Xiao Tan looked at Zhou Chengwu who was still holding on tenaciously in front of him, and his heart became cruel.
If you don’t know what is good and what is bad, I will destroy you.
After deliberately selling several loopholes, Xiao Huan finally caught an opportunity and flicked the long sword in Zhou Chengwu's hand, leaving him wide open.
Taking this opportunity, Xiao Tan jumped up and kicked out with both feet, all of which hit Zhou Chengwu's chest.
Bang! Bang! Bang!... Bang...
The nine-leg chain kick is a third-rate kicking technique passed down by Xiao Tan's family.
Looking at Zhou Chengwu again, he was hit by this move from the front and was kicked backwards.
Flying in mid-air, Zhou Chengwu couldn't help but open his mouth and spit out a large mouthful of blood...
it hurts……
Are you going to die?
Revenge has not been fulfilled, but he is about to die. What a coward.
I’m so unwilling!
We obviously made an appointment to have barbecue together...
But I am going to... break the promise.
Obviously he has not become a great hero yet.
I haven’t said thank you to Brother Chen yet.
I haven’t told Xiaoxuan yet...
With deep reluctance, Zhou Chengwu... passed into a coma.
All this is a long story, but actually it only happened in a blink of an eye.
Seeing Zhou Chengwu flying off the platform, he was about to hit the ground.
A white shadow flew from a distance in an instant.
It is Chen Xinzhu.
After catching Zhou Chengwu falling to the ground, Chen Xinzhu looked down.
I saw that Zhou Chengwuren had passed out.
There was bright red blood everywhere on the corners of his mouth, face, and clothes, and various wounds were all over his body.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xinzhu's face turned cold instantly.
He knew very well that Zhou Chengwu's superficial injuries were not serious and could be recovered within a few days of recovery.
But the last kick really hurt Zhou Chengwu's internal organs.
It is impossible to fully recover without a month or two.
This is out-and-out bad news for Zhou Chengwu.
This will even affect his results in next year's competition. If he is unlucky, he may never have a chance with the Huashan Sect again.
Moreover, Chen Xinzhu knew it very well.
In this battle, the reason why Zhou Chengwu fought to such an extent may be largely for his own wishes, but part of it must also be to help Chen Xinzhu.
You know, Zhou Chengwu is one year younger than Chen Xinzhu and Xiao Tan.
Not this year, but next year.
With Zhou Chengwu's performance, as long as he continues to maintain his performance, it can be said that he will be able to win a spot next year, and he may even have a chance to compete for the top spot.
It can be said that the future is promising.
But Chen Xinzhu is different. This year is his last chance, but he encounters a huge obstacle - Xiao Tan!
You must know that when Baiyun Swordsmanship reaches the perfect state, it can be challenged beyond the level.
In the history of Luoshan Sword Academy, this situation has happened dozens of times.
Given the bad relationship between Xiao Tuan and Chen Xinzhu, it goes without saying that when the challenge comes, Xiao Tuan will definitely choose Chen Xinzhu as his challenger.
If Chen Xinzhu loses then, it will be all over!
Not only Chen Xinzhu thought of this, but Zhou Chengwu also thought of it.
Although Chen Xinzhu's current strength is not clear to Zhou Chengwu.
But Zhou Chengwu still knew Chen Xinzhu's strength three months ago.
Three months ago, Chen Xinzhu's cultivation was only at the sixth level of Inner Qi, and his Baiyun Swordsmanship had only reached the minor level.
In Zhou Chengwu's opinion, three months of training from the sixth level of inner energy to the seventh level of inner energy might have consumed all Chen Xinzhu's energy.
I'm afraid there won't be any progress in the realm of swordsmanship.
Look at it this way.
Xiao Tuan's cultivation is at the sixth level of inner energy, and Baiyun Sword Technique has reached the perfect state.
As for Chen Xinzhu's cultivation level, he is at the seventh level of inner energy, and Baiyun swordsmanship is most likely still at the level of Xiaocheng.
From this point of view, Xiao Huan still has a slight advantage among the two.
In fact, this is also the view of most people present.
Then consider the personality differences between the two of them.
I'm afraid, Chen Xinzhu's chances of winning are relatively slim.
It was precisely based on this consideration that Zhou Chengwu chose to persevere even though he knew he had no hope of victory.
All he did was to slightly increase Chen Xinzhu's chances of winning.
If more of Xiao Tuan's internal energy can be consumed, and even some injuries can be caused to Xiao Tuan, then Chen Xinzhu, who is waiting for work, will have a much better chance of winning.
Unfortunately, there was still a big gap in strength between Zhou Chengwu and Xiao Huan, and in the end Zhou Chengwu was seriously injured and passed out.
Of course, a small part of his goal was achieved.
Xiao Tan's inner energy was indeed consumed by him...
…
Gently wiping away the blood on Zhou Chengwu's face, Chen Xinzhu said softly in his heart.
"Although I know that you did this for the sake of Chen Xinzhu in the past, after all, I am the one who benefits now, and I cannot remain indifferent. From now on, I will try to treat you as true friends."
