Chapter Seventy-Seven: Former Rivals
Su Ming didn't have any timidity because of the assassination incident just now, he had killed a lot of people in the plot world and fought with many people, so he wouldn't have flinched because of such a thing.
On the contrary, he saw some of his shortcomings from the discussion just now.
Not only is he inferior to Xie Zhisheng in the realm, but even his kendo cultivation is not as good as him, first of all, he can fuse his true qi in the Thousand Mountains Sword Technique, which he can't do, even if it is the Fire Thunder Sword Technique, he can only use a few moves.
The second is stability, Xie Zhisheng's sword moves are too stable, without a trace of trembling, this stability brings about a great increase in the power and speed of the sword moves, and it is more accurate.
Xie Zhisheng was able to do these two things, mainly because he had been honing his swordsmanship for decades, he was now thirty-six years old, and his cultivation was stuck in the acquired eightfold, but his comprehension of the sword was constantly increasing.
It seems that he should not pursue the improvement of the realm for the time being, but to raise the control of swordsmanship to a higher level.
Thinking of this, Su Ming had already secretly made up his mind.
The first round of screening ended quickly, and there were more than eighty inner disciples, most of whom were acquired sixfold martial artists, and these ordinary people passed the screening, and there were forty people who entered the next round, which was the result of intentional control.
These 40 people will compete in pairs, and the winner can continue to advance, and the loser will lose the qualification for the competition.
Su Ming was called by name in the first group of the second round, and his opponent was none other than Chu Yunyang, who won his own in the big competition of the outer disciples.
On the viewing platform, Rong Yunhe said with a smile: "These two little guys were opponents of each other in the outer door competition half a year ago, but I didn't expect the two to meet again. ”
Zhou Baiqi asked curiously: "How did you win or lose in the last competition?" ”
Rong Yunhe replied, "Chu Yunyang is slightly better. ”
Zhou Bai nodded and said, "He is also two years older than Su Ming, as long as Su Ming's cultivation and entry speed can keep up with Chu Yunyang, his future achievements will be unlimited." ”
On the martial arts arena, Chu Yunyang looked at Su Ming and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Su, I didn't expect us to meet again." ”
Su Ming smiled and said, "Senior Brother Chu thinks I can't pass the first round of assessment?" ”
Chu Yunyang laughed and said, "I just entered the sixth level of the day after tomorrow not long ago, and I also have a unique sword technique, so I was lucky enough to pass the assessment, I know that Senior Brother Su has superior qualifications, but I originally thought that Senior Brother Su might be worse." ”
Chu Yunyang said calmly, but he didn't hide anything, Su Ming said with a smile: "Then Senior Brother Chu is wrong. ”
An outer gate elder shouted to start, and the two entered the competition.
Chu Yunyang held the wooden sword in his hand, took a little step, turned into a long shadow, came to Su Ming, and stabbed out with a sword.
Canghai swordsmanship.
It is a few points stronger than the Thousand Mountains Sword Technique, and it is the nemesis of the Thousand Mountains Sword Technique.
However, with this move, Su Ming dodged the attack on the side of his body.
The next moment, Chu Yunyang changed his move in time, and a sword slashed out, slashing at Su Ming's neck.
Su Ming dodged an iron plate bridge, Chu Yunyang drew an arc with his long sword, and three sword lights flashed, enveloping Su Ming in it.
But Su Ming's body was distorted, and he dodged all his sword moves at an unbelievable angle.
Chu Yunyang attacked again, and his sword moves turned into streamers, attacking the vital points around Su Ming's body.
But the next moment, Su Ming's body twisted, and he had already opened the distance.
No matter how Chu Yunyang attacked, he couldn't touch the corners of Su Ming's clothes at all.
Seeing this scene, Chu Yunyang's face was full of horror, and Zhou Baiqi on the viewing platform said: "The gap between the two is so big, what realm is this Su Ming now?" ”
Rong Yunhe shook his head and said, "I don't know, half a year ago or the day after tomorrow fivefold, half a year, at most the day after tomorrow sixfold, right?" ”
This rhetorical question was asked to Lei Huan next to him, and Lei Huan said with a smile: "Su Ming, he is already the seventh day after tomorrow." ”
The day after tomorrow sevenfold?
There were less than twenty people in the entire inner gate, and many of them were through taking pills, which took several years, and they broke through when they were almost thirty years old.
In the Qingqiu Sect, the upper age limit of a disciple is thirty years old, and when they reach thirty, they have to take up duties within the sect.
The eightfold outer gate elder of the day after tomorrow, the ninefold inner gate elder of the day after tomorrow, if he can't reach this realm, then he will have to go to the Qingqiu faction to serve as a steward in various industries, which is also a fat difference.
Therefore, in the sect, the acquired sevenfold is already regarded as the backbone, and it has only accumulated eighty people over the years, most of whom are scattered in various industries.
Unexpectedly, Su Ming was only seventeen years old, and he had already reached the seventh level of cultivation the day after tomorrow.
Everyone was surprised, and Chu Yunyang's heart fell to the bottom, and there was a huge sense of loss in his heart.
At the moment when Chu Yunyang's heart was shaken, the long sword in Su Ming's hand suddenly came out of its sheath, and a cold light swept through, passing through Chu Yunyang's sword net and hitting his heart.
An ordinary move, without using any true qi, defeated Chu Yunyang.
If it was in the past, Su Ming couldn't do it, but now that Chu Yunyang's mind is broken, Su Ming can decide the victory with one sword.
Chu Yunyang said with some frustration: "Senior Brother Su, I lost. ”
Half a year ago, the two fought each other, and he could still beat him by one and a half moves, but now, he didn't have any backhand, and he couldn't even touch the corners of his clothes.
Su Ming withdrew his long sword and said, "Senior brother has conceded." ”
Chu Yunyang shook his head and turned to leave, feeling depressed, afraid that it would be difficult to get through this level for a long time.
At the end of the competition, the elder of the outer gate shouted loudly: "In the first group of the second round, Su Ming won." ”
Su Ming returned to the team with his sword, and Zhu Qing asked in surprise, "Su Ming, what kind of cultivation are you?" ”
The other senior brothers also tilted their heads, curious about what realm Su Ming was in now, and why he was able to defeat his opponent so easily.
Su Ming said with a smile: "The day after tomorrow is sevenfold." ”
Zhu Qing immediately covered his heart and said, "I was only promoted to the seventh day after tomorrow last year, but you were already seven years old at the age of seventeen, you are really more popular than people." ”
Zhu Qing is already twenty-four, twenty-three last year, six years later than Su Ming.
Moreover, Zhu Qing practiced martial arts at the age of twelve, four years earlier than Su Ming, and ten years slower than one after the other.
Even the senior brother Zhou Bai, who had always been expressionless, had a twitch at the corner of his mouth, his advance speed was even slower, and he was not as good as Zhu Qing.
Su Ming's qualifications shocked everyone, but it also made the sect pay more attention to him, and they planned to cultivate him well.
On the viewing platform, Chen Yun said softly: "Rong'er, his qualifications are much better than you at the beginning." ”
Su Yurong's eyes flashed with sadness, but then she said with a smile: "Of course, otherwise how can I see it." ”
Chen Yun's eyes narrowed, and then he said: "I mean, the sect should vigorously cultivate him, and you should not harass him in the future." ”
Su Yurong's expression froze, and her face became very ugly.
