Reincarnation of the Human Swordsman

34

Zhang came out of the Eighth Gate. He has now officially become a student at the Red Land College. This was because he had already made it through the seven gates, as a condition to pass the second stage selection.

Initially Zhang wanted to leave here immediately, but he saw Yue Jian also come out of the Eighth Gate, although the young man should have passed by passing through the Seventh Archway. Surely Zhang did not understand why Yue Jian did the extra thing without being told.

“Yue Jian, what are you doing here?” Zhang tilted his head.

“What else if not conquer the gate?” Yue Jian did not look too concerned about Zhang. “Omong-by the way, congratulations because you got away!”

After saying that, Yue Jian directly climbed up again. He set foot on the eighty-first floor. The gravitational pressure here was certainly very strong many times over compared to before.

Not to be outdone, Zhang also started climbing again. He said, “I will snatch the first champion, Yue Jian!”

“You can't!” Yue Jian seemed to have the spirit of competition again today. “I'll conquer the Tenth Archway!”

“I'll do it faster!”

Zhang and Yue Jian competed who was faster in climbing the stairs. They are both great friends and rivals. Both pushed each other forward.

Finally, with more effort, the two managed to reach the Ninth Archway at the same time. They must have also entered the gate simultaneously. This time the difference was how long they would fight inside.

Entering the Ninth Arch, Zhang again stood on top of the arena. “Quick out and fight me! I'm in a hurry!” It was obvious that the young man did not want to waste much time.

“You turned out to be very excited, Zhang!”

Zhang immediately looked to the source of the familiar voice he heard, then said, “Xian Ji?”

“We meet again, Zhang!” Xian Ji stood on the other side of the arena, claiming that he was Zhang's opponent.

“Reacted to be true you!” Zhang was distracted for a moment, but then remembered something. “Xian Ji, let's fight fast!”

“You hurry once,” Xian Ji replied. “This Ninth Gate will make you fight with a rank of one hundred to two hundred, and I myself am a rank one hundred. Are you really sure you can beat me?”

“Fang Chu will also fight me!”

“I forgot you were the one who had offended Fang Chu. Hahahaha!” Xian Ji laughed. “Alright, let's fight now, Zhang!”

“Good!”

Zhang unhesitatingly stomped his feet straight away, creating a wall of earth that shut Xian Ji in four directions. Not quite getting there, he also immediately enveloped both of his hands with the power of the earth element.

“Mountain blower!” Xian Ji took out her nurse, smashing the wall of land that was in front of her.

“Punch origin forward!” Zhang darted quickly forward, launching a hard punch with his right hand.

Xian Ji did not panic, but instead immediately formed sturdy horses, fending off Zhang's punch. “Blows a thousand directions!”

Zhang's punches and Xian Ji's punches clashed against each other. The two of them did not want to give up on each other. However, when Zhang raised a little more of his strength, Xian Ji lost his balance, then was hit by one of Zhang's violent blows that shot into the young man's face.

Xian Ji fell down, Zhang stopped the attack, keeping his distance by retreating backwards. “Do you want to give up, Xian Ji?” Surely Zhang had no intention of hurting the young man who was now his opponent.

Surely Zhang was unwilling to betray Xian Ji's expectations. He immediately coated the power of the earth element that coated both hands, with the power of the fire element. This made both of his hands were like they were coated by a hard ground that was burned by an unquenchable fire.

“I will defeat you, Xian Ji!”

“That's new name spirit!” Xian Ji took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. He was seen covering his entire body with a yellow light. “I'm Xian Ji of the Human Race Hou!”

Xian Ji's body was like it was coated by a yellow aura armor. Behind the young man, a creature similar to a crocodile is yellow, but has dragon-like horns.

“Me, Zhang! On behalf of my teacher, I will not lose!” Zhang pitted his fists together until a fairly strong air wave was created.

Xian Ji smiled, “Come forward!”

Suddenly Zhang felt himself unable to move. Xian Ji had locked onto Zhang's movements using the sound Technique mastered by the Hou Human Race. However, Zhang was unaware of this.

Xian Ji darted forward, about to launch an attack while Hou—creature like a crocodile earlier, continuously issuing sound attacks. Here Xian Ji felt like he had the upper hand. However, it is unfortunate that Zhang was forcefully able to escape the effects of the sound attack.

“Ha!!” Zhang unleashed a single blow forward.

“Three level mountain crushing blows!!” Xian Ji deliberately pitted his fist with Zhang's punch.

The air wave was so loud, it instantly echoed. The airwaves can destroy the battle arena into two parts.

Although the two young warriors were affected by the airwaves earlier, they were still able to stand firm. The two faced each other with breathless breathing. Then Xian Ji jumped backwards.

“You are indeed very strong, Zhang!” xian Ji said, praising the layer of Zhang's hand that wasn't crushed.

“You are also decent,” replied Zhang. “You were able to put out the fire that coats my right hand.”

Xian Ji had indeed managed to extinguish the fire in Zhang's right hand, but to do so he lost half the armor of his yellow aura. Now only part of his body is covered by armor. Moreover, the yellow-colored Huo behind him was also getting weaker.

“Uhuk!” Xian Ji fell to his knees on the ground while spewing blood.

“Xian Ji!” Zhang immediately approached Xian Ji.

“It looks like the wave did not just damage my armor,” Xian Ji said. “Remember this, Zhang. In the Tenth Archway you will face a warrior above the hundredth rank. It could have been ninety-nine, but it could also be rank ten! You have to be careful.”

“Thank you, Xian Ji!”

With this, Zhang managed to pass through the Ninth Archway. He walked out of the archway, while Xian Ji disappeared from the arena.

“I will definitely snatch rank one!” zhang said as he exited the archway. However, the young man was a little late, as it turned out that Yue Jian was already close to entering the Tenth Arch. “I won't lose to you, Yue Jian!”

Zhang immediately chased after her. He did not want to always lose to Yue Jian.

“I will win!” yue Jian exclaimed which then entered into the archway.

“I won't let you, Yue Jian!”
