Chapter 430 Who Will Win This Round


    Tracy stood elegantly at the center of thepetition field. The shadow of the Blue Phoenix behind her


    looked indistinct and blurry, yet it radiated an overwhelming aura. Tracy looked like a sacred goddess


    that everyone couldn''t look at her graceful figure directly.


    The audience was left in awe by the dramatic change in thepetition field.


    It was a mind-blowing fact that one of the disciples of Cloud Sect among them could have the power of


    a legendary beast.


    To everyone''s mind, it would be nearly impossible for Zen to beat Tracy now that she had used the


    power of the Blue Phoenix. They were expecting that Zen would do the best thing—to admit defeat.


    But to their surprise, Zen took out his sword instead.


    "A sword? Does Zen have a sword? But he is a body refiner, so how could he use a sword? I don''t


    know what to believe now!"


    "I agree. I don''t know when Zen has be a sword practitioner. Other than that, it looks to me that he


    is carrying a fairy weapon!"


    "What the heck? Does this mean that Zen has never shown his real strength in his previous matches?


    So, neither his flying knife nor his soul attack was his real ace! I can''t wait to see what his real trump


    card is!"


    The audience had not yet recovered from the shocking fact that Tracy had the power of the Blue


    Phoenix, and now they were yet again treated to another revtion.


    Zen, who was only in grade-two nature level, had astonished the audience by consecutively defeating


    rivals of nature-level consummation, Illuminating Soul Realm, and those personal disciples. And yet he


    still had some new tricks to show. Zen had instantly be an unfathomable figure in everyone''s


    eyes.


    His mysterious image was a result of his endless powerful means of fighting. After he employed many


    different skills to beat his rivals, the audience became unclear about the limit of his real power or


    whether it had a limit or not.


    When the audience saw Tracy''s Blue Phoenix, they thought that Zen would be defeated this time.


    However, when Zen pulled out his sword, the result of the fight became uncertain again.


    ''They are really amazing!'' many disciples thought to themselves. Most of them would never be able to


    reach the same level as the ones in thepetition field right now.


    Among the audience, Rocher quietly watched the match on the stage. His sharp gaze fixed on Zen who


    was holding a sword in his hand, and his eyes were filled with eagerness to fight.


    Rocher and Zen had something inmon.


    They were both a dark horse in this All Peaks Competition. Both were skip-level challengers, although


    Zen did it better by defeating an Illuminating-Soul-Realm practitioner; while Rocher performed just as


    expected with his level at nature-level consummation.


    But it didn''t necessarily mean that Zen was far more powerful than Rocher. Thetter was a sword


    practitioner, but he hadn''t used his sword in front of any of his rivals yet, which made him as


    unfathomable as Zen.


    Rocher was interested in Zen after he saw thetter''s Sword Step. He was eager to fight Zen, but it


    was a pity that they hadn''t encountered each other in the round-robin match.


    The moment Zen took out his sword, he understood it wasn''t luck that brought the Sword Step into


    Zen''s hands. Zen was also a sword practitioner, and he must have understood the sword intent as well!


    It was almost impossible for a sword practitioner to master the Sword Step overnight despite the deep


    of the sword intent. Rocher was quite certain about that because he had spent three months learning


    the Sword Step. But as for Zen, he had managed to grasp the Sword Step just after he saw Rocher use


    it in thepetition.


    Rocher was proud of his own talent, but he had to admit that Zen was an exceptional one.


    ''I believe that we''ll eventually meet in this All Peaks Competition. I''m looking forward to it, Zen Luo!''


    Rocher thought to himself as he took a deep breath.


    Standing on the high tform and watching the fight below, Keh smiled and said, "Tracy is indeed


    a willful girl! The power of the Blue Phoenix will consume most of her energy, but she still chose to use


    it in thispetition. She''s overdoing it, but it''s somewhat a good thing! She manages to force Zen to


    show another skill. I didn''t expect that he is able to use a sword. Go ahead, boy! Show me how


    proficient you are with your sword intent!"


    Elder Xu stood there dumbfounded as he watched the unexpected development in thepetition


    field. He eventually said, "Well, it''s the age of the young generation now. It''s gratifying to see that there


    are so many talented young disciples in our sect."


    "You''re right, Xu. Who do you think will win this fight?" Keh turned to Xu and asked.


    With knitted eyebrows, Xu thought for a while before replying, "Now that Zen decided to use his sword,


    it must be one of his ultimate skills. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have given up his original fighting style.


    However, even though Zen has understood the sword intent, it will still be hard for him to beat Tracy


    after she stimted the power of the Blue Phoenix. I think it''s still going to be Tracy."


