Chapter 153 Another First
Finally, Lu Huai came onto the stage with great momentum, looking as excited as if he had taken drugs.
Nan Xiao returned to the Xiaoyao Sect's platform, and Qiao Yue asked curiously, "Junior Sister, what did you say to Junior Brother?"
Looks abnormally excited.
Nan Xiao pulled a big smile from the corner of his mouth, rubbed his index finger and thumb together, and said with a smile: "Hehe, I just used my money ability."
Qiao Yue: “…”
Okay, I guess I understand.
Lu Huai was very happy at first, but when he saw Chen Chaochao, the smile on his face disappeared instantly.
Elder Qian finished speaking and began.
Shen Chaochao was about to speak to distract Lu Huai, but Lu Huai didn't give her a chance and quickly swung the spirit sword in his hand, sending several sharp sword energies towards Shen Chaochao.
Although Shen Chaochao has reached the peak of the foundation building stage, she is very clear about where this strength comes from. Even if she forces herself to increase her cultivation level, it will be in vain if her own abilities cannot keep up.
She barely dodged Lu Huai's sword energy, and her hair and clothes were injured by Lu Huai's sword energy, leaving many marks.
She gritted her teeth and squeezed out a few words: "Ahuai, are you really so cruel? Can't we stop and have a good talk?"
It would have been fine if she didn't speak, but as soon as she spoke, Lu Huai's sword moves became faster.
Now, Shen Chaochao had no time to talk. He couldn't even dodge the sword energy. His whole body was covered with wounds, his hair was disheveled, and his clothes were dirty and torn. He looked miserable.
Everyone was stunned by her action.
Can you believe it? A peak Foundation Establishment cultivator was being beaten by a late Foundation Establishment cultivator, without even the ability to fight back?
The disciples of Tianjian Sect looked at each other in disbelief.
It was obvious that when they were practicing sparring with the little senior sister, the little senior sister's sword moves and body movements were first-rate, but now it seems like she has no skills at all.
Su Yan and Song Hui also frowned and looked confused. During this period, the two of them took turns teaching her sword moves and watched her swordsmanship improve by leaps and bounds, at one point surpassing her fourth junior sister, but now it seems that this is not the case.
What went wrong?
The two couldn't figure it out.
Only Gu An, who was standing aside, was not surprised.
Shen Chaochao's cultivation could be said to have been stolen from someone else. Since it was stolen, how could he possibly be proficient? Nan Xiao knew about this and must have come up with some countermeasure, preventing Shen Chaochao from using that strange ability.
Without the help of his strange abilities, Shen Chaochao's true colors were revealed, so he was naturally no match for Lu Huai.
On the platform
Xiao Yanqing, who always had a calm expression, also frowned slightly. His eyes were deep, staring at Shen Chaochao with confusion.
Meanwhile, the Huanhai Sect Master, feeling he was up to something, whispered in Xiao Yanqing's ear, "Sect Master Xiao, I heard that at the disciple recruitment conference that year, your sect gave up Lu Huai and Nan Xiao just for Chen Chaochao. What are your thoughts now?"
The leader of the Spirit Beast Sect quietly moved away from him, fearing that he would be accidentally injured if a fight broke out.
The Four Phases Sect Leader was still the good guy, trying to smooth things over: "Why are you saying all this? It's all in the past. Sect Leader Xiao, don't mind. Let's watch the game, watch the game."
He really wants to give the leader of Huanhai Sect two hammers, so let's be quiet for a while, okay?
Xiao Yanqing glanced at him calmly, his face expressionless, and said, "Master Huanhai seems to enjoy talking about the past?"
"After the competition, we can have a long chat all night long and talk about how I challenged several sects by myself. What do you think?"
Master of Huanhai: “…”
Damn, I forgot that although this guy looks righteous, he actually holds a grudge.
He laughed wryly and said, "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. Night is the time for rest. How can I take up Sect Leader Xiao's rest time?"
Sect Master Chang Ning sneered, "Serves you right."
········
Shen Chaochao had a lot of external injuries on his body. Although he was clearly no match for the opponent, he refused to admit defeat.
She has been looking for an opportunity to get close to Lu Huai. As long as she can touch him, she can turn defeat into victory, and she will still be the first.
At this moment, she no longer cared about anything else. Her mind was filled with only one thought: to win.
Her eyes were no longer innocent, but full of hostility. She took out various magical weapons from her storage ring and hit Lu Huai with them. She used the acceleration talisman to take the opportunity to get close to Lu Huai and touch him.
Shen Chaochao's action undoubtedly aroused public anger.
Someone said, "The sword cultivation competition has clear rules. Magical instruments and talismans cannot be used during the competition."
"She's blatantly cheating."
"The Heavenly Sword Sect's direct disciple is so desperate to win that he's even lost all respect."
"Damn, I'm still optimistic about her. What a joke."
“..........”
The disciples of Tianjian Sect turned pale and ugly after hearing what the passersby said, but with the facts in front of them, they didn't know how to refute it.
Nan Xiao sat on the chair, swinging his short legs leisurely, and asked curiously, "What's the point of being first? Shen Chaochao is actually willing to incur public wrath just to win? He's not even pretending anymore?"
Qiao Yue turned her head and looked at her: "Junior Sister, what did you say just now?"
"It's okay, I said to myself, let's continue watching."
......
Lu Huai looked calm, as if he had been prepared. He waved the spirit sword in his hand, blocking the attacks of the magic weapon one by one. Finally, when Shen Chaochao approached, his figure flashed, disappeared on the spot, and appeared three meters behind her. He quickly shot out multiple sword energies, approaching Shen Chaochao. By the time Shen Chaochao reacted, it was too late. In order to avoid these sword energies, she could only hide under the stage, which also meant that she lost.
Shen Chaochao fell to the ground helplessly, his eyes full of unwillingness. It was so close, so close...
Elder Qian looked at her and shook his head in disappointment. He called two disciples to help Shen Chaochao away, then announced, "Lu Huaisheng."
He then continued, "Chen Chaochao of the Tianjian Sect used magical instruments and talismans during the competition, openly violating the rules and affecting the fairness of the competition. His ranking will be invalidated and will be filled by the next disciple."
As soon as these words were spoken, the anger in everyone's hearts gradually subsided.
Soon, the final between Lu Huai and Li Buyan began.
The two young men faced each other, both gripping the hilts of their swords tightly. The atmosphere was extremely tense.
Lu Huai's eyes changed, his figure flashed, and he was the first to strike. His sword shadows were so thick that it was difficult to distinguish the real from the fake. Li Buyan's sword was extremely powerful, and each strike carried the force of breaking the wind.
The two of them were evenly matched.
The hearts of the people in the stands were unconsciously hanging in the air.
The two men fought for countless rounds, and both had many external injuries on their bodies, but they did not show any sign of fatigue. Instead, they became more courageous and ferocious as the fight went on.
Just when everyone thought they would still be a while away from finishing the match, Lu Huai suddenly pulled off a feint, deceiving Li Buyan. His speed suddenly increased, his figure moving swiftly around Li Buyan, his spirit sword following him like a shadow. Despite Li Buyan's powerful swordsmanship, he struggled to keep up with Lu Huai's pace.
After a moment, Lu Huai found a flaw and broke through Li Buyan's defense with a sword. He pointed the sword at Li Buyan's heart, and the outcome was decided immediately.
Li Buyan had no choice but to put away his sword and admit defeat.
He sighed, "You win."
