Chapter 74 Chu Han vs. Wu Qi: A Clash of Swordsmanship

"War Hammer Martial Arts Hall only made it this far by luck; they'll lose quickly once they face Mad Saber Martial Arts School."

"Exactly, there's nothing to see in this fight. Let's get it over with quickly; we want to see the match between Thunder Martial Arts School and Blue Eagle Martial Arts Hall!"

"War Hammer Martial Arts Hall, just admit defeat!"

Almost no one in the audience had faith in War Hammer Martial Arts Hall, and they were all telling them to get lost.

Gao Jun didn't mind at all. He smiled and said, "Making it to the top four has already exceeded my expectations. In the fight against Mad Saber Martial Arts School, everyone just do your best; whatever you do, don't get injured."

"Then thank you, Hall Master Gao!"

Wei Feng and Li Wu naturally agreed readily.

Chu Han gave a faint nod, his gaze falling upon Wu Qi of the Mad Saber Martial Arts School.

Among all the contestants from Mad Saber Martial Arts School, only Wu Qi was worth a second look.

Although Wu Qi's cultivation hadn't reached the 5th tier, he gave off the feeling of a sharp blade that had not yet undergone Soul Emergence.

His sharpness was restrained, ready for a one-hit kill.

"This Wu Qi is definitely a master of the saber."

Chu Han evaluated in his mind.

"War Hammer Martial Arts Hall versus Mad Saber Martial Arts School, the match begins!"

Following the announcer's declaration, one person from each side stepped forward.

The first to appear from both teams were their weakest members, but even the weakest contestant from Mad Saber Martial Arts School had the strength of the Early Stage of the Fourth Tier.

Upon taking the stage, he defeated three people from War Hammer Martial Arts Hall in a row.

Li Wu fought with all his might but failed to win.

However, he did cause his opponent to deplete more than half of his Yuan Qi and left him with some injuries.

When it was Wei Feng's turn to take the stage, his strength was also at the Early Stage of the Fourth Tier, so he secured a victory easily.

War Hammer Martial Arts Hall finally defeated the first contestant from Mad Saber Martial Arts School, avoiding a total sweep.

The second person to appear from Mad Saber Martial Arts School also had the strength of the Early Stage of the Fourth Tier, with a wind-attribute Yuan Qi.

His strength was extremely close to Wei Feng's, and the two immediately fell into a fierce, grueling battle.

Ultimately, the two hit each other simultaneously and lost their fighting capacity together.

At this point, only Chu Han remained for War Hammer Martial Arts Hall, while Mad Saber Martial Arts School still had three people, and their strongest, Wu Qi, had not yet made a move.

"War Hammer Martial Arts Hall ends here. Next, we'll get to see the duel between Blue Eagle Martial Arts Hall and Thunder Martial Arts School."

The audience in the stands began to chatter, one after another cheering for Mad Saber Martial Arts School, hoping they would quickly defeat the last person from War Hammer Martial Arts Hall.

The third person to appear from Mad Saber Martial Arts School was a young man with a buzz cut, possessing the strength of the Middle Stage of the Fourth Tier.

As soon as he appeared, he looked at Chu Han with an arrogant expression.

"Right now, the entire audience is hoping your martial arts hall will get off the stage. I advise you to admit defeat voluntarily to save yourself some physical pain. You only beat an arrogant noble brat by luck; meeting me, you won't be so lucky..."

Boom!

He was only halfway through his sentence when Chu Han blasted him off the stage with a single strike.

As Chu Han's body became more and more adapted to the tenfold gravity, the power he could exert was also constantly increasing.

A Fourth-Tier Martial Artist at the Middle Stage was no longer a match for him.

"Next."

Chu Han looked toward the Mad Saber Martial Arts School team and spoke flatly.

The entire venue instantly fell silent, followed by a burst of cheers.

No one expected that a Fourth-Tier Martial Artist at the Middle Stage would actually be killed in one punch by Chu Han!

Even at this stage of the competition, there were still surprises!

Immediately, Mad Saber Martial Arts School sent out their fourth contestant, a tall young Martial Artist whose strength was close to the Late Stage of the Fourth Tier.

But he still couldn't escape the fate of being insta-killed, and he didn't even get a chance to make a move.

It was still one punch; Chu Han ended the fight once again.

"Wu Qi, it's your turn."

Chu Han provocatively beckoned to Wu Qi with his hand.

Wu Qi also looked at Chu Han. As their eyes met, a fierce clash of gazes instantly erupted across the arena.

Whoosh!

The audience's passion was instantly ignited, and everyone was cheering and applauding for the two of them.

