Chapter 143: Shushan Competition (Part 2)
The Shushan disciples below began to discuss
"What, Senior Brother Taiwu wants to challenge Anos?"
"Who is Anos?"
"Never heard of it."
"Who is this Anos? Why does Mr. Li and Senior Brother Taiwu pay so much attention to him?"
Dugu Sword Saint said, "Taiwu, I understand your feelings.
The problem is that he is not from Shushan, so it is difficult for him to participate in the Shushan Competition.
Secondly, he is still recuperating and is a guest of our Shushan, so it is inconvenient to use force."
Tai Wu's face was immediately filled with disappointment. Then he heard someone shout from below, "If that's the case, why not have a competition?"
Everyone was looking for the source of the sound, and then another burst of laughter was heard from the arena.
Everyone looked towards the arena and found that there was suddenly a man on the arena, and that man was Lin Shen.
Tai Wu saluted Lin Shen and said, "I'm sorry, Anos, for making you have to fight me while you recuperate."
Lin Shen waved his hands and said, "Forget it, I've almost recovered. If I don't move around, my joints will become stiff.
But let me make it clear that my fight with you is purely a friendly exchange and cannot affect the outcome of the competition."
Lin Yueru complained in the audience, "What a jerk Anos is! He's not even fully recovered yet and he's already going up to fight someone else."
Zhao Linger comforted her, "Sister Yueru, Brother Anos just doesn't want to leave Taoist Taiwu with any regrets. And you know his level well."
Lin Yueru said, "That's true, but he's too reckless."
Tai Wu said, "Okay, (pulling his sword) Tai Wu, please teach me!"
Lin Shen shouted to Cao Gu, "Cao Gu, lend me your sword!"
Cao Gu just said "hmm" and before he could draw his sword, Lin Shen used the Star Absorbing Technique to absorb Cao Gu's sword into his hand.
Lin Shen said to Tai Wu, "Anos, please give me some advice!"
Taiwu drew his sword and stabbed at Lin Shen. Lin Shen did not rush to draw his sword, but first injected the armament color into the sword, and soon the whole sword turned black.
The Shushan disciples below were all stunned and started discussing:
"What kind of move is this?"
"Why did this sword turn black?!"
Even Cao Gu, who had a good relationship with Lin Shen, was stunned and asked Lin Yueru, "What's this, Master Anos?"
Lin Yueru said, "Anos told me that he can inject a special power into weapons, making them completely black and greatly increasing their hardness and sharpness."
After hearing this, Cao Gu took a deep breath and then said, "I've never heard of this martial art. It seems that Anos is definitely not an ordinary person."
Tai Wu rushed to Lin Shen and thrust his sword at him, but Lin Shen blocked Tai Wu's attack with his scabbard.
After Taiwu put away his sword, he swung it towards Lin Shen's neck again, but Lin Shen blocked it with his scabbard.
In this way, Tai Wu attacked more than thirty times in a row, but each time Lin Shen blocked his attack with his scabbard. Lin Shen quickly jumped back to create distance, unsheathed his sword, and swung it to release a stream of sword energy.
Tai Wu quickly dodged to the side, avoiding Lin Shen's sword energy. Tai Wu immediately used the Ten Thousand Swords Technique, and countless flying swords flew towards Lin Shen.
Lin Shen formed a shield with his fingers, and the flying sword shattered when it touched the shield.
Lin Shen waved his folded hands and a shield flew towards Taiwu. Taiwu was not prepared for this and was hit in the face by the flying shield.
But Taiwu was not knocked off the arena. He squatted on the ground, covering his face and grimacing in pain.
The Shushan disciples below all took a breath of cold air and said
"What kind of path is this?"
"The shield can actually be used for attacking!"
"This Anos is indeed extraordinary." Gang Zhan also felt itchy at this time.
After a while, Taiwu stood up.
Lin Shen asked in a concerned tone, "Master Taiwu, are you okay?"
Taiwu said, "It's okay, let's try again." After that, Taiwu stabbed again with the sword, and Lin Shen also rushed towards Taiwu with the sword. The two fought back and forth for more than forty rounds.
When the two men's swords were crossed, Lin Shen said, "It seems that you have improved a lot during this period of time."
Taiwu said, "It's the same. You were able to evacuate the Demon Locking Tower safely. It seems that your skills have improved a lot." The two people retreated at the same time to keep some distance.
Tai Wu said, "I heard that you have a special kicking technique. When you kick, flames will appear. How about showing it to me?"
