Chapter Twenty-Five: Defending Success
Only one hundred and thirty people signed up to compete for the ten inner disciples. These 130 people have all won all the way from the beginning of the shortlisted competition.
It can be said that everyone who has come this far has their own merits!
Those who can come this far, either, are the children of those big families. These big families, which have been inherited for many years, are themselves equivalent to a small sect. All kinds of exercises, supernatural powers, spiritual weapons, and elixirs, these are not lacking. In such an environment, personal growth will naturally be much faster.
There is also a kind of loose cultivation that is those who are born in the rivers and lakes. These casual cultivators are usually martial arts masters of a certain Jianghu sect in the past, or a Taoist priest of a certain Taoist temple, who inadvertently obtained some exercises left by their predecessors and embarked on the road of cultivating immortals. These casual cultivators will generally have a strong combat effectiveness during the Qi refining period. Because the battle in the Qi refining period is actually very similar to the battle of martial arts masters. Even those low-level spells such as fire bomb techniques, in the eyes of these casual cultivators who were born in the rivers and lakes, are just a special hidden weapon.
And these loose cultivators from the rivers and lakes often look down on those children of the family. I feel that they are just relying on the pills to accumulate some cultivation, and relying on spiritual weapons to gain some combat power.
And Lu Yingjie is by no means a child of such a family! When it comes to cultivation, he has to be better than these monks present! In terms of combat experience, he is also not inferior to these loose cultivators!
The Lu family also fostered some gangs in the secular world! And when Lu Yingjie was thirteen years old, he trained in the gangs in the secular world, assumed the name Lu Jian, and became famous with his sword, and even had the nickname of "Rain Sword" on the rivers and lakes.
After defeating Ding Yuan in the ring just now, Lu Yingjie also kept his hand, and he didn't show his true strength at all! Edgeworth's confrontation with the enemy in the air was just a new attempt by him to fuse swordsmanship into Edgeworth! His real hole card was still swordsmanship!
This is a bit similar to Yuan Hao's real person back then, but Lu Yingjie's cultivation in swordsmanship is not the same as Yuan Hao's real person back then!
Li Hui naturally didn't know about this, but he could also see that Lu Yingjie didn't do his best just now, so he was still not in a hurry to go on stage!
Next, several monks came to the stage to challenge Lu Yingjie, but they were defeated one after another, and no one could even survive three rounds!
For a while, no one dared to go up to challenge Lu Yingjie in the ring! Lu Yingjie stood on the stage, but he was not arrogant or impatient, and his expression was as usual.
A quarter of an hour has passed, and there is still no one on stage to challenge, the referee's monk has begun the countdown, if no one has come to the stage to challenge within half an hour, Lu Yingjie will succeed in defending!
"It seems that it's time for me to make a move!" Li Hui watched several Lu Yingjie games in a row, and also had a rough estimate of Lu Yingjie's strength.
If he doesn't use the spiritual power in his body, and the Qingying Sword, he will definitely be defeated!
"Finally found an opponent worthy of your unsheath!" Li Hui shook the Qingying Sword in his hand and said in his heart.
Then Li Hui's body rose from the ground and landed lightly in the ring.
"Under Li Hui, please also ask Lu Daoyou to teach!" Li Hui said lightly with his fists clenched.
Lu Yingjie's eyes lit up, this Li Hui ...... In the previous Li Hui competition, he had also heard that the elusive body method was indeed very difficult. Moreover, the sword in his hand has not yet been unsheathed!
"Li Daoyou's name, I have heard of it a long time ago, and it is an honor to be able to have a discussion with Li Daoyou!" Lu Yingjie also said with his fists clenched. There was excitement in his eyes that could not be concealed.
Li Hui was stunned, he was in the Xicheng Division, this Lu Yingjie is a member of the Lu family in the east of the city, and he should be in the Dongcheng Division. The other party even knows himself, it seems that his reputation is still spreading quite quickly! However, this Lu Yingjie has analyzed the opponents he may encounter in advance, and it should not be underestimated.
Unconsciously, Li Hui and Lu Yingjie actually felt a little sorry for each other!
"Boom!"
Li Hui has drawn the Qingying Sword in his hand! This is not only because of Lu Yingjie's strength, but also because of his respect for his opponent!
"Good sword!" Lu Yingjie exclaimed, obviously understanding what Li Hui meant, and patted the storage bag, a white light flew out, turning into a three-foot long sword, Lu Yingjie grabbed the hilt of the sword, and the tip of the sword pointed obliquely at the ground.
Li Hui's heart moved, could it be that this Lu Yingjie is also a master of swordsmanship?
"Phew!"
Lu Yingjie made the first move, and the sword light flew from the sky, flowing with an incomparable sword intent. In an instant, Lu Yingjie and his sword had arrived in front of Li Hui.
"Whoa!"
The sword momentum changed again, the tip of the sword trembled slightly, the sword light turned into three, and the three turned into nine, like lotus flowers blooming, and like a drizzle falling from the sky!
