Victor walked directly to the east side of the arena and pulled out a green steel sword from the weapon rack.

He casually waved his left hand, and a few sword shadows floated out from the sword.

“Eh… It seems that this guy still has some skills.”

Seeing this scene, the people below the stage exclaimed in surprise.

“Just this? It’s just a sword move. Even if he played a trick, he’s still no match for Senior Brother Zhang.” One of the self-righteous disciples below the stage said disdainfully.

Indeed, it was unrealistic to think that he could defeat Zhang Huan just by relying on his exquisite swordsmanship.

Wang Yuan’s swordsmanship was higher than Zhang Huan’s, but he still lost. As a rookie who had just entered the third-rate realm, how good could his swordsmanship be?

In the eyes of the crowd, Victor might only know this move, and that he was deliberately showing off to scare others!

“This move of yours is indeed not bad. I am ashamed to admit that I am inferior in terms of swordsmanship. However, we are competing in overall strength, not to see who is better at swordsmanship. If you hoped to scare me with that, then you shall be disappointed.” Zhang Huan’s eyes became more determined.

Victor’s move had indeed surprised him, but it also further intensified his fighting spirit. It seemed that this guy was not just putting on a show.

The corner of Victor’s mouth curved into an arc. Without any further explanation, he cupped his fists and saluted.

“Senior Brother Zhang, I don’t need you to give up your moves. Why don’t we just begin?”

Seeing Victor’s calm response, Zhang Huan’s heart suddenly became uneasy. Could Victor still have some hidden cards?

“Don’t tell me he really has a hidden card?”

A disciple asked curiously when he saw Victor’s confident smile.

“Hmph, he is just a guy who had just advanced to the third-rate realm. He must have spent a lot of time and energy to master that move just now. Besides, I see that he spends most of his time cultivating. He can’t have much time to practice other sword techniques.”

“Brother, you’re right. This guy must be putting on a show, he’s probably just bluffing.”

“Senior Brother Zhang, kill him. I hate this kind of person who thinks he’s powerful just because of his little abilities. Show him what he’s made of!”

After hearing the explanation from the audience, Zhang Huan calmed down and his expression became arrogant again.

This guy must be acting. Alright, you want to become famous, right? Since you like to pretend so much, I’ll make a fool out of you today.

He imagined Victor running away in embarrassment and Zhang Huan was eager and couldn’t wait any longer.

“Since you’re ready, let’s begin. As we agreed before, I’ll allow you three moves first!” Zhang Huan held the sword in his left hand and put his right hand behind his back, looking proud.

Victor looked at Zhang Huan’s smug looking face and wanted to slap him. He had deliberately displayed a move just now because he did not want his opponent to underestimate him.

Otherwise, when he won, there would be people who would mock him and say that he was at mercy of Zhang Huan because he was underestimated.

However, he did not expect that he would still look down on him and not take him seriously.

Victor was naturally unhappy that his opponent and audience looked down on him.

Without saying anything, he raised the sword in his hand and waved it casually.

“Alright, three moves have passed. Senior brother, don’t hold back. Let’s spar!” Victor said loudly.

This guy…

“Senior Brother Zhang, this guy dares to look down on you. We must teach him a lesson!”

“Yeah, since he doesn’t know how to appreciate favors, there’s no need to worry. Let’s go all out!”

“Senior Brother Zhang, let him crawl back home today!”

Some of the disciples below the stage who had a good relationship with Zhang Huan seemed to have been insulted. All of them were shouting angrily.

When Zhang Huan saw Victor wasting his opportunity so rashly, indicating that he simply did not put Zhang Huan in his eyes. A fierce look appeared on his face, like a wolf whose tail had been stepped on.

However, no matter how angry he was, Zhang Huan did not lose his mind. He even felt that the other party was deliberately scheming.

Provoking him and causing him to become mentally unstable so that he would not be able to use the Qingyun sword technique at the optimum condition.

Victor could then find an opportunity to locate a flaw in his sword technique and take advantage of it. Thinking of this, Zhang Huan instantly calmed down.

Seeing Victor’s indifferent expression, he decided to make the first move to test the waters and feign a wave of attacks.

Zhang Huan no longer hesitated and decisively made his move.

Qingyun sword technique, stabs after stabs.

Zhang Huan thrust his sword forward like a dragon diving, directly aimed at Victor’s chest.

“The attacks are continuous!”

“This is Senior Brother Zhang’s most skilled move. It’s powerful and dangerous. Victor won’t be able to dodge it.”

This sword move was indeed fast and ruthless, but in Victor’s eyes, it was full of flaws and was still far from being comparable to himself.

It wasn’t impossible to dodge it, but Victor had a better way to deal with it, and offense was the best defense.

In an instant, Victor raised the green steel sword in his hand and slashed it to the right.

Bang!

The two swords clashed.

Zhang Huan’s sword seemed to have been affected by an unknown force, and it deviated from its target and was pulled to the side.

Seeing that Zhang Huan’s sword move was restrained, Victor took this opportunity to charge forward.

Consecutive stabs.

It was the exact same move as Zhang Huan’s.

The seemingly simple and unadorned move seemed to have been locked onto Zhang Huan. He couldn’t dodge it.

With the same move, Zhang Huan understood that the other party’s mastery of the Qingyun sword technique far surpassed his own.

Zhang Huan hurriedly circulated his true qi, and in an instant, a powerful air current spiraled around the green steel sword.

Clang!

The two swords collided, producing a crisp chime.

At this moment, Zhang Huan was slightly glad. Fortunately, he began to regulate his breathing and recover his true qi after his spar with Wang Yuan. Otherwise, this move would have defeated him.

This move was blocked by Zhang Huan’s brute force and true qi. Victor was not surprised.

Holding the sword in his hand, the corners of Victor’s mouth upturned gently.

He was already aware of Zhang Huan’s strength. This was also his last trump card. He expected Zhang Huan to be able to block the attack once or even twice more.

But how much true qi could Zhang Huan afford to use?

Victor, who had completely grasped the situation, rushed towards Zhang Huan, who was five meters away with the same move.

A straight stab was about to approach Zhang Huan’s chest.

“It’s this move again?”

Seeing this swift and fierce stab, Zhang Huan felt a little nervous.

He had relied on his true qi to block Victor’s attacks repeatedly. However, if this continued, he would definitely lose within half an hour.

“No matter how strong your swordsmanship is, as long as I increase my true qi and don’t play tricks with you, you will definitely be defeated in ten minutes.”

Zhang Huan had also figured it out. He increased the output of true qi in his body and charged toward’s Victor sword, aiming to slash it.

Seeing that the other party had increased his offense, a hint of joy appeared in Victor’s eyes.

Just as the two green steel swords were about to collide, the sword in Victor’s hand suddenly made a turn and shifted its position.

The tip of the sword moved from Zhang Huan’s chest to his abdomen.

At that moment, Zhang Huan sensed that something was wrong. His face turned pale. He waved the sword in his hand and moved downward, trying to block Victor’s move.

“Senior Brother Zhang, you lost!”
