Tao Ran didn't answer, and didn't even pay attention to what the other person was saying. After he stepped onto the high platform, he silently looked at the sword in his hand, feeling both familiar and unfamiliar.

Familiarity was due to his learning of swordsmanship at the age of ten, and over the next twelve years, he gradually elevated his swordsmanship to the realm of 'Extreme Development and Hidden Intent', which was also his capital for crossing the realm of the Primordial Sky in his early years.

But how long has it been since he turned to practicing swordsmanship at the age of 22 with his Golden Elixir and switched to using his hand to wield a sword?

Tao Ran felt her originally boiling and surging emotions suddenly turn cold. He thought to himself, Tao Ran, Tao Ran, what are you in a hurry for? Have you always been proud of your peaceful, calm, and cheerful state of mind?

Although his current body is not his own, its value lies in its solid foundation and innate spiritual bone, which is far from comparable to his original physical body in terms of cultivation talent. As long as one can break free from the obsession of the original master before his death, it is not difficult to achieve a harmonious fusion of body and soul. Even further, he condensed his previously cherished but unattainable 'postnatal Dao fetus'.

Although this world may seem unfamiliar to him, the prosperity of the elemental spirit far surpasses that of his' hometown ', the realm of Yuanqiong. With his spiritual foundation and accumulated knowledge, as long as he has sufficient resources, it only takes fifteen or even ten years to elevate this physical body to the realm of Mahayana and restore his primordial spirit to its original state.

As for the world of Yuanqiong - he had already dealt a heavy blow to the demons before leaving, and it is expected that these evil little rascals will choose to hide for a period of time before causing trouble to the world again; Although the position of the inner ghost is crucial, there are three divisions and five swords that he personally cultivated within the sect, which are enough to intimidate him; As for the contemporary emperor of the Langya Heavenly Kingdom, although this person is ambitious, his minions and arms have already been severed by him, making it difficult for him to cause trouble in a short period of time; There is also the 'Heavenly Way Gate' in the south. Before they head north, they have to avoid the Xuanyuan Holy Mansion and the top two major sects of Lingnan Sword Sect.

Upon careful calculation, these concerns will take at least twenty years, and they will only erupt one by one after twenty years, so there is still time for oneself, isn't there?

He Tao Ran should also have more confidence in the achievements of his thirty years in charge of Shenxiao Gate and the many rising stars in the gate.

The saying goes that since ancient times, great talents have faced many hardships, and their true colors can be seen in the wind and rain. In the past thirty years, the Shenxiao Gate has always been under his wing, so the many disciples of the sect seem ordinary and unremarkable. At a glance, they are all ordinary and mediocre.

But after he leaves, there may not be no younger heroes who emerge and shine with their own brilliance.

With the accumulated knowledge of Shenxiao Gate, what is there to worry about?

When Tao Ran thought of this, his mind had gradually calmed down, but at that moment, there was a sudden explosion in his chest. The fierce momentum made him step back seven times, almost making it difficult for him to stand steadily,

Tao Ran suddenly regained consciousness and looked in front of him, realizing that the cold weapon mixed martial arts battle on stage had already begun. The referee next to him also raised the red flag in his hand and said, "Heavy blow from the front! Five points

Across from him, the guy named Ichabod Wood was proudly waving his heavy sword: 'BOY, what are you staring at?'? Are you so foolish that you can't even surrender? Don't blame me, the divine arm Ichabod has already given you a chance

Tao Ran couldn't help but furrow his brow and tightly grip the sword in his hand. I started to focus my mind and shifted my attention to the front of my eyes. Just as he tried to carry his qi, blood, and divine thoughts, familiarize himself with this body and the long sword in his hand, and regain the feeling of using a sword decades ago, the referee suddenly waved the black flag in his right hand.

The next moment, there was another muffled sound of 'bang'. The dull power caused him to spontaneously spread layers of magic arrays beyond his shoulder guards. The force that could come from the shoulder still made Tao Ran grimace and stumble back again on this arena.

This made Tao Ran's eyes faintly reveal anger.

Ever since his swordsmanship reached the pinnacle of hidden desires, even as powerful as the Nine Heavenly Desire Demon Dugu Tianyi, he has never dared to act so recklessly in front of him.

Hit from the side, three points

As the referee's announcement sounded, Ichabod on the other side was very dissatisfied: "Hey, can you stand still? It's already two more times and it can be over? Do you have to get beaten up more

Tao Ran smiled instead of getting angry, suppressing the slightest restlessness that should not have been in his heart. Afterwards, he stood solemnly and drew a wonderful semicircle with his sword in his hand, finally stopping three feet in front of his knee and pointing diagonally forward.

