22: Chapter 22 Was this king really that powerful?

"Damn it!"

Although Chun Xiaobai was dazed, his attention remained locked on this guy.

This was a good habit he had cultivated over many years!

He was just preparing to hit him again when suddenly a breeze swept past his eyes. Elder Gu appeared between the two again, his two fingers casually clamping down on the longsword Zhao Wuyuan had thrust forward.

His gaze turned to Chun Xiaobai, saying with a gratified expression:

"The outcome is decided; there is no need to continue fighting."

"What?!"

The surrounding crowd was collectively shocked upon hearing this.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated who won or lost, anyone with a discerning eye could see that their pride and joy, Senior Brother Zhao, had actually lost to this unknown Chun Xiaobai.

And it only took one sword strike!

"Elder Gu... I!" Zhao Wuyuan still wanted to say something.

But Gu Changfeng suddenly raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Both of you are not bad."

"You, your strength lies in the stable control of your sword momentum; while Chun Xiaobai, his strength lies in his blade... no, sword technique, which has reached the pinnacle of perfection."

"What?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's breathing hitched, as if they were being choked by an invisible hand.

The pinnacle of perfection!

This Realm is not something an ordinary person can reach!

Those who can reach the pinnacle of perfection mean that their understanding and application of the Dao have already transcended the category of 'technique' and touched the threshold of 'Intent'.

In other words, has Chun Xiaobai already condensed his own Sword Intent?

One must know that in the entire Outer Sect of the Qingyun Sect, the number of people who have been able to condense their own Sword Intent over the past hundred years can be counted on one hand.

And Zhao Wuyuan was already the Disciple closest to condensing Sword Intent; who would have thought that Chun Xiaobai had actually condensed his own Sword Intent and was only revealing it now?

In fact, Gu Changfeng had intentionally downplayed it.

If he had directly stated that Chun Xiaobai had already condensed a "Blade Soul".

Such talent would surely cause a sensation among the upper echelons of the entire Qingyun Sect.

But he could see that Chun Xiaobai belonged to that type of unruly, rebellious Disciple.

Exposing him to the limelight too early would either lead to him being forcibly recruited by certain factions, or he would be viewed as a threat and suppressed; neither was a good thing.

Of course, the most important point was that if this kid wanted to show off, he probably would have done so long ago, rather than waiting until today when he was forced onto the stage to be compelled to reveal his hand.

Chun Xiaobai saw the pairs of envious, jealous, and fanatical eyes around him... he was somewhat flattered, and his heart felt wonderful.

"Am I, am I really that powerful?"

Oh my, oh my, don't look at This Great King like that, or This Great King will really get carried away!

"Alright, everyone disperse." Gu Changfeng waved his hand, dismissing the crowd.

Zhao Wuyuan glared fiercely at Chun Xiaobai, his mouth moved, but in the end, he didn't make a sound and turned to leave.

This unconvinced look of his was just captured by Chun Xiaobai.

"This kid seems to still be unconvinced!"

Chun Xiaobai immediately raised his guard.

Because he could clearly feel that if this guy used his spiritual power, he would definitely not be his match right now.

That's right!

That moment when my head was tapped just now, why did it feel like the Ancestral Master had possessed me?

What on earth is going on?

"Senior Brother Chun, I never expected you to be a hidden Genius of the Sword Dao!" Fang Yuan ran over excitedly, throwing his arm around his shoulder, directly interrupting his train of thought.

"Hmm, you flatter me, you flatter me." Chun Xiaobai waved his hand indifferently, with the demeanor of a 'Great King'.

Bai Jiner also looked at Chun Xiaobai with a face full of admiration, stars flickering in her eyes; she even felt some regret for her previous rashness.

How could she have mistaken such an amazing Senior Brother for a Utility Disciple?

She really had no eye for talent.

Chun Xiaobai noticed that the gazes of many people around him had changed from envy to fanaticism, and some bold female Disciples were even squeezing towards him.

