Chapter 139: The Battle of Beginning of Autumn

"Chu He is back, and his aura is very strong."

“I heard that he was personally taught by Chu Xian, a disciple of Xuanyuan Immortal Mansion. The Chu family’s background is indeed not to be underestimated…”

"How strong is very strong? Is he as strong as Ji You?"

"It feels pretty much the same, but I don't know exactly how..."

It is common knowledge that Chu He will return from the Chu family before autumn to participate in the Autumn Competition of Tianshu Academy.

But when he returned this time, the aura he displayed was completely different from when he left, it was mysterious and profound, which was shocking.

No one knew what he had experienced in the Chu family, but the words "worthy of the Chu family" began to be mentioned again.

Ji You had never seen Chu He before, so he didn't know how strong his aura was, but he didn't care too much about it. Instead, he continued to cleanse his body in the room.

On the other hand, Ban Yangshu and his group would bring him some hearsay news every day, and then sit in the yard and talk about it. The key point was that they would drink his tea empty-handed every time, which made Ji You feel like he was facing a formidable enemy.

"My dad is here too."

"Your father?"

Bai Rulong came back from outside at this time and sat down to drink some tea.

Bai Zhengze, the head of the Bai family, lost his wife at an early age and remarried. He did not care much for his eldest son, Bai Rulong, and it was said that he rarely even wrote letters to him.

Moreover, because Bai Rulong liked to go to the Sword Testing Forest to watch the female monks dance with swords, he wasted his time on practicing Taoism. Therefore, he did not reach the Tongxuan realm, and naturally could not reach the threshold of entering the inner courtyard, and had no plans to participate in the Autumn Fight.

So he was very puzzled about his father's visit to the hospital.

In addition to his father, Du Zhu's father, the current head of the Du family, also came.

His son had been catching up with him half a year ago, and had burst out to catch up, and now he has reached the initial stage of Tongxuan.

But in front of Chu He and Ji You, there is basically no possibility for him to enter the inner courtyard.

Bai Rulong didn't know what they were so excited about, and since there was a rift between him and his father, he ran over to get some quiet time.

Next door, in another courtyard of the Bishui Lake Elegant Garden, Lu Qingqiu and several fellow practitioners were also discussing this.

They had met Chu He yesterday and indeed felt the extremely powerful aura from him. They had also felt a similar aura from Ji You.

"Who do you think will be able to enter the inner courtyard, Ji You or Chu He?"

"I still think Ji You is okay."

"I think Chu He came back with a lot of confidence."

Amid the buzz of discussion, everyone looked at Lu Qingqiu, who had been serving tea without saying a word: "Qingqiu, what do you think?"

Lu Qingqiu came back to his senses and couldn't help but shook his head gently: "I don't know..."

During the time that Ji You entered Tianshu Academy, he indeed showed everyone his incredible talent.

But when the matter is related to the Chu family, people still feel that he is facing an unknown behemoth.

Everyone's confidence in Ji You comes from his talent, while their confidence in Chu He comes from his family.

In fact, Lu Qingqiu hoped that Ji You would lose.

Because if Chu He loses, he will definitely return to their Chu family after leaving the hospital, but if Ji You loses, he will have no family to return to, so this is the Lu family's opportunity.

Regardless of whether the inherited physique is real or fake, the strength shown by Ji You alone is enough for all the major families to treat him as a guest of honor.

Lou Siyi couldn't help but speak up at this time: "In fact, none of us have seen them fight. We haven't seen Ji You's swordsmanship, and we haven't seen the Chu family's magic. It's really hard to be sure just by looking at the aura."

Sun Qiaozhi raised her eyes: "What's Ji You's reaction?"

"I met him once at Xianshanfang at noon, and I didn't feel nervous at all."

After Lou Siyi finished speaking, she looked at Lu Qingqiu and said, "Qingqiu will also participate in the Autumn Fight, right?"

Lu Qingqiu smiled and said, "It's just an ordinary duel, and we stopped at the right time. It's different from them."

"What a pity! You are only one step away from enlightenment..."

"There's nothing to be regretful about. Everyone has their own talent limitations, and no one is an exception."

Lu Qingqiu's Xuan Guang has almost been condensed, but he is still one step away from breaking through and is unable to enter Tong Xuan.

She had focused all her attention on Ji You at the beginning, and always felt that breaking through the realm was a very simple thing, as natural as eating and drinking.

But you won’t understand how difficult it is until you do it yourself.

Because the realm of oneself and the realm of all dharmas are different after all. One only requires self-cultivation, while the other requires comprehending the way of heaven. It is not possible to force it.

