The Martial World
E-18 Doubt of Muyi

…

Sky Fortune Kingdom upholds martial arts, especially in the military field. A tournament would be held every three years, for the selection of talents to higher positions, and for raising the fighting spirit of martial fighters.

The requirement for this tournament was that one should be less than thirty years old and have achieved at least a third level body transformation. Thousands of competitors would enter, and after a few tests and three rounds, only fifty remained.

Now the third and final round of the competition has begun. The competitors had already passed their rounds, and soon there would only be fifty left.

This is the final battle. The contestants will show all of their hidden abilities and fight with all their might! The stage would be filled with a raging fire aura as each person made their final defense!

But the start of the competition did not cause the higher-ups to pay too much attention. The competitors on the ground so far have either low strength, or too much difference between them. It had reached the twentieth round so far and there was no lively fight. What Qin Xiao cared about so far was the result.

Competition now has two sides. One of them was the son of a general, a handsome 29-year-old man at the peak of bone forging. In recent years this man has done many missions and earned many medals and awards for his service. His strength had been strengthened by these events, and even the two treasures he possessed were two treasures; a sword and armor. The sword also had engravings on it from the inscription master; its strength was no small matter!

But on the other hand was a humble born warrior. His name is Tie Feng. His talent was not extraordinary, but he trained diligently to the point of making someone gasp. He was not afraid in battle; even the threat of death could not make him waver. He had killed many enemies and gained many rewards, even more than the general's son! Now, Tie Feng was also at the peak of bone forging.

It was rare for two soldiers to have the same cultivation and height at their age. After slaughtering their enemies on the battlefield, in the future it was possible that they would enter a period of pulse condensation and become a pillar of the country!

When the referee announced the two competitors, a general with silver ornaments smiled with happiness and satisfaction. The one who went on stage was his son!

“Haha, old man Li, your son really makes you proud this time.” Qin Xiao smiled as he said this. This silver-adorned general was once under his command and they were old friends.

“The commander is too polite. My poor son has grown up with many rare medicines and still hasn't shown much hope; he really isn't trying to succeed. " Even though the silver-plastered general said this with condemnation, he couldn't hide his smile. He was very happy and proud of his son.

"Mm, this Tie Feng is getting a very good result, but he will have a hard time winning today."

Qin Xiao said so because of the difference in martial skills and the difference in rare equipment.

The silver-looking general's son had two rare treasures, and they also had inscription master carvings to increase their strength. This Tie Feng came from a simple background; of course he would not have such a thing.

This battle seemed unfair, but the Sky Fortune Kingdom tournament had always been so. Treasures and equipment were considered part of the inherent power of a soldier! In the middle of the battleground, due to the difference in equipment, if you were slashed by the enemy, could you complain that it was unfair?

It was impossible for an army to supply every soldier with rare equipment, therefore if a soldier wanted to prepare, then their family background was also a part of their strength, and even become an important part.

When Tie Feng took the stage, he unsheathed his four-foot sword. Qin Xiao turned to Muyi who was sitting beside him, "Master Muyi, is that Tie Feng sword also a treasure?"

Muyi stroked his beard and nodded, "Indeed a treasure, but it's broken."

“Oh, broken?” After Muyi said that, Qin Xiao also saw the sword miss its tip. It was a broken sword.

Muyi said, “The damaged equipment is certainly worse than the whole. Not only that, but it was Tie Feng's only treasure, whereas Li Qi had two. Their two cultivation levels might be similar, but Tie Feng's martial skill manual was inferior to Li Qi. This battle, Tie Feng will lose.

Qin Xiao said, “Although he will lose, that Tie Feng made it this far with a broken sword is also incredible. If in this next battle he could take twenty moves, I would probably promote to the martial hall. Xingxuan, pay close attention to this battle; you will also enter the fifth layer of body transformation. Although you practice martial skills specifically for women, all beings are the same, so if you pay close attention, it will help you. "

As soon as the referee started the fight, the man named Li Qi darted forward with some ferocious attacks. He hoped to end the battle as soon as possible. He has the edge in every aspect! The sooner he gets this done, the better!

