585 Play Fair.
Yang Dao was unaware of everyone outside, inside the trail tower, he was fighting with no hold bars. His cultivation was sealed, and to play fair, the boy had deliberately not used his elemental source energy.
The nature of the two things was different. Source energy of elements is just elemental attributed spirit energy. While the spiritual energy had no attribute. The trial tower did not seal the attributed energy. Yang Dao used his skills with the sword. It was not that he was perfect, but the guy had been learning every mistake that he would make in his moves as he fought.
If the chances of error were that he would make a mistake every five moves earlier, buy the time he had come to the seventh floor, it was one minor mistake in every ten moves. Most of the time, he would finalize the battle in just one attack, however, as he climbed high the competition sparked up and the rivals became stronger ones.
Yang Dao was excited to fight, his black sword had not stopped moving even once. The four elemental style sword art was very extensive and allowed him to use his weapon in a flow.
…
While the boy was fighting inside the people outside were boiling. They were paying attention to learn what Yang Dao was doing. His sword would sometimes be sharp and dominant, while sometimes he would push away the opponent with the blunt side of it.
The Deacon asked, “Why is he using the blunt side of the sword?”
Alisha replied, “Blunt side of the sword is also is the sword. To win a battle you do not have to slash it if you can win with a push away.” her calm tone, made the people scrutinize her.
Alisha was irritated and radiated her aura of a nascent soul realm cultivator and the flies buzzed off. Bai Hu was not surprised by her growth. After all, this girl followed that monster, so she must have gained something.
Xia Jian mumbled what Alisha has spoken just now and seemed to have gained something. He said, “Senior, Thank you.” as he bowed.
Bai Hu wanted to ask something but the next moment, all the people in the surroundings were shocked. They did not expect that Yang Dao was able to climb to the eighth floor. He said, “I should have really let him go waltzing to the abyssal edge. This guy just broke the records of the sect, like they were window paper.”
Alisha smiled, and Xia Jian said, “You bought it upon yourself senior brother.”
Bai Hu sensed a twitch at the corner of his mouth and was about to lose his shit when the Dao Child did something unexpected once again. They heard the boy say, “I admit defeat.”
The next moment Yang Dao vanished from the inside of the trial tower and came out. The people were shocked at this. They had no idea what happened to the boy. Yang Dao came out of the trial tower, gazed at the people, sheathed his sword, and walked up to Bai Hu, then he said, “Do you have someplace where I can eat. I am famished and might eat a human alive.”
Bai Hu asked, “Is this why you came out of the tower?”
Yang Dao nodded and asked, “What else do you think could have made me back off?”
The people around almost puked up blood. they could not believe that this child came out because he was hungry. There have been times when the applicant could not reach the level they had already once completed in the past. In the world of cultivation, luck was an important factor. However, Yang Dao himself was the fortune.
Bai Hu led Alisha and Yang Dao to the restaurant in a nearby market. Xia Jian had been following them, he wanted to talk but was embarrassed, after all, it has been five years since he had last met Yang Dao. He was not sure if the other party will recognize him or not.
Walking ahead, Yang Dao reacted as if he could read Xia Jian’s mind. He asked, “How have you been?”
The other two were aware that this question was intended for Xia Jian. The boy replied, “I have been well.”
Yang Dao asked more, “And your old man?”
“He is fine as well.” said Xia Jian. Yang Dao nodded and stopped asking. Xia Jian said, “Thank you for helping me back then.”
Yang Dao nodded and said, “Do not think too much, it was your father who irritated me. Believe me, if he had spoken more than what he did, I might have killed him.”
Xia Jian nodded and said, “I am aware, we all heard that you slew a nascent soul realm guy when you were in spirit gathering realm.”
Yang Dao scratched the back of his head and said, “That person injured my father and also bad-mouthed my mother. How was I to let him walk away.” ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
Xia Jian nodded and said, “I agree.”
The other two were not as calm as they were, after all, killing a nascent soul realm cultivator as a spirit formation cultivator, was too much. They reached the restaurant, and Bai Hu ordered the special dishes of the place.
The three waited calmly with cups of tea in their hands while Yang Dao chewed on the appetizer in front of him. Bai Hu suddenly said, “How about we see the abyssal edge after you are done eating, Dao?”
Yang Dao asked, “What are the other trials to get a better seat?”
Bai Hu shook his head and waved his hand, he said with an awkward chuckle, “Hahaha, you are so talented, what tests are you talking about? I will get you a free pass.”
Yang Dao raised his eyebrow and said, “Your actions are that of a coward. Do you think I will not know that you are afraid of me taking away the records set? If the immortal sword sect is filled with such petty-minded people, then I would rather leave here and go to the other sects.”
Bai Hu almost spewed out the tea in his mouth when he heard this statement. Did this child just call his sect filled up with mean people? He said, “Yang Dao, what do you mean petty people? Explain yourself.”
Yang Dao replied with his eyes closed, “If the people in your sect think that I should not take the top spot on the list of records, then let them come together and take down my name from the list. Play fair and beat me, I will accept it all with a smile.”
His words set the blood of the disciples, who were eating inside the restaurant, on fire. This was a straight challenge that Yang Dao had thrown in their face. Suddenly someone stood up and said, “Senior Brother Bai, take him to all the rounds, we will take on this challenge. The sword shall never fall.”
His cry made the others catch the flames, and they all said, “The Sword shall never fall.”
Soon, the people finished meals and left the restaurant and the words spread through the sect. Yang Dao watched all this happening and said after finishing his third plate of chicken, “Senior Brother Bai, you do not know how to motivate people. You are the sword paragon, you know that?”
Bai Hu stood up and with a clenched jaw he said, “Dao, I will beat you up.”
Yang Dao smirked and snorted off the empty threat. Bai Hu sighed and said after sitting back down, “Why are you so black-bellied?”
Yang Dao frowned and said, “My mother calls me a Rabbit made of jade. Have you ever seen a black jade stone?” when Bai Hu did not reply, he asked Xia Jian and Alisha, the two people shook their heads with a smile.
“However, I have seen people with a black heart. Hmph.” that said, Yang Dao gave a stinky glare to Bai Hu.
The latter was rendered helpless. He paid for the food and took the trio around the sect. In between, they made a lot of stops. These were the trials for the visit to Abyssal Edge. Yang Dao did not leave behind even one, and marginally broke the records of the sect geniuses. He would come out after he has reached the best that he can.
As soon as he would break a record, a few people from the sect will begin to try and take back the record.
…
Balor sat inside his chamber with Sun Eckhart and the two had just finished discussing the exam held by Xerxes. Balor asked, “How is Yang Dao?”
Sun Eckhart nodded and said, “He is, as usual, turning things upside down. bai Hu took him along for a tour and I think, you should ask some juniors to get a report on them.”
Just as Balor was about to say something, the door of the chamber was pushed open and a young disciple came inside, he knelt and said, “Sect Master, something happened.”
Balor asked, “What could it be that made you forget all the manners?” he disliked when people broke into his room.
The disciple said, “I apologize, Sect Master, but that, Young Master Yang has broken all the trial records held by our sect.”
Balor chuckled and said, “Is that all. I thought… wait did you just say that Yang Dao broke all the records?” his face seemed to have frozen.
The disciple nodded and Balor smashed his tea cup on the ground. He was angry for his disciples being so incompetent.