"This Chu Han is too fierce! Not only did he defeat two people in a row, he actually dares to provoke Wu Qi!"

"It seems he didn't use his full strength at all when he fought Lan Yu back then. Just how strong is his true power?"

"This match is going to be worth watching."

Chu Han's dominant performance had piqued the audience's strong interest in his fight with Wu Qi.

"Chu Han, you really are arrogant. I wonder whether you or Wu Qi will become my final opponent."

In the Blue Eagle Martial Arts Hall team, the Martial Artist with a streak of white hair showed an expectant smile.

At that moment, the opposite Wu Qi suddenly laughed.

He stepped forward with a long saber on his back and said, "Very well, you are qualified to be my opponent!"

After the clash of gazes just now, Wu Qi had already seen that Chu Han was also a master of the saber with great strength.

This made Wu Qi, a martial arts fanatic, very excited. What he loved most was fighting against geniuses, especially saber geniuses!

"How about we compete in saber techniques for this match?"

Wu Qi suddenly spoke, his voice carrying a hint of excitement.

He slowly drew the large saber from his back, the blade glinting with a daunting cold light.

A flash of surprise crossed Chu Han's eyes, and then he nodded: "Fine."

His Basic Saber Technique hadn't had a Breakthrough in a long time; Wu Qi's proposal was exactly what he wanted.

Trading blows with a true saber master could allow him to gain more insights.

He also drew his blood shadow battle saber, the tip of the blade pointing at Wu Qi.

In the next moment, the two of them moved simultaneously.

There were no flashy Martial Skills, only the simplest exchange of saber techniques.

The "clanging and clashing" sounds of metal colliding instantly rang throughout the arena.

Chu Han clashed with Wu Qi using the Raging Wind Blade Technique. His strikes were continuous, instantly sealing off all of Wu Qi's movements and gaining the upper hand.

His blade grew faster and faster, each strike precisely hitting the flaws in Wu Qi's saber technique, forcing him to retreat repeatedly.

"How is this possible!"

Wu Qi was shocked.

He had practiced saber techniques since childhood, and his Flowing Water Saber Technique had reached the state of reaching perfection, yet he was being completely suppressed by Chu Han!

What he didn't know was that Chu Han's Raging Wind Blade Technique had already reached the Peak Mastery.

He abruptly retreated a few steps and sheathed his saber.

Then, one hand tightly gripped the hilt, and his gaze became restrained: "You are strong, but I wonder if you can block this strike of mine!"

Chu Han's heart tightened; he could feel that the Aura around Wu Qi had changed!

The originally outward-projecting Aura gradually withdrew, all of it gathering at the saber's hilt, as if invisible Saber Intent was condensing in the air.

"This is the Iaijutsu!"

He realized instantly, knowing this was the opponent's ultimate move.

Iaijutsu is the technique that most tests a swordsman's speed and timing, often winning by speed and deciding the outcome before the opponent can even react!

"Take this!"

Wu Qi shouted, his figure rushing toward Chu Han like an arrow from a bow. The hand holding the saber suddenly drew, and the long blade left its sheath.

Swish!

A silver-white blade light slashed toward Chu Han's chest like a bolt of lightning, moving so fast its trajectory was a blur.

The speed of this strike had already exceeded the limits of a Fourth-Tier Martial Artist!

Chu Han's pupils suddenly constricted.

Currently restricted by tenfold gravity, he couldn't dodge this strike relying on physical reaction alone.

At the moment the blade light attacked, his mind suddenly became ethereal.

He had gained a new realization from Wu Qi's strike!

In that instant, his Basic Saber Technique Realm reached a higher level, achieving the Peak Mastery!

Clang!

Chu Han suddenly struck with his blade, yet he was the one who arrived first!

He successfully blocked Wu Qi's Iaijutsu!

The entire venue instantly fell into a dead silence, followed by a thunderous burst of cheers.

"He actually blocked Wu Qi's Iaijutsu!"

"Chu Han looks even younger; could his saber technique talent be even higher than Wu Qi's?"

"Amazing! Mad Saber Martial Arts School might actually lose."

In the Mad Saber Martial Arts School team, Wu Qi's father's eyes were also full of shock.

"I didn't expect someone to be able to take Xiao Qi's Iaijutsu. It seems this time, he has met a true opponent."

But then a smile appeared on his face: "However, my son isn't a pushover either! This duel might just become the catalyst for his Breakthrough."

In the center of the arena, Wu Qi looked at his blocked long saber and was stunned for a few seconds before laughing loudly: "Good! Good! You really didn't disappoint me!"

He sheathed his blade, his gaze becoming even more fanatical.

"Only an opponent like you is worthy of me using my strongest strike!"
