In fact, Qu Jiuge's performance was already excellent enough.
If it weren't for Sun Ning, he would have amazed and praised everyone present as he did in the past.
Over the past few days, Sun Ning and Qu Jiuge have been compared by countless people.
But it was the first time that the two performed on the same stage, and in the first competition in a completely fair environment, Sun Ning actually won.
Qu Jiuge couldn't accept it.
Even more than 70% to 80% of the Qin people would never accept the fact that the greatest genius of the Qin Dynasty was outclassed by people from other dynasties.
Qujiuge is Qujiuge!
Although he was furious in his heart, his face looked calm and calm. Instead of showing any sign of displeasure, he turned towards Sun Ning and said from a distance: "It is extremely difficult to practice the Autumn Wind and Autumn Rain Sword. How can you actually do it for the first time?"
When I was studying, I realized that the meaning of the sword was really powerful and unbelievable, and Qu Jiuge was willing to be defeated!"
"Qu Jiuge has a broad mind and is truly a model for the Qin people!"
"It is precisely because of such a big heart and his martial arts attainments that he can reach such a state!"
The people of Qin praised him one after another.
What is intriguing is that Qu Jiuge's words seemed to be praising Sun Ning, but in fact they focused more on the difficulty of practicing the Qiu Feng Qiu Yu Sword.
On the contrary, there was no mention of Sun Ning's cultivation talent.
This has aroused many people's suspicions - given the difficulty of practicing the Qiu Feng Qiu Yu Sword, one can understand the sword's meaning after only practicing for a few dozen minutes. Can such a genius with such great wisdom and demons really exist in the world?
Even Qu Jiuge couldn't understand the sword intention, why could Sun Ning be able to understand it?
Speaking of which, I have long heard that His Majesty is very fond of Sun Ning, and the third princess also has a favorable eye for this person, and has long been appointed as the consort of Great Qin.
How could we know that King Qin had not asked him to practice the Autumn Wind and Autumn Rain Sword a long time ago?
King Qin still had a faint smile on his face, but what kind of person was he? Not only did he understand the implication of Qu Jiu Ge, but he could even discern the changes in people's minds. He secretly thought that Qu Jiu Ge was also a powerful character, but he was narrow-minded and had achievements.
upper limit.
These two people now seem like twins.
But it won't be long before Sun Ning will leave Qu Jiuge behind him.
The King of Qin said: "Both Sun Ning and Qu Jiuge have perfected the Qiu Feng Qiu Yu Sword, so they deserve a heavy reward. Give Qu Jiuge a low-grade treasure!"
Qu Jiuge said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Sun Ning has not only completed the cultivation of the Qiu Feng Qiu Yu Sword, but also understood the meaning of the sword. If he wants a heavy reward, give him a middle-grade treasure!"
Sun Ning was surprised and thanked him.
Although he has no shortage of medium-grade treasures, the King of Qin would give away treasures whenever he disagreed, and his behavior was capricious and wealthy. It seems that the national power of the Qin Dynasty was indeed far from comparable to that of the Chu Dynasty.
The crowd started talking again.
Your Majesty even rewards treasures with a distinction between high and low. This is a clear intention to elevate Sun Ning and even suppress Qu Jiuge.
There was a faint smile on Qu Jiuge's face, still looking calm and calm.
At this time, General Qin came to the center of Shengde Terrace and said loudly: "In the second round of assessment, those who have advanced will compete in pairs, the loser will be eliminated, and the winner will be kept for the next competition. The emperor comes forward to advise you.
That's it. But if there are any casualties, they are all voluntary and have nothing to do with the royal family!"
"The rules of the competition will refer to the results of the first round, from the first place to the last place, and the second place to the second to last... Now, the competition begins! Anyone whose name is read, please come on stage immediately!"
"Sun Ning versus Tang Shu..."
Sun Ning's first battle was against Tang Shu, the Eighth Sect Master of the Dayong Dynasty.
He has now reached the level of a two-star Yuanjun, and can deal with eight Yuanshi without any effort.
The opponent in the second battle was the Great Qin warrior Chu Xijiang who seemed to be a little younger than him.
Although this young man is an Eight Sect Master, his swordsmanship is truly extraordinary, and his basic skills are particularly solid, much better than the average Xiantian realm warrior.
Although Sun Ning was able to defeat the enemy with one move, he developed a love for talent. After fighting him for dozens of moves, he only managed to win half of them. It didn't look like winning was easy.
The winner was determined, and before leaving the stage, the two men bowed and saluted each other, performing a standard 'sword master's salute', which caused a burst of cheers from the people on the viewing gallery.
An hour later, Sun Ning had gone through three battles, and only a dozen of the original seventy people had been eliminated.
What's left at this time is basically the group of people who performed well in the previous assessment.
Especially Qu Jiu Ge.
His performance can only be described as perfect.
No matter what opponent he encounters, even if he never draws a sword, his powerful momentum alone can make the opponent unable to resist and surrender.
"In the next round, Sun Ning will fight Wang Banshan!"
As soon as General Qin finished speaking, Wang Banshan could not wait to walk to Shengde Taichung. His eyes were full of excitement and impatience.
Because of his excellent performance in the first round, Sun Ning's opponents in the first three matches were all Eight Sect Geniuses.
Until now, he has not revealed the tip of the iceberg to everyone about his true strength.
Seeing Sun Ning approaching step by step, Wang Banshan's face showed uncontrollable joy.
He has disliked this boy for a long, long time!
If he could break Sun Ning's bones, he would definitely not just vomit blood.
But there was never a chance.
Now, the opportunity has come.
And it's under such a spotlight.
Now, whoever defeats Sun Ning will surely become famous quickly.
Wang Banshan deeply felt that this must be the Bodhisattva blessing him.
There were also low murmurs from the crowd.
Many people are not optimistic about Sun Ning.
No matter how talented Sun Ning is, he is only a two-star Yuanjun.
But Wang Banshan has already reached the innate seven-star realm.
Almost everyone knows how big the difference is between a warrior who has opened seven star veins and a warrior who has only opened two.
Sun Ning stopped when he was seven feet away from the two of them. In his hand was the long sword, a medium-grade treasure that King Qin had just rewarded. It was red all over, like a ball of fire.
Wang Banshan licked his lips, as if he had seen the most delicious prey in the world, and the excitement in his eyes flickered uncontrollably. He lowered his voice and gritted his teeth and said: "Little bastard, you know how much I want to kill you."
Did it kill you? It’s been years, no one has ever pissed me off and made me as angry as you do! So you’re done, and in the next thirty seconds, you’re going to experience the nightmare of your life, and you’re going to become...
…”
Whoosh!
A red sword light suddenly flashed across Wang Banshan's excited description, or when he imagined how humiliated Sun Ning would be by him.
It's as sudden as a young man's first erotic dream.
The next moment, the sharp blade of the long sword was already placed on Wang Banshan's neck, and traces of clear sword light were quietly dancing and flashing.
Sun Ning had no expression on his face and said angrily: "I really can't stand your nonsense, so let this battle end as soon as possible. Give up!" (To be continued)
