Chapter 196: The Gap

As soon as the results of the duel between the Sword Club and the Iron Fist Club came out, it caused a sensation in the entire academy that morning.

So much so that the competition between the Shepherd Club and the Flying Star Club was overshadowed in the afternoon.

The first first-year student in the history of Star Luo Academy to independently defeat the opponent's entire team in the club competition, this aura pressed on Du Mu's head, and suddenly made him dazzling.

On the way back to the dormitory, Du Mu could clearly feel that the students passing by around him were all looking at him, excited, adoring and curious, and some people stopped from time to time to look at him and whispered.

Not far away, several girls hugged each other, laughing and discussing for a while, but one of them walked towards him a little shyly.

Catching a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye, Du Mu's brows suddenly wrinkled, and he hurriedly quickened his pace.

He didn't want to be entangled by a few girls in public.

After a while, Du Mu finally returned to the dormitory smoothly, looked at the time, and found that it was still early, so he summoned Xiao Jiu and asked her to absorb the gray dream.

Xiao Jiu's combat strength has reached more than 900, and it is estimated that it will not take another seven or eight days to successfully break through to the four-star level.

After dinner, the night was getting dark, and Du Mu entered the dream to continue absorbing the mist.

As for the final of the club competition, it is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon.

......

The next day, Du Mu spent the whole morning in cultivation, and it wasn't until nearly one o'clock in the afternoon that he left for the competition venue.

The stadium was packed as usual, and more people watched the game than yesterday.

As soon as you step into the museum, you will be greeted by a lively and noisy atmosphere, and the voices of people will be boiling.

Du Mu's arrival caused a lot of commotion, many people's eyes lit up, and they were about to come forward to talk, and even some girls let out a scream of surprise and rushed towards him at a trot, but fortunately they were stopped by the members of the swordsmanship club who arrived in time.

When he returned to the waiting seat of the Sword Technique Club on the edge of the field, Du Mucai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Giggles, how does it feel to be famous?"

Du Shuang and Luo Yao were already sitting in their seats, and seeing Du Mu's relieved appearance, Luo Yao burst out laughing.

"That's an exaggeration. Du Mu shook his head, "I didn't see such a big impact during the ranking battle. ”

It's only been a day since yesterday's match, and he's already feeling how famous he is, and he didn't see it so much when he first won the rankings.

"That's different, the ranking battle is only a first-year competition in the end, and the club competition is already a college competition, don't look at its small scale, the impact is much higher than the ranking battle. ”

"After yesterday's game, you are already known to everyone in the whole academy. ”

Luo Yao said with a smile, "There are still a few second-grade girls who asked me for your contact information early this morning, but it's a pity that Xiaoshuang won't let me give it to them, otherwise you will have Yanfu now." ”

"Don't say anything superfluous. Du Shuang glared at her friend slightly, "You also know what kind of people those girls are, there is no need to let Ah Mu waste time dealing with them." ”

But men have to go through it before women become mature. ”

Luo Yao said something pointedly, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.

"Why don't you let me help Xiaomu become mature?

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

Du Mu almost choked on one breath, this topic is very bad.

Du Shuang's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at Luo Yao for a while, and suddenly reached out to press her cheek and rubbed it vigorously.

"Huh...... Wait...... Wait a minute....... Am I wrong...... Little Frost ...... Leave me alone......"

Luo Yao hurriedly said to forgive, and waited for Du Shuang to let go of his hand before patting his cheek, regaining his smiling expression, and holding her arm.

"Just kidding, I'm always single-minded about Xiaoshuang. ”

A look of helplessness appeared on Du Shuang's face: "Be serious." ”

"Eh, I'm serious!"

Du Mu: "......"

Looks like I was just fed a wave of dog food?

Pulling the corners of his mouth speechlessly, Du Mu turned around and sat down next to Du Shuang.

Not long after they sat down, Ding Tong and Feng Hanruo also arrived and said hello to Du Mu and the others.

After a while, Zou Tianrui appeared, came to the front, and handed the five people a piece of paper one by one, with five photos and a large paragraph of text on it.

"This is the information of the team members of the Shepherd Club who played today. ”

Zou Tianrui's gaze swept over the five people, and finally fell on Du Mu, and said in a deep voice, "The finals went smoothly as yesterday, and Du Mu's junior came first. ”

When the words fell, including Du Shuang, the eyes of the remaining four people turned to Du Mu.

