Chapter 9 – The Opening Battle

"Come on, I don't think you will have any good intentions" The girl in front of her smiled, turned her head and ignored Lu Xing, and directly cast her bright and thorough gaze on the young man and the middle-aged man who were fighting in the ring at the moment. He didn't pay much attention to Lu Xing. For such a situation, Lu Xing had no other expression except a wry smile.

But this is indeed the case, even if it is a person with such an extreme personality as Lu Xing, there is nothing he can do under the threat of Xia Qing and the "Yu Wang Ye" token she displayed. Lu Xing could only obediently listen to Xia Qing give him orders. For him, Lord Yu's token was like the Holy Decree of His Majesty the Emperor, and he thought that if he didn't listen to Xia Qing, he might cause a lot of trouble for their family. This is also one of the reasons why Lu Xing is secretly distressed.

Who knows, Xia Qing did not rush to convey any orders to him, but temporarily disappeared in front of Lu Xing for several days with a threatening request. Lu Xing had no choice but to send someone to send this black round-necked robe to Xia Qing. On the day of the opening battle, Xia Qing also appeared in front of Lu Xing with this set of clothes on his body. What made Lu Xing feel a little strange was that the young man who was originally with Xia Qing, that is, Feng Baiyi, Lu Xing did not find him.

Although Xia Qing looks more powerful and beautiful in this dress. But Lu Xing has the heart of a thief and does not have the courage. In addition to Lord Yu, Lu Xing was also afraid of the young man who was with Xia Qing last time. The young man was easily forgotten in the crowd, and was very ordinary in terms of appearance or anything else. However, the person who made Lu Xing very eager but couldn't get it, Xia Qing was the first. For her, Lu Xing really has no way at all.

At this time, Xia Qingmei, who was watching the game in the ring, showed a glimmer in her eyes. A shallow smile crossed his face. She turned her head and asked Lu Xingdao, "I don't know, who are these two people?" Lu Xing felt Xia Qingming's charming gaze, and he was obviously relieved when he heard this. He hurriedly pointed to the young man standing on the right who had now taken a few steps back again, and had retreated to the edge of the ring and said, "This young man is an outstanding descendant of the Zhang family, a famous martial arts family in Ruocheng, named Zhang Yi. Although this boy is only sixteen or seventeen years old, he is probably about the same age as me. However, he is the only junior in the Zhang family who has awakened the soul of the instrument, and he is also the most outstanding teenager of their generation. He also became one of the less than 100 people in Ruocheng who possessed a soul of weapons. Don't look at this young man is still in a weak position now, but for those who have a machine soul. Whether it is physical strength, endurance, or energy, it is superior to the opponent, and I believe that this teenager is there to maneuver and look for an opportunity to counterattack. ”

Xia Qing's heart moved slightly, she didn't expect that Lu Xing's observation power was not weak. So she leaned into Lu Xing's ear and whispered, "I don't know, what is this young man's soul?"

Lu Xing shook his head slightly, saying that he didn't know about this matter. Indeed, if there is really an outstanding junior in a family who awakens the soul of the instrument. Regardless of the merits, this junior will soon become their family's biggest secret. Even if it is a land trip, there is no way to understand it clearly. Xia Qing knew that there was no hope for this matter. So she stopped talking, and sat there quietly watching the changes that might occur in the ring at any time. However, when Xia Qing's eyes fell on the two twin blades in Zhang Yi's hands, which had changed from the original dark blue to orange-red like red fire, he knew in his heart that this young man really possessed the Twin Thorns of the Instrument Soul.

Zhang Yi, a young man in yellow clothes, rotated comfortably on the edge of the ring, although the middle-aged man's attack was extremely fierce, he did not have the assistance of the soul after all, and he did not have the ability to improve his physical strength. If he continues to fight like this for a long time, he will suffer a great loss.

The middle-aged man who was fighting against Zhang Yi obviously didn't realize that the yellow-clothed young man Zhang Yi actually had a one-in-a-million soul ability, and when he saw that his brute force could overwhelm the young man's agile posture, he still chose to use more physical strength to slash and force the young man in front of him to make mistakes.

Zhang Yi just needed the middle-aged man in front of him to attack like this, because he had a soul, so his physical strength was still very good, and he was not afraid of the desperate attack of the middle-aged man in front of him. Although he couldn't fight head-on, Zhang Yi simply walked around the field, relying on his agile posture and the assistance of his instrument soul to waste his opponent's physical strength back and forth.

Only the middle-aged man in blue clothes who watched the battle on the field knew that this young man was showing the strong ability of the Zhang family's heirloom soul twin thorns. The two originally dark blue double blades absorbed the sweat on the boy's body to help the boy regain his physical vitality when the boy's physical strength was about to be exhausted. However, the twin thorns will turn into orange-red twin blades when absorbed. It will take some time and a cold environment to recover, and it will be able to turn into a dark blue double blade that seals the throat with blood in sight. It's just that no matter what the color of the twin thorns is, the effect will not change.

This sounds very incredible to ordinary people, and it is impossible to do anything, but this middle-aged man in a blue robe knows it well. From a distance, there was also a spinning silver blade hidden in his hand, and it was obvious that he was also the owner of a soul. will have a certain understanding of the twin thorns in Zhang Yi's hands.

"Don't run away!" The middle-aged man obviously couldn't keep up with Zhang Yi's speed, he panted heavily, and roared angrily at Zhang Yi's still jumping figure.

