Chapter Forty-Six: The Infinite Lotus
"Dangdangdangdang" The bell of the academy rang as usual, but two more than usual, and a new day was about to start again. The sun has risen, there is no wind and clouds, but today is not destined to be calm.
On the playground, there are already people who have arrived in advance, and people are constantly rushing here.
Waiting for people to come, Xu Ming, who had been waiting on the stage for a long time, began to speak, but his voice was not loud but reached everyone's ears.
"Don't talk nonsense, let's cherish time. This is your second assessment to the inner court, where those who win stay and those who lose leave. I believe you have read the announcement, and I will not reiterate the specific content, I hope you will abide by it. "I announce the start of the assessment, let's disperse. ”
The crowd in line scattered, went to their own competition venue to wait, Jiang Hai was not in a hurry, anyway, there were twenty-four games ahead, so he simply walked around.
The huge playground is divided into ten small fields for competition, and there is an invigilator, a tutor, and three law enforcers in each of the four directions of east, west, south and north. The law enforcers were dressed in black and covered their faces, and they couldn't tell their age, men and women. This greatly increases the safety of the competition, ensuring the safety of the students and preventing external interference.
Among the friends, the first to compete was Li Jiang, who was next door to him, and Jiang Hai decided to go there to have a look.
The crowd saw Li Jiang, this guy was holding a long stick in his arms with both hands, his eyes closed, and he didn't know if he was resting or what he was doing. Jiang Hai walked over and decided to tease him.
Quietly came to him, and was about to grab the long stick, but was blocked by a hand. Seeing that Li Jiang didn't know when he opened his eyes, he was looking at himself with a wicked smile, and that hand was his.
"Why do you still want to snatch the master's stick?"
"Didn't I see if you were asleep? Jiang Hai withdrew his hand and looked at Li Jiang.
Li Jiang explained: "At this time, you can sleep for me! This is a habit of mine. ”
"Habits? What kind of habits. ”
"Whenever I think it's time for something important, I close my eyes and meditate for a while, calm myself down, and take it with a calm heart. ”
"That's a good habit. ”
"Maybe," Jiang Hai appeared in front of him at this time, and asked again, "You don't have to fight?" or are you also in the sixth game?"
"You think I have such a good life? I'm next door, but I'm in twenty-five, and I know you're in front, so let's take a look. Then he said: "That guy Wenhui is out of the mountain, you will go and see him after a while, there will be a surprise!"
"Surprise? or Wen Hui" Li Jiang became interested and hurriedly asked, but Jiang Hai didn't say anything.
Then he went to the seventh venue, where Meng Qin waited in the crowd. Quiet and thin, he held the short sword in his hand, and looked at the people fighting on the field seriously, without superfluous movements, but he was also eye-catching, and his temperament was extraordinary. Jiang Hai couldn't bear to disturb him, so he simply returned to the sixth venue and accompanied Li Jiang to wait for his appearance.
There are no famous players in front, and the winning and losing points are fast, and they are beaten out of the field in one person. The invigilator announced: "The next group of Li Jiang will fight against Fan Long. “
Li Jiang opened his eyes with a calm face, and entered the arena with a long stick on his back, the opponent was a young man with a steel knife in his hand, with a pride in his eyebrows, he looked at Li Jiang and said: "Before fighting, I want you to remember my name, Fan Long, the dragon among the people." But I believe that you will remember me for the rest of your life, because I will eliminate you. The young man made a domineering declaration.
It attracted a commotion from the spectators, but they did not dare to talk loudly, but only whispered about the arrogance of this person.
Jiang Hai also frowned, this person is really different, is he extremely confident in his own strength? A strong man who has not yet appeared in front of the public? But the object is wrong, who is Li Jiang? A person who can quarrel with Wen Hui for half an hour will be so angry?
However, what Jiang Hai didn't expect was that Li Jiang's face was calm, and he didn't have anger at all, but smiled at Fan Long and said, "I remember, can I start?"
Seeing that he didn't anger the other party, Fan Long decided to try his depth, and rushed towards Li Jiang with a three-foot steel knife, and Li Jiang also quickly pulled out a long stick as a defensive gesture. A knife slashed at Li Jiang, mixed it up, caught the rebound force and shook Fan Long away, and then swept thousands of troops to counterattack with one move, and Fan Long had to retreat.
waved the steel knife, and came forward to split, chop, cut, stab, and pick one by one, Li Jiang was able to block and never dodge, and he received more than ten moves from Fan Long, and he did not lose a little bit. Fan Long retreated, and then looked at the opponent in front of him, Li Jiang was also not afraid to meet his gaze, waiting for his attack.
'This person is a little difficult to deal with, could it be that he has encountered a ruthless stubble?' Fan Long thought, the previous declaration seemed stupid but it was intentional, and the public provocation was just to provoke him, if he was on the top, it was naturally himself who would win, but he didn't care at all.
The successive attacks have no effect, and it seems that what he said before is a little brainless, and he can even feel the contemptuous eyes around him. After making up his mind, his eyes became a lot sharper.
Li Jiang naturally knew that the other party wanted to move seriously, the previous attack seemed to be fierce and all was a temptation, and the strength was rarely used, so how could he not know as an opponent.
It was the sun shining, the temperature was not low, Fan Long was wiping the steel knife in one hand, and he looked cold and shining. Li Jiang didn't understand the meaning of his opponent's move, so he had to be on guard. Suddenly, the steel knife turned, and the blade reflected the sunlight and pointed directly at Li Jiang's eyes.
