: One-Handedly Defeating Qin Nansun, I Don't Know What You're Pretending To Be.

The moment Wu Ping saw those golden eyes, his heart felt like it was being gripped by an invisible hand. A sense of fear swept over him for no reason, causing him to tremble uncontrollably.

"Impossible!" the old man in his mind exclaimed in disbelief and shock.

"How could such a young boy possess such martial arts aura?!"

Even in its early stages, it was enough to be awe-inspiring.

Luo Xi looked at Jiang Yuan with some surprise, thinking to herself:

"It's him..."

Beneath her monocle, her alluring purple eyes gleamed with a hint of curiosity as she scrutinized Jiang Yuan with great interest.

Compared to when I last saw him at Thunder Martial Arts School, his aura has become even stronger and more dazzling.

Are you no longer planning to hide your strength?

"So many people here? Are they all here to access the hidden map...?"

Jiang Yuan spoke up.

His gaze swept over Luo Xi, then over everyone else present.

LV6, LV8, LV6...

Finally, the gaze settled on Lin Qingyan.

As expected of her, she's already at LV9.

Qin Nansun stared at Jiang Yuan with interest and smiled:

"You're Jiang Yuan? I've heard about you."

"It seems you're even more capable than the rumors suggest."

Jiang Yuan glanced at him. "He is indeed better than you."

"Haha, that's arrogant enough, I like it!!"

Qin Nansun laughed loudly, then his eyes narrowed and a smirk appeared on his lips as he said, "Then let's see how many of my sword strikes you can withstand!"

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

He raised his hand and pointed at Jiang Yuan. Three iron swords flew out from the floating scabbard behind him, shooting towards Jiang Yuan with black sword light.

Jiang Yuan didn't move an inch, but with a surge of qi and blood, crimson ripples spread from his body, deflecting the three iron swords.

Ping! Ping! Ping!

A glint of light flashed in Niu Zhan's eyes.

What amazing blood and energy!

"Oh?"

Upon seeing this, a burning desire flashed across Qin Nansun's short-haired, roguish face.

"He's got something."

With a whoosh.

Three more black swords flew out of their sheaths behind him.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Six iron swords flew rapidly through the air, circling around Jiang Yuan and emitting a sharp whistling sound as they cut through the air!

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

A series of crisscrossing black sword energies combined to form a powerful sword array, converging on Jiang Yuan. The mere spilled sharpness plowed straight lines into the hard ground.

"The Sword Formation that Traps the Enemy, Form of One."

Qin Nansun stood calmly at a distance. "Trapped by my sword formation, not even a mosquito can escape. What are you going to do?"

Lin Qingyan's expression was strange.

Is this kind of attack something to brag about?

Has he lost his mind?

Does he even realize what kind of psychopath he's dealing with...?

"Clang clang clang clang clang clang!!"

With the metallic clang of sharp weapons striking steel, Jiang Yuan, his body covered in crimson blood and blood, like a suit of armor, calmly walked out of the sword formation, while all the black swords that were slashing at him were deflected.

Amidst the shocked gazes of everyone, and Qin Nansun's incredulous stares.

Jiang Yuan, holding an iron sword in his bare hands, smiled at him:

"Is this the kind of shoddy sword formation you're talking about?"

He then exerted a little force in his hand, and with a surge of qi and blood, he shattered the black sword with his bare hands!

Qin Nansun remained silent for several seconds, then looked at Jiang Yuan, his expression changing slightly.

"Are you a warrior-type epic class, or a physical talent? S-rank? Or SS-rank?"

"I am an assassin."

"..."

Everyone had a look on their faces as if they thought, "Are you kidding me?"

Qin Nansun felt he had been mocked and ridiculed, and his face fell, his expression turning somewhat gloomy.

"Don't think you've won just because you broke one of my swords."

He raised his hand and pointed, and the shattered sword flew back to him, reassembling and piecing itself back together into a complete black sword.

Iron Manipulator Talent - Manipulate Iron into Swords.

"In addition..."

