Volume 5: Seven Dao Sects Chapter 44 Lin Kui's Challenge
At this time, more and more third-sequence monks stepped onto the stage and launched a challenge.
In each large group, there are almost a dozen games going on at the same time.
Most of the time, the challenges of the third-sequence monks failed, and occasionally one or two third-sequence monks succeeded in counterattacking.
But even so, these monks who are trying to overcome their superiors will immediately become the soft nails that everyone will rush to challenge.
In every battle, someone is being eliminated.
Such a fierce battle had no effect on Lu Qingshan and other cultivators who were in the first sequence.
They just need to watch the battle quietly.
The first round of eliminations officially ended at dusk, and the pace was unimaginably fast.
At this time, there are only 1,000 contestants left out of 10,000.
"The second round of the elimination match begins now. The second-sequence cultivators will have one chance to challenge the first-sequence cultivators!" The desolate voice of Taiyin Sect Leader sounded again.
"When the elimination round is finally over, the one hundred cultivators who are still in the first sequence will enter the final competition of the Seven Realms, and the rest of the cultivators will all be eliminated!"
Ten thousand to one hundred, an exaggerated and cruel ratio.
…
The same situation occurred again.
Still no one chooses to act rashly and be the first to try something new.
After a stalemate, a cultivator finally stood up from the crowd, jumped onto the stage, stared at Lu Qingshan below the stage, and slowly said, "Daoyou Lu, how about we start it together?"
Lu Qingshan's gaze focused, and a gleam of light flashed across his eyes.
The person who challenged him was Lin Kui, who came from Qingzhou with him.
Lin Kui's ranking in the re-examination was in the middle, so he was placed in the third sequence.
However, relying on his own golden elixir perfect cultivation, Lin Kui became one of the few cultivators who successfully advanced from the third sequence to the second sequence.
Lu Qingshan smiled faintly, not afraid, jumped up and entered the ring, "Come on then."
The scene of Lin Kui challenging Lu Qingshan instantly attracted the attention of many monks who were watching the battle, including monks from the seven major Taoist sects.
After all, Lu Qingshan is one of the most influential figures in this Seven Realms Forum.
"This person must be one of the heroes who exposed Chang Geng's identity." Taiyin Sect Leader glanced at Lu Qingshan with a steady voice and a calm expression.
"Isn't that Master Taiyin hates him for this?" said Master Xuanji with a smile.
Taiyin Sect Master was unconcerned about the ridicule of Xuanji Great Venerable, and said in a deep voice: "How could it be? I know right from wrong. If Chang Geng had continued to lurk in our Huanling Sect, it is hard to say what kind of disaster . He has helped our Huanling Sect to eliminate the cancer growing in the sect. We in the Huanling Sect can't thank him enough, so how can we blame him without distinguishing right from wrong."
The Lord of Yishui Palace nodded and said, "I still trust the Taiyin Sect Leader..."
The Xuankong Saint Master glanced at Lu Qingshan, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, and asked in surprise: "This kid actually broke through to the late Jindan stage?"
After everyone sensed this point from the Suspended Saint Master, they all confirmed this fact.
Palace Master Lingye could not help but exclaimed: "Eighteen years old, in the late Jindan stage... Although this kid cannot take first place in the Seven Realms Dao Discussion Competition with Zhou Yuan present, but if we only talk about talent, this kid is still the most outstanding. Taibai, this time your Sword Sect has picked up another good seedling..."
Taibai Sword Master was very calm and said slowly: "On the path of sword cultivation, talent alone is not enough..."
Everyone was talking casually, but the master of Shuiyue Temple remained silent. Her beautiful eyes moved around, silently focusing her attention on Lu Qingshan.
Because of her beloved disciple , her attention to Lu Qingshan has already reached a higher level.
…
Seeing Lu Qingshan enter the ring, Lin Kui secretly clenched his fists, full of fighting spirit.
He and Lu Qingshan had been in contact since the first attempt at the Seven Realms Discussion on the Dao.
Lu Qingshan was the first in the preliminary exam, and he was the second, slightly behind.
At that time, he thought that Lu Qingshan defeated him because the magical powers he cultivated happened to be suitable for the assessment format of the preliminary examination, but he would definitely win back in the subsequent re-examination.
But he didn't expect that in the re-examination , not only did he fail to beat Lu Qingshan, but the gap between them was even getting wider and wider.
In the Spirit Sealing Tower, his final ranking was over four thousand.
However, Lu Qingshan, at the age of 18, ranked third and became a prominent figure in the Seven Realms Competition.
There are even many people saying that with Lu Qingshan's strength, he is very likely to make it into the top ten of the Seven Realms Competition.
Lin Kui witnessed Lu Qingshan's performance in the second half of the re-examination, and he knew in his heart that Lu Qingshan could achieve such a result because of his strong strength, not luck.
He also understood that even if he was unwilling to admit it in his heart, Lu Qingshan, who was in the middle stage of the Golden Core, was indeed better than himself in terms of hard power.
Lu Qingshan's comprehension of the artistic conception of the Unity Realm can be said to be the best among the 500,000 cultivators in the seven realms. He has no choice but to accept it.
But the reason why he chose to challenge Lu Qingshan was not because he thought Lu Qingshan was weak, but it was purely his inner obsession that drove him to make this decision.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, please don’t hold back. Let me see how big the gap is between me and the top cultivators.” Lin Kui bowed and requested.
He just wanted to see how big the gap was between him and Lu Qingshan.
Even if I know I will lose, I am not afraid...
"As you wish!" Lu Qingshan smiled slightly after hearing Lin Kui's words.
"The wind is blowing up the sand!" The next moment, Lin Kui shouted loudly, and the sleeves of his clothes made a whistling sound. Around him, a violent tornado was brewing, mixed with fine yellow sand.
This is a combination of wind magic and earth magic.
Lin Kui's battle strategy is very clear. Among all the major cultivation schools, if you really look into it in detail, sword cultivators actually have a certain restraint over magic cultivators.
The reason is that the sword cultivator's flying sword is too fast and the frequency is too high. Under such interference, the magic cultivator often has no time to concentrate and cannot cast spells.
So the first spell he cast was a large spell that could control the situation.
Under the influence of the raging sand, Lu Qingshan's flying sword trajectory would inevitably be disturbed, and he could also take advantage of the terrain and cast spell bombing unscrupulously.
His idea was not wrong, but the reality was extremely cruel.
Before his technique was fully formed, Lu Qingshan's flying sword had already flown out, and the sharp sword light covered his head at an unimaginable speed...
Lin Kui was shocked!
Too fast, too fast!
At the beginning, there was obviously a huge distance between him and Lu Qingshan.
With his mastery of magic, he can cast this control spell in just a moment. No matter how you think about it, it is a flawless idea.
But the speed of Lu Qingshan's flying sword was such that it crossed the long distance and arrived in front of him in an almost impossible moment.
The sound of faint thunder echoed in the void.
The head of Shuiyue Temple, who was watching the battle in the sky, was a little dazed when he saw this scene. He murmured, "It's only a hair's breadth away from the sound of sword explosion and thunder..."
The second level of the flying sword is called Sword Explosion Thunder Sound, and the limit is that the speed of the flying sword exceeds twenty times the speed of sound.
Normally, only Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators can reach this level.
In other words, once the flying sword breaks through to the realm of sword blasting thunder sound, the lethality of the flying sword will have reached the Nascent Soul level.
The speed of the flying sword displayed by Lu Qingshan at this time was already infinitely close to twenty times the speed of sound.
This is why wherever the Peach Blossom Sword passes, there will be a faint sound of thunder echoing.