Ding Tong looked strange, rubbed his nose, and said with a smile: "It seems that we don't have to play in the finals." ”

Feng Hanruo covered his mouth and chuckled: "It's the first time I've participated in such a relaxed club competition. ”

Du Shuang and Luo Yao didn't speak, but they looked at it with the same deep understanding.

Judging from the strength that Du Mu showed yesterday, maybe he can really penetrate the Shepherd Society.

Hearing this, a smile flashed on Zou Tianrui's face, and then he coughed and advised: "You still can't take it lightly, the second-grade Pei Ning is in the team of the Shepherd Society, he is a four-star middle-level martial artist, and the one-on-one Du Mu junior may not lose to him, but after the first four rounds of competition, the outcome is difficult to predict!"

The more Du Mu listened, the more wrong he became, how did he feel that the direction of the discussion seemed to have changed from winning the final to whether he could break through the Shepherd Club?

Stunned, Zou Tianrui patted him on the shoulder, said a few words of encouragement, and then turned around and left.

Sitting back in his seat, Du Mu began to browse through the information at hand, and the information of the five contestants of the Shepherd Club jumped into his eyes.

Pei Ning, second-year second-year, four-star intermediate.

Nina Ma, fifth in the second grade, four-star beginner.

Lei Yao, seventh in the second grade, is at the peak of three stars.

Miao Lianghang, the twelfth in the second grade, is at the peak of three stars.

Lei Kai, the second seat in the first grade, the third grade beginner.

Compared with the Iron Fist Club, the Shepherd Club's lineup is undoubtedly much stronger, among the four second-year members, the weakest has three-star peak strength, and even four-star martial artists have two.

His eyes swept over the top four people, Du Mu looked at Lei Kai's information, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion in his heart.

When he was in the ranking battle a few months ago, although his strength surpassed Lei Kai, he was only one step stronger, but now a few months later, he has left him far behind.

The three-star beginner level is already extremely good in the first grade, but compared with Du Mu's four-star high-level strength, it is a small thing.

The strength of the three-star beginner level, converted into combat power, is about 600 years, even if Du Mu does not use weapons and martial arts, he will not be able to make a move under him.

Du Mu here is sighing, and on the other side of the seat of the shepherd's house, the atmosphere is very solemn.

A group of members of the Shepherd Club stood or stood, looking at the Sword Club opposite, and their expressions showed a trace of heaviness without exception.

Ma Ruxin glanced at everyone, frowned, and finally couldn't stand it, and snorted coldly: "Look at your ridiculous appearance like a great enemy, as for it, it's just a first-year student!"

She turned her head to look at the vice president of the Shepherd Society, who had been facing away from everyone, and said in a condensed voice, "Senior, leave it to me, I will definitely defeat Du Mu!"

The vice president did not speak, nor did he turn around.

On the contrary, Pei Ning on the side spoke: "Xu Xiangming is a four-star beginner like you, and even he was defeated in the hands of Du Mu, how can you be an opponent?"

Ma Ruxin's face flashed with annoyance: "It's different, Xu Xiangming's ranking is lower than mine!"

"So what? Don't forget that in yesterday's game, Du Mu used his physical skills throughout the whole process, and he didn't use swordsmanship from beginning to end, and others didn't know Du Mu's swordsmanship level, but don't we know it yet? That guy's swordsmanship is not worse than physical skills!"

"Isn't it, Senior Brother Lei Kai?"

Speaking of the last sentence, Pei Ning turned his head and looked at Lei Kai meaningfully.

Lei Kai looked indifferent and clasped his arms silently.

Seeing this, the corners of Pei Ning's mouth twitched, he didn't care, looked at Ma Ruxin and continued: "Du Mu's true strength should have reached the four-star intermediate level, and he is good at both physical skills and swordsmanship, with your strength, the possibility of winning is very small!"

"Then what do you say you want to do?" Ma Ruxin sneered.

Pei Ning smiled and did not speak.

Ma Ruxin frowned, and wanted to speak, but was interrupted.

"Okay, that's it, don't get into the fight before it even starts, and make people laugh. ”

The vice president turned around, and his cold and sharp gaze swept over everyone one by one, and those who came into contact with his gaze lowered their eyes and did not dare to say more.

There was silence for a moment before the vice president withdrew his gaze and turned to leave.

When passing by Pei Ning's side, he paused and said in a deep voice: "I'll leave it to you, don't let me and the president down." ”

"Don't worry, senior!" Pei Ning nodded with a positive color.

Ma Ruxin frowned and looked at this scene, shocked in their hearts.

