"Is this really...your granddaughter? She's not pretending to be someone else, right?"
There was a moment of silence in the audience, and everyone was so frightened that they could not speak. The old man on one side couldn't hold it in any longer and looked at the elder Bai Ye next to him.
He had known about Bai Ruanqing's situation for a long time. Even if he learned two new sword techniques, he wouldn't be so strong!
Liu Yulian was shot in the head with a sword...
Doesn’t it mean that this girl already has the top three core abilities?
The top three every time... are famous in the entire history of Lingyun Jiange.
From the 17th, it takes less than half an hour to fight all the way up...
"It seems..."
Shuddering, Elder Bai Ye also went a little crazy.
Although I guessed that my granddaughter may have received the teaching "I am very low-key", but... it is still unbelievable to reach the top three in one go with just two moves.
After Liu Yulian was defeated, the second-ranked core disciple took the initiative to step forward.
His strength was not much different from that of Liu Yulian. Under Zhang Xuan's guidance, he was hit in the head with the same move and died on the spot.
"The number one in the core is called He Jingxuan, and he is the grandson of the first elder He Tian!"
"This competition should be about fighting for the first place in the core!"
"Even if Bai Ruanqing ranks first in Tongshen Temple, his true strength is not the first. After all, cultivation is suppressed here. In reality, He Jingxuan is said to have reached the peak of the True Immortal Realm, and is only only 10 meters away from the Immortal Lord Realm.
One step away!"
"Bai Ruanqing has also reached the True Immortal Realm. As long as he can surpass He Jingxuan at the same level in swordsmanship, and with the status of Elder Bai Ye, it should not be difficult to raise his cultivation to the peak of the True Immortal Realm in a short period of time!"
"It is much easier to break through at the same level than to cross a level..."
…
Seeing He Jingxuan, who represents the core's strongest combat power, step onto the competition stage, everyone below lowered their voices.
If this person is defeated again, the entire core will be pierced by one person, and the entire army will be annihilated.
"I'll also bet with you..."
Unaffected by the previous failure, He Jingxuan looked over calmly.
"Thank you, Senior Brother He!"
Bai Ruanqing nodded and raised his sword in his hand: "Let's begin!"
"Um!"
Taking a deep breath, He Jingxuan's sword moves trembled and he stepped forward first.
His footwork is not fast, and his sword moves don't look fancy at all, but they give people a feeling of being closed in, as if they are facing a mysterious turtle that cannot be penetrated or cut away no matter what.
"It's the turtle sword technique!"
Someone recognized it.
"The turtle sword technique is designed for defense. It seems that Senior Brother He is also a little wary of the opponent's flying sword..."
"It's impossible not to be afraid. There are no false starts. Once you take action, you will be stabbed in the head. Who can stop it?"
"That's true. Anyway, I only have a dead end..."
…
There was a lot of discussion.
Although the Spirit Turtle Sword Technique was mainly about defense, no one said that He Jingxuan was weak. On the contrary, they all felt that this technique was very good.
When fighting with others, face and face are secondary. Only when you win can you have dignity. For the sake of face, if you attack as soon as you take action, it will be easy for others to take advantage of you. In the end, the only way out is defeat.
Seeing that the opponent's sword skills were like a turtle, unable to attack, Bai Ruanqing's face was full of anxiety.
Don't know how to attack?
How else to win?
While I was struggling, the voice of "Uncle Master" sounded in my ears again: "Have you ever killed a turtle?"
"This..." Bai Ruanqing did not answer.
Although she has never killed a turtle, she has heard others talk about it.
"You need to use food to attract the other party and expose your secrets, and then think of ways to cut the mess quickly..."
Uncle Master's voice continued: "The same is true for this situation! If the opponent wants to defeat you, he must take the initiative to attack. Therefore, you must use yourself to attract the opponent. Once you attack, it is also your best time to attack... I understand.
I have taught you that whether you can win or not depends on you!"
"yes……"
Bai Ruanqing suddenly realized, his eyes filled with gratitude.
She knew this was the training given by her uncle.
We have already talked about how to defeat it. If you still can’t do it, even if you fight for the first place, you will be snatched away by others sooner or later!
And as long as you succeed, you will make a qualitative leap in both swordsmanship and psychology, and the core will truly be unstoppable!
Just like Ximen Chuixue's swordsmanship is not as good as that of Ye Gucheng. Although he is powerful, he is not the best. But after killing Ye Gucheng, his mentality changed. As time went by, he truly became a sword god, invincible in the world.
.
This is the situation she faced.
Uncle Master has always pointed out that even if he wins, he will rely on it in his heart. He feels that he did not win by his own ability. He urgently needs a victory of his own to confirm his heart.
Determine your own swordsmanship!
Whoosh!
Knowing the good intentions of "Uncle Master", Bai Ruanqing stopped talking nonsense and rushed straight towards He Jingxuan in front of him.
"Is this... feeding the sword with one's body?"
Elder Baiye's pupils shrank.
Zhang Xuan could see He Jingxuan's flaws, and as one of the three elders, he could naturally understand it, but he didn't expect...his granddaughter to be so decisive!
To rush over like this is equivalent to using yourself as bait. If you are not careful, you will be killed on the spot.