His divine intention also entered a wonderful state with the adjustment of his breathing, with his heart as calm as water and his mind as clear as a mirror.

At this moment, in the audience, William Jacques had already covered his eyes with his hand and couldn't bear to continue watching.

Until a melodious and cold female voice rang in his ear: 'What's going on? Does Andre have a chance?'

Miss, you have also seen that Amo has lost by 8 points, and he doesn't even have room to fight back

William turned around and found the president of their club, Louise Linden, standing right behind him. And his voice contained helplessness: 'He looks like he's been scared out of his wits by Ichabod and can't move. Damn it! Even though he was with me in the club before, he still played with great enthusiasm, half the weight.'

The young girl Louise was looking at the stage, her beautiful pupils filled with a hint of surprise.

She felt that the guy was in a strange state, as if he had completely immersed himself in this environment, becoming an integral part of the entire background and even an inseparable part of this world, just like the martial arts realm described by Easterners as the 'unity of heaven and man'

But she soon noticed the scoreboard next to her, and Louise couldn't help but shake her head, thinking to herself that she must have been taken aback. Because the blow this time was too heavy, I wanted a miracle to happen so much that I had this illusion.

So William, do you have a chance of winning the match in fifteen minutes

There is still one thing, the opponent's strength should be comparable to mine, and I have a seven to three chance of winning. But it's useless, my lady

William shrugged and said, "I can only make it to the third round at most, and it's impossible after that. But so far, only four people in our club have made it to the second round. The current situation is that only two people can make it to the quarterfinals to earn enough points, which only Miss Louise can do alone

Sure enough -

Louise's expression darkened slightly, and just as she was lost in thought, her perspective caught a glimpse of a burst of fire on the stage, accompanied by a loud shock that shook the entire venue like a thunderbolt, causing everyone in the gymnasium to glance sideways.

In their gaze, Ichabod Wood's body seemed to have been hit by a truck, and he flew out of the arena twenty meters before crashing heavily to the ground, causing the surrounding audience to scream uncontrollably,

What's going on

Is that Ichabod

Did the armor suddenly explode just now

Does anyone know what the situation is

I didn't understand. Anyway, the magic array of armor suddenly opened completely, and then there was an explosion, and Ichabod's entire body flew out

The judges on stage were also shocked and rushed around Ichabod to investigate his situation. Some people hurriedly rushed to the monitoring room to watch the previous footage.

I'm dizzy, but fortunately my vital signs are still present. I have a slight fracture of my neck and bruises all over my body

Due to unknown reasons, the neck component of the armor was completely destroyed and requires professional investigation

Can you wake him up? Has the holy healer arrived yet

It's useless. Even if he wakes up, he won't be able to continue fighting. The Holy Therapist can't cure a moderate to severe concussion

Has the video been retrieved? What's going on here

I still can't figure it out. I only saw the protective array of the armor open and suddenly explode. I guess it's a problem with the armor

This chaos and busyness lasted for five minutes. Five minutes later, the referee in charge of channel P12 walked back to the stage with a dull expression and raised the red flag on his left hand.

Given that Ichabod Wood is unconscious, Andre Lee Wilton Stan has won and entered the second round

Tao Ran next to him immediately raised an eyebrow in dissatisfaction, but in the end, he didn't say anything and walked towards the audience without saying a word.

And below, William Jacques and Louise Linden were stunned, then looked at each other for a moment.

Is that okay? This luck

William said speechlessly, "Well, Miss, you're also very lucky. Amo, this has given us some hope. Now, besides you, as long as one person from our school enters the round of 16, they can earn enough points

Louise gave a helpless smile and then left the arena numbered P12 with a heavy heart, walking in another direction.

William looked sideways, with a hint of sympathy in his eyes. He knew what the young lady of Lyndon College was worrying about, and this unexpected victory did leave some hope for Lyndon College.

But the situation is still not optimistic now. Except for Elena and John Richardson who transferred temporarily, none of the others in the Cold Weapons Club have enough confidence to enter the top 32,

Considering the withdrawal of those two individuals, it is clear that someone is plotting against Louise Linden, making the situation even more pessimistic.

At this moment, Tao Ran had already walked back to his side. William immediately laughed and wrapped his shoulders around him, saying, "Hey! The guy who had bad luck actually got promoted by you. I think I should call you lucky Andre now? No, lucky Amo

Tao Ran gave him a faint glance and said, "You misunderstood, this is not luck

William laughed heartily and pounded his chest heavily, saying, 'Can you still be the one who knocked him away with a sword? Alright, Buddy, wait for me a little longer.'. It will be my turn in a few minutes. When I win this game, we'll go back together

Afterwards, he ignored Tao Ran and walked alone to another arena numbered 15, with confidence in his eyes and eyebrows, as if he had already won.
