The martial arts competition in the Martial Palace is conducted by drawing lots, which also contains some elements of luck.
Some of the strengths are not significantly different. On the martial arts stage, there are swords and swords, guns and sticks competing for power. You come and go, and everyone cheers.
Some of the players with vastly different abilities are determined by a single move. A young man named Hu Gang, holding a sword but not unsheathed, quickly knocked his opponent off the martial arts arena with just one palm.
Those who have the courage to participate in martial arts competitions are at least seven level cultivators with excellent talent. They practice third grade martial arts and their strength is much stronger than ordinary martial arts students.
Under the Biwu stage, there was a lot of noise, and many students from the martial arts hall cheered and cheered to cheer on the players they liked to support.
The first round of knockout matches proceeded quickly, and soon it was Luo Xiu's turn to play.
"The third martial arts platform, 98!"
Pop!
A young man suddenly stepped on the ground, his body spinning in mid air, and he floated lightly onto the martial arts arena.
There was a lot of cheers from the audience, and even discerning people could tell that this person was practicing a third level body technique and had good lightness skills.
Compared to the opponent's display of body techniques and lightness skills, Luo Xiu was much more calm, lightly leaping and landing on the martial arts stage.
"Are you the Luo Xiu who just got promoted to the intermediate class a while ago and scrapped Zhang Hai?" The young man across from him had a thin figure. When he saw that his opponent was Luo Xiu, his eyes showed a hint of fear.
Luo Xiu nodded lightly and didn't say much.
But Luo Xiu's plain expression, in his eyes, was a kind of contempt for himself, which made the young man across from him snort coldly and laugh coldly in his heart.
"This Luo Xiu thought he had defeated Zhang Hai and didn't take me seriously. He was also refining his body seven times, so I don't believe he will definitely lose to you!"
He was very confident in his body movements and rushed towards Luo Xiu. At the same time, he raised his hand and threw a cold light towards Luo Xiu.
The cold light was clearly a flying knife of inches, indicating that the young man was following the path of a hidden weapon.
Luo Xiu didn't take it seriously, his footsteps lightly shifted horizontally, and the flying knife flew tightly against his chest, only a tiny millimeter away!
This scene may seem insignificant to others, but in the eyes of the elders and the master of the martial arts hall in the attic, it was completely different.
"Da Cheng's body technique is as subtle as a millimeter?" Zhuang Nantian's face showed surprise.
The so-called "entering the micro millimeter" is a technique of body lightness that aims to avoid attacks in the most effective way. However, this technique requires high standards, and even a slight mistake can lead to being hit by the opponent's attack.
On the martial arts competition stage, just as Luo Xiu avoided the flying sword, his footsteps suddenly stepped out and his figure appeared in front of the young man like the wind.
"Bang!"
Accompanied by a dull sound, a figure fell from the martial arts arena.
"Luo Xiusheng!"
The referee in charge of the third martial arts competition announced loudly.
"Bastard, this Luo Xiu is really unlucky. My flying knife almost hit him!"
The young man who was knocked off the martial arts stage by Luo Xiu's palm had a gloomy face and his eyes were filled with unwillingness.
"Zhang Hai, who has refined his body eight times, has been defeated. It's not a shame to lose to him," said his companion comforting him.
Luo Xiu stepped down from the martial arts competition platform, and his opponent, who was refining his body seven times, was too weak to even have the qualification to wield a sword.
More than a hundred rounds of martial arts competitions may seem like a lot, but in reality, they are happening very quickly. After all, the participating students are all body refining martial artists, and the winner can be determined between at most a dozen moves.
At the beginning of the second round, those who advanced were drawn again, and Luo Xiu drew thirteen and quickly returned to the field.
Luo Xiu's second opponent is still a martial artist who cultivates seven levels of body.
At the beginning of the competition, Luo Xiu was too lazy to waste time. With a flash of his figure, he bullied his body and stepped forward. Before his opponent could react, he slapped him off the competition stage.
Like in the first game, Luo Xiu did not display any martial arts skills, but only defeated the enemy with one move due to his exquisite body movements.
"This kid is too arrogant. Do you really think that if you have a strong body technique, you will be invincible?"