Could it be that Pei Ning still has some hole cards hidden?

Can you change the unfavorable situation in front of you and let the shepherd win?

I wanted to ask, but Ma Ruxin couldn't pull her face, so she had to hold back her doubts.

......

The time quickly came to two o'clock, and the whole stadium fell silent as a sharp electronic chime sounded.

Under the watchful eye, Du Mu slowly got up from his seat and walked towards the venue.

Not surprisingly, the first person on the Shepherd's side was Lei Kai, who had a battle with him.

Looking at Du Mu, Lei Kai's eyes showed a complicated color.

Once upon a time, he always thought that he was the strongest among the new students, and he despised Du Mu as a commoner from the bottom of his heart, even if the latter made the shepherd a trick and made the shepherd society face a huge compensation crisis, he didn't take Du Mu to heart.

Until the final of the ranking battle, Du Mu slapped him in the face with his strength, allowing him to taste the first real defeat in his life.

After that, Lei Kai turned his setbacks into motivation, cultivated more and more desperately, and used the large amount of pyroxene obtained from the ruins in the north, and successfully broke through to the three-star level not long ago.

After learning that Du Mu had joined the Sword Society, he once thought that his chance to be ashamed had come, as long as he defeated Du Mu in the club competition, the title of first-grade chief would return to him.

Unfortunately, things didn't go the way he expected!

In the battle with the Iron Fist Club, Du Mu's strength completely shattered his self-confidence and pride.

Four-star intermediate!

This is a martial arts realm that is out of reach at this stage!

If Lei Kai was given another year, he would be confident that he would reach such heights, but right now, breaking through to the three-star star was already the result of his desperate cultivation.

Such a huge gap between the two sides made Lei Kai unable to even produce unwilling emotions.

Despite the despair of the gap between the two sides, he still did not intend to give up this battle, the martial arts path was full of thorns and difficulties, and without a strong will to face the difficulties, it would be impossible to reach the peak of the martial arts.

"Even if my strength is not as good as yours, I will not back down!" Lei Kai clenched the long sword in his hand.

Du Mu looked up, his gaze happened to collide with Lei Kai's gaze full of fighting intent, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, pursed his lips and groaned for a while, and then slowly pulled out the long sword at his waist.

Shooting with all your strength is the greatest respect for this kind of opponent.

A high-pitched electronic chime soon echoed over the arena, signaling that the battle had begun.

However, the two sides of the battle stood strangely in place and did not move, everyone looked intently, and found that the long sword in Lei Kai's hand was already trembling, and an obvious buzzing sound suddenly sounded in the air, and in the next second, a bright electric current burst out violently, wrapping around the sharp sword body.

"Do you use a trick as soon as you play?"

Off the field, Pei Ning raised his eyebrows and muttered in a low voice.

He turned his head to look at Du Mu, who had raised his long sword high above his head, his two upper arms bulging out, and the sleeves of his uniform arms were stretched tightly, apparently as a prelude to some kind of charged sword technique.

Although the momentum is not as vast as Lei Kai's, a palpitating momentum spreads, even if it is dozens of meters away, Pei Ning can feel a faint sense of oppression, which makes him involuntarily take a breath of cold air.

Countless spectators stared intently at the two on the field, lest they miss their encounter.

Many students with good memory have already reacted, isn't this scene the scene where Du Mu and Lei Kai collided in the final of the ranking battle?

Unexpectedly, the original showdown scene was actually repeated again at the club competition.

It's a pity that the difference in strength between the two sides can be seen even by students who have no eyesight.

said that it was accumulating, but in fact, it was only less than three or four seconds, and with the whistling sound of tearing the air, the two people, who were originally more than ten meters apart, crossed the distance in the blink of an eye, and collided together like cannonballs.

Rumble!

A deafening explosion erupted, and the furious energy centered on the two of them, spreading out in all directions, kicking up a cloud of dust.

However, after only a stalemate of less than half a second, Lei Kai flew back upside down like an arrow from the string, and fell heavily on the floor outside the white line, and when he got up again, there was still a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth.

After standing firm, Lei Kai glanced at Du Mu deeply, and then turned around and left without saying a word.

"It's a pity, why do you have to be tough and tough, how good is it to fight guerrillas?"

"The difference in strength is too far!

"Yes, it's more than one big realm. ”

There was a lot of discussion in the audience.

On the field, staring at Lei Kai's back, until he disappeared from view, Du Mu retracted his gaze, turned his head to look at the Iron Fist Club opposite, and said calmly.

"Next. ”