"Before, I thought that your granddaughter was able to win because she learned a strange sword technique. Even if she became the top three, it would not be considered her true strength. But now... I feel that I have made a mistake!"
The old man not far away smiled bitterly.
Starting from the sixteenth challenge, the opponent used two moves over and over again, either a horizontal push or a sword throw... without any technical content.
Even if you get first place, you won't get your own recognition.
And Xuan Zai actually saw the opponent's flaws at a glance, used his body to feed the sword, and was not afraid of death. This alone is enough to show that his understanding of the sword has reached a more advanced level, rather than just the strength of his sword moves.
Hoo ho ho!
As the two chatted, the scene on the stage changed. He Jingxuan seemed to know the other party's purpose, and still did not attack, but slowly retreated.
It seems that he also knows that the other party will find another opportunity and will not give any possibility of a sneak attack.
"This response is good..."
Seeing this scene in his eyes, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but nod.
To be honest, Bai Ruanqing did a good job, and the He Jingxuan opposite was also very strong. No wonder he became the first. His mentality is really extraordinary.
At this moment, he is like a patient hunter, quietly guarding in the grass, waiting for the best opportunity to kill with one strike!
If he were to fight against him, he would definitely use violent methods to force the opponent to show weaknesses and then attack. However, Bai Ruanqing did not have enough attacks, so he could only wait patiently like his opponent.
Now the competition is no longer about swordsmanship, but about whose patience is better.
After testing more than a dozen moves in a row, Bai Ruanqing felt anxious in his heart as the opponent should not strike first no matter what.
She didn't have much patience to begin with, and now that she was being watched by so many people, she couldn't bear it anymore.
"At this moment..."
Opposite him, He Jingxuan saw that her mood was getting worse and worse, his eyes lit up, and with a sudden movement, his sword shot out.
Just like a cheetah attacking, if it doesn't move, it will move, but if it moves, it will be so fast that people can't see it.
"Coming!"
Bai Ruanqing clenched his teeth and shot out the sword in his hand.
There was some impatience in my heart, but I also remembered my uncle's words and waited for the other party to have problems.
Phew!
The opponent's long sword stabbed into the chest, and her sword also fell on He Jingxuan's head, piercing it directly.
Snap!
He Jingxuan, died.
Bai Ruanqing, die!
In fact, both sides suffered losses and perished together!
"It's still too bad..."
Zhang Xuan shook his head.
They all talked about how to fight. I thought this woman could win, but unexpectedly...it was only a draw.
What a shame!
Fortunately, he is not his student, otherwise, I really want to slap him to death.
It's a pity... The number one could have wiped out all his money, but this time, he obviously has no chance.
Different from his depression, there was a sudden silence below, and everyone present was shocked and speechless.
Obviously, it was hard for them to believe that Bai Ruanqing could tie with He Jingxuan.
"Congratulations, you have a wonderful granddaughter!"
Seeing the figures on the stage, the two warring parties turned into light spots and disappeared, and the old man on one side couldn't help but clasp his fists.
"Haha, she became enlightened recently..."
Elder Bai Ye's face was full of joy.
His granddaughter was able to draw with the core number one, and his face was filled with pride.
"It's very powerful, but... it's not a good idea to make people lose all their Jiange coins in a bet! If it spreads, it will damage your reputation!"
The old man said.
Just compete with peace of mind, and bet money...
What a loss!
You are already the third elder of Lingyun Jiange. Give it to your granddaughter. If she does this and spreads it, you will not be happy!
"This... I will teach you a lesson when I go back!"
Elder Baiye nodded.
"Master, I'm afraid it's too late to go back and teach you a lesson..." Bai Feng said from one side.
Elder Bai Ye was stunned for a moment.
Indeed, if we go back and teach him a lesson, this matter will definitely have spread, and by then, even if our granddaughter ends up tied with the first one, she will definitely be criticized.
"I'll deal with it now!"
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and took a step forward: "Everyone..."
The voice was loud and everyone's eyes immediately focused on him.
"Just now, Bai Ruanqing made a bet with you all to win and take away all the opponent's Jiange coins. It was just a joke. The purpose is to let you use your best to display the strongest moves, so as to ensure the fairness of the competition!"
Elder Bai Ye smiled faintly: "Because it was a joke, the bet just now is over. There is no need to be nervous..."
"Just give it up?"
Before he finished speaking, a voice full of displeasure rang out: "You just give up when you say you will give up? Who do you think you are?"
Frowning his brows, Elder Bai Ye turned around and saw a young man walking over.
"I am... just an ordinary disciple. I think Bai Ruanqing thinks this way. I don't know, but you are..."
Seeing how disrespectful and angry he was, Elder Bai Ye was about to reveal his identity, but paused for a moment, then stopped and asked in confusion.
He is an elder, so it is best not to reveal his identity, otherwise his reputation will be greatly damaged.
"My dear, 'I'm very handsome'! She's Bai Ruanqing's best friend, and that's exactly what I said."
Zhang Xuan nodded: "Since we are making a bet, we have to give money. If you don't want to give money, that's fine. Then just take a look at my sword and see if you agree or not!"
Give up the money you finally earned?
What a joke!
Who dares to ask me to give up, see if I don’t beat the shit out of you!
