"Alright." Su Chen nodded. Whether it's a real battle or just a duel of Sword Rhyme, the result is certain: "However, a battle without stakes is meaningless."

Wu Qi's eyes lit up even more: "What do you want to wager?"

"If I win, from now on, you follow me. If I lose, from now on, I follow you." Su Chen said with a smile. Yes, he had taken a liking to Wu Qi, a pure-hearted swordsman, someone he admired.

Moreover, the other party's sword talent was exceptionally monstrous.

Their future achievements were limitless.

Having encountered such talent, he couldn't miss the opportunity.

Indeed, he had developed an appreciation for talent.

Su Chen's insights were extraordinarily high.

If he admired someone's talent, it was enough to demonstrate Wu Qi's excellence.

In fact, it was also because of Old Dragon. Just moments ago, Old Dragon had suddenly remarked: This person possesses a pure sword heart.

Because of Old Dragon's words, he was determined to recruit Wu Qi.

A pure sword heart practitioner!!!

It's terrifying.

Martial cultivators in the world, from birth, are tainted with the aura of the mundane, which is unavoidable.

From birth, they are imbued with acquired aura.

But, there is one type of person who isn't.

That's a pure sword heart practitioner.

A pure sword heart practitioner can sever those mundane ties.

Their sword heart is pure, which means invincible.

A pure sword heart practitioner has unimaginable talent in the sword path, with potential that is astonishing beyond measure.

When a pure sword heart practitioner grows, they can rival Xiao Yuan's third-stage divine cold outburst of the Heavenly Yin Body.

Even in the Grand Cosmos World, pure sword heart practitioners are top prodigies sought after by major forces.

Encountering a pure sword heart practitioner is not easy.

"I don't need anyone to follow me." In the next moment, Wu Qi spoke. Swordsmen are solitary.

"As you wish. But if you lose, I want you to stay by my side from now on. Your life belongs to me. Whatever I want you to do, you will do." Su Chen said calmly.

This domineering condition and bet would be impossible for other martial cultivators to agree to.

Especially when they don't know each other.

Making such a big wager from the outset, is it a joke?

But the other party is a pure sword heart practitioner, so it's not.

A pure sword heart practitioner, with sword heart clarity, can't be judged by common standards.

For instance, in his world, there's only the sword. He doesn't desire women. Has no family attachments. Dislikes scheming. Keeps his promises, and so on.

A pure sword heart practitioner is truly pure, seeing only the sword.

A single sword is enough for a lifetime.

It's only this kind of pure-hearted swordsman that Su Chen would truly grow fond of.

"I agree." Wu Qi nodded directly. Su Chen guessed right, because Wu Qi didn't think he would lose at all.

A pure sword heart practitioner is proud.

This pride made him unable to refuse.

If he refused, it would mean fear, and his sword heart wouldn't be pure anymore.

"Make a move. One move decides the winner." Su Chen's voice quieted by three degrees.

In an instant.

Although Su Chen and Wu Qi hadn't yet made a move, the air between them suddenly solidified.

The air was filled with a pure, chilling sword aura.

A breath later.

Suddenly!

Wu Qi moved.

The sword in his hand was suddenly drawn out.

Fast, really fast.

Even Su Chen couldn't quite see how Wu Qi drew his sword clearly.

And at the instant of drawing the sword, there wasn't even a cold light; the Sword Light was already heading towards Su Chen.

Of course, it wasn't a life-and-death battle, so naturally, it wasn't targeting Su Chen's vital spots but aimed at Su Chen's shoulder.

In the blink of an eye, time seemed to freeze.

In Wu Qi's Sword Light, the Sword Rhyme surprisingly fused completely with the Sword Light.

The sword contained light, and within the light was rhyme.

Stunning!!!

Truly stunning.

Even Su Chen had to admit that for that instant, he seemed immersed in the brilliance of Wu Qi's sword.

However.

No matter how stunning, Su Chen wouldn't concede.

In fact, from the beginning, he stood in a position that is never defeated.

Unnoticed, Su Chen manipulated Sword Rhyme, suddenly manifesting, descending fiercely from the air.

Su Chen didn't draw his sword.

But, Sword Rhyme formed its own shape.

No need to rely on the sword itself.

From this point alone, Su Chen had already won.

Su Chen's speed of drawing a sword was certainly not faster than Wu Qi's. In the sword path, he was obviously temporarily far behind the pure-hearted swordsman Wu Qi, but his Sword Rhyme could act independently, which was enough.

In a fraction of a breath.

The Sword Light that Wu Qi unleashed shattered!!!

Shattered on the spot.

At the same time, a faint red mark appeared on Wu Qi's shoulder.

At that second, Wu Qi's eyes suddenly contracted.

He lost.

However, there was no anger or displeasure in his eyes; instead, there was excitement, longing, anticipation...

At the moment of losing, he didn't think about his defeat or that he had to follow Su Chen or that his life belonged to Su Chen.

What he thought was, it turned out Sword Rhyme could separate from the sword itself.

He found a direction to continue advancing in Sword Rhyme.

It was like suddenly finding a goal in life.

That's why he was excited, happy, thrilled.

One must know, he hadn't made substantial progress in Sword Rhyme for three whole years!

He had always been pursuing progress in Sword Rhyme.

In fact, coming to the Shiyu Secret Realm Battlefield assessment, he mostly wanted to duel with many top prodigies to find his own path forward in the sword.

Rather than aiming for a quota in the Jiucang Divine Pavilion.

Unexpectedly, within just three days of arriving at the Shiyu Continent, he found it, he harvested it. How could he not be excited?!

"Sword Rhyme can separate from the sword itself?" Wu Qi stared at Su Chen, stared intently.

Su Chen nodded: "You saw it."

"Can you teach me?" Wu Qi asked directly, straightforwardly, in fact, this is impolite because for martial cultivators, a technique like Sword Rhyme separating from the sword itself is definitely a hidden card.

How could it be so easily taught to others?

But Su Chen didn't blame Wu Qi; instead, he admired him more.

This is a man who truly only has eyes for the sword.

This is why he was so direct.

"Of course."

And Su Chen was truly willing to guide Wu Qi!!!

If he didn't teach Wu Qi, it would be a loss.

Moreover, from now on, Wu Qi would be one of his own.

Hahaha...

How could he not teach?

The stronger Wu Qi is, the better.

As for fearing Wu Qi would go back on his word? Backing out? That's out of the question. A pure sword heart practitioner doesn't go back on their word.

Fearing Wu Qi would surpass him in the future? That's out of the question. If he lacked that confidence, would Su Chen still be Su Chen? Even if Wu Qi were a thousand times more monstrous, Su Chen wouldn't feel pressured.

Su Chen never cares about how talented other geniuses are because no matter how talented, compared to himself, it means nothing.

His "Divine Demon Body Refinement," "True Fire Body Refinement," Divine Mansion, and his special physique, chaotic current, Old Dragon, Jiuyou, Xi, these fortuitous encounters, hidden cards, which one isn't of the utmost existence?

In the Myriad Heavens and Worlds, he's the ultimate.

He's a pinnacle that other geniuses can never come close to.
