When Xi Zhong and Wu Mei started chasing the road ahead.
The disciples outside cursed angrily when they saw that Wu Mei and Xi Zhong seemed to have reunited, and even rode a spiritual cloud with Wu Mei.
Then why did Xi Zhong suddenly form an alliance with Wu Mei?
And why did Wu Mei choose to continue her alliance with Xi Zhong?
And from the looks of it, it seems that Wu Mei took the initiative to seek an alliance with Xi Zhong.
After all, Wu Mei was chasing after Xi Zhong earlier.
This made many male disciples extremely bitter.
However, they could only discuss it in the square, and it would not affect Xi Zhong and Wu Mei, who were continuing to climb higher in Sword Mountain.
As for the examiner monks sitting above the clouds and mist, they looked at each other in confusion, and then looked at the old monk with speechless eyes.
The old monk's mouth twitched.
Because the eyes of these companions seemed to say, "Look, the examiner monk couldn't persuade Xi Zhong to climb higher even if he traveled far away, but the beautiful woman took action and easily made Xi Zhong nod."
This made the old monk puff his beard and stare in anger, "This guy is really a lecher! How can a monk be so lecherous!?"
Jiao Xi laughed loudly on the side, "Why can't Taoist monks be lustful? To like beautiful women is the most normal thing in the eyes of men, and it's not like there have been some weird monks who entered Taoism through lust."
The old monk could only snort.
But in the end the goal was achieved.
Let that boy Xi Zhong climb up obediently.
To be honest, all the examiners and monks present wanted to see how high this disciple Xi Zhong, who was only at the ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm, could climb, and how shocking his performance would be when he faced off against Yuan Qiong, Su Nian and others.
…
The road ahead is actually not just sprinting.
There are fights too.
Among the top twenty mountain roads, there were several places where loud sounds of fighting could be heard.
For example, the woman named "Hu Tao" ranked fourteenth had a fight with the man named "Hu Han" ranked thirteenth.
Although both of them had a surname of Hu, they didn't know why they got into a fight. It must have been a grudge before.
There was also a fight between Lu Jie, who was ranked fourth, and Wu Ni, who was originally ranked second.
As for Su Nian and Yuan Qiong, they still climbed up with difficulty.
Although the two did not fight, neither one wanted to lag behind the other, and both wanted to win the first place.
While everyone in front was struggling to climb higher, Wu Mei and Xi Zhong's rankings were rising rapidly.
Along the way, many disciples were shocked.
They only saw a flash of red cloud passing by.
On the ranking list outside the square, the rankings of those in green shirts and red shirts are rising crazily.
Eighty people...
Seventy people...
Fifty people...
Forty people...
…
Finally we made it to the top twenty.
When they came to the top twenty, Xi Zhong and Wu Mei met an "acquaintance".
Sima Hongyi.
At this moment, Wu Mei had no choice but to walk on the ground and climb high, because if she continued to use Yufeng Yuanyou's magical power here, the consumption of her spiritual power would be greatly increased, which was not a good behavior.
The spiritual power must be retained in the final sprint.
Xi Zhong looked at the indifferent Sima Hongyi in front of him and laughed softly: "What a coincidence, brother Sima, we meet again."
Sima Hongyi glanced at Xi Zhong, then looked at Wu Mei, but did not speak, but turned around and continued climbing.
Xi Zhong looked at Wu Mei and said with a smile, "How do you say that?"
"The days ahead are long." Wu Mei said calmly: "Now our goal is just to climb higher. There is no need to have disputes in the middle, and..."
She paused, and her tone suddenly became murderous, "We can't kill it here. If we try hard, it will lead to the appearance of the examiner monk. There is no chance that we will be eliminated because of this. It's not worth it."
Xi Zhong just laughed when he heard this and sighed in his heart.
It seemed that this woman was really ruthless, and she clearly regarded Sima Hongyi as a dead person in her words.
You can't kill people here, you can only kill them later when you can.
If we take action now, we will only alert the enemy.
This is what Wu Mei means.
Xi Zhong still quite agreed.
Cut the grass without removing the root, but it will grow again when the spring breeze blows.
Especially for opponents like Sima Hongyi who have a complicated family background, the best way is to kill him secretly, so that the family background behind him can't find out who did it, even better.
Xi Zhong raised his head and glanced around.
There is no pavilion around, it is all extremely barren land. There are only extremely smooth stone slabs that have been worn by the strong wind, and roads that all lead to the top of the mountain clearly.
The Gangfeng here is already extremely fierce. Even though Xi Zhong has the fist to protect his body, there is still a trace of Gangfeng intruding in and scratching Xi Zhong's body.
But Xi Zhong didn't care at all.
As long as the strong wind scratches his face, Xi Zhong will avoid it. Otherwise, if it just cuts his body, Xi Zhong will not avoid it at all and will let the strong wind blow on him.
