Chapter 22 Young and Romantic
Not only was Lu Yi confused, but even the disciples watching below were all frowning. Every male disciple looked at Lu Yi with gnashing teeth, full of envy and jealousy.
Damn it! Just being handsome and talented is enough?!
Why would anyone invite me to a competition? Even the referee was confused. The corner of his mouth twitched, and then he coughed dryly: "Don't talk about irrelevant things during the competition!"
Gu Mingxi's pretty face flushed, and she nodded repeatedly: "Oh oh..."
"Let's start the competition!" The deacon felt a little tired.
Gu Mingxi nodded repeatedly, looked at Lu Yi and said, "Junior brother, please give me some advice!"
"No, no, please give me more advice, senior sister!" Lu Yi also felt tired. Being handsome can be quite troublesome sometimes.
But it's not his fault.
Gu Mingxi also practiced swordsmanship. Holding a long sword, he rushed towards Lu Yi like a butterfly.
Lu Yi had a blank expression on his face. He compared in his mind and found that Gu Mingxi's strength was a little weaker than that of his two senior brothers Lu Ling and Wang Wulian. He should not be considered too strong in the ninth level of Qi training.
If Lu Yi wanted to, he could end the game with one move, but when he thought about how far-sighted this senior sister was, Lu Yi felt a little reluctant.
Moreover, he had to prepare for the next challenge of the top ten. After the top ten were selected, unlike the previous preliminaries, if the disciples behind were not convinced, they could choose to challenge the top ten disciples. He also wanted more people to challenge him so that he could get rewards for the competition.
It’s better to take it easy.
Lu Yi, with the long sword in his hand carrying a cloud of energy, went forward to meet the enemy.
…………
In the air, Gu Dufang and a group of elders all looked down at the competition below, with their attention mainly focused on Lu Yi's arena.
Dugu Fang smiled and said, "Is this the first time I've seen Lu Yi use a sword?"
Qi Feiyu smiled and said, "Yes, the sword energy turned into clouds. It is just as the rumors say. Lu Yi's Baiyun swordsmanship has reached the realm of returning to the true self."
An elder beside him stroked his white beard slightly. Seeing Lu Yi suppressing Gu Mingxi on the stage, he nodded and said, "The swordsmanship of the Return to the True Realm is indeed admirable. A Qi training level of the seventh level can suppress Gu Mingxi, who is at the ninth level. His strength is really extraordinary."
"Indeed, Lu Yi is only sixteen years old, but he has been able to practice the Baiyun Sword Technique to the Return to Truth realm. His comprehension is quite extraordinary, and his future potential is quite strong. Perhaps he can become a pillar of our Baiyun Sect."
"And the best part is that this little guy's parents are both from our Baiyun Sect."
"Yes, there is no need to worry about spies from other sects."
Dugu Fang looked at the battle below, his face gradually became more strange, and he said with a smile: "Lu Yi, this little guy... held back."
These words startled all the elders. They watched the fight on the ring carefully and felt a little confused.
"Great Elder...you said that this little guy Lu Yi was holding back?" Qi Feiyu couldn't believe it.
"Yes, the seventh level of Qi training can suppress the ninth level of Qi training. This is already quite strong. Are you still holding back?"
"Why didn't I see that this guy was holding back?"
Several elders were surprised and confused.
Dugu Fang smiled mysteriously: "I'm afraid Gu Mingxi can't force out the true strength of this little guy Lu Yi. The footwork he practices is the White Cloud Footwork, and I'm afraid he has also reached the realm of returning to the truth."
"What?!" Everyone was shocked and looked at Lu Yi in disbelief.
"Great Elder, is this true?!"
"You have cultivated both techniques to the state of returning to the true self? Your understanding... is much stronger than I imagined."
Seeing so many elders were shocked, Dugu Fang chuckled: "When I was young, I also practiced the White Cloud Steps, and I am quite knowledgeable about it. Although this little guy is hiding his skills, how can he hide it from my eyes?"
When the elders heard this, they no longer had any doubts and looked at Lu Yi with even greater surprise and flashing eyes.
At the age of sixteen, both of his techniques had reached the state of returning to the true nature... No, perhaps his level of comprehension of the techniques was not low either? Such a genius was extremely rare in the entire Baiyun Sect.
It is enough to make these outer sect elders and great monks in the Golden Core realm pay more attention to it.
An elder chuckled and said, "Lu Yi is a young and romantic guy. Gu Mingxi expressed his affection for him before. Does this guy know how to be gentle with women?"
This made many elders smile. Who among them had not been young? Instead, they began to think. It was normal for young people to like beautiful women. They had lived for hundreds of years, so who didn't have a few beautiful young people? Perhaps they could introduce some to Lu Yi.
…………
The fight on the ring lasted for a while. Lu Yi saw that Gu Mingxi's breath began to weaken, which was a sign that he had consumed a lot of spiritual energy. He saw that the time was almost up, so he changed his footwork and his long sword made a sound of breaking wind as it hit Gu Mingxi's long sword.
Clang! Gu Mingxi's sword was shaking, and Lu Yi took the opportunity to put the sword across Gu Mingxi's neck.
Gu Mingxi was panting heavily, his chest heaving, sweat appearing on his forehead, and he looked at Lu Yi shyly.
Lu Yi was speechless... What's wrong with this guy's eyes? He won't let him take responsibility, right?
He quickly retracted his sword and said with a smile, "Senior Sister Gu, I'm grateful for your kindness."
"Junior brother is really awesome. I lost." Gu Mingxi said.
Seeing that Gu Mingxi seemed to want to say something, the deacon beside him felt that something was wrong and quickly said, "Since the competition is over, let's go down."
Lu Yi smiled at Gu Mingxi and jumped down quickly.
Gu Mingxi saw Lu Yi and Wang Wulian standing together. He felt a little shy and didn't dare to go over to them, so he just walked aside.
After Gu Mingxi, the competition continued.
There are a total of 320 disciples participating in the ranking competition, with 32 people in each arena. After the first round, 16 people advance, and those who advance begin the second round of competition until the last two people compete for the first place in the arena.
In the second round, Lu Yi encountered a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi training. The cultivator admitted defeat immediately, and Lu Yi was relieved.
In the third round, Lu Yi met a senior brother who was at the ninth level of Qi training. His strength was similar to Gu Mingxi's, and he was certainly not a threat to Lu Yi. Lu Yi accepted the sparring task just like he did with Gu Mingxi. After that, he competed with him for a while before ending the fight and obtaining a perfect Qi Condensation Pill.
In the fourth round, Lu Yi's opponent was also a senior brother who was at the ninth level of Qi training. Just like before, Lu Yi once again obtained a perfect Qi Condensation Pill.
The fifth round is the final round, a battle for the top ten.
"The final round begins. Lu Yi, Mo Lingxi, go to the stage." The deacon's calm voice sounded.
Mo Lingxi moved and instantly appeared on the stage, looking at Lu Yi in the audience with a sharp gaze: "Brother Lu Yi, come up and fight! Let me see if you can make it into the top ten as you said!"
Lu Yi also jumped onto the stage and said cheerfully, "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely be in the top ten."
Two perfect Qi Condensing Pills. Adding the previous ones, it’s still possible to get five perfect Qi Condensing Pills in this round of competition.
When Mo Lingxi heard Lu Yi's words, a trace of anger appeared on his face, and he smiled and said, "Okay, okay, if that's the case, then let me see your strength!"
The disciples below, the elders and deacons in the sky were all amused when they saw this. They looked at the two of them curiously, wanting to see which disciple was the stronger.
