Chereads / Emperor of Life and Death / Chapter 44 - Chapter 44 Ranked first

Chapter 44 - Chapter 44 Ranked first

After withstanding the first wave of mental impact, a more ferocious force of thought rushed over immediately.

Luo Xiu was inside the formation, shaking his body and gritting his teeth to persevere.

"Boom!"

It seemed like a sword had pierced into Luo Xiu's soul, and in almost an instant, Luo Xiu's will collapsed, his eyes darkened, and he fell into a coma.

"Buzz!"

The formation stopped working, and figures and fish leaped out one by one, taking out Luo Xiu and others who had fainted within the formation.

After half a pillar of incense, everyone gradually woke up from their coma, and many still had lingering palpitations and pale faces.

Luo Xiu's mental state is not optimistic either. At the moment when his will is shattered by the impact, the intense pain of tearing and shattering is something that those who have experienced it once will never be willing to experience it again.

Zhang Lvliang stepped forward to announce the scores of everyone in this assessment. In the Nine Realms, each level counts as one point. Those who can withstand the first wave of mental impact can directly receive ten points!

Zhang Lvliang's old face was very ugly because Luo Xiu's performance was once again unexpected, even the leader of the outer sect was moved, making him feel a great threat.

Only Luo Xiu himself scored 10 points in this assessment, surpassing Xu Ping and Wang Can in one fell swoop and temporarily ranking first!

In this way, only the last assessment is left, the competition!

When it was announced that Luo Xiu had once again received full marks, everyone's gaze once again fell on him in unison.

Especially Xu Ping and Wang Can, their faces darkened. As geniuses in their families, they were so proud that they were now overwhelmed by someone with lower cultivation than themselves, and suddenly felt a deep sense of crisis.

"During the martial arts competition, I will definitely defeat you because the first place will definitely fall into my hands!"

Wang Can walked up to Luo Xiu with a proud expression and a cold expression in his eyes.

Luo Xiu could feel Wang Can's hostility towards him, but he could also understand. After all, the reward for the entry-level assessment is only for the first place, especially the reward for the fifth grade martial arts. Apart from Luo Xiu, for other martial artists who come to participate in the assessment, the value is far more precious than three Qi Refining Pills.

But understanding comes from understanding, what Luo Xiu hates the most in his life is this kind of person who is condescending and arrogant.

So, regarding Wang Can's declaration of war, Luo Xiu ignored it, closed his eyes, and didn't even bother to pay attention to the council.

Due to the previous assessment of willpower, everyone's current state is not very good, so the final martial arts competition assessment was placed in the afternoon.

After two or three hours of rest, fifty famous sea warriors once again gathered at the martial arts arena.

The rule of martial arts assessment is that the winner can earn points from the loser. For example, if someone can defeat Luo Xiu, they can earn 28 points from him!

The way of the martial arts competition is still by drawing lots. The first opponent Luo Xiu drew was a sixteen year old boy with a strong physique, bronze skin shining with a metallic luster, and a dual peak cultivation of Qi and Sea, named Zeng Kun.

"Haha, I didn't expect to be so lucky to meet you!"

Zeng Kun walked up to the martial arts competition platform, full of energy and a smile on his face. He also had a dual cultivation of Qi and Hai, and he was confident that he could defeat Luo Xiu!

What really makes him happy is that as long as he defeats this kid, he can get the highest 28 points from him!

"It's Zeng Kun from the Zeng family in Gaoyi City!"

"Hehe, I heard that the Zeng family has a fourth level body refining martial arts called 'Copper Head and Iron Bone Skill'. They once defeated a Qi Sea Triple and are a ruthless character that can be challenged beyond their level!"

"Luo Xiu's first three assessments were all excellent, but this time he met Zeng Kun, who was two years older than him, so he might lose here."

Many onlookers under the martial arts stage were focused on watching the arena, eagerly anticipating this battle.

Of course, based on Luo Xiu's previous performance, with the combination of Pure Yang Skill and Fourth Rank Martial Arts, most people still believe that Luo Xiu has a higher chance of winning.

But as for the strength, it still depends on actual combat. Some people have high talents, but their combat effectiveness is very poor.

