Chapter 1515 - North Tip Saber
Saying nothing, Tang Wulin nodded at his opponent. He walked toward the outside while he began recollecting in his mind about the opponent’s abilities revealed in his information.
The opponent was an eight-ringed Soul Douluo that came from the military. He was a talent specially cultivated by the armed forces.
The military possessed powerful abilities so of course it had a cultivation base that belonged to itself. Across the entire Federation, there were countless military officers, so naturally, there was no lack of outstanding talent. Every military region would select the particularly exceptional to be part of its cultivation program. The Blood God Army had its Blood God Battalion, and the other army corps had their own as well.
Gale Saber Demon Sima Jinchi was cultivated by the Southern Army Corps.
Tang Wulin’s opponent in the second round of the round-robin came from the Northern Army Corps. More accurately, he came from the Northsea Fleet. According to his information, he was a senior colonel that was just one step away from becoming a general. He was serving under the jurisdiction of the finest North Tip Special Warfare Unit of the Northsea Fleet. He was the captain of the North Tip Special Warfare Unit. He had gone through great deal of actual combat and he was especially skilled in operating mecha.
The biggest difference between a soldier and an ordinary soul master was that a soldier had real experience on the battlefield. Moreover, the soldier was more skilled in fighting through a variety of scenarios and delivering that one fatal strike.
It was especially obvious in a soldier of his rank. He was certainly someone the military was willing to devote many resources to. The Shrek Seven Monsters had all enjoyed such advantages during their time in the military.
This captain of the North Tip Special Warfare Unit was named Mu Tian. It was quite a simple and plain name.
Both of them left the rest area in turn. The sound-proofing in the break room was done very well, so they were suddenly struck by the wave of noise as soon as they left.
The round before had lasted for a very long time, which showed that the competition was very exciting. The audience members were feeling quite elated on this day.
“Next, the two contestants from group number three that are about to participate in today’s competition are the captain of the North Tip Special Warfare Unit of Northsea Fleet, Mu Tian and also Yu Longyue from the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan.
“In the first round, they were both winners and they have already acquired the points of a victory. Today’s round will be very important in determining the victor and the loser. This round will determine who will be the final victor and who is capable of rising above the rest. Moreover, we can find out who will dominate the next powerful competitor as well.”
The commentator was still Ai Fei just as before. He had a very pleasant voice that sounded soothing to the ears.
Mu Tian and Tang Wulin ascended to the stage in succession. Mu Tian took the initiative to walk toward the other side of the competition stage and pulled away the distance between himself and Tang Wulin.
Ai Fei continued doing his job to the best of his ability.
“There’s nothing more to be said about His Excellency Yu Longyue’s performance in the previous round of the competition. He managed to defeat the opponent despite not being in good physical condition and left rapidly after the match. On the other hand, his opponent at the time, Li Weisi, also refused to be interviewed. As a result, we have no clue as to what happened between them during the fight. However, Captain Mu Tian from the North Tip Special Warfare Unit had an extremely exceptional performance in the previous round. He relied on the combat skill exclusive to the North Tip Special Warfare Unit to forcefully restrain his opponent. Even now, I still feel like I can pick up the bloody stench of his saber tip from that battle. It’s definitely a weapon that can only be possessed by an experienced soldier. Today, we are about to witness how His Excellency Yu Longyue will welcome the challenge from Captain Mu Tian.”
Tang Wulin’s cultivation base was higher in comparison. Naturally, Mu Tian, with his lower cultivation base, was seen as the challenger.
Due to Tang Wulin’s intentional display of Yu Longyue’s arrogance earlier, he had not managed to observe his opponent closely. At this point, he could see his opponent’s condition in a clearer manner as they stood on opposite sides of the competition stage.
Mu Tian was tall and burly, but the definition of his musculature was not especially exaggerated. He stood upright akin to a javelin, his military heritage on display. Other than that, there was nothing special about him, but it was precisely the simplicity of this opponent that made Tang Wulin more vigilant.
Whether it was Ao Wuchang or Li Weisi, in Tang Wulin’s eyes, they could only be described as ‘having some distinguishing features’. Their Summoning Door and crystal ball illusion skills were rather impressive martial souls, but they were trivial compared to Tang Wulin’s own.
