At the moment before stepping into King Lian's Mansion, Shen Lu finally received a long-lost task.

[Rebellion Mission: Rescue Ouyang Zhong.] Success rewards: 3 revolt points, 300 points, 5000 experience. 】

Such a generous reward means that the difficulty of this mission makes Shen Lu full of vigilance.

Lian Wangfu, the first to enter the courtyard, the first pass.

In the middle of the courtyard, there stood a middle-aged man full of bookish anger. After he saw Shen Lu, he immediately hugged his fists and smiled: "Under Xu Lianma." I had long heard that there was a seventeen-year-old young tutor in the Ancient Saints Academy, and he had always wanted to take time to visit him. Hey, but what I didn't expect was that as soon as we met, we would have to fight each other, which was really not what I wanted. ”

Although his words were quite normal, there were three points of laughter and three points of banter in his tone, which made people very uncomfortable to listen to.

Shen Lu originally planned to say a few polite words. But when I thought that there were still many hurdles to break behind, I suddenly lost patience. Said directly: "How to compare, rules." ”

"Okay, Mr. Shen is quick to talk, and I won't talk nonsense. ”

With that, he activated the shield not far away. Suddenly, a translucent cover was formed in the courtyard to isolate mana.

At this time, Xu Lianma took out two stacks of yellow paper from the storage ring, and at the same time introduced the rules: "I am the mentor who is responsible for teaching King Lian's mana cultivation, and we are also competing for proficiency in mana mana. Hey, I've heard, Mr. Shen, your first class, you gave students a course on teaching the use of mana, and I guess my attainments in this area are also very good. ”

Shen Lu tilted his head noncommittally, waiting for him to continue explaining.

Xu Lianma praised Shen Lu twice in a row, but he didn't get the slightest response from the other party, and immediately frowned slightly, obviously angry.

He didn't say this anymore, but directly explained the rules: "The two of us each hold fifty rune papers. These runes are the runes used by the charmer, and a certain amount of mana can be stored on them. We will lodge the mana in these fifty pieces of paper, turn them into paper birds, and let them fly in this protective shield, or they can control themselves. We must not attack each other with mana, or even take the initiative to touch each other. Whoever takes the initiative to touch the other party will lose. At the same time, under this premise, whoever shoots down the opponent's fifty paper birds first wins. How?"

Shen Lu nodded and said, "The rules are very concise and clear, so be it." ”

Shen Lu stepped forward and took the fifty yellow talismans handed over by Xu Lianma.

The two of them gathered mana at the same time and poured mana into Huang Fu Zheng With the control of their minds, these yellow runes gradually moved by themselves under the effect of mana, folding themselves into the shape of birds, and then spread their wings and flew up.

However, there is also a clear difference between the two paper birds.

Xu Lianma's paper birds fold faster and more delicately, and each paper bird seems to come from the hands of a skilled craftsman.

On the other hand, Shen Lu's paper bird was very rough folded, but it barely had the shape of a bird, and it was almost impossible to tell that it was a paper bird. Moreover, the speed at which the paper in Shen Lu's hand turned into a paper bird was very slow, and when Xu Lianma had already let all fifty paper birds fly under control, Shen Lu had only done about half of it.

In desperation, Shen Lu could only turn on the peak state and speed up the production of paper birds, but he simply did not fall too behind.

Xu Lianma smiled faintly and said to Shen Lu: "This peak state is very mana-consuming. Mr. Shen works so hard, the first level is so hard, what can I do in the back? Hey, of course, then again, if you can't pass the first level, the rest is empty talk, if you think about it this way, Teacher Shen's actions are normal. If you can't even get fifty paper birds, it will be embarrassing. ”

In fact, since Shen Lu had a blood soul physique, this ordinary peak state could be entered whenever he wanted, and there would be no mana burden at all. The top pair is just a little faster in physical consumption after entering the second-order peak state.

But Xu Lianma's purpose in mentioning this matter was not to care about Shen Lu, but to be full of provocation.

This time, Shen Lu's own temper also came up.

Originally, he could contact the peak state at this time, but he continued to maintain it, and kept his eyes blood-red, and then said to Xu Lianma: "In the next few levels, I also have the corresponding means, but I don't bother you." And as a teacher who wants to teach students how mana works, if you can't even control things like peak state, then what's the point of controlling mana?

The conversation between the two Rao was full of gunpowder, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

[Scenario Mission Trigger: Win all levels without breaking the rules.] For each victory, you will receive 1 SS card, 50 points, and 1000 experience. After completing six levels perfectly, you will be rewarded with an additional SSR card, 3000 experience, and 1 mystery reward. 】

Xu Lianma took a few steps back and said to Shen Lu, "Can you start?"

"Always available. ”

"Good!"

In an instant, an extremely strong mana erupted from Xu Lianma's body, firmly locking Shen Lu. This mana is enough to have the five major consummation realms of the realm, locking Shen Lu, a rookie who has become a realm.

Because all this happened too suddenly, and the other party had emphasized before that they would just attack each other's paper birds and would not make a move, Shen Lu did not take too complete precautions, so that the opponent took advantage of it.