"Diamond hand!"

Zeng Kun strode towards Luo Xiu with a meteor like momentum, as powerful as a fierce tiger, with golden light swirling around his palms and fingers. He unleashed a third level martial arts skill, but its power was comparable to that of a fourth level martial arts master!

Obviously, Zeng Kun has cultivated a third level martial arts skill, Diamond Hand, to a great level of perfection. In the second assessment, he received a rating of 9 points!

Surprisingly, Luo Xiu did not use his sword, but instead flashed his body and punched him.

Second level martial arts skills, Dragon and Tiger Fist?

A boxing technique that uses second level martial arts skills even though there is a fourth level perfect swordsmanship that is not needed?

"How could this guy be so arrogant?" Many people's faces changed, thinking that Luo Xiu's unwise behavior was really foolish.

On the competition stage, Zeng Kun sneered at the corners of his mouth. He thought his chances of winning were unlikely, after all, his opponent was a guy who had perfected the fourth level sword technique.

But this guy actually used his second level martial arts skills to fight against him?

"Luo Xiu, you're sure to lose!" Zeng Kun laughed heartily, unleashing the power of the Diamond Hand to the limit.

Just before his attack touched Luo Xiu, his left cheek was already hit hard by Luo Xiu's fierce tiger like strike.

The expression on Zeng Kun's face instantly froze.

"Bang!"

He felt as if his face had been hit by a hammer, his sturdy body flying out horizontally, and a bloody tooth flying out.

Not only that, Luo Xiu's fist contained a pure and powerful true qi. Zeng Kun fell to the ground, with stars in his eyes, and wanted to stand up. He tried several times, but still couldn't stand up.

The scene was completely silent, and the sound of needles falling could be heard!

One move! Surprisingly, with just one move, Luo Xiu defeated Zeng Kun?

"The Copper Head and Iron Bone Skill practiced by Zeng Kun has extremely strong defense, and can't even withstand Luo Xiu's punch?"

"It's not that Zeng Kun is too weak, but that Luo Xiu is too strong. His true qi is pure and powerful, and Zeng Kun's Copper Head and Iron Bone Skill cannot be defended at all."

; "Luo Xiu's shooting speed was also too fast. He launched a surprise attack and won with one move."

Thinking of this, many people's expressions froze again, becoming strange.

In theory, Luo Xiu has successfully cultivated the fourth level swordsmanship, and his greatest skill should be undoubtedly swordsmanship. However, he has already demonstrated so much skill in a second level boxing, so how strong and fast should his swordsmanship be?

"If he uses a sword, I'm afraid he can kill Zeng Kun with just one strike!"

"No wonder he didn't use his sword, didn't he want to hurt someone?"

The high and mighty Lord Lu couldn't help but reassess Luo Xiu.

"Mengyao, you have a good eye," he said suddenly, looking at his daughter beside him.

Lu Mengyao was taken aback and said, "Father, you..."

"My daughter is like a father. How could my father not see your thoughts? But if he wants to match my daughter, he must become the number one in the outer gate before the age of eighteen and enter the inner gate!" Lu Feichen said with a smile.

"Dad..." Lu Mengyao understood her father's meaning this time, and her pretty face suddenly showed a red glow.

Luo Xiu walked down from the martial arts competition platform, ignoring the envious or respectful gazes, and instead turned his gaze to Lu Mengyao sitting next to the master of the outer gate.

He is very confident in his own strength, and without Zhang Lvliang's interference, he has full confidence in winning the first place in the assessment.

"You left me a message saying you would wait for me at the Xiaoyao Gate, and now I'm here..." This is Luo Xiu's voice at this moment!

Lu Mengyao also saw the gaze cast by Luo Xiu, and the red glow on her face suddenly became even hotter, as if she dared not look at him.

She thought Luo Xiu would have to wait at least another year or two to enter the Xiaoyao Gate, but she didn't expect that this day would come so quickly and suddenly.

"Is this the feeling of liking someone?"

Lu Mengyao couldn't help but think that although she was nine years older than Luo Xiu, for martial arts practitioners, as long as they broke through the innate realm, they had a lifespan of 300 to 500 years, and the difference of nine years was not significant.

