Chapter 283: Hidden Worries
Yan Qingwu's most powerful thing is swordsmanship, because Zhang Ruochen was surprised and cut off her sword, so that she did not give full play to the advantages of swordsmanship.
In the second encounter, she did not plan to go toe-to-toe with Zhang Ruochen, and was ready to make reasonable use of her advantage in speed.
"Let's get started!"
Zhang Ruochen was holding the Shen Yuan Ancient Sword, which was also a move, standing like a pine, silent and motionless, giving people a sense of unfathomable.
"It's snowing. ”
Yan Qingwu showed a spirit-level swordsmanship, intending to take the initiative to test Zhang Ruochen and force Zhang Ruochen to reveal his flaws.
When Yan Qingwu's sword was getting closer and closer to Zhang Ruochen, he saw that Zhang Ruochen was about to be pierced through the heart by Yan Qingwu's sword.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen swung his sword and slashed, moving like thunder, and the sword qi was like a waterfall, slashing in front of Yan Qingwu.
"Bang!"
Yan Qingwu flew upside down, and when she fell to the ground, her body broke in two.
The sword in her hand was also broken in two.
"It turns out that it only takes a sword. ”
Zhang Ruochen didn't look at Yan Qingwu's spiritual void body, put away the Shen Yuan Ancient Sword, and walked out of the test room.
Reaching the Great Pole of the Earth Pole Realm, Zhang Ruochen's fastest speed had reached two hundred and ninety meters per second, far surpassing Yan Qingwu. Yan Qingwu does not have any advantage at all in terms of speed.
Coupled with the sharpness of the Shen Yuan Ancient Sword, he only used one sword to kill Yan Qingwu, who was the hundredth in the "Earth List".
At this moment, at the top of the test palace of "Earth List", Lei Jing was sitting with an old man with crane hair and a childish face, and happened to see the picture of Zhang Ruochen killing Yan Qingwu with a sword.
The sword just now was so amazing that it was almost flawless.
"The sword heart is clear and there are no flaws. ”
The old man sighed: "It's really amazing, I didn't expect that Heavenly Demon Ridge would give birth to such a powerful young hero, if the news is transmitted back to the headquarters, it is estimated that even the high-level officials of the School Palace and Qian Zhuang will notice him." ”
Lei Jing shook his head and said, "Don't send the news back to the headquarters yet." ”
"Why?" asked the old man.
Lei Jing said with a smile: "Zhang Ruochen is still only a cultivator in the Extreme Realm, and in the eyes of those half-saints and saints, he is just a child! You must know that the interior of the Wushi School Palace is not monolithic, and if the news leaks out, it will only cause Zhang Ruochen to kill himself. Therefore, the fewer people who know, the better. ”
The old man also nodded, and said, "In other words, to conceal Zhang Ruochen's test results, and not to send the news back to the headquarters." ”
Lei Jing nodded and said, "It's not that it won't be transmitted, but it's not completely transmitted." If it were known that Zhang Ruochen was only in the Great Pole Position of the Earth Extreme Realm, he would definitely cause a huge sensation if he only used one sword to kill the hundredth master of the "Earth List". It will even attract the masters of the Demon Cult and the Black Market, and kill him at all costs. ”
"However, if Zhang Ruochen's cultivation of the Great Pole of the Earth Extreme Realm can only be on par with the hundredth master of the "Earth List", and he can only win by a slight advantage. Then, although his talent is still very impressive, it has not yet reached the level of terrifying the Demon Sect and the black market. When the time comes, even if a master comes to kill him, the old man can help him take it. ”
The old man said: "I understand! If Zhang Ruochen is in the Great Pole of the Earth Extreme Realm, he can only compete with the hundredth master of the "Earth List". Then, even if you break through to the Great Perfection of the Earth Extreme Realm, you will have the strength of the top 20 of the "Earth List" at most. Although he is still proud of the world's heroes, he has not yet reached the level of defying the sky. After all, every few years, the top 20 of the "Land List" will change a group of people. ”
It's just a difference in the realm, but it's a two-level concept.
Lei Jing and the old man just used another way to hide part of Zhang Ruochen's strength and talent.
Lei Jingdao: "After all, Zhang Ruochen is only a prince of a lower-class county, if you want to reach a higher realm and get the best cultivation, you must have a lot of cultivation resources. After all, the old man can help him is limited, so he must show some of his talents and get the attention of the Academy, only in this way can the Academy give him more resources. Help him and go further. ”
The old man said: "Since this is the case, then publicize it to the outside world, Zhang Ruochen is a martial arts cultivator in the Great Pole of the Earth Extreme Realm." At the same time, we only reported the results of the first and second combat tests to the headquarters, and the actual combat results of the third game were directly pressed. ”
"I'll leave this matter to you. Lei Jing arched his hand.
The old man said with a smile: "We are all working for Wushi Qianzhuang, and the old man doesn't want the genius of Qianzhuang to be killed in the cradle before he can grow up." Now, I will transmit today's test results and battle projection to the "Earth Leader" machine spirit deity. ”
The old man in front of him is not a real human being, but a clone of the machine spirit of the "Earth List".
Transmitting the test results, Lei Jing also said goodbye and left, and went to see Zhang Ruochen again.
