THE MARTIAL KING - SEASON 6 EPISODE 37

However, Akiba didn’t know that apart from the God’s blessing, Rocher had also cultivated hard.

Rocher had never rested since the beginning of his swordsmanship practice. For more than a dozen years, he carried the sword with him even during meals and sleep.

To achieve the same progress as Rocher, a cultivator could not just rely on luck. Instead, painstaking efforts, hard work, persistence, and hardships were vital for success.

After taking a few steps away from Akiba, Rocher lifted his Blood-corroding Sword and pointed it toward the sky. Shortly after, vitality of heaven and earth began to surge in the sky. In the next instant, dim thunder and lightning flashed across the clouds.

“This is… Heavenly Sword!” As Akiba felt the terrifying momentum, his facial expression changed abruptly.

On the other side, Eddy’s eyes twitched. Rocher had mastered the use of the Heavenly Sword. It became even harder to believe that Rocher was ranked third at Cloud Sect. Eddy was certain that no one would shake him from this belief, even if they beat him to death.

Could a person at the third grade of the nature level be a match for Rocher? How could this be possible?

Rocher had proven his strengths no matter Eddy believed it or not.

In the turbulent sky, Rocher induced streaks of heavenly thunder.

When Rocher battled with Zen during the All Peaks Competition, he hadn’t used his Heavenly Sword in combination with heavenly thunder despite his mastery of combining thunderbolt with sword intent in the Sword Washing Pool. After all, he needed some time to adapt to the Extreme Thunder Sword Intent since he had just learned it for the first time.

After a month of cultivation, Rocher had become more proficient with the use of the Extreme Thunder Sword Intent. While initiating the force of heaven, he also triggered the heavenly thunder, thereby leading to the horrible scene in the sky.

“This swordsmanship is extraordinary…” Both Zen and Patrick gasped when they saw Rocher’s new move. It was true that they had beaten Rocher during the All Peaks Competition. However, they could now see that Rocher could not be underestimated. Only a month had passed since the All Peaks Competition, and yet, Rocher had mastered the essence of that move. Now, he was able to harness mightier strengths with this move.

“Gosh!” muttered Akiba as his face turned livid. Before this fight, he had been confident about his victory. But at this moment, he was cursing himself for having annoyed the disciples at Cloud Sect.

At this point, it didn’t matter if he regretted his actions. He had no other choice but to fight until the end!

“Ocean Immensity of Streaming Swordsmanship!”

As Akiba adopted this tactic of his Streaming Swordsmanship, numerous ripples surged like seawater and slowly gushed out beside him.

Now, he only hoped that he could resist Rocher’s sword with his Streaming Swordsmanship. Fortunately, the Ocean Immensity was a swordsmanship tactic useful for defense, and it could engulf all moves like an ocean.

Akiba had previously diffused assaults from much stronger masters by using this tactic.

However, when his move met Rocher’s, the ripples died…

Rocher produced irresistible power and might by using the force of heaven in combination with heavenly thunder, which deflected the ripples created by Akiba’s Ocean Immensity. Apparently, Rocher was in an advantageous position.

“Tinkling!”

A sound was heard when Rocher’s sword clashed with Akiba’s Ocean Immensity and unraveled it. At the same time, his sword collided with Akiba’s Dragon Sword.

Immediately, the Dragon Sword flew out of Akiba’s hand. After swirling over the sky for quite a while, it embedded itself in a stone table. The Dragon Sword was so sharp that it could easily pierce the stone table as though the table were a piece of bean curd.

“I…I lost…” yelled Akiba in a daze. He couldn’t believe that he had been defeated so quickly…

Rocher responded with a flat smile. Then, he returned his sword to his sheath, stepped back, and stood behind Kenneth where he had been before the fight.

At this moment, all disciples of Red Sect who stood on the other side fell silent. Akiba had been the strongest among them. Since Akiba had been beaten by Cloud Sect, it was pointless for them to continue challenging and fighting.

Eddy laughed in embarrassment. At last, he cupped his hands, bowed to Kenneth and said, “I would like to congratulate you. You have got such an outstanding disciple! Your disciples will undoubtedly be valued once they join Cloud Hall!”

Since his disciple had won in the fight and put his sect in a favorable position, Kenneth snorted and replied with a sneer, “Well, we hope so. Rocher is quite talented, but he only won the third place at this All Peaks Competition. The quota for our Cloud Sect is too limited, or else more of our disciples would have joined the Cloud Road.”

If Akiba’s skills qualified him to take the Cloud Road, then Tracy and Jacques would have also been eligible.

Regretfully, Cloud Sect only selected three disciples for the Cloud Road.

“Oh? Kenneth, Rocher is so gifted, but he only won the third place. On the contrary, the winner is a cultivator who is only at the third grade of the nature level. I am bewildered. How did this guy beat Rocher?” Eddy asked with great curiosity.

In fact, all disciples of Red Sect were baffled by this question. It was difficult for them to believe that Zen’s strengths were enough to defeat Rocher since they hadn’t witnessed that match.

To answer their questions, Kenneth laughed and stated, “If you want to confirm whether or not this is true, select an older disciple of your sect to battle with Zen. Then, you will witness his abilities and understand why he was able to defeat Rocher. Am I right? Heh, heh!”
