Chapter 588: Chen Changsheng “Defeated”, Swordsmanship Prodigy Zhang Zhen
“Ding!”
Just as the words fell, Zhang Zhen instantly arrived at Chen Changsheng’s right side with ghostly footwork and then delivered a horizontal slash.
“Puff!”
Just when Zhang Zhen thought this strike would land successfully, a powerful recoil force forced him back.
His ordinary cloth shoes directly left long streaks on the surface of the arena.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng helplessly rolled his eyes and said, “Come on, can you at least show some martial virtues?”
“Attacking a nobody like me with all your strength, isn’t that embarrassing?”
“And also, you’re a cultivator, can you wear something more suitable for cultivators?”
“These ordinary clothes can’t stand the fights of practitioners.”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s complaints, Zhang Zhen paid no heed. He simply kicked off his cloth shoes and then vigilant, changed his stance.
Strong! Very strong!
This was the only thought that filled Zhang Zhen’s mind.
Since his debut, no one had been able to so easily withstand one of his strikes.
What was even more exaggerated was that this person’s swordplay was extremely fast; he could barely see the trajectory of the blade.
At the same time, Chen Changsheng’s heart, calm as water, began to stir.
Strong! Very strong!
This young man could actually take one of his casual strikes. Such talent was unprecedented in the Eight Desolates Nine Domains.
It should be known that Chen Changsheng was well-versed in myriad techniques at the moment, not to mention having accumulated tens of thousands of combat experiences.
Even without relying on his cultivation base, he could make these young practitioners scream in panic.
According to the current situation in the Eight Desolates Nine Domains, among prodigies under a thousand years of age, there were only about ten who could discern his techniques.
To receive one move from him, at most only a handful could reach that level.
What was even more striking was the young man’s rare temperament.
He did not make a move unless absolutely necessary, and when he did, it was a thunderous strike, entirely unaffected by external factors.
All of Chen Changsheng’s trash talk had no effect on him whatsoever.
Thinking this, Chen Changsheng’s lips curled up as he continued, “Come on! Why aren’t you attacking again?”
“That last strike was decent, but it’s still not enough for me.”
“If you can’t even defeat a nobody like me, how do you expect to beat the top sword cultivator in the Eight Desolates Nine Domains?”
Hearing this, Zhang Zhen seized on a flaw that Chen Changsheng revealed and quickly attacked.
The two ordinary blades clashed, creating sparks, as the dense shadows of the blades wove into a large net in the air.
Against this airtight assault, Chen Changsheng defended with one hand holding the blade.
As Zhang Zhen’s offensive grew more ferocious, Chen Changsheng’s astonishment grew larger.
Because he discovered that this Zhang Zhen was neither a level-headed combatant nor a prodigy cultivated by a powerful sect.
From the style of his swordplay, it was clear that he came from a humble background, and his sword techniques were all of third-rate quality.
However, a genius is still a genius. An ordinary sword technique in his hands could turn decay into wonder.
Strictly in terms of understanding swordplay, this person was absolutely above Chen Changsheng.
The reason Chen Changsheng remained unbeaten was entirely due to the multitude of first-rate sword technique manuals existing in his mind.
However, no matter how many manuals there were, there would eventually come a time when they were exhausted. Once Chen Changsheng’s techniques grew stale, that would be when he faced defeat.
Thinking this, Chen Changsheng immediately engaged in a conversation with the system in his mind.
“System, it seems I’m going to lose this match.”
“In the Revival Match, it is very normal for you to lose. Among countless geniuses, your talent has never been the pinnacle.”
“Within the same realm, you cannot achieve true invincibility.”
Just as the system finished speaking, there was a sudden violent sound of metal clashing on the arena.
“Crack!”
Both blades broke simultaneously.

Looking at the broken blade in his hand, Chen Changsheng was momentarily stunned.
To know, he was currently in the Immortal King Realm.
Even if he held just a grass blade, these little kids shouldn’t be able to break it.
One unexpected “surprise” after another left Chen Changsheng dazed, but Zhang Zhen dared not slack off even a little.
He discarded the handle of his broken sword and then took out a long kn*fe.
At this moment, a flush of abnormal redness appeared on his face.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng’s lips subtly curled up as he directly turned and jumped off the arena.
“You won. We shall meet again in the future.”
This sudden victory left Zhang Zhen somewhat confused.
To be fair, he had no confidence in defeating the formidable opponent before him, at least not at the moment.
But why did he suddenly concede?
Thinking this, Zhang Zhen muttered, “At the Sword Cultivator Conference, there are indeed hidden dragons and crouching tigers. To defeat such a strong opponent, I probably still need two or three more years.”
“But the problem is, my time is running short.”
After saying this, Zhang Zhen immediately clenched his fists.
“To survive, I must defeat the champion of the Sword Cultivator Conference.”
…
Sword Qi Great Wall.
“Sorry, but it seems I also lost.”
“But in the revival match, I will still be granted a forfeit. You all need to work hard next.”
Chen Changsheng smiled as he shared the news of his defeat with everyone. At the same time, he held an ordinary tool kn*fe in his hand.
Knowing that Chen Changsheng was going to duel Zhang Zhen, Gui Qianjie and others naturally rushed to watch.
At the same time, Gui Qianjie secretly notified Xu Yao and Ma Ling’er about the match.
Thus, everyone witnessed the duel between Chen Changsheng and Zhang Zhen with their own eyes.
Now that Chen Changsheng had taken out another ordinary tool kn*fe, even without thinking, they knew what he was about to do.
“This ordinary kn*fe in my hand is a weapon of mortals, priced at ten taels of silver each.”
“The requirement is simple; you all need to find a way to break the kn*fe in my hand.”
“Su You, although you just arrived, my requirements for you are the same. Is that unfair to you?”
Hearing this, Su You immediately clasped his hands and said, “It is an honor for Su You to receive guidance from the master.”
“Very good, it seems Dragon Tiger Mountain has taught you well, and you have learned thoroughly.”
“Get ready and attack quickly.”
As the words fell, several prodigies launched an attack on Chen Changsheng simultaneously.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
A huge commotion erupted in the concealed area of the Sword Qi Great Wall.
…
Half an hour later.
“Crack!”
The kn*fe in Chen Changsheng’s hand was cut through by Xu Yao, who was panting for breath.
And around Chen Changsheng, there were several “corpses” lying around.
“Tsk tsk!”
“You’re all way off the mark compared to him. In the future, don’t say you know me; I can’t afford that reputation.”
“When I sparred with Zhang Zhen, I only used a little bit of physical strength.”
“Now although I’ve moved my Lamp of Life Realm cultivation, your numbers have also increased. In that sense, it’s relatively balanced.”
“But the conclusion is that he used an ordinary kn*fe to fight me evenly, while you all fought in such a pathetic manner.”
“Know this: You have had renowned teachers guiding you since childhood, and you are wielding divine weapons.”
“If it weren’t for Xu Yao using her last ounce of strength, you wouldn’t even have qualified to damage the kn*fe in my hand.”
“It seems I cannot continue staying with you fools. If I stay longer with you, it will lower my standards.”
