Nine-layer armor-breaking

Chapter 156 Fighting Will
Under the green masked hood, Jiang Xuan's mouth corners slightly raised.

At a certain inadvertent moment, his hands began to tremble very slightly.

That was an expression of his excitement.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Xuan found that he could not suppress his excitement for a moment, and his hands were still shaking at a rate that was not easily noticed by others.

Holding his hand on the hilt of the dagger at his waist, feeling the trembling of the dagger and his hand, Jiang Xuan greedily felt the emotion coming from the bottom of his heart.

After a moment, the trembling in Jiang Xuan's hands stopped, and the corresponding trembling in the dagger also stopped.

Taking another deep breath, Jiang Xuan understood the emotion that just came from the bottom of his heart.

It’s fighting spirit!
Since leaving Yingzhou, he has never felt such a desire to fight!

Maybe Jiang Xuan's life was threatened when he met the fat man and the thin man, but what Jiang Xuan encountered at that time was an encounter, a life-and-death battle.

At that time, Jiang Xuan, out of human instinct, was thinking about how to survive, not how to improve his future fighting methods, nor how to fight better.

At that time, Jiang Xuan was thinking more about life and death rather than the battle itself.

He had also encountered stronger opponents, such as Guard Xu.

However, Guard Xu is a true top warrior, and a talented top warrior who is even younger than himself.

Even with Jiang Xuan's current strength at the eighth level of the Heavenly Realm, it would be almost impossible for him to defeat Guard Xu, not to mention that Jiang Xuan was much weaker at that time.

Therefore, the sparring session with Guard Xu was just a sparring session, and was by no means an equal battle.

In fact, in the sparring with Guard Xu, Jiang Xuan was able to "win" against Guard Xu only because of the harsh conditions set for Guard Xu by Xu An to balance their strength.

In short, the Chi Yunfeng that Jiang Xuan met at this moment was different from all his previous opponents.

There is no qualitative difference in strength between him and Jiang Xuan. They are both warriors of the same level and grade. In this way, he can look forward to a hearty battle between two equally strong warriors!

In Jiang Xuan's mind, the most exhilarating battle is not when a low-level warrior defeats a strong one, nor is it when a high-level warrior wins a crushing victory.

The most exhilarating battle is the one in which you defeat the strongest opponent of the same level!

Judging from what everyone around the Tianjie group's training ground said at this time, Chi Yunfeng was the strongest person of the same level!
……

"Group Five, Warrior No. 178, Warrior No. 175, please come on stage!"

The female warrior's voice was no longer as cold as before, but now mixed with a lot of expectations.

This is not surprising, because with a little more observation, one can find that this female warrior from Qizhou Martial Arts School also has a long sword hanging around her waist.

"It's started." Jiang Xuan slowly opened his eyes which had been closed for a long time, and a trace of easily noticeable fatigue appeared on his face.

In the eyes of the surrounding warriors, this warrior was obviously afraid of fighting when facing Chi Yunfeng, so he did not take any action.

Some viewers also thought that Warrior No. 175 was pretending to be sophisticated or trying to look cool, but these would not have any effect when facing Chi Yunfeng.

In the eyes of almost all the warriors present, the only outcome that awaited this warrior wearing a green mask was failure.

The only difference is whether the failure occurs early or late.

However, no matter how the warrior No. 175 was defeated, the audience could always see the heroic figure of Chi Yunfeng, who was known as the Sword of Jinzhou Martial Arts School. This was indeed extremely exciting.

However, Jiang Xuan did not care about the thoughts of the audience or the thoughts of other warriors.

At this moment, after a brief excitement and a surge of fighting spirit, he began to enter an unusually calm state of combat.

This was what he considered the most comfortable combat state, although he was very tired from the pre-war drills.

Although, at this moment, he looked more tired than he looked!

Despite the somewhat lengthy pre-battle drills, he had achieved a shocking result! On one side of the Heavenly Stage training ground, a tall warrior walked onto the field amidst the cheers of the surrounding warriors. Amidst the cheers, many were accompanied by screams from the female warriors.

"Brother Chi, teach that guy a lesson and show him the power of a longsword warrior!"

"Senior Brother Chi, so handsome!"

"Haha, that kid over there will soon know what the Sword of Jinzhou Martial Arts School is!"

……

The tall warrior seemed unaffected by the cheers. He walked slowly onto the arena with a cold face, staring at the warrior who appeared on the other side of the arena.

Under Chi Yunfeng's gaze, Jiang Xuan, wearing a green masked hood, appeared on the training ground.

The two finally appeared at the same time at both ends of the martial arts field.

Jiang Xuan discovered that standing at a closer distance, he suddenly understood why so many warriors were looking forward to Chi Yunfeng's competition.

He also understood why so many female warriors could not hide their excitement in the face of the upcoming battle with Chi Yunfeng.

Chi Yunfeng, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes and a stern face, stood in the martial arts field wearing a long robe with cloud patterns, and the scabbard of the long sword at his waist was shining with silver light.

Even Jiang Xuan, who was also a man, had to admit that Chi Yunfeng, who was standing opposite him at the moment, was indeed very handsome and charming.

However, Chi Yunfeng seemed unaware of this, and ignored everyone's words. He just calmly stared at Warrior No. 175 standing opposite him.

In the martial arts arena, one only focuses on the opponent and the battle itself. This is indeed the quality of a good martial artist.

As Jiang Xuan thought about this, his evaluation of Chi Yunfeng became higher.

Jiang Xuan couldn't help but feel doubtful and even resistant to the overwhelming praise from everyone before.

But as soon as he saw Chi Yunfeng, he felt that the flattery from everyone before was not flattery, but more like a description of the facts.

However, the true strength of a warrior can only be known through fighting.

At this moment, Jiang Xuan looked at Chi Yunfeng standing opposite the training ground with some anticipation, and began to review the content of the previous practice.

"Warrior number one hundred and seventy-eight, eighth level of the Heavenly Rank."

"Warrior number one hundred and seventy-five, eighth level of the Heavenly Rank."

"The fifth match of the second round of the Five States Martial Arts Competition, Heavenly Stage Group, begins!"

As the sound came, the area around the Tianjie group's training ground became lively again.

"It's finally starting!"

"Senior Brother Chi's competition is probably more exciting than most peak group competitions!"

"Of course. Senior Brother Chi disappeared from the Jinzhou Martial Arts School for a while last year. I heard he went to train with the masters of the Jinzhou Martial Arts School. This Five States Martial Arts Performance is his first public appearance since completing his training!"

"A master from the Jinzhou Martial Arts School? Given Senior Brother Chi's understanding of swordsmanship, who else below the rank of Jinzhou Martial Arts School cultivator can teach him swordsmanship?"

"You mean, Senior Brother Chi went to practice with the cultivators?"

"It's hard to say. After all, even though Senior Brother Chi has an exceptional understanding of swordsmanship, warriors and cultivators are two different concepts and cannot be confused."

……

Chi Yunfeng stood on the martial arts field, stretched out his right hand, and calmly grasped the hilt of the long sword at his waist.