This eye is the most fragile place in the human body, and it is a place that is difficult for people who practice externally, Li Jiang only felt that his eyes flashed, and he subconsciously covered it with his hands.
Jiang Hai secretly screamed badly, thinking that Fan Long would use such means, he was not a general, arrogant but calm.
Li Jiang knew that his blindfold would give the other party a chance, so he reacted quickly and stepped back, calculated to the corner of the field and then stopped, with the long stick facing forward to prevent the opponent's sudden attack.
Fan Long had already rushed over, but he didn't expect the other party to react so quickly, so he could only rush to Li Jiang's left side. The steel knife swept away Li Jiang's waist. Li Jiang only felt a chill on his waist, which was the edge of metal, so he had to block it with a stick in a hurry. But it was the defense that was wide open, so that Fan Long kicked it squarely, and he turned the river and the sea in his abdomen with so much force that he had to retreat to the side.
Seeing that it was a corner, Fan Long was willing to stop, squatting down and slashing at Li Jiang's foot to force him to retreat, and there was an off-field behind. How can he retreat, he has to jump and dodge repeatedly, and he is also thinking, it is not a matter to go on like this, and if he hits, he will lose, and he will not test the strength of the opponent's knife technique.
"Qiankun reversed" shouted, the tail of the stick landed on the ground for support, and one over, the person was already standing behind Fan Long,
A good move reversed, not only out of the original dangerous position, but also forced the other party into a corner, which had to make Jiang Hai suspicious, and Li Jiang calculated it when he retreated to the right. It's inevitable that it's too hard, and the feeling of being left to die and reborn.
In an instant, the offense and defense were exchanged, Li Jiang pointed at Fan Long with a stick, mixed like a dragon crossing the river, it was a fast, in the blink of an eye, it had been out of the stick more than ten times, Fan Long was embarrassed to defend, and did not dare to retreat at all. This stick method is not only fast, but the strength is also very great, hitting the sound of the knife, Ding Ding is like striking iron, only the shock of Fan Longhu's mouth is numb, and he can't wait to drop the steel knife and rub it. Seeing that the other party had made a move, he didn't dare to hide it anymore.
called: "Drink you and eat me too, 'wind and clouds'" and then the steel knife was placed horizontally, and the body rotated like a spinning top. The speed increased, and only the sword light flickered and no figure could be seen, and then the wind around the spinning top blew, whirring, and finally became a tornado. Far away, Jiang Hai can also feel the fierceness in it.
The wind swept up to a height of two feet, and the sand was flying innumerable, and the clothes around it flew straight to it, and if it weren't for the four invigilators, they might be able to sweep away one or two people.
Li Jiang watched the wind rolling towards him, this power is a wound, and it can break a few bones when it touches it, and it can't be resisted, and it can't dodge, and he has already locked himself. It is also known that there is no wind in the center of this tornado, and it is most appropriate to break it from the center. But with his light skills, he can't jump to that height, but I'm afraid that it won't reach the top of it and leave it with a curl wound, so it will be hard!
The temperament changed abruptly, and his eyes changed from calm to hot, like a battle-hardened general, sharp, powerful, and direct to people's hearts. The long stick came out, outlining something in the air, and then changed a few places one after another, and the behavior was weird and confusing.
Jiang Hai knew that Li Jiang had two sets of stick techniques, and this gorgeous momentum should be unparalleled, but he had never seen this trick, either he learned it later, or he would have just been forced to use it by no one before, this Fan Long is not simple!
After Li Jiang finished sketching, he took the mixture in his hand and shouted, and then pieces of light appeared around the "Peerless Jade Lotus", which was actually the place outlined before, slowly expanding from the point of light, and finally transforming into shape. It was a blooming white lotus, all the size of a palm, and there were just seven of them.
The white lotus rotates, spraying thin points of light like pollen falling with the wind, and there is a fragrance of flowers, indifferent, extraordinary! On the one hand, there is the tornado wind, the wind and clouds, tyrannical and cruel, vowing to tear each other apart, and on the other hand, the peaceful and beautiful, sacred and flawless white jade lotus, the embodiment of two extremes.
Everyone is looking forward to it.
The white lotus flowers were fragrant, surrounding Li Jiang, and then one of them flew towards the wind of the tornado under the control of Li Jiang, the lotus was unhurried, and when it was approaching, it was a little swaying under the influence of the wind, but it still did not give the wind to sweep away, nor did it tear the blade, after all, it hit the wind scroll, and then burned violently, from the petals to all.
"Boom" The lotus flower exploded after it burned. The fire flickered, the smoke dispersed, and then there was a pungent smell. It feels so real, it's like a firecracker. When the smoke cleared, everyone saw the result clearly, and the wind swept through a gap in the lotus explosion, but the power of the lotus flower can even be blown through by the wind. But after all, it was the wind, and it made up for the gap in a moment, but the wind was much smaller.
'If it goes on like this, this Fan Long will be defeated,' Jiang Hai thought to himself. There are still seven snow lotuses, and although the wind scroll can be regenerated but cannot be recreated, if it is consumed like this, this Fan Long will have no wind to resist. Because it was evident that the speed of his rotation slowed down, and the cost was great.
Li Jiang also knew this, and he didn't plan to delay it any longer, vowing to end the competition and control the remaining six lotus flowers to fly towards the wind one by one.
