The Tianyun Kingdom attaches great importance to martial arts, and the military is no exception. Every three years, a grand competition will be held to select excellent talents to take important positions in the military, which can also boost the atmosphere of martial arts.

  Participants in the Grand Comparison must be under 30 years old, with a cultivation base of three realms or higher. Each time the Grand Comparison is held, thousands of people participate, and after layers of selection and three rounds of competition, the top fifty are finally ranked.

  It is now the final third round of competition, and after rounds of elimination, only fifty contestants are left. These fifty people will determine the final ranking through a trial.

  This is the final battle, all the contestants have made their best efforts, and the whole martial arts arena is fighting like a raging fire.

  However, the initial matches did not attract much attention from the military high-level officials. The people on the field were either both mediocre or had a huge gap in strength. It wasnt until the twentieth match that peoples spirits were shaken, including Qin Xiao, who was very concerned about the outcome of this match.

  This match was between two people, one of whom was the son of a general, twenty-nine years old, with a cultivation that had reached the peak of Bone Forging. In these years, this person had repeatedly made great achievements in battle, and his strength was extremely powerful. Moreover, he had two precious artifacts on him, a heavy sword and a suit of armor. The heavy sword even had an inscription from Master Engraver, and its combat power was not to be underestimated.

  On the other hand, the opponent of the game is a warrior from a civilian background, named Tie Feng. This persons talent is not outstanding, but his hard work and dedication are astonishing. He dares to fight and kill on the battlefield, and now he has accumulated more military achievements than the generals son. Now, Tie Feng is also at the peak of refining his bones.

  Two warriors at this age have such attainments, its already very rare, especially since theyve all been through the baptism of blood on the battlefield. The possibility of them entering the Condensation Period in the future is very high, and they will absolutely be pillars of the military.

  When the judge announced the two players, a general in silver armor showed a relieved smile, and it was his son who was going to play.

  "Haha, Old Li, your son has given you a boost this time." Qin Xiao said with a smile, this Silver Armor General was his old subordinate.

  "The great general is disappointed in me, I, his son, have been raised in a medicine jar since childhood, and now Im on the same level as an ordinary civilian child, its really not worthy of our family. Although General Silver Armor says so with his mouth, the smile on his face still cant be hidden, obviously he is very satisfied with this son."

  "Hmm, Ironfists current achievement is indeed impressive, but hell have a tough time winning this battle today."

  Qin Xiao said this because of the gap between their cultivation methods and treasured instruments.

  The son of General Silver Armor has two precious artifacts that have been inscribed by the Master of Inscriptions, but Iron Peak is a commoner and cant possibly get his hands on such treasures.

  This battle seems unfair, but the martial arts of Tianyun Country have always been like this. Treasures are considered part of a warriors strength, and on the battlefield, if youre killed by an enemy due to a disparity in treasures, can you go argue that its not fair?

  It is impossible for the army to provide each warrior with a precious device, so the warriors precious device must be prepared by himself. At this time, family background becomes an important part of the warriors own strength, and it is a very important part.

  When Tie Feng took the stage and drew out the war knife from behind his back, Qin Xiao softly exclaimed, "Wood Yi, sir, doesnt the war knife in Tie Fengs hand seem to be a treasured artifact as well?"

  Muyi stroked his white beard and nodded: "Its indeed a treasure, but its a defective one."

  "Oh, a defective product?" Mu Yi said after he finished speaking, Qin Xiao also discovered that the war knife was missing a corner, it was indeed a defective product.

  Mu Yi said, "The power of a damaged precious artifact is naturally much weaker than that of an intact one. Moreover, Tie Feng only has one piece, while Li Qi has two. Although their cultivation levels are similar, the technique used by Tie Feng is inferior to that of Li Qi. In this battle, Tie Feng will still lose."

  Qin Xiao said, "Although its a loss, but Iron Peak was able to get his hands on a damaged treasure is not easy either. If he can hold out for twenty moves in this battle, he can be selected into the Military Martial Hall for focused cultivation. Xing Xuan, take a good look at this battle, youre about to enter the fifth stage of physical training too. Although youre practicing the female physical training method, all methods are similar, taking a close look at their battle will be helpful."

  Qin Xiaos last words were spoken to Qin Xingxuan, who nodded obediently and said, "Yes, Grandpa."

