Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Martial Arts Controversy
The rules of the third round of competition do not restrict the use of dead blows.
But every genius who can reach the third round among hundreds of thousands of young talents is a treasure of all parties.
Therefore, when Luo Xiu slashed his sword towards Cheng Xuan's neck, the Martial King representative of the Formation Guild suddenly couldn't sit still.
"Buzz!"
A ray of earth-yellow light condensed into the shape of a shield and appeared behind Cheng Xuan.
Luo Xiu's black flame war sword slashed at it, and a powerful backlash instantly shattered the black flame war sword into powder.
Gazing at it, the khaki-colored shield was motionless, intertwined with formation lines and runes.
"Is this the method of the fifth-level formation master?" Luo Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a little surprised and shocked.
In theory, he is also at the level of a fifth-level formation master, but Luo Xiu is definitely not a fifth-level formation master.
A true fifth-level formation master has almost escaped the shackles of the formation flag. By controlling the vitality of heaven and earth with his spiritual consciousness, he can carve formation patterns and runes in the air, integrating offense and defense.
And if the fifth-level formation master uses formation flags to set up the formation, the power will be even more powerful. Among the Martial Kings of the same level, their combat power is astonishing.
Now that a fifth-level formation master had taken action, Luo Xiu retreated dozens of meters away and did not continue to take action.
"I surrender."
Cheng Xuan took a deep breath, turned pale, and spoke with reluctance.
There was a burst of applause from the audience, because this battle was so exciting. Luo Xiu showed his true tyrannical strength and defeated a fourth-level formation master with his true energy condensed into a sword.
The competition continued, and soon it was Yan Xiruo's turn.
The opponent she chose was a young martial arts cultivator ranked seventh at the third level of divine refining, named Wang Chuan.
Yan Xiruo walked onto the competition stage and immediately attracted everyone's attention. She was dressed in a white dress, holding a sword in her hand, and her clothes were fluttering, like a fairy cast into the world.
"Beauty, although you are not weak in strength, choosing me as your opponent is your biggest mistake."
Wang Chuan had a blue war spear slung across his back, his eyes as sharp as a knife.
Yan Xiruo did not speak, but just touched the sword Luo Xiu gave her with her hand. It seemed that with the companionship of this sword, she could not be afraid of any danger.
"Let's take action." There was indifference in a pair of beautiful eyes, glaring at the opponent coldly.
"boom!"
Wang Chuan snorted coldly, planted the soles of his feet on the ground, and roared out like a green dragon with his war spear, pressing towards Yan Xiruo with a domineering momentum.
"Qiang!"
Yan Xiruo's war sword was unsheathed, and the sword moved like flowing water. The stunning beauty concealed an unparalleled murderous intent.
In just a short moment, the two of them fought for dozens of rounds on the competition stage.
Wang Chuan retreated and stared at the battle gun in his hand with a gloomy expression. He saw a series of sword marks and cracks on it. He had suffered considerable damage during the fight.
"What a sharp sword!"
Many spectators below the competition stage also saw the clues.
Wang Chuan's war spear is definitely the best human-level warrior. Now it was damaged after dozens of rounds of fighting. Doesn't it mean that the war sword in Yan Xiruo's hand has reached the earth-level grade?
Many martial arts sects in the late stage of the God Refining have fiery eyes. After all, the Earth-level War Sword is the exclusive weapon of the strong ones above the Martial King. Many God-Refining Martial Arts sects use high-grade human-level swords. Only a few with backgrounds and backgrounds can use the top-level human-level swords.
With a powerful soldier in hand, your strength can definitely be increased by more than 20 to 30% out of thin air.
And the sword in Yan Xiruo's hand was the one that Luo Xiu had lent to her before. Luo Xiu was already so tyrannical without a fighting sword. Wouldn't it be even more powerful if he used an upper-level fighting sword again?
However, everyone did not know that the grade of this war sword was actually middle grade, not low grade.
