Chapter 44: First Place

c_t;After withstanding the first wave of thought impact, a more ferocious thought force impacted him. Read the latest chapter in full

Luo Xiu was inside the formation, his body was shaking, and he gritted his teeth to persist.

"Boom!"

It seemed that a sword pierced Luo Xiu's soul. Almost in an instant, Luo Xiu's will collapsed instantly, his eyes went black, and the whole person fainted.

"Buzz!"

The formation stopped working, and a series of human figures jumped out, bringing out Luo Xiu and others who had fainted in the formation.

After half an incense stick, everyone gradually woke up from the coma. Many people were still frightened and their faces were pale.

Luo Xiu's mental state was not optimistic. The moment his will collapsed under the impact, the tearing and shattering pain, those who had experienced it once would never be willing to experience it again.

Zhang Luliang stepped forward to announce the scores of everyone in this assessment. Nine layers of illusion, each layer counted as one point, and those who could withstand the first wave of thought impact could directly get ten points!

Zhang Luliang's old face was very ugly, because Luo Xiu's performance was unexpected again, even the master of the outer sect was moved, and he felt a great threat.

In this assessment, only Luo Xiu got 10 points, surpassing Xu Ping and Wang Can in one fell swoop, and temporarily ranked first!

In this way, there was only one last assessment left, the duel!

When it was announced that Luo Xiu got full marks again, everyone's eyes fell on him again.

Especially Xu Ping and Wang Can, their faces became gloomy. As geniuses in the family, they were so arrogant, but at this moment they were suppressed by a person with lower cultivation than themselves, and they immediately felt a deep sense of crisis.

"In the duel, I will definitely defeat you, because the first place will definitely fall into my hands!"

Wang Can walked in front of Luo Xiu, with a proud face and cold eyes.

Luo Xiu could feel Wang Can's hostility towards him, but he could understand it. After all, the reward for the entrance examination was only for the first place, especially the reward for the fifth-grade martial arts. Except for Luo Xiu, for other warriors who came to participate in the examination, the value was far more precious than three Qi Refining Pills.

But understanding was understanding, and what Luo Xiu hated most in his life was this kind of condescending and arrogant guy.

Therefore, Luo Xiu turned a deaf ear to Wang Can's declaration of war, closed his eyes, and didn't even bother to pay attention.

Because the previous will test made everyone's state not very good at the moment, the last martial arts test was put in the afternoon.

After two or three hours of rest, fifty Qi Hai warriors gathered in the martial arts field again.

The rule of the martial arts test is that the winner can get the points of the loser. For example, if someone can defeat Luo Xiu, they can get 28 points from him!

The competition was still conducted by drawing lots. The first opponent Luo Xiu drew was a sixteen-year-old boy with a strong physique, bronze skin that shone with a metallic luster, and a cultivation level of the second level of Qi Hai. His name was Zeng Kun.

"Haha, I didn't expect that I was so lucky to meet you!"

Zeng Kun walked onto the competition stage, full of vigor and a smile on his face. He was also a cultivation level of the second level of Qi Hai, and he was confident that he could defeat Luo Xiu!

What really made him happy was that as long as he defeated this kid, he could get the highest 28 points from him!

"It's Zeng Kun from the Zeng family in Gaoyi City!"

"Hehe, I heard that the Zeng family has a fourth-grade body-refining martial arts called the Copper Head and Iron Bone Skill. It once defeated a Qi Hai level three, and it is a tough character who can challenge across levels!"

"Luo Xiu's first three tests were all excellent, but this time he met Zeng Kun, who was two years older than him, and he might lose here."

Many spectators under the competition stage were concentrating on the field, looking forward to this fight.

Of course, based on Luo Xiu's previous performance, Pure Yang Gong plus the fourth-grade martial arts, most people still think that Luo Xiu has a higher chance of winning.

But as for how strong he is, it still depends on actual combat. Some people are very talented, but their combat effectiveness is very poor.

"Vajra Hand!"

