Supreme Sword Sovereign-Chapter 70 – You passed this test!

"Fatty..."

Seeing Yang Ying's formidable strength, Jiang Feng grew worried again.

"Brother Gu, he..."

"It's tough!"

Fatty spoke with a rare seriousness in his tone.

"This guy, he's interesting!"

"Interesting?"

Jiang Feng was taken aback.

He knew Fatty well. Despite his usual jesting and lack of seriousness, he was extremely arrogant deep down, looking down on everyone. Apart from Gu Han, even experts like Du Teng who had reached the ability to fly were never taken seriously by him. Yet now, he used the word 'interesting,' which was enough to indicate...

This Yang Ying was definitely not ordinary!

"Indeed."

Fatty nodded.

"He hasn't reached the Extreme Realm, nor does he have a special constitution, but his combat skills... are quite sophisticated!"

"How sophisticated?"

"That Red Hair."

Fatty thought for a moment, feeling that Jiang Hong was a good measure of combat strength.

"In front of him, he wouldn't be able to take even one strike!"

"Then..."

Jiang Feng's face turned pale.

"What should we do?"

"Let's wait and see."

Fatty's gaze was fixed on the battlefield.

"If he's not as strong as I think, we'll gang up on him, a group beating!"

"And if..."

Jiang Feng swallowed.

"What if he's too strong?"

"Run!"

Fatty's face was matter-of-fact.

"This is that bastard's test, why should I risk my life for it?"

"..."

On the battlefield.

Whoosh!

The Great Expansion Sword Qi moved with incredible speed, reaching three feet in front of Yang Ying in a blink, targeting all his vital points!

A flicker of surprise passed through Yang Ying's eyes. With a shake of his spear, an unparalleled surge of energy suddenly spread out, deflecting six of the nine sword energies, while the direction of the remaining three was altered!

And just as the sword qi was about to hit.

His figure twisted strangely for a moment, narrowly avoiding the last three sword energies!

From beginning to end.

His speed did not decrease at all!

Boom!

The spear's cold light was chilling, its direction unchanged, carrying an unparalleled momentum, and in an instant, it was in front of Gu Han!

In the moment of life and death.

Gu Han's mind became crystal clear.

Fear.

Anger.

Joy... All emotions vanished, leaving only his eyes, frighteningly bright!

"Goodness!"

Fatty's eyes widened.

"This bastard... has this trick up his sleeve?"

"What's up?"

"Combat instinct!"

Fatty was somewhat envious.

"His combat instinct... is too strong!"

"This combat instinct..."

Jiang Feng was puzzled, "Does it have anything to do with strength?"

"Ignorant!"

Fatty gave him a glance.

"Think about it, if an opponent with the same cultivation level, realm, and strength as you battles you, and every move, every bit of Spiritual Power they use is at the pinnacle of perfection, making almost no mistakes, who do you think... will die?"

"So Brother Gu..."

"Although I hate to admit it."

Fatty sighed.

"But this bastard... seems to be a combat genius!"

At this moment.

Yang Ying had the same thought.

Whether it was the Great Expansion Sword Qi.

Or Gu Han's state of complete focus.

Both impressed him.

But as much as he was impressed.

He had no intention of holding back.

The spear moved lightly.

Its speed increased by another third!

In the blink of an eye, it was less than three feet from Gu Han's heart!

And at that moment.

Gu Han moved!

The remaining Spiritual Power in his body surged out, instantly entering the long sword. With a flick of his wrist, he struck from below, hitting the cold spear tip!

There...

Was precisely the weak point in Yang Ying's flow of Spiritual Power!

Clang!

A metallic sound rang out!

Gu Han's body was sent flying as if struck by a boulder, the residual energy scattering, leaving several bloodstains on his face.

Affected by that strike.

Yang Ying's spear also deviated from its original path, piercing into an empty space!

Boom!

A loud noise!

A pit with a radius of ten meters appeared before them!

"Brother Gu!"

Jiang Feng looked worried.

"Are you... are you alright?"

"Cough cough..."

Gu Han's form trembled, his complexion flushed, and he waved his hand.

"I'm... I'm fine!"

"Don't be stubborn."

Fatty looked at him disdainfully.

"If you want to vomit blood, just do it, there are no outsiders here!"

"You... cough cough!"

Gu Han was about to retort but felt a surge of blood, unable to help spitting out a mouthful.

"Damn Fatty... whose side are you on!"

