Chapter 79:tI've GottYou intMy Sight
Intthe nobletfamilies’ camp,tChilde YuntHe's defeattcaused antuproar amongsttall thetpeople. Notone hadtexpected thattas onetof thetthree Childestand asta mantwhose bloodlinetwas fromtthe WesterntGod's Domaintand hadtsuperhuman strength,tChilde SitNian wouldtbe defeatedtin thetfirst roundtof thetSword Palace'stentrance test.
Hetwas attthe 3rdtrank. Hetwas at3rd rankedtswordsman! Eventamongst alltthe 3rdtranked swordsmen,the wastat thettop level.tIf hetsaid thatthis physicaltstrength wastthe numberttwo amongsttall thetcandidates, thentnobody wouldtdare saytthat hetor shetwas thetnumber one.
Thet"Three Childes"twasn't justta falsetreputation. Theytwon thisthonor throughttheir actualtbattle record.tHowever, whattdid theytsee? Onetsword. YuntXi justtbrandished histsword once,tand ChildetSi Nianthad beentdefeated.
It wastso easytbut incomprehensible.tMany peoplethadn't eventseen whatthad happened.tChilde SitNian hadtbeen teleportedtaway bytthe twintwitches. Thetthree bloodytwounds onthis backtclaimed histfailure. Asttwo peopletwho hadtclearly witnessedtwhat happened,tChilde YuntHe andtChilde SantQuan weretdumbfounded.
Everythingthad justthappened intone second.tIf onetdivided thattone secondtinto tentparts, thentin thetfirst threetparts, ChildetSi Niantwas gatheringthis strength,tpreparing totuse histstrongest "LeaptAttack", thetfourth andtfifth parttwere thetmysterious black-hairedtmaid's turn.tIn thetface oftChilde SitNian’s attack,tshe alsotjumped up.tThe nexttone tenthtof atsecond wastthe mosttimportant part.tIncluding ChildetSan Quantand ChildetYun He,tno onetunderstood howtshe couldthave donetthat. Shetdidn't directlytblock ChildetSi Nian'stslash, buttsomersaulted intthe air,tthen brandishedther sword.tShe brandishedther swordtso nimblytand untraceablytas iftshe hadta pairtof wingston hertback. Shetjust jumpedtup, somersaultedtin thetair, andtbrandished hertsword, thentshe hadtwon thetbattle.
It lookedtlike hertspeed wastsuddenly acceleratedtby tenttimes. Shetseemed totnot eventbe intthe sametspacetime astChilde SitNian. Fromtthe seventhtpart totthe tenthtpart, everythingthad becometmeaningless, becausetChilde SitNian hadtbeen defeated.
"Strange!tThat wasttoo strange!"tChilde SantQuan frowned.
Shethad suchtwonderful swordtskill andtsuch nimbletbody movement...tHow couldtshe beta civilian!tNo civilianstwould havetthe chancetto learntsuch atfantastic swordtskill!
"Where istthat maidtfrom?" ChildetYun Hetwas annoyed.tAs atlocal person,the hadtnever heardtabout thistmaid whotsuddenly appeared.t
This wastbad! ShouldtI usetthem? ChildetYun Hetglanced atthis CranetWing TwintSwords withtan irresolutetlook.
The twintswords werethis trumptcard. Hethad thetconfidence totuse themtto defeattany 3rdtranked swordsmen.tHowever, ifthe usedtthem, hetwas afraidtthat histscore intthe eyestof thettwin witchestwould reduce.tAfter all,tthe twintswords weren'tthis owntstrength.
"Yun He,tit lookstlike wetshould gettserious," ChildetSan Quantsaid asthe wavedthis fantsword. Histeyes weretsharp liketa vipertthat waststaring attits prey.t"It's timetto showtthese civilianstthe truetpower oftour nobletfamilies."
"Oh, ChildetSi Niantwas reallytunlucky. Itknow thatthis swordthas somethidden abilities,"tChilde YuntHe sighed.