He began to utilize a secret skill passed down through the Li family, the 'Sacred Five Mountain Sword Arts'! This type of swordsmanship is incredible as if a mountain is falling on you. Each slash and stab was accompanied by an incomparable sense of power. It could instantly overwhelm anyone with a lower cultivation level. Even with equivalent cultivation, it is difficult to survive an attack that destroys you like countless mountains. Most would simply succumb to that devastating heavy attack.

As soon as Li Qi held his sword, the air was filled with the whirring of the wind, as if the entire orchestra was playing a battle song. The sword in his hand was 500 jins; it was the perfect combination to display the incredible power of the 'Saint Five Mountain Sword Arts!' If the quality of the enemy's weapons was lacking, then the weapon would simply be destroyed!

Tie Feng saw Li Qi come cutting down and his eyes hardened, his skin changed. He knew about Li Qi's secret move. He sank his waist and steadied his legs. With both hands gripping the broken sword, his body erupted with a turbulent stream of true essence flowing into his blade!

Facing Li Qi's incredible attack, he could only meet directly with all of his strength!

But as Tie Feng poured his true essence into the sword, his heart jumped a little. True essence flowed as if!

Tie Feng had already owned this sword for several months. Before, when he poured his true essence into the sword, it was like pouring water into a drainage ditch. That sword could not absorb much true essence, and in fact wasted a lot. But this time the sword sucked out his true essence like a swirling current. The subtlety of absorption was incomparable, and there was not a single feeling of futility!

How can it be like this?

Tie Feng did not have time to think with Li Qi's sword hitting him, so he simply shouted and slashed his sword upwards!

With the martial skills of a common low-level army 'Total Crushing Strike', he met with Li Qi's secret high-level martial skill that was passed down through his family, the 'Sacred Five Mountain Sword Arts!' Their blades collided with a loud explosion that filled the air. A collision of true essence burst into the air, and the floor of the area shattered. Li Qi was forced back three or four feet, but Tie Feng was also forced back a few steps!

It's matching!

Tie Feng gasped and looked at the knife in his hand, his face filled with a color of disbelief. He had never fought before with Li Qi before, and had only heard of him. After the attack just now, he finally realized how terrifying this man was! Previously, he would have suffered some minor injuries, not how he managed to keep the sword under control!

He knew for sure that it was not his own strength that increased, but this sword had changed?

Tie Feng did not understand exactly how the inscription worked, but knew that it could strengthen the weapon. Tie Feng thought they might increase the sharpness of his sword, but after testing it yesterday on some trees he did not feel anything different, so he was disappointed. He had never realized that inscription techniques used true essence to increase the power of weapons!

Is this really the inscription symbol of an apprentice? How can it be so fierce? Although he did not understand the price of most inscriptions, in his heart he actually knew that with such powerful strength and effects, it was impossible for this inscription to be purchased with just 100 taels of gold!

With just a collision, Li Qi had been knocked back into the real world. This person had taken his sword attack with that broken sword and even came out! This guy is so scary!

"Good!" Qin Xiao praised, “The martial skills of ordinary soldiers were able to withstand Li Qi's 'Five Sacred Mountain Sword Skills' with a broken blade. This Tie Feng is good! How kind! Mr Muyi, what do you think? "

Muyi furrowed his brows and was at a loss for words. Although he and Qin Xiao had the same cultivation level, he was also an inscription master, so his understanding of treasures naturally exceeded Qin Xiao. In that short attack just a moment ago, he clearly saw that Tie Feng's broken sword was no less formidable than Li Qi's sword! And that was because the true essence flowing from that sword had even surprised him!

How can it be like this? Looking at the broken blade, he could see that it was not a high-class treasure.

Could it be because of the inscription symbol?