Mu Tian was different. His martial soul seemed to be a saber. Many soldiers were in possession of martial souls that appeared to be simple like this. However, this man was completely different. He was not adorned by magnificent-looking skills, but he was clearly going to be harder to finish off than the previous opponents.
Tang Wulin would need to be more respectful when fighting against an opponent like this.
“Five, four, three, two, one, begin the competition!”
My Tian advanced as soon as the match began. He dashed straight toward Tang Wulin like lightning. His strides were neither too large nor too small. He walked with an average gait, but his speed was unusually swift. Moreover, the sharp energy emitted from his body was rising continuously as he advanced forward.
A saber tip bored out from the top of his head. A four-foot-long saber was suspended in the air above his head. The saber tip was piercingly cold and bitter. The snow white saber tip was constantly accumulating as he advanced. It did not grow larger but the saber was glowing brighter and brighter on its own. When Mu Tian dashed past half of the distance between them, the saber had already turned into dazzling incandescence color completely.
Mu Tian shouted and raised his hands abruptly, grabbing the hilt of the saber above his head. His body moved with the saber as he fused with it.
To Tang Wulin, it was as if the opponent had transformed into a sharp edge. In a flash, that edge was upon him. The saber tip flickered with a dazzling radiance while the area by its sides was warped. That saber tip came down in a split second while Mu Tian descended from the sky with his essence, energy and spirit brought to their peak.
It was the North Tip!
After he had joined the special warfare unit, Mu Tian changed the name of his saber to this. Though he had much natural talent, he had reached this point because of his hard work.
He had a moniker in the Northsea Fleet. He was called the Ten Thousand Saber King.
The name did not refer to his possession of ten thousand sabers but to the fact that he struck the sea ten thousand times with his saber on a daily basis. He was utterly committed to launching ten thousand saber strikes.
One could see his that he had been arduous in his cultivation.
No matter how tempestuous the waves were, he would still cut open the sea with a strike of his saber.
His saber tip was trained under such circumstances. He went from having no saber tip back in the beginning until there was one foot, two feet, three feet, ten feet, twenty feet, and finally thirty feet. At that point, the tip could be retracted back into the saber itself once again. He spent thirteen years undergoing this process.
The move was considered successfully cultivated after his saber tip could be completely fused back into the saber. He named this move ‘the Two Worlds Divider’!
Two worlds were divided with one saber into two opposing principles of Yin and Yang!
Tang Wulin chose not to continue standing on the same spot this time. He leaped up and dashed toward Mu Tian’s North Tip.
The North Tip Saber was not equipped with a sharp edge, but its bitterly cold saber energy had already affected the entire competition stage. Even under such circumstances, Tang Wulin was still capable of dashing toward the invisible sharp saber energy, which was enough to make Mu Tian’s expression turn grim.
However, Mu Tian had been through many battles in the past, and he was supremely confident. He would never deviate from his original plan just because of the opponent.
The spectators watched as both of them approached one another.
“Everyone please pay attention to the space in front of the North Tip Saber,” called out the commentator Ai Fei.
The audience fixed their gaze upon the scene. As expected, it was as if all the light before the North Tip Saber had been absorbed. A dash of black appeared at the front of the saber. It seemed as if the darkness was accumulating bit by bit as he dashed forward.
Then, the crowd saw Tang Wulin’s reaction. He raised his right hand and reached out for the saber’s blade. His hand had already turned blue-purple.
“Clang!”
Was he trying to use his palm to grab the opponent’s martial soul North Tip Saber?
The commentator Ai Fei was slightly dumbfounded after witnessing the scene. He was a soul master too. Although he was not a powerful one, he had gone through numerous case studies of battles before. It was also for this reason that he was invited to be the commentator of this event. It was truly a rare sight to see someone who could use his bare hands to directly grab the opponent’s weapon as his first move. Moreover, the North Tip Saber was reputed to be the divider of two worlds. The extent of its sharpness was absolutely terrifying! Could it be grabbed by one’s bare hands? Was he trying to lose his hand?