"I estimate that this guy is at best good at practicing his body techniques, but his martial arts and internal skills are definitely not very good. It's okay to encounter someone weaker than him, but once he encounters an expert, no matter how good his body techniques are, they won't be useful."
Many other martial arts students who participated in the competition noticed Luo Xiu's performance and classified him as a person with good body skills but average strength.
After the second round ended, only over seventy people were left to advance again.
Da Bi entered the third round, and this time Luo Xiu came on stage earlier. His opponent was a young man wearing a blue military uniform, carrying a black iron gun on his back, with a haughty face.
"Hehe, this Luo Xiu is really unlucky to have met Lin Jie!"
Under the Biwu stage, beside Liu Yuxin, Xu Fei, who played the role of a flower protector all day long, gloated and said.
Liu Yuxin frowned slightly and looked at Xu Fei beside her with a hint of disgust in her eyes. "At least Luo Xiu dares to participate in the martial arts competition and has already won two matches. Even if he loses to Lin Jie, it's not a shame," she said
"He's just lucky, the two he encountered before were relatively weak," Xu Fei said with an unpleasant expression. He could naturally hear that Liu Yuxin was mocking him for not even daring to participate in the martial arts competition.
However, thinking that this woman would eventually be his own, he suppressed himself and secretly said, "Wait for you, Liu Yuxin, to marry into my Xu family, and see how I will play with you then!"!
"Lin Jie?"
On the attic observation table, Zhuang Nantian frowned slightly. He knew that Luo Xiu had reached the eighth level of body cultivation two months ago, and because he had mastered Pure Yang Gong, it could be comparable to the ninth level of body cultivation.
But this Lin Jie is not ordinary, he is the pinnacle of the ninth level of body refining, ranking fifth on the ranking list!
As the fourth genius in eight hundred years to practice Pure Yang Gong, Zhuang Nantian still has great confidence in Luo Xiu. He had planned to accept him as a disciple after this martial arts competition, but if Luo Xiu cannot achieve a good ranking in the competition, he will let others gossip if he accepts him.
"Zhuang Changlao, please be calm. Luo Xiu, this little guy, is not as simple as it seems. It's simple." The head of the martial arts hall smiled slightly and picked up a tea cup to smile.
Behind the Lord of the Martial Palace and the elders, all the teaching teachers in the Martial Palace were standing, but only one person sat with the elders. It was the beautiful teacher, Lu Mengyao, who was known as the Double Heaven of Ice and Fire.
"I also agree with the Lord's words, Luo Xiu should be able to win," said Lu Mengyao.
Zhuang Nantian's face showed surprise, and he immediately smiled slightly with a curious expression in his eyes. He looked at Luo Xiu on the martial arts competition platform and whispered, "Is there a secret in this kid that I can't see?"
On the martial arts competition platform, Luo Xiu stood opposite Lin Jie.
"You're not my opponent. If you don't want to get hurt, go down on your own," Lin Jie stood proudly in the field, giving Luo Xiu a faint glance with a hint of disdain.
Luo Xiu shook his head in silence. Perhaps it was because he used to come from a commoner background and was often bullied by the children of aristocratic families. What he disliked the most were those who were arrogant, arrogant, and looked down on others.
Seeing Luo Xiu shake his head, Lin Jie frowned and his eyes flickered sharply. "It seems like you won't shed tears until you see the coffin!"
As he spoke, his figure emerged step by step, with a faint light shining all over his body. Before his internal energy reached its peak, a light appeared, which could only be achieved by martial artists who had reached the pinnacle of refining their bodies.
"For you trash, there's no need to shoot. Take my move, Mountain Fist!"
Lin Jie rushed closer to Luo Xiu and punched him in the chest, his inner energy shining brightly, and his fist wind howling and piercing.
Faced with this fierce punch, Luo Xiu remained calm and composed, taking a gentle step back. Lin Jie's fist was only half an inch away from his chest.
Lin Jie's expression was taken aback, but the momentum of this punch was just exhausted, and Luo Xiu dodged it perfectly.
Luck? Or is this kid planning that my punch will exhaust my strength here and I won't touch him?
Lin Jie was able to rank seventh on the ranking list, so he was not a fool. He suddenly understood that Luo Xiu might not be as simple as he thought.
"Double Shadow Fist!"
Lin Jie immediately changed his moves, his fists fluttering like rain, with heavy shadows that dazzled the eyes.
