Zhou Luo had already thought of a lot of words, but when he saw Li Mengzhou standing in front of him, he was speechless.

He challenged Li Mengzhou, of course, not because he still had resentment in his heart, nor did he want to help Xin Ming get back face, he didn't have any resentment, and Xin Ming's face should not be found by him.

Since the Question Conference, the two of them have understood the gap between themselves and Li Mengzhou, and they can try their best to catch up, but they will not resent the person who walked in front of them.

Zhou Luo just wanted to fight Li Mengzhou very purely.

Of course, the more important reason is that the participants in the second round are very strong in both cultivation and proficiency in swordsmanship, and Zhou Luo is not sure of winning if he chooses any opponent.

Among the disciples of the outer court, Li Mengzhou is not the only one who has entered the Chengyi Upper Realm, and the disciples who failed in the last big exam, even if they have not entered the realm too much in two years, their grasp of swordsmanship will inevitably be stronger, and there will naturally be many masters who have entered the Chengyi Upper Realm.

As the rules say, the people who can finally enter the inner court to practice are not those who have the highest cultivation, but disciples who have a deeper understanding of kendo.

Under the shroud of the rain, Li Mengzhou looked at the figure in the pavilion and said softly: "Actually, I don't like this kind of occasion very much, it's like juggling for people, being watched by everyone, they are happy, and even have no scruples to comment, which is really annoying." ”

Zhou Luo looked at Li Mengzhou with some astonishment, and said: "Actually, I don't like to be watched, but this is the big exam of the Sword Academy, and it is impossible to do it alone behind your back, only when you are seen can you evaluate the results." ”

Li Mengzhou looked at him and said, "I'm not talking about this matter, the Sword Academy's big examination is a matter within the Sword Academy's gate, why are there so many outsiders appearing? Many of those people's sects are no worse than the Leaving Palace Sword Academy, although they are polite on the surface, but in fact, they are thinking about completely different things in their hearts, and they may even just be watching jokes. ”

Zhou Luo said hesitantly: "It is also common for sects to learn from each other, and the Sword Academy of the Imperial Palace, as the only sword cultivation sect in Jiang Kingdom, even if it declines, it is rare and expensive. It's okay if there are no outsiders to watch the ceremony, since there are outsiders, we should go all out to show the demeanor of our Sword Academy, so that people who watch jokes can no longer laugh. ”

Li Mengzhou said lightly: "It is precisely because the Sword Academy of the Imperial Palace is the only sword cultivation sect in Jiang Country, it is impossible for the disciples of those other sects to learn anything, the sword cultivation is strong in itself, and the powerful is not appreciated at all." ”

"As a disciple of the Sword Academy, if you want to speak up for the Sword Sect, you should directly hit those sects and trample them all under your feet, only then will they really know what Sword Cultivation is. ”

Zhou Luo was surprised, and then smiled: "Sooner or later, there will be this day, let's temporarily divide the winner first, although I know that I can't win against you, but I will still go all out." ”

Maybe it's the sense of belonging to the Sword Academy, Xue Wangwu's help to him, Li Mengzhou is starting to really regard this place as his home, because he doesn't have a home, so he can settle anywhere, but there are still very few places that he is really willing to get close to.

Probably because of this rain, Li Mengzhou thought of Shuning Town, he likes to drink wine under the eaves, enjoy the scenery, and listen to the chatter or quarrels of the neighbors, this kind of happy life is what he yearns for, and it should not belong to him.

Zhou Luo held the sword salute and was ready to let go.

Li Mengzhou was not polite, and the dark blue sword shadow swept out, slashing through the sky, smashing the rain curtain, like a gorgeous rainbow.

His sword is pure, without any emotion.

What he slashed was the tangled and troubled images of the past.

What appeared after the rain was not a rainbow, but a new life that belonged to him.

The boy should have been hot-blooded.

The past is not forgotten, but there is no need to be too entangled, he only needs one person and one sword to kill a broad road of his own.

Zhou Luo was amazed by the sword in front of him.

His breathing came to a complete halt.

It was a sword that he couldn't resist no matter what he did.

He subconsciously had the idea of retreating.

But that thought only faded in a moment.

He clenched the sword in his hand tightly.

He didn't give up, he didn't fear, he just firmly, silently, and resolutely cut out his own sword.

There is a gap that is difficult to cross between the lower realm and the upper realm.

Even if it is just a competition for sword skills, the mental power of a cultivator in the upper realm of Chengyi is far better than that of a cultivator who has just broken into Chengyi, and mental power is a kind of cultivation that is profound, especially after breaking into the realm of Chengyi.

In this way, people with higher cultivation still have an advantage, but on the premise of not using the aura of heaven and earth, there will also be a limit to the distance of mental power, so the advantage does exist, but it can be crossed, as long as the sword skill is pure enough, it can still be easily found loopholes.