  As the judges voice fell, the battle began. The warrior named Li Qi launched a fierce attack from the start, wanting to end the battle as soon as possible. After all, he had the advantage of having the precious artifact, and if he couldnt take down his opponent quickly, it would be too embarrassing.

  He brought out the Li familys ancestral ultimate skill, Wuyue Heavy Sword. This swordsmanship was like a mountain collapse, with an aura that was vast and boundless. Generally, those with lower cultivation would be directly crushed by the aura, and even those with good cultivation would find it difficult to withstand such an overwhelming attack, often being crushed by the heavy assault.

  Li Qis heavy sword swept through the air, whipping up a fierce gust of wind in the martial arena. This treasured sword weighed 520 catties and was perfectly suited for executing the Five Mountains Heavy Sword technique. If his opponents weapon wasnt of high quality, it would shatter into pieces with just one touch!

  Iron Peak gazed at Li Qis incoming sword strike, his face more solemn than ever before. He naturally knew the ferocity of Li Qis move. His waist sank, his feet stomped into a horse stance, and his hands grasped his battered war knife. The true yuan in his body surged like a flood, pouring into the war knife in his hand!

  Facing Li Qis heavy sword, he must go all out to meet the enemy!

  However, at the moment when the true yuan poured into the war knife, Tie Fengs heart was slightly stunned. Hmm? The flow of true yuan seems... much smoother than before!

  Li Qi had obtained this war knife for several months, and before that, he had infused it with true yuan. The feeling was like pouring water into a blocked ditch, the war knife could only absorb very little true yuan, and even wasted a lot of it. But this time, the war knife seemed to be like a whirlpool, absorbing as much true yuan as there was, absorbing smoothly without any stagnation!

  How did this happen?

  Tie Feng didnt have time to think carefully, Li Qis heavy sword was right in front of him, he let out a loud roar and slashed out with his knife!

  He used the military road goods of the lower-grade martial arts, Thousand Army Kill, against Li Qis family heirloom upper-grade martial arts, Wuyue Heavy Sword. As their blades clashed, a deafening "Boom!" shook the air, and the shockwave from the collision of True Yuan exploded outward. The green stone pavement of the arena shattered in an instant, sending Li Qi flying back three to four zhang, while Tie Feng stumbled backward over a dozen steps!

  The two sides are evenly matched!

  Tie Feng took a deep breath, staring at the heavy sword in his hand with an incredulous expression. Before this, he had never fought against Li Qi, only hearing about his great name. Just now, after exchanging one move, he finally understood how terrifying Li Qi was. If it were before, he might have suffered some light injuries, but just now, he miraculously blocked that sword!

  He was very clear that it wasnt his own strength that had increased, but rather this war knife had suddenly undergone some kind of mutation... Could it be the inscription symbol from yesterday?

  Tie Feng was completely ignorant of the art of inscription, only knowing that it could enhance the power of a treasure. In his opinion, that probably meant increasing the sharpness of swords and knives. After inscribing yesterday, he chopped down a few trees with his war knife, but didnt feel much sharper. He had originally been disappointed in his heart, never thinking that this inscription technique could improve his war knifes utilization of true yuan!

  Isnt that just an apprentice-level inscription? How can it be so powerful? Iron Peak didnt understand the price of inscriptions, but he absolutely knew in his heart that such a strong effect would definitely not be something that could be bought for just one hundred taels of gold!

  Just now a head-on collision, Li Qi was also badly hurt. He was shocked that his opponent could block his heavy blow and not fall behind at all. This opponent is terrible!

  "Not bad!" Qin Xiao praised without hesitation, "With a broken treasure and ordinary kung fu, Iron Peak managed to block Li Qis Five Mountains Heavy Sword. Hes not bad at all, Mr. Mu Yi, what do you think?"

  Mù Yì stroked his white beard, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. Although in terms of actual strength he was not much different from Qín Xiāo, he was a Míng Wén Shī (a master of ancient artifacts), and his understanding of precious artifacts far surpassed that of Qín Xiāo. In the brief moment just now when they clashed, he had seen clearly that the broken artifact in Tiě Fēngs hand was absolutely no worse than Lǐ Qís heavy sword. This was because the light emitted by the infusion of true yuan made ones heart palpitate!

  How could this be? The grade of those damaged precious artifacts doesnt seem high either. Could it be the Inscription Technique?
