The next competition was even more unexpected, because the students who drew lots against Ling Lingqi automatically admitted defeat, and Ling Lingqi didn't know that it was okay, it seems that these classmates knew that they were invincible, so as not to be embarrassed, so they automatically admitted defeat.

After several rounds of competition, the final eight finals were finally produced! The top eight were Ling Lingqi, Gao Yunxiang, and Shangguan Ming from Class A, Chen Jiasheng and Feng Qingyun from Class B, Gu Yuxuan from Class C, and Han Liming and Jiang Ziming from Class D. The most strange thing is that none of the last two classes made it to the quarterfinals. Of course, the strongest is still Class A, with a total of three people entering the quarterfinals.

Of course, the final competition is even more intense, because everyone wants to win the first place in the martial arts test. Because after winning the first place in the martial arts test, I will have the opportunity to participate in the Jiangnan Academy Sword Conference a year later!

At this time, the top eight disciples also stood in a row, only to see the dean Lu Zilong smiling and stroking his beard, standing on the stage with a long body, and said aloud to the disciples in the audience: "Today's martial arts test is very exciting, the martial arts test is the tradition of our Wenshan Academy. What is the purpose of our study? It is for the country and the people, and the same is true for sword training! Tomorrow there will be a final round, and the first person in the martial arts examination will represent our Wenshan Academy to participate in the Jiangnan Academy Sword Discussion Conference in a year's time! This is the end of today's competition, let's leave the competition!"

"On the Sword Conference?" Ling Lingqi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and asked Gao Yunxiang beside him with a look of surprise on his face.

"Why, Senior Brother Ling doesn't know about this?" Gao Yunxiang looked incredulous.

Ling Lingqi nodded and said, "Yes, I only heard that there will be competitions between academies, but this is the first time I have heard of the Jiangnan Academy Sword Conference, can Senior Brother Gao solve my doubts!"

"Of course there is no problem. This Jiangnan Academy Sword Conference is actually a grand event held every three years by our eighteen academies in Jiangnan. Basically, no matter what their status, only academy students under the age of 25 are allowed to participate. And in each academy, only one person will fight on behalf of the academy, and it seems that the person who will fight in our academy next year is none other than Senior Brother Ling. Gao Yunxiang looked at Ling Lingqi and said slowly.

At this time, Lu Zilong also walked over to take a look, and when he heard the conversation between the two, Lu Zilong smiled and said: "You all have to work hard! No matter who wins the first place in this year's academy martial arts examination, he will represent my Wenshan Academy to participate in next year's sword conference! You must know that my Wenshan Academy has been at the bottom of the sword conference for two consecutive terms, and the old man is not bothered to go, I hope there will be a good result next year!"

After speaking, Lu Zilong looked at Ling Lingqi with a hopeful eye, because he knew that whether Wenshan Academy could be reversed at the Jiangnan Academy Sword Conference next year would depend on Ling Lingqi, only Ling Lingqi had this ability, the disciples of the academy were too far behind him, and there was no suspense in the final result of tomorrow's competition, Lu Zilong had personally learned it.

Ling Lingqi nodded lightly and said, "Dean, the disciple will definitely do his best!"

Lu Zilong stroked his beard and smiled: "Okay, good, good! Go back and rest, it's up to you tomorrow!"

Ling Lingfa was also extremely excited to pull his son aside, only now did he know that his son was still a master of swordsmanship, and he could see it really in the competition, Ling Lingqi behaved like a dragon in the competition, quite a master's demeanor.

Ling Lingfa looked at Ling Lingqi with burning eyes, and said excitedly: "Xiao Qi, when did you practice swordsmanship? Why don't you say a word to your father, you will be nervous! I'm afraid that you will be injured in the competition!"

Ling Lingqi stretched out his voice and said, "Dad, didn't I say it when I was admitted to the hospital? Of course, the Tai Chi swordsmanship was also taught by an unknown old master. Compared to the scholar's swordsmanship, it is indeed much more sophisticated, you can rest assured!"

Ling Lingfa said with emotion: "Xiao Qi, it's your father who is useless! You can't pass the merit test, and you can't dance the sword in martial arts, and now I see you behaving like this, my father is very pleased! I hope that in the future, you will be able to gain fame and serve the country, so that you will live up to your father's expectations!"

Hearing this, Ling Lingqi's heart was extremely bitter, he didn't want to get any fame, after all, he also had an incomparably headache for the imperial examination, how could he pass the exam? Ling Lingqi came to this world, he still hoped that he could continue to cultivate the national arts, in his previous life, he was Huajin, in this life, he must break through Huajin, reach the realm of the legendary martial god Sun Lutang, or even higher.

Therefore, he has planned it a long time ago, and he will step into the rivers and lakes in a few years, only in actual combat, his realm can be improved, and now he is very clear about the level of martial arts in the academy, and the swordsmanship practiced by the scholars can only reach a primary level, and staying in the academy will do all kinds of harm and no benefit to the cultivation of national arts, so he must go out to explore the rivers and lakes!

But he didn't want to say it now, at least not to disappoint his father for now.

The next morning, the most exciting martial arts finals began! The top eight disciples still drew lots to decide their fate, and they fought against each other.

In the first round, Ling Lingqi met Gao Yunxiang in Class A. When the two walked to the arena, Gao Yunxiang was about to automatically admit defeat, but Ling Lingqi hurriedly glanced at him and signaled not to do so. Gao Yunxiang also understood Ling Lingqi's hard work, he didn't want to push himself to the courage to fight, the scholar's swordsmanship originally contained a heroic righteousness, if the practitioner didn't even have the courage to fight, then he was destined to no longer be able to make an inch of progress in swordsmanship, and even regressed.

Gao Yunxiang looked at Ling Lingqi gratefully, and then the two hugged their fists in salute and started a fight. Of course, Gao Yunxiang's swordsmanship is more than one or two chips worse than Ling Lingqi's, and now Ling Lingqi's use of Taiji swordsmanship is more proficient, using Taiji swordsmanship to fight against scholars' swordsmanship, that is, overcoming rigidity with softness, just giving full play to the essence of Taiji swordsmanship.

The two compared more than 30 moves, and Ling Lingqi used a sticky sword to get Gao Yunxiang's long sword out of his hand.

In the next competition, there was no suspense, Ling Lingqi still used Tai Chi swordsmanship, picking up the opponent's long sword one by one.

The students and professors all saw it clearly, Ling Lingqi was like a leisurely stroll in the competition, a long sword in his hand, it seemed to be extremely slow, but in fact it was continuous, walking like a swimming dragon, quiet like a mountain. This is simply demonstrating Tai Chi swordsmanship to everyone, not only swordsmanship professor Fang Datong, but also many students have gained a lot.

In the end, Ling Lingqi won the first place in the annual martial arts examination of Wenshan Academy without dispute! At the same time, he was also designated as the only disciple of Wenshan Academy to participate in next year's Jiangnan Academy Sword Conference! Lu Zilong had high hopes for him, and whether Wenshan Academy could win a good ranking in the Jiangnan Academy Sword Conference depended on Ling Lingqi!

Of course, Ling Lingqi is looking forward to this, he hopes that in the Sword Conference, he can meet the real swordsmanship masters of this era, through such actual combat, he can further bring out the essence of Tai Chi swordsmanship and improve his cultivation realm!
