Chapter 144 Promotion
While Nan Xiao was chatting with Qiao Yue in the audience, the battle between Lu Huai and two Changning Sect disciples on the stage entered a white-hot stage.
Lu Huai's movements were nimble, and his spirit sword gleamed with cold light. He swung the sword, and the wind blade wrapped in sword energy slashed towards the Changning Sect disciple on his left. The disciple blocked with his sword, and with a clang, sparks flew everywhere.
Another Changning Sect disciple took advantage of the situation and attacked Lu Huai from behind. Lu Huai caught sight of him from the corner of his eye, dodged him, and parried with his sword. For a moment, the three figures intertwined in a dazzling display.
Lu Huai took advantage of the gap between the moves of a Changning Sect disciple, and with the surge of spiritual power, he swung the spiritual sword in his hand. The strong wind carried the sword energy and repelled the disciple.
The other disciple mobilized his spiritual power with all his might, transforming it into a sword beam and charging towards Lu Huai. Lu Huai leaped up, flipped over, and swooped down, shattering the opponent's sword beam with one blow, knocking him down.
Finally, when the two Changning Sect disciples were lying on the ground and wanted to turn over and fight again, Lu Huai's sword was already pointing at their faces.
The winner has been decided.
The elders of Tianjian Sect immediately announced that Lu Huai was the winner.
Lu Huai put away his sword, clasped his fists, and said politely to the two of them, "Thank you."
The two sighed, clasped their fists in return, and then walked off the stage in disgrace. Two of them couldn't even beat one, so how could they still have the nerve to stay on stage?
As their game ended, the crowd in the stands burst into warm applause and cheers.
Some people whistled excitedly, while others shouted Lu Huai's name and discussed their game.
"Lu Huai's strength is not bad!"
"No wonder the Xiaoyao Sect didn't participate before, but came this year. It turns out they've been saving up a big move. A talisman cultivator Qiao Yue, an alchemy cultivator Nan Xiao, and a foundation-building Lu Huai... Incredible... This year's competition is just fantastic. Every sect has its prodigy."
"I heard that their eldest brother is also in the Nascent Soul stage, but I wonder how his strength compares to Su Yan and the others?"
"Of course he's not as good as me. If he had any strength, he wouldn't be completely unknown to me."
"Perhaps the Nascent Soul was temporarily built up using elixirs."
"That makes sense, but I want to refute it. Qiao Yue and Lu Huai got in through real ability. Don't bring Nan Xiao into the equation... She just got lucky. I've watched her matches, and the word 'strength' has nothing to do with her."
"agree……"
+1
“…………”
Nan Xiao: “…………”
Why are you still trying to pull others down? That's too much.
She gave them a look and everyone subconsciously fell silent.
At worst, they can just secretly tickle crickets behind your back.
…
After Lu Huai finished his work, he was about to go back and show off to his fellow brothers when Shen Chaochao suddenly stopped him.
"Ahuai..."
When Chen Chaozhao came over, Lu Huai subconsciously stayed three meters away from her.
Shen Chaochao's smile froze on his face.
Her eyes were red and filled with tears. She called out softly with a hurt look on her face: "Ahuai, the next game is my game. For the sake of our past friendship, can you give me some encouragement?"
If any other young man saw this scene, he would definitely feel soft-hearted and rush forward to comfort her softly.
But Lu Huai just glanced at her lightly without responding, and was even confused.
What does her competition have to do with him?
She needs encouragement to play a game, but she can choose not to play, and no one is forcing her.
Lu Huai didn't intend to pay attention to her and was about to leave, but he didn't expect Shen Chaochao to chase him directly. He was so scared that he ran eight feet away using his body skills.
That was a close call, I almost got dirty.
Then Lu Huai realized why he felt that he couldn't let Shen Chaochao get within three meters of him?
After thinking for a long time, he had no clue. Finally, he came up with a random conclusion: maybe he hated Shen Chaochao, so he felt sick when he saw her within three meters.
Shen Chaochao: “…………”
Is she some kind of monster?
Shen Chaochao clenched her fists fiercely in a place where no one could see. I wanted to just give you a little luck, but since you are so ungrateful, don't blame her for being cruel.
Just wait, no one who goes against her will have a good ending.
…
After Lu Huai's match, Nan Xiao and Qiao Yue turned their attention to Su Xun and Ye Wumian.
Therefore, I didn't pay attention to what happened just now.
Nan Xiao saw Lu Huai running back and said casually, "Was he chased by a dog?"
Lu Huai sat down: "It's not a dog, it's Shen Chaochao."
"I don't know what's going on in her head. She actually asked me to encourage her during her competition? She should be thankful she didn't meet me in the draw, otherwise I would have kept her from even making the top ten."
Nan Xiao was startled, looking anxious. She grabbed Lu Huai's arm and asked rapidly, "You mean, she came to see you?"
Then he asked anxiously, "Were you close to her? Was there any physical contact?"
This silly boy, I just reminded him last night, why doesn’t he learn his lesson at all?
Lu Huai didn't seem to understand Nan Xiao's question, but he still answered honestly: "Of course not, she didn't even touch the corner of my clothes."
Nan Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and then let him go.
Qiao Yue also heard something amiss and asked, "Junior Sister, is there something wrong with Shen Chaochao?"
Nan Xiao thought about it and decided to tell everyone what Gu An had said before. It is always good to be prepared.
She briefly explained the situation and finally warned, "We can't be sure yet. In short, it's always best for everyone to keep a distance from her."
Qiao Yue stood up immediately: "No, I also want to remind Shi Qing and the others."
Just go, without any hesitation.
Nan Xiao: “…………”
Senior sister’s initiative is beyond words.
…
Su Xun and Ye Wumian also finished the competition smoothly and both advanced successfully.
In the afternoon, there is a competition for the Nascent Soul to top ten.
There weren't many Nascent Soul disciples, only sixteen in total. It was also a 1v1 draw.
The winning disciple will advance directly, and the losing disciple will draw lots again to compete for the last two advancing spots.
The opponent Jiang Xia drew was a disciple from a small sect.
There was almost no suspense, and the game was won in three moves.
Before anyone could react, his match was already over.
Nan Xiao and Lu Huai immediately transformed into little fanboys and fangirls and shouted in unison: "Big Brother is so handsome."
People in the stands:
"Who just said that Jiang Xia has no reputation, is a piece of trash, and is made up of pills?"
"If he's trash? What am I? Worse than trash??"
"This is the first time I've seen someone scold me so rudely."
"That sword move he just threw out was so cool."
"My god, this is my new god."
"The one upstairs, you said yesterday that you only loved Su Yan in this life, but you changed your mind today?"
"You also said that, that was what I said yesterday, but today, I only like Jiang Xia."
“…………”
"Jiang Xia...Jiang Xia...Jiang Xia..."
Jiang Xia's name rang out in unison in the stands, attracting the attention of several other disciples.
Chen Wenxuan had just finished his match and walked up to Jiang Xia. The two exchanged glances. Chen Wenxuan was the first to say, "Congratulations."
Jiang Xia said calmly, "You too."
An invisible smoke of war filled the air between the two.
There was a strong desire to win in the eyes of both of them, and it seemed that they had already engaged in a battle of glances.
Chen Wenxuan raised the corner of his mouth, and stared at Jiang Xia, "I hope I can see you in the finals."
Jiang Xia lowered his eyes and chuckled. When he raised his eyes, a sharp gleam flashed in his eyes. "What a coincidence, this is what I wanted to tell you."
Perhaps both of them had this idea when they first met in Jiuyou Mountain.
