Chapter Ninety-Six: The Comprehensive Contest Begins, and the Privilege of the First Place

"Why are you here?"

Liu Zhi asked angrily.

"I'm not here for you."

Wu Lingzhao was slightly angry, walked into the living room angrily, and found a chair to sit down.

Seeing this, Lu Fan understood, these two people seemed to be having an awkward relationship?

"What are you doing at my house if you don't look for me?"

Liu Zhi glanced at Wu Lingzhao, his attitude was a little cold, "Are you here to find trouble?" ”

"I'm looking for him!"

Wu Lingzhao suddenly pointed at Lu Fan with his finger.

"Huh?"

Liu Zhi was stunned.

Lu Fan was also a little surprised.

"Looking for Lu Fan?"

Liu Zhi was puzzled and blurted out, "Don't you look down on him?" ”

"What are you talking nonsense?"

Wu Lingzhao glanced at Liu Zhi, "I've never said that. ”

"But that's your attitude."

Liu Zhi pursed his lips, "I can see it, and Lu Fan can naturally see it too." ”

"I'm too lazy to talk to you."

Wu Lingzhao turned his gaze to Lu Fan and looked at him carefully.

The gaze is very bold and unabashed.

"Aren't you curious why I'm looking for you?"

"Not curious."

Lu Fan shook his head slightly, he was not only curious, but also uninterested.

Although he had only taken two faces, he could also see Wu Lingzhao's temperament, rudeness, willfulness, and a bit of arrogance.

No matter how beautiful he looks, he doesn't like it.

"Alas!"

Wu Lingzhao suddenly sighed and muttered, "I originally wanted to give you a chance, but since you have this attitude, forget it." ”

Lu Fan didn't answer, he even felt a little funny.

Is this an attempt to get away with it?

A little girl, who used the art of war on him?

"Why don't you speak?"

Wu Lingzhao glanced at Lu Fan.

Lu Fan still didn't say anything.

"You're so boring."

Wu Lingzhao was a little embarrassed, and said coldly: "How is it like a piece of wood?" ”

"That's Lu Fan calm, too lazy to tell you more."

Liu Zhi couldn't stand it anymore, and continued: "You are so impetuous, how can you see that Lu Fan is good?" ”

"Huh?"

Wu Lingzhao was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Why don't you hurry up and let people serve tea?" Is this your hospitality? ”

"Oh, yes."

Liu Zhi patted his head, "How did I forget about this?" It's all your fault, you messed up my brain. ”

"Come on, you."

Wu Lingzhao pursed his lips, "Can you blame me for anything?" ”

"Come on, watch the tea."

Liu Zhi shouted.

"Yes."

The maid came over and poured tea for the three of them.

"What kind of cultivation are you?"

Wu Lingzhao tilted his head and glanced at Lu Fan, "It should be able to reach the first grade, right?" ”

"It's not even close."

After speaking, Lu Fan picked up the teacup and slowly took a sip of tea.

"I didn't expect that you are a small soldier, with no identity background, and you can have this strength."

Wu Lingzhao said: "I underestimated you before. ”

"What's wrong with the creeps?"

Liu Zhi answered: "The generals and marshals in the army, which one didn't come from a small soldier?" ”

"Did I talk to you?"

Wu Lingzhao turned his head and glared at Liu Zhi, "Do you need to interject?" ”

"What are you looking for Lu Fan? Hurry up. ”

Liu Zhi looked a little impatient, "Hurry up and leave after speaking, don't delay me and Lu Fan to catch up." ”

"He asked me before he said."

Wu Lingzhao pointed at Lu Fan with his finger, "When others ask me, I won't say it." ”

Lu Fan still didn't answer.

He didn't want to ask.

It's better if the other party doesn't say it, and it can make him less troublesome.

He was too lazy to deal with Wu Lingzhao.

"You can really hold your breath."

Wu Lingzhao rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "I came to you for a great good thing, please participate in it, and after the matter is completed, it will be of great benefit." ”

"Especially for you, it's definitely a great opportunity."

"I came to you because you were good."

"If you were someone else, even if you begged me, I wouldn't take him."

Wu Lingzhao had a cunning look in his eyes, "If you miss it, you will have to regret it in the future." ”

"You'd better find someone else."

Lu Fan clearly refused this time, "There are so many masters in the capital, my strength is really nothing, and I am just a small soldier, no matter my identity or status, I am too far behind, so I won't follow it." ”

"You man!"

