Once Dream Clouds gave her orders, she quickly recovered and put on a graceful posture while she talked to Hanago and Do Jin about Chinese martial artists.

  “I believe that there are really only two people in the entire Chinese server who are regarded as superior above others, and they are One Emperor and Happy. The rest are all just normal elites.” Even though Hanago was more tactful than Do Jin, when he saw Dream Clouds’ expression change slightly because of his words, he still continued without batting an eyelid. “Hall Master Dream, I do not intend to show disrespect to Class One Hall. I am merely stating the truth. If you had someone at Happy’s level, you wouldn’t have lost so badly during the battle at the plains and be forced to retreat so quickly.”

  “Indeed.” Do Jin agreed by the side. “Barren Murderer might have Undying King of Abyss Art and Heaven and Earth Great Shift, which are two ultimate techniques, but it’s a pity that he never managed to display the defense that is supposed to make him immortal. Barren Murderer has died multiple times, and Heaven and Earth Great Shift is beyond his abilities. Those two ultimate techniques are wasted on him.”

  Dream Clouds said nothing.

  When she heard Hanago and Do Jin, two elites at the top one hundred on the International Influential Rank of the Strong, evaluate her vice hall master this way, a hint of embarrassment flashed on Dream Clouds’ face. ‘Thank goodness Barren Murderer went out for training, because if he heard this, he might actually cough up blood and die.’

  As a gaming elite who was really good at games, his ego in certain areas had already been crushed to the point that it was already very weak.

  “But Mu Clan’s Silver Wolf and Chivalry Sect’s Red Dust are also very good. There are plenty of people online who are stating that they should be in the International Influential Rank of the Strong. Could it be that they’re not worthy in your eyes?”

  “Hall Master Dream, do you actually think that those who are slightly famous have the right to enter the International Influential Rank of the Strong?” Do Jin chuckled coldly.

  Hanago was even more arrogant in his words. “Silver Wolf and Red Dust might be good in normal people’s eyes, but they’re not all rounders. If I faced them, I only need one slash to kill them.”

  “I’ve heard that Japan’s Hanago-style ittoryu has been passed down through generations, and it can easily injure those at the peak of Inaction Realm severely. It isn’t any weaker than Ximen Chuixue’s sword. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to see it with my own eyes?”

  Dream Clouds’ eyes sparkled brightly, and she made a suggestion to the duo at the perfect moment.

  “I’ve also heard about the ultimate techniques from Bright Sword Sect. It’s like drifting snow in winter, and it contains an elegant air. Those who die under Bright Sword Technique will find that it is the most dazzling form of release in the world. I wonder if you can display your strength here and let me witness your grace as elites on the International Influential Rank of the Strong.”

  Hanago and Do Jin said nothing, but when they heard Dream Clouds’ suggestion, fighting spirit instantly burned in their eyes.

  They might have come to China to meet China’s top elites, Happy and One Emperor, it was still a fact that they had incredibly sensitive identities.

  \r \r \r

  One of them was elusive, and people cannot find him even if they wanted to.

  The other was the strongest in the Chinese server along with the clan master of the strongest sect in the Chinese plains. It was not easy for them to approach him.

  Over the past few days, they never had the chance to take any sort of action.

  Just now, when they learned of each other’s identity, they already had the thought of fighting against each other to decide who was stronger. Right now, when they heard Dream Clouds make that suggestion, they will naturally not reject her proposal.

  “If you are willing to grant me this small favor, please move to the martial arts hall.”

  “Alright.”

  Hanago was the first to stand. Even though he spoke strangely, there was a rarely heard sense of level-headedness from his words. “I’ve heard that Bright Sword Sect’s sword technique is garish and too complicated. Today, I will let you people from Bright Sword Sect learn what it means by real killing techniques.”

  Before he finished speaking, an astonishing sword will surged out of Do Jin’s eyes.

  Crash!

  At the moment he left his seat, the sturdy redwood table and chair shattered inch by inch and crumbled to the ground in pieces, instantly cut nearly into small wood blocks that were about the length of an inch by waves of invisible sword qi.

  Dream Clouds’ eyes lit up when she saw this.

