Chapter 19: Luo Tianle's Battle
The other side.
Xu Anping didn't know that he was almost found fault, and stood in the corner of the crowd unconsciously, waiting for the opening of the sect's martial arts.
The sect's martial arts will be held once a month, and all formal disciples who have been in the school for more than half a year and have no assignment tasks must participate, the purpose is to verify the disciples' cultivation progress and motivate everyone to practice diligently through the reward and punishment system.
Xu Anping has only been an official disciple for a month, so naturally he doesn't need to participate.
He came here mainly to observe the battles of other disciples, so as to understand his own strength positioning, and by the way, to increase his combat experience and insight.
Waited for a pillar of incense or so.
All the official disciples who participated in the school martial arts arrived, and Zheng Fengyu, the elder of the Gonggong Sect, also came to the scene in person.
After a few brief words, Zheng Fengyu took out a list prepared in advance and arranged for several deacons to start counting the numbers.
After the inventory is completed.
A voice that was neither humble nor arrogant suddenly sounded.
"Elder, disciple Luo Tianle, although it has only been four months since he got started, he also wants to participate in the martial arts of the sect and see the might of your senior brothers and sisters."
Hearing this, there was a buzz of discussion in the crowd.
"He really came to participate in the school martial arts!"
"The sect's school martial arts are only rewarded for the top ten, otherwise there is no point in participating, could it be that he thinks that he is expected to achieve the top ten?"
"Could it be that he has won a few challenges during this time, and he thinks that the strength of all his senior brothers and sisters is nothing more than that?"
"If I'm not mistaken, the people he challenged are just mediocre people, they haven't been in the beginners for a long time, and their strength is also average, if they win against them, they dare to look down on others, Luo Tianle, this kid is really too arrogant and ignorant!"
"After the meeting, I will definitely teach him a good lesson and let him know that we senior brothers are not qualified to be underestimated."
On the high platform in front of the martial arts arena.
Zheng Fengyu turned his eyes and looked at Luo Tianle who was standing with his head held high in the crowd, and said loudly:
"Accurate!"
"Luo Tianle will also be included in the lineup of this school martial arts, and next, start the draw to fight."
One of the deacons immediately took out a small dark brown wooden plaque, engraved Luo Tianle's name on it, and put it in the wooden box used for the lottery.
Next.
The two deacons began to draw lots one by one to determine the order of everyone's battles and chanted them one by one.
"A word No. 1, the year is flying white."
"No. 2, Niu Huan."
"B word No. 1, Hu Anzhi."
"No. 2, Ke Feiyue."
……
After arranging the order of the battle, the crowd dispersed to a corner of the martial arts arena, and a large open space was used as the battle ring, and four groups of opponents were arranged to fight each other, and the four deacons were the referees.
As the battle began, the crowd immediately erupted in bursts of cheers.
Fight after fight.
Xu Anping looked solemn, meticulously observing the two sides of the battle, and substituted himself for one of them, trying to rehearse the battle in his mind.
In the martial arts of the sect, the martial arts used by the disciples are varied, but one law, ten thousand laws, Xu Anping has mastered the three-talent swordsmanship at the proficient level, and he can roughly judge the level of other martial arts.
He found that among the fifty or sixty formal disciples, only a dozen or so had reached the level of proficiency in martial arts, and most of them were only able to reach the entry level, and there were even a few who could only perform inappropriate moves at a glance, and occasionally they were in a hurry, obviously not even reaching the beginning of martial arts.
"It seems that in terms of martial arts alone, I am indeed in the middle and upper echelons of the formal disciple group."
"In terms of cultivation, my single-arm strength has reached about one hundred and seventy catties, which belongs to the level between the middle and late stages of the cultivation realm, even those senior brothers in the late stage of the cultivation realm are only about thirty catties more than me, which is not much of a gap."
"Among these people, some are only good at martial arts, some are only outstanding in cultivation, and those who are good at both are good at the same time, at present, there are no more than ten people."
"So, with my current strength, I should have a chance to rank in the top ten of the sect's martial arts."
"In other aspects, there may be some gaps in actual combat experience."
Xu Anping silently assessed.
At this moment, a discussion drew his attention.
"Look, Luo Tianle is about to appear."
"His opponent is Han Teng, there is a good show to watch now, although Han Teng has never achieved the top ten rankings, he is also a well-known master."
"The most important thing is that he is not a good stubble, he has always been hot-tempered and ruthless, and he may beat Luo Tianle to a serious injury."
"Luo Tianle, this kid has been too powerful recently, and it is indeed time to suppress it, otherwise everyone will think that our senior brothers are nothing more than Erer."
When Xu Anping turned his head to look, he happened to see Luo Tianle and a young man start a battle.
The two of them each held wooden swords, tossing and turning in the area of the circular ring drawn by the red line.
"Bang bang bang!"
Dense dull collisions rang out one after another.
No temptation, no nonsense.
The battle began to heat up.
The fierce battle soon attracted the attention of many people, including Zheng Fengyu, the elder of the Gong Transmission on the high platform, who also set his eyes on the two.
"The Four Seas Sword Technique, it has really reached the proficient level, this kid's understanding is really good."
"Moreover, reaching the cultivation realm in eight months shows that the root bone talent is not bad."
"It's just that after all, the combat experience is lacking, obviously not having an advantage, but also greedy for merit, eager to win, three times and twice risky to attack, so it is easy to fall into passivity."
"It seems that he will soon be defeated."
Just when Zheng Fengyu was thinking like this, Luo Tianle was really caught by the opponent after an offensive mistake and slashed on his arm with a sword.
Under the severe pain, Luo Tianle instinctively screamed in pain, and the wooden sword flew out of his hand.
The young man named Han Teng didn't mean to stop at all, but instead stabbed Luo Tianle in the waist and abdomen with a sword non-stop.
Just when everyone thought that Luo Tianle was going to lose, what no one noticed was that Luo Tianle's eyes suddenly changed, and his eyes were full of fierceness.
His figure shifted slightly, and instead of retreating, he advanced, and rushed towards the wooden sword in Han Teng's hand.
"Whew!"
Although the wooden sword did not have a blade, under the strong speed and strength, it also had good lethality, instantly cutting through Luo Tianle's clothes and leaving a scratch on his body.
The flesh rolls out to the sides.
Blood began to gush outward.
Luo Tianle was unaware of all this, and the whole person rushed to Han Teng, his left arm tightened, holding and clamping the opponent's sword-holding right arm.
Then, the head is thrown back sharply, and the strength is charged!
"Bump!"
Luo Tianle's head was like a meteor, and he slammed his head into Han Teng's face, smashing it to the point that his skin was open and his blood was sprayed.