Wu Lingzhao was angry, "Why can't you listen to what you say?" ”

Lu Fan stopped talking, picked up the teacup again, and slowly tasted the tea.

"I said you don't have to bother."

Liu Zhi said with a smile on the side: "If you really want to ask Lu Fan to do something, take out your family heirloom exercises and let Lu Fan see it, otherwise you should be exempted." ”

"Lu Fan is a martial arts idiot, and he is only interested in martial arts."

Liu Zhi reminded him in person: "If you want to impress Lu Fan, you have to do what you like, understand?" ”

"Think beautifully!"

Wu Lingzhao stood up with a sigh and walked out without looking back.

Before leaving, she left a sentence, "You wait and see, without Lu Fan, I will also do this." ”

"Lu Fan, don't be surprised."

Liu Zhi smiled: "She has such a temper, but she is not a bad person." ”

"Nothing."

Lu Fan smiled, "Anyway, I won't have much to do with her in the future, and it doesn't matter to me what she is." ”

"Not necessarily."

Liu Zhi's expression was a little playful, as if he meant something, "What she recognizes, she won't let go easily." ”

"What I hold on to will not change."

Lu Fan waved his hand, "Okay, let's not talk about her." ”

"Alright, let's take a seat."

Liu Zhi got up and said, "At noon today, I will definitely accompany you to have a few drinks." ”

"Okay."

Lu Fan also got up.

The two of them came to the dining room one after the other.

The cold dishes have been put on the table, and the hot dishes have begun to be served.

The two sat down, and the wine was full.

Liu Zhi raised his glass, "Come, I respect you, and I wish you another place in the next competition." ”

"Thank you."

Lu Fan raised his glass in response.

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

……

……

Three days later.

May 20th.

Morning.

The last item of the big competition, the comprehensive strength competition, officially began.

All the contestants participated.

More than 400 people in total.

However, in the previous individual competitions, the players who won the ranking will have a bit of a privilege.

Third place, bye first round.

The second place winner will have two byes.

And Lu Fan, the only leader, can have three byes.

In this way, he will have more free time to cultivate.

Therefore, he didn't go to the martial arts arena to watch the battle, so he stayed in the post house to practice.

Ye Wuchen didn't go, but was sleeping.

At noon, the two went out to have some food and came back to continue.

It wasn't until the evening that the inn came back to life.

In the dining room, everyone sat around and ate.

Before he could speak, he sighed.

"Alas!"

"What a miserable loss."

"The Guards are so unbelievable."

"Deliberately arranged a stronger opponent for us."

"As a result, almost all of the Imperial Guards were promoted, and we were almost wiped out."

Everyone's expressions were quite angry, as if they had been calculated.

"What's going on?"

Ye Wuchen was a little puzzled.

"Well, don't mention it."

Cao Ning sighed: "I don't know who arranged the match, the opponent we met was just stronger than us, but as a result, we didn't advance, even Qin Yu was eliminated, and only you and Lu Fan were left in our Zhennan Army." ”

"It's the same with the other border troops."

Meng Ran interjected: "Almost all the troops were wiped out. ”

"Oh?"

Ye Wuchen understood a little and guessed: "Is it Li Chengan who figured out the strength of everyone, and then grouped them according to their strength, all of them are fighting against the Imperial Forest Army and the border army?" As a result, each group is won by the Guardsmen? ”

"Pretty much."

Cao Ning nodded, and said angrily: "I think it's deliberate, the Royal Forest Army lost face in the single competition, and wants to get it back in the comprehensive competition." ”

"What's the use?"

Meng Ran pursed his lips, "If you can't get the first name, it's still for nothing." ”

"yes."

Song Yu echoed: "The first place must still be Lu Fan's, Yan Qing lost to Lu Fan, who else will be Lu Fan's opponent?" ”

"Not necessarily."

Ye Wuchen shook his head.

"Huh?"

Everyone was stunned and stared at Ye Wuchen.

"You have all seen that the gap between Yan Qing's strength and Lu Fan is not big."

Ye Wuchen explained: "If Yan Qing breaks through the realm in the past few days and is promoted to the first grade, then his strength will definitely increase significantly, and even if Lu Fan faces him at that time, he may not be able to win." ”

"Huh?"

"Really?"

Everyone looked at Lu Fan and wanted to hear what he had to say.

"That's true."

