Chapter 23: One Step Away

"Is this kid already so strong?"

"You can defeat an inner court disciple in an instant, and the salted fish has really turned over!"

"He was originally a disciple of the inner court, and in the past three years, he has just traveled to the shallows, and the tiger has fallen to Pingyang. ”

"But a dragon is a dragon after all, and a tiger is a tiger after all!

The disciples of the outer courtyard were full of emotion.

Among them, many of the outer court disciples who had mocked and humiliated Xu Guangming in the past three years couldn't help but be ashamed at the moment.

The boy who had been ridiculed and despised by them had once again become an existence that they could look up to.

......

Xu Guangming walked out of the small universe and exhaled a long breath,

Still, he knows it's not the time to relax.

The next two rounds of assessment are the most critical, and no one knows the result until the end.

In the past, there were also some powerful disciples of the outer court who had bad luck, or had a grudge against a certain disciple of the inner court.

Failing the assessment at the last minute makes it difficult to be promoted.

After a short break, he continued with the fourth round of the draw, this time being placed in the 100th small universe.

As soon as he stepped into the small universe, he saw a sturdy man with a dark complexion and strange tattoos on his face.

Xu Guangming hurriedly guarded.

The man smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "I, Wang Honglie, a native of Southern Zhao, am entrusted by my younger brother Wang Yuanba,

I shouldn't have embarrassed you!"

"But I want to see your secret techniques with my own eyes, and I hope you don't get weird!"

When Xu Guangming heard this, he realized that this Wang Honglie really looked a little similar to Wang Yuanba.

Xu Guangming has already seen it with his eye of insight,

This Wang Honglie is a genuine level 2 martial artist, and the martial soul in his body has already mutated.

Xu Guangming had just defeated a level 1 martial artist, and he happened to want to compete with a level 2 martial artist, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Please!"

"Then you're welcome!"

Wang Honglie smiled, and pulled out a blood-red big knife from his back, which looked like a spirit-level horcrux, which was not comparable to ordinary mortal-level horcruxes.

"You and I are just talking, I have no intention of hurting you. ”

"Let me explain, the bloodline inheritance of our Nanzhao King clan is the Blood Sword Martial Soul. ”

"The weapon used is also a blood knife made of volcanic iron, so the combination of human knives and the lethality is huge!"

"You can use all the powerful means you have, don't scruple!"

Wang Honglie held the bloody knife and patiently told Xu Guangming.

Xu Guangming nodded and expressed his gratitude.

After a martial artist enters the martial artist realm, the original colorless soul power in his body will turn pale yellow.

At the same time, the martial soul also has the opportunity to mutate.

Among them, the weapon martial soul and the beast martial soul are the two most common types of mutated martial souls.

That Chu Tianhe's mutated martial soul should be some kind of fierce beast martial soul.

And this Wang Honglie's martial soul is the martial soul of the sword in the weapon martial soul.

Thinking that Wang Yuanba's best thing is swordsmanship, it can be seen that what Wang Honglie said is true.

"Three slashes with a blood knife, the first slash, a shocking slash!"

While still thinking about it, Wang Honglie had already moved and displayed his family heirloom martial arts.

This knife, falling from the sky, is amazingly powerful.

Xu Guangming didn't dare to be careless, pulled out the soul slashing knife, and hurriedly responded.

While!

The Soul Slayer collided with the Blood Knife, making a piercing sound.

Xu Guangming's hand was numb, and the soul slashing knife almost fell out of his hand.

Level 2 martial artist, plus mutated martial spirit, and this martial arts, this blow is really not simple.

Xu Guangming didn't dare to have any reservations, and hurriedly cast the Stone God Pan Armor Technique, and the Blood Demon Crazy Battle Spell blessed himself.

Seeing this, Wang Honglie showed a look of surprise on his face, obviously curious about Xu Guangming's secret technique.

"Three slashes with a blood knife, a second slash, and a slash on the ground!"

This slash is from the bottom up, the soul power surges, and the lethality is stronger.

