August 27, City 1001, the roof of an abandoned residential building.

August was in the scorching heat, the weather was hot, and after more than half a month of exposure, it finally ushered in a torrential rain.

"Whoa-la-"

Heavy rain poured down, thunder roared, and sometimes a bolt of lightning slashed directly from the sky.

Lu Xiao sat cross-legged on the rooftop, letting the pouring rain pour on his body, looking up at the lightning and thunder in the sky.

The thunderstorm he had been waiting for had finally arrived!

"Lightning Bolt ......"

Lu Xiao looked at the lightning that swept through the sky from time to time in the distance, and vaguely grasped something in his heart.

"Boom—"

The thunder became louder and louder, and lightning slashed down one after another, as if the gods were angry, carrying an unfathomable might.

"The highest level of knife technique and body technique are 'artistic conception level'. ”

"The really good cheats have their own artistic conception, and the artistic conception of "Nine Thunder Knife" is obviously related to thunder and lightning. ”

"My sword technique and body technique are all from the "Ninefold Thunder Knife", if you want to reach the highest level, you naturally need to figure out the artistic conception of thunder and lightning from time to time. ”

Lu Xiao watched the lightning bolt and thought silently in his heart.

"What is the artistic conception of thunder and lightning?"

"Sharp, sharp, irresistible, these are just its appearances, the horror of thunder and lightning, mainly because it destroys everything. ”

Gradually, as time passed, he felt more and more in his heart.

"The core of destroying everything lies in destruction. ”

"The artistic conception of thunder and lightning is destruction!"

"No, it's not just destruction, in the midst of destruction, there is still a glimmer of life. ”

Lu Xiao thought of a picture he had seen before, the dead wood that was killed by lightning grew new shoots after the rain.

All the phenomena of nature are not absolutely extreme.

Like thunder and lightning, although it symbolizes destruction, the ultimate of destruction turns to life and creation.

Life and creation will eventually translate into death and destruction.

Lu Xiao realized something in his heart.

"Behind all natural phenomena, there is the true truth of heaven and earth. ”

After having an idea, Lu Xiao quickly got up, picked up the Peerless War Knife placed on the side, and began to practice the sword technique in the rainstorm and thunder.

Unlike in the past, when he only tried to exert force, this time he practiced the knife, mainly to pursue the feeling in his heart.

Swinging the knife again and again, or slashing, or chopping, or plucking, it is like a streamer of light.

In this process, Lu Xiao's accumulated strength has been extremely condensed, and he is about to burst out!

"The First Dark ......"

Driven by the artistic conception in my heart, the first dark energy naturally broke out, followed by the second dark energy......

The second dark energy also broke out smoothly, but it was stuck on the third dark energy.

"Huh?"

This card made Lu Xiao get out of the state of immersion in the artistic conception in an instant.

"Just a little bit. Lu Xiao frowned.

At this moment, he noticed a puddle of water under his feet, which rippled gently in all directions as the raindrops fell.

"Huh?" Lu Xiao's heart moved.

"There is vitality in destruction, which I can't show in my current realm, but it's not impossible to do it at a shallow level. ”

"Just like this water droplet, under the action of external forces, there are layers of ripples, the external force is fierce, but the process of ripples is very gentle. ”

"Just can't be too long, but also with a little softness, the combination of rigidity and softness is the truth, otherwise blindly pursue power, not to mention anything else, the body will not be able to bear it first. ”

But it's one thing to think about it, it's different to really do it, Lu Xiao tried for most of the day, but he is still a little bit short of the realm of combining rigidity and softness.

"It's not too early, let's go back first. ”

Lu Xiao glanced up at the sky and thought silently in his heart.

"There is one more day tomorrow, so if you take the time to practice again, there is still a chance to break through the third level. ”

......

In the training camp, the staff counted today's prey, looked up at Lu Xiao in some surprise, and said with a smile: "Your harvest today is a little little." ”

Lu Xiao smiled and didn't explain.

In the middle of today's hunting, it suddenly rained, Lu Xiao decisively gave up the hunt, found a commanding height, watched the lightning thunderbolt, and comprehended "Nine Thunder Knife".

After most of the day, his gains are not small, the second weight of "Nine Thunder Knife" has been completely mastered, and the third weight is only one step away.

In contrast, fewer points are less important.

......

August 28 is the last day of the ranking cut-off.

It was another day of heavy rain.

But this is also normal, the weather in summer is like this, sometimes it doesn't rain for a month, and once it rains, it can continue for another week.

It's just a pity that it was the same rainstorm day, but there was no thunder today.

Fortunately, through yesterday's viewing, Lu Xiao has already gained a lot of understanding in his heart, even if there is no thunder today, it will not affect him to practice knives in the rainstorm.

Even because thunder and lightning are often associated with heavy rain, the artistic conception between them also has many things in common, so practicing knives in such weather, Lu Xiao quickly entered the state.

......

The time passed quickly, and it was already 10 o'clock in the evening.

Next to the black dragon carving at the main entrance of the elite training camp, many students were already surrounded at this time, and they were all waiting for the final ranking to be cut.

After these two days of hard work, many students have improved their rankings.

And Lu Xiao's ranking has changed from "NO.88" to "NO.91".

However, in the eyes of other students, although his ranking has dropped, it should be a foregone conclusion that he will remain in the top 100 this month.

And outside the training camp, about three kilometers in a residential building.

"Hurry up and set up the equipment. ”

"This matter is very important today, don't go wrong!"

A short-haired man commanded, directing the other five personnel to carry the equipment.

"Yes, Captain. ”

"Alright, that's it. ”

I saw a leaderboard appear on the huge screen that occupied an entire wall, which was the list carved by the black dragon in the training camp.

"Very good," the fierce man nodded in satisfaction, "Wait until the 12 o'clock ranking deadline, and we'll pass the news to the boss as soon as possible." ”

"By the way, remember to pay special attention to Lu Xiao of our Huaxia Kingdom. ”

"Understood!"

......

Not only this team, but in Hongning Base City, around the elite training camp, many intelligence officers are staring at the Black Dragon List, especially Lu Xiao's ranking, which is the top priority.

Originally, although everyone was concerned, their hearts were relatively relaxed.

In their opinion, Lu Xiao can't go out of the training camp to get record points today, so it is impossible for the ranking to rise again, and even with the return of the students who went out that day, his ranking may drop a few more places.

But in any case, it should not fall out of the range of 100.

Now that it was a foregone conclusion, all they had to do was record the moment.

But many things often don't go as expected.

Under the witness of everyone, between 10 o'clock ~ 12 o'clock on August 28, Lu Xiao's ranking was refreshed again!

And not just once, but three times in a row!
