Chapter 452: Chapter 308: Hanging the ’Peace Token’ High! [Vote for Monthly Pass!]_2


Huang Wuniang sees it quite clearly.


Even more so—


"In my prediction, with Yan Chuan’s effort in this clash, his heart power is overly exhausted, and he is bound to suffer significant internal damage. At this moment, he is likely barely holding up!"


It was as if her words became reality.


Below.


Hai Character Arena—


...


"Pfft!"


As Xin Huan and the Golden Stick stepped down from the stage, Yan Chuan let out a long sigh of relief. With a ’pfft’ sound, he spat out blood.


Huang Wuniang’s words were proven true, Yan Chuan was exhausted and had suffered significant damage.


"Senior Brother!"


"Old Yan!"


Chen Ze and Wang Zhengyi hurried forward.


Yan Chuan weakly waved his hand: "It’s nothing, just an excessive loss of heart power."


His complexion was pale, his spirit dispirited.


To break the ’Golden Stick’ was not easy for him either.


If it were merely the "Ten Great Sticks" or spear and staff techniques like "Azure Dragon Spear," Yan Chuan, using the ’Gun Breaking Form,’ could have cracked them one by one without difficulty.


But the Golden Stick combined eighteen families of spear and staff techniques, flexible and changing, complementing each other, increasing the difficulty of breaking it by more than eighteen times!


Yan Chuan broke the ’Golden Stick’ in just a few dozen moves, but the mental calculation involved was countless.


Originally, Yan Chuan could have still exchanged blows in dozens of matches and fought three to five rounds, but this time he was exhausted to the point of vomiting blood. It was not only a huge exhaustion of physical strength and energy but also he had sustained significant internal injuries, urgently needing rest and no longer able to fight.


A ’Rainbow Rope,’ two powerful warriors!


A ’Golden Stick,’ eighteen martial arts!


The successive appearance of these two exotic treasures had completely drained Yan Chuan!


Not only Yan Chuan.


Wang Zhengyi, like Yan Chuan, first fought the warriors and then battled the Golden Stick, and was also now drained of energy.


Chen Ze was slightly worse.


Although he did not fight the Yellow Turban Warriors, merely the pressure from the Golden Stick was enough to push him to his limit.


Now he also had no strength left to fight!


Three people!


Three strong ones!


Almost exhausted and spent!


"Next match!"


"What to do?"


Chen Ze smiled bitterly.


This time, this Big Beam, he couldn’t hold it up anymore!


...


"Hai Character Arena!"


"Next round’s opponent—"


...


Ninth day of the Sword Discussion.


During the time from 3 to 5 PM.


Several days passed, and the situation of the twelve arenas atop Chess Stone Peak had changed again. Zhong Hui was recording in detail beneath the arena for Yan Chuan to check at any time—


Hai Character, Yan Chuan!


Xu Character, original·Ding Xiang!—→ Second·Gongyang Yu (Binding Rope)—→ Third·Ding Xiang (Eight Diagrams Dragon Whisker Handkerchief)!


You Character, Situ Fei!


Shen Character, Lu Yuru!—→ Second·Chai Hongshun!—→ Third·Lu Yuru!


Wei Character, original·Ying He!—→ Second·Cai Ru’an (Five-Colored Stone)!—→ Third·Tan Dou!


Wu Character, original·Ying Jifeng!—→ Second·Ban Xianfu!—→ Third·Peng Fannian!—→ Fourth·Cai Ru’an!


Si Character, original·Peng Fannian!—→ Second·Ma Hongniang (White Bone Banner)!—→ Third·Ying Jifeng!—→ Fourth·Zhang Qin!→ Fifth·Ma Hongniang!


Chen Character, original·Hu Fenglan!—→ Second·Liu Xin (Chasing God Blade)!—→ Third·Gongyang Yu!


Mao Character, original·Jing Bao!—→ Second·Gao Changyi!—→ Third·Luo Qi!


Yin Character, original·Tan Dou!—→ Second·Chen Pu (Fire Dragon Flag)!


Chou Character, original·Luo Qi!—→ Second·Tan Dou!—→ Third·Ying He!—→ Fourth·Liu Xin—→ Fifth·Jing Bao!


Zi Character, Wei Lingshan!


...


Among the twelve arenas, so far, still Wei Lingshan’s ’Zi Character,’ Situ Fei’s ’You Character,’ and Yan Chuan’s ’Hai Character’ arenas have never changed owners.


As for the other nine arenas, they’ve basically had two to five changes of ownership, with intense arena battles.


At this moment, the undefeated reputation of the last three ’virgin arenas,’ including the ’Hai Character’ arena, was about to be broken.


Exhausted Yan Chuan, Chen Ze, Wang Zhengyi, their next-round opponent was—


"’Chasing God Blade’ Liu Xin!"


"Three exhausted ones, facing the opponent Liu Xin in her prime wielding the ’Chasing God Blade,’ this battle is hard to defend."


