Chapter 30: A gust of wind

In the fifth game of the first round, Bu Feng fought against Chai Qiao.

Chai Qiao had been unknown before, but it was only a few months ago that this name suddenly appeared on the list of people's ranks, and it attracted people's attention.

This person has only been in the Backing Mountain Branch for less than three years, and when he entered, he was not yet the peak of the Martial Sect, according to his current age of forty-two, he was at least nearly forty years old when he entered the Backing Mountain Branch, which can be regarded as a strange thing.

You must know that entering the Qianqing Academy requires the recommendation of local officials, and these officials are not stupid, most of the recommended people are young people with good talent and high potential, so the vast majority of martial arts who can enter the Qianqing Academy are not too old, usually between ten and thirty years old, and very few are over thirty years old. For example, Xiang Fang, who is now standing next to Qi An, was thirty-one years old when he entered the academy, and he was already considered an older student.

Because most of the martial sects who have just joined the Qianqing Academy are new martial sects or powerful martial sects, they are quite far from the peak martial sects, let alone monks. The main purpose of the establishment of the Qianqing Academy was to train Wuzong into monks, and then send them to various departments of the court or the army.

But if Wu Zong wants to break through and be promoted, it takes a lot of time to accumulate. According to the data that the Qianqing Academy has mastered over the years, usually if a new martial artist wants to become a monk, it will take as little as five to ten years, and at most more than ten or even twenty years, and there are also some people who lack talent and talent, and they are trapped in the realm of martial arts all their lives, and they cannot break through for the rest of their lives. Therefore, the Qianqing Academy did not require students to become monks before they could leave, as long as they stayed for three years, felt that their talent was not enough, and their hopes were slim, they could leave on their own.

Students who have not become monks can stay in the Qianqing Academy all the time, as long as they can afford to pay two jade coins a year, but the vast majority of students will not stay in the Qianqing Academy for a short time, unless they see no hope, or are anxious to make contributions, they will choose to leave without becoming a monk.

Usually those who can stay in the academy for ten years are old students, and the old students of the Backing Mountain Branch are not few, take Wei Ying, who just lost to Murong Qing, for example, when she entered the Backing Mountain Branch, she was only in her early twenties, and she had just become a martial artist.

And Chai Qiao was nearly forty years old when he entered the academy, and he was not even the peak martial sect, and when he became a monk, he was afraid that he would have already half of the ground, such a person actually did not have much cultivation value, whether it was the academy or the court, he would not pay attention to it.

At present, most of the students in the backing branch are between 20 and 40 years old, and there are very few who are more than forty years old, less than the number of hands, although Chai Qiao is on the human ranks, but the "advanced age" of forty-two is indeed not very enviable, and his reputation is far less than that of his opponent Bu Feng.

Bu Feng is a native of the backing county town, it is said that at the age of eighteen he became a congenital martial artist, at the age of nineteen he entered the backing mountain branch, at the age of twenty-two he entered the life and death lane people-level list, at the age of twenty-three he became the top of the human-level list, and then occupied that position for three consecutive years until today, no one can shake it, and the results are extremely short-lived, which is really amazing.

When Qi An saw the results of the ranking of Life and Death Lane a long time ago, he was attracted by the name "Bu Feng", so he guessed that this was a speed-type martial sect that was very good at body skills, and when he broke into Life and Death Lane, he didn't fight those war puppets at all, and directly relied on the incomparable speed of his body to dodge and intercept attacks, so as to quickly pass the level, otherwise it would be impossible to have a single-digit result.

In fact, Qi An's guess was completely correct, Bu Feng claimed to be the fastest martial arts master in the entire backing mountain branch, and even the three on the ground list were not as good as him, nicknamed "a gust of wind", as long as his body technique was used, it was like a breeze blowing, and then he disappeared.

As the saying goes, "the world's martial arts, only fast is not broken", the terrible thing about Bu Feng is that he is fast, many innate martial arts sects who have fought with him were defeated in a short period of time, and they couldn't react at all. There are even many people who say that Bu Feng's strength is no longer below the three masters of the earth list, because since Bu Feng achieved an amazing result of five breaths three years ago, he has never broken through the alley of life and death, and now three years have passed, it is likely that he has the strength to pass the prefecture-level difficulty.

So as soon as Bu Feng took the stage, many people began to whisper, speculating about how quickly Bu Feng would be able to end the fight, and almost everyone agreed that it would not exceed ten breaths at most.

When the top ten champions were introduced before, Bu Feng and Chai Qiao were empty-handed, and they didn't know what their weapons were, but at this time, on the stage, they showed off their weapons one after another.

The weapon of Chai Qiao is two black iron thorns, the length is very short, less than one foot, the middle is thick, the two ends are pointed, and it is a relatively rare Qimen weapon. Usually it is hidden in the sleeve like Wei Ying's iron ruler, and it is only taken out when needed.

