Chapter 327: An Unexpected Battle
There are more and more trivial things recorded in the jade slips, but they are still within the controllable range. Luo Yu didn't feel that what he did would have any substantial impact on the overall situation, so after reading it, he continued to cultivate very calmly.
What he needs to do most now is to adapt to the skyrocketing cultivation, and consolidate the breathing technique, so as to "restore his cultivation to its original state".
At the end of the day, the results were quite good. At dusk, a new jade slip appeared outside the door of his ashram, with more names of acquaintances inside.
Now that the competition is nearly halfway through, the work of the fish shop is completely on the right track. The results of the competition in the morning are summarized and sent to him, and the general order of the next day is determined at dusk. The results of each afternoon are summarized over the evening and reflected in the latest order published the next morning.
Luoyu put down the jade slip and returned to the quiet room to continue studying his attribute transformation and wind spells.
One night was not enough to make a qualitative leap in the wind spell, but it was also rewarding, but the next morning, the new jade was already on schedule.
I wanted to roughly sweep the order of the day's competition, but Luo Yu saw that Xia Yanyin's name was also among them. When he looked closely, he found that the names of his acquaintances were no longer limited to those inner disciples, Jing Yu, Sikong and others, as well as Luo Xiao and Shen Xing, would all meet their number one opponent today.
When he saw these names, he couldn't help but feel a little urgent, these people were too close to him.
He hasn't attracted attention so far, Jing'er is very good, Xia Yanyin and the others' first opponent is not worried, and Luoyu can continue to go back to study spells with relative peace of mind.
The spell has made a lot of progress, but dusk comes out again, and there is no jade slip outside the quiet room.
Luoyu was slightly surprised, as if he smelled something unusual. In his thoughts, Shi Hong was reporting something in the master's courtyard, and on the stone table next to the master, there was a jade slip lying quietly.
The two in the courtyard found Luo Yu and stopped talking, obviously waiting for him to join.
Luoyu felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart and walked quickly to the courtyard.
The first seat of Yinyu Peak didn't see much abnormality, Shi Hong's heart was full of words, he seemed to be a little nervous, a little worried, and had some unspeakable worries in his heart.
However, with the first seat of Yinyu Peak present, it is not Shi Hong's turn to resist when the sky falls. Luoyu approached, and the first seat of Yinyu Peak reached out and handed over something.
Only then did Luo Yu notice that the reason why the jade slip was thrown on the table and ignored was because there was something more important in the master's hand!
It was a rectangular piece of ebony wood, engraved with the pattern of a vintage board, and the blank space in the middle flashed with spiritual power.
The action couldn't help but pause, and Luoyu's gaze fell on the wood chips.
If he didn't go to be a welcoming disciple, Luo Yu really didn't know what it was. This is a formal challenge book, and the competition of ordinary disciples does not need to be so troublesome, it is enough to report a name, and only extraordinary opponents and extraordinary situations will use it.
What is an extraordinary situation?
For example, if one person receives a challenge from multiple people at the same time, it will be more noticeable if one of the challengers hands in a formal challenge.
Or use it to emphasize anger, especially the kind of challenge caused by contradictions, and when you write a formal war letter, you will have a domineering feeling of "Lao Tzu is here, you wait and see!".
Or, the challenger can use it to underscore his resoluteness and the extraordinary importance he takes to the contest and his opponent.
Luoyu's mind swirled these thoughts, but he couldn't think of anyone who could meet the above conditions.
It was the only challenge he accepted, so it couldn't have been the first reason. He doesn't seem to have a grudge against anyone recently, so he shouldn't be expressing anger. However, no one had set an important competition with him in the morning, just like the young sect master of the Xuanning Sect had made an appointment to fight against Yao Ye......
Can't find people who meet the criteria, can't think of the reason why things happened, and it makes people feel even worse. Because it means – unexpectedly.
Luoyu doesn't like accidents, and no one likes accidents. Especially at this time, the accident cannot be a surprise no matter how you look at it.
It meant that the quiet days were over, and the best he had hoped for could not have happened.
Luo Yu didn't feel particularly surprised, but he was a little emotional, wondering who would challenge him, could it be Qingning Sect's own people, for example, Jing Yu, because he had blocked others, so he subconsciously felt that people would also come to block him.
Taking the battle book from his master's hand, Luo Yu looked at the other party's name - "Xuanning Sect, Xue Cheng".
Who is this person? Haven't you heard of it? Neither an acquaintance, nor one of the famous disciples of Xuanning Sect, where did this guy pop up?
This was Luoyu's first thought after seeing this person's name.
As soon as he took his eyes off the person's name, Luo Yu saw that the master had pushed the jade slip over as well.
Yes, he did need to know the arrangement of the competition and the background of this person.
Although this is not the exact order of the competition on the second day, the first few games will basically not change, and the battle between Luoyu and Xue Cheng is the second after the start of the morning.
Luo Yu looked at the identity of this person, and felt even more strange. He thought that the one who dared to challenge him had to be a personal disciple of the Xuanning Sect, but this person was obviously an ordinary inner disciple, and his cultivation was not in the late stage of gathering spirits.
It's not that the opponent is too strong, but the opponent is too weak, so weak that at first glance, it feels a little insulted. Such a person whose identity and strength are not worthy of him was stunned to hand over a decent challenge book according to the highest specifications of the competition...... It's just too unusual.
A wild guess popped up in Luo Yu's mind - this guy shouldn't have been deliberately made by Xuanning Sect to make people disgusting, could it be that they just wanted to make him feel that he was being slighted and thus provoke him?
Of course, a thought came to mind directly, and Luo Yu would not be really angry, but felt very weird, this matter should not be so simple!
There is no suspense about the opponent, even if he does not break the realm, the result of the competition is also no suspense, how can the other party be embarrassed to challenge?
Luoyu was right, but the problem is that Dabi's regulations only say that it is not allowed to challenge those who are weaker than himself, but there is no provision that he is not allowed to challenge those who are stronger than himself. The challenge is to find a stronger one to fight.
What's even more coincidental is that Luoyu has no other challengers. If there are others challenging him at this time, these challengers must be the first to decide the ranking and select the most reliable one to compete with him. But now that there is none, Luoyu must play in person, no matter how unreliable the other party seems.
Luo Yu's brow furrowed, he needed more information to analyze this matter in detail, but he didn't want to face the rest of the story. Because in his heart, some things are the least desirable to happen, and some people are the least likely to be hurt, Luo Yu is afraid that this matter will be related to them.
