40: Astounding Skills 40: Astounding Skills Gou Jin looked at the longsword that had stopped on his shoulder, and couldn’t help swallowing.
“Perfect Wind Walking?
Impressive.
I admit my defeat wholeheartedly!”
The battle between Su Yuan and Gou Jin did not feature any overwhelmingly powerful techniques like the Flame Explosion Technique.
However, in terms of intensity and thrill, it far surpassed Zhuang Xun’s match just earlier!
Gou Jin jumped off the arena.
The many young talents who hadn’t fought yet fell silent.
The strength Su Yuan exhibited was already beyond the usual Ninth Stage.
These young talents couldn’t gauge Su Yuan’s full capability and preferred to observe more.
Su Yuan mentioned as he looked down at the crowd, “Anyone else?
Hurry up.”
As he spoke, Su Yuan’s gaze fell on Liu Rulong.
Beside Zhuang Xun, Xu Xin briefly hesitated but then prepared to step forward.
Many people were still watching.
As the spots dwindled, the selection and competition would only get fiercer.
It was better to secure a spot while three were still available.
Xu Xin felt confident that he could handle an Eighth Stage who mastered a Perfect Skill.
“Wait!” Xu Xin hadn’t taken two steps before Zhuang Xun quickly pulled her back, “Don’t go.”
Xu Xin stopped, “…Let go of me.”
“Ah, sorry…” Zhuang Xun forced a laugh as he released her hand.
Hmm… didn’t expect Xu Xin’s hand to be so soft…
Zhuang Xun advised, “I’m telling you, he hasn’t used many of his moves.
Anyone who goes up now is giving him a free win.
Trust me, okay?”
Xu Xin still felt a bit skeptical.
After all, they were special recruits from Shuzhou, counted among the top-tier young talents in the entire Great Flame Empire.
Aside from some geniuses from the Three Cities and the Four Extremes, they shouldn’t consider themselves no match even before fighting, right?
But Zhuang Xun seemed so sure… Forget it, she’ll listen to him this time.
Xu Xin hesitated for a moment but did not step forward.
After all, the opportunity to enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm was extremely important for them; it determined whether they could advance to the Bronze Level early.
Better to be safe than sorry.
“This Su Yuan seems formidable.
Rulong, are you confident?” On the other side, Hu Tao asked in a deep voice.
Liu Rulong fearlessly met Su Yuan’s gaze with a light laugh, “Don’t worry, Director Hu.
Even if it’s Perfect Wind Walking, I won’t be afraid even if he has another perfect skill!”
Hu Tao nodded, glanced slightly at Wang Haiping not far away, and then said, “In that case, go ahead.”
“Alright!”
Liu Rulong responded with a stride forward, “I’ll go!”
“Liu Rulong is up!”
“The special recruit from Hengzhou, Liu Rulong!”
“Reportedly, Liu Rulong is one of the top in Hengzhou’s special recruits.
He is certain to secure one of the four spots in the Divine Tree Secret Realm.
If he beats this sudden Su Yuan, our chances will be much greater!”
“That’s right.
No matter what, either Su Yuan or Liu Rulong will fail.
That’s beneficial for us.”
“…”
Liu Rulong dashed to the arena in a few steps.
With a flash in his hand, a violet longsword, three fingers wide, appeared.
