NOVEL NEXT Chapter 42: The Tianshan Sect Leader Regrets
The head of Tianshang Yunhou and other peak masters looked at Shen Lang and couldn't help but sigh at his talent.
The head of Yunhou stroked his beard and said with emotion: "This boy is extremely talented, which is really rare. His understanding is extremely high, and his understanding of the sword is far beyond ordinary people."
"Given time, it will become a great thing." A peak master sighed.
"Yes, his strength and potential cannot be underestimated. He is a talent that can be made." Another peak master agreed.
After that, the old disciples went out to fight one by one, but were defeated one by one by Shen Lang and learned the techniques.
The first person to appear was a senior disciple who had practiced in the Tianshan Sword Sect for many years. He walked onto the ring with steady steps, and his eyes showed confidence and perseverance.
However, Shen Lang's eyes were like lightning and he quickly saw the flaw in his moves.
After a fierce confrontation, Shen Lang skillfully cracked the opponent's attack and understood the essence of it in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, another powerful old disciple jumped onto the ring.
His swordsmanship was fierce and his moves were unpredictable, but Shen Lang relied on his quick reactions and super learning ability to successfully defeat the move again, and in the process of dealing with it, he used the opponent's exquisite sword moves for his own use.
The third place, the fourth place... the old disciples played one after another. They used their own special skills to try to defeat Shen Lang.
But Shen Lang was like a sponge, constantly absorbing the advantages of their moves and growing at an astonishing speed.
In every confrontation, Shen Lang was able to absorb nutrients and improve his swordsmanship while resolving the crisis.
Lin Meng looked at Shen Lang on the stage and couldn't help but said: "Shen Lang is learning a move."
As soon as she finished speaking, someone in the crowd immediately expressed dissatisfaction with Shen Lang and loudly criticized: "This Shen Lang is so shameless. He actually stole his skills in the ring. It is simply against morality! This kind of behavior is simply a disservice to our Tianshan Sword Sect. Insult!”
As soon as this person's words came out, others also followed suit.
"That's right, how can there be such a competition! This is too unfair!"
"This is obviously a scam! How can the dignity of the Tianshan Sword Sect be trampled on by him like this!"
"He is so opportunistic, what kind of hero can he be?"
For a time, the voices of accusations and jeers from the audience came and went, like a tidal wave.
Everyone's faces were not pretty, with anger and dissatisfaction written on their faces, and the scene became a bit chaotic.
Some people even started shouting: "Drive Shen Lang off the stage! We can't let him act like this!"
"No matter what, it's not very honorable to learn other people's moves like this."
At this time, Shen Lang on the stage heard the noise in the audience, but his expression did not change.
At this time, Long Aotian came out of seclusion and reached the first level of the sea-opening realm. When he heard what happened in the ring, he was immediately furious and came forward menacingly.
Long Aotian's eyes were as cold as ice, he looked directly at Shen Lang, and shouted loudly: "Shen Lang, you must abolish the swordsmanship you learned in Tianshan today, otherwise don't blame me for being rude! How can the swordsmanship of my Tianshan Sword Sect be tolerated? You, an outsider, learned it at will and took it for yourself!”
Shen Lang showed no fear and resolutely refused: "Why should I abolish what I have learned based on my ability? Your request is simply unreasonable! Although the Tianshan Sword Technique belongs to the Tianshan Sword Sect, can't the skills learned in the competition be used for What do I use?”
Long Aotian's eyes widened in anger, and the aura on his body suddenly exploded. The powerful pressure spread like a raging wave, and the surrounding air seemed to become solemn.
"Hmph! You can't help it! Tianshan swordsmanship is the secret of our sect and is inherited in an orderly manner. What you do is an offense to our sect!"
Shen Lang tightly held the sword in his hand, straightened his spine, and responded: "Swordsmanship has no boundaries, and those who are able can obtain it. The true spirit of kendo lies in communication and progress, rather than being stubborn. Isn't it against the spirit of kendo that you are so domineering! Is the Tianshan Sword Sect so narrow-minded?”
When Long Aotian heard this, he was even more furious.
He took a step forward, and the stone slab under his feet instantly shattered, and he shouted loudly: "Don't use clever words, if you don't obey today, I will make you look good! I want to see how capable you are and dare to disobey me." Order!"
Shen Lang did not flinch, and looked at Long Aotian firmly, with unyielding flames burning in his eyes, and said: "You want me to surrender, unless you can truly defeat me in swordsmanship!"
For a time, the atmosphere between the two was extremely tense, and a fierce conflict was about to break out.
Long Aotian challenged Shen Lang, and the two instantly became tense and started a thrilling duel in the ring.
Long Aotian is indeed a strong man at the first level of the Sea-opening Realm. When he takes action, his sword is as powerful as thunder, and his spiritual power surges like a tsunami. Every move contains powerful power, as if it can tear the void apart.
Although Shen Lang resisted vigorously, exerted all his strength, and used the exquisite swordsmanship he had learned to the extreme, he eventually fell into a disadvantage due to the difference in realm.
I saw Long Aotian's sword attacking like a gust of wind and rain. Shen Lang was stunned from left to right, sweat was rolling down his forehead, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to give up easily.
However, the gap in strength was ultimately difficult to make up. As time went by, Shen Lang's movements gradually became slower and his flaws became more and more numerous.
In the end, Shen Lang lost to Long Aotian, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and he was defeated.
Shen Lang was panting heavily, his clothes soaked with sweat, but there was no trace of frustration on his face. Instead, he said calmly: "I lost. The difference in realm is indeed insurmountable. I am convinced."
His voice was loud and firm, and there was no trace of resentment in his eyes.
No one expected Shen Lang to accept defeat so calmly. They thought he would find excuses to shirk his responsibility or show reluctance and anger, but he was so open-minded.
The disciples in the audience began to whisper.
"I didn't expect Shen Lang to admit defeat so readily. He is quite courageous."
"Yes, although he lost, his openness is admirable."
"I thought he would cheat, but it seems we were wrong."
Shen Lang continued, "Since I lost, I will keep my promise and stop using Tianshan Sword Technique. A gentleman's word is as good as a horse. I, Shen Lang, will do what I say."
His eyes were firm and his tone was sincere, which made the people present admire his open-mindedness and trustworthiness.
Shen Lang switched to Lingxiao Sword Manual. He knew that he had to go all out when facing a strong enemy like Long Aotian.
In order to win the battle, Shen Lang did not hesitate to consume his deduction life to deduce Lingxiao Sword Manual.
Shen Lang closed his eyes, his spiritual power surged, and he was calculating the changes in the sword manual in his mind.
"System, consume 10 years of life to deduce the Lingxiao Sword Manual." Shen Lang silently said in his heart.
[Deducing the Lingxiao Sword Manual]
[In the first year, the veins in the sword manual gradually became clear, and each move took shape in the mind, but there were still many obscure parts. ]
[In the second year, the understanding of the sword manual gradually deepened, and some key nodes began to be integrated, and you seemed to be able to feel the powerful power contained in it. ]
