that Blade Saint Xia Libai, Blade Saint, right?”

“Good heavens, he actually dares to bully people from our academy!”

“Exactly, I can’t stand it anymore, brothers, let’s go!”

“Mages, archers, get him!”

The people from Fengchu Academy immediately took action, preparing to attack Xia Libai, Blade Saint.

Seeing the situation was unfavorable, Xia Libai, Blade Saint immediately retreated:

“You Fengchu Academy people are really united! I’m retreating for now. Next time at the Three Academies Grand Competition, I’ll teach you a good lesson.”

Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xia Libai, Blade Saint leave.

He could clearly feel that Xia Libai, Blade Saint’s combat power was stronger than his own.

Even with the Devouring Python, he felt a bit overwhelmed.

Unless he contracted another ferocious beast, or waited for the Devouring Python to grow for a while longer.

“This Xia Libai, Blade Saint is not to be underestimated!”
