Chapter 117 Everyone is dumbfounded
Xiao Ju raised his hand and said, "Master, I want to defend the ring."
The Great Elder glanced at him and said, "Alright, who else wants to defend the ring?"
Gu Liyue felt that attacking the ring gave her more flexibility, and it would also be nice to be able to compete with Nie Hengzhou and the others.
Nie Hengzhou, You Tingchu and Fu Qingyun walked out and went up to a ring respectively. Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw them. It would be better for them to defend the ring like Xiao Ju did. At least their opponents were all new students. If they fought with Nie Hengzhou and the others, they would definitely be beaten badly. They imagined the beating they would get in the future.
Xiao Ju was also dumbfounded. If he had known this earlier, he would not have defended the challenge. In fact, he had wanted to compete with the senior brother for a long time, but the senior brother never gave him a chance.
The two people had no intersection at all in their respective arenas.
Now it seems that we can only fight with these new students.
He looked at the Great Elder and found that the Great Elder didn't even look at him.
The Great Elder watched the four of them standing on the stage and said, "Everyone line up and take turns. As long as there's room on the stage, you must go on stage. Everyone must go on stage at least once."
Everyone was even more dumbfounded. They had to line up to go on stage and couldn't even be lazy.
The first student chose Xiao Ju. He was glad that he didn’t know which kind-hearted person pushed him to the first place. He would know who it was later and he would have to thank him!
Gu Liyue was ranked fourth among the four arenas. As she wished, she was the first to fight Nie Hengzhou, who was also the one left over from the first four students.
She had previously learned from the Xianwenlu that among the Great Elder's disciples, Nie Hengzhou, while not the most accomplished, was the best in swordsmanship. Xiaoxuan's youthful voice rang out, "Golden Core Level 2."
After listening to Xiaoxuan's voice transmission, she felt that Nie Hengzhou's cultivation level was also increasing at an incredible speed! The advancement to the Golden Core Stage was not the same as that to the Foundation Establishment Stage!
Gu Liyue bowed and said, "Brother Nie, please teach me."
Nie Hengzhou finally heard the words "Senior Brother" and nodded contentedly. The small red mole at the corner of his left eye glowed a vibrant crimson, and a smile curved the corners of his mouth, softening his expression.
Then Nie Hengzhou's aura changed, and his whole body was like a sword drawn from its sheath, carrying a sharp sense of coldness.
The two men started fighting. The Qingxuan Sword Technique felt different in Nie Hengzhou's hands. It was sharper, and the sword energy was stronger. It was wrapped in powerful spiritual power, making a sound of breaking wind, and hit Gu Liyue directly.
Gu Liyue moved his feet slightly and quickly moved to avoid the vital points. [Wuhua] emitted a faint light and swung out with a sword.
clang——
The two swords collided, and Gu Liyue was so shocked that she took a step back with her left foot and pressed against the ground. She felt a strong pressure.
Sure enough, the four small realms between them were like a chasm.
His easy move almost made it impossible for him to catch it.
Although she knew the gap between the two of them, she didn't want to back down and just wanted to fight with all her might.
Nie Hengzhou thought that the first move would make Gu Liyue retreat, but he didn't expect that she didn't admit defeat, and he felt relieved.
So she adjusted her breath, quickly approached Nie Hengzhou, and used the killing move of "Supreme Sword Technique" to split mountains and overturn seas.
Gu Liyue used most of her spiritual power to strike hard. The students watching the fight below the stage were affected by the energy released by her sword and took a step back involuntarily.
Feng Qingyi watched Gu Liyue's moves carefully, noticing techniques that didn't belong to the Qingxuan Sword Technique. He felt that Gu Liyue's spiritual power was more powerful than that of cultivators of the same level, and he marveled at it.
Seeing Gu Liyue's sword energy coming at him fiercely, Nie Hengzhou changed his stance, took a stance, and used his sword to deflect it. Although it felt heavy, he still deflected it.
Seeing that her sword strike had failed and the spiritual energy in her dantian had been almost depleted, Gu Liyue decided she could only give it her all.
She pressed forward and made another close-range killing move, slashing down diagonally, but she didn't expect to be pressed down by Nie Hengzhou's raised sword.
She tried hard to move it, but it didn't budge.
Gu Liyue could only say, "I lost."
The entire fight lasted only three moves, and she felt that she was too weak. In the face of absolute strength, all her tricks were useless.
Nie Hengzhou nodded and watched Gu Liyue walk off the stage.
Feng Qingyi felt a little moved when he saw Gu Liyue's spiritual power was exhausted.
Xiahou Jingrong was waiting in line while watching the fight. He felt that Gu Liyue's move, "Splitting Mountains and Seas," was incredibly powerful, and he wondered if he could withstand it with his own strength. Then he saw her step down from the stage and ask, "Is this the end?"
Gu Liyue said: "Yes, the spiritual power is exhausted."
Wen Qinnuan said, "That move you just made was so powerful!"
Gu Liyue smiled.
"Look, Gu Liyue only took three moves!"
"Yeah, Uncle Nie is so terrifying."
"Let's go find Uncle You and Uncle Fu."
"I don't think it's easy to fight the two uncles either!"
The second student who was forced to enter Nie Hengzhou's arena also came down after a few moves, but he was secretly happy in his heart, because he had actually used more moves than Gu Liyue, and he had lasted five moves.
…
Gu Liyue stood under Nie Hengzhou's ring, watching him fight with other students. After watching three rounds, she felt something was not right.
I am at least the top of the list in this kendo assessment. Although the others have lost, they seem to be much more relaxed than me.
Is Senior Brother Nie suppressing his cultivation to the Foundation Establishment stage? She didn't feel this way when she came on stage just now! Is this a special treatment for being at the top of the list?
But it also made me see the gap between me and Nie Hengzhou, so it was worth it.
She couldn't fight anymore now, her spiritual power was exhausted, so she swallowed a qi-replenishing pill.
A student asked the student who had just stepped off the stage, "What happened? You're even stronger than Gu Liyue, yet it took you eight moves before Uncle Nie knocked you off the stage."
"I don't know either."
"Is it because Gu Liyue got first place by luck?"
"That's impossible. I think it's because Uncle Nie suppressed his cultivation when he was fighting just now." The student confessed the truth.
"..." The student, who had not been happy for a while, became depressed. He thought he could beat Gu Liyue just now!
The people in the audience were chattering, while the people on the stage were trying their best, trying to perform more than three moves before leaving the stage. It would be a bit of face if they could tell others about it.
At this time, Wen Qinnuan finished the fight and walked over to Gu Liyue: "I only took ten moves against Master Fu before I was kicked off the stage."
Gu Liyue said, "It's good to know the gap between you and the masters. You must practice hard and improve your cultivation."
They came to Xiao Ju's arena and saw that although he was fighting vigorously, his spiritual power was almost exhausted.
Then I heard the Great Elder say, "Okay, that's all for today's class."
Everyone dispersed happily after hearing this. When Xiao Ju came down from the stage, his hands and feet were shaking and he had a bitter face.
Wen Qinnuan said, "Did you enjoy the fight this time? Uncle Xiao, you're amazing."
Xiao Ju said weakly, "Stop being so sarcastic."
Xiahou Jingrong said pertinently, "To be able to fight this far is truly remarkable!"
Xiao Ju grinned.
They saw that the Great Elder had not left but was standing there looking at Gu Liyue. A few of them greeted him and left.