Ding Xiang sighed.


She hoped Yan Chuan could do better, but for this fight, even she didn’t have much hope.


...


"Everyone, still going to fight?"


Liu Xin, holding the ’Chasing God Blade,’ took to the stage. Instead of attacking immediately, she politely greeted Yan Chuan and Wang Zhengyi and the others.


Among them, especially Yan Chuan, Liu Xin showed a lot of courtesy.


Regardless, his swordsmanship in the previous round was enough to earn her respect. Moreover, Ding Xiang and Lu Yuru, the two ’Absolute’ figures, were personally guided by Yan Chuan to their breakthroughs. Peng Fannian and Jing Bao, though they had ’Absolute’ status beforehand, evidently benefited greatly from Yan Chuan’s guidance, which they cherished in their hearts.


In addition, he had two teammates, Wang Zhengyi and Chen Ze, who were close to achieving ’Absolute’ status as well, both carefully nurtured by Yan Chuan.


Innate Master!


Absolute Master!


Facing a person like Yan Chuan, Liu Xin reckoned even with the ’Chasing God Blade,’ she might not be able to take him down within two hours, and if comparing bare martial arts skills without such treasures, she might lag behind Yan Chuan.


Facing other experts, even those stronger ’Absolute’ ones, Liu Xin felt no inferiority.


But towards Yan Chuan!


Liu Xin held respect!


Of course.


Respect is respect, but for the easily attainable arena master position, Liu Xin wouldn’t decline.


She greeted Yan Chuan and the others, hoping to seize the ’Hai Character’ arena without conflict.


And on the stage.


On the other side.


Yan Chuan and Wang Zhengyi exchanged a glance, secretly communicating—


"My treasure is amazing!"


"Mine too!"


"My treasure couldn’t be broken even by figures like Wei Lingshan and Ban Xianfu with their ’Absolute’ statuses, or by third-rank treasures like the ’Chasing God Blade,’ ’Fire Dragon Flag’!"


"Mine too!"


"My treasure is unsolvable!"


"Mine too!"


"My treasure can defend the arena for seven days and nights!"


"Mine—"


Yan Chuan paused this time, and smiled at Wang Zhengyi, saying: "Mine is more."


"..."


Wang Zhengyi was stunned.


He thought his treasure, acquired by a chance encounter, was one of a kind, especially suited for such an event as the ’Cang Mountain Sword Discussion,’ thinking it could stabilize the situation until the end.


But unexpectedly, Yan Chuan also possessed a treasure, not inferior to his.


The two exchanged privately, discussing the specific usage and power of their treasures.


"Indeed, yours is better!"


Wang Zhengyi admitted, his was slightly inferior.


And seeing as the three were exhausted, evidently his treasure was more suitable here.


"Fine!"


"Then let’s use mine!"


Wang Zhengyi was also decisive. He nodded to Yan Chuan and cupped his fists to Liu Xin across the way, loudly saying: "Miss Liu, we won’t fight this match."


"Thus—"


Liu Xin was delighted, thinking she could easily claim the ’Hai Character’ arena.


But little did she expect, just as Wang Zhengyi finished speaking, he raised his hand to cast a dazzling light, accompanied by wind and sand. Liu Xin looked carefully and saw that in the center of the arena, a wooden sign had mysteriously appeared hanging, with the words—


"No Battle?"


Liu Xin was bewildered.


Outside the ’Hai Character’ arena, seeing Wang Zhengyi’s actions, everyone thought there would be some new skill displayed, but who would have thought Wang Zhengyi announced a ’No Battle Sign.’


For a moment.


Laughter erupted from all around.


"No Battle?"


"Do they really think it’s two armies confronting each other?"


"Haha! Didn’t expect Wang Zhengyi, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, to be so amusing!"


"Stop clowning around!"


"Get off the stage already!"


Laughter rang out, everyone thinking Wang Zhengyi was joking.


Why wasn’t it!


Cang Mountain Sword Discussion, arena duels, what’s the point of a ’No Battle Sign’?


Nobody took it seriously.


Including initially Liu Xin.


"Brother Wang, this No Battle Sign—" Liu Xin was puzzled, thinking could this possibly be a powerful treasure? But then she thought, what kind of treasure could it be, No Battle? How would it prevent battle?


"Could it be that if I swing my blade, heavenly lightning would strike me down?"


"But if I don’t fight, how can this treasure’s authenticity be tested?"


Liu Xin frowned.


She seemed to predict Wang Zhengyi’s strategy ahead of time.


However.


It wasn’t.


"Old Yan, Brother Chen, rest easy, do not mind the others." Wang Zhengyi hung the ’No Battle Sign,’ then first called to Yan Chuan and Chen Ze to rest and recuperate, then smiled at Liu Xin, saying: "Once my ’No Battle Sign’ is hung, no battle will arise. Even if you shout abuse, we will not fight."


With that, Wang Zhengyi also sat down, carefully tending to his health.
