Tao Ran didn't answer, and he didn't even pay attention to what was being said on the other side. After he walked on the high platform, he looked at the sword in his hand silently, feeling both familiar and unfamiliar.

Familiarity is due to the fact that he learned swords at the age of ten, and in the following twelve years, he gradually pushed his swordsmanship to the realm of 'extreme Tibetan intentions', which was also the capital of his early years in the realm of the original firmament.

But since he was twenty-two years old and turned to swordsmanship, how long has it been since he held a sword in his hand?

Tao Ran felt that his heart was boiling and surging, and suddenly he cut it coldly. He thought to himself, Tao Ran, what are you anxious about? All along, the peaceful and diluted, and cheerful state of mind is not what you are usually most proud of?

Although his current body is not his own, he has a good foundation, and he has innate spiritual bones, and his cultivation talent is far from being comparable to his original physical body. As long as you can break the obsession of the original owner before death, it is not difficult to achieve the integration of water and milk, and the body and soul are one. even went a step further, condensing the 'acquired dao fetus' that he had been thinking about before but couldn't get.

And although this world is unfamiliar to him, the prosperity of the Yuan Spirit is far better than his 'hometown' Primordial Dome Realm. With the foundation of his Taoism and the accumulation of his knowledge, as long as he has enough resources, then it will only take fifteen years, or even ten years, to push this physical body to the Mahayana realm and restore his original spirit.

As for the Primordial Dome World, he had already severely damaged the demons before leaving, and it was expected that these evil spirits would choose to lie dormant for a period of time before causing trouble to the world again; and although the position of the inner ghost was critical, there were three masters and five swords cultivated by him in the sect, which was enough to deter his people; as for the contemporary emperor of the Langya Heavenly Dynasty, although this person was ambitious, his minions and arms had been cut off by him, and it would be difficult for him to cause trouble for a while; Heavenly Dao Sect', before they went north, they had to bypass the Xuanyuan Holy Mansion and the Lingnan Sword Sect, the two first-class major sects.

If you calculate carefully, it will take at least 20 years for these troubles to erupt one by one after 20 years, so you still have time, don't you?

He Tao Ran should also have a little more confidence in the achievements of his thirty years at the helm of Shenxiao Gate, and in the many rising stars in the door.

The so-called heroes have suffered many hardships since ancient times, and they can see their true colors in the wind and rain. In the past thirty years, Shenxiao Sect has always been under his wings, so the many disciples of the sect seem to be unremarkable, and at a glance, they are all ordinary people.

But after he leaves, there may not be no younger heroes who have emerged and bloomed with their own brilliance.

With the accumulation of Shenxiaomen, what do you have to worry about?

When Tao Ran thought of this, his mind had gradually calmed down, but at this moment, his chest suddenly exploded. The violent momentum made him kick back seven steps, and he almost stood unsteadily,

Tao Ran suddenly came back to his senses, looked in front of him, and found that the cold weapon mixed martial arts battle on the stage had actually begun. The referee next to him also raised the red flag in his hand: "Hit hard! Five points!"

On the other side of him, the guy named Ikabod Wood was triumphantly waving the heavy sword in his hand: "BOY, what are you doing in a daze? Are you so stupid that you can't even surrender? Don't blame me, Ikarbold has already given you a chance." ”

Tao Ran couldn't help frowning, and clenched the sword in his hand tightly. I began to collect my mind and turned my attention to the present. Just as he was trying to carry his qi, blood, and divine thoughts, familiarize himself with this body and the long sword in his hand, and regain the feeling of using the sword decades ago, the referee slammed the black flag in his right hand down.

In the next moment, there was another muffled sound of 'bang'. The dull power caused him to spontaneously open up layers of magic arrays outside of the shoulder armor. The power that could come from the side of his shoulder still made Tao Ran grin for a while, and on this ring, he staggered back again.

This made Tao Ran's eyes faintly reveal anger.

Ever since his swordsmanship had also climbed to the realm of extreme hidden intent, even if it was as strong as the Nine Heavens Desire Demon Dugu Heavenly Will, he never dared to be so presumptuous in front of him.

"Side hit, three points!"

As the referee's announcement sounded, Ikabode on the opposite side was very dissatisfied: "Hey, can you stand still and don't move? Obviously there are two more to finish? Do you have to get more beatings?"

Tao Ran didn't laugh angrily, and he had suppressed a trace of impetuousness in his heart that he shouldn't have. Then he stood in amazement, drew a wonderful semicircle of the sword in his hand, and finally stopped three feet in front of his knees, and pointed diagonally forward.

His divine consciousness also entered a wonderful state with the adjustment of his breathing, and his heart was like stopping water, and his mind was like a mirror.