Lu Fan nodded, "Yan Qing's cultivation is infinitely close to the first grade, and he may be promoted at any time, if he can really be promoted to the first rank in the next few days, maybe he may really be able to win me." ”

"It's okay, you may also be promoted to a product."

"Yes, don't worry."

"You're going to win."

Everyone was cheering for Lu Fan.

"Thank you."

Lu Fan was naturally not worried.

He has more than enough hole cards to deal with all kinds of situations.

Accidents must never be allowed to happen.

This time, he won the first place.

Human-level exercises, you must get your hands on them!

……

……

Eight days have passed in the blink of an eye.

May 28th.

Morning.

Lu Fan once again stood on the competition platform, and his opponent was Meng Yu.

This is the second time the two have played each other.

It's just that last time it was a body comparison, and this time Lu Fan used his fists.

The competition in recent days has been like this.

Lu Fan didn't need to use weapons.

For him, fists are more reflective of his physical strength, and it is easier to play to his agility and physical strengths.

Especially in one-on-one jousting, fists seem to be more effective.

Moreover, he likes the feeling of punching to the flesh, and he plans to use his fist all the time in the subsequent competitions.

Today is sixteen into eight.

Lu Fan and Meng Yu stood facing each other.

Meng Yu with a knife.

"Lu Fan!"

"Lu Fan!"

"Lu Fan!"

Before the competition began, a uniform shout was already ringing in the stands.

Lu Fan's name resounded in the sky above the martial arts arena.

Recently, as long as there is Lu Fan's competition, it is the same.

Today's Lu Fan undoubtedly has the most supporters.

Even Yan Qing's popularity is not as good as his.

And it's far from it.

There are also many children of the family who came to watch Lu Fan's martial arts competition, and they also cheered for him in the stands.

Its fanaticism is no worse than that of ordinary soldiers.

Even more.

"Let's get started."

Lu Fan nodded to Meng Yu.

"Okay."

Meng Yu had already grasped the handle of the knife, and with a slight draw, the knife was already out of the sheath.

A cold light flashed.

Like lightning, he slashed towards the top of Lu Fan's head.

Lu Fan didn't dodge, but faced the sword light and threw a punch.

The speed of this punch was extremely fast, and Meng Yu didn't have time to change his moves.

What's more, he is a knife, and Lu Fan is a fist.

If he fights hard, he will also take advantage.

Between the lightning and flint, Lu Fan's fist slammed into the blade.

"Bang!"

Iron filings flying.

The knife in Meng Yu's hand was smashed to pieces, and only a handle remained, which was still in his hand.

Before he could react, Lu Fan's fist was already imprinted on his abdomen.

"Ahh

Meng Yu screamed and flew out.

"Good!"

Thunderous applause and cheers erupted from the stands.

Especially the VIP seats, those children of the family, are even more energetic.

Although Lu Fan only threw a punch, it also made them addicted.

"Lu Fansheng!"

As the referee announced loudly, Lu Fan stepped down from the competition platform.

He didn't stop, but walked directly to the outside of the martial arts arena.

At the same time, there are also those children of the family who left.

Almost instantly, the VIP seats were more than half empty.

Lu Fan walked out of the barracks, and there were bursts of hurried footsteps behind him, as well as anxious shouts, "Lu Fan, please wait a minute." ”

He looked back and saw more than a dozen young men and women chasing him out.

It was the children of the family who were cheering for him in the martial arts arena just now.

Not very old.

The youngest is only eleven or twelve years old, and the older one is only fifteen or sixteen.

They looked at Lu Fan with admiration in their eyes, and there was a little admiration.

"Lu Fan, you are so powerful."

"Great!"

"I admire you so much."

"When will you teach us a few tricks?"

Everyone was gossiping to express their excitement.

Some people also took the opportunity to introduce themselves, hoping to attract Lu Fan's attention.

"My name is Lin Wan'er."

"My name is Su Rou!"

"My name is Qin Yun."

In particular, a few young girls are particularly active.

even moved his hand and pulled Lu Fanla.

"Don't do that."

Lu Fan didn't use much force, and several girls quickly retracted their hands as if they were electrocuted.

He hurried away.

"Don't go!"

The girls stomped their feet, and then ran a few steps, trying to catch up with Lu Fan, but found that they were chasing farther and farther.

They could only stop helplessly, looking at Lu Fan's back unwillingly.

The expressions are different.

……

……

A few days later.

Eight into four have all ended.