Zhang Yi laughed contemptuously, ignoring the fact that the middle-aged man's voice was full of provocation and anger. He still insisted on his tactics, that is, he did not fight the middle-aged man head-on. Because, Zhang Yi knew that once the Jiangnan Martial Arts Conference was defeated, it would be impossible to continue fighting in this ring. Therefore, if he wants to get one of the three elements of champion, Bangyan and Tanhua, he must win at least five rounds to be possible. So he didn't want to fall right here.

"If this continues, this middle-aged man may last less than a minute, you can see his steps" "The boy's tactics are very correct" "It seems that this time the boy is going to win"

The middle-aged man continued to chase after Zhang Yi for a while, and finally stopped because of his physical exhaustion, and rested there panting for breath first. At this moment, the afterglow of Zhang Yi's eyes swept over the middle-aged man, and when he stopped. Without hesitation, the boy turned to face the middle-aged man. A scornful smile crossed his face.

The spectators under the ring could see that now the young man in the ring had the absolute upper hand, and the twin blades were finally raised in the air for the first time. Let the Jiangnan heroes in the audience, and some tourists finally see the wonder of this double-bladed handle. However, except for a very few of them who probably guessed some clues, the other Jiangnan heroes did not see the different abilities that this Zhang Yi showed at the moment. The others were curious to pay attention to the changes in the double blades on Zhang Yi's body and hands. They wanted to know why Zhang Yi was able to attack and chase at such a high intensity without feeling tired at all. Everyone held their breath, calmly observing the possible changes in Zhang Yi's body.

Orange-red light burst out from the twin blades, reflecting the sunlight and shining strongly. Zhang Yi finally returned to the middle-aged man's face, his blades raised in the air, his steps were as swift as ghosts, and his hands danced in a strong arc like a tornado. Zhang Yi stepped on the traces of the arc and ran directly towards the middle-aged man. At this time, the spectators in the ring already knew that the middle-aged man was already at the end of his crossbow, and it was impossible for him to block such a blow from the young man with his current strength.

With a sound of "brush", Zhang Yi's figure was forced to stop by a strong resistance, and Zhang Yi only saw the middle-aged man in the blue robe in front of him, standing proudly with his hands in his hands. The voice was flat but with a hint of irresistible majesty. "He's already defeated, and I'm not going to allow death to happen. Take him down. Then, the middle-aged man walked to Zhang Yi's side with a flat expression and shouted to everyone: "The opener, the winner is, Zhang Yi!"

These words were full of courage, but there was silence under the ring, and some of the Jiangnan heroes who usually thought they were quite strong were also shocked by the scene just now. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they couldn't believe that a person who was originally standing far away could rush in front of them in such a short period of time, and stubbornly blocked Zhang Yi's attack that broke out in an instant. This made the Jiangnan heroes in front of them feel extremely surprised.

Among the many Jiangnan heroes, some people seemed to be able to see the unusual abilities displayed by this young Zhang Yi, and several of them also whispered in the crowd. It caused quite a commotion among the crowd. People began to whisper.

"You don't have to be shocked, I'm just keeping them from dying. Alright, time is pressing, let's move on to our next ring match. The middle-aged man in the blue robe in front of him seemed to see the reason for the expressions of everyone under the ring. He explained lightly, and then asked the guards on both sides to take the winner Zhang Yi and the loser out of the field from both sides. The next pair of contestants, who have already been notified, have already stood on both sides, ready to continue the grand occasion of the Jiangnan competition at any time.

Continuing to fight, the grand occasion of the Jiangnan Tournament was not weakened by the strong strength shown by Zhang Yi in the first opening match. The next battle was also very fierce, and the Jiangnan heroes who participated in it were also full of strength to fight there. It's just that on the first day of the competition, there was no one with a soul again.

With the fourteen rounds of different Jiangnan heroes fighting each other, the first day of the Jiangnan martial arts competition gradually came to an end. As the night sky gradually darkened, a deep night glow shrouded the ring. The people watching the game inside the venue began to retreat to the top floor one after another, eagerly talking about the grand occasion of today's game, while enjoying the most delicious meal in the Yunsheng Juxian Building. Some people returned to the room early to make short preparations, preparing for the possibility that they would be in the ring at any time tomorrow for a fight.

Xia Qing stretched his waist and took a long breath, his eyes covered with a faint layer of mist. She didn't leave the top floor of the Yunsheng Juxian Tower, and now it was the last pair of Jiangnan heroes who appeared there to fight. Xia Qing looked at the empty seat beside him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but purse a sneer.

At this moment, the curtain came down on the last confrontation on the first day. The surrounding Ouchi guards also withdrew, leaving only a teenager standing in the ring who was constantly waving to a group of tables and chairs, with an indescribable smug expression on his face.

"Hehe, Lu Xing can win, this game is really full of surprising suspense" Xia Qing looked at Lu Xing, who had a vague silhouette on the stage, looking at his excited face, Xia Qing couldn't help but feel a deep disgust and a trace of fatigue in his heart. This kind of life is really unbearable, which is indeed a big test for a girl who grew up in Lotte.

"Hey, how nice it would be if I could go back to the bamboo forest and live in seclusion with my senior brother" Thinking of the softest place in his heart, Xia Qingmei's eyes showed a trace of despair and helplessness. At the same time, a trace of white tears could not help but appear in the corners of his eyes.