It's just that Yan Xiruo's cultivation is not enough to activate the power of a middle-grade earth-level battle sword, so everyone preconceptionally thinks that it is a low-grade earth-level battle sword.
Although King Wu would be tempted by a low-grade war sword of the Earth level, he would not be greedy for it. But if it was a mid-grade war sword of the Earth level, it would be a different story. After all, it was the exclusive weapon of the powerful King Wu.
"Qiang! Qiang! Qiang!"
The weapons collided on the competition platform, sparks flew out, the shadows of guns and swords criss-crossed, tearing the air, and the real energy fluctuated violently.
In terms of true strength, Yan Xiruo is slightly inferior to Wang Chuan, but a mid-level earth-level battle sword can make up for the not-so-obvious gap.
"Clang!"
A crisp sound came from the competition platform. After countless collisions, Wang Chuan's war spear finally couldn't withstand the slashes of the mid-level war sword and broke with a click.
The moment the weapon broke, Wang Chuan's offensive also stopped instantly.
Yan Xiruo immediately seized this opportunity, and the sword light came in an instant, touching the opponent's eyebrows.
Wang Chuan's face suddenly became extremely frustrated, "If you hadn't used the Earth-level War Sword, I would never have lost to you."
If you lose this battle, you will lose your spot in the Xuanyou Secret Realm, and you will never have another chance in this life.
Beads of sweat appeared on Yan Xiruo's forehead. She was indeed weaker than Wang Chuan. If she hadn't cut off the opponent's weapon with her sword, she would have definitely lost.
Thinking about this, she felt even more grateful to Luo Xiu, and her beautiful eyes couldn't help but look towards Luo Xiu below.
However, the moment she shifted her gaze, a sharp light flashed in Wang Chuan's eyes.
"careful!"
Luo Xiu noticed this scene and immediately shouted a reminder.
Wang Chuan was seen pouring his true energy into his body, and stabbing Yan Xiruo's Dantian with the broken war spear with great ferocity.
If he were stabbed this time, even if he didn't die, his cultivation would be destroyed. The attack was cruel and vicious.
"Whoosh!"
Luo Xiu performed Chasing the Wind and Chasing the Moon, and his body was like a stream of light. He arrived on the competition stage in an instant, stretched out his hand and pulled Yan Xiruo behind him.
"Pfft!"
Wang Chuan's shot with all his strength stabbed Luo Xiu's body fiercely, causing blood to spurt out everywhere.
Although his physical body has reached the limit of an advanced combat body and is comparable to an ordinary peak combat body, it cannot withstand a blow from a top-level human-level warrior without being damaged.
"Go to hell!"
Ignoring the injuries on his body, Luo Xiu raised his hand and slashed, the black flame sword energy was ten feet long and fierce and domineering.
"Whizzing!"
At this moment, two more figures appeared on the martial arts stage. One was Yan Xiruo's master, Bai Huilian, the elder of the White Star Valley Martial King. The other was Wang Chuan's elder and an old man who was also a Martial King.
The old man from the Wang family reached out and grabbed it, crushing the black flame sword energy struck by Luo Xiu, and protected Wang Chuan behind him.
Bai Huilian also appeared next to Yan Xiruo.
"Luo Xiu, you are injured." Yan Xiruo watched worriedly as Luo Xiu's lower abdomen was pierced by a broken war spear.
"Don't worry, it's just a minor injury." Luo Xiu comforted her and immediately pulled out the broken war gun.
Fortunately, his physical body was strong, and the broken battle spear did not penetrate his Dantian, but only caused external injuries.
"Luo Xiu, you are so brave, you actually dare to intervene in the competition without permission!" Lei Weilong, the leader of Leiwu Sect, suddenly stood up from the viewing seat and shouted sternly.
"Such a martial arts competition is of great importance. How would it be done if I could interfere casually?" The elder of the Qingtian Sword Sect also shouted with an unkind expression.