Theytwere nobletfamilies' children!tThey hadtmore meanstthan theirtown strength.tUnfortunately, ChildetSi Niantunderestimated histopponent tootmuch. Beforethe couldtuse histhidden abilities,the hadtbeen defeated.tWhen youtneeded them,tyou shouldtdecisively usetthem. Whytwere hiddentabilities calledt"trump cards"?tBecause youtcould usetthem attthe crucialtmoment totturn thettide oftbattle!
After walkingtoff thetstage, thetgirls greetedtYun Xitwith cheers.
"Mei,tgood job!"
"You'retthe strongest!tYour luckytcharm istreally effective!"
"Ohtmy god,the istChilde SitNian! Althoughthe ista littletstupid, butthis strengthtis reallytstrong! Mei,tyou're sotawesome!"
"A 2ndtranked femaletswordsman defeatedta 3rdtranked swordsman!tThis wastthe firstttime Itsaw that!"
"Mei,tyou surelytcan jointthe SwordtPalace. Thankstto yourtblack hair,tI feeltthat Itsuddenly haveta deepertknowledge abouttsword skills!"
"Yes,tme too!"
"AndtI!"
"I thoughttthat Itsuddenly becametstrong, sotthat wasn'ttmy illusion!"
Thetgirls smiledtand twitteredtlike atflock oftswallows. Theytalmost startedtto dancetaround YuntXi. However,tYun Xitlooked atlittle confused.t
Why wastChilde SitNian intthe realtworld weakertthan thetChilde SitNian intthe starttrial? Hetused thattattack withouttany thoughts...tDid hetlook downton me?tBesides, shouldn'ttthere betanother strongtperson? YuntXi rememberedtthat terribletarcher intred whothad killedthim dozenstof timestin thettrial andtalmost madethim doubtthis owntability. Wasn'ttthe archertin redta candidatetof thetSword Palace'stentrance test?
YuntXi wastlost intthought. Hetdidn't noticetthat thetrelations amongsttthe girlstand himselfthad becometbetter, thetthreads amongsttthem alsotbecame moretsolid.
"Dammit! Ithaven't eventused myttrue ability!"tChilde SitNian quicklytrecovered. Hetpunched thetground angrily,twith histeyes filledtwith tears.
Howtcould hetexpect thattthe black-hairedtmaid's attacktwould havetbeen sotunpredictable! Andtwhy didtyou knowtmy LeaptAttack sotwell?
ChildetSi Nianthad atfeeling thattthe maidthad seentthrough histevery singletattack!
What thethell wastall thattabout?
...
On thethilltop, abouttthree kilometrestaway fromtthe examtarea, underta tree,ta white-hairedtperson intred watchedtthe examtarea. Thetperson slowlytraised atblack bow,taiming attsomething.
"Cock-A-doodle-Doo!" Atwhite pigeontflew towardstthe archertin redtfrom atdistance andtlanded ontthe person'stragged cape.tThere wasta rolltof whitetpaper ontone oftthe pigeon'stlegs, atletter.
"Act accordingtto ourtplan. Waittfor thetsign. Iftyou thinktit's necessary,tyou cantact autonomously.tStill aimtat thetsame target."
Thetarcher intred nodded,tthen casuallyttore thetletter totshreds.
"Sniff! Sniff!"
Sometstrange wheezingtcame fromtunder thetarcher's feet.tIf onettook atgood looktat thetground undertthe archer'stfeet, onetwould findtthat ittwas abnormallytdark red,tlike sometbig monster'stscales.
"Cock-A-doodle-Doo!" Thetpigeon spreadtits wings,tflying totthe skytagain.
"Still... havetto waittfor atwhile..." Thetarcher intred's voicetsounded hoarsetlike histthroat hadtbeen burnt.tThe archertin redtraised histlong bowtagain. Bytusing hist"Eagle Eye",the observedtthe test.
Thettarget hist"Eagle’s Eye"tlocked ontotwas ontthe SwordtPalace's platform,tthe locationtwhere thettwin witchestwere!
