With the end of the fourth round, among the remaining 66 outer disciples, they are basically disciples who have cultivated above the True Qi Realm, and all of them can be regarded as the elite of the outer disciples, so from the fifth round onwards, the excitement of the competition will be greatly improved.

The fourth round is over, and the fifth round will not start until the next day.

On this night, Lu Hao was still practicing basic swordsmanship.

Practicing and practicing, Lu Hao suddenly felt that the sword in his hand was becoming more and more unfamiliar, and the moves he practiced were becoming more and more unsmooth, it seemed that the more he practiced, the worse it became, and his swordsmanship was constantly regressing.

It's like writing a word, and the more you write, the more you look at it, the less you recognize it.

Encountering this situation, Lu Hao was not anxious, but very happy, he knew that this was his entry into another state of perception, everything is from strange to familiar, and then back to a higher level of strangeness, and then a higher level of familiarity, and after a new sense of strangeness, you will find that you have a more thorough understanding of such things, more clearly.

Therefore, Lu Hao continued to practice swords, and he did not fix the sword moves, every move was caused by his heart, and he was completely free to play.

"What is a sword?" Lu Hao suddenly moved in his heart and asked himself.

For the perception of the sword, everyone is different, some people regard the sword as a tool, a weapon to kill, this kind of person is a third-rate swordsman, some people regard it as their friend, their partner, this kind of person is a lonely and lonely swordsman, a second-rate swordsman, and some people regard it as a spiritual pursuit, the belief in their hearts, this kind of talent is the top swordsman who pursues the ultimate in swordsmanship, there is no doubt that Lu Hao is a person who wants to be a third swordsman.

A person who is strong in swordsmanship does not necessarily have a deep study and comprehension of the sword, but a person who has a deep study and comprehension of the sword must be very good at swordsmanship.

When using a sword, the sword seems to be a part of the body, and it can be like an arm and a finger, so how bad will his swordsmanship be?

Lu Hao's sword suddenly became heavy and sluggish, and suddenly became light and agile, a moment unfamiliar as if he touched the sword for the first time, and a moment familiar as if he was a lover, Lu Hao was constantly wandering between these two extreme feelings.

Until the end of sword practice, Lu Hao has never been able to integrate the sword with himself and reach the realm of the unity of human and sword, but he knows that he is close to this realm.

Nothing was said all night.

On the third day, the Outer Disciple Contest entered the fifth round of assessment, and this one was a battle of 66 into 33.

Again, lots are drawn, and then the referee deacon announces the results of the match.

In the fifth round, Lu Hao encountered a strong opponent who was more powerful than the previous ones, his opponent was a disciple with a perfect true qi realm, and he had participated in two outer disciple competitions, the last time the outer disciple competition won the nineteenth place, it is said that this time he can steadily enter the top sixteen.

"Senior Brother Lu, hello, you are very powerful, you actually challenged Hong Guangzong, but if you can't even beat me, I advise you to give up. Chen Qing's face was easy-going, his hair was wantonly scattered, and he felt a little uninhibited.

"Senior brother, give advice. Lu Hao said lightly.

"Okay, but if you still just use basic swordsmanship a few times before, I'm afraid you'll lose this time. Chen Qing also said lightly.

Chen Qing's tone was very flat, but his sword was not weak at all, the sword light rose, and he suddenly slashed out the Dao sword light, not strong but fast, like a wisp of breeze blowing on his face, but with a cold murderous aura.

Breeze swordsmanship!

One of the top lethal swordsmanship of the True Qi Realm swordsmanship, this swordsmanship is characterized by being pervasive, like a breeze, but it is extremely lethal.

Before the sword arrived, a strong wind blew Lu Hao's cheeks painfully.

"Good swordsmanship!" Lu Hao's eyes lit up, and he immediately began to fight back, but he still didn't use any killing moves and hole cards, it was still a basic swordsmanship, a basic swordsmanship that had reached the peak of the Profound Level.

Chen Qing's attack is faster than a sword, and the sword is tricky, specializing in the vital and dangerous places of the human body, if ordinary people are afraid of it, they will be in a hurry.

However, Lu Hao's sword speed was also extremely fast, and every time he seemed to predict the opponent's sword, blocking Chen Qing's attack wave.

Chen Qing's sword moves were like a gust of wind, wanting to break through Lu Hao's defense, but the sword curtain laid by Lu Hao was always as stable as Mount Tai, without revealing a single flaw.

"Breeze to kill!"

Chen Qing suddenly changed a killing move in the strong offensive, and a cyan sword twisted and slashed towards Lu Hao, this is a big killing move, the power is not very good, but the victory is weird and surprising, it can make the opponent panic and break the opponent's rhythm.

However, to his disappointment, Lu Hao seemed to have already sensed that he was gathering momentum to make a move, and at the moment he made a move, he also slashed out a blue sword ray, blocking his attack.

"Your swordsmanship is superior to the pervasiveness of your sword speed and attacks, but unfortunately your sword speed is not the fastest, and your attacks are not completely pervasive. Lu Hao said lightly.

Suddenly, Lu Hao's sword move changed, no longer a simple defense, but a sharp sword, almost the same attack, like the wind, denser and more urgent than Chen Qing's attack.

In the face of Lu Hao's dense attack, Chen Qing suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and barely raised his sword to block Lu Hao's first few swords, and then it was already a big mess.

