From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master

The next match was Ho Ming against the Lightning Kick Sect’s disciple, Luo, at Foundation Establishment Level.

Although Ho Ming at Qi Concentration Level, Stage Nine, was near Foundation Establishment Level, he was still disadvantaged.

"Do you need Blood and Qi Restoration pills? I’ve got plenty," Lin Fan went over and asked.

He feared Ho Ming might not be able to handle the opponent.

Ho Ming shook his head and said, "I think you’ve forgotten I’m richer than you are."

He then revealed inside his robe the bottles of Blood and Qi Restoration pills he had.

"I see you’ve learned from the best," Lin Fan patted Ho Ming on his shoulder.

Ho Ming then went into the arena.

As someone new, the spectators looked on curiously.

What was this Qing Feng Sect disciple doing with two swords?

Could it be that he had the Double Sword Cultivation Root?

His opponent Luo wore a nice-looking silk robe and had a lot of jewelry on him.

He smirked when he saw Ho Ming’s young looks.

Must be an inexperienced disciple for him to defeat.

When both were in place, the judge shouted, "On my count: one, two and three. Start!"

The next moment, Ho Ming drew out both of his swords and made the sun reflect into Luo’s eyes.

"You!" Luo cursed as he was blinded for a moment.

Ho Ming then thrust the sword in his right hand toward Luo.

A gust of twirling wind shot at Luo, bringing up dirt from the ground, leaving a trail as it approached Luo.

By this time, Luo could already see, and he ducked by rolling to Ho Ming’s right.

Whoosh.

The twirling wind missed and only managed to cut pieces of cloth from Luo’s robe.

Luo stood up and looked at his torn sleeve.

"Damn you! This robe cost more than your lowly life!"

He lunged at Ho Ming.

Boom!

Dirt flew all over from where Luo was standing.

And the next moment he was in front of Ho Ming.

Thud.

Luo kicked at Ho Ming’s knee, trying to bring him to the ground. Your journey continues on freewebnovel

With his left sword, Ho Ming plunged it into the ground to support himself.

His right hand slashed at Luo, stopping his advances.

Luo jumped back as Ho Ming’s sword came at his face.

But it was a close call; a few strands of hair slowly fell to the ground.

Ho Ming’s slashes had sliced off a few strands of hair from Luo.

This angered Luo again.

Luo then gave out a loud cry, and his legs glowed bright blue.

The Lightning Kick Technique.

Thud.

With a shimmer like blue lightning, Luo was too fast for Ho Ming, and his kick at Ho Ming’s chest landed.

"Argh!" Ho Ming spat out blood as he flew a few meters away due to the impact.

When Ho Ming looked up, all he could see was a shimmer of blue light coming toward him.

This time Luo’s feet came closer and closer as they hit Ho Ming’s head.

Ho Ming quickly slashed out an X strike, forcing Luo to dodge.

This bought him some time, and he quickly took out and swallowed a Blood and Qi Restoration pill.

The effect was immediate; his Qi restored, and his chest didn’t feel so painful anymore.

"Blood and Qi Restoration Pill, huh? Let’s see how many you’ve got to withstand all my blows."

Luo said as he saw Ho Ming taking the pill.

He lunged at Ho Ming with his Lightning Kick again.

But Ho Ming was ready this time; with his left sword, he slashed it onto the ground.

Boom!

An explosion ensued, and it radiated toward Luo.

Luo, being caught in the explosion, tumbled away, leaving a trail on the dirt ground.

The Thunderous Exploding Sword Technique.

When Luo stood up, he looked at his now-tattered silk robe covered with dirt and his jewelry broken into pieces.

This made him clench his fist and grind his teeth in anger.

"Let’s see if you can execute the strike again!" Luo pointed and shouted at Ho Ming.

Ho Ming at Qi Concentration Level couldn’t have enough Qi to execute it one more time.

To his surprise, Ho Ming took out another Blood and Qi Restoration pill again.

This time the spectators had a glimpse of how many bottles of pills he had on him.

"Who is this guy?"

"Why would anyone have so many pills on them?"

"Sigh. We don’t have so many because we can’t afford them."

"This guy however..."

The spectators were jealous that Ho Ming had such luxury.

It would take them a month of missions to earn enough to buy a bottle of pills.

"You..." Luo was lost for words as his finger shook at Ho Ming.

Ho Ming smiled and with his left sword slashed onto the ground again.

Boom!

An explosion ensued, sending dirt flying at Luo.

Luo quickly leaped and dodged to the right.

But this time Ho Ming was waiting for him to do that.

He thrust his right sword in anticipation.

The Twirling Wind Strike caught Luo, drilling itself into his chest, sending bits of his silk robes flying into the air.

"Argh!" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Luo coughed out blood and fell to the ground.

He quickly raised his hands and shouted, "I give up!"

He wasn’t going to risk his life like Di Tuo.

Who would give up his luxurious life for a win? Luo thought.

So much for the information that he had gotten that Ho Ming would be a pushover with his speed.

"I declare the winner, Ho Ming from Qing Feng sect!" the judge shouted.

Everyone from Qing Feng sect cheered.

Lin Fan nodded at Ho Ming’s excellent performance.

And Ho Ming smiled back.

Happy with himself that his performance didn’t drag Lin Fan down.

"He really is a Double Sword Cultivation Root."

"Qing Feng Sect has been keeping mum about such young talents."

"That’s such a rare talent though."

The spectators started to discuss Ho Ming’s cultivation root.

They’d witnessed the advantage of being able to wield two swords using different techniques at the same time.

"Qing Yang Zi, what a performance from your disciples, being so much better than the other sects," the Emperor said as he raised another toast to Qing Yang Zi.

"It couldn’t be done without the support of your majesty," Qing Yang Zi replied and bottomed up again.

"Your majesty, Qing Feng sect is indeed powerful," Concubine Li Fei said as she held onto the Emperor’s hand.

"My concubine, what do you mean? They are the best in Quan Dynasty." the Emperor replied.

This was why he loved the concubine, able to chime in at the right moment.