Lu Fan easily defeated Mu Yan again and advanced to the semifinals.

The other three people who were promoted were Ye Wuchen, Yan Qing, and Zhu Jingtian.

This is also the four strongest people in this competition, which can be described as expected.

The second day of June.

Morning.

In the first game of the four into two, Yan Qing defeated Zhu Jingtian and successfully advanced to the finals.

Afternoon.

In the second game of four into two, Lu Fan fought against Ye Wuchen.

On the stage.

The two stood facing each other, and Lu Fan was still empty-handed.

Ye Wuchen still uses a knife.

Both of them knew in their hearts that this was the result of Li Chengan's deliberate arrangement.

Let the two meet in advance and consume each other as much as possible.

so that Yan Qing can make a profit.

But there is no way, after all, it is in the territory of the Royal Forest Army, and Li Chengan still has this bit of power.

It's just that in this way, only one of Lu Fan and Ye Wuchen can enter the final finals.

It's impossible to win the top two.

"Lu Fan!"

"Ye Wuchen!"

"Come on!"

A tsunami rang out from the stands.

The vast majority of people were shouting Lu Fan's name.

There are very few people who shout Ye Wuchen.

Even if Ye Wuchen won the second place in the individual competition, he was still low-key.

It's hard to notice him.

"Lu Fan, come on!"

Liu Zhi came again, and deliberately raised his hands to cheer for Lu Fan.

Sitting next to him was Liu Mei.

Completely different from Liu Zhi's excitement, Liu Mei was still silent.

"Let's get started."

Lu Fan and Ye Wuchen glanced at each other and shot almost at the same time.

"Whew!"

Ye Wuchen waved his hand casually, and the powerful sword intent rushed out, like a hurricane, sweeping towards Lu Fan.

Lu Fan sighed secretly in his heart, Ye Wuchen's strength had made great progress, and he used the best sword intent as soon as he came up.

No need to keep your hands open!

Hit hard!

This knife is more powerful than before.

And Ye Wuchen is also more calm, he doesn't need to use all his strength, as long as he waves his hand, he can condense the sword intent.

It seems that the last battle made Ye Wuchen feel a lot, and it was even possible to break through the realm because of it.

Won't it be promoted to a product, right?

Lu Fan didn't have time to think about it, seeing that the sword intent was coming, instead of retreating, he rushed forward violently, and his body jumped high.

Being in the air, he suddenly punched.

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang, and suddenly the wind was raging, and the sand and stones danced wildly.

Lu Fan shuttled through the knife intent, even faster than lightning, and in an instant, he passed through the layers of knife intent, came to Ye Wuchen, and slammed his fist down.

Ye Wuchen was shocked.

Just a few days ago, he was successfully promoted, and now he is a first-class cultivator.

This made him full of confidence, and he felt that he would definitely be able to defeat Lu Fan and win the first place in the comprehensive competition.

But he didn't expect that Lu Fan could completely ignore his sword intent.

How strong does it take to do that?

Although Lu Fan's punch offset part of the power of the sword intent, after all, it was a mortal body, how could it be so strong?

Can you ignore the damage?

Alchemy!

It turned out that this was Lu Fan's greatest reliance.

Ye Wuchen finally figured out what knife techniques, marksmanship, hidden weapons, archery, and even boxing techniques were all taken out by Lu Fan casually.

A strong body is Lu Fan's most powerful weapon.

This guy!

How much strength is hidden?

All kinds of means, simply endless.

"Bang!"

Lu Fan's fist had already arrived, and it smashed Ye Wuchen's blade, making a roar.

The majestic power followed the blade and entered Ye Wuchen's body, exploding inside him.

"Boom!"

Ye Wuchen was hit hard, his body shook a few times, he didn't stand firm, and he continued to retreat.

Lu Fan didn't give the other party a chance to breathe at all, and rushed towards Ye Wuchen with his fist again.

Now that we have taken the lead, we must take advantage of the victory to pursue and firmly grasp the initiative in our hands.

He knew that the reason why he was able to achieve such a result was that Ye Wuchen underestimated his strength.

also underestimated the strength of his physical body.

Only by surprise can we attack it unprepared.

If he did it again, if Ye Wuchen was on guard, it would be difficult for him to gain such an advantage.

"Good!"

Seeing Lu Fan rushing over, Ye Wuchen not only did not panic, but shouted hello.

At the same time, the knife in his hand slashed out continuously.