However, after spitting out the blood, he felt much more relieved.

"Come on!"

He wiped the blood off his face and beckoned to Yang Ying, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

"Continue!"

"No need."

Unexpectedly.

Yang Ying shook his head, putting away his spear.

"This test, you've passed."

With that.

He slung the spear over his shoulder, ready to leave.

"Stop!"

Gu Han's face was cold.

"You say stop and we stop? Did you ask for my opinion?"

"It's enough."

Yang Ying paused, slowly turning around.

"You're the first to take my full-powered strike in the Meridian Unblocking Realm, so you qualify to enter my Azure Cloud Pavilion."

"Heh."

Gu Han sneered.

"What if I don't want to go?"

"Up to you."

Yang Ying didn't get angry.

"I'm only responsible for testing you, the rest is not my concern!"

Saying this, he glanced at Gu Han again, then put away his spear and walked away.

"Tsk tsk."

Fatty approached.

"This guy, pretty arrogant!"

"He has the right to be."

Gu Han's face was calm, devoid of the previous anger.

"He's stronger than Yu Hua! And..."

He pondered.

"His movement is strange, and his way of fighting is unique. I think... he doesn't seem to be good at direct combat."

Jiang Feng was shocked.

Not good at direct combat?

And still so strong?

"Now that you mention it."

Fatty stroked his chin, as if enlightened.

"It seems so, he appears to be good at concealing his presence, and his strikes are clean and decisive, not dragging things out. He goes for a one-hit kill approach. If he had hidden just now, that strike..."

"I wouldn't have been able to take it."

Gu Han said expressionlessly.

"I would have undoubtedly died!"

"Azure Cloud Pavilion, huh."

Fatty's eyes flickered.

"I thought it was just some ordinary, shabby organization, but it turns out... interesting."

"Fatty!"

Gu Han's expression turned sour.

"Were you just about to abandon me and run?"

"What are you talking about!"

Fatty's expression turned serious.

"Fatty here is known for his loyalty, valuing brotherhood above all! How could I do such a thing as to abandon friends and brothers to live alone? You must have heard wrong!"

"Fatty..."

Jiang Feng couldn't hold back any longer.

"You... really have no shame."

"Nonsense!"

Fatty glared.

"Fatty here..."

Before he could finish, his expression changed, suddenly looking into the distance.

"He... why has he come back?"

"I don't know."

Gu Han's expression was grave as he picked up his long sword again.

"If he's back, he's back. If we have to... we'll just fight another round!"

"Fatty."

Jiang Feng was worried.

"You... can't run away, otherwise, you'll be harming Brother Gu."

"This..."

Fatty gave an awkward smile.

"Let's talk about it, let's see what his intentions are first."

The 'he' Fatty referred to was, of course, the returning Yang Ying.

However.

Strangely enough.

Despite the trio's guard, Yang Ying seemed oblivious, just frowning and seemingly searching for something.

"What is he..."

Fatty looked puzzled.

"Looking for?"

"How would I know?"

Gu Han remained on high alert.

"Could it be... something he lost during the fight? But with his strength, how could he possibly..."

Mid-sentence.

His expression suddenly froze.

Not far away.

After searching for a while, Yang Ying finally found something, carefully picking up a crystal from the scattered dirt, wiping off the blood and dust, and satisfiedly placing it into his Storage Ring.

After doing this.

His expression seemed much more relaxed.

Without giving the trio another glance, he left again.

At this moment.

Not just Gu Han.

Even Fatty and Jiang Feng were stunned!

They saw it clearly.

That crystal... was a Beast Core!

The one from the second-tier Demonic Beast that had been shattered by their energies at the start of the fight!

"..."

Fatty's expression was blank for a long time before he turned to Jiang Feng.

"Do you think... it's similar?"

"Similar!"

Jiang Feng glanced at Yang Ying's retreating figure, then at Gu Han, his tone full of certainty.

"Too similar!"

"Bullshit!"

Gu Han was furious.

"Am I such a greedy person?"

Jiang Feng and Fatty looked at each other and nodded simultaneously.

"See, you admitted it yourself!"

Gu Han:...

"Roar!"

At that moment.

A roar of a Demonic Beast once again came from within the forest.

"Run!"

"He's catching up!"

"Quick, lead it to an open area and grind it down slowly!"

"..."

Along with the roar of the Demonic Beast.

The voices of several Martial Academy students also reached the trio's ears.