But with the blessing of the two auras and the newly purchased purple gold inner armor bodyguard, Xu Guangming has a lot more confidence.

The soul power of the whole body boiled, and he unleashed a powerful technique: Thunder Demon Cloud Slash.

While!

The two knives intersected and made a piercing sound again, and Xu Guangming's performance this time was much stronger than before.

can already compete with Wang Honglie.

The thunder demon slashed and revealed.

Seeing this, Wang Honglie nodded secretly with a look of appreciation.

"Three slashes with a blood knife, a third slash, and a killing slash!"

This last slash, without any bells and whistles, a horizontal slash from left to right,

With sheer power.

But Xu Guangming knew that it was this cut that was the most lethal.

He didn't dare to be careless, the Thunder Demon Cloud Slash was urged to the maximum, and the soul slashing knife was full of thunder and lightning entanglement, crackling and crackling.

While!

He could barely catch the last slash.

The tiger's mouth was shocked to a numb, and his arms were faintly trembling.

"That's it! You've passed!"

After Wang Honglie finished casting these three swords, he suddenly jumped backwards and ended the battle.

It was announced that Xu Guangming had passed the test.

"Thank you!"

Xu Guangming nodded and put away the soul slashing knife.

"It's just three cuts, and it's exactly one minute. You have cleared the level with strength, so you don't have to thank me. ”

"It's his luck that Yuan Ba can make a friend like you, I'm waiting for you in the inner courtyard!"

Wang Honglie clenched his fists, smiled slightly, and turned to leave.

Xu Guangming exhaled a long breath, and he had clearly realized the gap between himself and a level 2 martial artist.

"When I enter the realm of a Level 1 martial artist, I will definitely be able to defeat this person!"

He had already made up his mind and turned away from the small universe.

At this moment, the disciples of the outer courtyard who watched the battle in the assessment office were speechless in surprise.

looked at Xu Guangming's eyes one by one, as if he had seen a celestial man.

Under the hands of a level 2 martial artist, he insisted on three moves without being defeated, and with such a cultivation, there could be a few disciples in the outer court.

"It's the last round!"

After a short break, Xu Guangming conducted the last draw, and at this time, he couldn't help but get a little nervous.

He had a hunch that this last round of assessment would definitely not be so easy.

This time, he was assigned to the small universe of 99.

Knowing that this was the last battle for him to return to the inner court, many inner court disciples who came to participate in the selection,

even put down his assessment for the time being, and came around to watch the excitement.

On the other side, Han Feiyu, Wang Yuanba, Chi Qiushui, and Su Rouer have just finished two rounds of assessments.

shifted his attention to Xu Guangming.

Under the expectation of everyone, Xu Guangming stepped into the small universe of No. 99.

"Xu Guangming, do you want to go back to the inner courtyard? It's impossible, let's end here!"

A domineering voice instantly came into my ears.

Xu Guangming looked up and saw that this person he knew, Qi Changlong, a disciple of the outer court.

Qi Changlong is twenty years old this year, and he is a thin man with a long thin face and a slightly rickety figure.

Looks sickly.

Once in the inner courtyard, he fought against Xu Guangming, but he lost to Xu Guangming at the beginning.

Now three years have passed, and Qi Changlong, who looks terminally ill, is already a genuine level 3 martial artist.

"Qi Delong, Qi Dongqiang, Qi Songtao, Qi Jiuxiao, they are all my clan brothers. ”

"I was entrusted by them to cut off your path as a disciple of the inner court here. ”

"Three years ago, I was defeated at your hands, and today I will put an end to it. ”

"It's your destiny, don't blame me!"

Qi Changlong looked sick, and coughed slightly after speaking.

After Xu Guangming listened, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"Fate?"

"What is life?"

"It's just your, relying on your strength. ”

"If this is what you call fate, then I will go against it!"

In the end, Xu Guangming's eyes were already red, and his whole body erupted with unprecedented battle intent.

He has worked so hard to get to this point,

It's only one step away from returning to the inner courtyard.

He will never allow and cannot accept his failure!
