Chapter 130: Are You a Swordsman?
Geng Peng’s mind wasn’t in the fight as he blocked a freshman’s attack.
The freshman had a stable spiritual power, having entered Qi Refining Realm for a good few months now. It was rare to see him handling his clan’s inherited sword art quite well. Geng Peng found the child’s talent with the sword adequate.
[He must’ve done his homework.] The disciple noticed Geng Peng wasn’t himself and pushed his advantage with ferocity, each blow targeting vitals. Despite the enthusiasm, Geng Peng made it insufferably easy to thwart his momentum with a gentle finger tap on the sword fuller.
Geng Peng’s interest waned. The Immortal Institute opened the Arts Archive’s first floor in September to address the more exceptional seeds. Based on past years’ experience, the average Immortal Institute disciple reached mid Qi Refining Realm in December, which offered a meager hope of passing the challenge.
[This child’s too conceited.] This year saw plenty of geniuses, with three freshmen having earned their grand art choice already. But as Senior Brother Su said, Wang Qi avoided the challenge on purpose, despite having the standard to become the fourth candidate.
Geng Peng frowned at the mere thought of him.
“His appearance proves he has the skills to defeat you within these rules,” Su Junyu said four days ago.
Geng Peng was unable to accept it, but as Su Junyu trained in the White Marsh Algorithm, he couldn’t be too wrong, though not completely right either. It only worsened Geng Peng’s mood.
[Why is it always that prick…] This annoyance mixed with the indignation regarding Li Ziye’s ending, simmering in his mind.