At this time, in the audience, Willem Jacques couldn't bear to cover his eyes with his hands, and he couldn't bear to continue looking.

Until a melodious and tactful, cold female voice sounded in his ears: "How's the situation?

"Miss, you have also seen that Ah Mo has lost 8 points, and he doesn't even have room to fight back. ”

William looked back and found their club's president, Louise Lindon, standing behind him. And his voice contained helplessness: "He seems to be stupid by Ikabod, and he can't move." Hell, he was in the club with me before, and he was still playing well. ”

The girl Louise was looking at the stage, but there was a hint of surprise in her beautiful pupils.

She felt that the guy was in a very strange state, and the whole person seemed to be completely integrated into this environment, and had become an inseparable part of the entire background, and even an inseparable part of this heaven and earth, just like the martial arts realm of 'the unity of heaven and man' described by the Orientals

But she soon noticed the scoreboard next to her, and Louise shook her head, thinking to herself that she must be stunned. Because this time the blow was too heavy, and I wanted a miracle to happen too much, so I had such an illusion.

"So William, do you have a chance of winning the game in fifteen minutes?"

"There is still one point, the opponent's strength should be on par with mine, and the odds of winning are seven and three of him. But it's useless, my eldest lady. ”

William spread his hands: "I can only enter the third round at most, and then it will not be possible." But so far, only four of us have made it to the second round. The current situation is that unless two people can make it to the quarterfinals, you can get enough points, but this can only be done by you, Miss Louise. ”

"Sure enough—"

Louise's expression darkened slightly, and just as she lost her mind, she suddenly saw a fire explode on the stage, and at the same time, a huge earthquake sounded, like a thunderbolt that shook the audience, making everyone in this gymnasium look sideways.

In their eyes, Ikabold Wood's body seemed to have been hit by a truck, and the whole person flew out of the ring twenty meters, and then slammed into the ground, causing the surrounding audience to scream.

"What's going on?"

"Is that Ikabod?"

"It looks like the armor exploded just now?"

"Does anyone know what's going on?"

"I didn't understand, anyway, the magic array of the armor suddenly opened in full force, and then it exploded, and Ikabod's whole person flew out. ”

The referees on the stage were also shocked, and rushed to Ikabod's side to see what was going on. Others hurried to the monitoring room to watch the previous footage.

"I was in a coma, but fortunately, the vital signs were still there, the neck bone was slightly fractured, and the whole body was contusion. ”

"The neck part of the armor is also unknown for the sake of being completely destroyed, and it needs to be surveyed by professionals. ”

"Can you wake him up?

"It's useless, his current situation, even if he wakes up, he can't continue to fight, and the Holy Healer can't heal a concussion above a moderate degree. ”

"Is the footage coming out? What the hell is going on?"

"I still can't figure it out, I only see the armor's protective array open, and then it suddenly explodes, presumably because of the armor. ”

The chaos lasted for five minutes. Five minutes later, the referee presiding over the P12 station walked back to the stage with a sluggish face and raised the red flag on his left hand.

"Given that Icabord Wood is unconscious, Andre Lee Wildenstein wins to advance to the second round!"

Tao Ran, who was next to him, immediately raised his eyebrows dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything in the end, and walked off the stage without saying a word.

And William Jacques and Louise Lindon below, this one was dumbfounded, and then looked at each other for a while.

"Is that okay? This luck—"

William said speechlessly: "Okay, Miss, your luck is also very good. Amo This can be regarded as retaining some hope for us, and now in addition to you, as long as there is one person in our school who enters the top 16, we can get enough points. ”

Louise smiled feebly, and then left the P12 ring with a heavy heart, and walked in the other direction.

William looked sideways, a hint of sympathy in his eyes. He knew what the eldest lady of Lyndon College was worried about, and this unexpected victory did leave some hope for Lyndon College.

But now the situation is still not optimistic, except for Elena and John Richardson, who are temporarily transferred, no one else in the Cold Weapons Club can be sure enough to enter the top 32.

Considering the withdrawal of those two people, it is clear that someone is planning against Louise Linden, and the situation is even less optimistic.

At this time, Tao Ran had already walked back to his side, and William immediately laughed and wrapped his shoulders: "Hey! The guy who took the shit luck was really promoted by you, I think I should call you Lucky Andre now? No, it's Lucky Amo!"

Tao Ran glanced at him lightly: "You misunderstood, it's not any luck." ”

William laughed and thumped him in the chest, "Could it be that you can still beat him with a sword?" In a few minutes it will be my turn. When I win this one, we'll go back together. ”

After that, he ignored Tao Ran, and walked alone to another ring marked No. 15, full of confidence between his eyebrows, as if he had won the battle.
