Yan Qingwu's most powerful skill is her swordsmanship. Previously, because Zhang Ruochen caught her by surprise and cut off her sword, she was unable to take advantage of her swordsmanship.
In the second fight, she did not intend to face Zhang Ruochen head-on, and planned to make reasonable use of her advantage in speed.
"let's start!"
Zhang Ruochen held Shen Yuan's ancient sword and raised his hand, standing like a pine tree, silent and motionless, giving people an unfathomable feeling.
"It's snowing all over the sky."
Yan Qingwu used a high-grade spiritual sword technique, intending to test Zhang Ruochen and force Zhang Ruochen to reveal his flaws.
When Yan Qingwu's sword got closer and closer to Zhang Ruochen, Zhang Ruochen was about to be pierced through the heart by Yan Qingwu's sword.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen swung his sword in a slash. It moved like thunder, and the sword energy was like a waterfall, and slashed past Yan Qingwu.
"Bang!"
Yan Qingwu flew backwards, and when she landed on the ground, her body was broken into two pieces at the waist.
The sword in her hand also broke into two pieces.
"It turns out that all it takes is one sword."
Zhang Ruochen put away Shen Yuan's ancient sword and walked out of the testing chamber without even looking at Yan Qingwu's spiritual body.
Reaching the Great Ultimate of the Earth's Realm, Zhang Ruochen's fastest speed has reached 290 meters per second, far surpassing Yan Qingwu. Yan Qingwu has no advantage at all in terms of speed.
Coupled with the sharpness of Shen Yuan's ancient sword, he only used one sword to kill Yan Qingwu, who was ranked 100th on the Earth Ranking.
At this moment, at the top of the Earth Ranking Test Palace, Lei Jing was sitting with an old man with gray hair and a boyish face. He happened to see Zhang Ruochen killing Yan Qingwu with one sword.
That sword strike just now was so amazing, almost flawless.
"The sword's heart is clear and has no flaws."
The old man sighed: "It's really amazing. I didn't expect that such a powerful young hero would be born in Tianmo Ridge. If the news is sent back to the headquarters, even the senior officials of the Academy and the Bank will notice him."
Lei Jing shook his head and said, "Don't send the news back to the headquarters yet."
"Why?" the old man asked.
Lei Jing said with a smile: "Zhang Ruochen is still at the level of the Earthly Realm. In the eyes of those semi-saints and saints, he is just a child! It's easy to kill him. You have to know that inside the Wushi Academy, there are also
It is not monolithic. If the news leaks out, it will only lead to death for Zhang Ruochen. Therefore, the fewer people who know, the better."
The old man also nodded and said: "In other words, concealing Zhang Ruochen's test results? Not sending the news back to the headquarters."
Lei Ding nodded and said: "It's not that it's not spread, it's that it's not spread completely. If people know that Zhang Ruochen is only at the Great Extreme of the Earth Realm, and he killed the 100th master on the Earth Ranking with just one sword, it will definitely
It will cause a huge sensation. It will even attract masters from the Demon Cult and the black market and kill him at all costs."
"However, if Zhang Ruochen's cultivation at the extreme level of the Earth Realm can only compete with the 100th master on the Earth Ranking, he can only win with a slight advantage. Then, although his talent is still very high
It's amazing, but it's not to the level that makes the Demon Cult and the black market fearful. When the time comes, even if a master comes to kill him, I can help him take over."
The old man said: "I understand! If Zhang Ruochen is at the Great Extreme Level of the Earthly Realm, he can only compete with the 100th-ranked master on the Earthly Ranking. Then, even if he breaks through to the Great Perfection of the Earthly Realm, he will only be able to compete with the top 20 masters on the Earthly Ranking.
Although his strength is still arrogant to the heroes of the world, it has not reached the level that defies heaven. After all, every few years, a group of people will change in the top twenty on the earth rankings."
It's just a difference in realm, but it's a concept at two levels.
Lei Jing and the old man just used another way to hide part of Zhang Ruochen's strength and talent.
Lei Jing said: "After all, Zhang Ruochen is just a prince from a lower-level county. If he wants to reach a higher realm and get the best training, he must have a lot of training resources. After all, what I can do to help him is limited, so he
He must show some talent and gain the attention of the Academy. Only in this way can the Academy give more resources to him and help him go further."
The old man said: "In that case, let's publicize to the outside world that Zhang Ruochen is a martial arts practitioner at the extreme level of the Earth's Realm. At the same time, we will only report the actual combat test results of the first and second games to the headquarters, and the actual combat results of the third game.
Just press it down."
"I'll leave this matter to you." Lei Jing said with a cupped hand.
The old man smiled and said: "We all work for Wu City Bank, and I don't want the bank's geniuses to be killed in the cradle before they can grow up. Now, I will send today's test results and battle projections to the ground.
The true deity of Bangqi Ling.”
The old man in front of me is not a real human being, but a clone of the earthly weapon spirit.
After sending the test results out, Lei Jing also said goodbye and left to see Zhang Ruochen again.
When Lei Jing saw Zhang Ruochen, he was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Zhang Ruochen, there is one thing that I didn't discuss with you in advance, which may have been a bit rash."
