It was hard to predict who would win in the fight since both Zen's and Tracy's strengths exceeded the
normal level of the other disciples in the All Peaks Competition. Even their previous battles and
experiences weren't of much help. Only when the match was over could they conclude the winner!
"Zoom!"
The sword that Zen held cut upward, right through the five blue claw prints.
An ear-splitting screeching sound, similar to claws scratching a smooth surface, came from the collision
between Zen's Streamer Sword and the five blue claw prints.
"Oh my god!"
"What is this noise?!"
"It makes me dizzy! I'm going to vomit!"
A lot of disciples who practiced poorly found the screech quite unbearable. Even those disciples who
had reached the nature level consummation had gone pale--they were a bit uncomfortable, but they
could tolerate it for the time being.
Those disciples who had reached the level of Illuminating Soul Realm frowned slightly and barely
reacted to the sound.
A fierce sword intent wrapped the three-foot sword's simple chop and continuously melted the
unusually aggressive claw prints. However, the claw of the Blue Phoenix was quite powerful too. If one
were to look closely, they would find countless small wind shears around the claw prints which
endlessly tore at the Streamer Sword.
Fortunately, Zen's Streamer Sword was a fairy weapon, so it was strong enough to resist the small
wind shears' attacks. If it was just a mysterious or a spiritual weapon, it would've been torn into two by
now.
After a mere second, Zen's chop of the sword had finally taken over the blue claw prints and hacked
them into pieces.
"The blue claw prints are broken..."
"It looks like Zen's sword is stronger than the claw prints!"
"Zen only had an advantage over Tracy because of his weapon!" one of the disciples in the crowd said.
"After all, he has a fairy weapon in his hands, and Tracy has nothing except her claw!" he added.
"Are you sure that Zen had edge over Tracy just because of his weapon? Have you forgotten that Zen
is just at the grade two of the nature level, while Tracy has already reached the Illuminating Soul
Realm?" another one of them countered.
When they realized what the latter just said, they all gasped in shock. They felt dumbfounded when
they forgot what Tracy could do.
She could rely on her great blood strength and the body of the Blue Phoenix. Moreover, she had
already reached the level of Illuminating Soul Realm. On the contrary, Zen was only at grade two of the
nature level!
Grade two of the nature level…
It was a level lower than all the other disciples' levels in the All Peaks Competition. It was at the bottom
of the level list of all the inner disciples of Cloud Sect.
However, Zen stood on the battlefield of the All Peaks Competition and took part in the hard challenges
one after the other, which they all couldn't have imagined. They didn't know what to say about the huge
skill gap between them and Zen. It was quite amazing!
Meanwhile, Zen paid absolutely no attention to other people's comments about him at that moment.
After he slashed Tracy's claw prints into pieces with the sword, he kept going with it and performed
another move. "Pick upwards!" he shouted.
It was another simple move from the basic swordsmanship. Although it looked like it was easy to
counterattack, it seemed that Zen was the only sole master of this move! Even powerful men like
Kenneth and Elder Xu couldn't find any flaws in Zen's swordsmanship now.
Despite that, of course, it did not mean that they would lose to Zen in the competition. There was still a
huge gap in skill between Zen and them, and they could easily defeat Zen with their immense strength.
They couldn't win when faced with the move, though.
Tracy had always kept her cool ever since she had activated the body of the Blue Phoenix. She looked
like an incorruptible goddess when she had released massive amounts of power. However, that all
changed a little now because of Zen's attacks.
She was a playful girl by nature and didn't like to practice. However, she could defeat most of the
disciples in the same rank because of the body of the Blue Phoenix and her extraordinary talent, even
if she didn't practice a lot.
Thus, she still had a chance to win after she had activated the body of the Blue Phoenix--even if she
fought against the mighty Patrick.
Before her fight with Zen, she thought that she could quickly finish the competition after she activated
the body of the Blue Phoenix--but she didn't expect that Zen could cut the Blue Phoenix's strongest
killing trick of the claw prints, and he had even fought back now!
For Tracy, Zen was just like a small toy for her to play with.
That was how she had always viewed Zen.
However, the small toy refused to obey and paid her no attention. Tracy, who had always been proud
and stubborn, found it unacceptable--and it was why she was angry.
Maybe other people, and also even Zen might find her reason for getting angry unfathomable--but that
was just how Tracy was, and how she had always been. She wanted to give Zen a lesson and decided
that it would be in the form of bleeding holes on his body.
And that was what she did. Two Emei Pricks pierced Zen's shoulder when the body of the Blue
Phoenix was activated.
However, Zen had the upper hand when he raised his sword. Tracy felt that she was no match for him
anymore!
'Zen is just at grade two of the nature level. Maybe he is special, but how can he even compete with
me?
How can he fight against me?
He's just a nobody among hundreds of thousands of disciples in Cloud Sect! He is just one among the
countless grains of sand!
How can he win against me with the fucking basic swordsmanship, which he learned from nowhere!'
Tracy angrily thought to herself.
"I will never lose to you!" Tracy gritted her teeth and angrily declared.
Her eyes began to blaze a fiery red. It only meant one thing: she was going to burn the blood of the
Blue Phoenix.
At that moment, Patrick, who stood next to the battlefield, saw that Tracy was forced to retreat by Zen's
basic swordsmanship. When he noticed the ruthless and vicious look on Tracy's face, he knew what
was going to happen.
His mouth immediately went dry. "Tracy, don't be stupid! Zen, Tracy is going to burn the blood essence!
It will damage her body for life! Stop her!" he shouted, panic evident in his
voice.