But Bu Feng's weapon didn't know where it was taken from, but as soon as he raised his hand, there was a small short knife the size of a dagger in his hand, and the material of Huang Chengcheng should not be iron, and I don't know if it was gold or copper.

The short knife swirled in Bu Feng's hand, and he said to Chai Qiao: "You strike first, if I make the first move, I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to make a move." ”

"It's okay, it's better for you to come first!" Chai Qiao, who was not good-looking, did not move, and responded: "If you are really that fast, even if I make the first move, the result will still be the same, there is not much difference!"

"That's right, you have to be careful!" The spinning short knife stopped in Bu Feng's hand, and he held it back, just waiting for the words to fall, and then Bu Feng's figure disappeared.

Almost instantly, the vanished Bu Feng appeared in front of Chai Qiao, and the short knife wiped towards the opponent's neck with a lingering image.

But Chai Qiao's reaction was not slow, with two stabs in his hands, one defense and one attack, and he could actually launch a counterattack while blocking the short knife.

It's just that as soon as he moved, Bu Feng disappeared again, and Chai Qiao, who was very accurate, didn't think about it, and immediately turned around, and stabbed forward with the weapon in his hand.

But Chai Qiao didn't see anyone, the back was empty, there was not even a ghost shadow, and when he was confused, he suddenly felt a chill in his neck, and a knife had been put on his throat, and the cold blade stabbed Chai Qiao's heart cold.

"Sure enough, it's fast!" Chai Qiao smiled bitterly, withdrew the double thorns in his hand into his sleeve, and jumped off the stage very simply.

The whole process is shockingly fast, from Bu Feng's shot to the knife to his throat, there is less than two breaths before and after, and then the victory and defeat have been divided.

In fact, Chai Qiao's induction at that time was not wrong, Bu Feng did go around behind him, but when Chai Qiao turned around, Bu Feng went around again, and the speed difference between the two was too much, and Chai Qiao couldn't keep up at all, so he was defeated in an instant.

The length and width of the entire martial arts platform are nine zhang each, and the two of them stand in a diagonal position, almost seven or eight zhang apart in the middle, and Bu Feng's figure flashed, and he arrived in front of Chai Qiao almost in the blink of an eye, this speed is obviously at least twice as fast as the ordinary peak martial arts, it is simply unguardable, and its threat is completely not below the three masters on the ground list, and it is even more difficult to prevent.

In an exclamation, the first round of elimination matches finally ended, except for Huang Jue and Wu Laoshi, the other four games were very fast, and the fastest was naturally the fifth battle between Bu Feng and Chai Qiao.

The five winners were: Li Hongluo, Murong Qing, Wu Laoshi, Wang Sheng, and Bu Feng.

These five will play in the second round.

In order to save everyone's time, the ring competition of Qianqing Academy has always been a single-game elimination system, and there is never a round-robin match, but there are five people in the second round, which means that there will be one bye and advance directly.

The five people who won the first round were invited to the stage, each of them put a knee-high small bamboo basket in front of them, and all the students who watched the scene were issued an arrow by the stewards, who everyone is most optimistic about, they will throw the arrows into the small bamboo basket in front of this person, and finally count the number, the one who gets the most arrows, the second round does not need to participate in the competition, and directly advances.

The results came out quickly, and it was not too unexpected, it was Murong Qing who received the most votes, after all, he defeated a new monk hard, the difference in the number of votes between Li Hongluo and Bu Feng was not too much, ranking second or third respectively, Wang Sheng's votes were much worse than the top three, and the few arrows were only in single digits, and the bamboo basket in front of Wu Laoshi was empty, and he didn't get a single vote.

Although Wu Laoshi has also been on the human level list, and he has also defeated Huang Jue, who is now ranked third on the human level list, he is definitely a master in the peak martial arts sect of the entire backer branch, but compared to the other four, there is still a relatively obvious gap. Murong Qing and Li Hongluo don't talk about it, the gold content of the prefecture-level list and the human-level list is not at the same level at all, and Bu Feng and Wang Sheng also have their own strengths, one is extremely fast, the other is extremely powerful, on the other hand, Wu Laoshi is too mediocre and does not have anything too handy.

Like most people, Qi An is also indecisive among the three of Murong Qing, Li Hongluo, and Bu Feng, judging from the results of the Lane of Life and Death, Li Hongluo is the best, and in terms of combat performance, Murong Qing, who has just defeated the real monk, is more convincing, but if he encounters Bu Feng, who is a perverted speed, everything is possible.

In the end, Qi An still voted the arrow in his hand to Li Hongluo, not because of the judgment of strength, but because she was the only woman among the five, usually women are weak in Qi An's mind, but the woman did not let the Li Hongluo with the eyebrows make him admire it very much, so in the case of not judging the superiority of the three, Qi An voted for Li Hongluo.