  She did not manage to see how Do Jin attacked at all, but the table and chair had been instantly destroyed to this extent, and it was a clear sign that he had already perfected his sword technique. His strength might be above Ximen Chuixue’s disciple, Responsible Hero.

  “Hmph!” Hanago regarded Do Jin’s show of force in disdain. He just walked outside. What he practiced was a fatal sword technique. It placed a heavy emphasis on speed and perception of the sword. When he drew his sword, he will kill. Before he attacked, he will not reveal any of his qi, and this was something completely different from Bright Sword Sect’s philosophy.

  Do Jin was a prideful person. He followed closely behind Dream Clouds and walked out of the back hall to head to the martial arts hall located in the headquarters. It had eighteen weapons placed within it.

  Each sect had its own martial arts hall, and within it were all sorts of weapons and armor. The walls and floor were also laid with sturdy, high-grade flagstones, making them incredibly solid.

  Class One Hall’s martial arts hall was very lavish looking. Its tiles were all made of granite, and even martial artists at the peak of Inaction Realm can only dream about leaving behind any destructive marks on it.

  Do Jin and Hanago were both people with an eye for good things. When they came to the martial arts hall, they cast a glance at the various marks left behind on the granite, and they instantly came to a realization.

  They can forget about using any tricks like they can in the world outside within the specially refined martial arts hall. They will also not be able to use strategies such as using the environment to fight against their enemy.

  This sort of environment was the best place for them to display their strength when top-class elites fought against each other.

  Hanago and Do Jin instantly became full at ease. They went down the stairs and stood across each other.

  Do Jin held his sword with one hand, and a cold presence surged out of his body to sweep to the entire area. Before he even drew his longsword, his sword will had already displayed a sharp presence that could pierce through the heavens, causing people to not dare look at him directly.

  “What a powerful sword will that pierces through the clouds! As expected of the youngest and most outstanding elite from Bright Sword Sect! He lives up to his name as the 86th elite on the International Influential Rank of the Strong.”

  The sword will that pierced through the clouds attracted quite a few elites in the headquarters over. They surrounded the martial arts hall from different angles and stood on the corridor outside the hall while they wrapped their arms around their chests to watch. Evil Wolf was coincidentally among them.

  “Elder Evil!”

  “Elder Evil!”

  When the Class One Hall members in the headquarters saw Evil Wolf walking over, they greeted him.

  But Evil Wolf’s attention was already completely attracted by Do Jin. His face was full of shock, and he did not even blink. He stared at Do Jin’s figure, and he could not help but say, “This sword will is already comparable to One Emperor’s while he was at Hero’s Mountain Villa…… No, I should say that it’s already comparable to the time when One Empror fought against Happy at Mount Tai!”

  He was actually about to say that Do Jin could already compare to the strength One Emperor displayed when he was at Hero’s Mountain Villa, but Do Jin decided to call upon his sword will once more, and a powerful chill exploded forth in the martial arts hall. With one bang, all the people in the area felt as if they had fallen into a snowy plain, and Evil Wolf’s evaluation of Do Jin’s strength increased once more.

  When he faced the suppression from Do Jin’s dazzling sword will, Hanago completely restrained himself.

  At some point of time, a black katana still attached to its sheath appeared in his hands. He shut his eyes and lunged forth. His right hand was positioned lightly on his hilt, and he gave off such a steady presence that he looked like a bedrock in an icy plain.

  “He actually had his spirit placed beyond the realms of reality so that he can remain unaffected by his surroundings. He does indeed have some skill with him.”

  Others might not be able to tell what Hanago was doing, but Do Jin, Dream Clouds, Evil Wolf, and a handful of other people were able to see the skill behind this.

  He actually managed to not reveal a single hint of his qi under the powerful suppression from Do Jin’s sword will and enter the state of mind required for him to fight. Once Hanago attacked, he will definitely do so with the force of a lightning bolt!

  When he saw this, Evil Wolf thought he seemed to have seen the shadow of Ximen Chuixue’s disciple, Responsible Hero, on Hanago, but Hanago seemed to be more mature and perfect in his stance.
