Legend of the Heavenly Swordsman
Ch.46 - Unachieved Goal

"It's hard! The defense is very solid behind this sharp attack." Fu Chen muttered inwardly.

Although his speed surpassed Tao Lin, Tao Lin's defense was quite tight and Fu Chen had difficulty attacking him because the boy was always on guard and ready to swing his sword at any time.

Fu Chen leaped backwards as his kick was held back by Tan Bao and produced a shock wind that sent the dust flying.

Fu Chen watched the sword in his hand for a moment. This sword is very different from the katana despite having almost the same size.

The double-edged sword he was holding right now made him have to think a few times before using it. Fu Chen drew the sword and put up different horses from before.

Tao Lin observed Fu Chen for a moment. "Are you still holding back before, senior?" His sizzle Tao Lin half shouted.

He saw the sword in Fu Chen's hand begin to shroud the qi. Tao Lin realized that Fu Chen had qi that was no different from him. Using enough qi just for the sword is a little risky to do. Unless that person wants to end the fight quickly.

Tao Lin started to step forward, not wanting to let Fu Chen gather more qi for his sword. Tao Lin moved nimbly. He quickly swung the sword he was holding, but Fu Chen simply disappeared as it was about to hit him.

"Illusions?" Tao Lin gasped.

One breath next Fu Chen appeared behind Tao Lin with a swinging sword. Luckily Tao Lin had good reflexes, so only a few strands of his hair were cut off.

In the next instant, Fu Chen attacked Tao Lin from the front by relying on the first skill of the knowledge of the Rafting Stream. Fu Chen's movements were so fast, not allowing Tao Lin to take the slightest breath.

The elder watching them stood up from his chair. His forehead was wrinkled, his face looked a little unhappy with what Fu Chen was doing. "What the fuck?"

It was obvious that the elder was surprised. Fu Chen's movements were the usual ones of hitmen. Fu Chen's attacks were interlocking as if making Tao Lin within his grasp.

Tao Lin choked. His hand felt limp, unable to resist the vibrations of each fending off Fu Chen's attack. He did not even have time to curse in his heart. Every time he dodged an attack, another attack would hit him.

After a while, they attacked blindly. Fu Chen again jumped back and made Tao Lin able to take a breath for a moment.

Fu Chen watched his hand which had several incision wounds. He accidentally held his sword several times. "Damn! I'm not used to this sword." Fu Chen complained inwardly.

He watched his opponent for a moment, the boy did not seem to want to give up even though his breath had been cut off. Fu Chen himself had a high stamina thanks to his divine runic gem bones.

Tao Lin looked sharply at Fu Chen. "This will be the decider!" Grunts the young man. Instantly a surge of energy began to be felt around him. The gust of wind was even felt as far as the audience.

Fu Chen cursed in his heart. "There's no other choice."

Fu Chen's horses became so low, it could even be said that he was ducking. His right hand holding the sword crossed to his left hip. Thin smoke came out of his mouth accompanied by the hissing of the wind.

Tao Lin moved forward, his every step making the arena crack. The sword in his hand was ready to swing.

"Hiroshi calmness.." Fu Chen streaked like lightning as the distance of the two stayed six meters.

Tiiij!

The sound of the sword buzzing in the air. The next instant Fu Chen had been behind Tao Lin. The two young men were silent for a moment. Before a crack from the blade of the sword fell between them.

Tao Lin collapsed with a broken sword in his hand. Fu Chen glanced for a moment and noticed his sword which started to turn into dust.

Flat gazing. His body felt hot even for a few moments.

"Tao Lin!" The elder was aghast from his seat and jumped up to his disciple.

"Teacher ... did I win…?" Said Tao Lin, weak.

"Yes .. You defeated him." said the elder as he drained his qi to ease the wounds on his student's body.

Tao Lin chuckled. He wanted to speak but his voice was stuck in his throat. He glanced at Fu Chen who was cupping his hands together.

"I'm sorry, elder. I've already left your students severely injured." said Fu Chen, weak. Luckily he was able to control the third tier of the Science of the Stream to not hit Tao Lin and only hit the young man's sword.

"It's okay .. he just ran out of qi. He's a rash kid, his defeat will make him self-conscious." The elder nodded, slowly.

He was also curious about Fu Chen. The swordsmanship he used was very foreign. The elder also realized Fu Chen had a little difficulty with the sword he gave despite already understanding swordsmanship. Indicates the boy is unfamiliar with different types of swords.

"I also apologize for the sword you gave me. I'll replace it one day." Fu Chen felt guilty for destroying the sword that the elder had lent him.

He was already trying to control his qi. But it seemed like that was the limit of the sword.

"No problem, it's just a low-level heirloom." The elder watched his student who was brought by several people. "Where's your dorm? I will have a disciple deliver Tao Lin's token tomorrow."

Fu Chen nodded his head before introducing himself. He also just realized that he had not been acquainted with his opponent and had just realized the name of the young man.

"How about Tao Lin, elder? Is he going to become an outer disciple after this?" Fu Chen felt uncomfortable if it was like that. He better wait for the troublemakers who used to bother him.

The elder let out a small laugh, his laughter made Fu Chen a little surprised. "Just calm! The boy will get his position in the near future." Reply to the elder with a big smile.

Fu Chen laughed blandly. I don't know if something like that can be done. He glanced at the sword he was still holding. He seems to be thinking.

His gaze was then directed at the audience who started to disperse. "Ah, right. I don't know how to get out of here." Fu Chen threw out the sword hilt in his hand and questioned each person there.

***

Several days had passed since that duel. The defeat of Tao Lin became hot news in these few days. Fu Chen had even just learned that his opponent was someone who was in the top 10 of the inner disciples.

The token that Fu Chen wanted had also been earned. But he still could not exchange it in the administration room because there had to be an elder who bore witness to his appointment.

While Li Han had never been seen since his visit to the Sect Chief. Several times Fu Chen approached his room but the old geezer was still not around.

Fu Chen could only wait as he went through the boring days inside the training class. He also hid the facts on his friends if he had any inner disciple tokens.
