Chapter 747: Chapter 709: A Sword Edge Pressed Against His Nape
In the center of the arena, the techniques of these "strong ones" were displayed.
The sound of weapons clashing was deafening.
The hard ground was slashed with one ravine after another.
The onlookers around couldn’t help but marvel at the combat of these powerhouses.
In this world, the matter of cultivation is not something ordinary people can engage with.
Seeing these people’s flashy techniques and power far exceeding common people, it’s natural to be astonished.
But for Shen Han, they fell short by far.
Using the Power of Laws from the Little Pool Immortal, Shen Han could wield the strength of the Fifth Grade Fruit Realm.
Compared to these people in front, his strength had directly leapt nearly two great realms.
However, in the midst of their moves, these people faintly wielded a trace of their own Power of Laws.
They only had Sixth Grade strength, yet they had a profound understanding of the Law.
As the saying goes, "A place molds its inhabitants," here people must comprehend the Law before cultivating.
Without grasping the Power of Laws, there isn’t even a stepping stone for cultivation.
While observing, a slice of saber energy flew over.
Straight towards the flag held by Shen Han.
Beside him, Mo Wanshui, who had been lying on the ground, took action.
With a wave of his hand, a barrier forged of saber energy was unveiled.
The saber energy collided, and the barrier summoned by Mo Wanshui directly devoured the sneak attack.
Seeing this, the people of Cangye Country patted their chests in relief.
Just a little more, and the competition would have ended right there.
However, through this scene, people gained even more appreciation for Mo Wanshui’s strength.
Prince Cheng sighed in relief.
"It’s fortunate, fortunate that we have invited Venerable Mo.
With the Venerable here, our flag won’t fall!"
Though difficult to invite, and with a remarkably quirky temperament, inviting Mo Wanshui truly proved valuable.
The people from the other three countries also frowned when they saw this.
With Mo Wanshui guarding the flag, sneaking attacks were virtually impossible.
"With an unsettled mind and wandering eyes, a person like you is not suited for cultivation.
No matter how much you look, it’s of no use to you."
Having repelled the saber energy, Mo Wanshui turned his gaze back to Shen Han.
In a seasoned tone, he offered Shen Han advice.
The advice was direct, suggesting Shen Han lacked talent and was entirely unsuited for cultivation.
"Manure is manure, no matter how lucky it is, it remains manure, exuding a stench.
Cultivation Method, a destiny bestowed by the heavens.
It’s hard for even people to win the favor of the heavens, let alone a piece of manure.
So my advice is thus, if you must bash your head bloody on the path of cultivation, it’s up to you."
Mo Wanshui lifted his long saber as he continued to speak in a weathered voice.
He spoke as if offering Shen Han insights.
Shen Han glanced at him briefly.
The aura from the earlier confrontation had already disclosed his strength to Shen Han.
This Mo Wanshui was indeed a cut above the rest.
Sixth Grade Fruit Realm.
With that level of strength, he could indeed be arrogant here.
Facing a group from the Sixth Grade First Snow Realm, he could easily suppress them all.
But his realm of strength was not particularly impressive.
Nor did it grant him the authority to pass judgment on others.
Who is suitable for cultivation? Who has accomplishments in cultivation? Mo Wanshui cannot discern these.
His perspective falls short, yet he attempts to instruct Shen Han.
All in all, it’s merely an act of feigning profoundness to bluff those around him.
In the center of the arena, the strong from each country were already mostly eliminated.
The chaotic scene gradually became clear.
As the situation becomes clearer, the requirements for sheer strength grow harsher.
The possibility of taking advantage amidst chaos grew smaller and smaller.
At this moment, Mo Wanshui also seemed to take things a bit more seriously.
His gaze turned towards Lanyu Country, towards the young man wielding a sword.
At this point, people were continuously being eliminated, one after another.
The competition had already spanned half a two-hour period.
Those with slightly inferior strength who couldn’t achieve much amidst the chaos mostly had elimination as their only path.
Shen Han continued to patiently watch, observing their comprehension of the Law and resistance to the suppression of the world.
At this point, no one attempted to sneak attack the flag anymore.
The situation was already this clear; attempting a sneak attack was exceedingly difficult.
Cangye Country had one person guarding the flag; the other nine were coordinating in attacks, naturally holding the advantage.
On the field, it seemed that people from Cangye Country and Lanyu Country had reached some understanding.
They each selected one opponent and began attacking the flag-bearers of the other side.
Purple Rudder Country and Aofeng Country were still resisting fervently.
No one wanted to be the first to have their flag cut down.
Whichever country first had the flag cut down would receive the least share of resources.
Most of the territories would have to be ceded to others.
At least being the second last would provide some solace.
The competition continued; under the guard of the flag-bearers, they surprisingly held on for a long time.
They even eliminated several attacking individuals.
But due to the disparity in both numbers and sheer strength, there was virtually no chance of victory.
Purple Rudder Country was the first to have its flag cut down, while Aofeng Country followed shortly after, with its flag severed by Lanyu Country.
The last two rankings were now apparent, leading to the final showdown.
Whichever side could protect its flag would seize the most abundant resources.
Three years’ worth of tax revenue, resources.
These are extremely significant for a country.
In this contest, on the side of Cangye Country, excluding the flag-bearer, three including Mo Wanshui remained.
On the Lanyu Country side, apart from the young swordsman, only one person remained.
From beginning to end, that young swordsman had not yet taken action.
