Chapter 11: Battle against Zhao Shu
The opponent had already left the stage, and the disciple who was acting as the referee quickly shouted: "Ring number ten, Chen Li wins!"
He has already realized that Chen Li is definitely very strong.
If it wasn't strong, there wouldn't be such a deep dent on the wall over there.
Seeing that the other party had already left, Chen Li was not in the mood to continue paying attention to them. Instead, he found a place to sit down and rest.
At this moment, several figures gradually flew through the air, and then landed on a pavilion platform, sitting there to rest.
Outer sect elder.
Chen Li was not surprised. They were already among the top ten in the conference, so it was natural for these old guys to show up.
"It seems that there are some good candidates in this sect conference." An old man in a green robe stroked his beard, glanced around, and spoke.
"Elder Lei, even if you want to accept a disciple, I'm afraid you can't choose from these people. These top ten young people have already been taken away by the elders." Wu Qingren said this while standing next to Elder Lei.
Lei Yuntian waved his hand and said nothing. Instead, he looked at the No. 10 ring over there, "Is the ring over there empty?"
"It should be possible. If ten disciples are divided into five groups to compete, only five arenas can be used." Jiang Yunya, who was sitting nearby, said.
Wu Qingren's eyes were sharp, and he saw something was wrong. "If nothing unexpected happens, one group should have finished fighting."
"So fast?" The elders were surprised.
A disciple hurried up and said respectfully, "Elder."
Seeing this disciple, the elders understood that it seemed that the confrontation between one group had indeed ended.
"What's the situation on that set of arenas?" Hong Mingyang, who had been silent, suddenly spoke and asked the disciple who reported the situation.
The disciple replied respectfully, "My Lords, the one on ring number ten is the servant disciple Chen Li, who is fighting against the outer disciple Wang Qing. Wang Qing surrendered, and Chen Li won without a fight."
This sentence made the elders touch their chins and feel confused.
Wu Qingren stood up suddenly, and with too much strength he broke the table made of spiritual wood.
"You just said, Chen Li?" Wu Qingren stared at the disciple and asked.
The disciple nodded, because Wu Qingren's pressure made it difficult for him to breathe.
Lei Yuntian said calmly: "Elder Wu, you are a little too excited."
"We are also surprised that a menial disciple can make it into the top ten, but no one can say that there are no geniuses among ." Jiang Yunya took a sip of tea leisurely and said to Wu Qingren.
Wu Qingren naturally realized his own loss of composure, then he restrained his breath and sat in his seat, "You old guys have been in seclusion, you don't know where this Chen Li came from."
"Oh? Could he be a genius?" Jiang Yunya's eyes lit up and he asked Wu Qingren.
Wu Qingren sighed, "He was indeed a genius. In just three years, he achieved the sixth level of Qi training. But due to an unknown accident, he lost all his cultivation. I felt sorry for him, so I demoted him to a menial job. But I didn't expect that in just three months, he would reach this level."
Several elders gasped and looked at Wu Qingren in disbelief, "Are you serious?"
"Wu Qingren, you are not kidding me, can you dissipate all your cultivation within three months and recover to the sixth level of Qi training?" Lei Yuntian was a little restless, obviously he did not expect such a situation.
Wu Qingren said, "Do you think I'm kidding you?"
"Could it be that for some purpose, he hid his cultivation so that he could shine at this sect conference?" Jiang Yunya asked.
Wu Qingren shook his head. "Impossible. I personally tested him at the time. His meridians were all damaged. Not to mention recovering his cultivation, he couldn't even feel the spiritual energy or draw the energy into his body."
The elders were amazed. That meant that the other party not only cultivated himself back from such a desperate situation, but was even able to secure a top ten spot.
This can no longer be described as genius, this is simply a monster.
Several elders already knew about Chen Li's situation. He was just a menial disciple without a master.
Wu Qingren also saw what these people were thinking, but he did not stop them.
It all depends on what Chen Li chooses.
On the contrary, Hong Mingyang snorted coldly without saying a word.
As time passed, the five competitions were completely over.
Chen Li was not surprised to see Bai Xueyin among the top five.
She is a talented swordsman who has reached the seventh level of Qi training. Chen Li would be surprised if she had not reached this level.
In the next round of draws, Bai Xueyin had a bye, Chen Li faced off against Zhao Bin, and the other arena was a duel between two cultivators at the seventh level of Qi training.
Chen Li was a little surprised. He didn't expect to face Zhao Bin at this time.
It seems that he can't wait to take action.
Without much rest, Chen Li looked at the arena in front of him and jumped up.
"Junior Brother Chen, I didn't expect that we would meet each other so soon. Congratulations on your advancement to the top five." Zhao Bin said to Chen Li with a wry smile.
Chen Li grinned and said respectfully, "Brother Zhao, don't rush to congratulate me. I haven't won first place yet."
After these words were spoken, Zhao Bin's face turned a little ugly.
Isn't this obviously saying that he, Zhao Bin, is inferior to Chen Li, and that he wants to step on him to get to the top?
As the game began, Zhao Yun suddenly launched a killing move.
The long sword exuded a red aura, and there was an obscure spell on it.
Low-grade spiritual weapon!
The long swords possessed by the outer sect and menial disciples were just ordinary long swords made of common iron.
Spiritual weapons are weapons made from materials that possess spiritual energy.
Although the spiritual sword in Zhao Shu's hand was only of low grade, compared with the long sword made of ordinary iron in Chen Li's hand, it was like a strong man bullying an underage child.
