Alms Cultivation System
The Shadow Sword Technique

The second day tournament was organized, Ye Xuan got the earliest schedule as usual.

“Ye Xuan against Yu Rong.”

The referee's voice sounded so loud, that everyone could hear it. Yu Rong walked out of the waiting room, she greeted the entire audience with a sweet smile.

After waiting for 30 seconds, Ye Xuan did not come. The referee was confused and called him again, “Ye Xuan walked into the arena!”

Ye Xuan walked in tattered clothes, she looked exhausted as well as an irregular breath. “Sorry give me 1 minute.”

After arriving at the arena, the referee gave him 1 minute. There was no protection for the outer disciples, so he did not ask why Ye Xuan had become like that.

“Come start!” the referee said after a minute.

Yu Rong ferociously attacked Ye Xuan who looked exhausted. Instead of accepting the attack calmly, Ye Xuan dodged it neatly as well as a cold expression.

Yu Rong's attack had already lasted for 2 minutes but Ye Xuan was still healthy. “Stop dodging, Damn it. Die quietly!” yu Rong shouted out in a loud voice.

Ye Xuan slightly raised the corner of her lips, she moved her sword and began to fend off the opponent's attacks. “Thank you for letting me take a break!”

The swing of his sword grew heavier, Ye Xuan began to counterattack. Although he did not use sword skills, Ye Xuan managed to compensate for Yu Rong's attacks very well.

The tattered clothes that Ye Xuan was wearing were mere camouflage, in fact she was at her best. However since many eyes were looking at him, he had better be a little low.

Dong Lu who sent those 3 kidnappers could only tighten his teeth, he did not expect the 3 people from the Lan Shan group to fail to catch the disciple without a Dantian. “Sial, why is he getting stronger!”

Meng Luo could only hate herself for not being able to stand up for her disciple. “Do you guys still consider this a match?” tanyanya while clenching her teeth.

“Chairman Meng, you saw it for yourself Ye Xuan managed to last a long time.”

“He was injured before still the match, do you guys still think it's fair?”

“Outdoor disciple tournaments have no protection from the ancestors and Sect chiefs, so what are you worried about. Just let them have fun.”

Ye Xuan who was fighting on balance started to dominate, the sword swing that relied only on physicality began to show its weakness. His sword was broken, Ye Xuan leaped backwards avoiding the surprise attack.

Yet Yu Rong was not stupid, she immediately seized the opportunity. His body was thrust forward and his sword immediately pierced the opponent. “Death to you!”

“Do you really want to kill me?” asked Ye Xuan while dodging. His right hand immediately took out the enemy's wrist, then his left elbow attacked his opponent's back.

“Ugh.” Yu Rong spewed out fresh blood with just one strike.

As Yu Rong's body was still lying on the floor, Ye Xuan immediately stomped on it with all her might. The floor was shattered because Ye Xuan's stomping was so powerful, without feeling Yu Rong had already fainted without any meaningful resistance.

Meng Luo laughed loudly seeing Ye Xuan succeed in winning without using Qi. “Look, he's my student. Who says my disciple is weak, he can win without the slightest Qi!”

The two ancestors who were watching the match could only remain silent, they looked furious that trash disciples like Ye Xuan could defeat seeded disciples.

“No way, he won!” dong Lu said as he stood in disbelief.

Chu Feng and Long Si could only squeeze out his sword, both of them did not expect Ye Xuan's development to be too fast. Their determination to win this annual tournament was getting stronger, especially Chu Feng who had already broken through to the Qi Gathering level 6.

After Ye Xuan's victory, everyone became even more excited. Everyone wanted to fight him who could win without using Qi, especially Dong Lu.

Until one of the people approached him, he was Lan Shan who sent the kidnapper earlier. “Good work, Junior. I'm Lan Shan,” he said with a mysterious smile.

Ye Xuan stood up and returned her smile. “I'm Ye Xuan, glad to see you, Senior Lan Shan.” His acting was perfect, Ye Xuan had already trained in acting before superiors while working as a Civil Servant in her previous life.

“Looks like I misjudged you, said you were a proud man and full of sneaky tricks.” Lan Shan praised Ye Xuan with an unknown intent.

Ye Xuan replied, “Thank you, Senior. But I am only a young doctor who does not deserve the praise of the best Outer Disciple in the Tianlong Sect.”

Lan Shan could not hide his expression of interest in Ye Xuan's talent. “Alright, you better get ready soon for tomorrow.”

Ye Xuan saw Lan Shan leave from the waiting room, she saw some famous names like Chu Feng, Long Si, and Dong Lu. “There is no name Lan Shan, does she really not want to win this tournament!”

“You're too naive, Lan Shan couldn't possibly want to join a boy tournament like this.” A beautiful woman approached him, he was Lan Xue.

Ye Xuan didn't know who the identity of that beautiful and charming lady was, but she could feel the beautiful woman was far above her. “Nona, may I know your name?”

“It's not polite, you should introduce yourself first before asking others' names!” Lan Xue turned around and left Ye Xuan staring at her from behind.

“Already, he's an outer disciple must sooner or later we meet again.”

Ye Xuan returned to Doctor Meng Luo's house, this time no trick would endanger her life. “Finally I can rest in peace,” he said while sitting on the mattress.

The Lightning God Technique was used, after a while he rested and headed straight for the waiting room. There were only 8 people left, whereas this was the round of 16, Ye Xuan just kept quiet and sat down waiting for her turn to fight.

After his name was mentioned, no one entered the arena. He managed to achieve victory without fighting, all the participants did as well.

“Because there is no match today, then let's move on to the round of 8!” said the host in a passionate tone.

Ye Xuan stood on top of the arena, facing off against Long Si who became the 8th son of the Tianlong Sect Chief. “You also arrived at this stage, please give me a hint,” Ye Xuan said as she gave her martial greetings.

Long Si now knew very well what kind of pressure Ye Xuan's enemies were facing before. “Do not lower your strength, or your hand will be cut off from your body!”

Long Si's threat felt very real, Ye Xuan couldn't stop worrying because she had no sword skills other than Absolut Kill. If he used that skill, it was likely that Long Si would have died on the spot.

“Use 5 points to buy sword techniques, Shadow Sword,” he said slowly.

Ye Xuan closed his eyes for a moment, a myriad of information about the Shadow Sword technique entered into his memories. After receiving all those memories, Ye Xuan for the first time used a standby stance or martial horses.

The pressure emitted from his eyes felt extremely intense, Long Si who saw him was powerless to step forward. Gnashing his teeth he shouted, “Fuck, you were just a boy yesterday afternoon!”

Ye Xuan for the first time said the name of his skill. “Shadow Sword!”

Their swords nearly clashed, but suddenly Ye Xuan's sword pierced through the opponent's weapon and nearly cut Long Si's neck. Yet Ye Xuan immediately stopped, she did not want to injure her opponent in a friendly duel.

“You lost!” ye Xuan said with a sweet smile on her face.

Long Si directly slammed his sword and said, “Sial!”

Due to emotions, Long Si could not see the loss of Ye Xuan's sword. Yet everyone watching the match saw it clearly, their swords should have clashed but Ye Xuan's sword pierced through Long Si's sword.

Meng Luo who had extensive knowledge instantly said, “Shadow Sword!”

The other two elders saw it, although it was not a powerful skill but a technique that was very effective against people stronger than him. Unfortunately the Shadow Sword technique was extremely difficult to use, only those with determination and courage could use it.
