Starting With 100 Million Lives

Venerable Ren Hui would rather not show off himself but instead watch Brother Cheng mess up.

After this kid fails and embarrasses himself, he'll make a grand entrance to turn the tide, wouldn't the effect be better?

Then ruthlessly humiliate him.

Strip him of that 'Protector' title, loudly declaring, 'I don't need any crappy protection, I'm stronger than you!'

Finally release the frustration of these past years and get this trial back on the 'proper' track!

The group across understood well, seeing his intention to make Jiang Cheng look ridiculous.

"The guy overestimating himself and showing off in front of Venerable Ren Hui, isn't that just making a fool of himself?"

"Yeah, go ahead!"

Brother Cheng looked at these people puzzled, not understanding why they suddenly became so excited.

"Since you guys insist so strongly, then I'll go ahead."

As soon as he finished speaking, five drops of rain fell from above.

One of the drops wasn't black or white, but gray.

It contained the Life and Death Sword Heart.

Without any hesitation, Brother Cheng targeted the gray drop first.

To him, any Sword Heart was the same.

Anyway, all fifteen gates were at full level.

As his sword tip touched the rain drop, Venerable Ren Hui's heart jumped to his throat.

Because he had been suppressing for years, he couldn't hold back anymore.

He even couldn't help but yell out in advance.

"Ha! Of course you're not capable..."

Before he finished speaking, the gray rain shattered.

Jiang Cheng successfully pierced through the Mental Realm test of the Life and Death Sword Heart, then his sword swept like a wild dragon, breaking the other drops too.

Clang!

His sword was back in its sheath.

And only then, the latter half of Venerable Ren Hui's sentence was spoken.

"...let me do it!"

Everyone else was dumbfounded, and the silence was awkwardly eerie.

Venerable Ren Hui's voice still echoed across the scene.

His throat seemed suddenly strangled, his face turning red.

The person already passed easily.

No need for him at all.

His excited heart, trembling hands, and that blurted-out sentence were completely superfluous.

This was very embarrassing.

The others' jaws were almost on the ground.

What just happened?

Did the Life and Death Sword Heart just get broken by this stranger who appeared out of nowhere?

It broke so effortlessly and inexplicably?

That was a Life and Death Sword Heart!

Touch it and your blade only gets a new hole, it's a Life and Death Sword Heart.

Can't be real, can it?

They directly fell into existential doubt, unable to snap out of it for a long time.

The first to snap out of it was Ling.

This green-skirted girl had been sitting quietly at the ship's bow for years, swinging her sword only when encountering white rain, now stood up for the first time.

"Wow, amazing!"

She routinely cheered and praised Brother Cheng.

This time her tone finally sounded sincere.

"You even possess the Life and Death Sword Heart?"

Seeing the stars in the eyes of this scheming girl, Brother Cheng's ego was greatly inflated.

"Just routine moves, darling stay calm."

"Didn't I say from the start that I could carry everyone through? The Life and Death Sword Heart isn't special, gotta handle it of course!"

He deliberately waved his hand, feigning humility and wonder.

"Why are you all so surprised?"

As if breaking the Life and Death Sword Heart was just that, not worth mentioning.

As if he hadn't been the one asking Ling for cheers and applause before.

Everyone was speechless.

Everyone knows this guy is showing off.

The thing is, it's genuine strength showing off, it's hard not to be convinced.

Even with Ling's cunning, she's left bemused by this guy.

But deep down, she's utterly shaken.

Initially, when Jiang Cheng said he was popular in the Celestial Dao Sword Sea, intending to carry everyone, she took him as an arrogant fool.

Who would've thought, this seemingly frivolous guy's boastful claims back then were actually true.

Not exaggerated at all.

This person owning all fifteen Sword Hearts, how unimaginable?

And they're all above Tier Eight!

He's undoubtedly the number one in the Celestial Dao Sword Sea.

No one here is more stable than he is.

He's entirely capable of leading anyone…

How absurd is this?

With her knowledge, she finds it almost too magical.

Venerable Ren Hui was dumbstruck; he felt this wasn't right.

Completely not right!

Wasn't it supposed to be some overconfident guy showing off, while he smugly holds a King Bomb-level trump card, watching quietly with a mocking eye…

When he's jumping the highest, you step out and slap him down.

Show him what hidden strength really is, what low-key mastery truly means, winning everyone's shock.

That's how the script was supposed to go, right?

He's not even on stage yet, the biggest ace, the Life and Death Sword Heart hasn't been shown publicly, and it ends like this?

And the one he considered a joke ends up laughing last inexplicably?

He can't accept this!

By this time, the seven people on the other boat had come to their senses too.

Though they mocked Jiang Cheng earlier, now they quickly changed their stance.

"Wow, another powerhouse with the Life and Death Sword Heart?"

"My gosh, that's incredible!"

"A true expert, this is a real expert!"

"Indeed, Venerable Ren Hui only has the Life and Death, Fire, and Water Sword Hearts, while this expert not only has the Life and Death Sword Heart, he also single-handedly broke so many rain drops just now, surely possessing ten or more Sword Hearts at least?"

"A genuine hidden master!"

"No wonder he's the Protector on that ship, truly powerful!"

"Master, we were blind to have offended you earlier…"

Faced with praise, Brother Cheng naturally accepted it all graciously.

"Hahaha, small scene, small scene, glad everyone found it amusing…"

Seeing him so smug, Venerable Ren Hui couldn't hold back anymore.

"I don't believe it!"

"How can you have the Life and Death Sword Heart?"

"We must have seen wrong earlier, that definitely wasn't it!"

The seven people on the opposite boat looked toward him simultaneously, everyone's eyes carrying a subtle hint.

They're not foolish; they can see Venerable Ren Hui's mental state has collapsed.

Unable to accept defeat.

"I want to compete with you right here and now!"

"Come on, let's compare Sword Hearts!"

"One on one, let's face the truth under swords!"

Venerable Ren Hui directly raised his Life-Slaying Sword imbued with Life and Death and Sword Rule.

"I want you to reveal your true form on the spot, and let everyone see what a true Life and Death Sword Heart is!"