Qin Nansun, wielding the shattered yet reassembled black sword, slashed at Jiang Yuan in mid-air and coldly spoke:

"Third Form, Thunderclap Sword Formation!"

The five black swords flying in the air instantly changed their trajectory, crisscrossing in the air at high speed, cutting out a large array of sword energy!

"Crunch!"

"Crunch!"

Arcs of lightning accompanied the sword light, intertwining with countless sword energies as they pressed down on Jiang Yuan below!

"Hiss... Such power!" Wu Ping exclaimed. "I wonder if my dragon form can withstand it..."

Niu Zhan also stared intently at this scene, sensing a strong sense of danger from this move.

Looking at Jiang Yuan, who remained calm in the face of the ever-approaching lightning sword formation, Luo Xi thought to herself, "How will you deal with this move?"

"Use your mental abilities now..."

Her eyes were filled with anticipation.

Despite being enveloped by the sword formation, Jiang Yuan arrogantly shouted, "I advise you to use your full strength, otherwise... you'll either die or be seriously injured!"

"Is that so?"

Jiang Yuan smiled.

Then.

He threw a punch.

"boom--!"

A muffled, explosive sound, like a thunderclap, rang out, startling Wu Ping.

The terrifying wind pressure swept out in all directions, tearing the ground apart. With an almost crushing force, it swept away all the incoming lightning arcs and sword energy, mercilessly tearing the entire sword formation apart!

"Varied……"

Qin Nansun hadn't yet realized what had happened.

A figure appeared before them, and in their line of sight, a hand kept growing larger.

then……

He slapped Qin Nansun across the face!

“Pah!”

It was accompanied by an incredibly crisp slap.

Qin Nansun's handsome, roguish face, which was the center of attention at school, instantly contorted and twisted, and then—

"Bang!"

A terrifying burst of energy erupted, causing a shockwave to shatter.

Under the force of that slap, Qin Nansun's body began to spin uncontrollably like a top, spinning faster and faster until it became a phantom and couldn't be stopped.

"..."

"?!"

Luo Xi and the others were stunned.

A prodigy with an awakened S-rank talent and a hidden profession was... knocked down with a single slap?!

Jiang Yuan calmly said, "With this little strength, I don't know what you're pretending for."

"hiss……"

Wu Ping gasped, his temples throbbing, a feeling of explosion washing over him, and his scalp tingling.

If he were fully transformed into a dragon, he should be able to withstand that slap... he should...

Among the group.

Only Lin Qingyan appeared relatively calm.

But in reality, she was also somewhat shaken.

did not expect……

He actually became a second-tier martial artist so quickly...

I couldn't beat him when we were both at the same tier, and now it's probably even worse...

Lin Qingyan bit her lip.

hateful!

This bastard, how come he's getting stronger faster than my reborn self?!

Lin, the goddess, kept a cold expression on her face, inwardly grumbling.

"Bang!"

After spinning around a hundred times, Qin Nansun crashed to the ground with a thud, face down.

The Qin family's prodigy, who had transformed into a sword formation master with astonishing damage and all-around offensive and defensive capabilities, and was known as having the potential to reach the King Realm, was slapped so hard that he collapsed on the ground with a swollen face, completely unconscious, and utterly humiliated!

Jiang Yuan looked at Luo Xi, who couldn't help but take a half step back, a hint of fear in her eyes.

If she were to be slapped into a spinning top like Qin Nansun, she'd rather be dead.

"You guys won't be competing with me for this hidden map, right?"

Jiang Yuan smiled kindly.

The group remained silent, and Wu Ping didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that ever since this black-haired, golden-eyed boy of the same age appeared, the old man in the spiritual realm had remained silent.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

As Jiang Yuan spoke, he swaggered past Lin Qingyan and headed towards the entrance to the hidden map.

That annoying guy...

Lin Qingyan harbored resentment in her heart.

But now is not the time to fight him. If he eliminates us, we might not even make it into the top ten, which would be a huge loss.

Even if we can't get first place, we should at least get second place...