Zeng Kun rushed towards Luo Xiu with great strides, as powerful as a tiger, with golden light lingering between his palms and fingers, performing a third-grade martial arts, but the power is comparable to the fourth-grade martial arts!

Obviously, Zeng Kun has practiced a third-grade martial arts Vajra Hand to the level of great perfection, and in the second assessment, he received a 9-point evaluation!

However, surprisingly, Luo Xiu did not draw his sword, but flashed and punched.

Second-grade martial arts, Dragon Tiger Fist?

He obviously has a fourth-grade perfect sword technique, but he uses a second-grade martial arts fist?

"This guy, is he so arrogant?" Many people changed their faces, thinking that Luo Xiu was too stupid to make such an unwise move. [Fast updates, clean website pages, few ads, I like this kind of website the most, I must give it a thumbs up]

On the martial arts arena, Zeng Kun sneered. He thought he might not have much chance of winning, after all, his opponent was a guy who had perfected the fourth-grade swordsmanship.

But this guy actually used a second-grade martial arts to fight him?

"Luo Xiu, you are doomed to lose!" Zeng Kun laughed loudly, pushing the power of the Vajra Hand to the limit.

But before his attack touched Luo Xiu, his left cheek was hit hard by Luo Xiu's tiger-style.

The expression on Zeng Kun's face froze instantly.

"Bang!"

He felt as if his face was hit by a hammer, and his sturdy body flew out, with a bloody tooth flying out.

Not only that, Luo Xiu's punch contained pure and powerful true qi. Zeng Kun fell to the ground, with stars in his eyes. He wanted to stand up, but he tried several times, but he couldn't stand up.

There was a dead silence in the field, and you could hear a pin drop!

One move! Luo Xiu defeated Zeng Kun with just one move?

"Zeng Kun's copper head and iron bone skill has extremely strong defense, but he can't even withstand Luo Xiu's punch?"

"It's not that Zeng Kun is too weak, but Luo Xiu is too strong. His true qi is pure and powerful, and Zeng Kun's copper head and iron bone skill can't defend it at all."

"Luo Xiu's attack speed is too fast. He strikes back and wins with one move?"

Thinking of this, many people's expressions froze again and became weird.

Logically speaking, Luo Xiu has perfected the fourth-grade sword technique, so his best skill should be sword technique. And he has already performed a second-grade boxing technique so well, so how strong and fast should his sword technique be?

"If he uses a sword, I'm afraid he can kill Zeng Kun with one sword!"

"No wonder he didn't use his sword, doesn't he want to hurt anyone?"

The high and mighty Lu Sect Master now can't help but reevaluate Luo Xiu.

"Mengyao, you have a good eye." Looking at his daughter beside him, he suddenly said this for no reason.

Lu Mengyao was startled, "Father, you..."

"No one knows a daughter better than her father, how can I not see your thoughts? But if he wants to be worthy of my daughter, he must become the first in the outer sect before he is eighteen years old and enter the inner sect!" Lu Feichen said with a smile.

"Dad..." Lu Mengyao understood what her father meant this time, and her pretty face suddenly flushed.

Luo Xiu walked down from the arena. He ignored the envious, jealous, and awe-inspiring eyes and turned his eyes to Lu Mengyao who was sitting next to the master of the outer sect.

He was very confident in his own strength. Without Zhang Luliang's interference, he was sure to win the first place in the assessment.

"You left me a letter saying that you would wait for me at Xiaoyao Gate. Now I am here..." This is what Luo Xiu was thinking at the moment!

Lu Mengyao also saw Luo Xiu's gaze, and the blush on her face suddenly became hotter. She seemed a little afraid to look at him.

She thought that Luo Xiu would have to wait at least another year or two before he could enter Xiaoyao Gate. She didn't expect that this day would come so quickly and suddenly.

"Is this the feeling of liking someone?"

Lu Mengyao couldn't help but think of this. Although she was nine years older than Luo Xiu, for a martial artist, as long as he broke through to the innate realm, he would have a lifespan of three to five hundred years. The difference of nine years was nothing.