When it came to the seventh sword, it was no longer able to stop, and it was pressed against Lu Hao's throat with a sword.

Lu Hao defeated Chen Qing with the same sword move.

"I'm defeated. Chen Qing said convincingly.

In the fifth round, Lu Hao won.

"It's amazing! It seems that this Lu Hao really has two hits, even Chen Qing has been defeated, it seems that he really has strength, and he has only used basic swordsmanship until now. ”

"That's right, I'm sure now that he still retains his strength, maybe he can really compete with Hong Guangzong and others, and he is not a brainless person. ”

"It's going to be fun right now. ”

After this round of competition, many outer disciples began to change their opinion of Lu Hao, and even faintly looked forward to his performance, wanting to see how strong he was.

"This guy is good and can be my opponent. In the crowd, the corners of Xiao Longyun's mouth raised and he smiled lightly.

"Hmph, carving insect skills. Hong Guangzong also glanced at the crowd and said disdainfully.

Except for those ordinary disciples, the real outer disciple elite only looked at Lu Hao a little differently, but they did not rise to the level of worry or threat.

"When did this guy become so powerful, and now he is so famous among the entire outer disciples. In the crowd, there was also a beautiful figure looking at Lu Hao's figure and muttering to herself.

This person is Han Qingxue, whom Lu Hao once pursued, and now her heart can be described as mixed.

Back then, when Lu Hao chased her, Han Qingxue always treated him as a follower, very annoying, Lu Hao was a nobody at that time, no one would pay attention to him, Han Qingxue naturally looked down on him.

Half a year ago, when Lu Hao became an outer disciple, Han Qingxue, who got the news, was only slightly stunned and didn't pay much attention.

However, just three days ago, suddenly the news that Lu Hao was going to fight a life-and-death duel with Hong Guangzong was spread throughout the outer gate, and suddenly Lu Hao was talked about countless times, talked about countless times, and Lu Hao's shadow was everywhere he went, and he actually became the focus of attention of the entire outer sect disciples, which made Han Qingxue completely surprised, and even a little shocked.

This person who she once didn't even look at is able to stir up such a big storm now.

Although Han Qingxue is very beautiful, her strength is not strong, and she was eliminated early, if it is usual, she must be the object of attention of the outer disciples, but in the outer disciple competition, everyone pays more attention to the wonderful competition, so a beauty like her can only be ignored.

Although Han Qingxue's strength is not strong, she likes the strong, and she has always believed that God gave her beauty, so that the strong can match her.

Originally, Lu Hao was not worth her glance at, just because his strength was too poor, but the rise in just half a year suddenly made Han Qingxue's heart a little strange.

"Boy, I'll beat you back to where you were. Looking at Han Qingxue, who was a little strange, the handsome young man Ding Xiu clenched the hilt of his sword and swore secretly in his heart.

Soon, the 33 matches of the fifth round were over.

After a short break, there will be a new draw, but there will be an extra game.

During this period, all the outer disciples were discussing the wonderful competition of this year's outer disciple competition, and many were guessing the top sixteen places in this competition.

"The vast majority of the top sixteen places must be the old people of the previous session, and the top 20 in the last session have the opportunity to compete for the top sixteen, such as Senior Brother Hong Guangzong, Senior Brother Fang Qingyun, Senior Brother Bai Yunzhan, Senior Sister He Bingyun, Senior Brother Ding Xiu, Senior Brother Zhao Zijun, Senior Brother Lin Chongshan, Senior Brother Jin Tong, Senior Brother Han Sheng, Senior Brother Li Shoumu, these are all the top 16 in the last session. ”

"We've all heard these names, but do you know who is stronger and who is weak?"

"It's hard to say which is stronger or weaker, a year has passed, and the realm of each senior brother and sister may be different, but those who have watched the last competition basically know the strengths of some senior brothers and sisters. ”

"Senior Brother Li Shoumu, twenty-three this year, is the oldest outer disciple, he has participated in three outer disciple competitions, his swordsmanship is good at defense, not good at attacking, so he ranked fifteenth in the last competition, if he can't break through the True Yuan Realm this year, he can only become an outer deacon. "The Nanling Sword Sect has a rule that if a registered disciple can't break through the True Qi Realm before the age of eighteen, he will be sent home, and an outer disciple can't break through the True Yuan Realm before the age of twenty-four, and can only become an outer deacon.

"Senior Brother Lin Chongshan, twenty-one this year, has also participated in two outer disciple competitions, ranked tenth in the last competition, his swordsmanship is also known for its heaviness, but compared to the brute strength of Senior Brother Jin and Bronze, his swordsmanship pays more attention to the power of the sword, rather than his own brute force. ”

"Senior Brother Zhao Zijun, twenty this year, has participated in a foreign disciple competition, ranked ninth in the last competition, his swordsmanship is orthodox, very steady, quite a gentleman's style. ”

"Senior Brother Ding Xiu, nineteen this year, participated in an outer disciple competition, ranked eighth in the last competition, his swordsmanship takes the technical route, he is good at capturing the flaws of others, and his basic swordsmanship is also the best in the entire outer door, of course, now there is a Lu Hao in the outer door. ”

"Senior Brother Bai Yunzhan, twenty-one this year, ranked sixth in the last competition, he is known for his light skills, only fast and unbreakable, and his swordsmanship is also first-class. ”