When Shen Lu was tired of dealing with these mana that locked him, Xu Lianma suddenly shook his hand, summoned a strong gust of wind, and swept towards Shen Lu's paper birds in the air, instantly shooting down twenty or thirty paper birds. This is also the case when Shen Lu reacted quickly and hurriedly mobilized his mana, so that the other twenty or so paper birds scattered and fled, otherwise it was very likely that Shen Lu's fifty paper birds would be wiped out in an instant.

"Despicable!" Shen Lu scolded angrily, his fists clenched.

Shen Lu was able to speak, which even Xu Lianma didn't expect.

Xu Lianma had already used most of his mana to lock on to Shen Lu, and it stands to reason that there was such a huge difference in mana between the two sides, Shen Lu should have been suppressed so that he didn't say a word.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Shen Lu could actually resist while controlling the birds, and at the same time be able to speak, which was indeed something Xu Lianma did not expect.

In fact, the reason why it became like this is the benefit of Shen Lu's anger.

Shen Lu was angry before, so he has been maintaining his peak state. At this time, the mana was suppressed, and because of the relationship between the peak state and the opening of the peak state, the mana in Shen Lu's body was mobilized extremely quickly, so that he could resist the strong pressure of the other party in an instant and react at the same time. Otherwise, if he is locked without entering the peak state, Shen Lu will be really bad.

Xu Lianma glanced at Shen Lu in surprise, but his expression immediately returned to normal, and said, "Where am I despicable?"

"You've been, neither of us is allowed to attack each other with mana!"

"Did I attack you?" Xu Lianma smiled: "It's just that you subconsciously thought that I used mana to lock you, which was a precursor to what I was going to do, but I didn't do it." ”

This may seem reasonable, but in fact it is a deliberate quibble.

Anyone who cultivates martial arts knows that after being locked by someone else with the same or even higher level of mana, before the lock is lifted, you must not act rashly, otherwise you will fall into a situation of being completely passively beaten.

The powerful strength of the opponent's fivefold realm locked Shen Lu, and if Shen Lu didn't take care of it, the result would inevitably be attacked by the opponent with thunder means, and there was a high probability that he would be seriously injured, or even killed directly.

Xu Lianma claimed that he didn't move, but that was all based on the premise that he couldn't act. But Shen Lu dared to bet, and the other party would never dare to act?

This is risking his own life to test the conscience of the other party. In case the other party is a shameless person and deliberately breaks the rules, will Shen Lu still have to take his life?

Of course, this deal is not cost-effective, so after Shen Lu is locked, he must resist the other party with all his might, so as not to put his life in danger.

And this is the condition created under the rules of the other party that is absolutely unfavorable to Shen Lu.

Shen Lu was very angry, knowing that all this must have been done by the Qin family.

Facing the other party's scoundrels. While Shen Lu was angry, his mind was much calmer.

At this time, although the other party was still locking himself with mana, Shen Lu had already condensed most of the mana on his body, resisting the pressure of the other party. Then he said, "I want to ask a question." ”

"Feel free to ask, but I won't necessarily answer. Xu Lianma sneered.

"The rules you just mentioned are all the rules? Just like yours, using mana to lock is not a violation, so using other methods that you didn't mention is not a violation, right?"

When Xu Lianma heard this, he was vigilant at first. However, he saw the fine beads of sweat oozing from Shen Lu's forehead, and thought that the other party was only a seventeen-year-old boy after all, what kind of strange trick could he come up with? As long as the rules do not prohibit it, it is not considered a violation. ”

Shen Lu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "It's good to be like this earlier." I originally thought that this was really just a test of teaching ability, a real competition of strength. But now that I think about it, it should all be a competition with different rules. The rule of this game is not to shoot down the opponent's paper bird, but to defeat the opponent without touching the opponent and attacking the opponent without using mana. Mine is right?"

Xu Lianma laughed and said: "Good son, comprehension is indeed possible, but you understand it too late!"

"No, the timing was just right. ”

As soon as Shen Lu's words fell, he suddenly entered the peak state of the second order, and his mana soared in an instant, and he suddenly broke through Xu Lianma's mana lock!

And after breaking through the opponent's lock, since the 13 resistance points in his body were all on the 'speed', the speed of Shen Lu's instant explosion was far greater than that of Xu Lianma. As soon as he got rid of the lock, Shen Lu disappeared from Xu Lianma's eyes in an instant, and began to run wildly around him.

Xu Lianma hurriedly condensed all the mana in his body, trying to find out Shen Lu's trajectory. But even if he concentrated all his attention, he could only vaguely see the afterimage of Shen Lu's figure.

At this moment, he realized that his attainments in speed could not be compared to Shen Lu in this life.

But at the same time, he had no fear. He didn't believe that Shen Lu dared to attack him directly, as long as he controlled his fifty paper birds and attacked Shen Lu's paper birds at the same time.

Shen Lu's paper bird, but it can't inherit Shen Lu's speed!
