While they were talking, the first group had already started fighting.
I saw more than forty long swords flying up and down, and people were constantly being knocked to the ground. In the preliminaries, falling to the ground means being eliminated, so people with good light skills have an advantage.
More and more people were eliminated, and Lu Yunxuan was defeated when there were still more than ten people left. But Chen Xinzhu could see that this girl was skilled in swordsmanship and was not far from the Dacheng realm.
Time flew by quickly, and the first group of preliminaries ended in a quarter of an hour.
The first group of preliminaries was orderly and orderly in the chaos. Most people competed in pairs until the last person was left. This is also the most common competition in the past, and this competition is relatively fair.
In the first group of preliminaries, the winner is Li Yang, who has cultivated to the sixth level of inner energy and attained the master level of Baiyun Swordsmanship.
Soon the second group of preliminaries began. There were more than 60 people in this group, and they also faced off in pairs. After a quarter and a half, the preliminaries ended.
In the second group of preliminaries, the winner is Wei Yanhao, who has cultivated to the sixth level of inner energy and attained the master level of Baiyun Swordsmanship.
The third group of preliminaries was a bit unexpected. It was originally a two-on-one duel, but the only disciple in this group, Baiyun Swordsmanship, who had reached the level of Dacheng, was too arrogant, and was surrounded and eliminated by other disciples.
In the final third group of preliminaries, the winner is Gu Hui, who has cultivated to the sixth level of inner energy and Baiyun Swordsmanship - the level of Xiaocheng.
The last group of disciples quickly came on stage, among which Xiao Huan and Zhou Chengwu were both in this group. When they came on stage, the two of them even exchanged eye attacks.
As soon as Priest He gave the order to start, more than sixty disciples on the field immediately started fighting.
Zhou Chengwu ignored others and went directly to Xiao Huan. He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.
"Xiao Tuan, fight with me!"
Xiao Tan felt very annoyed when he saw Zhou Chengwu's provocation.
"Since you are so eager to seek death, I will help you." Before he could finish his words, Xiao Huan went to kill Zhou Chengwu.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The two of them followed the sword and struck each other with their long swords. In the blink of an eye, they exchanged nine moves.
Both of them were clearly at the master level of Baiyun's swordsmanship.
For a moment, the two of them gathered the attention of almost 70% of the people from all directions.
"Wow, it's a strong collision from the very beginning, very exciting."
"I'm very angry. It seems there is some grudge."
"That little brother is so handsome."
"..."
"Hey, isn't that Zhou Chengwu? I didn't expect him to reach this point in his third year."
"The talent is amazing. I'm afraid I can compete for the top spot in next year's competition."
Even the big shots sitting on the third floor showed a lot of interest.
One of them said casually: "Brother He, your Luoshan Sword Academy is really full of talents. This year there are many more disciples who have reached the seventh level of inner energy than last year.
The other disciples are also outstanding, Lao Wang, I deeply admire your ability to teach disciples."
Priest He responded calmly: "Brother Wang, thank you very much. These disciples rely on themselves to become masters. Our Sword Academy does not give them much help."
At this time, the city lord of Luoshan County also spoke. "The demons are getting more and more rampant, and we need more good seedlings."
As soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused the resonance of everyone around him.
"What City Master Jiang said is right. I came here this time just to pick a few good seedlings and go back to cultivate them."
"The same is true for us at Luoyanmen."
City Lord Jiang smiled and said: "It turns out you had a plan for a long time. I'm just wondering why you all came this time."
Lao Wang said helplessly.
"Based on the current situation, I'm afraid another war will break out. It's still unclear whether we can save our lives by then. Naturally, we need to cultivate a few seeds first, so as not to interrupt the ancestral inheritance."
Others agreed.
The head of the Luoyan Sect also said: "After all, it has been peaceful for thirty years. I'm afraid these demon brats can't bear it any longer."
Priest He said calmly: "Even we can think of these, and those masters naturally know it clearly. It is natural for them to worry about the overall situation. We will do whatever we should do."
…
Xiao Tuan drew his sword and said, "It turns out that you have practiced Baiyun Sword Technique to a great level. No wonder you have the confidence to challenge me."
Zhou Chengwu responded: "Xiao Tuan, you have been bullying us for so many years, and today I want revenge!"
At this point, Zhou Chengwu's offensive became more and more fierce.
While responding to Zhou Chengwu's offensive, Xiao Huan replied: "If you want to take revenge, ask me for my sword first!"
The anger between the two of them was rising, and their swordsmanship was filled with murderous intent.
"Both of them are so strong." A disciple under the platform couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Yeah, I feel like the two of them are stronger than the winners of the first three groups." Another disciple beside him said.
"I'm afraid the two of them have gone through a lot of experience, have rich fighting experience, and their sword skills are murderous." A disciple who has reached the fifth level of inner energy said with a solemn face.
Chen Xinzhu frowned as he looked at the two people fighting on the field.
Although the two seemed evenly matched, Chen Xinzhu was keenly aware of a slight incompatibility.
With a bang, the two people on the stage separated and stared at each other. Both of them were somewhat colorful.
Xiao Tan was very annoyed by this and saw him sneer.
"Very good. I originally wanted to save myself to deal with that loser, but now I'm going to let you see my true strength."
After saying that, he raised his sword again and attacked Zhou Chengwu. Zhou Chengwu also roared angrily and raised his sword to fight again.
But this time, Zhou Chengwu fell into a disadvantage once they met.
Xiao Tan said: "I have long said that there are superiors and inferiors at the sixth level of inner energy, and you are not my opponent."
After saying that, the sword flashed and blood flew.
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Chengwu suffered several injuries, among which the injury on his right foot was relatively serious.
"Eh? Why did you suddenly become one-sided?"
"Xiao Tan has hidden his strength. It seems that he has a big agenda."
"I'm afraid he is still thinking about competing for the top ten spots."
"Is this the perfect state of Baiyun's swordsmanship? It's so amazing."
"I remember that during the competition three years ago, someone used the perfect Baiyun Sword Technique to leapfrog the challenge and defeated a disciple at the seventh level of inner energy."
The disciples in the audience were talking a lot.
Chen Xinzhu sighed inwardly when he saw this scene.
When he watched the two of them fight before, he noticed that Xiao Huan's rhythm was a bit uncoordinated. Now it seemed that it was because he was hiding his strength.
Chen Xinzhu is very aware of the gap between the realm of swordsmanship and the realm of perfection, and there is even the possibility of leapfrogging the challenge.
Judging from Zhou Chengwu's rhythm, he has exhausted all his strength, and this battle is about to end. Now we can only hope that he will be less injured...otherwise...
Facing Xiao Tuan's fierce offensive, Zhou Chengwu struggled to parry and suffered more and more wounds on his body.
Zhou Chengwu was very sad and unwilling.
Xiao Tuan is in his fourth year and is about to leave Luoshan Sword Academy. Whether he can meet again in the future is open to question. Once he cannot take revenge this time, it will be even more difficult in the future.
The rivers and lakes are far away, and demons appear in the wild. Many people spend their entire lives wandering around in one county or one county.
Therefore, even though Zhou Chengwu knew that he could not defeat Xiao Huan, he did not admit defeat. He only relied on his strong unwillingness to persevere.
But this kind of support will only make him suffer more injuries...
