Nie Lianhuan never expected that Ling Tian's swordsmanship would be so subtle that it stabbed directly at the hilt of the sword in his hand.

It's nothing if it's just a stab, but at this moment, Nie Lianhuan suddenly felt that his arm was "shaking", and he was instantly paralyzed, and the Xuanjian in his hand fell to the ground.

Ling Tian turned around sharply, released his Xuan Qi, and took advantage of Nie Lianhuan's face full of surprise, and slapped Nie Lianhuan's left shoulder with a palm.

I saw him scream, flew straight out ten meters away, and fell to pieces.

In fact, if it were a challenger in the past, the excellent assassination opportunity just now would not be missed.

However, Ling Tian did not make a move, but chose to hit the opponent with the force of his palm to show that he had the chance to win.

After Nie Lianhuan got up from the ground, pressed his left shoulder, picked up his Xuanjian, and said to Ling Tian with a little awe,

"Brother Ling Tian, thank you for not killing!"

"You're welcome!"

Ling Tian knew that according to the rules of the Qunying Pavilion, even if Nie Lianhuan was defeated, he only needed to take Zhang Heng's position and continue to sit firmly in the Yellow Level Palace.

Therefore, Nie Lianhuan had nothing to complain about, as long as Ling Tian didn't kill him, it was already the greatest kindness to him.

If you want to change to the challenger of the past, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will inevitably kill the killer.

However, what shocked Nie Lianhuan the most was Ling Tian's strength, which was really terrifying.

With his cultivation in the Wind Calling Realm, Ling Tian could still win so easily.

However, this was strange, when the eight of them were discussing whether or not they should let Ling Tian enter the Heroes Pavilion to challenge, except for the Heaven Level, the other six people unanimously agreed that Ling Tian's cultivation did not surpass Hu Feng.

What's more, in the entire promotion competition, Ling Tian didn't have any other new moves except for the move he had been using to fake death to kill people.

Could it be that this guy has been deliberately hiding his strength?

Even if he reaches the Yellow Level Palace, can't he force his true strength?

These questions had been echoing in Nie Lianlian's mind, because he thought about it carefully, from just now, whether it was against Zhang Heng or against himself, Ling Tian had indeed not used any new moves.

They all won them with their exquisite swordsmanship.

According to Nie Lianhuan's experience, there are only two kinds of people in this situation, one is the person with the best luck, because if you want to find a momentary weakness and then win with one blow, this is definitely not something that ordinary strong people can do, and the other is the top master whose swordsmanship has been honed for at least decades.

The swordsmanship must be at least at Qin Hai's level.

Is this possible?

Who is Qin Hai? Who doesn't know, who doesn't know, is the personal disciple of the great master Jiang Shang.

Nie Lianhuan wondered if he was crazy enough to compare Ling Tian with such a master.

But is there anything else that is possible?

After Nie Lianhuan came back to his senses, he found that Ling Tian had already left the Yellow Level Palace and headed to the next challenge point.

······

In the gambling house.

Just when everyone was disturbing, suddenly, a reporter ran in in a panic, and in front of everyone in it, shouted loudly,

Ling ······ Ling Tian successfully passed the Yellow Level Palace!"

"What?"

"No wonder the gambling house's bet on the Yellow Level Palace is so low, only one to two. ”

"I kind of think that this kid will be able to successfully defeat the two masters of the Xuan level. ”

"I don't think so. ”

"No, I also think it's very possible, don't look at this kid is very young, haven't you heard of it, he is the guy who fought against Fang Yan, the son of the city lord, in the Yuanwu Academy, and I also heard that Fang Yan was defeated in the end and died of poisoning. ”

"Hey, how powerful Fang Yan is, we don't know, what about the son of the city lord, how many sons of the city lord are desolate in this world. ”

Everyone had their own opinions, but in the end, there were still many people who supported Ling Tian's victory.

This is also exactly what the dealer wants, he is waiting for this moment.

The odds of the Yellow Level Palace are only one to two, and they only need to lose a little money in the gambling house, and when they wait until the Xuan Level Palace, they will win it back with interest.

······

In the Pavilion of Heroes.

At this time, Ling Tian was walking by a lotus pond, and according to the instructions in the booklet, this was the only way to go to the Xuan-level Palace.

But suddenly, he saw a person standing under the inconspicuous tree in front of him.

Ling Tian approached quickly with a little curiosity, because since he entered the Qunying Pavilion, he had never met a person on the road, except in the palace.

When he was less than ten meters away from the man, the man's white clothes reminded him of someone.

At this moment, the other party suddenly spoke, and turned around directly,

"Brother Ling Tian, you can be counted as here. ”

Sure enough, Ling Tian didn't guess wrong, the other party was the scholar.

But unlike the one I saw today, the scholar in front of him was more like what he met yesterday, his cultivation was not high, and he only had the realm of refining gods.

"I don't know, are you looking for me for something?" Ling Tian asked.

"Of course there is, I know the purpose of Brother Ling Tian's trip, as you said at the beginning, you want to come to the Qunying Pavilion to win the first place of the Son of Heaven, at that time I thought you were too arrogant, so I didn't think so, after all, everyone has always been here for this goal, but when I saw your fake death move, I immediately looked at you differently," the scholar paused and said with a smile.

"I was just lucky," Ling Tian said.

"Luck may really have to be a little bit, but in the ring competition, especially in the competition of life and death, strength is king, your move of fake death seems to be very ordinary, but if the cultivation and martial arts do not reach the top of the realm, it is impossible to make it, not to mention, I think I have seen a lot of martial arts in the world, but I am very unfamiliar with Ling Tian's move, it is conceivable that this is your own alone, it can be seen that your strength is so bottomless.

Since I realized this, I have this scene today, and I met you here," the scholar said politely.

"I don't know yet, what are you looking for me for?" Ling Tian was already getting more and more curious about what the other party said.

"I don't know how much you know about the Qunying Pavilion, but to tell you the truth, the current Qunying Pavilion is no longer the Qunying Pavilion of the past," the scholar sighed.

"Why is that," Ling Tian asked, he always felt that the scholar was not simple, and he didn't expect that the other party was also a member of the Qunying Pavilion.

The scholar fanned the white paper fan and sighed,

"This has to start from five years ago, a person named Huang Liang suddenly broke into the Qunying Pavilion, Huang Liang at that time was indeed powerful enough, after defeating one of the prefecture-level palace masters, he has been sitting firmly in the prefecture-level palace for five years, and in the past five years, no one has ever challenged the prefecture-level palace again, almost all of them have been defeated in the Xuan-level palace, do you know why this is the case?"
