Chapter 17: Master of the Martial Hall

Seeing the shocked look of the assessment elder, the crowd below the arena was silent, and everyone was stunned.

The assessment elder looked at Luo Xiu, still with surprise in his eyes, "Such a pure and strong internal energy, the seventh level of body refining is almost comparable to the ninth level of body refining, even I almost saw it wrong."

In the crowd below, the expressions of Zhang Hai, Lu Feng and others were even more wonderful, their jaws almost dropped to the ground in shock, their faces full of disbelief.

"Is this fucking fake? Three months ago, his cultivation was lower than mine, but he has reached the seventh level of body refining? And his internal energy is pure and strong, comparable to the ninth level of body refining?"

This evaluation is not low, which means that Luo Xiu almost has the strength to keep pace with the ninth level of body refining martial artists!

After the dead silence, the whole audience was in an uproar, many people gasped or swallowed their saliva, especially those who knew Luo Xiu were even more shocked. From the second level to the seventh level of body refining in three months, this cultivation speed is too shocking, isn't it?

To improve five small realms in three months, even though the Qingyun City Martial Hall has been standing for more than 800 years, it has never happened before!

Liu Yuxin was also in the crowd, and her eyes became extremely complicated at this moment. Recalling that in the novel Zang Bai~Wan # ^^, she recommended him to be a guard in the Liu family. No wonder Luo Xiu was dismissive.

With such an appalling cultivation speed, who would be willing to be a servant?

"Humph, so what if you are at the seventh level of body refining? I will still destroy you today!" Zhang Hai's eyes flashed with a fierce light. Although the assessment elder said that Luo Xiu's internal energy was comparable to the ninth level of body refining, he was still very confident.

Luo Xiu stood on the stage, feeling quite emotional. Thinking back to when he was just a poor boy from a commoner family, looked down upon by others.

Who would have thought that he would have this day when he would be the center of attention and be full of vigor and vitality?

In the complex eyes of envy or suspicion, Luo Xiu walked down from the martial arts arena.

The assessment continued. After Luo Xiu passed the assessment, some people came on stage one after another. The elimination rate was amazing.

There were only five people who passed the assessment in the primary class, including Luo Xiu.

The elimination rate was even higher for the assessment from the intermediate class to the advanced class, with only one person passing.

Because the later you get, the more difficult it is to improve your cultivation.

"This annual assessment is over!" The assessment elder announced loudly, and then left the martial arts arena.

However, the crowd around did not disperse, because almost everyone knew that there would be another fight after this annual assessment!

"Luo Xiu!"

A cold shout echoed in the air, and a figure leaped up and landed on the martial arts arena, with his hands behind his back, standing proudly.

This person was Zhang Hai!

"Last time, Teacher Lu came forward. Now you and I are both students of the intermediate class. Do you dare to come up and fight?"

After this sentence was said, everyone's eyes were once again focused on Luo Xiu.

"Hehe, this Luo Xiu is just a poor boy from a commoner family. He has made such a big splash. Let's see what he will do this time."

"He has improved five realms in three months, but a high level of cultivation does not mean high strength. What's more, Zhang Hai is at the eighth level of body refining, which is higher than him!"

"That's right, that's right. I don't believe he can improve so quickly. I heard that some methods can quickly improve cultivation in a short period of time, but they will damage the body and affect future martial arts progress."

Many people talked about it. Although Luo Xiu shocked the audience in the annual assessment, no one still thought he was Zhang Hai's opponent.

Amid many eyes full of envy, jealousy, and gloating, Luo Xiu walked onto the competition stage.

The envy and jealousy were naturally because he broke through five realms in just three months, which made the assessment elders give him a very high evaluation. The gloating was of course this poor boy who made a lot of splash, and was about to be severely punished by Zhang Hai, who was at the eighth level of body refining.

Seeing Luo Xiu walk onto the competition stage, Zhang Hai's eyes flashed with a cold look.

He has always regarded himself as a genius. At the age of fifteen, he reached the eighth level of body refining and was praised as a warrior who could become a Qi Hai realm warrior before the age of eighteen.

"Luo Xiu, don't think that you are qualified to compete with me just because you are at the seventh level of body refining. I will let you know how big the gap between us is!" Zhang Hai said with a sneer.

"Even if you kneel down and beg for mercy now, I will not let you go. You are destined to spend your life in bed."

A cruel smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Hai's mouth. He wanted to destroy the meridians and bones of this kid's body, making him a useless person for the rest of his life and unable to practice martial arts!

"You want to destroy me?" Luo Xiu's eyes were stern. There was no great hatred between the two sides. It was just a fight between young people. Zhang Hai actually wanted to destroy himself?

"I want to destroy you. As a lowly person like you, as long as I don't kill you, the martial arts hall will not punish me." Zhang Hai sneered, his eyes were full of murderous light, he took a step, leaped up, and pounced on Luo Xiu.

Luo Xiu's body moved slightly to the left, and Zhang Hai's attack instantly failed.

Zhang Hai quickly changed his moves, and his attack was like a storm, one move after another, but Luo Xiu kept his hands behind his back from beginning to end, and no matter how fierce his attack was, he could not touch a corner of his clothes.

For a moment, the arena was covered with dust.

"This Luo Xiu's body movements are so exquisite? Could it be that he has already reached the state of minor success?"

"With Zhang Hai's strength, he can't even touch a corner of his clothes. I guess this Luo Xiu's body movements are close to the state of major success!"

