Chapter 77: In the Dream, It’s Super Impressive
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The battle between Xia Long and his opponent was completely one-sided.
Xia Long did not attack from the beginning to the end, but his opponent could not break through his defense no matter how hard he tried. In the end, he chose to give up with a dejected expression.
During the next few battles, Feng Qi and Lin Ran dozed off.
It was not that the combat strength of the freshmen was weak, but the restrictions of the rules made it impossible for them to unleash their strength.
In such close combat, body cultivators had an innate advantage. Students who were inclined towards spells could not use it at all.
He did not choose to leave because he was looking forward to Xia Long and Lv Yue’s encounter.
Both of them were promising talents. As long as they were not spies, they were worth nurturing.
…..
In the future, he would definitely establish a domain combat team. After all, with the domain information in the future database, it was equivalent to grasping the secret to clearing many domains.
At the same time, there were all kinds of resources he needed in the domain that could satisfy the consumption of entering the dream and establishing an organization.
In the future, creating Savior would also require huge expenses, such as artwork, virtual engine development, and so on.
The source of funding for this portion of expenditure would have to come from the domain fields.
The most important thing when establishing a domain combat team was to have strong members, so he was very concerned about Lv Yue and Xia Long’s performance.
While waiting, Xia Long and Lv Yue walked to the center of the field.
Seeing this scene, Feng Qi finally perked up.
“Who do you think will win?” He turned to Lin Ran and asked.
“Lv Yue has always been carrying a sword on his back, which means that his forte is sword techniques. If he can use a sword in a competition, the outcome will be unpredictable. However, the rule is that he can’t use a sword, so I think Xia Long will definitely win.”
Hearing Lin Ran’s answer, a smile appeared on Feng Qi’s face.
“Then should we make a bet? You bet on Xia Long winning, and I’ll bet on Lv Yue winning.”
“You seem to think highly of Lv Yue. What’s the bet then?” Lin Ran asked curiously.
“If I win, promise me that you’ll give up on studying cultivation techniques and focus on studying spells in the future.”
Lin Ran was speechless.
“This is too much of a gamble. I’m simply betting my dream for the rest of my life. I refuse, even if your bet is to personally tutor me in cultivation techniques and knowledge, I won’t agree!” Lin Ran shook his head decisively.
“Take a gamble and you might get an even greater reward,” Feng Qi guided patiently.
“No, I’m afraid I’ll lose it all.” Lin Ran couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
Realizing that Lin Ran was not fooled, Feng Qi felt helpless and shifted his gaze to the center of the field.
At this moment, Lv Yue and Xia Long were already standing in the middle of the field, sizing each other up.
After the referee instructor shouted “begin”, neither of them made the first move. Instead, they started chatting.
“Brother, I’ve watched a few of your matches and realized that you’ve never used your full strength. You’re carrying a sword on your back. I believe your strongest move should be a sword technique. I won’t bully you. I allow you to use a sword in this competition.”
“It won’t unsheathe on its own kind,” Lv Yue replied expressionlessly in the face of Xia Long’s provocation.
“What’s its name?” Xia Long asked curiously.
“Jianlan!”
“That’s a good name.”
“A sword is a lethal weapon, and sword techniques are skills to kill. No matter how gorgeous the name is, it’s still the truth. Therefore, it doesn’t matter if the name is good or not.”
“Then why don’t you name it Iron Rod? Since it doesn’t matter.” Xia Long said with a grin.
Lv Yue was speechless.
“Come, let me see your strength. I allow you to use your sword at any time.”
At this moment, the referee instructor standing at the side could not help but say,
“Are you guys done chatting? What do you mean you allow it? Who do you think you are? Did I allow it? Do you not understand the rules that weapons aren’t allowed?”
Xia Long:…
Taking a deep breath, Xia Long assumed a posture. As he exerted all his strength, a layer of earthen yellow energy appeared on the surface of his body.
“Attack!”
Facing Xia Long’s provocation, Lv Yue did not hesitate. He immediately took a step forward and poked Xia Long’s chest with his index finger.
For some reason, a gust of wind suddenly blew across the field. The ancient sword on his back trembled and buzzed.
When his finger touched Xia Long’s chest, the Xia Long’s grinning expression instantly froze. His face turned red and finally turned purple. Then, he took a few steps back before stabilizing himself.
He looked down and realized that a red mark had appeared on his chest. A force spread through the red mark and into his body. The pain made him grimace.
“What is this?” Xia Long, who was shocked, immediately looked at Lv Yue and asked.
“Sword intent!”
“What’s that?” Xia Long, who didn’t understand, asked again with a puzzled expression.
“It’s a kind of force. If you have the talent, you’ll come into contact with it one day in the future. My force is sword force. This is also the reason why I’ve always been carrying Jianlan on my back. It is an extension of my strength and has accompanied me day and night.”
“I don’t really understand it, but it sounds impressive. I lost.”
Although he had not used any body cultivation combat techniques, Xia Long did not persist in the face of Lv Yue, who had broken his protective astral Qi with just one move. He admitted defeat calmly.
However, before leaving, Xia Long could not help but look at Lv Yue and say,
“Can you let me feel your sword intent again?”
When Lv Yue heard this, he nodded. Then, he pointed at Xia Long. Instantly, a wind rose. The ancient sword on his back trembled and emitted a buzzing sound.
The piercingly cold sword intent also turned into an invisible wave at this moment and swept towards Xia Long.
Xia Long, who was standing on the spot, immediately felt waves of pain on the surface of his body under the slap of the sword energy wave. He could not help but bare his teeth.
“You’re so strong. I don’t blame you for my loss, but I didn’t use my full strength. I hope I have a chance to fight you next time. At that time, we’ll fight freely.”
“Alright!” Lv Yue did not refuse and nodded in agreement.
After the two of them left, Feng Qi turned to look at Lin Ran beside him.
“What’s the force Lu Yue mentioned? Do you know about it?”
‘Tve heard of it, but I don’t know much about it. It’s said to be a materialized aura. The conditions to cultivate force are extremely harsh. You need firm belief and extremely strong willpower. In short, it’s a very metaphysical power system.
“However, because the cultivation process is extremely difficult and can easily cause a mental breakdown, ordinary people can’t come into contact with the cultivation method at all. I also only heard my teacher mention it by chance before.”
“Then can you find the cultivation method on the Internet?” Feng Qi continued to ask.
“Of course not. Cultivation methods with major hidden dangers will be blocked because there will always be idiots who think they’re geniuses who cultivate them and end up losing their lives.”
“Many of the seemingly conformist restrictions are actually a summary of the experiences obtained from the lessons learned over time,” Lin Ran explained with a shake of his head.
“Brother Qi, why are you so interested in force? The cultivation of force generally requires the cooperation of weapons. You don’t have any weapons either?”
“Who says I don’t?”
“Where is it then?” Lin Ran asked with a puzzled expression.
“In the dream, it’s super impressive!”