Xi Zhong did not deliberately thicken his body-protecting fists, nor did he use all his strength to defend himself. He just protected the fists so that those strong winds would not tear his clothes to pieces.
Wu Mei who was watching this made Wu Mei puzzled.
She asked: "Why don't you use magic weapons to protect your body?"
In her opinion, letting this kind of strong wind cut into your body is really a punishment.
Seeing that Xi Zhong was constantly being cut with tiny wounds and stained with blood, her heart wrinkled slightly.
Xi Zhong didn't feel anything strange. He just said calmly: "Actually, it's okay. Don't worry, it's just a small wound. On the contrary, letting your body suffer the pain of being torn apart by the wind can also strengthen your body. If not
There are other people here, and some are climbing up. In fact, I wish I could just withdraw my body-protecting fist, and then just stand here, letting the wind blow around my body..."
"Doesn't it hurt?" Wu Mei asked softly.
In her opinion, this behavior is simply self-harm.
"It definitely hurts, but I'm used to it." Xi Zhong said calmly.
I'm used to it.
This sentence is actually very simple to say.
But Wu Mei could hear the meaning.
She turned her head and looked at Xi Zhong thoughtfully.
She didn't know how Xi Zhong was able to have such a perverted physique.
But she knew that Xi Zhong must have suffered a lot because of this.
As for how painful it was, she didn't know.
I want to know, but I have no way of knowing.
The two of them continued to climb in silence, but their pace was extremely fast.
He passed many people along the way.
When those people saw that red dress, there was no surprise.
Because in their eyes, although Wu Mei had fallen behind before, with her strength, it was only natural for her to catch up.
But when they saw the ninth-level Qi Refining Realm boy next to Wu Mei, they were a little unbelievable.
We are all here, and there are still monks at the ninth level of Qi Refining Realm!?
Is there any mistake?
Does that person carry some kind of peerless defense treasure?
But when they saw the essence of the fist on Xi Zhong's body, they fell silent.
Xi Zhong ignored these people and continued to climb higher.
Wu Mei originally thought that she would take care of Xi Zhong, as Xi Zhong might not be able to withstand these strong winds.
But in fact, she was wrong.
Not only did Xi Zhong not walk slowly because of his low level, but as the wind became more violent, his steps became faster and more determined.
Even Wu Mei had to grit her teeth, mobilize the spiritual power in her dantian to pour out, and at the same time use the bellyband she wore as underwear to defend against ancient treasures, so that she could barely keep up with Xi Zhong's pace.
At this moment, Xi Zhong's green shirt was actually soaked in blood.
Along the way, Xi Zhongdu did not deliberately resist the strong wind.
These Gangfeng can be said to be a "great tonic" for Xi Zhong.
It's been a long time since I've been hurt so happily.
If Wu Mei heard what Xi Zhong was thinking, she would probably think that Xi Zhong was a pervert.
Wu Mei looked at the injuries on Xi Zhong's body, her eyes becoming more and more unbearable, "Now that we have entered the top ten, shouldn't it be time for you to resist these strong winds? Use your strongest posture to face it.
The enemy, especially the enemy is Su Nian and Yuan Qiong, isn't it bad?"
Xi Zhong smiled lightly, "Actually, I think the current state is quite good."
There was one sentence Xi Zhong didn't say.
In fact, the state when I was injured was the strongest state.
The monks who specialize in physical training in the world never pursue "no injury" when fighting the enemy. On the contrary, they pursue "injury".
Long Yuan also said that proper injuries to the body can not only strengthen the body, but also stimulate the body.
Now, every wound and cell in Xi Zhong's body feels like it is beating with joy, as if it is longing for the stronger wind to blow.
Seeing that her efforts to dissuade her were in vain, Wu Mei sighed and continued to climb higher.
Xi Zhong walked halfway and thought for a while, then took off his green shirt that was completely stained red by blood, put it into the storage ring, and then exposed his upper body covered with scars.
Xi Zhong's body has not become strong because of half a year of hard work, and it looks like he is just the figure of an average person.
But even with this seemingly ordinary physique, the punches and power he unleashed would shock all the enemies who fought against Xi Zhong.
Although she had already seen it once, Wu Mei still felt a little palpitated when she saw Xi Zhong's body again without any "complete" body.
As the saying goes, there is no such thing as pie in the sky.
Xi Zhong was able to possess such abnormal combat power, and the price he had to pay must be beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Wu Mei couldn't imagine it either.
Especially the circles on Xi Zhong's arms that looked like stitched wounds made him frown even more.
The circles of scars were as if Xi Zhong's arm had been cut off section by section and then sewn back together.
Maybe Wu Mei wouldn't have thought that the result of her guess seemed to be like this.
