Chapter 476: Chapter 476: Head-to-Head

"Thank you, Elder Mu, thank you, Elder Lu."

Tan Fei felt his injuries being treated and was amazed, thinking to himself that swordsmanship could be used in such a way.

Swordsmanship was, in his mind, a technique to kill enemies, but now, having witnessed Mu Qianqiu’s healing methods, his understanding of swordsmanship was completely overturned.

Swordsmanship could actually be used to heal and save people.

The reason why Lu Zizai did not comment on Chang Bai’s swordsmanship was precisely because of this.

Chang Bai’s swordsmanship was strong, overbearing, and fierce, but it was also bloodthirsty, suitable for killing enemies. This sword was the king among swords, several levels stronger than Tan Fei.

However, this did not align with Sword Peak’s concept of swordsmanship.

Swordsmanship is a way to kill, but, at the same time, a way to save lives.

If one practiced swordsmanship only for slaughter, then there would be no difference from the Demonic Path.

Although Chang Bai’s talent was good, neither Lu Zizai nor Mu Qianqiu had a favorable impression of him.

With the conclusion of the fifth round of competition, the outcome was without a doubt—Chang Bai won, and Tan Fei lost.

Because Ouyang Xuan and the Heartless Monk both ended in a draw, they both advanced to the next round of competition as well.

Thus, after these five rounds of competition, Lin Chen, Chang Bai, Qin Kaifeng, the Heartless Monk, Ouyang Xuan, and Deng Yu were the six who earned the right to proceed to the next round of competition.

The subsequent rounds would continue tomorrow, so everyone had a night to rest.

Lin Chen returned to his quarters and immediately began to cultivate.

The next day, the competition continued.

Today, there were only three fights.

The first was between Chang Bai and Ouyang Xuan, and the result went without saying—Chang Bai won.

Defeating Ouyang Xuan was much easier for Chang Bai than his fight against Tan Fei.

This showed that Chang Bai’s strength had improved again.

The second fight was the Heartless Monk versus Qin Kaifeng.

Everyone thought that Qin Kaifeng would continue his winning streak in this fight, but surprisingly, he was defeated by the Heartless Monk.

"This guy, he was actually holding back when he fought me."

Ouyang Xuan had not expected the Heartless Monk to unleash such formidable strength in this fight.

If the Heartless Monk had displayed such strength during their previous fight, Ouyang Xuan would have lost early, and there would have been no draw.

The third contest was Lin Chen against Deng Yu.

"Kid, this time I’ll see what tricks you have left."

Deng Yu had been nursing a grudge over the way Lin Chen had outshone him and topped him in the earlier event.

"I have plenty of methods to choose from, but I wonder which way Young Master Deng prefers to be defeated? Like young master from the Zhao Family before, beaten unconscious by me and tossed down like a dead dog, how about that?"

Lin Chen looked at Deng Yu indifferently, noticing that in Deng Yu’s hands there was a huge hammer; he hadn’t realized before that this guy also wielded such a heavy weapon.

However, he was unsure whether Deng Yu’s proficiency with it was up to par.

"Kid, since you want to be hammered to death, I’ll satisfy you right now."

Deng Yu looked at Lin Chen, his lips curling into a series of cold sneers.

He knew Lin Chen was physically strong, having seen the battles with Sun Fengyu and Zhao Zhongchuan.

Yet Deng Yu believed that his Gravity Hammer was beyond compare to what the other two had used against Lin Chen.

This giant hammer technique was one of Deng Yu’s powerful methods, always regarded as his trump card, a kill shot.

He had been concealing this technique all along, reserved for use in the final round of competition.

"Kid, prepare to die."

Deng Yu charged at Lin Chen with a swing of his giant hammer, aiming a fierce blow towards Lin Chen.

Boom—

The hammer struck Lin Chen, who didn’t dodge using his Purple Cloud Wings but instead raised his arms to block.

Amidst the immense force, Lin Chen was smashed into the ground, creating a large pit on the Duel Platform.

Keep in mind that the stone slabs of the Duel Platform were made of extremely hard Obsidian, even harder than Cold Iron used in Artifact Refining. Now it was smashed into a large pit, showing the great power of Deng Yu’s hammer.

"It’s gravity."

Lin Chen, seeing the giant hammer in Deng Yu’s hand, was somewhat startled.

"Kid, now you know how powerful my hammer is, right? Today, I’m going to make you return all the brilliance that you stole from me."

Deng Yu spoke dispassionately, then continued to swing his giant hammer.

The shocked expressions of the audience all around filled him with delight.

Boom—

Rumble—

Then, Deng Yu and Lin Chen continued to fight, with one hammer blow after another attacking Lin Chen, bringing immense satisfaction to Deng Yu’s heart.

However, what he didn’t know was that Lin Chen’s expression was one of enjoyment too.

"Deng Yu, is that all the strength you have? Didn’t you eat?"

Although Lin Chen was hit by hundreds of hammer strikes, his body remained unharmed.

The taunting words immediately caused Deng Yu to grow furious, his face flushing with rage.

"Kid, since you’re courting death, I’ll oblige."

Deng Yu, frantic with anger, used some technique that caused the giant hammer in his hand to grow more than twice its size.

And Lin Chen, upon seeing this, still made no attempt to dodge; instead, he leaped up, a golden flash appearing in his hand.