The spirit sword attacked like a fire snake, approaching Chen Li's neck with a scorching breath.
Chen Li dodged hurriedly, but was injured in the end.
Looking at the scratch on his shoulder, Chen Li grinned at Zhao Bin. This guy really wanted to kill him.
Zhao Shu was also quite surprised that Chen Li avoided fatal injuries so easily and was only slightly injured. It seemed that this guy was hiding his abilities.
But that's all.
Although Chen Li's reaction and speed were amazing, he had never learned any orthodox martial arts and had no idea how to use spiritual energy.
Zhao Shu had learned a lot of skills, otherwise he would not have been able to maintain his position as an outer sect disciple.
Coupled with the strength of the ninth level of Qi training, this is completely crushing Chen Li.
So he immediately stabbed out with the sword again, and this time, with the blessing of spiritual energy, the speed of the sword became extremely fast.
Chen Li widened his eyes, quickly stepped back a few steps, took out his sword, and swung forward.
Ding!
The long swords collided with each other, Chen Li took a few steps back again, and Zhao Bin also took two steps back.
Chen Li looked at the broken sword in , and his expression turned a little ugly.
Ordinary iron is just ordinary iron after all, and it is simply garbage compared to the spiritual sword.
If he hadn't used his cleverness to neutralize the attack just now, the sword would not only have shattered, but Chen Li would have died instantly.
Zhao Bin was a little surprised that the ordinary iron in Chen Li's hand could actually deflect his spiritual sword. This guy was quite capable.
It seems that we can't waste any more time.
Zhao Bin took a deep breath, and the spiritual energy around his body gradually radiated outwards.
After the spirit sword sensed the spiritual energy around Zhao Bin, it began to connect with him and then transformed into a giant red python.
Aura takes shape!
This is an ability that can only be achieved during the Foundation Establishment Stage!
Chen Li was a little surprised. It seemed that Zhao Bin was really planning to kill him.
Although it was a spiritual energy transformation, Zhao Bin's strength was only at the ninth level of Qi training. He was only able to do it with the help of the spiritual sword. It was still far from the real spiritual energy transformation.
Even so, Chen Li was difficult to deal with.
Chen Li took a deep breath and his eyes gradually became sharp.
Zhao Bin has already used his ultimate move, how can I continue to hide?
If I keep hiding like this, I'm afraid I'll die.
Chen Li turned the spiritual energy around, raised the long sword in his right hand, balanced it with his shoulder, and gradually compressed the spiritual energy in the sword.
"Hmph, just trying to be mysterious!" Zhao Bin suddenly took a step forward, and the spiritual energy behind him transformed into a fire snake and bit towards Chen Li.
The overwhelming pressure caused Chen Li to break out in sweat on his forehead.
But he did not avoid it. Instead, he stared at the distance between himself and Zhao Bin.
Five meters, three meters, one meter!
To the distance.
Chen Li took a sudden step forward and thrust his sword forward.
boom!
The sword moves made rumbling sounds like thunder. Chen Li stood on the stage, maintaining his posture and breathing heavily.
This sword is the Thunder Sword among Lei Tian's swords, and it is the move that Chen Li least wants to use.
It's not because the sword moves are too complicated, nor because the spiritual energy required is huge, but because the long sword cannot withstand such terrible spiritual energy compression.
Click.
The sword gradually disintegrated and turned into a pile of useless iron pieces.
Chen Liben thought he had finished the fight, but an unhappy voice came from behind him: "Good boy, you are really good. I didn't expect you to have such a trick up your sleeve."
Zhao Shu's clothes were ragged, and a jade plate was shining. Although he looked disheveled, his body had not suffered much damage.
It looks like there are life-saving protective gear.
Zhao Bin really has a lot of treasures on him.
It was a pity that his sword was broken and he had no way to continue.
Does this mean I have to fall here?
Absolutely not.
Zhao Shu has sent people to bully me time and again. Isn't it an act of escape if he admits defeat now?
Chen Li took a deep breath and got into position. Now that he no longer had his sword, he could only fight with his fists.
Just as he was thinking this, he discovered that the long sword in Zhao Bin's hand had already attacked him. The spiritual swords were as dense as raindrops, making it impossible for Chen Li to attack at all. He could only dodge continuously.
Even if he tried to dodge, he couldn't avoid it completely, and some scars appeared on his body.
"What? Now that you don't have a sword, are you just going to hide like a mouse?" Zhao Bin stopped attacking and looked at Chen Li with indifference.
He wanted to torture Chen Li to death, but if he said he was unarmed, people would gossip .
If Chen Li surrendered at this point, he would not be able to achieve his goal.
He spoke again and said, "I'll give you a chance. You can go to the sidelines and borrow a sword."
The people around were very surprised when they heard this. They didn't expect that Zhao Bin would actually let Chen Li borrow a sword.
"As expected of you, you are the eldest senior brother. You are really generous."
"You are so obedient to the moral principles of the martial arts. You are truly a role model for our generation."
A group of people were talking there, all praising Zhao Bin.
Zhao Bin had a smile on his face. Not only could he continue to humiliate Chen Li, but he could also gain some fame. It simply couldn't be better.
Chen Li frowned. He was not familiar with these people in the audience at all. Let alone lending him a sword, they would not even lend him something useless.
Doing so would undoubtedly humiliate Chen Li.
The next moment, a streak of light suddenly flashed by, surprising everyone present.
