Chapter 232 - 232: Shi Sheng’s First Battle!
Shi Sheng and him were the ones who stood at the back after all.
In the end, Lu Changsheng accepted Shi Sheng as his disciple.
However, it would be a lie if he was convinced.
Chen Mingzhi’s status, talent, and realm were all much higher than Shi Sheng’s.
This was also the reason why Chen Mingzhi insisted on challenging Shi Sheng.
Ye Qiubai smiled beside Shi Sheng and said, “Since you’ve joined the Cottage, this is the only way.”
“So many people want to join Master’s sect, yet they chose to take you in after all. There will definitely be people who are unwilling to accept this.”
Hearing this, Shi Sheng looked around.
Indeed, his senior brother was right. Many new students were sizing him up with fighting spirit in their eyes.
Clearly, they all wanted to challenge him.
“What you need to do is to reveal your strength and let others think that it’s normal for you to be taken in as a disciple by your master.”
Shi Sheng nodded heavily.
Hong Ying teased, “Senior Brother, 1 heard that you were very arrogant when you participated in the Freshmen Tournament.”
Ye Qiubai blushed.
“Ahem… At that time, Master only had me as his disciple. I was afraid that he would be too lonely…”
If Lu Changsheng heard this, he would probably ask Ye Qiubai to sweep the mountain…
The Dean of the Confucian Academy continued to draw the lots.
“Sword Hall, Hu Guohong, versus Array Hall, Zhang Kai.”
“Confucian Academy’s Li Kangyong versus Martial Hall’s Tan Yun.”
Some elders looked at the battle on the arena and could not help but sigh.
“The quality of this Freshmen Competition is much higher than before.”
“That’s right. The prodigies of the four regions and even the central region have all come to our Southern Region’s Hidden Dao Academy after all.”
“Yes, this is also thanks to the Cottage.”
“It’s a pity that they’re all here for the Cottage. That brat doesn’t like to accept disciples either. It’s all up to his preferences.”
“Sigh, this kid is a natural teacher…”
While the elders were criticizing each other,
The battle in the arena ended at the same time.
The Dean of the Confucian Academy continued to draw lots. When he saw the lot in his hand, he could not help but smile and say, “Sword Hall, He Bufan, versus the Cottage, Shi Sheng!”
Everyone looked at the arena.
Finally, the Cottage’s disciples were going to appear!
Qin Tiannan was talking to Ding Yunhe and Yun Jing.
Now, they could not help but be attracted by the drawing of lots this time and stopped communicating!
Obviously, they wanted to see it too.
How capable was the Cottage’s new disciple?
Ye Qiubai said, “Little Junior Brother, it’s your turn.”
Shi Sheng nodded and cupped his fists. “I’ll go then, Senior Brother.”
With that, he jumped down and arrived at the arena!
On the other side, Sword Hall’s He Bufan also jumped onto the arena with a sword in one hand.
“Shi Sheng, even though your willpower is admirable, it doesn’t mean that 1 will hold back because of this.”
Back then, he had also seen Shi Sheng surpass everyone and persevere until the end.
However, his strength was only at the Purple Mansion Realm.
As for him, He Bufan, his cultivation had advanced further and he had already reached the late-stage Water Overflow realm!
He was much stronger than Shi Sheng.
“It’s possible that after you join the Cottage, you will surpass me in the future. But now, it’s not enough.”
Shi Sheng looked at He Bufan and did not say anything. He cupped his fists silently.
Then, he took out a black long-handled axe.
The pitch-black hand axe did not emit any aura at all.
However, it was extremely heavy!
The body of the axe is made of Black Sea heavy iron.
The Black Sea was a sea in the depths of the Wilderness Region.
As for the Black Sea Heavy Iron, it was ten thousand feet below the Black Sea!
It was extremely sturdy.
At the same time, it was extremely heavy.
Ordinary blacksmiths could not control this material.
The handle of the axe was made of Imperial Wood.
The Bright Imperial Wood itself was not heavy, but it was very tough.
It was one of the few materials that could work together with Black Sea Heavy Metal.
It was also extremely precious.
However, with the addition of the Heavy Metal Essence, the weight increased.
Simply put, even Void God Realm experts would feel that this axe was extremely heavy!
Lu Changsheng was bored and wanted to learn how to forge weapons.
The first time was when he refined this axe.
However, he wasn’t too satisfied, so he casually tossed it into his storage ring.
Now was the perfect time for Shi Sheng to use it.
However, it did not contain spiritual qi.
It was just a simple mortal weapon.
Of course, it was not very ordinary.
At the very least, ordinary people would not be able to grasp this weight…
At this moment, He Bufan, who was standing opposite Shi Sheng, moved.
He raised the sword in his hand slightly.
Sword Intent seeped out of his body and surrounded the sword.
He Bufan’s sword will had only reached the realm of a swordmaster.
It was naturally incomparable to Ye Qiubai.
However, a Water Overflow Realm cultivator could reach the Sword Master Realm.
In the outside world, he could already be called a genius in the Sword Dao.
Then, He Bufan took a step forward and narrowed his eyes.
He charged towards Shi Sheng!
He held the sword in one hand and formed a seal with the other.
Sword Intent transformed into phantom swords around him.
It shot towards Shi Sheng!
Shi Sheng’s expression did not change, but his expression was slightly solemn.
To him, he had to win the championship of this Freshmen Tournament!
Only then would he be able to live up to the expectations of his master and his senior brothers and sisters.
Shi Sheng raised his axe with both hands as he watched the illusory longswords shoot towards him.
Everyone looked at Shi Sheng curiously and wondered how he would deal with He Bufan.
His strength was only at the Purple Mansion Realm a few days ago after all.
It was too different from He Bufan’s realm.
Ding Yunhe smiled and said, “A new disciple of the Cottage. 1 wonder how talented he is.”
Qin Tiannan smiled and said, “His talent is mediocre, but his willpower is the most determined person I’ve ever seen in my life.”
However, Yun Jing’s imagination ran wild.
Someone who could catch the eye of a god like Senior Lu shouldn’t be very talented, right?
Could it be that he was hiding something?
Under everyone’s gaze, the axe in Shi Sheng’s hand suddenly slashed out!
It slashed fiercely at the phantom swords.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Under He Bufan’s shocked gaze, the phantom swords formed by Sword Intent actually shattered one after another under Shi Sheng’s axe!
There was no obstruction at all.
From the looks of it, Shi Sheng’s swing was extremely effortless!
Was this something a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator could do?
One had to know that He Bufan did not hold back!
At this moment, Shi Sheng did not stop. He held the axe and rushed towards
He Bufan!
He Bufan gritted his teeth. He was unwilling to retreat.
He held his sword with both hands.
The Sword Master’s Sword Intent spewed out crazily on the sword!
Expecting Shi Sheng to arrive in front of him, he slashed out with his sword!
Shi Sheng held the ax in one hand and swung it horizontally at the sword like a sledgehammer!
Crack..
The sound of metal clashing could be heard.
Accompanying it was the sound of refined iron shattering…
Whose weapon was broken?
Everyone held their breaths and looked carefully.
His pupils gradually enlarged!
Even Chen Mingzhi frowned slightly.
They realized that He Bufan’s long sword actually shattered into pieces of refined iron and landed on the arena!
