As the name Qin Hao resounded through the air, the eyes of many were instantly drawn to him.
Today’s assessment consisted of three grueling tests, and among all the participants, the most dazzling figures were undoubtedly Qin Hao and Ye Wushuang. These two were also the last to begin the third test. Qin Hao had already made a remarkable impression in the first two rounds. In the first test, he had struck twelve times, earning him the title of “Peerless Talent.” In the second test, he had surpassed the time limit by a full hour, securing the accolade of “Unparalleled Genius.” It was truly an outstanding performance.
However, considering his scores from the first two rounds, if Qin Hao wanted to claim the top spot, he would have to outshine Ye Wushuang in this third test. Many eyes were fixed intently on him. What kind of surprise would this prodigy of the Qin family bring in the final round?
Qin Hao walked up to the Jiu Tian Yuan Yang Mirror and declared confidently, “I choose the Four Seasons Spirit Sword Technique.”
At these words, anticipation sparkled in the eyes of the onlookers. It was well known that among the previous twenty-odd participants, most had chosen techniques like the Mountain Splitting Palm or the Dark Origin Fist. After all, compared to palm or fist techniques, swordsmanship and spear techniques were far more challenging.
As Qin Hao finished speaking, a faint golden longsword materialized in his hand. The sword, measuring three feet and seven inches, gleamed with an eerie, almost sentient aura. It was a Spiritual Treasure of the Mysterious Rank. With a confident smile, Qin Hao twirled the sword and began the first movement of the Four Seasons Spirit Sword Technique.
The technique consisted of five forms. The first form was like the gentle spring rain, continuous and unending, with a sword energy that was not particularly terrifying. The second form was like the summer thunder, startling and powerful. The third form was like the desolate autumn wind, evoking a sense of sorrow and desolation. The fourth form was like the winter chill spreading across the land, a chill that was not of the cold air, but of the daunting killing intent in the sword energy. The fifth and final form was the culmination of the essence of the four seasons’ changes, and it was the most powerful of them all.
As Qin Hao executed the technique, the onlookers were mesmerized. Each sword strike, each movement, was exquisitely beautiful. Moreover, Qin Hao had poured all his spiritual energy into the technique, maximizing the power of every move. At this moment, the audience felt as if the Four Seasons Spirit Sword Technique performed by Qin Hao was no less impressive than that demonstrated by a disciple of the Qingyun Academy who had reached the Meridian Condensation Realm.
On the sidelines, Wang Xueqi watched with a flickering gaze. This was not normal. It was far too abnormal. She knew Qin Hao’s talent well, but this level of proficiency was simply beyond what he should possess. After just three practice sessions, the Four Seasons Spirit Sword Technique he performed showed a clear level of mastery. Ye Wushuang had been right. The Qin clan had indeed gone to great lengths to build up Qin Hao’s reputation.
Meanwhile, on the main platform, Murong Ying marveled, “This Qin Hao… no wonder the Qin clan has gone to such lengths for him. He truly is a prodigy.”
“Humph,” Tang Chuyi snorted coldly beside him. “This young man, in my opinion, has definitely practiced the Four Seasons Spirit Sword Technique before.”
Tang Chuyi’s eyes were cold. He saw through the scheme, but without evidence, any accusation would be futile. Murong Ying simply smiled faintly and said nothing. Regardless of the reasons, Qin Hao’s performance was utterly captivating. The Four Seasons Spirit Sword Technique, in his hands, revealed a beauty that left everyone in awe.
After the sword technique was completed, Qin Hao stood in front of the Jiu Tian Yuan Yang Mirror, holding the sword in one hand and placing the other behind his back. His demeanor was indifferent yet arrogant. At this moment, he awaited the adoring gazes of all those present.
And then, within the Jiu Tian Yuan Yang Mirror, four large characters shone brightly, their light flickering.
