[Chapter 125] The Heroine’s Halo
[Chapter 125] The Heroine’s Halo
Before the competition started, Qi Jinggeng thought winning the competition would be an easy thing. It was not until he was hit in the chest that he realized he had underestimated the enemy. The useless person in everyone's eyes not only dodged his attack easily, but also gave him a blow in return.
He took five or six steps back before he could steady himself.
This sudden change not only shocked Qi Jinggeng, but also stunned everyone watching the competition.
"Was my eyes dazzled just now? I actually saw that good-for-nothing Lu Yueyao launch a spiritual attack."
"I seem to be as dazzled as you."
"Impossible! Lu Yueyao is just a useless person. She can't even sense spiritual energy. How can she launch a spiritual attack?"
"Could it be that Qi Jinggeng directed and acted out a play himself just to win the beauty's smile?"
"Qi Jinggeng wouldn't be so inconsiderate, right? This is a competition among noble families."
"I think Qi Jinggeng seems to be shocked as well."
"And didn't you see how quickly Lu Yueyao dodged the attack just now?"
"So Lu Yueyao could have practiced long ago."
"Then didn't the Lu family deliberately conceal the fact that Lu Yueyao could practice?"
Everyone thought of this and turned their eyes to where the Lu family was sitting.
In fact, none of the Lu family members present knew that Lu Yueyao could practice cultivation, and they all had confused expressions on their faces.
Looking at the pretty figure on the stage, Ye Xuan's eyes were full of shock, and he murmured unconsciously: "Impossible, impossible, how is this possible..."
On the ring.
The smile on Qi Jinggeng's face did not change at all, but the nonchalant air he exuded was restrained.
With just one move, he knew that if he didn't take this competition seriously, he would probably lose to the "waste" that everyone thought he was.
"The Lu family's sister is really a hidden talent."
Lu Yueyao smiled calmly and said, "I just follow the crowd. Over the years, I have never told anyone that I can't practice."
The first half of the sentence made Qi Jinggeng choke for a moment, but the second half made him ask the question that everyone was thinking: "Since you can practice, why didn't you clarify when everyone said you were useless?"
"I don't have enough time to practice every day."
Lu Yueyao's words not only stated that she was an ambitious cultivator, but also highlighted those who gossiped and did not focus on cultivation.
The four elders from Taihua Sect and Tianyi Sect nodded one after another, obviously very satisfied with her.
The elders of each family wish that such an ambitious younger generation were their own.
Qi Jinggeng felt that Lu Yueyao was hinting at him. Every time he went into seclusion for a period of time, he would relax for a few days.
"When did you start practicing?"
"Don't we all start practicing after our spiritual roots are detected at the age of six?" Lu Yueyao asked back.
Having lived two lives, Lu Yueyao knows that human hearts cannot stand the test.
If everyone knew that she had only been practicing for a year, she would have reached her current level of cultivation. Then she will definitely be in trouble in the future, and her family may not be able to protect her. Maybe someone in the family would force her to tell her how to quickly improve her cultivation.
"I want to ask you..."
Before Qi Jinggeng finished speaking, the referee's voice rang out: "If you want to chat, go to the ring."
"I'm deeply sorry for wasting everyone's time." Lu Yueyao bowed to everyone around her, then said to Qi Jinggeng, "Master Qi, let's talk another day. Let's compete first."
"good."
Qi Jinggeng was in high spirits and prepared to take the upcoming competition seriously.
The spiritual power in Lu Yueyao's body surged, and she took a step forward. The whole person seemed to turn into a gust of breeze and disappeared on the spot.
Seeing this, Qi Jinggen responded quickly, unfolding his folding fan, which turned into a barrier in front of him.
The next moment, a blue attack hit the barrier.
"Bang~"
Lu Yueyao showed up and took two steps back.
And Qi Jinggeng stood firmly in place.
With this move, it seemed that Qi Jinggeng won, but in fact, Lu Yueyao did not use her full strength at all.
Their eyes met, Lu Yueyao smiled slightly, and quickly formed seals with her hands. In an instant, blue light gathered in front of her, and she pointed forward with her hand: "Go."
A blue attack rushed towards Qi Jinggeng.
Qi Jinggeng flashed and attacked Lu Yueyao as well.
For a moment, the ring was filled with flashing light, and the two figures intertwined, fighting fiercely like a storm.
The people watching the competition were so focused on what was happening on the stage that they forgot to breathe for a moment.
Ye Xuan looked at the two people fighting fiercely on the stage with a complicated expression on his face. He was surprised at Lu Yueyao's strength, but also felt a kind of barely perceptible joy.
He once thought that Lu Yueyao was a useless person who was incapable of cultivation, and wanted to cancel the marriage countless times. However, as soon as he mentioned the cancellation of the engagement to his father, he was scolded by his father.
Now he is extremely grateful that his father did not agree to cancel the engagement.
The fight on the ring ended quickly.
Qi Jinggeng fell to the ground and spat out blood.
"Pfft~ I give up."
"Lu Yueyao wins, plus one point."
The referee's voice brought everyone back to their senses. The former loser turned out to be so powerful, which completely overturned their previous perception of Lu Yueyao. Their previous contempt and prejudice towards Lu Yueyao were completely shattered at this moment.
