The people below the stage could not get over their shocks. On the VIP balcony, the elders of the various sects were also discussing animatedly. They were all very powerful, so they naturally sensed something different about Su Ze.
Zhang Da from the Golden Light Sect had a solemn expression. He no longer had the disdainful attitude that he had when he first saw Su Ze, ever since Su Ze instantly killed his favorite disciple, Yang Yuan, with a move that condensed and exploded sword Qi.
Zhang Da's attitude changed 180 degrees. Following that, he carefully observed Su Ze's second battle. Although this battle also ended very quickly, Zhang Da still noticed something different.
"Sword intent? Impossible! This Su Ze was only at the Martial master Realm at the most. How could he have grasped sword intent! Only an Emperor Realm expert could grasp such abstract concepts, impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Zhang Da quickly calmed down, rejecting his own guess.
However, the surrounding elders kept peppering Elder Lin with questions.
"Lin! Your disciple, has he grasped sword intent?"
"I've noticed it too. Your Pillheart Sect's Su Ze's sword is definitely not simple!"
"If it's not sword intent, then it means that he has learned sword techniques above Earth-level. It's incredible!"
"Lin! When did your sect produce this new monster! Hiding him just for this time, right?"
Elder Lin faced the questions of the various sect elders and smiled indifferently. "This isn't my disciple. He's the disciple of our Pillheart Sect's Great Empress. Of course, I taught him some sword techniques!"
As soon as Elder Lin said this, everyone around sucked in a breath of cold air.
"How is that possible? It's one thing for the Great Empress to take him as a disciple, but for this old demon Sword Ancestor Lin to actually offer teaching someone?"
"In any case, that brat is not simple! He has talent in alchemy, and he also has talent in sword techniques. His future achievements may be far above yours and mine!"
"Sword Ancestor Lin actually took in a disciple? That's the first time in three hundred years! Is there something special about this Su Ze that moved that old demon?"
Lin Ye said nothing. Instead, he looked down at Su Ze with a smile. Admittedly, he had performed far better than even he had expected!
...
Su Ze was supposed to fight one more opponent. However, because one of his opponents was too heavily injured and could not continue, he directly entered the finals without a fight.
If it was anyone else, entering the finals with such luck would definitely not be able to avoid boos. However, after witnessing Su Ze's strength, not a single person had anything to say.
Su Ze's final opponent was Xu Yun from the Changhong Sect!
In the vast competition grounds, only Su Ze and Xu Yun were left at this moment.
Xu Yun looked at the calm and composed Su Ze with a cautious glint in his eyes. The former had personally witnessed Su Ze's two matches where he instantly wiped out his opponents. Therefore, Su Ze was still a mystery to Xu Yun, for he had not revealed much of his abilities.
"The final match is about to begin! Please prepare yourselves."
As the referee's words fell, the two quickly pulled away from each other.
Xu Yun's eyes kept sizing up Su Ze. At the same time, his mind was rapidly thinking about how to deal with a troublesome opponent like Su Ze.
Su Ze took a deep breath. Since it was the last match, there was no need to hide his trump card. He just had to proceed as he had planned from the beginning.
"Let the match begin!"
The match officially began. Xu Yun immediately moved his body and sprinted across the field. He did so by combining the experience from the previous two matches. In the first match, Yang Yuan had stood there foolishly, having too much faith in his defensive magic. In the end, he was instantly killed by Su Ze.
In the second match, Liu Xue was too impatient and did not test her opponent's depth. She abandoned her ranged combat ability and recklessly engaged in close combat with Su Ze. That was why she was instantly killed by Su Ze.
In Xu Yun's eyes, the actions of these two people were too stupid and reckless.
As a veteran on the battlefield, Xu Yun naturally had to test his opponent first. With his fast speed, he moved quickly throughout the entire match so that Su Ze could not lock onto him. This was Xu Yun's tactic.
Su Ze looked at Xu Yun, who was flickering like a ghost on the battlefield, and the corners of his mouth curled into a mocking smile. He had guessed Xu Yun's thoughts from the very beginning. Su Ze had to admit that... this idea was indeed very good.
It might have an unexpected effect on others, but to Su Ze... It was really futile.
As Xu Yun approached him, Su Ze pulled out his sword. His pupils slowly turned golden. He waved his sword, and a cloud of stars rapidly condensed.
It was also condensing at a terrifying speed. Before Xu Yun could react to what this cloud of stars was, this cloud of stars had already covered half of the competition ground, it clouded over Xu Yun to the point where there was no place for him to escape.
"This is..." Xu Yun's heart was filled with doubt. He actually felt an unprecedented sense of danger. This was the first time he had felt this kind of intuition. Even a Grandmaster-level demonic beast did not give him this sense of danger.
The more Xu Yun stared at the nebula above his head, the more he felt more chills running up his spine. He picked up his pace. Xu Yun's subconscious reaction was to move closer to Su Ze.
Su Ze watched as Xu Yun rushed toward him. The corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile. The former could see through the latter's intention with a glance.
Su Ze looked at the nebula that had filled the sky. His blood gradually boiled. He waved his long sword and pointed it at the nebula in the sky. Then, he swung it down fiercely.
The nebula in the sky also followed Su Ze's command. Sword Qi poured down like a torrential rain toward Xu Yun.
Xu Yun's eyes were about to fly out of his sockets. His entire body trembled as he felt the boundless sword Qi that filled the sky. He ran frantically.
However, no matter how much he ran, hundreds of sword Qi followed him. In other words, these swords could turn.
"Ahhhh! Don't come over!"
Xu Yun no longer had any arrogance or confidence in himself. He screamed with all his might, but these sword Qi still followed him.
When the sword Qi was only inches away from him, Xu Yun shouted at the top of his lungs, "I surrender!!"
The corners of Su Ze's mouth curled up. He stabbed the sword in his hand into the ground, and hundreds of sword Qi fell straight to the ground.
"Boom ~"
A deafening explosion sounded.
The floor in front of Xu Yun instantly exploded into a hole. Xu Yun's body trembled violently. He sat weakly on the ground, and there was actually a wet patch on his crotch.
"You can't even take one move. How did you get into the finals?" Su Ze glanced at Xu Yun and said casually.
The referee looked at the clouds that were slowly dissipating in the air and sucked in a breath of cold air.