Zhang Ruochen asked: "What's the matter?"
Lei Jing then told Zhang Ruochen the decision he had just made with the Dibang Weapon Spirit clone.
After listening, Zhang Ruochen frowned deeply and said, "Has it been sent back to the headquarters?"
Lei Jing saw Zhang Ruochen's worried look, so he smiled and said, "Don't be too nervous. It's a good thing to show off some of your talents. It can gain the attention of the higher-ups in the academy and give you more training resources.
If this really causes some strong men to want to kill you, I will do my best to protect you."
Of course Zhang Ruochen was not afraid of being assassinated by a master, he was worried about another thing.
During the second casting test, Zhang Ruochen had a conversation with Yan Qingwu and mentioned some things about Chi Yao's cultivation, which were absolutely secret.
Zhang Ruochen is not afraid of being known by the senior officials of Wu City Academy. After all, in the eyes of those senior officials, it is just the nonsense of a teenager in the Earth Realm, and they will not take it to heart at all.
Zhang Ruochen is afraid if the news reaches Chi Yao.
When she thinks of the name "Zhang Ruochen" again, she will definitely not think that it is a coincidence.
Once Chi Yao knows that he is not dead yet, with Chi Yao's current power and unrivaled cultivation, Zhang Ruochen will be dead even if he escapes to the ends of the earth.
"The words I said are a bit treacherous. The senior officials of Wu City Academy will probably not spread them. After all, I am also a member of Wu City Academy now. The probability of those words reaching Chi Yao's ears is very low and can almost be ignored."
Zhang Ruochen took a long breath and tried to relax himself.
"Why should you scare yourself? After all, eight hundred years have passed, who still remembers that there was a person named Zhang Ruochen eight hundred years ago? Chi Yao...maybe they have forgotten me."
Ten years is enough for people to forget a lot of things and people. What’s more, eight hundred years?
Eight hundred years is too long!
Lei Jing saw that there was still something wrong with Zhang Ruochen's face and asked, "Do you have anything else to worry about?"
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said: "No!"
After thinking for a while, Zhang Ruochen asked again: "Can you wait until the next ranking is released in three months before letting me enter the local ranking?"
"You want to postpone it for three months?"
Zhang Ruochen said: "Once the news comes out that I have entered the top 100 on the Earth Ranking, it will definitely cause an uproar in Tianmo Ridge. By then, the number of people who want to kill me will probably be ten times more than now. So, I need three
It will take me a month to consolidate my current cultivation and strive to further improve my strength to cope with the more cruel challenges in the future."
Lei Jing's heart moved slightly and he said: "Well, postponing it for three months is also a good thing for you. I will handle this matter! You go back and practice in peace, and don't delay your martial arts."
After Zhang Ruochen returned to the secret training house, he was still a little uneasy. The words he said in the testing chamber kept echoing in his mind. What would happen if they reached Chi Yao's ears?
Sitting cross-legged in the secret training room, Zhang Ruochen's whole body was like a burning furnace, his skin turned red, and drops of sweat overflowed, soaking his clothes.
"No, if you practice in this state, you will have to go crazy."
Zhang Ruochen frowned, his face was pale, even his lips were very chapped, and the meridians all over his body were slightly protruding, making him look a little ferocious.
Kong Xuan walked in from the outside, noticed Zhang Ruochen's abnormality, and asked with concern: "Master, what's wrong with you?"
"nothing."
Zhang Ruochen put away his true energy and tried to stay calm. He glanced at Kong Xuan and said calmly: "You are not studying the sword's intention. Why did you get in?"
"A woman came outside and said that she was ordered by Senior Sister Luo to ask the master to go to Senior Sister Luo's training residence." Kong Xuandao said.
"Yes! I promised Senior Sister Luo that I would exchange martial arts with her, but I almost forgot about it!"
Zhang Ruochen rubbed his temples, temporarily put aside the distracting thoughts of Chi Yao and Di Bang, and said: "Kong Xuan, you don't have to come with me, stay and continue to comprehend the sword's meaning."
Outside the cultivation residence, stood a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old. She was frail and very delicate, and her temperament was somewhat similar to that of Luo Shuihan.
Her martial arts cultivation has reached the Xiaoji level of Xuanji Realm. She is a talented girl from the Luo clan named Luo Xinyao.
In terms of talent, Luo Xinyao is better than many students from the outer palace and has the qualifications to enter the inner palace academy.
After waiting for a while, Zhang Ruochen still didn't come out. Luo Xinyao was a little impatient and said angrily: "You are just an inner palace disciple. Senior Sister Luo took the initiative to invite you, but you still put on a show. I don't know how many people there are, and it's hard to even come to visit on your own initiative.
When you meet Senior Sister Luo, who do you think you are?"
Although Luo Xinyao is only a sideline of the Luo clan, she is also a member of the Saint family, so naturally she does not take the warriors of Tianmoling in her eyes.
She really couldn't understand why Senior Sister Luo valued this Zhang Ruochen so much that she even took the initiative to invite him to talk about martial arts together.