Many of these martial arts techniques are empty moves, which can easily lead to defeat if not careful.
Luo Xiu's body cultivation technique unfolded, moving freely amidst the shadows of his fist in the sky. No matter how fierce Lin Jie's attack was, he remained calm and composed, calmly responding.
"Da Cheng's body technique, with a subtle and meticulous approach, is practiced to this level with second grade steps. Not bad, not bad..."
On the observation table in the attic, the master of the martial arts hall stroked his beard and nodded with a smile. At the age of fourteen, he had practiced Pure Yang Gong and was able to comprehend subtle body techniques. This talent is rare.
"But what Lin Jie is best at is the Moonlight Shooting Technique. I wonder how well Luo Xiu has practiced his Thunderbolt Sword Technique?"
The eyes of the Lord of the Martial Palace were sharp, and he had already seen that Luo Xiu had hidden his cultivation level. Although it seemed like he was refining his body eight times, in fact, his internal qi had already been cultivated to the level of refining his body nine times.
In the eyes of most people, Lin Jie in the field was shining brightly and his attack was fierce, completely overwhelming Luo Xiu's attack and occupying the absolute upper hand.
The shouting and cheering were incessant, but just then, a wave of internal energy spread from the competition platform, and a brilliant light burst forth.
In the field, Luo Xiu's breath climbed step by step, and his whole body shimmered with the light of internal energy, reaching a height of nine levels for refining his body!
"What!?"
"Nine levels of body refining? How could this be possible?"
In an instant, there was a silence below, and everyone's eyes were incredulously fixed on the young man in black in the audience.
As is well known, more than two months ago, Luo Xiu was still practicing eight levels of body cultivation. How could he possibly achieve nine levels of body cultivation in such a short period of time?
What's even more exaggerated is that as early as five months ago, Luo Xiu was still practicing body twice!
Five months! Having crossed seven realms?
This is definitely breaking the cultivation record of the Qingyun City Martial Palace for over 800 years!
In the audience, four elders, including Zhuang Nantian, stood up and stared blankly at the young man in black in the audience.
This Luo Xiu is a monster, how could he cultivate so quickly?
Among everyone, only the Lord of the Martial Palace and Lu Mengyao appeared relatively calm. For ordinary people, this cultivation speed is indeed a miracle, but compared to Qingyun City, if we look at the entire Yunlong County and even the Xiaoyao Sect, although not many, there are still some such cultivation speeds.
"Shit!"
Suddenly, a sharp piercing sound came from the martial arts arena, and Lin Jie, who had been unable to attack for a long time, used his spear technique. The black iron gun was as fast as the wind, and the moon sweeping spear technique drew a curved path and attacked Luo Xiu.
Just as everyone thought that Luo Xiu's long sword behind him should also be unsheathed, he still didn't make any movement. With a gentle push of his palm, he shook the long spear open, and his body movements followed closely, like a fierce tiger pouncing, punching Lin Jie in the chest.
"Bang!"
The strong force erupted, and Lin Jie's body was thrown up, like a broken kite flying backwards and falling off the stage.
"Wow..."
Seeing that Luo Xiu had defeated Lin Jie, who was skilled in marksmanship, solely through his body and fist techniques, there was an uproar in the audience. Almost everyone was stunned, unable to believe that in less than half a year, the once unknown Luo Xiu had become so powerful.
The referee on the martial arts stage was also shocked by Luo Xiu's displayed strength, and suddenly realized it. He quickly announced Luo Xiu's victory.
Undoubtedly, after this martial arts competition, the name of Luo Xiu will truly become a legend in the Qingyun City Martial Palace!
Under the martial arts stage, a warm round of applause and cheers rang out. If anyone had thought that Luo Xiu was just lucky and had good body skills before, then after the battle with Lin Jie, Luo Xiu proved to everyone that he had strong strength, not luck!
Especially for those students who come from ordinary backgrounds like Luo Xiu, they are extremely excited and unable to control themselves. They all come from poor backgrounds. Since Luo Xiu can rise up, why can't I?
On the martial arts competition platform, Luo Xiu's upright posture, like a brand, is engraved in the hearts of many people. Many of them have secretly made up their minds to work hard and practice diligently in the future, perhaps they can also achieve the same level as Luo Xiu.
