Chapter 448 The Heavenly Sword (Part One)


    Elder Xu was stunned at what Keh said. It was quite high praise.


    Keh worked for the Cloud Hall and his knowledge went beyond the entirety of the Eastern Region.


    He had seen the other side of the world.


    Billions of people lived in the Eastern Region, and the Central Region was over ten timesrger than


    the Eastern Region. The five regions in total did not dominate the globe as one thought. They were but


    a small corner of the main continent on the map.


    The world wasposed of people as many as the number of sand particles in the sea. It was almost


    impossible to keep count of.


    In this vast poption, there were a number of geniuses. Zen had good talent and even better luck, but


    it was likely that there were people more powerful than him out there.


    Truth be told, Elder Xu was shocked at Zen''s performance. The younger generation was better than the


    last, but could he really afford Keh''s evaluation of being the reincarnation of an immortal? What did


    it mean for the world?


    Watching Elder Xu at a loss for words and looking like he couldn''t ept Keh''s statement, the


    latter smiled softly. "Just kidding. Elder Xu, don''t take it so seriously."


    "..." Elder Xu was more than a hundred years old. Hearing the leader make such a joke out of the blue,


    he remained petrified for a while, not knowing how to react.


    "But Zen is truly special. No big shots were from his family in the past. It could be that his background


    and bloodline is ordinary, but in this generation, two heavyweights have been discovered already, Yan,


    who has a peculiar body constitution, and then Zen, who has incredible strength. They appeared


    sessively. Don''t you think that''s a strange coincidence?" Keh asked him.


    Elder Xu shook his head. "Yes, it''s a perplexing coincidence. But I don''t find it too strange."


    Keh looked at thepetition field and watched Zen''s Streamer Sword reflecting the sunlight, with


    specks of gold glinting as the weapon flexed. He said, "In fact, I don''t find it strange either. I just feel


    that heaven makes surprising arrangements. It must be fate. Zen could be the dragon hiding in deep


    waters, but that wouldn''t stop me from pushing him ahead. His current performance is exemry. If he


    gets achievements in the Cloud Hall someday, it would benefit me."


    To enter any sect in this wide world was not easy, but the Cloud Hall would wee a genius. After all,


    if a sect wanted to develop and get stronger, they must discover and cultivate these unmatched talents


    cyclically.


    If Zen made massive achievements in the future, Keh would stand to gain a lot from Cloud Hall.


    Elder Xu nodded silently. As a subordinate, he could not speak up and interfere in the leader''s


    arrangements. Keh seldom showed up. The fact that he was willing to talk to Elder Xu for so long


    and that he opened up to his subordinate was enough.


    On thepetition field, Rocher remained silent. He needed time to digest the shock Zen had brought


    on.


    After a while, he said, "I started learning swordsmanship when I was six years old, and then


    comprehended a small part of the sword intent at the age of ten. When I was thirteen, I grasped the


    sword intent. And then I entered the consummation of nature level at sixteen. Even the ones who have


    reached the early stage of the Illuminating Soul Realm do not qualify to be my opponents. In the


    Eastern Region, few people are worthy of my admiration. Patrick was the first to deserve it. Zen, you


    are the second. But make no mistake, I will use all my strength in this round. I will leave no stone


    unturned."


    Zen nodded. "Start the fight."


    The two geniuses didn''t need to partake in offensive speech in this battle. They had real strength, and


    they were solid and firm like massive rocks. They knew that neither of them could get a rise out of the


    other through loose talk. Furthermore, a swordsman took a path of justice. What they learnt from each


    other through their swordsmanship would be invaluable. They wouldn''t get so far with throwaway


    words.


    Buzz!


    Rocher inched his Blood-corroding Sword closer to himself and the weapon seemed to hiss. Shifting


    his feet, he began the strange Sword Step.


    Watching Rocher, Zen couldn''t hide the admiration in his eyes. If he was honest, Rocher


    comprehended the sword more deeply than him.


    Zen hadn''t been cultivating the sword for long. He might haveprehended the sword intent and


    even caught up to Rocher in this skill, but he couldn''t blend himself with his sword like Rocher. The


    latter was a natural at this.


    Rocher''s Sword Step grew faster and faster, sword energy cyclones manifesting under his feet


    continuously.


    "I will begin as well!"


    Zen too moved his feet to the rhythms of the Sword Step.


    Although Zen carried out his Sword Step ording to Rocher''s, there was a slight difference between


    the two.


    Rocher''s Sword Step was smooth in effect. Seen carefully, each step was calcted and equal in


    length to the three-foot long cutting edge of his Blood-corroding Sword. His Sword Step appeared soft


    but hid the killing intent cleverly. Once the edge was exposed, the killing intent would make itself known


    too.


    On the other hand, Zen''s Sword Step looked random, yet natural. His steps were not as soft as


    Rocher''s, but appeared more potent in power.

    The two stepped forward, setting a tempo with their feet as they faced each other on thepetition


    field, looking for loopholes and mistakes in the opponent''s moves.


    But since they had cultivated to this level, they knew how to hold on to their nerves. They wouldn''t


    make mistakes easily.