Chen Xinzhu initially treated Zhou Chengwu and Lu Yunxuan as just friends of the original owners.
Although he was still very kind to the two of them for the original owner's sake, he actually didn't have much affection for them.
Therefore, when Zhou Chengwu and the others did not take the initiative to ask, Chen Xinzhu did not specifically mention his current cultivation level.
I didn't think much about it at the time and just let it take its course.
But he didn't expect that Zhou Chengwu would be seriously injured because of this incident.
This also made Chen Xinzhu change his inner thoughts.
…
"Brother Chen, is Xiao Wu okay?"
Lu Yunxuan hurried over after seeing Zhou Chengwu being beaten away.
However, there was a big gap between her Qinggong and Chen Xinzhu's, so she fell behind.
Chen Xinzhu did not reply, but looked at Xiao Tan on the platform.
At this time, Xiao Tuan was also looking at Chen Xinzhu. Seeing him, Xiao Tuan sneered.
"Qinggong is pretty good. Why, you want to avenge Zhou Chengwu? But can you do it? I don't think Zhou Chengwu has much confidence in you."
After hearing this, Chen Xinzhu replied expressionlessly.
"Our grudges started between you and me. Let's put an end to it here today. I'll be waiting for you in the challenge." After saying that, without waiting for Xiao Tan to reply, Chen Xinzhu picked up Zhou Chengwu and left quickly.
"Xiaoxuan, let's go, first go treat Xiaowu's injuries."
"Okay, Brother Chen."
Xiao Tan looked at the three people's retreating figures, sneered, and murmured to himself.
"It seems that you are no longer the loser you once were. Looking at your calm appearance, let me guess, has your Baiyun Sword Technique been practiced to the level of Dacheng? Or is it the state of perfection??
From this point of view, if it weren't for me, you would really be able to become a disciple of Huashan, right? But now, let me shatter your dream."
While talking, Xiao Tan eliminated two more disciples.
…
Second floor on the right.
Someone said: "Peng Yu, didn't you say that Chen Xinzhu is not something to be afraid of? It seems that his strength is not weak."
"Looking at his calm appearance, Baiyun's swordsmanship has at least reached the level of Dacheng, right?" someone on the side said.
"I also find it strange. I saw Xiao Tuan bullying him half a year ago. At that time, his cultivation level was only at the fifth level of inner energy. In just half a year, his cultivation level has been upgraded to two levels. His Baiyun Sword Technique should not have much time to improve.
Practice is the right thing." Peng Yu replied with some doubts.
"So, I'm afraid he has already practiced Baiyun Sword Technique to a great level as early as half a year ago, right?"
"It's possible."
"Looking at it this way, it seems like another strong enemy?"
"Then Xiao Tan is not weak either. The pressure of competition this year is a bit greater."
At this time, a girl in blue shook her head, seeming to have a different view.
She looked at the crowd and said softly: "In my opinion, it's just the opposite. The two of them don't pose much of a threat to us."
As soon as these words came out, everyone else turned to look at her.
"Lan Yutong, what do you think?"
"Lan Yutong, you claim to have extraordinary intelligence, but I'd like to see what insights you have to offer." A girl in red next to her said with a hint of ridicule.
This woman's name is Wang Su, and she has always disliked Lan Yutong's pretentiousness. When she saw that she was pretending again, she couldn't help but criticize her directly.
But before Lan Yutong could reply, a young man in white clothes beside him spoke first.
"So that's it. As the saying goes, when two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. With the grievances between those two people, I'm afraid there will be a big fight in the challenge session later. Naturally, one person will be eliminated directly. As for the remaining person, I'm afraid there will be a big fight.
There isn’t much energy left.”
Hearing this, Lan Yutong nodded slightly: "That's right, both of them have already been eliminated early."
"I see, you are indeed Miss Lan."
Wang Su was extremely depressed and glared at the young man in white.
They are all pretentious, which is really annoying.
Thinking of this, Wang Su turned his head and looked at the unsociable person next to him.
The man was dressed in black, sitting alone at a table, closing his eyes and concentrating.
Not affected at all.
…
In a big house next to the martial arts arena.
"Ouch, it hurts so much. Damn it, you hit me so hard."
"Stop shouting, it's embarrassing. We will all step into the world in the future, so this pain is nothing... ah! Doctor, be gentle, be gentle..."
"..."
Seeing that the doctor had treated Zhou Chengwu's wound, Chen Xinzhu also breathed a sigh of relief.
Turning to Lu Yunxuan, she said, "Xiaoxuan, Xiaowu, I'll leave it to you first."
Lu Yunxuan nodded: "Brother Chen, don't worry, I will guard Xiao Wu."
Chen Xinzhu nodded slightly, said nothing, turned around and walked out.
Seeing Chen Xinzhu's retreating figure, Lu Yunxuan felt a little worried and couldn't help shouting.
"Brother Chen..."
Chen Xinzhu stopped and did not look back or speak.
Looking at Chen Xinzhu's resolute back, Lu Yunxuan had complicated thoughts, opened her mouth, and finally said...
"I trust you……"
Chen Xinzhu turned his back to Lu Yunxuan, nodded, and left quickly...
