Chereads / The Road to Emperor Shenwu / Chapter 25 - Quarterfinals

Chapter 25 - Quarterfinals

Both Lin Ningshan and the Lord of the Nine Princesses broke through to the extreme level of the Huangji Realm in the past three months, so it can be said that their strengths are comparable.

The Lord of the Ninth Princess walked into the school field first, holding a cyan battle sword at the level of a real weapon in his hand, with a slim figure and elegant temperament, standing in the center of the school field, as beautiful as a painting.

Afterwards, Lin Ningshan also walked into the school grounds.

The corner of the Lord Nine's lips curled into a smile, "Ningshan, it is said that you have reached the realm of 'Walk with the Sword', but this princess wants to learn how strong 'Walk with the Sword' is?"

"Zheng!"

With a shake of her arm, the scabbard flew out immediately.

"Clear water like waves!"

The Lord of the Ninth Princess knew that Lin Ningshan was a formidable opponent, so as soon as he made a move, he displayed a mid-level swordsmanship.

As soon as the sword move was made, seven sword shadows immediately formed. The seven sword shadows turned into forty-nine.

Forty-nine sword shadows joined together to form a turquoise water curtain, making a sound like flowing water, and pressed towards Lin Ningshan.

Lin Ningshan stood firmly on the spot, motionless, her eyes fixed on the sword-holding hand of Lord Nine.

Just when the water curtain was pressing in front of Lin Ningshan, she suddenly stabbed a sword and hit the center of the water curtain. All the sword moves of the Ninth Princess immediately shattered.

"Wow!"

The Lord Nine quickly changed his moves, and his swordsmanship became sharper and sharper.

Lin Ningshan stood still, not moving.

As long as a sword is stabbed, all the offensives of the nine princesses can be broken.

Standing outside the school grounds, Zhang Ruochen shook his head lightly, and thought to himself: "Lin Ningshan's comprehension of the sword intent has reached the state of 'sword follow the heart', but the comprehension of the sword intent by the nine princesses is still at the level of 'see The degree of recruiting moves. Although the martial arts realm of the two is the same, but in a real battle, the nine princesses are definitely not Lin Ningshan's opponent. Not surprisingly, within ten moves, the nine princesses will lose!"

At this moment, the battle situation in the school field really changed drastically.

Lin Ningshan took the initiative to attack, took a step forward, swung her arms, and formed a huge sword flower in the air.

The Lord of the Ninth Princess retreated immediately, and Lin Ning pressed forward step by step.

"Wow!"

When the sword stopped, the sharp point of the sword was pointing at the heart of Princess Jiu.

"Princess, you have lost!" Lin Ningshan said.

The Ninth Princess put away the Bishui Sword and walked down from the school grounds, feeling very uncomfortable, stood beside Zhang Ruochen, and said, "Ninth Brother, my cultivation is obviously not weaker than hers, but why did I lose so quickly?"

"Sword Intent! Your attainments in Sword Intent are far behind her! When you also cultivate to the realm of 'Sword Follow Your Heart', you will naturally understand!" Zhang Ruochen said.

Immediately afterwards, the second contest began!

The two standing in the school grounds were Gu Li from the Gu family, and Situ Linhai, the number one master of the younger generation of the Situ family.

The strength gap between the two sides was very obvious. Situ Linhai only used three moves to punch Gu Li out of the school field.

"Fifth scene, Ninth Prince Zhang Ruochen, Bai Family Bai Wanli."

Zhang Ruochen and Bai Wanli walked into the school grounds at the same time.

In the first two rounds of assessment, Zhang Ruochen stole the limelight and caused quite a shock to everyone.

Now, those warriors who came to participate in the year-end assessment all want to know how strong is his true strength?

Outside the school grounds, Lin Ningshan, the Ninth Princess, the Fifth Prince, and the Sixth Prince all stared at Zhang Ruochen. They also want to know, how can a low-level warrior win against a middle-level warrior?

Bai Wanli ranked eighth in the Wangshan hunting assessment, his cultivation reached the top of the Huangji Realm, and he was even able to kill a wild bull with his bare hands. He was definitely not a weak person.

"Your Highness Ninth Prince, you said earlier that you are the best at using swords, but I am not good at using swords. To be fair, how about we have a fist fight?" Bai Wanli said.

"Then let's fight!" Zhang Ruochen said indifferently.

Outside the school grounds, many people frowned slightly, because they knew that boxing is what the Bai family is best at.

The Ninth Prince's cultivation base was already weaker than Bai Wanli's by a level, and now he gave up his good swordsmanship, and he would definitely suffer even more.

"kill!"

Bai Wanli mobilized all the zhenqi in his body, let out a loud roar, and unleashed the human-level mid-level martial skill "Slaying Power Fist".

"Boom!"

He stepped on the ground, shattered a stone slab, rushed out, and punched Zhang Ruochen in the chest.

With the help of the power of human-level middle-grade martial arts, Bai Wanli burst out with nine ox strength, and a faint halo emitted from his fist.

