Chapter Sixteen: Ten Character Slaughter

  Attribute Qi, originally a privilege of the Great Swordsmen, but some swordsmen who directly cultivate attribute Qi techniques can also possess it. However, swordsmen who cultivate attribute Qi are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. This is not only because attribute Qi techniques are scarce, but also because the cultivator's attributes are unclear, as a person's body may contain more than one attribute.

  In this case, cultivating attribute Dou Qi is equivalent to cutting off one's own future prospects. Only by advancing from a high-level swordsman to a great swordsman can the Dou Qi in the body be transformed based on physical attributes. At that time, even if you possess multiple attributes, you can choose one to transform, and the remaining attributes can be refined.

  So it was that when Lin Wu's attribute Dou Qi appeared, Joseph would have been shocked beyond measure. However, at this moment, it wasn't the time for Joseph to be shocked, because Lin Wu's attack had already arrived in an instant.

  Lin Wu, who had cultivated the Gale Slash, would absolutely not be inferior to Joseph, a high-level swordsman, in terms of speed.

  "Linked thrust!"

  As he approached Joseph, Lin Wu suddenly drew out the long sword in his hand.

  Facing Lin Wu's straight thrusting long sword, Joseph suddenly had a feeling of being pierced, and his eyes lost their distraction. Although he could become the captain of the Rose family's guard, it was also due to his true ability.

  Facing Lin Wu's strange thrust, Joseph continuously swung out several swords, setting up a sword net in front of him. Joseph was confident that under the great swordsmen, no one could penetrate this sword net and attack him.

  But in fact, Lin Wu saw this airtight sword net and had to withdraw his attack. If Lin Wu's strength could reach that of a high-level swordsman, he could have relied on the powerful attribute of Dou Qi to directly break through this sword net. However, Lin Wu, who was only an elementary swordsman now, couldn't do it yet.

  However, this also strengthened Lin Wu's confidence in practicing the skill of consecutive thrusts to the top level. At that time, Lin Wu wanted to see if a 100% hit rate of consecutive thrusts could break through this impenetrable sword net.

  "A single slash."

  Although the consecutive thrusts were ineffective, Lin Wu's footsteps made a mistake and his body turned around Joseph, coming to his back, the first slash of the three-section slash was swung out.

  "Hmm." Joseph was taken aback by Lin Wu's sudden disappearance from in front of him, and immediately thought to himself, "Not good."

  At this time, Joseph couldn't care about anything else. The thick white Dou Qi of the pinnacle high-level swordsman burst forth, and the large sword in his hand brought a long white light to slash towards his back.

  Ding!!

  A sword cry rang out, Lin Wu's long sword and Joseph's great sword collided fiercely. However, the power contained in Joseph's fighting spirit sent Lin Wu flying back several meters.

  Looking at his somewhat numb hands, Lin Wu smiled bitterly in his heart. The gap between their Dou Qi was not so easily bridged.

  If it weren't for Lin Wu's quick reaction in seeing Joseph's explosive aura, changing his Three Segment Slash to a block, which withstood 15% of the force, Lin Wu's long sword might have been knocked out of his hand.

  At this moment, Wen Guan's family and the other 8 applicants were all looking at Lin Wu with shocked faces. Not only did he cultivate the attribute of Dou Qi, but he also forced the high-level swordsman, Joseph, to use his full strength with the power of a primary swordsman. This point made the 8 applicants on the scene feel somewhat unbelievable.

  "What an impressive martial skill." Wen Guan's family looked at Lin Wu and said in a low voice.

  "Ah..." He let out a deep breath, Lin Wu disregarding his still somewhat numb hands, said: "It's not over yet."

  Saying that, Lin Wu charged at Joseph again. Seeing Lin Wu's serious expression, the competitive spirit in Joseph's heart also surged violently. Being forced to use his full strength by a novice swordsman was absolutely one of the greatest shames of Joseph's life. "Fine, let's see what you're capable of!" Joseph said, holding his great sword and staring at Lin Wu who was rushing towards him.

  The distance between the two was only about a dozen meters, and under Lin Wu's full-force charge, he almost instantly approached Joseph. Faced with a high-level peak swordsman, Lin Wu knew that winning would be very difficult, to say the least, the probability was slim.

  However, Lin Wu's face suddenly revealed a faint smile.

  Seeing the smile at the corner of Lin Wu's mouth, Joseph felt a bad premonition in his heart for some reason, but he couldn't think of what threat this primary swordsman could pose to himself, even if he had cultivated attribute Dou Qi.

  Just as Joseph was in a state of uncertainty, the long sword in Lin Wu's hand suddenly changed, and with a horizontal slash, a faint cyan sword aura emerged from the sword, leaving a cyan sword mark on the front. When Joseph saw the cyan sword mark, his face suddenly changed, and there was even some terror in his expression, his aura overflowing, a terrifying term appearing in his mind.

  But Lin Wu did not stop his attack with Joseph's change in expression, and as he swung out horizontally and formed a sword mark, Lin Wu's long sword suddenly turned sharply, and the long sword instantly rose from the center of that sword mark.

  "Cross Slash!!"

  A blue cross-shaped aura appeared in front of Lin Wu.

  Facing this cyan-colored cross slash, Joseph suddenly let out a loud shout, and the dense white Dou Qi made Joseph's body emit a dazzling light, but no matter how brilliant the white light was, it couldn't cover up that one cyan-colored cross.

  "Mountain Splitting Slash!!" Joseph concentrated all his aura, raised the large sword in his hand and swung it down fiercely.

  BOOM!!

  The two met, and a fierce explosion occurred instantly. A strong gust of wind swept the surroundings, and the rose petals that were everywhere were blown up in the gusts of wind, sending countless petals flying.

  The strong wind dispersed, countless rose petals floated down from the sky, Lin Wu stood quietly in the arena, with the reflection of those countless flower petals, like a lonely and unparalleled swordsman.

  On the other hand, the slightly disheveled Joseph even more brought out the aura of Lin Wu's peerless swordsmanship.

  At that moment, the 8 candidates and the literary manager looked at Lin Wu with a inexplicable tremble in their hearts. That aura was unmistakable - it was an aura of loneliness, as if he had no attachment to the world.

  However, in an instant, that breath of air had vanished into thin air.

  Loneliness, that's right, the aura comes from that young man, the young man with ghost hands was destined to be lonely since birth, the world has no nostalgia for him, only endless hatred.

  Lin Wu, who had now merged with his youthful memories, had unknowingly released that aura just a moment ago.

  "Cough, cough!!" The quiet scene was interrupted by a sudden cough. Joseph clutched at his chest, earlier he had managed to block the blue cross with all his might, but the explosive impact still left him with some minor injuries.

  As soon as Joseph coughed, everyone in the scene looked at Lin Wu with eyes like looking at a monster. A primary swordsman actually injured a high-level peak swordsman.

  But that's not the point, what's most important is what they just saw, releasing aura externally, this is something only a Sword Master level expert can do, and yet an initial swordsmen was able to release an attack at the Sword Master level, this is somewhat hard to accept.

  But a vivid example is right in front of us, this young man who looks like he's only around 15 years old has actually done it.
