Chapter 84 Li Xin, the Second Strongest Swordsman in the World? Qian Daoliu Disagrees Again!
[Martial Soul Quality Ranking, Fourth Place: Zhujian]
[Owner Representative: Li Xin (Skin 'Mountain and Sea · Blazing Frost Slash')]
[Represents the faction: Chang'an City]
[Evaluation: God-tier Offensive/Agile Offensive Martial Soul. The Martial Soul is a combination of beast and weapon. Its form is a giant sword, "Blazing Frost Slash," entirely vermilion red, containing the ferocious beast Zhujian Xuanli, which can be summoned to fight alongside it. Zhujian originated from the Zhujian clan during the ancient Shan Hai period; it is both a ferocious beast and a divine beast, possessing immense combat power and hailed as "nature's top hunter."]
This Zhujian Xuanli is the supreme king of the clan, possessing two peak attributes: extreme ice and extreme fire. The two are mutually reinforcing and restraining, and one plus one is greater than two, giving it an absolute combat power that is ten times, or even a hundred times, greater than that of ordinary Zhujian. It has already qualified to be compared with the sacred beast, the White Tiger!
Under the divine power bestowed upon it by Xuanli, the King of Zhujian, "Blazing Frost Slash" possesses four forms: Normal, Berserk, Domination, and Fusion. The attributes that Zhujian displays in each of these four forms are different. In its Normal form, Zhujian has no additional attribute enhancements, possessing only pure primal power, and its combat strength is limited.
In its berserk form, Zhujian is of the ice attribute, possessing exceptional mobility and sustained combat ability, but its attack range is limited. In its domineering form, Zhujian is of the fire attribute, specializing in ranged attrition and area-of-effect damage, but its form becomes cumbersome. In its combined form, it combines the abilities and attributes of all forms, compensating for their respective strengths and weaknesses, allowing for both offensive and defensive maneuvers, but this form consumes a massive amount of soul energy and cannot be sustained for long.
Furthermore, Li Xin's sword intent had reached the pinnacle of the mortal realm, earning him the title of "Sword Saint." However, his mind was filled with obsessive thoughts and desires, preventing him from achieving the same level of clarity and true unity between man and sword as the detached and serene sword immortal Li Bai. Therefore, in terms of swordsmanship, he was second only to Li Bai, making him the undisputed second swordsman in the world!

"boom--"
The content displayed on the screen was like a thunderclap.
It struck the hearts of all living beings in the Douluo Continent with a resounding crash.
Humans and spirit beasts alike were once again abuzz with excitement:
"My God! Four forms in one martial soul, this is unprecedented!"
"Possessing both ice and fire attributes, isn't this Zhujian equivalent to the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King combined? That's too overpowered!"
"And what's with this 'second best swordsman in the world' thing? Are all the top swordsmen in Chang'an just gathered here?!"
"One is a 'Sword Immortal,' the other a 'Sword Saint,' one is 'number one,' and the other is 'number two.' If these two were to compete in swordsmanship, what a magnificent spectacle it would be!"
The ripples caused by Li Bai's claim of being the "Number One Swordsman Under Heaven" have not yet subsided, and now a new shock is coming one after another.
They just came in first place, and now they've come in second. What are Jian Dao Chen Xin compared to that? What are Qian Dao Liu compared to that?!
...
The Heavenly Dou Empire, Heavenly Dou City Imperial Palace.
"The second-best swordsman in the world?!"
Chen Xin could no longer remain calm; his Dao heart wavered, and he exclaimed in alarm:
"Li Bai is the first swordsman, Li Xin is the second swordsman, and Qian Daoliu is above me. Could it be that I can't even make it into the top three swordsmen in the world?!"
The people inside the hall were also incredulous and discussed the matter in astonishment.
They were well aware of how superb Chen Xin's swordsmanship was.
Now that two people claiming to be the "first sword" and the "second sword" have appeared one after another, how can they not be alarmed?
Just how powerful would a swordsmanship surpassing even Chen Xin's be? Could it shatter an army with a single strike?!
"Damn it, could it be that these two's swordsmanship has actually surpassed my grandfather's?!"
Even Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, could no longer remain calm, biting her lip with her pearly teeth:
"Two swords in one city, both surnamed Li, could they be brothers? But their martial spirits are different... Chang'an is truly beyond my imagination!"
...
Wuhun City, Hall of Offerings.
"The second-best swordsman in the world? Arrogant!!!"
The anger that Golden Crocodile Douluo had just suppressed erupted once more:
"First Li Bai claimed to be number one, and now Li Xin claims to be number two. Does that mean my elder brother is not worth mentioning?!"
The other worshippers echoed this sentiment, some with furrowed brows, others with expressions of resentment:
"Our eldest brother only came in third? Isn't that a huge disrespect to him?!"
"Damn it, what if another third-ranked kendo player shows up later? We really can't take it!"
As everyone spoke, they all turned to look at Qian Daoliu once again.
Qian Daoliu was no longer at peace; his voice was even deeper than before:
"Li Xin, second in swordsmanship! What a fine second place in swordsmanship!!!"
"I'll say it again: I have no interest in these empty titles, but..."
"I have immersed myself in the way of the sword for decades, and I believe I have reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship!"
"When the time is right, I will definitely go to Chang'an in person and compete with Li Bai and Li Xin in swordsmanship!"
These words immediately caused an uproar in the offering hall.
Everyone knew the eldest brother's temperament; he had never shown such fighting spirit before.
It seems that the emergence of these "first" and "second" in kendo has really displeased the eldest brother!
"Brother, we brothers believe in you!"
"That's right, in our hearts, our eldest brother's swordsmanship will always be number one!"
"These Li Bai and Li Xin types, humph, when they clash with you, they'll naturally take a backseat!"
...
The far north.
Deep within the core area, atop a snow-capped mountain peak.
"We just had a number one swordsman, and now we have a number two swordsman?"
Looking at Tianmu's evaluation, Xue Di naturally dared not question Tianmu, but she was still somewhat unwilling:
"Bing'er, I consider myself unparalleled in swordsmanship. My ultimate sword technique, 'Emperor Sword - Unrivaled Ice,' created with my life's sword intent, is it inferior to these two Lis?!"
Hyotei unconditionally trusts Yukitai and angrily protests in her defense:
"What first or second place! It's all meaningless. None of them can compare to you, Xue'er. They're all not as good as one of your fingers! Xue'er, you're the best!"
Xue Di was immediately amused by her and pulled her into his arms, laughing:
"Bing'er, you've gone too far with those words~"
Hyotei took the opportunity to hug her tightly and began to mischievously fondle her:
"What? You seem to be enjoying this, don't you? Do you want me to say you're inferior to them?"
"Hmm~"
Xue Di blushed at her words, her slender body went limp, and she quickly tried to change the subject:
"I wonder how Xiaobai is doing. She should be in Chang'an by now, right? I hope she doesn't get lost."
