Under the stage, Zhang Jiangshan's eyes were wide open. His cultivation level was too low, even worse than Gu Chengyang's. He couldn't even touch the edge of the sword. What he had seen before was that Liang Qiufeng and Xue Yixuan were dancing on the stage.
The swords they wielded were just dazzling and had nothing to do with the expected duel. Even now, it is still unclear who will win and who will lose.
"Qiu Feng, who comes first?"
Liang Qiufeng smiled calmly: "What do you think? I came down first, so of course I lose."
Admit it honestly.
Zhang Jiangshan said "Ah" and was surprised: "But don't you obviously still have a lot of tricks that you haven't used yet?"
In Fatty's impression, Liang Qiufeng had always been persevering and performing unexpectedly when he advanced all the way. Often when others thought he would lose, he would stage a desperate counterattack and turn defeat into victory. But when it came to the most important final, he downplayed it.
He juggled his sword for a while, then came down and said he lost.
That's not what happened at all.
Liang Qiufeng glanced at Xue Yixuan, who was still on the stage, and said slowly: "I really can't beat her now..."
Regardless of their cultivation level or skill attainments, there is a certain gap between them. Maybe they can try their best to inflict trauma on the other party, but the final failure is still inevitable.
But why bother?
Besides, Xue Yixuan offered to compete only on swordsmanship, not on strength, but it was just a good show.
Failure is not as difficult to accept as imagined...
A smile appeared at the corner of Liang Qiufeng's mouth, as if an invisible stone had been put down in his heart and he became relaxed - for many years, he has been like a bowstring that is always tightened, spurring him to move forward. However, sometimes going too far is not enough, and inadvertently it becomes the opposite.
Cause some negative effects and make the mood appear fragile.
At this point, this year's Huaizuofu Junxiu Competition has come to an end, and the top three winners are Xue Yixuan, Liang Qiufeng, and Yang Wuchi.
If nothing else goes wrong, the three of them will represent Huaizuo Mansion and go to the capital of the Tang Dynasty to participate in a national-level elite competition.
The date and itinerary have also been set, three months from now.
The rankings were determined, and then came a series of awards. Hosted by the prefect, all the top fifty talents except for the third place would receive an award, but the resource rewards they could receive were not at all the same as the top three.
Compare.
Among the top three, Xue Yixuan, who placed first, received a bottle of the Five Apertures Divine Pill, a total of ten pills, and a top-quality treasure. She chose a set of Splendid Mountain and River Clothes, which belong to the soft armor category and are woven with nine kinds of fine silk materials.
It is made of soft, light as feathers.
Weapons and equipment, among which defensive items are more rare, their value is above the same level.
As for the Five Apertures Huishen Pill, it is even more extraordinary. The five orifices are prescribed in the elixir, and it is of average or high quality. Taking this Huishen Pill can warm and nourish the soul and make it stronger, and the effect is quite remarkable.
When such an elixir is placed on the market, it is often ranked last in the auction and becomes the finale, and the price is extremely high.
The reward is ten pills at a time, which makes people jealous.
The reward for the second place is slightly lower, including seven magic elixirs and a top-quality treasure, but there is no right to choose and it is a fixed long sword.
The sword is named "Hongguang" and is four feet and two inches long. It is considered a real long sword. The scabbard is made of three-tailed crocodile skin, which is tough and exquisite.
After getting the sword, he unsheathed it and took a look, revealing its sharp edge. He saw that the entire blade was engraved with countless runes, like water overflowing, showing a sense of mystery.
Nice sword.
With a bang, he pushed the sword blade back into its sheath.
Liang Qiufeng had other plans in mind. He already had Kai Feng's Sword of Shangqing and had no need for this "Hongguang", so he could give it away.
The Huishen Pill is a useful thing. Recently, he has been painstakingly refining the alien sword intent. Although he has "Sword Heart and Carved Dragon" to suppress Niwan Palace, he still often feels powerless and mentally exhausted. Huishen
After the elixir, the dilemma will be solved. When refining the sword's will, taking the elixir to assist can greatly improve the endurance.
Persistence will lead to further success.
Holding the seven divine pills, Liang Qiufeng's mind came up with the prototype of his future training plan.
In the end, Yang Wuchi's reward was reduced to another level. He only got five magic pills, and his equipment became a top-grade treasure, but he had the right to choose. He pondered for a moment in the list given, and finally chose the same
A piece of armor.
After the competition was over and all the rewards were received, the prefect announced angrily that this handsome competition was over, and everyone began to disperse.
The dust settled and everyone dispersed. Only the top three candidates were specially stayed by the prefect and called to the VIP table to speak.
At this time, the number of people at the VIP table was sparse, and many representatives of sect forces had left early, including the heads of the three major families. Obviously, they were not happy to see Liangqiu Feng's proud scene. As for playing tricks, let it go
Small tactics such as harsh words are unnecessary for their status, and they appear to be out of character.
But Yang Wuxing, the president of Zhenyuan Trading Company, was there. He was Yang Shuanglan's father.
When Liang Qiufeng walked up, he felt two special eyes. When he looked around, he met Yang Wuxing's eyes.
"There is indeed something to be said for this boy being able to win second place. Lan'er's words are not false...but he still lacks a strong background. Qianlong is short of water..."
Yang Shuanglan's marriage has been decided long ago, and according to Mo Xiongyu's request, it will be held tomorrow. Therefore, even if Liang Qiufeng performs well, it is impossible for Yang Wuxing to change his mind.
The magistrate left the top three Junxiu behind just to say some words of encouragement and talk about the national elite competition in three months' time.
This matter was related to the political performance of the Huaizuo government, so he naturally wanted to point out something.
Among the various prefectures in the Tang Dynasty, the strength of Huaizuo Prefecture has always been in the middle and lower reaches, relatively lagging behind. The prefect always dreams about which new geniuses will emerge to rectify his reputation. Unfortunately, reality is always cruel, and true geniuses
How could it be so easy to cultivate?
Although new faces such as Liang Qiufeng and Zhou Youhuai appeared in this handsome competition, their strength was not outstanding. Zhou Youhuai could not enter the top three, and Liang Qiufeng was defeated by Xue Yixuan without any suspense. With such strength, he participated in the dynasty elite.
Competition, results are worrying.
Worry is worry, words of encouragement are indispensable.
After a quarter of an hour, all that needed to be said was said, and then the three of them were signaled to disperse.
Watching Liang Qiufeng walk away, the prefect refused to say some of his original words. This was all because he saw that Jiuqiu had no intention of absorbing Liang Qiufeng, which meant that the Yulong Sect did not take a fancy to this son.
The prefect didn't know why Jiuqiu changed his mind, but this change also changed many things that were originally planned.
"That's all. Although he is young, he is still the leader of a sect after all. He must already know many things in his mind. This time, Fang Xianzhen will be able to overcome the calamity."
Go down to Liangqiu Peak and meet up with Zhang Jiangshan and Gu Chengyang.
The fat man asked: "Qiu Feng, when will we return to the sect?"
Liang Qiufeng was a little absent-minded and replied casually: "There's no rush, let's go back to the inn to meet Uncle Taishi and the others first. If nothing else, it won't be that easy for us to go back."
Zhang Jiangshan was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood, and couldn't help but clenched his fists with both hands. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
