What was incomprehensible was that Ling Tian's cultivation was obviously only in the middle stage of quenching, how could he have mastered such a profound and subtle martial art.

The move just now was definitely beyond the cognitive range of these quenching realm students.

Even the city lord, who was watching from the sidelines and was silent, narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes were full of doubts, and he secretly thought, "At a young age, I actually have such an excellent martial art, and I have practiced martial arts for decades, and I have never seen it, could it be some kind of peerless martial arts?"

"Hmph, that's what will happen to me!"

Ling Tian held the Xuan Sword aloft, and a cold aura on the sword's body instantly soaked into Huang Li's whole body, making Huang Li's body shiver.

"You..... You...... You don't want to kill me in front of everyone, do you...... This is a felony that will be committed in Azure City......"

Ling Tian really didn't expect that this Huang Li's courage would be so small, in his memory, Huang Li only graduated from Yuanwu Academy when he was thirty years old, even so, he still stayed in the Fang family, and he obeyed the city lord Fang Fei, and his courage became bigger and bigger, how he died in the end, Ling Tian didn't remember.

At that time, he was no longer in Yuanwu Academy, and his cultivation with Huang Li was already very different.

Even so, Ling Tian still refused to let him go, the combination of evil words was really hateful, the so-called Shi was bearable, which was unbearable.

At this moment, the muscles on Ling Tian's right arm bulged slightly, and he instantly slashed the Xuanjian towards Huang Li's neck.

"Ah......h

Huang Li screamed in great panic, closed his eyes tightly, and thought that he was already in a different place.

However, when he only felt a chill in his neck, he reached out and touched it, and found that it was Xuanjian, which made him have to open his eyes, and found that Ling Tian had only cut a small hole on the surface of his skin, and it did not hurt the vital point, Huang Li breathed a sigh of relief.

"Bastard Ling Tian, you dare to humiliate me in public, today's shame, I will definitely pay you back in the future!

Huang Li grimaced his face and was extremely angry, but he didn't dare to look at Ling Tian with this kind of hatred, fearing that Ling Tian would really cut down his sword.

"Forget it, spare your life today, and let's accumulate some virtue in the future, Huang Li. ”

With that, Ling Tian put away his sword and walked back to the martial arts arena again.

Afterwards, Shuang'er also sat in the audience, and the angle of the position was very good, neither high nor low, just in time to see Ling Tian's ring.

"Brother, come on!"

Since she had just seen Ling Tian's outstanding martial arts, Shuang'er felt even more that her brother would definitely win the first place again this time.

You know, there is a reward for the first place, and the reward is ten gold coins, which is equivalent to 100,000 yuan.

Maybe for others, reputation is more important than money, but for Shuang'er, reputation is important, but money is definitely much more important than fame, recalling when she was a child, she and Ling Tian have always lived a hard life without support, and her brother Ling Tian will give the best things to his sister every time, which also makes Shuang'er recall these past events, and her heart is full of bitterness.

······

In the ring.

In this first game, it was Ling Tian who took the lead, and as for his opponent, he was already waiting on the stage.

Ling Tian stepped under his feet, and the light movement flew up to the ring and landed steadily.

However, Ling Tian also noticed that the other party was still holding a short knife in his hand, and if this knife was exposed to the sun, it would glow with a shallow blue light, which showed that this was definitely not an ordinary weapon.

However, everyone knows that in the assessment and competition during their tempering period, it is strictly forbidden to carry weapons to the stage.

"Teacher, there are rules in the game, no weapons are allowed, this guy has committed a foul!" Ling Tian stretched out his finger, pointed directly at the other party, and said.

"This ······ ？”

In fact, the teacher didn't know how to explain it, and suddenly became slumped.

"Everyone, be quiet, listen to me," just as everyone was talking, City Lord Fang Fei, who was sitting in the most conspicuous position, suddenly said.

Although he was smiling at this time, he was smiling with a knife hidden in his smile, Ling Tian had already heard of this city lord's personality, his insidious, old and spicy, was definitely a genius in this regard.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the second round of assessment regulations of Yuanwu Academy this time are different from previous years, the so-called advancing with the times, our Yuanwu Academy, as the most famous higher martial arts school in Azure City, is naturally no exception, if we have been sticking to the rules, how can we give birth to outstanding talents.

Therefore, I have discussed it with all the teachers of Yuanwu Academy, and we have unanimously agreed that this second round of martial arts competition is a weapon," Fang Fei stroked the beard on his chin and said with a smile.

"But we usually cultivate, and the teachers rarely teach us how to use weapons, how can we take the test?"

At this time, a question suddenly came from the field.

"Please rest assured that this point, because of this, everyone is not familiar with it, isn't the danger greatly reduced, not to mention, since it is a weapon competition, it should be pointed, if anyone shoots too hard and hurts the opponent, then the teachers and I will also punish them severely," Fang Fei explained in a pretending righteous manner.

Perhaps to some onlookers, such a rule is fair.

No, it should be said that it is too fair.

However, in Ling Tian's opinion, this may not mean this, it is obvious that the opponent in front of him is definitely a person who is very good at using short knives, just by the fact that the opponent has been holding the knife for many years, resulting in obvious calluses on his hands.

As for the words of the city lord, when applied to Ling Tian at this time, it can actually be understood in a different way.

That is, if Ling Tian's opponent seriously injured him with a weapon, then this person must be punished, of course, the so-called serious injury naturally includes manslaughter.

In fact, Ling Tian thought that this time, Fang Yan would also send people from their family to secretly come to the stage, maybe they considered that someone was discussing this matter behind their backs, so this time they learned to be obedient and directly found someone from the academy.

Ling Tian finally remembered that the person in front of him had deliberately beaten a poor student to death half a year ago, and was almost pulled out by Fang Fei for punishment.

After that, for unknown reasons, the person remained in prison until recently, and was not released until recently.

It is said that the opponent's martial arts talent is also very high, and he is definitely not worse than Zhang Meng.

At this time, Ling Tian heard about this person's cultivation from the students who were discussing in the audience, and he entered the late stage of quenching.

Although it sounded like his strength was not as good as Zhang Meng's, Ling Tian knew that the power of sword skills was not only based on the individual's own cultivation level, but also required repeated practice to make the weapon a part of the body.
