Chapter 5 Beautiful Landscapes

There was an uproar around the sword platform.

The change in the rules was obviously detrimental to stronger disciples such as Li Mengzhou and He Zhengrong.

This is a very obvious thing.

If you want to win, those disciples who are relatively weak in cultivation will definitely challenge the strongest ones one after another, and even if they can't beat them, they can also wear people down.

However, this is a challenge of 12 into 8, as long as you can enter the top 8 steadily, the inner courtyard is at your fingertips.

It is definitely not an easy task to use relay battles to win at least the strongest four people at the same time.

The first target they can think of to be challenged is between Li Mengzhou and He Zhengrong.

Among the current twelve people, He Zhengrong and Shen Jiyue's cultivation is actually still in the lower realm of commitment, but both of them have faintly touched the threshold of the upper realm, and He Zhengrong can cross the past at any time.

Including Li Mengzhou, there are only three people who are really at the level of the upper realm of commitment.

But no one doubted that regardless of the level of cultivation, Li Mengzhou and He Zhengrong were the two strongest of the twelve people.

And at the moment when the sun sets and the moon rises.

There was an exclamation in the square and in the pavilion.

They weren't making a fuss for no reason, but because there were already quite a few people on the sword platform.

This phenomenon arises naturally because at the same time there are many people who intend to challenge someone first.

Although the rules state that you can choose to challenge the same person, you are not a challenger together, so this picture looks very strange.

In particular, there was an even more surprising figure on the sword platform.

It was He Zhengrong with a sword.

He Zhengrong is just fifteen years old this year, because his birthday has not passed, but after the New Year, he has already counted fifteen years old.

He was the youngest disciple in the entire Imperial Sword Academy.

Although he is not the person with the highest cultivation in the outer court, he is one of the two strongest people.

He and Li Mengzhou entered the palace at the same time to practice, but they accepted Amaterasu earlier than Li Mengzhou, but because Li Mengzhou couldn't see the sea of qi before, He Zhengrong received slightly less attention.

Li Mengzhou entered the Chengyi Upper Realm in just four months, and because of the problems in his body, the embodiment of his qualifications became even more demonic, but He Zhengrong is now also a person who can enter the threshold of the Upper Realm at any time, and when it comes to the speed of cultivation, in fact, there is not much difference between the two people.

Several other people on the sword platform also looked at He Zhengrong in surprise, not understanding what he was going to do.

There are even two people who originally wanted to challenge He Zhengrong.

But He Zhengrong's gaze was obviously not on them, but at the square, to be precise, his gaze stayed on Li Mengzhou's body.

Li Mengzhou, who was holding an umbrella and silently looking at the sword platform, was a little stunned.

"Since everyone can have multiple battles and be judged by the one with the most victories, then the weak challenging the strong may be able to deplete the strong to a certain extent, but it also gives the strong the amount of victories, so no matter how the rules change, the strong will remain after all. Instead of wrestling with the weak, it is better to have a hearty fight. ”

He Zhengrong has a sword in his hand.

Looking at Li Mengzhou condescendingly on the sword platform, the surging breath began to pour out of his body, his eyes were full of endless battle intent, his eyes flashed, and he said firmly: "So, I want to fight you first." ”

Li Mengzhou looked back at him in a daze, then the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he smiled lightly: "Then I will fight you." ”

The people on the sword platform looked at each other.

But since the words were spoken by He Zhengrong first, they can only be the audience temporarily.

Although I am still a little unwilling, after all, this is the big exam of the Sword Academy, and there are many outsiders watching the ceremony, and no one is a brainless person who can enter the third round, so naturally there is no need to conflict over such a trivial matter, to compete for the first choice, and to be seen as a joke by outsiders.

So they jumped off the sword platform one after another, and deep down they also hoped to see the battle between Li Mengzhou and He Zhengrong.

Li Mengzhou handed the umbrella to Shen Jiyue, boarded the sword platform, and stood face to face with He Zhengrong.

With a soft sound, He Zhengrong's sword was already pointing at Li Mengzhou.

"When we first started, we fought once and had a verbal agreement, and today is the time to keep the agreement. ”

He Zhengrong's eyes burned with flames.

That was his fiery fighting spirit.

Li Mengzhou said: "I'm three years older than you, so you can take out the sword first." ”

He Zhengrong did not refute, and a sword rose in the air.

Li Mengzhou's feet tapped, and his figure drifted to one side.

Under the vast rain curtain, the sword blade was aggressive, smashing thousands of flowers and rain.

He Zhengrong accurately captured Li Mengzhou's whereabouts, the long sword was flung horizontally, and the rain curtain in front of him was cut from it, and the raindrops shot were accompanied by the sword wind to envelop all the retreats around Li Mengzhou.

These raindrops all contain a real sword aura, which is completely like a real sword, and if you choose to ignore it, it will inevitably be a very miserable result.