And no matter in which aspect, Zhou Luo is far inferior to Li Mengzhou.

So this battle has been decided to end from the beginning.

But what is surprising is that Zhou Luo showed a very wonderful battle, the kind of sword skills that are always used with all his strength even if they can't hurt the opponent, they still move forward bravely, this kind of tragedy similar to a bloody charge in a desperate situation undoubtedly infected everyone present.

Even if this picture lasted for a short time, because Li Mengzhou did not release the water, he was also indomitable, and finally Zhou Luo took more than a dozen steps back one after another and fell to the ground.

It was an expected and unexpected battle.

It's actually hearty and exciting.

Guan Muyun, who was standing on the pavilion, was always paying attention to this battle, because the side of the battle was Li Mengzhou.

He was surprised by Zhou Luo's performance, but he felt that Li Mengzhou's swordsmanship was too proficient.

Although he is not a disciple of the Sword Academy.

But he also knows very clearly that most of the disciples in the outer courtyard of the palace can't comprehend the second form of the "Leaving the Sword Sutra", such as Zhou Luo's "Melting Snow", but it is far inferior to "Flowing Clouds in the Sky".

Li Mengzhou has even cultivated "Flowing Clouds in the Sky" to a complete realm, and can comprehend the third form of "Leaving the Sword Sutra" at any time.

According to the comprehension of sword skills, Li Mengzhou is undoubtedly ahead of all the disciples of the outer court.

Zhong Xiyan sat beside Guan Muyun, saw the picture on the sword platform very clearly through the hazy rain curtain, and laughed softly: "That Zhou Luo failed to comprehend the higher sword skills of the Sword Sutra, and his cultivation was not as good as Li Mengzhou, so it should be a crushing battle. But Zhou Luo played extraordinarily, although this still couldn't change the ending, and even Li Mengzhou just slashed out a sword, but this battle was the most exciting at the moment. ”

Guan Muyun said: "Although the winner is Li Mengzhou, because Zhou Luo himself is at a disadvantage, his extraordinary performance is even more dazzling. ”

Zhong Xiyan said with a smile: "You just saw the appearance, I don't deny that Zhou Luo's performance is indeed rare, and even many people present will subconsciously focus on Zhou Luo's body, not Li Mengzhou as the winner." ”

"Zhou Luo still has room to grow, but he hasn't grown up after all, while Li Mengzhou has really grown, and the competition of pure sword skills will naturally look bells and whistles and look better. But Li Mengzhou slashed out a very critical sword, no matter what kind of performance the opponent has, he only needs one sword to defeat the opponent, if it is a life-and-death battle, Zhou Luo can't even take a sword. ”

Although Li Mengzhou's own realm is higher than Zhou Luo's, they entered the palace at the same time to practice, and Li Mengzhou was inferior to Zhou Luo at that time, so no matter how much room Zhou Luo still has for growth, he is destined to be impossible to surpass Li Mengzhou, and since then, the gap between the two will only get bigger and bigger. ”

The rain was still slowly weaving in the air.

Obscuring most of the world's noises.

In this environment, even the practitioner's hearing will be affected.

Very few people were able to hear the sound of speech on the sword platform, but they were able to see the picture of the battle on the sword platform.

Naturally, I won't hear the details in the pavilion.

Although Zhou Luo's face was pale, he looked at Li Mengzhou with a smile and said, "I lost, and I am very convinced." ”

Li Mengzhou said: "There are many things in the world that cannot be softened, but I can accept only the things in front of me. ”

Zhou Luo shook his head and smiled, slowly stood up, and jumped off the sword platform.

Xin Ming was already waiting, and hurriedly supported Zhou Luo, he had no other extra thoughts, just nodded towards Li Mengzhou, and helped Zhou Luo to temporarily go to a place where he could shelter from the rain to rest.

The Inner Court Examination is still ongoing.

With He Zhengrong and Shen Jiyue winning successively, soon, the third round of challenges will begin.

And the teenagers holding umbrellas in front of the sword platform were only twelve people left.

It was getting dark, and it was dusk.

In half an hour's rest, Fan Wuwei appeared on the sword platform again.

He coughed lightly and said, "You've all done well in the front, especially the individual battles, but I'm going to say that there will be some changes to the rules of the third round of challenges and the first two rounds. ”

"At present, these twelve teenagers are the twelve most outstanding people in the outer courtyard, and there is not much gap between them, even if they all enter the inner courtyard, it is feasible. But I'm sure you'd love to have another fight, because while everyone has been involved in at least two battles in the previous rounds, there are still some people who haven't really faced each other yet. So in the third round you have a chance. ”

Fan Wuwei said loudly: "I can now specify that there are only eight people who can be promoted to the inner courtyard in the end, then there will be four people who will be eliminated, and the rule of the third round is that one person can be selected as an opponent at the same time, and the eight people who win the most games can enter the inner courtyard to practice." ”