He hurriedly pulled Fang Yuan and whispered: "Let's go!"

His current identity couldn't afford to become famous!

If his cover was blown, how could he pull off a big job here in the Qingyun Sect?

...

The envious gazes of the crowd automatically parted a path for the three of them.

A moment later.

The three arrived at the foot of Green Bamboo Peak. When the gatekeeper Wu Liang and that female Disciple saw the three of them, they raised their hands from far away, making a respectful cupped-fist salute.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Chun! Greetings, Senior Brother Fang! Greetings, Junior Sister Bai!"

"Hmm." Chun Xiaobai nodded calmly, looking at the two with an expressionless face, though his palms were actually sweating.

"Please, you three!"

Hearing this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, being a familiar face is useful; there was no need to check identity tokens.

After Wu Liang watched the three leave with a face full of smiles, he turned around to stop others and began checking their identities one by one.

Someone nearby asked curiously: "Sigh, Senior Brother Wu, you don't know yet, right?"

"That Senior Brother Chun just now defeated the top-ten Sword Dao Genius Zhao Wuyuan with a single sword strike at the Martial Arts Field!"

"What?!"

When Wu Liang heard this news, he immediately gasped, and in his heart, he thanked Fang Yuan's ancestors for eight generations over.

Damn it, he had actually introduced such a golden thigh for him to get to know!

Even if his belongings were stolen, it wasn't much of a loss!

"Senior Brother Chun, from now on, our Sword Technique guidance will all depend on you!"

On the way, Fang Yuan kept flattering him, almost bowing down to him on the spot.

Bai Jiner looked at Chun Xiaobai's profile, the expression of admiration in her eyes never fading.

She also didn't expect that the Senior Brother who gave her the foundation establishment pill was actually a Senior Brother who could rank in the top hundred on Green Bamboo Peak.

No matter what they said, Chun Xiaobai just kept nodding to deal with them.

At this moment, he was really too hungry to have any energy, and couldn't be bothered to argue with them about so much.

Because after his forehead was thumped just now, now that he had recovered, he felt ravenously hungry,

just like he hadn't eaten for three days and three nights, and then gone to carry a hundred loads of water; he felt like his chest was sticking to his back.

As the three were walking, Bai Jiner suddenly stopped, saying somewhat reluctantly.

"Two Senior Brothers, I will take my leave now."

Chun Xiaobai looked at the dense area of Immortal Caves on the left and understood that this young girl's Immortal Cave was right at the foot of the mountain.

He looked at the sycophantic Fang Yuan, and then at the admiring Bai Jiner.

The entry point for solving his own Cultivation problems was still this young girl; she was more reliable.

After all, she was his guide on the path of immortality, and she happened to know his identity; knowing one more person meant one more danger.

So he immediately spoke up.

"That... Junior Sister Bai, I still have some extra Medicinal Pills in my Immortal Cave; it's a waste to just leave them there."

"If you don't mind, come with me and take them all."

"Ah!!!"

Bai Jiner was stunned for a moment, and then her pretty face instantly turned completely red.

The sun was about to set, and Senior Brother Chun was actually inviting her to his Immortal Cave... this, this purpose was simply self-evident!

Fang Yuan knew his chance to perform had arrived, so he hurriedly pushed Bai Jiner.

"Junior Sister Bai, you should go."

"Senior Brother Chun is a rare Sword Dao Genius in the Sect; just a few casual pointers from him would be enough for you to ponder on your own for over a decade."

"This... this..." Bai Jiner stammered, at a loss for what to do.

Chun Xiaobai was also stunned watching her conflicted appearance.

You're giving away Medicinal Pills for free and she still has this expression?

Bai Jiner secretly looked at Chun Xiaobai and found his eyes clear, not appearing to be fake; in the end, she gritted her teeth and agreed.

"Then... alright!"

Hopefully... Senior Brother Chun is not the kind of person she thought.