    "Really?" Keh looked down at thepetition field again and said, "It''s very likely that things will


    go like this. Although Tracy can only use a small part of the Blue Phoenix power, it''s still enough to


    make her almost invincible among the Illuminating Soul Realm. However, for some reasons, I believe


    that Zen will again perform another of his miracles in this match!"


    "A miracle is no longer a miracle if it happens too frequently," rebutted Elder Xu, "Zen has defeated too


    many stronger rivals in thispetition and I don''t think it''s going to happen again."


    Keh was convinced with his words and didn''t proceed with the discussion. He finally said, "Well,


    let''s just wait and see what the result will be."


    Zen had the silver Streamer Sword athwart his chest, but he suddenly pointed the sword towards the


    ground and said, "I need to ask you one question before we continue with the fight. Why do you hate


    me so much?"


    Zen didn''t like to be hated by others for no reason, especially by such a beautiful girl who had powerful


    strength. He felt aggrieved because he didn''t think he deserved Tracy''s wrath. He couldn''t understand


    why Tracy showed this much hostility towards him.


    "To be honest, there is no reason at all. I just can''t help but feel disgusted when I see your calm face,


    and I really want to give you a good beating!" Tracy said in a cold voice.


    Surprised with what he heard, Zen teased, "Well, you can try!"


    After that, he shed his sword at the ground, and mighty sword intent started to flood in his body.


    With a good grasp of the sword intent, a sword practitioner could defeat any opponent. The best


    example was Rocher who had used his Sword Step and some other skills to beat many rivals. Wing


    was merely a green hand in the de intent, but that was enough to help him stand out among the


    disciples from the thirty-three peaks.


    The intent of the weapons was something indistinct and insubstantial, but it was undoubtedly powerful.


    Tracy also started her attacks after Zen finished his words.


    The Blue Phoenix was a supernatural bird that was said to be a branch of the super legendary beast


    Phoenix. Although it possessed the same great speed of the Phoenix, the Blue Phoenix didn''t inherit


    the divine fire of its legendary ancestor. On the other hand, it had developed the ability to control the


    wind.


    When Tracy moved around in thepetition field, all the air was stirred up with her motion.


    This was totally different from the way Cecil controlled the winds. Cecil could control the winds by


    spreading his life vitality in the air and vibrating it to stir up winds. In Tracy''s case, she could directly


    control the winds as it was an instinct of the Blue Phoenix.


    In other words, Tracy became the master of the winds through the power of the Blue Phoenix.


    Her slim body seemed to drift freely in the air. Her figure disappeared in Zen''s eyes as she moved with


    extreme speed.


    "Zoom..."


    She approached Zen quietly like a light breeze.

    The breeze blew lightly against Zen''s face like the one in an early spring day, but he could feel a strong


    homicidal intent in it.


    Tracy appeared next to Zen out of the blue and suddenly stabbed Zen with her two Emei pricks.


    "Sword intent, shield my body!"


    In the danger of Tracy''s sudden attack, Zen surrounded himself with sword intent to protect himself.


    "Ding ding ding..."


    The collision of Zen''s sword intent with Tracy''s weapons created a pleasing sound.


    Zen''s sword intent was strong, but it couldn''t force Tracy to step back. As a blue light shed in Tracy''s


    eyes, she suddenly strengthened and her Emei pricks cut through Zen''s sword intent and stabbed


    directly at him.


    "Poof!"


    When he realized that the sword intent wasn''t strong enough to stop Tracy, Zen quickly used the power


    of the Phoenix Crystal in his arm to increase his speed. He tried to avoid Tracy''s attack but to no avail.


    The Emei pricks stabbed his shoulders and they started to bleed.


    "Damn it! She''s powerful!" Zen wiped off the blood from his wounds and coldly stared at Tracy.


    "I nned to leave only two injuries in your body, but now I changed my mind. I''ll make you bleed to my


    heart''s content!" Tracy announced in cold tone. Her voice and character changed after she had used


    the power of the Blue Phoenix, but her willfulness remained the same.


    "Oh really?" Zen said sarcastically.


    "I''ll stab you one more time for every smile you dare to show in front of me! That''s eleven stabs now!"


    Tracy warned with the same cold tone.


    "It''s not fair to increase the price!" Zen said, acting as ifining. He wasn''t threatened by Tracy''s


    warning. He just did that to tease Tracy and see her full potential.


    "Twelve now!" Tracy spat angrily, gritting her teeth.


    "You can just stab as much as you want! But only if you have the power to do it!" Zen lifted the sword in


    his hand and assumed an attacking posture. Earlier, he was just testing if his sword intent would pose a


    threat to Tracy or not. But this time, he meant serious business.


    When Zen wielded his sword in that manner, the audience, including Keh, was stunned into


    silence.


    "That''s basic swordsmanship!" everyone broke the silence.


    To their surprise, Zen was performing the first movement of the basic


    swordsmanship.