When Lei Jing saw Zhang Ruochen, he was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Zhang Ruochen, there is one thing, the old man did not discuss it with you in advance, and he may be a little reckless." ”
Zhang Ruochen said: "What's the matter?"
Lei Jing then told Zhang Ruochen about the decision he had just made with the machine spirit clone of "Earth List".
After listening, Zhang Ruochen's brows furrowed deeply, and he said, "It has been sent back to the headquarters?"
Lei Jing saw Zhang Ruochen's expression that seemed to be very worried, so he smiled and said, "Don't be too nervous, it's also a good thing to show some of your talents, you can get the attention of the top management of the Academy Palace and give you more cultivation resources." If it is really because of this, some strong people want to kill you, and the old man will definitely protect you with all his might. ”
Of course, Zhang Ruochen was not afraid of being assassinated by a master, but was worried about another thing.
During the second test, Zhang Ruochen had a conversation with Yan Qingwu and mentioned some things about Chi Yao's cultivation, which were all absolutely secret.
Zhang Ruochen was not afraid of being known by the high-level of the Wushi Academy, after all, in the eyes of those high-level officials, it was just the nonsense of a teenager in the extreme realm, and he would not take it to heart at all.
Zhang Ruochen was afraid, in case the news reached Chi Yao.
When she thinks of the name "Zhang Ruochen" again, she definitely won't think it's a coincidence.
Once Chi Yao knows that he is not dead, with Chi Yao's current power and invincible cultivation in the world, even if Zhang Ruochen escapes to the ends of the earth, it will be a dead end.
"What I said is a bit rebellious, the high-level of the Wushi Academy Palace should not spread it, after all, I am also a member of the Martial City Academy. The probability of those words reaching Chi Yao's ears was quite low, almost negligible. ”
Zhang Ruochen let out a long breath and tried to relax himself.
"Why scare yourself, after all, eight hundred years have passed, who still remembers that there was a person named Zhang Ruochen eight hundred years ago? Chi Yao...... Maybe they've forgotten about me. ”
Ten years is enough time for people to forget a lot of things, a lot of people. Not to mention eight hundred years?
Eight hundred years, too long!
Lei Jing saw that Zhang Ruochen's face was still a little wrong, and asked, "Do you have any other worries?"
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, "No!"
After thinking about it, Zhang Ruochen said again: "Can you wait until the next release of the list in three months, and then let me enter the "Earth List"?"
"You want to postpone it for three months?"
Zhang Ruochen said: "Once the news of my entry into the top 100 of the "Earth List" comes out, it will definitely cause an uproar in the Heavenly Demon Mountains, and at that time, I am afraid that there will be ten times more people who want to kill me than now." Therefore, I need three months to consolidate my current cultivation and try to further my strength to meet the more brutal challenges ahead. ”
Lei Jing's heart moved slightly, and said, "It's okay, postponing it for three months is also a good thing for you." This matter will be handled by the old man! You go back to cultivate with peace of mind, and don't delay your martial arts. ”
After Zhang Ruochen returned to the Cultivation Secret Mansion, he was still a little uneasy, and the words he said in the test secret room kept echoing in his mind, what would happen if they reached Chi Yao's ears?
Sitting in the cultivation room, Zhang Ruochen's whole body was like a burning furnace, his skin turned red, and drops of sweat overflowed, soaking through his clothes.
"No, cultivating in the current state has to go mad. ”
Zhang Ruochen frowned, his face was pale, even his lips were very chapped, and the meridians of his body were slightly highlighted, becoming a little hideous.
Kong Xuan walked in from outside, noticed Zhang Ruochen's abnormality, and asked with concern, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing. ”
Zhang Ruochen put away his true qi, tried to keep calm, stared at Kong Xuan, and said lightly: "You are not comprehending the sword intent, why did you come in?"
"A woman came outside, saying that she was ordered by Senior Sister Luo to invite the master to go to Senior Sister Luo's cultivation mansion for a while. Kong preached.
"Yes, I promised Senior Sister Luo that I wanted to exchange martial arts with her, and I almost forgot about it!"
Zhang Ruochen rubbed his temples, temporarily put aside the distracting thoughts of Chi Yao and "Dibang", and said, "Kong Xuan, you don't have to go with me, stay and continue to comprehend the sword intent." ”
Outside the cultivation mansion, there was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl standing, with a weak figure, very delicate, and her temperament was somewhat similar to Luo Shuihan.
Her martial arts cultivation has reached the small pole of the Xuanji Realm, and she is a genius girl of the Luo clan, named Luo Xinyao.
In terms of talent, Luo Xinyao is better than many students in the outer palace, and has the qualifications to enter the inner palace academy.
After waiting for a while, she still didn't see Zhang Ruochen coming out of it, Luo Xinyao was a little impatient, and said in an atmosphere: "Isn't it just a disciple of the inner palace, Senior Sister Luo took the initiative to invite, and you actually put it on the shelf." I don't know how many people, it's difficult to see Senior Sister Luo when they take the initiative to visit, what kind of thing are you?"
Although Luo Xinyao was only a sideline of the Luo clan, he was also a member of the Sage Gate, so he naturally did not take the martial artists of the Heavenly Demon Ridge in his eyes.
She really couldn't understand why Senior Sister Luo valued this Zhang Ruochen so much, and actually took the initiative to invite him to talk about martial arts together.
