are about the sales figures, but this was the first time in his life, from childhood to adulthood, that he had come last."Sister, can you tell me what you've been doing this quarter"Although Fokang Ph..."I'm coming!"

Qu Changhe strode forward, brimming with confidence.

The Gu Jian Gate originally took swordsmanship as its foundation. In terms of kendo mastery, it was far superior to other sects.

Moreover, he was bestowed with the Seven-Star Talent from a young age and possessed unique skills in swordsmanship. It was precisely because of this that he gained the affection of the Grand Elder.

Although his cultivation was at the early stage of Da Yi Xian, he believed that his swordsmanship skills were unrivaled among his peers.

Taking steps before the Jian Ling Stone, a golden long sword appeared in his palm.

He didn't rush to attack, but instead slowly closed his eyes, adjusting his fairy essence, in order to strike with the strongest sword at its best state.

No matter what, I can't afford to lose this time. I must crush Ye Bufan and obliterate every opponent in my path to claim the First Sword Immortal's legacy.

Time ticked by, every second an eternity. As impatience grew among the crowd, he suddenly roared, his golden sword slashing down with ferocious force towards the sword spirit stone before him.

Blades flashed, sword qi danced wildly, this all-out strike was truly astonishing!

"What a powerful sword intent!"

With a loud shout from Qu Shang, the others also cheered.

I have to say, at his age and with his cultivation level, Qu Changhe's swordsmanship is truly impressive.

But at this moment he couldn't care about the excitement in his heart, and hurriedly looked up at the Sword Spirit Stone.

This stone is truly amazing. If it were an ordinary stone, this sword would have been enough to cleave mountains and fill seas, but it remains completely unharmed, not even a single mark left behind.

As the sword glow slowly dissipated, the Spirit Sword Stone suddenly burst forth with brilliant light. Not only was it dazzlingly bright, but it also flashed four times in succession.

"So strong, such powerful sword intent, it even lit up four rays of light..."

"As expected of a disciple from the ancient sword sect, this sword intent is unmatched by anyone…"

"It's over, it seems like the inheritance of the First Sword Immortal this time is destined not to be mine..."

Seeing this result, the audience buzzed with discussion. Some were excited, some envious, and some expressed regret.

Qu Changhe burst into a hearty laugh, obviously very satisfied with the result. After all, just now that Great Ethereal Immortal had swung his sword and there hadn't been the slightest movement.

Then he proudly stood beside them, watching the others' performance.

The original twelve people who met the requirements, one by one, stepped forward to draw their swords against the Spirit Sword Stone.

These people's cultivation levels were not low, the weakest being at the Golden Immortal realm, but the results were not ideal. Only two people managed to faintly illuminate a ray of light, while the rest yielded nothing.

There's no way around it, the sword is called the ancestor of a hundred weapons. To achieve a certain level of mastery, one needs both talent and diligence, as well as a good master to guide them along the way.

These people before me obviously don't have that much qualification, they are far inferior compared to Qu Changhe.

"Senior sister, go and see how the results are."

Ye Bufan did not rush to make a move, but instead let Shen Qiyun take the lead.

"Great!"

Shen Qiyun glared murderously at Qu Changhe, then strode to the Jian Ling Stone with her sword drawn.

She also desperately wants to obtain the inheritance of the First Sword Immortal. If she succeeds, her entire family's revenge will be complete, and there may even be a chance to destroy the Ancient Sword Gate.

Take a deep breath, adjust your state to the best, and then the sword in your hand slashes out suddenly.

The sword glow landed on the Sword Spirit Stone, instantly bursting forth with a dazzling light, one, two, three...

Shen Qiyun stared intently at the stone before her, hoping for a miracle to occur, at least enough to surpass Qu Changhe.

The result, however, disappointed her. The sword spirit stone only flashed three times and then slowly dissipated, returning to its original form.

She has a fire attribute physique and her talent in the swordsmanship path is not as good as Qu Changhe's.