"I didn't expect Luo Xiu to be so powerful. Maybe he can really defeat Zhang Hai."

"What a joke. He just knows how to dodge. If he fights head-on, Luo Xiu will definitely be knocked out!"

Many people gathered near the arena. The discussion of the crowd reached Zhang Hai's ears on the stage, and he was immediately ashamed and angry.

"Asshole! Is all you can do is dodge? Cowardly lowly people!" Zhang Hai roared, raised his leg and swept it across, kicking Luo Xiu's head.

"Bang!"

This time Luo Xiu did not dodge, but raised his hand to block the attack.

Seeing this, Zhang Hai was delighted and immediately changed his moves and shouted, "Broken Mountain Palm!"

"A trifle."

Luo Xiu looked disdainful, and his aura suddenly changed, and he punched out.

"Not good!"

Zhang Hai was shocked, and felt a fierce and violent aura coming towards him from Luo Xiu, which made him feel extremely depressed.

"Tenglong Style!"

"Bang!"

A fierce and huge force came, and Zhang Hai felt a sharp pain in his palm, and his body flew backwards.

"Wow!"

In mid-air, Zhang Hai spit out a mouthful of blood, fell five or six meters away, and a cloud of dust was stirred up, and stars appeared in his eyes.

"Eighth level of body training, but that's all." Luo Xiu sneered disdainfully on the martial arts stage.

"This is impossible!" Zhang Hai stood up shakily, his teeth full of blood, his face grim, "How could I lose to you, a lowly person?"

"Go to hell!" Zhang Hai roared, stepped forward, and slapped Luo Xiu fiercely with both palms.

He could not tolerate that he, a genius, lost to a boy of humble origin!

"Don't overestimate your ability." Luo Xiu did not dodge, and reached out to grab Zhang Hai's wrist directly.

Zhang Hai tried to use his internal energy to try to break Luo Xiu's hands free, but his internal energy was completely dissolved into nothingness, and his wrist was like being clamped by an iron clamp, the pain was unbearable.

"How is this possible? Is his internal energy really comparable to the ninth level of body refining?" Zhang Hai's heart was full of huge waves, and he only felt a surge of internal energy impacting his meridians and bones.

"Crack!"

The sound of bones breaking came out, and before Zhang Hai could scream, Luo Xiu kicked him hard in the chest.

"Bang!"

Zhang Hai's body flew back five or six meters and fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"There is no hatred between you and me, but you threatened to cripple me and make me stay in bed for the rest of my life. I didn't expect that you, a master of the eighth level of physical training, would be defeated by me, right?"

Looking at Zhang Hai lying on the ground with a painful face, Luo Xiu's eyes flashed with cold light.

"You...what are you going to do?" Zhang Hai felt the dangerous breath from Luo Xiu and suddenly panicked.

"What am I going to do? Of course, I will fight back and cripple your cultivation and let you stay in bed for the rest of your life." Luo Xiu sneered.

"You dare! My father is the head of the Zhang family. If you dare to touch me, you will die!" Zhang Hai roared with a ferocious face.

However, Luo Xiu was not moved at all. In Shuiwu Mountain, he even dared to kill people!

"Bang!"

He punched Zhang Hai, and the life and death energy flowed into his body, destroying his life veins. Zhang Hai screamed instantly, his meridians broke, his face turned pale, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

"Don't you look down on common people? Now you are a useless person, even worse than the untouchables you despise the most, so what are you?"

Luo Xiu's eyes were full of indifference, and he turned and walked down from the arena.

At this moment, the crowd watching under the arena had already been dead silent, especially seeing that Luo Xiu was so cruel and directly disabled Zhang Hai, everyone avoided him from a distance, looking at him with fear and fear in their eyes.

"Brother!..."

Zhang Hao rolled and crawled onto the arena, shouting to the surroundings, "Come on!"

But no matter how he shouted, no one came up to help, even the common people who usually followed their brothers to hang out, they all looked indifferent at this moment.

Since Zhang Hai was already a useless man, it was naturally not worth it for them to do anything.

In the distance of the arena, on a loft, two figures stood side by side, and had a full view of the previous fight.

One of the figures was the elder who was in charge of the assessment before, named Zhuang Nantian, one of the few innate martial artists in Qingyun City.

The figure standing side by side with Zhuang Nantian was a middle-aged man with a kind face, wearing a loose white robe.

"Elder Zhuang, you said that this Luo Xiu is only in the seventh level of body training, but his internal energy is comparable to that of the ninth level of body training?" The man in the white robe said.

"Yes, Palace Master. According to the investigation, this Luo Xiu was only at the second level of body training three months ago. His cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds in recent times. However, what he has practiced is just an ordinary second-grade martial arts." Zhuang Nantian said respectfully.

There is only one person in the entire Qingyun City who can be treated so respectfully by Elder Zhuang, the innate martial artist, and call him Palace Master. That is the highest authority of the Qingyun City Martial Hall, the Master of the Martial Hall!

In Qingyun City, the forces are complicated. There are the Hunter Guild, the Formation Master Guild, the Alchemist Guild, and the Casting Master Guild, but the real master of Qingyun City is the Master of the Martial Hall!

Yunlong County is the sphere of influence of Xiaoyao Sect and the master of this land. The Martial Halls of each city were also founded by Xiaoyao Sect, and Qingyun City is just one of the hundreds of cities in Yunlong County!

"A child of common origin can reach this level. He is indeed a rare genius. He can be cultivated with emphasis." The Master of the Martial Hall said with a smile.
