Nine-layer armor-breaking

Chapter 149 Look and Look, Look and Look (Please Book First)
As soon as the female warrior in charge of the Heavenly Stage Group competition finished her words, the crowd near the Heavenly Stage Group started discussing one after another, and the voices continued.

It can be said that a large part of the audience who have waited until now and are still present are here because of the nickname of the warrior No. 1, "The Little Butcher of Southern Yunnan Prefecture".

"The little butcher from Nandianzhou is the little butcher from Nandianzhou!"

"I've heard of your great name for so long, and today I'm finally going to see you. I'm so excited just thinking about it!"

"What's this...what...little butcher's name? Is it so famous?"

"Of course! They are a pair of famous warrior brothers in our Southern Yunnan Province. They are very talented and they are very low-key! Don't you know?"

"That's right! It's precisely because they don't interact with people that they're so mysterious! Even the locals of Southern Yunnan Province rarely see these two brothers."

Facing the discussion among the crowd, a young and energetic warrior in the crowd felt somewhat helpless and muttered to himself, "Should I know?"

"Why is there a Southern Dianzhou? Isn't there only one Dianzhou?"

"The person you are talking about, isn't it number one?"

"It's number one!"

"Didn't you just hear that his opponent is a high-level Heavenly Rank warrior?"

"What!" several audience members said in unison.

There was a lot of discussion among the crowd...

If a low-key person is somewhat famous, he will naturally be shrouded in mystery.

While everyone was talking, a burly warrior wearing a mask and a short sword hanging from his waist, and a well-proportioned warrior wearing a green hood and also carrying a short sword, walked onto the Tianjie group's training ground one after another.

The two warriors stood at the two ends of the training ground.

The former is the well-known warrior No. 1 in the eyes of the public - the little butcher from Nandian Prefecture; the latter is the warrior No. 175 - Jiang Xuan, who has been watching the battle for a long time.

The dagger in Jiang Xuan's hand was the same one with a brown sheath that he had accidentally found hanging on a tree branch in the woods outside Qizhou City.

That dagger was even shorter than the ones you usually see on the market.

And its not-so-refined appearance can also slightly reduce Jiang Xuan's presence in the competition.

The reason why Jiang Xuan brought it to participate in the first competition was because he didn't want people to suspect him early or even expose his identity because of the appearance of the three spears.

Although the two warriors in the martial arts arena did not reveal their true faces, they nodded to each other out of respect for their opponents.

As the two warriors on the field nodded to each other, the competition officially began!
Jiang Xuan had indeed heard some rumors about this "little butcher in Southern Yunnan Province" when the Tianjie group was drawing lots.

Although Jiang Xuan did not feel any pressure at all about this competition, he still wanted to meet this famous and talented warrior.

Since Jiang Xuan really didn't feel any pressure, he thought for a moment and decided to let the other party make the first move, so as to see if this warrior who had just entered the heavenly level would bring him some surprises or have some special moves.

On the other hand, the small butcher from Southern Yunnan did not attack Jiang Xuan recklessly. Instead, he stood where he was, his eyes fixed on the not-so-remarkable short knife in Jiang Xuan's hand.

But he looked again and again, but still couldn't figure out anything.

How could a high-level Heavenly Rank warrior use such an ordinary dagger, which is even shorter than an ordinary dagger, as his weapon?
He really couldn't figure this out.

Besides, he was just a warrior who had just entered the Heavenly Rank. How could he dare to attack a high-level Heavenly Rank warrior who was so many levels higher than him without any preparation?

When the Heavenly Rank warriors drew lots, he scrutinized all the masked warriors in his group, naturally making sure not to miss Jiang Xuan. In his opinion, only those who were more low-key, or those who wanted to participate in the Five States Martial Arts Show but feared being ridiculed for their lack of strength, would come here masked.

But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't come to a conclusion as to which situation Jiang Xuan belonged to.

Suddenly, an idea came to his mind...

Perhaps, he only has the title of high-level Heavenly Rank? Is he the weakest among the high-level Heavenly Rank warriors?
But he looked at Jiang Xuan's green hood again. No matter how hard he tried, his sight could not penetrate the hood and directly peek at his face underneath.

His idea is indeed not feasible.

But his careful observation of Jiang Xuan was not completely ineffective. At least, from Jiang Xuan's difficult-to-conceal physical features, he could tell that his opponent was a young warrior.

In this way, his previous guess that Jiang Xuan might be weaker would no longer work.

Although he didn't know what kind of face was under the green hood, he knew clearly that such a young high-level Heavenly Rank warrior was likely to have even better martial arts aptitude than him.

If he could rely on his better understanding of martial arts than others to try to beat warriors of the second to fourth level of the Heavenly Rank, he would really be no match for a high-level Heavenly Rank warrior!

He understood this very well!
……

Since it was night time, many warriors who had finished their competition had already left the training ground.

There are also some warriors who were eliminated in the first round and may have left Mi Cui Peak early, and may not even come to watch the next competition.

The number of warriors ranked after Jiang Xuan who have not yet had their first match is less than 10%.

As a result, the popularity of the entire martial arts field has naturally decreased by half.

……

The few warriors waiting to enter the arena or watching the fight, as well as the spectators who were still watching, watched the two people on the field who had not yet made any moves, and they started another heated discussion...

"Do you still want to fight?"

"Is a martial arts competition so slow?"

"It's fine if they don't fight, but the two of them haven't said a word. Is this a duel?"

"I've been waiting until now just for Number One, but I didn't expect this kind of fighting style!"

One spectator, who had been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Warrior Number One, disagreed with the crowd, "What else? A head-on confrontation with a high-level Heavenly Rank warrior? That would be a problem!"

"Seeing you praising Number One so much, I thought he had some extraordinary abilities. Tell me, why is he always staring at Warrior Number 175? I really don't understand!"

……

Waves of impatient chatter came from the audience...

Jiang Xuan and the small butcher from Southern Yunnan Prefecture naturally heard the impatience among the crowd.

But this is exactly what Jiang Xuan was puzzled about. Before going on stage, based on the image of Warrior No. 1 that he had heard from others, he really didn't think that Warrior No. 1 would have such a cautious character.

Time passed by little by little. Jiang Xuan didn't want to wait any longer and prepared to take the first step.