The people below were stunned when they heard this and started to talk about it.
"Is there such a kicking technique?!"
"The kick was accompanied by flames, and you still want your legs?"
"Since Senior Brother Taiwu said so, it must be true!"
Lin Shen gave a bitter laugh and said, "I do have this move, but it's very powerful, and I'm afraid you can't handle it. But since you want to see it, it's not impossible."
After saying that, Lin Shen's legs began to turn red, and soon they were wrapped in flames.
This made all the Shushan disciples, including Gangzhan and Taiwu, gasp in shock. Even the Drunken Swordsman and Dugu Swordsman who were watching the battle were stunned when they saw it.
Lin Shen said, "I'm going to go, be careful!"
After saying that, Lin Shen ran towards Taiwu. Taiwu hurriedly made hand gestures and chanted spells to form a golden bell shield.
Seeing that the distance was almost right, Lin Shen jumped up and kicked Tai Wu's shield! Tai Wu inside the shield was also shaken by the impact of Lin Shen's kick.
Taiwu thought he had taken on Lin Shen's kick, but unexpectedly, Lin Shen twisted his waist and kicked Taiwu's shield with his other foot.
Cracks suddenly appeared in the shield, and soon a big hole appeared.
But Lin Shen did not kick for the third time. Instead, he used the shield as a fulcrum and jumped back to create distance. The flames on Lin Shen's legs gradually dissipated.
Tai Wu removed the shield and saluted Lin Shen, saying, "Master Anos's leg skills are superb. I lose!"
Lin Shen also returned the greeting, "Thank you. As agreed beforehand, I'm just playing with you. It won't affect the outcome of the competition. It's just a friendly match, so you're still the winner."
Tai Wu said nothing, only humming a "hmm." The Shushan disciples below were so stunned by the duel that they forgot to cheer.
Dugu Jiansheng and Jiu Jianxian came over and said, "Today's Shushan Martial Arts Competition, the winner is... Taiwu!"
The Shushan disciples below finally came to their senses and began to cheer for Taiwu.
Lin Shen also walked down from the arena and returned the sword to Cao Gu. Cao Gu took the sword, and it returned to its original shape.
Lin Shen said, "Thank you for lending me your sword."
Cao Gu said, "You showed mercy, didn't you?"
Lin Shen whispered, "After all, this is Shushan, your home turf, so just stop there."
Cao Gu said "hmm" and quietly left with Lin Shen and the others.
After Lin Shen returned to the guest room, he called out the system and asked for the location of the next sword.
After a while, the system replied, "Replying to the host, the next sword is in the Trial Cave."
Lin Shen was stunned when he heard this, and said to himself, "Oh my goodness, he's going to the Trial Cave again this time. There are only three left, let's try harder."
At this time, I remembered that I didn’t know whether Zhao Linger’s awakening golden elixir was ready.
At this time, Zhao Linger and Lin Yueru walked in and sat next to Lin Shen.
Zhao Linger asked, "Brother Anos, what are you thinking about?"
Lin Yueru said, "He's probably looking for the next sword."
Lin Shen said, "You still understand me, but you are only half right.
The other part is that it's been a few days since I left Saint Auntie's place, and I wonder how Ling'er's Awakening Golden Core is progressing. I'm planning to go check it out."
Lin Yueru said, "I remember it takes half a month to refine. It should be about the same."
Zhao Linger said, "Then when you have recovered, let's go see the Saint Aunt."
Lin Shen said, "Actually, we can leave tomorrow. I guess Anu misses the Saint Lady a little. But there's one thing I haven't told you."
Lin Yueru said, "What's wrong?"
Lin Shen said, "I know where the Fire Spirit Pearl is, I just didn't get it."
Zhao Linger said, "Really? Where is the Fire Spirit Pearl?"
Lin Shen said, "It's in the Fire Qilin Cave. I saw it last time when I went to get the Fire Qilin Horn for you.
But Elder Qilin said he wanted to see you, so I asked him to keep it for a few days and never took it back."
Lin Yueru said, "Good job, I didn't realize you were such a bad guy. I think you want us to be baptized by the Fire Kylin Cave as well."
Lin Shen said, "You figured it out."
Zhao Linger said, "I understand. After we get the Awakening Golden Pill, we will go to the Fire Qilin Cave.
Sister Yueru, let’s get some rest early. We have a long journey tomorrow.”
Lin Yueru said "hmm" and left with Zhao Linger, leaving Lin Shen alone in the room thinking.
