Not long after Lu Ping'an defeated Lan Hongsi, the quarterfinals all came to an end.

The monks who advanced to the top four were Lu Ping'an, Gongsun Ying, Lu Qianqiu, and Qi Yanyan.

Among them, Qi Yanzhan is the elder of the Jixia Sword Pavilion.

And with the addition of Lu Qianqiu, Jixia Academy accounted for half of the top four.

This result is still a little surprising to people, everyone knows that there are many students in Jixia Academy, and there are geniuses like clouds.

But I didn't expect that two of them would be able to reach the semi-finals!

From this point of view, they claim to be the "No. 1 Academy in the Eastern Continent", and they are also qualified and confident.

Prior to this, Lu Ping'an went to the stage and defeated many students from the major branches in the secret realm, and after this series of events spread, it can be said that the face of Jixia Academy was greatly damaged.

But just when many people thought that the Jixia Academy had gone into decline, and there was no real genius among the younger generation of monks, they responded to the doubts with facts in this big competition, and at the same time reached a height of achievement that other sect forces could not reach.

However, if you really want to talk about it, people still feel that the Jixia Academy has not completely restored its dignity.

Because Lu Ping'an, who caused those incidents, also reached the semi-finals, and only by defeating him can Jixia Academy completely regain face.

Therefore, what people are looking forward to the most is the showdown between Lu Ping'an and Lu Qianqiu or Qi Yanyan.

And if you look at the four strong monks from the perspective of the four great powers, then the Dongyu Kingdom is the undoubted biggest winner, the Nanyun Kingdom and the Xichi Kingdom have all been wiped out, and the Beiji Kingdom is only left with one Gongsun Ying of the Beast Sect.

While this does not represent the full power of a country or power, it does mean a lot of things.

Sometimes, as long as there is a peerless genius, it can change the power structure within the country, and now that there are three Dongyu countries at once, then in the future in a few decades, they are very likely to have a significant impact on the entire Eastern Continent.

Of course, to put it in detail, Lu Ping'an and Lu Qianqiu are both from Cangwu Country.

No one would have thought that that small country could give birth to two top genius teenagers.

The most important thing is that they are still cousins, which makes people wonder, what is the mysterious origin of that little Lu family, or is there any special training method for the descendants of the family?

But almost everyone knows that there is a deep hatred between Lu Ping'an and Lu Qianqiu, otherwise, if the two of them can work together to revitalize the family, in the future, on the Eastern Continent, I am afraid that a strong family surnamed Lu will be born.

There are a lot of discussions and analyses about the top four of the big competition, but Lu Ping'an, as one of the parties, left the venue after the competition and returned to the temporary residence of Yunjianmen.

On the one hand, it is to recuperate from the injury, and on the other hand, it is to prepare for tomorrow's competition.

After all, no matter who he encounters, it will be a hard battle, and Lu Ping'an must face it in the best state.

And by nightfall, Lu Ping'an's physical condition had almost recovered.

So, he took out some beast cores from the storage bag and absorbed and refined them.

After consuming eight ground-level high-grade beast cores and fifty ground-level middle-grade beast cores, Lu Ping'an's cultivation realm successfully broke through to the eightfold Xuanyin realm!

Although he had only raised his realm to the seventh level of Xuanyin not long ago, he had not yet been able to fully adapt to the control, and now doing so seemed to be a bit of a rush, and it might cause damage to his body.

But just in case, to leave a hole card for himself, Lu Ping'an still chose to take risks, but only when he had to do so, he would use the power of Xuanyin Eightfold, under normal circumstances, he would only suppress the realm and use Xuanyin Sevenfold to fight.

At night, after Lu Ping'an adapted to the realm of Xuanyin Eightfold a little, he did not go deeper into his understanding, but walked to the open space in the courtyard and began to practice his sword.

In addition to the six-style sword moves of the first level of Sword Eighteen, Lu Ping'an still focused his cultivation on the second level of "Sword Seven".

As early as more than two months ago, Lu Ping'an had already practiced Jian Qi to the entry stage, but he had not been able to enter the Xiaocheng stage for a long time.

In Lu Ping'an's opinion, if he fails to achieve a small success, he is not mature enough, and it is difficult to achieve the power he wants.

This is also the reason why Lu Ping'an has not used Sword Seven since the start of the Four Kingdoms Competition.

However, Lu Ping'an practiced hard all night without stopping this time, and when the sky broke, he broke through this bottleneck.

"Finally cultivated to the stage of Xiaocheng!"

Lu Ping'an's eyes lit up, and his face was full of excitement and shouted.

Then, he turned his head to look at the sky that was gradually becoming brighter, and he was more confident about the next competition.

......

In the Dabi venue, the rest area of Yunjian Gate.

Lu Ping'an, as usual, sat quietly on a chair and waited for the competition to begin.