The facts are the same. Shen Qiyun's talent wasn't particularly outstanding. The reason she has achieved what she has today is entirely due to the hatred in her heart, fueling her relentless training day and night.

Even so, if he hadn't met Ye Bufan, he probably wouldn't have been able to break through the peak of the Xuanxian realm.

"Hahaha, aren't you unconvinced"

"Talent like this, it's useless to rely on hatred and hard work alone. Even if you hate me to death, you'll still never be as gifted as I am!"

Originally, when Shen Qiyue made her move, Qu Changhe was still a little unsure. But seeing the result, he couldn't help but burst into laughter with delight.

In his eyes, as long as he subdued this woman, he would have secured his position at the top.

As for Ye Bufan, he didn't even consider it. Swordsmanship mastery is something that takes time to cultivate.

A 23-year-old young man, even if he learned swordsmanship from birth, how much could he possibly understand To compare his sword intent with himself is simply a joke.

Shen Qiyun clenched her fists, her eyes blazing with anger, but she knew now was not the time to strike.

Otherwise, I'm afraid before the other party could even make a move, they would have already been killed by Jun Wuming.

"Hate me It's useless, hatred can't replace talent. No matter how angry or hateful you are towards me, it still won't compare to my abilities, hahaha..."

Qu Changhe became more and more pleased with himself. After a burst of laughter, he looked at Ye Bufan again, “Boy, do you admit defeat If you don't admit defeat, come and try!”

He said this to humiliate the other party, and he didn't think Ye Bufan could have such deep swordsmanship.

"Great!"

Ye Bufan smiled faintly, stretched out his hand and summoned it, directly grabbing a bamboo branch from outside the hall.

He was very clear about the current situation. Qu Shang's reluctance to act was entirely due to Jun Ming's imposing authority.

In this situation, it's better to keep as many hidden cards as possible, so he didn't use Dark Moon Silent and wanted to avoid revealing his true strength.

Moreover, swordsmanship is about intent, not about lethality. It has little to do with swords anymore; a simple bamboo twig would suffice.

He thought this way in his heart, but others didn't understand what was going on.

Seeing this young man actually walk up with a bamboo stick, everyone thought he was crazy.

"What is this guy trying to do Is he crazy"

"It's a pity this talent, a 23-year-old Golden Immortal is actually a fool..."

Everyone shook their heads and sighed. They had originally thought that Ye Bufan would be able to surpass Qu Changhe, but now it seemed like a complete fantasy.

But thinking about it, it's understandable. He comes from the Gujian Sect and is the grandson of the Great Elder. He has enjoyed endless resources and cultivated the most advanced techniques since he was a child. It's incredibly difficult to surpass him.

"Brother-in-law, you can do it!"

Yuhuafei excitedly waved her small fists, cheering for Yefan.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Ye Bufan fiddled with the bamboo strips in his hand and slowly walked towards the Jianling Stone.

A faint smile played on his lips, lacking the long-held tension of Qu Changhe or the ferocity of Shen Qirun.

With just a gentle flick of his wrist, he casually swung the bamboo pole forward.

This wasn't like drawing a sword at all, it was more like a child's game. There was no earth-shattering momentum, no thunderous roar, it was simply silent and subtle.

Just as everyone shook their heads and cast disdainful glances, the Jianling stone suddenly blazed with a brilliant light.

Everything came on too suddenly, too violently. The light was countless times stronger than before, and one, two, three... in the end, a full seven beams blazed forth!

"Uh..."

Everyone present was utterly dumbfounded. They couldn't even care about the dazzling light, their eyes wide with shock, as if they had seen a ghost.

They clearly remembered what Jun Wuming had just said. It was the highest level of talent in Jianling Stone, possessing seven rays of light.

This young man actually did it, and all he used was a single bamboo stick.ll go easy on you.""My lord, please be careful..."Before Sophie could finish her sentence, Guardiola spoke again: “As I said, I will show mercy.”As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and...