One after another, the violent sword intent slashed out, like layers of huge waves, superimposed on each other, with endless momentum, about to engulf Lu Fan.

"Whoosh!"

Lu Fan's body flew into the air like a sharp arrow.

But the furious sword intent followed him like a shadow, sweeping towards him.

Reaching the highest point, Lu Fan began to dive downward.

The speed is higher than when rising.

At the same time, his fist swung downward.

He jumped so high, although he couldn't completely avoid the layers of knife intent, but at least he could avoid part of it.

It saves him some effort.

"Boom!"

As soon as his fist and sword intent came into contact, there was a thud.

Then there was a constant roar, like thunder exploding in everyone's ears.

Lu Fan went from top to bottom, through layers of knife intent, and finally came to Ye Wuchen.

And with that, his fists.

"Bang!"

This punch smashed the knife body, but the power passed through the knife body and transmitted to Ye Wuchen's body.

Lu Fan's control over his power has been perfected, and he can do this with ease.

Airstrike!

Ye Wuchen snorted, and his body retreated again and again, wanting to remove the power that Lu Fan had left in his body.

But Lu Fan didn't give him a chance to breathe at all, his body rushed forward violently, and he pounced on him again.

Punch at the same time.

Ye Wuchen had a big headache.

He fought hard twice just now, and he suffered a dark loss.

Although he was not injured yet, his qi and blood were surging non-stop, and he was on the verge of being injured.

Moreover, he has been completely passive.

It seems impossible to win back the initiative.

This guy is really unforgiving.

didn't have time to think about it, Ye Wuchen could only swing the knife again.

Lu Fan had already prepared, and his body rose into the air again, avoiding the edge for the time being.

"Whew!"

The furious sword intent rose into the sky, and in an instant, it came to Lu Fan and slashed down at him.

Ye Wuchen had no reservations and used all his strength.

"Good!"

"Come on!"

The stands erupted in cheers again, cheering on the two players.

"It's so exciting!"

There were also people in the VIP seats who raised their arms and shouted.

"It's so strong."

"These two teenagers are amazing!"

"At a young age, I reached a first-grade cultivation."

"And looking at Lu Fan's appearance, it seems that he hasn't used all his strength yet?"

"It's really amazing."

The sound of everyone's discussion came into Liu Zhi's ears, and he smiled happily when he heard it.

Liu Mei on the side frowned, and his eyes were fixed on Lu Fan, as if he wanted to see through this person.

"Sister, I advise you to cancel your previous thoughts."

Liu Zhi saw Liu Mei's expression, thinking that she was worried about the competition in a few days, and persuaded: "You have also seen that Lu Fan's strength is changing every day, and after a few days, you may really not be his opponent." ”

"You know what?"

Liu Mei took the opportunity to teach a lesson: "Cultivating martial arts to the end, cultivating is the heart." We warriors should move forward, even if we know that we will lose, we will never look back! ”

"If I don't dare to compare, it will break my Dao heart."

"In that case, there's a good chance that my cultivation will come to a standstill."

"Don't think about advancing to the Innate Realm in the future."

As he spoke, Liu Mei glared at Liu Zhi, "Got it?" ”

"Oh."

Liu Zhi understood and nodded.

On the stage.

Lu Fan and Ye Wuchen were fighting fiercely.

The two continued to fight hard, Lu Fan continued to expand his advantages, while Ye Wuchen became more and more passive.

The continuous sword intent made Ye Wuchen's spiritual power consume a lot.

At the same time, Lu Fan's impact again and again caused continuous damage to Ye Wuchen's body.

After dozens of moves.

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang.

Lu Fan once again passed through the layers of sword intent, came to Ye Wuchen, and swung his fist fiercely.

"Bang!"

His fist slammed into the blade, and iron filings flew wildly.

The knife in Ye Wuchen's hand broke inch by inch, turned into slag, and scattered all over the ground.

Lu Fan's fist did not stop, and under Ye Wuchen's defenselessness, it slammed into his chest.

"Bang!"

With a bang, Ye Wuchen flew out.

"Lu Fansheng!"

The referee ended the contest in a timely manner.

"Good!"

There were cheers in the stands, and almost everyone stood up and applauded Lu Fan.

The shock that Lu Fan brought to them did not dissipate for a long time.

It turns out that a person's flesh can be so strong.

Not only can he ignore the sword, but even the sword intent can't hurt him in the slightest.

It's too strong!
