I Can Devour Spirits

”Ding” went the sound, and both of them felt their tiger mouths tremble.

Duan Rong, who was watching from the sidelines, narrowed his eyes slightly. In that brief exchange, he could already tell that Xiao Yu not only had better saber techniques than this big man, but her True Qi was also slightly superior.

In Duan Rong’s view, this duel was already without suspense, and Xiao Yu was sure to win.

Although Xiao Yu didn’t excel in Divine Soul Strength, she barely passed the first Divine Soul Test.

But over these three years, with Duan Rong’s careful guidance in Martial Arts, she had thoroughly understood the Flowing Cloud Snow Shadow Saber’s techniques, mastering them completely.

Moreover, in True Qi cultivation, Xiao Yu, Ximen Kankan, and Shen Mizi, with Duan Rong’s alchemy assistance, had resources for cultivation far superior to ordinary registered disciples.

Although Xiao Yu was still entangled with the big man, in Duan Rong’s eyes, the outcome was already decided.

He slowly left the crowd watching the fight and headed toward Ximen Kankan’s area.

Actually, among Ximen Kankan, Xiao Yu, and Shen Mizi, Duan Rong was most worried about Xiao Yu, but now it seemed her luck wasn’t bad.

Duan Rong walked leisurely toward where Ximen Kankan’s circle number was located.

Along the way, he glanced at the figures dueling inside the circles he passed by.

As he walked, he realized that he recognized every single Martial Art they were using.

It didn’t take long for Duan Rong to stop in front of the circle marked ”Jia Shen Sixty” in red paint.

Ximen Kankan was inside, frantically battling someone.

Duan Rong’s eyelids twitched slightly.

He originally wasn’t worried about Ximen Kankan at all, as Ximen Kankan had already achieved the True Qi Realm Second Level. But unexpectedly, his luck wasn’t good, as he encountered an expert on par with him.

Despite the chaotic movement, after watching for a couple of breaths, Duan Rong identified the Martial Arts style of Ximen Kankan’s opponent.

The opponent was using a Martial Art called the Eighteen Leaf-Sweeping Sabers.

Though the name might sound utterly mundane, this technique was, in fact, extremely formidable, with moves connecting seamlessly, becoming increasingly aggressive in combat!

The Eighteen Leaf-Sweeping Sabers and Ximen Kankan’s Sky-Cleaving Saber were evenly matched, each with its strengths, and if the battle went on, it might slightly suppress the Sky-Cleaving Saber.

Duan Rong stood there with his arms crossed, his gaze flickering. He was very familiar with both the Sky-Cleaving Saber and the Eighteen Leaf-Sweeping Sabers. Duan Rong was pondering the mutual promotion and restraint of these two Martial Arts.

After just a few breaths, Duan Rong’s eyes suddenly brightened.

He suddenly cleared his throat and looked at someone beside him, who was also watching the fight.

Duan Rong suddenly raised his voice and said to that person, ”Brother, do you know where the strength of this Eighteen Leaf-Sweeping Sabers lies?”

The person was slightly stunned to see Duan Rong talking to him, as he didn’t know Duan Rong at all. Therefore, he merely cast a baffled glance at Duan Rong.

But Duan Rong continued, ”The strength of the Eighteen Leaf-Sweeping Sabers lies in its continuous and unbroken moves, with layers of power stacking.”

This caught that person’s attention, as he felt Duan Rong made some sense. His elder brother Chen had once used similar words to describe this saber technique.

The person looked at Duan Rong with a bit of admiration, saying, ”Brother, you have good insight!”

At this moment, Duan Rong glanced into the circle at the chaotic fight and raised his voice a bit more, saying, ”But this Martial Art also has its weaknesses.”

Ximen Kankan, always keenly aware, recognized Duan Rong’s voice when he coughed, and hearing Duan Rong mention the weaknesses of the Martial Arts, naturally listened intently while dodging about with his saber flashing.

Duan Rong said, ”The weakness of the Eighteen Leaf-Sweeping Sabers lies at the transitions of its continuous moves. These transitions usually occur at the shoulders, which are not easily noticeable by simply observing.”

Ximen Kankan was overjoyed upon hearing Duan Rong’s words.

All his Sky-Cleaving Saber moves immediately targeted his opponent’s shoulders. Ximen Kankan, though stubby as a winter melon, moved with the agility of a monkey, his attacks fierce and relentless.

Once the transition points of the Eighteen Leaf-Sweeping Sabers were continuously attacked, its power dissipated, greatly reducing its might.

Soon, Ximen Kankan had his opponent retreating step by step, unable to counter.

Suddenly, a gong sounded.

Ximen Kankan immediately leapt back, and as the opponent looked down to see his foot had stepped out of bounds, his face turned pale.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead and letting out a breath, Ximen Kankan turned his head, looking at Duan Rong with gratitude.

Meanwhile, the opponent gave Duan Rong an icy glare, standing among four or five watching from outside the circle, his eyes glaring venomously. ”What are you talking for?!”

When Duan Rong exposed his Martial Arts weakness, it startled him greatly!

He looked at the attendant from the Internal History Department responsible for monitoring and registration, pointing at Duan Rong, ”This guy was blabbing and affecting the assessment; aren’t you going to do something?”

The attendant glanced at Duan Rong and then back at the opponent, saying, ”The rules don’t say that people on the sidelines can’t talk.”

Duan Rong said, ”I didn’t intend to speak; it was this brother who asked me.”

Referring, of course, to the person standing next to him, whose face turned quite gloomy upon hearing Duan Rong’s statement.

The recently defeated opponent shifted his gaze, glaring at the person next to Duan Rong, the muscles on his face twitching slightly. ”So it was you!”