"Good swordsmanship!" Li Hui was not only excited in his heart at this time, but also a kind of pleasure in meeting opponents in chess and confidants in wine! I didn't expect this Lu Yingjie to have such a high attainment in swordsmanship.
The Qing Ying Sword shook, and Li Hui also raised his sword to meet him.
"Phew!"
Li Hui's sword was like a gust of wind in the pine forest, brisk and fluttering, like a wind blowing through a wheat field, surging layers of wheat waves!
"Ding, ding, ding!"
The swords of the two were quickly intertwined, like a spring breeze into a drizzle, and the swords of the two kept colliding, and even the sound of the two swords intersecting seemed to be in a certain rhythm.
The people watching below were stunned, these two people didn't look like they were fighting at this time, but like they were dancing with swords together, and they only felt that the two of them cooperated seamlessly and complemented each other. But the swords of the two pointed at each other's vital points, but they were always defused by each other.
Lu Yingjie's nickname "Swift Rain Sword" is precisely because of this set of "Swift Rain Sword Technique", and the swordsmanship used by Li Hui at the moment is also "Swift Wind Phantom Sword".
"Whoa, whoa!"
Suddenly, Lu Yingjie's swordsmanship accelerated, no longer rustling like spring rain, but like a torrential rain in summer, the raindrops fell heavily.
"Boom!boom!"
Li Hui's swordsmanship also accelerated suddenly, just like a storm suddenly rising, flying sand and rocks.
The swordsmanship of the two of them was like a raging storm, and the people outside could no longer see the figures of the two people clearly, only seeing the sword light in the sky, and the sound of the two swords intersecting constantly.
Suddenly, like the wind and rain stopped, Li Hui and Lu Yingjie's figures separated, and the two of them each held a long sword in their hands, looking at each other from a distance.
"I lost!" Lu Yingjie had a wry smile on his lips. "However, being able to fight against Brother Li is really a happy thing in life. After saying the last sentence, the frustration on his face had disappeared, and it turned into a kind of relief and joy of meeting opponents in chess and confidants in wine.
"It's just a fluke to win Brother Lu's move, not to mention that Brother Lu hasn't cast a spell yet, and the victory or defeat hasn't been decided yet!" Li Hui also had a great impression of this Lu Yingjie, and he felt like a confidant.
"If you lose, you lose, those three-legged cats will not be ugly in front of Brother Li!" Lu Yingjie smiled casually: "In the future, you and I will still be in the same family, but I am afraid that I will call 'Senior Brother Li' when I see you." ”
Lu Yingjie lost this game, and it was hopeless to enter the inner gate of Bixiao Gate, but he could still become an outer disciple. The status of the outer disciples and the inner disciples is very different, and when the two meet in the future, I am afraid that they will really call Senior Brother Li.
Li Hui was also a little embarrassed in his heart, if Lu Yingjie hadn't met him, there would be no problem in entering the top ten. However, there is no regret in his heart, appreciation is appreciation, Lu Yingjie met Li Hui, and he can only say that he is unlucky.
At the moment, he hugged his fists and said: "In the future, I hope to go around more with Brother Lu!"
"Of course, I will ask Brother Li for more advice in the future!" Lu Yingjie turned around and jumped out of the ring after speaking.
The audience was at a loss at this time. These two people are obviously inseparable from each other, why did they suddenly separate, and the victory and defeat have already been divided? Li Hui and Lu Yingjie's swordsmanship is so fast that there are very few people below who can see it clearly.
However, Li Hui's "luck won a trick" is, of course, also a self-humble statement. From beginning to end, Li Hui did not use the spiritual power in his body, and only used the strength of his body and swordsmanship to compete with Lu Yingjie. Moreover, Li Hui's swordsmanship is too much higher than Lu Yingjie's, but it is rare to meet a master with a sword, and Li Hui also suppresses his swordsmanship. According to the characteristics of Lu Yingjie's swordsmanship, he chose a set of "Wind Phantom Sword" among the many basic swordsmanship left by Yuan Hao Zhenren to oppose it.
Li Hui revealed his true swordsmanship cultivation, and this Lu Yingjie couldn't do three moves!
Although the people in the audience didn't understand the details of this competition very clearly, one thing was very clear, that is, neither Lu Yingjie nor Li Hui could fight.
Just kidding! I can't even see the movements of others when they are moving, how can I fight with others? Do you rely on spiritual weapons? Lu Yingjie, whether it is the flying sword in his hand or the sword technique, is first-class. Do you rely on spells? Lu Yingjie's magic is also beautiful enough. But with Lu Yingjie's strength, he was still defeated. So why did you go up to challenge Li Hui?
For a while, Li Hui's ring became unpopular.
There are also nine rings! You can't be so strong in every ring! Many monks who want to challenge have gone to other rings with this idea!
At this time, Li Hui's Qingying Sword had already been unsheathed, and he stood in the ring with a calm expression.
A quarter of an hour has passed! No one came up to the stage to challenge!
Another quarter of an hour has passed, and there is still no one on stage to challenge!
Half an hour passed, and the referee stood up and announced: "Li Hui, the defense is successful!
