The Zero Inside the Martial Arts Library
Chapter 24: Sword Arts vs. Sword Arts
“You are bravely..”
Qin Yuyan muttered. The confusion in his eyes gradually turned into calmness.
He took a deep breath and put down the cat.
“Tn. Thank ye. I have the answer now.”
Ye Xiao nodded and continued reading while Qin Yuyan turned around and left.
The next two days passed in the blink of an eye.
In just two short days, the hottest topic of discussion in the entire city of Jianghai was the sword arts genius from Han province, Piao Jiansheng, challenging the daughter of the Qin family in Jianghai city, Qin Yuyan.
Everyone naturally knew how powerful Piao Jiansheng was. Although they hated the people in Han state, Piao Jiansheng must have made a name for himself as he was able to defeat all the sword arts martial artists from Jing province himself.
As for Qin Yuyan's strength, it was difficult for everyone to judge.
The Qin family was the most powerful family in Jianghai city, and they had the support of Qin Shenglong, one of the city's grandmasters. Qin Yuyan's sword arts prowess was definitely not bad.
However, the problem was that compared to the entire Jing province, Jianghai city was not known to have much competition in that regard.
All the geniuses of Jing province had been defeated. Can Qin Yuyan do it?
Finally, on the third day of unrelenting popularity, the martial arts hall of Jianghai Martial Arts Academy welcomed the battle that everyone was focusing on.
In the waiting room outside the hall, Qin Shenglong stared intently at his grandson, whom he was most proud of.
“Yuyan, take it easy and do your best. Every move you take is already considered a victory! ”
Qin Shenglong was not a fool. He knew that his grandson was no match for Piao Jiansheng.
It was just like how the sword techniques of the Qin family could not possibly be higher than the sword techniques of the noble families in Jing province.
However, the longer he lasted, the more he could demonstrate the Qin family's level of sword techniques and his own talent.
Qin Yuyan took a deep breath and said with a hint of determination in her eyes,
“Grandfather, I've been under your watch for 21 years! In those years, I have listened to your every word and have never dared to oppose the teachings of the Qin family ancestor.
“However, today's battle concerns the honor of the nine provinces, and it also concerns my future martial path.
“This time, whatever I do, I hope grandfather can understand and support me!”
Qin Shenglong was stunned. He looked at Qin Yuyan with confusion and confusion.
“Yuyan, you mean..?”
Qin Yuyan walked past her grandfather towards the martial arts hall.
“I want to win this match.”
Qin Shenglong's body suddenly shook, and then his brows furrowed.
‘Does he have a fever or what?’
Shaking his head, he followed.
In the martial arts hall, Piao Jiansheng had been standing on the stage since morning.
Many girls in the surrounding stands shouted words like ‘Piao Jiansheng, I love you’, causing the faces of many boys to turn pale from anger.
Piao Jiansheng's appearance was indeed not bad, which attracted many girls.
However, Piao Jiansheng held his hands behind his back and his eyes were slightly closed, as if the noise around him had nothing to do with him.
Not until a voice appeared did he suddenly open his eyes.
“Qin Yuyan is here!”
As if wanting to fight the girls, some of the boys also started to mock.
“Qin Senior, I love you!”
“Qin, defeat that pretentious fool!”
Piao Jiansheng opened his eyes. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
A true martial artist would never be too interested in anything other than martial arts.
Even if Qin Yuyan was indeed beautiful outside of the mortal world, it was far less meaningful than her increasing her own strength.
Qin Shenglong also walked into the stands and sat down beside Professor Du Changfeng.
“How is it? Is Yuyan okay?”
Du Changfeng asked.
Qin Shenglong sighed.
“I'm not too sure. I feel she's a little weird today.”
“Any?”
Du Changfeng looked at Qin Yuyan on the field and sensed something strange.
“The eyes of this child are very determined!”
Du Changfeng's pupils shriveled.
“This child may have something behind his sleeve.”
The battle in the arena immediately began. Chief i Jin of Han state spoke up,
“In this match, both sides had to suppress their cultivation to fifth grade.
“The weapon that should be used is a sheathed iron sword.
“If breaking the rules, automatically declared lose.
“In the case of fatalities, the offender will bear all the consequences.
“If there is no objection, the competition will start!”
The hand of Piao Jiansheng who was behind his back slowly hung up. The academy staff offered them each an iron sword.
Piao Jiansheng's right hand was about to receive the sword when Qin Yuyan suddenly said,
“Wait a minute!”
Everyone present could not help but frown a little, not understanding what was going on.
Piao Jiansheng also stopped.
The next moment, Qin Yuyan spoke once more,
“If this fight is only a sword arts competition, then I am not your match. That kind of fight was meaningless, so I admitted to losing!”
As soon as those words were spoken, the entire crowd went into an uproar, especially Qin Shenglong.
“Has he gone mad? What's he doing?”
Du Changfeng sensed something unusual and held him back.
“Qin Old, don't be rash. Let's just see.”
Then, as everyone was discussing, Qin Yuyan said clearly,
“But! I want to challenge you using another kind of martial art!”
Piao Jiansheng was a little interested.
“What kind of martial arts?”
“Swield arts!”
With that one word, he once again caused an uproar.
“Did not the Qin family use a sword? Why would he want to use a sword?”
“What does he do?”
Qin Shenglong immediately slapped the table and stood up. He was not angry even when Qin Yuyan admitted defeat now.
“This damn girl! Was he planning to humiliate the Qin family? He actually practiced sword techniques!”
However, Du Changfeng still firmly held him back.
“Qin Old, let's wait and see.”
There was a little excitement in his eyes.
In the arena, Chief i Jin immediately objected.
“No, we are here to challenge sword arts martial artists from the nine provinces. We will not accept the use of sword techniques!”
They're not stupid. After all, the nine provinces were vast and had many geniuses of all kinds of martial arts.
Competing against only sword arts martial artists could reduce a large number of competitors in the nine provinces.
Otherwise, if those who used swords, knives, weapons, and fists all gathered together, it would greatly reduce Piao Jiansheng's success rate.
However, Piao Jiansheng looked at Qin Yuyan with interest.
“The Qin family focuses on swordsmanship. Did you secretly learn the sword technique? ”
Qin Yuyan nodded.
“Lalu ... How long have you studied it?”
“Less than two months!”
Everyone is in a fuss again.
“This girl is absolutely crazy!”
“What did Senior Qin do? Is he stupid? He did not use the sword arts that he had trained for 10 to 20 years, but instead, he used the sword arts that he had trained for two months!”
Amidst the doubtful sounds of the crowd, Piao Jiansheng looked at Qin Yuyan. Seeing the determination in his eyes, he finally nodded.
“Good.. Let's do.”