Zhang Ruochen stood on the spot, his legs sank slightly, the muscles of his legs, the spine of his back, the muscles of his arms, and the strength of every part of his body were mobilized at the same time.

"Boom!"

He suddenly struck out with his palm, colliding with Bai Wanli's "Slaying Power Fist".

"Crack!"

There was a sound of broken bones!

"You lost!" Zhang Ruochen said calmly as he stood up again.

Bai Wanli supported his arm, feeling that his entire arm had lost strength. He stepped back more than ten steps, and stared at Zhang Ruochen with some horror, "You... how can your strength be so strong?"

Not to mention that Bai Wanli couldn't figure it out, those young warriors standing outside the school field couldn't understand it at all either.

You know, the explosive power of Bai Wanli's punch just now is as strong as nine bulls. But the Ninth Prince didn't use any martial arts, and actually shattered Bai Wanli's arm bones with one palm.

For a martial artist in the extreme realm, this is simply impossible!

Only those old martial artists with strong martial arts cultivation bases saw some clues.

"Young Master Bai's arm was not broken by the shock, but twisted." Said the general wearing the silver scale armor.

"Twisted? How is it possible? I clearly saw that the Ninth Prince just slapped him. How could it be possible to break Young Master Bai's arm?" a young warrior asked.

The general wearing the silver-scale armor said: "His Royal Highness Ninth Prince's control of power is extremely exquisite, and the power of every inch of muscle and bone in the body is exploded. Moreover, when the palm is struck, the power of the palm is originally Just with a twist."

"Just for a moment, the torsion force disappeared, so you naturally couldn't see it. Not to mention you, even with my current state, I can't control the power to such an exquisite level."

One must know that the person who said this was Ge Qian, the chief bodyguard of Yunwu County King, so naturally no one doubted the authenticity of his words.

"The Ninth Prince is so powerful! My God, he has only been practicing for three months! Even the Seventh Prince doesn't have such a heaven-defying talent, does he?"

"After the year-end assessment this time, the name of the Ninth Prince will definitely resound throughout the royal city, and he will become an influential figure in the younger generation."

In the exclamation of everyone, Zhang Ruochen walked out of the school grounds.

After three more fights, the top eight were finally determined.

The top eight are: Fifth Prince, Situ Linjiang, Xue Kai, Zhang Ruochen, Lin Ningshan, Luo Cheng, Lin Tianwu, Sixth Prince

Next, is to compete for the top four.

In other words, as long as you win the next battle, you will be able to enter the top five and get the opportunity to enter the Barbarian God Pool to practice.

"In the first scene, the Ninth Prince, Zhang Ruochen, and the Lin family, Lin Ningshan."

Hearing his opponent's name, Zhang Ruochen raised his head slightly, and said to himself, "What a coincidence!"

He glanced in Lin Ningshan's direction.

At this moment, Lin Ningshan also looked over and fixed on Zhang Ruochen.

The Ninth Princess stood beside Zhang Ruochen, with a smile on his lips, and said, "Ninth Brother, Elder Sister knows that you like Ningshan, but Nineshan doesn't like you at all. Don't be sympathetic, you must use your Do your best, sister is still waiting for you to avenge me!"

With a calm face, Zhang Ruochen walked into the school grounds.

"Cousin, I didn't expect you to open the mark of martial arts at the age of sixteen. You have already passed the optimal age for martial arts, and you can practice so fast. It's incredible!" Lin Ningshan said softly, the one There was a slight smile on his delicate face.

Her red lips were slightly pursed, and she stood opposite Zhang Ruochen in a beautiful manner, giving people a fresh and refined beauty.

After seeing the battle between Zhang Ruochen and Bai Wanli, Lin Ningshan naturally did not dare to underestimate Zhang Ruochen. She knew that the young man standing across from him was no longer the good-for-nothing he used to be, but a martial arts prodigy.

She didn't have the confidence to defeat Zhang Ruochen. She even felt that Zhang Ruochen was more terrifying than the fifth prince, Situ Linhai, and Xue Kai, which made her feel even more uneasy.

Of course, she didn't believe that Zhang Ruochen would really strike her with a sword, because she knew very well that Zhang Ruochen had always loved her deeply.

For her, Zhang Ruochen had waited for her all night outside the Lin Mansion without any complaints or regrets in the coldest winter.

When she went to wake Zhang Ruochen up the next morning, Zhang Ruochen was completely frozen. Since then, Zhang Ruochen's already weak constitution has become even worse, and he has been bedridden all year round.

In the past, she really looked down on Zhang Ruochen. Even if Zhang Ruochen waited for her all night in the cold winter, she only thought Zhang Ruochen was stupid, and she didn't think he was infatuated at all.

However, it is different now. The current Zhang Ruochen is a martial arts prodigy. If such a martial arts prodigy loves her deeply, she will naturally have an inexplicable vanity.

"Cousin, do we still need to fight? You should know that the top four are really important to me." Lin Ningshan said softly.

There was a bit of seductive tenderness in her crystal and beautiful eyes, and she stared pitifully at Zhang Ruochen who was standing opposite.