"Prince Nanrong, this son interfered in the martial arts competition without permission and should be severely punished!" Many powerful martial kings from other forces also spoke out in agreement.
"Luo Xiu did it to save people!" Only President Shen Yuannan retorted coldly.
Prince Nanrong looked at Luo Xiu in the field and said in a deep voice: "Do you have anything to say?"
Facing the questions from many powerful King Wus, Luo Xiu remained calm, bowed his hands to Prince Nanrong and saluted, and said without humility, "This junior is taking action to save people."
"It's a joke. It doesn't matter life or death in a martial arts competition. If anyone can save someone, wouldn't the martial arts competition be a joke?" Lei Weilong said with a sneer.
"Then someone rescued Cheng Xuan before, so what should we do?" Luo Xiu retorted coldly.
As soon as these words came out, the fifth-level formation master from the formation masters guild suddenly frowned.
"You are just a junior, how can you be compared with the powerful King Wu?" Lei Weilong sneered disdainfully.
Luo Xiu ignored Lei Weilong's tit-for-tat provocation and just turned his attention to Prince Nanrong.
After all, everything in the battle for quotas is presided over by this powerful member of the Tianwu Kingdom's royal family.
Prince Nanrong frowned and said, "There is no rule without rules. Unless the parties involved in the competition admit defeat, no one is allowed to interfere. Master Luo Xiu and Master Zu Shao broke the rules by intervening in the competition. You two should spend 10,000 Yuan Qi each."
Stone, compensation shall be given to the parties involved.”
As he spoke, Prince Nanrong's gaze swept across the audience, "If anyone dares to intervene in the martial arts competition again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Anyone could hear Prince Nanrong's words and tell that he was already favoring Luo Xiu.
"Your Majesty, this..."
Lei Weilong was about to say something when he saw Prince Nanrong's cold eyes sweep over him, "Are you going to question my decision?"
Lei Weilong's face froze and he didn't dare to say a word, so he could only swallow the words that followed.
Without saying a word, Luo Xiu took out a storage ring and threw it to Wang Chuan across from him.
This Wang Chuan had clearly lost, yet he launched a sneak attack. If the situation had not forced him, Luo Xiu would not have chosen such a compromise.
"Master Zu Shao, do you have any objection to this king's decision?" Prince Nanrong looked at the fifth-level formation master sitting aside.
The old man named Zu Shao immediately took out a storage ring, flicked his finger, and the ring turned into a stream of light and flew towards Luo Xiu on the competition stage.
Immediately afterwards, Prince Nanrong spoke again: "I declare that the king will win this battle!"
No one present raised any objection to Prince Nanrong's decision. After all, although Yan Xiruo seemed to have won, Wang Chuan seized the opportunity for a sneak attack because of his distraction.
Wang Chuan's face showed joy. He did not expect that the final situation would turn out to be unexpected. Not only did he get a place in the Xuanyou Secret Realm, but he also received a compensation of 10,000 vitality stones.
"Master, I..." Yan Xiruo looked sad.
"Humph!" Bai Huilian glanced at Luo Xiu with a frosty face. After all, if it hadn't been for him, Yan Xiruo would not have been distracted during the competition, so that her opponent would take advantage of her.
However, she ignored that if Luo Xiu hadn't lent Yan Xiruo the Earth-level War Sword, it would have been impossible for Yan Xiruo to win Wang Chuan.
That's the way people's hearts are, and they will only shift the responsibility to others.
This matter was only a minor disturbance in the competition. Although Prince Nanrong deliberately favored Luo Xiu, his decision-making was not unfair.
The competition continued, and except for Xu Xue, who successfully challenged and obtained a quota, everyone else failed in the challenge.
The ten winners each received a token with the word "Tianwu" engraved on it. Before the Xuanyou Secret Realm opens a year later, with the Tianwu token, they can go to the capital and gain the qualification to enter the secret realm.