He Zhengrong performed "Melting Snow", and when the aura of heaven and earth was forbidden, relying purely on skill would naturally greatly reduce the destructive power, but after he understood it, he obviously knew better how to fight the enemy and win.

However, in the face of these rain swords, Li Mengzhou still remained calm, his backward figure stopped suddenly, raised the sword in his hand, and at the same time drew the sword out of its sheath and lay it in front of him.

He opted for a completely hard-to-go approach and used the same sword skills.

Strong collisions.

A sonorous collision sounded in the rain.

The distance between the two men was getting closer and closer, and the faces were almost close at hand.

He Zhengrong raised his head slightly, looked at Li Mengzhou, and said: "At that time, I had already received Amaterasu in the forest in the outer courtyard, but you had just visualized success, the difference is that I can only practice, but you are a martial arts master, I am defeated by you in terms of experience, and I am also defeated by you in terms of strength." And now that we have all entered the realm of inheritance, even if your cultivation is temporarily higher than mine, your sword skills may not be better than mine. ”

Li Mengzhou chuckled and said, "I think you have also comprehended the second form of the Sword Sutra, we might as well show our strongest sword skills and decide the outcome with one sword." ”

The two abruptly separated.

Due to the collision of the mental power of the battle, the rain was almost separated, and at the moment when the mental power disappeared, the rain curtain covered them again, their clothes were wet, and the haze of water mist appeared for a long time within half a meter.

The two looked at each other.

The long swords in their hands drew a clear line of water in the rain curtain, and the white mist formed by the raindrops was ethereal and unstoppable.

The mist did not fade over time, but became more and more intense.

It was as if the two of them were in the clouds above the nine heavens.

Looking at each other from above.

It's a wonderful picture.

There is no killing breath, and there is no magnificent and dazzling color, but it creates a dense fairy aura that seems to be in a fairyland.

The unreserved release of telekinesis shrouded this sword platform.

The powerful qi machine stirred the clouds and rain, shattering all the surrounding rain curtains into a white mist.

Creating conditions without conditions, the two of them each presented the strongest "Flowing Clouds in the Sky".

The presentation of this picture stunned everyone who watched it.

The sound of breaking the air sounded.

The mist lifted.

Countless raindrops brought up countless white water lines, rolling up like holy white lotus flowers rising into the air, gradually fading in the rain curtain.

A snow-bright sword light flashed under the dark rain curtain.

He Zhengrong gasped slightly, his soaked white clothes were tightly attached to his body, and a strand of hair was entangled, wetting his vision, his whole body was tense, and his right hand held the hilt of the sword like steel.

He looked up at the figure in the mist across from him.

There was a touch of excitement in his eyes, a touch of pity, and a touch of indescribable meaning.

After the raindrops poured from high in the sky fell on the sword platform, they splashed in all directions, and the noisy sound of rain affected everyone's mood.

The fading mist revealed Li Mengzhou's figure.

He silently stroked his rain-soaked hair, which was even more messy and tied behind his head with ribbons, and strands of hair on his forehead and cheeks left his skin and were all entangled.

I moved my body a little, and the feeling of wetness was unpleasant.

"I still don't like white clothes very much, and when they get wet, they make it even more embarrassing, but fortunately I don't have clothes in it that I can't see. ”

He subconsciously looked at the female monks of the Sword Academy in the square, because most of them were holding umbrellas, and their clothes were not wet too much, otherwise it would be a very beautiful scenery.

But because Shen Jiyue and a few senior sisters who participated in the big exam did not hold an umbrella in the battle, their figures were clearly presented.

Li Mengzhou felt that this picture should not be watched by many people, so it was better to end this big test as soon as possible.

He looked at He Zhengrong opposite and said, "Do you want to continue?"

The two have already decided the winner.

Although He Zhengrong comprehended "Flowing Clouds in the Sky", he was obviously still a little immature and lost slightly.

He has never been a person who likes to pester, and if he loses, he loses.

So he said very plainly: "I have the opportunity to fight again in the future." ”

Li Mengzhou smiled slightly, he liked the feeling of fighting with He Zhengrong very much, because He Zhengrong was actually very simple, after all, he was only a fifteen-year-old boy.

The difficulties he experienced in the past did not defeat him, but learned how to better protect himself, and the grievances were clear.

He Zhengrong is silent about anyone, and maybe only when facing Li Mengzhou will he say something he wants to say, but the most is the matter of fighting.

After the fight, he also left in style, not wanting to say more nonsense.

Li Mengzhou became more and more dazzling after he couldn't see the name of the Qi Sea, but he naturally would not be willing to do this.

Looking at the whispering figures under the rain curtain and the gazes that were cast at him from time to time, Li Mengzhou suddenly had a very unreal feeling.

He doesn't like to be watched.

But what he has to do is destined to be watched by many people.

This is just a big test in the Sword Academy, and when he really walks in the world, in the face of those peerless demons, the eyes on him will only increase.
