Chapter 1397: Chapter 686 Luo Chen: What is My Sword Dao Like?
This mysterious man stands on the other side of the arena, his figure seemingly blending with the surrounding shadows, making him hard to grasp.
He wears a black mask on his face, only revealing a pair of sharp eyes, exuding an arrogant and cold aura.
Luo Chen’s gaze is tightly fixed on the mysterious man, a sense of unprecedented challenge rising in his heart.
He knows that this opponent is by no means ordinary.
The appearance of the mysterious man makes the atmosphere in the martial arts arena heavy.
The audience whispers, speculating about his identity and strength.
Luo Chen takes a deep breath, adjusting his breathing, preparing to face the imminent challenge.
The sound of the gong rings again, Luo Chen and the mysterious man almost simultaneously leaping onto the arena.
The two stand several meters apart, confronting each other.
The mysterious man’s eyes are as sharp as a leopard, while Luo Chen maintains his usual calmness, but internally, he is wary of every subtle movement from his opponent.
The moment the match starts, the mysterious man disappears like a ghost, and the next moment, he appears on Luo Chen’s left side, a fierce palm strike targeting Luo Chen’s vital spot.
Luo Chen reacts quickly, shifting his position, the sword tip gliding out in response, clashing with the palm strike, producing a crisp sound.
The two engage in a back-and-forth exchange, Sword Light and palm shadows intertwining, the audience hardly able to discern their movements.
Luo Chen finds that the mysterious man’s movement technique is unpredictable, and his palm technique, a blend of hardness and softness, is astonishingly powerful.
He realizes that this is a genuine hard-fought battle.
In an intense clash, Luo Chen’s sword tip grazes the mysterious man’s palm, producing a metallic collision sound.
Luo Chen feels a powerful Inner Strength coursing through the sword body, almost causing him to lose grip of the sword hilt.
But he does not retreat; instead, it ignites the fighting spirit deep within his heart.
He begins to try to incorporate his understanding of Sword Dao into the battle, every strike paying more attention to changes and the use of Inner Strength.
The mysterious man seems to sense Luo Chen’s transformation; his offensive becomes more rapid, but Luo Chen always finds flaws at critical moments, neutralizing the crisis.
As the battle continues, Luo Chen gradually finds the mysterious man’s rhythm, beginning to predict the opponent’s attacks and respond in advance.
Finally, after a skillful Sword Move, Luo Chen’s sword tip touches the mysterious man’s chest again; this time, he leaves no opportunity for counterattack.
The audience erupts in applause and cheers again, Luo Chen’s victory earning everyone’s respect.
The mysterious man takes off his mask, revealing a young and resolute face; he nods to Luo Chen, expressing his respect.
Luo Chen also smiles back, knowing that this battle not only made him stand out in the Martial Arts tournament, but more importantly, through the duel with a strong opponent, he gained a deeper understanding of the realm of "Heart and Sword as One."
...
After jumping off the arena, Luo Chen can’t help but feel emotive.
"This Martial Arts tournament indeed has quite a few strong participants. So far, it’s been manageable, but I wonder what will come next?"
Luo Chen’s thoughts are interrupted by the noise of the martial arts arena; he looks up to see more challengers leap onto the stage, showcasing their martial arts.
Every person has their Ultimate Skill, every movement brimming with power and beauty.
Luo Chen knows this is just the beginning, the real challenge is yet to come.
As the competition progresses, Luo Chen begins to notice some special opponents.
One of them is a female swordsman wielding dual blades; her movements are as graceful as a dance, the dual blades in her hands seem to have life, each swing carries lethal allure.
Luo Chen respects her artistry, but he knows that if they meet in the finals, he must give his all.

Finally, Luo Chen is summoned onto the stage once more.
His opponent is a tall monk wielding a massive Zen Staff.
The monk carries a peaceful smile on his face, but Luo Chen knows that hidden behind this smile is immense power.

Luo Chen feels an invisible pressure, as if every step of the monk is treading upon his heart.