The symptoms of Huoyang Juemai no longer exist, and Lu Mengyao is confident that she can reach the Xiantian realm, and even the Refining Spirit realm.

And Luo Xiu's talent is even better than hers. As long as his father agrees, there is still a great chance for the two to be together.

Just as Lu Mengyao was thinking about this in her heart, the assessment on the martial arts arena was still going on.

The losers will be eliminated directly, and the winners will get more points.

Soon, the first round of the competition ended.

Zhang Luliang stood up and announced the rules of the second round of the competition, "The remaining 25 people, those who rank lower in points can challenge those who rank higher. If the challenge is successful, they can replace the opponent's ranking. In the end, the top three people can become formal disciples of Xiaoyao Outer Sect!"

Now, Luo Xiu ranks first, followed by Wang Can in second place, followed by Xu Ping.

There is no doubt that if the people who rank lower want to fight for the quota to become outer disciples, the three of them will have to face many challenges.

First, the girl ranked 25th walked onto the martial arts arena. The opponent she was going to challenge was Xu Ping, who ranked third.

In just a moment, the challenge failed!

Then, the 24th, 23rd, 22nd, etc. ranked people came on stage one after another, some challenged Xu Ping, and some challenged Wang Can.

However, the final result was that all the challenges failed without exception!

Xu Ping and Wang Can were both at the third level of Qi Hai, and had mastered the fourth-grade martial arts. Their strength was top among the crowd.

However, among those ranked lower, there were also masters of the third level of Qi Hai, but they were relatively older, all of them were seventeen or eighteen years old.

At this time, another girl walked onto the arena. It was Nie Xiaodie, a genius girl from the New Stone City Martial Hall!

Her points ranked thirteenth in the ranking!

Holding a long spear in her hand, Nie Xiaodie was dressed in red, and her heroic appearance attracted the attention of the whole audience.

A woman with high talent, strong strength, and a beautiful appearance is undoubtedly a more eye-catching focus than Luo Xiu!

Just when everyone was guessing who Nie Xiaodie would challenge, she raised her jade hand and pointed at Luo Xiu, "I challenge you!"

"She actually challenged Luo Xiu?"

The whole audience was in an uproar. Several challenges had been made before, and no one chose to challenge Luo Xiu. After all, Luo Xiu's previous battle with Zeng Kun had already shown his extremely strong strength.

Luo Xiu was not surprised at all that Nie Xiaodie chose to challenge him, because after Nie Xiaodie lost to him in Qingyun Martial Hall, she had always threatened to defeat him.

This battle was inevitable.

Luo Xiu stepped onto the arena and said lightly: "Go ahead."

At the beginning, he did not draw his sword, but only relied on the strong internal strength cultivated by Pure Yang Gong to defeat her. Now, his strength is far from what it used to be, and Nie Xiaodie is even less likely to be his opponent.

But Luo Xiu would not say such words, otherwise it would be a contempt and humiliation to Nie Xiaodie.

"Blue clouds and sky!"

Nie Xiaodie's delicate body jumped up, her red clothes fluttering, and her spear flashed with blue light. A spear stabbed, like a blue light, cutting through the air, whistling and sharp.

She practiced the fourth-grade spear technique of the New Stone Martial Hall, and reached the great success realm. Except that her cultivation was slightly worse than Xu Ping and Wang Can, she was basically on par with them in other aspects.

Luo Xiu moved his feet sideways, and his figure disappeared instantly, causing Nie Xiaodie's sharp spear to miss.

"So fast!"

Nie Xiaodie secretly said that it was not good. Since she lost to Luo Xiu, she practiced hard and thought that her strength had greatly improved. However, she did not expect that Luo Xiu's body movement speed was faster than before!

"Fourth-grade body movement perfected!?" There was another cry of surprise from the audience.

One person, mastering two fourth-grade martial arts, what kind of monstrous talent is this!

"Tiger Style!"

Luo Xiu appeared on the right side of Nie Xiaodie and punched out with a roar.
