Yuan Ping and Shuyang were now standing on the arena and it was seen that there were a lot of people who would watch the fight between the two, both from the participants, sect disciples, as well, nor the sect elders who intend to look for young talents to be adopted as disciples.
For the examinees, this was a very good opportunity for them to demonstrate their fighting prowess in order to attract the attention of the elders of the thousand-sword sect.
Gao Lang who was standing in the middle of the arena was now preparing himself before starting the match.
"Well, you two know the rules, don't you, then we start now." Said Gao Lang followed by the two participants who had prepared with their horses and swords respectively.
"Start!!!"
Shuyang and Yuan Ping were still staring at each other when Gao Lang had started the match and without warning, the two of them suddenly faced with a sword that clashed with a fairly strong twang sound.
None of them had used any inner strength at the beginning of the fight, so it could be seen that the physical strength between the two was very balanced.
"Lumayan, you can keep up with my strength." Yuan Ping was greeted with a faint smile from Shuyang.
Both of them then jumped to take distance and equally drained the power in his sword.
Lightning energy was seen enveloping Shuyang's sword, while Yuan Ping's sword was enveloped by the smoldering fire element.
"Tin!!! Ting!! Ting!!!! "
The sound of the clinking of the sword again deafened the ears and the sound did not occur only once but many times accompanied by the sound of the cries of the audience who were very enthusiastic.
"A pretty good match." One of the sword elders named Yua Sha praised his second fight.
"Hmm you're right, but I'm actually more interested in that kid named Ling Yan." Continued another sword elder named Yun Yuangbao while looking at the young man standing in the middle of the audience and was none other than Ling Yan who yesterday defeated his beloved grandson.
"Deeh." Yuan Ping's fire sword attack was successfully avoided by Shuyang, and the shock caused Shuyang to retaliate with his lightning sword but was easily evaded by Yuan Ping.
From the first time the fight started it did look Yuan Ping was slightly superior to Shuyang, but it seemed that he was unaware of Shuyang's plan that wanted to exhaust his inner strength.
While Ling Yan who was watching the fight both of them looked smiling because he knew that Shuyang deliberately stalling for time so that the power in his opponent was reduced first.
For a long time the two pitted swords together until finally a crack was seen opening on Shuyang's defense that Yuan Ping did not want to waste.
The energy in Yuan Ping was now focused on the back of his foot while shouting out a stance.
"Kick the fireball!!!" A fairly large fireball was pointed towards Shuyang at high speed.
While Shuyang who deliberately created the state looked to smile thinly and surprisingly jumped forward avoiding Yuan Ping's attack.
"Steel technique Lightning strike!!!" The technique used by Shuyang was just an intermediate level yellow fighting technique.
But because Shuyang's attack was so fast and accurate it made Yuan Ping a little difficult to avoid the attack to make his clothes torn apart.
Yuan Ping was seen gritting his teeth while cursing loudly, "When it was just a yellow fighting technique, but it was even that style that got me into trouble." Umpat.
Yuan Ping again poured the power in his sword making Shuyang who saw it even more grinning, he knew Yuan Ping's current internal strength was already greatly reduced and he seemed to be unaware of it.
"Hahaha the child still needs a lot to learn, the talent he has is quite decent, but the way he uses energy in being too sullen." Gu Lan one of the female sword elders of the thousand sword sect laughed slightly.
"Hehehe but it looks like elder Gao Lang will not let go for you." Yun Yhuchen chuckled.
"Hmp!! I'll make him give up this time, before he didn't even give me a single student." Annoyed Yan Shiki.
Meanwhile Shuyang who was now aware of Yuan Ping's condition immediately changed his fighting strategy.
"Alright, then it's time for a counterattack." He muttered while pouring more power in his sword.
At high speed, Yuan Ping was back on the offensive but could still be held back by Shuyang and even now the situation seemed to turn around where Shuyang was the one who controlled the fight.
Yuan Ping was already beginning to pant and run out of his inner strength, while Shuyang looked still very fresh because the inner strength he had was indeed still very much.
"Blow lightning!!" A punch landed on Yuan Ping chest and made him push a few steps back.
Seeing the free opportunity made Shuyang not waste it and instantly drained a deep energy into his fist.
"The lightning fist technique! Lightning dragon rampage technique!!!" A high-level black battle technique was directly used by Shuyang.
The attack was deliberately aimed right in front of Yuan Ping and did not intend to hit his opponent because Shuyang already knew that Yuan Ping could not dodge the attack.
"Booom!!" A fairly loud explosion sounded right at the moment Shuyang's lightning punch landed on the arena floor and made a small crater in front of Yuan Ping.
"He. great, the attack is powerful." One of the spectators exclaimed.
"But why did his attack miss." Asked one of the spectators who were near Ling Yan, Xui, Zhu Qing, and Han Li.
"He deliberately didn't hit his opponent." Han Li said.
"That's right, he already knew that Yuan Ping was unable to dodge that crushing attack, and if only he was hit by the attack, it could have left him severely injured even his worst condition was permanent disability." Ling Yan replied.
Han Li was still staring towards Shuyang and was impassive. "I guess Ling Yan is the only competitor that will trouble me, but it turns out there are still others who could have been one of Gao Lang's master disciples." Inner Han Li.
While Yuan Ping who saw the incident right before him looked completely motionless and only glared with a face of fear at the effect of Shuyang's attack just now.
Soon enough Yuan Ping finally sat down limp and raised his hand while saying in a stammering tone.
"I. I give up."
The atmosphere was a little silent for a moment before Zhu Qing's shouting finally made the atmosphere come back bustling.
"Shuyang is great." His shout was followed by the shouts and cheers from the other spectators, even one of the sword elders stood up and gave a clap of his hand.
"Looks like you're very interested in this kid." Yun Yhuchen spoke to Yan Shiki who was giving that applause.
While Gao Lang who was also witnessing Shuyang's power was seen paying attention to Yan Shiki and muttering.
"Hmm It seems like this time I have to let this young fellow off to Yan Shiki." Gao Lang did not want to be greedy.
"The first match was won by Shuyang!!! As well as being the first participant to successfully become a thousand sword sect disciple!!!" Gao Lang raised his hand and stopped the match.