The illness of the Fire Yang Jue Mai no longer exists, and Lu Mengyao has confidence in reaching the innate realm, and even the realm of refining the spirit.

And Luo Xiu's talent is even better than hers. As long as her father agrees, there is still a great chance for the two to be together.

Just as Lu Mengyao was thinking about these things, the assessment on the martial arts stage was still ongoing.

The loser will be eliminated directly, and the winner will receive more points.

Soon, the first round of martial arts competition ended.

Zhang Lvliang stood up and announced the rules for the second round of the competition, "The remaining 25 people, those who rank lower in points, can challenge those who rank higher. If the challenge is successful, they can replace the opponent's ranking. The top three people in the end can become the official brothers of Xiaoyao Outer Gate!"

Currently, Luo Xiu ranks first, followed by Wang Can and Xu Ping in second place.

Undoubtedly, if the lower ranked individuals want to compete for the position of external disciples, the three of them will inevitably face many challenges.

Firstly, the girl ranked 25th stepped onto the martial arts competition stage, and her opponent to challenge was Xu Ping, ranked third.

In just a short moment, the challenge failed!

Following that, ranked 24th, 23rd, 22nd... an individual came on stage one after another, some challenging Xu Ping and others challenging Wang Can.

However, in the end, without exception, all challenges failed!

Xu Ping and Wang Can are both in the triple realm of Qi and Sea, with great achievements in fourth grade martial arts and top-notch strength among others.

However, among the lower ranked individuals, there are also experts with triple aura, but they are relatively older, all 17 or 18 years old.

At this moment, another young girl walked up to the martial arts competition platform, who was undoubtedly a genius girl from the martial arts hall of New Stone City, Nie Xiaodie!

Her points rank 13th in the ranking!

Holding a long spear in her hand, Nie Xiaodie was dressed in red and looked heroic, which could be said to have attracted the attention of the whole audience.

A woman with high talent, strong strength, and a long national charm is undoubtedly the focus of more attention than Luo Xiu!

Just as everyone was speculating who Nie Xiaodie would challenge, she raised her jade hand and pointed at Luo Xiu, "I'll challenge you!"

"She actually challenged Luo Xiu?"

The whole room was in a state of uproar. There had been several challenges before, but no one chose to challenge Luo Xiu. After all, the previous battle between Luo Xiu and Zeng Kun had already shown extremely strong strength.

Luo Xiu was not surprised when Nie Xiaodie chose to challenge himself, because since Nie Xiaodie lost to him in the Qingyun Martial Palace, he had always threatened to defeat him.

This battle is inevitable.

Luo Xiu walked up to the martial arts competition platform and said calmly, "Let's take action."

At the beginning, he did not use his sword, but could defeat her with his strong internal strength cultivated through pure yang skill. Now, his strength is even more extraordinary than before, and Nie Xiaodie cannot be his opponent.

But in that case, Luo Xiu naturally wouldn't say it out loud, otherwise it would be disrespectful and humiliating to Nie Xiaodie.

"Blue clouds soar in the sky!"

Nie Xiaodie's delicate body leaped up, her red clothes fluttered, and a blue light flickered from her long spear. With a single thrust, it was like a blue light piercing through the air, howling and piercing.

She practiced the fourth level marksmanship of the New Stone Martial Palace, reaching a great level of accomplishment. Except for her slightly inferior cultivation compared to Xu Ping and Wang Can, she was basically on par in all other aspects.

Luo Xiu's footsteps moved sideways, and his figure instantly disappeared in place, causing Nie Xiaodie's fierce shot to fall into vain.

"So fast!"

Nie Xiaodie secretly exclaimed that something was wrong. Since losing to Luo Xiu, she has been practicing hard and thinking that her strength has greatly improved. However, she did not expect that Luo Xiu's body method speed has been faster than before!

"The fourth level body technique is perfect!?" Another exclamation of surprise echoed from the audience.

What kind of demon like talent is it for a person to possess two types of fourth grade martial arts perfectly!

"Tiger style!"

Luo Xiu's figure appeared on the right side of Nie Xiaodie, and he punched fiercely.