Looking at the dazzling woman on the ring, Ye Xuan couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart, as if he was the one who won the competition.
Nangong Chenyu seemed to see the aura of the heroine on Lu Yueyao. Those who originally did not take Lu Yueyao seriously, at this moment, the way they looked at Lu Yueyao began to change.
Ye Yishen at the side suddenly stretched out his hand to block Nangong Chenyu's sight and said in a voice transmission: [Don't look, there is something strange about the female cultivator on the stage. 】
Nangong Chenyu: [……]
Originally, he was worried that Ye Yisheng would be influenced by Lu Yueyao's aura as the protagonist. Now it seems that he has no need to worry at all.
The aura of the protagonist exuded by the protagonist in the storybook "The Time Traveling Peerless Female Fairy" only affects the plot characters in the storybook. But Ye Yishen is not in the storybook "The Time Traveler and the Peerless Female Fairy".
Seeing Nangong Chenyu turn his head towards him, Ye Yisheng withdrew his hand: "Look at the people around you."
Nangong Chenyu subconsciously released his spiritual sense to take a look. The male cultivator looked at Lu Yueyao with admiration, while the female cultivator looked at Lu Yueyao with jealousy.
It is worthy of the definition of a protagonist.
"How is it?" Ye Yisheng asked in a voice transmission: [Is there anything strange about that female cultivator? 】
Nangong Chenyu held his forehead with his hand. How should he explain the protagonist’s halo?
Without waiting for Nangong Chenyu to answer, Ye Yishen asked again: [I heard from people around us that she is Ye Xuan’s fiancée. Will she affect our plan? 】
Nangong Chenyu reached out and held Ye Yishen's hand, "There is indeed something strange about her, but it can't affect us. As for the fact that she is Ye Xuan's fiancée, there is no need to worry at all. With Ye Xuan's looks, do you think she would be interested in him? 】
【wrong! Nangong Chenyu suddenly thought of something: Ye Xuan is not a member of the Ye family. If you really think about it, Ye Xuan actually took over your identity. That……】
Nangong Chenyu's gaze passed through the crowd and fell on Lu Yueyao. If Lu Yueyao dared to say that she liked Ye Yisheng, he wouldn't mind digging out her eyes.
As for life, of course you have to keep it to get the most out of it.
Ye Yishen naturally also thought of the engagement between the Ye family and the Lu family. If he reveals Ye Mingze's identity later, the engagement won't be blamed on him, right?
He and Nangong Chenyu are Taoist couples. As long as the Ye family is normal, the engagement partners of the Ye and Lu families should be replaced with other people.
However, in order to prevent this situation from happening, when he returned to the Ye family, he had to emphasize several times that Nangong Chenyu was his Taoist partner.
Before the two could continue chatting, they heard that one of the parties in the next competition was Ye Xuan.
The person fighting against Ye Xuan was Yu Tiankui from the Yu family.
Having just witnessed the elegance of his fiancée, Ye Xuan decided to show off his talents. He walked onto the stage with full confidence and bowed to Yu Tiankui like a gentleman.
"Brother Tiankui, please show mercy."
Yu Tiankui couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He had met Ye Xuan several times, but they had never spoken a word. Suddenly he heard the other person calling him "Brother Tiankui". If you didn't know, you would think they were very familiar with each other.
"please."
Thinking that the opponent had asked him to show mercy, he fought with 70% of his strength.
In the first move, Yu Tiankui used the Yu family martial arts. Ye Xuan used the Tianyi Sect's palm technique.
"Bang~"
The two attacks collided, a wave of air swept away, and both men retreated a few steps.
Both of them had slightly messy clothes and hairstyles.
Usually the first move is a test, and Yu Tiankui expected a draw.
However, Ye Xuan's expression was very ugly. He had used 100% of his strength in that move just now, and a draw was obviously not what he wanted.
As soon as he stood firm, he launched a second attack towards Yu Tiankui.
A huge hand condensed by spiritual energy pressed down on Yu Tiankui like a mountain. Yu Tiankui closed his eyes and quickly formed seals with his hands. Soon, a light golden light emanated from his whole body.
Seeing that the huge spiritual hand was about to fall on Yu Tiankui, but he stood there motionless, everyone watching was worried for him.
At this moment, the spiritual light on his body suddenly turned into a pair of scissors, which directly cut off the big hand that was pressing down.
The big hand then disappeared, but the scissors did not disappear. Instead, they cut towards Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan quickly stepped back.
The scissors suddenly turned into a spear and suddenly pierced into Ye Xuan's body. Ye Xuan was nailed to the ring by the spear, and he was completely dazed.
"Yu Tiankui wins, plus one point."
Ye Xuan didn't come back to his senses until the referee announced the result.
He lost.
He actually lost!
After just two moves, he lost!
Stepping off the ring, he seemed to feel that everyone was looking at him with mocking eyes. But when he looked up at the people around him, he found that everyone's eyes were on the ring.
A new round of competition begins on the ring.
The winning cultivators will participate in the second or third round of competition until only five winners are left, and the Qi Refining Stage competition will be over.
What no one expected was that one of the five remaining people was actually Lu Yueyao.
The former good-for-nothing became famous in one battle.
From then on, Lu Yueyao had completely changed in everyone's eyes. With the halo of the protagonist, her performance today made many people feel good about her.