At this moment, Di Guangji walked towards Lu Ping'an, and the eyes of the other forty people also fell on Lu Ping'an.

Lu Ping'an got up and arched his hand: "Lord Di Feng." ”

Di Guangji nodded, and said earnestly: "Now we have the entire Cloud Sword Sect, but you are the only one left...... Although I don't want to put too much psychological pressure on you, there are some things, even if I don't say it, you should understand. ”

Lu Ping'an said: "Of course, as an elder of the sect, I will never embarrass the Cloud Sword Sect. ”

Di Guangji smiled and said: "You have reached the top four, even if you lose today, it is not a shame, but I believe that with your ambition, you will definitely not be satisfied with this achievement, and whether it is the head of the family or the Lord Mu Feng, they also have higher expectations for you." ”

Lu Ping'an said: "From the very beginning, I came for the first place in the big competition. ”

Di Guangji said: "Then do you know when the last time our Cloud Sword Sect won the first place in the Four Kingdoms Competition?"

Lu Ping'an shook his head and said, "I really haven't learned about this." ”

Di Guangji said: "It's been more than a hundred years, and the person who won the first place in Dabi at that time was none other than the Mu Peak Lord of your Cloud Peak. ”

Hearing this, Lu Ping'an and Meng Shaoyuan, who had just started, were quite surprised.

But Lu Ping'an thought about it, and seemed to understand why Mu Qing was sometimes so willful and casual, but he was still able to become the peak master.

In the face of strong enough talent and strength, the entire upper echelons of the Cloud Sword Sect, including the head of the sect, were able to tolerate her character to a certain extent.

Meng Shaoyuan couldn't help but exclaim: "I didn't expect my master to be so powerful? As her apprentice, I was eliminated early, which is really embarrassing!"

Di Guangji said: "With your strength, it is already very good to play such a result." And after all this time, not many people remember this for a long time, so no matter how bad your grades are, no outsiders will talk about it. ”

After learning about this, Lu Ping'an only felt that the burden on his shoulders became heavier again, and said, "It's really been too long." ”

Di Guangji said: "And in the more than 100 years since then, half of the top sects of the four major countries have won the first place in the big competition, and even the Jixia Sword Pavilion has won it once during this period. ”

Lu Ping'an's face was slightly condensed, and he said, "At that time, our Cloud Sword Sect should have been ridiculed by many people, right?"

Di Guangji smiled bitterly and said, "Well, of course. However, later, a hidden genius of our Cloud Sword Sect met the top spot in that big competition outside, and the two competed, and in the end it was our people who won. However, since there were only a few bystanders from the Xiaomen Sect at that time, the outside world did not believe that this matter was true. ”

Most of the people in the audience heard about this for the first time, and they couldn't help but be surprised, and at the same time, they were also full of curiosity about that hidden genius.

Lu Ping'an was silent for a while, then said: "Lord Di Feng, I understand what you said, I will do my best for the honor of Cloud Sword Sect!"

Di Guangji stretched out his hand and patted Lu Ping'an's shoulder, and said, "For the sake of the sect, and for yourself, fight hard!"

At the same time, everyone also looked at Lu Ping'an with blazing eyes, full of expectations for him.

Lu Ping'an arched his hand to everyone and said: "I, Lu Ping'an, will definitely live up to expectations!"

......

After a period of time, Lu Ping'an walked into the competition venue, and then walked to the place where the lot was drawn with the other three people who entered the top four.

Gongsun Ying said to Lu Ping'an with a flattering smile: "Brother Lu, we meet again, I really hope we can draw you." ”

Lu Ping'an thought to himself, aren't you talking nonsense? Everyone is here to draw lots for the top four, can you not meet?

At this time, Lu Qianqiu said: "Coincidentally, I also want to fight with my cousin, to be precise, I want to teach him a lesson in public." ”

Lu Ping'an's face sank, and he said, "You don't have to worry, even if we don't meet on Dabi, I will go to you to settle accounts!"

Lu Qianqiu said with a smile: "Well, with your strength, it is impossible to reach the finals, so if I am not drawn in this draw, I can only find another opportunity later, of course, I am also willing to give you a chance to humiliate yourself, who made me your cousin?"

Gongsun Yingxiu frowned slightly, obviously didn't like Lu Qianqiu's weird way of speaking, and said: "That maybe, if I fight him in the final, I will be very happy." ”

Lu Qianqiu said: "Miss Gongsun, you look very beautiful, but you also think beautifully, if the lottery situation is really like what you said, it will only be me and Elder Qi of our academy who won, and when the finals are over, you will sit under the stage and watch the people of our academy play." ”

Qi Yanyan, who looked like he was in his forties and didn't smile, stood by the side all the time, just ignoring the conversation between the three of them.

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a lottery holder stepped forward and said, "Don't gossip, start drawing lots." ”