His teacher often told her the word "enlightenment", but until now Lu Qingqiu still had no enlightenment.

The one who felt the limitations of her talent most profoundly was Fang Ruoyao, who was sitting in the corner.

It took her a long time to successfully awaken her spirit after being hospitalized, but now she is still in the Wei Zhao realm and has not made any progress.

So when she thought back to last year in Yuyang County, she became even more silent when she thought of Ji You who had secretly reached perfection in the lower three realms at that time.

At that time, she had never thought that Ji You had the opportunity to enter the inner courtyard.

Amidst such discussions, the day of the Autumn Competition at Tianshu Academy quietly arrived.

It is the beginning of autumn now, but the heat has not completely dissipated yet, and it is still a bit stuffy at noon.

There is an arena on the white jade stage from morning to night, with the sound of swords and the flash of knives constantly heard. These are the disciples who are about to leave the academy fighting each other.

"Senior Brother Cao Wei won."

"Senior Sister Qiao Rong lost..."

News like this is circulated in the courtyard every day.

Unlike the three duels for the inner courtyard disciples, the duels for the disciples leaving the inner courtyard are basically decided in one go.

Therefore, most of the people who came here to watch the fun were disciples from the outer courtyard, and no one else was paying attention.

Unless someone wanted to find a Taoist companion to take home before leaving the hospital, it would be more eye-catching than the duel on the white jade stage, and Bai Rulong was itching to watch it.

At the same time, news of fighting competitions often came from the inner courtyard, but the outer courtyard disciples could not enter the inner courtyard and could not watch the fights in person.

Ban Yangshu came to watch the fights in the outer courtyard several times and couldn't help but be amazed.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

He had seen Ji You wield his sword at almost every level, and had thought that the other disciples in the outer courtyard were not much worse. Now he knew the difference.

At the si hour on the third day, the sun was high in the sky, and it was a period of time with both summer heat and autumn breeze.

Bai Rulong and Qian Yunxiao arrived in front of the white jade stage and saw Lu Qingqiu holding a delicate long sword. He walked up to the white jade stage and fought against a senior sister from the outer courtyard.

This kind of competition is in a ring system. The winner will be the champion, and the champion will be replaced only when he loses.

On the white jade stage, Miss Lu from Yunzhou was seen with her spiritual energy whistling. She waved her sword and went to meet a senior sister from the outer courtyard, the sword in her hand dancing like the wind.

She had been studying with Instructor Wang in the Sword Testing Forest for quite some time, and had learned sword techniques quite well.

That senior sister was at a similar realm to her, and the clanging sounds of swords clashing continued. Spiritual energy whistled and the breeze danced, and for a moment it was difficult to tell who was the better.

However, just as the senior sister was infusing the sword with spiritual energy, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the corner, and then another sharp sword whizzed out and instantly blocked the attack of the senior sister.

The next second, Lu Qingqiu's sword light was like a wave, and he slashed fiercely at the flying sword, which caused a burst of exclamations.

"It feels like Lu Qingqiu is deliberately learning Brother Ji's fighting style..."

When Qian Yunxiao saw this scene, he couldn't help but open his mouth slightly.

Bai Rulong did not say anything, but immediately looked at a few more swords, and suddenly spoke as if he recognized something: "Yes, isn't this the sword that Brother Ji used to save us when we were attacked on the street that day?"

"It seems that Brother Ji's sword that day did leave an indelible impression on Miss Lu's heart."

Lou Siyi was not far away, and when she heard what they said, she thought it was not just Lu Qingqiu.

Since going to the Sword Forest, even she and Sun Qiaozhi asked Instructor Wang to teach them this style of sword-wielding, because that sword was truly unforgettable.

Then the sun moved westward, and by the beginning of the afternoon, Lu Qingqiu was already sweating profusely. Then, when facing a senior sister in the Tongxuan realm, he bowed and stepped down.

"How about the sword I used just now?"

Bai Rulong and Qian Yunxiao quickly applauded: "It looks very familiar."

Lu Qingqiu smiled lightly: "How is Mr. Ji now?"

"It's still the same. I meditate in my room every day, but I go to the enlightenment hall less often."

"Tomorrow, the autumn competition in the inner courtyard will begin..."

Amidst the muttering, Lu Qingqiu suddenly saw a figure standing outside the white jade platform. It was Chu He.

He seemed to be thinking about tomorrow's battle as well, and was looking at Bai Yutai with a cold gaze.

Lu Qingqiu walked over and said, "Mr. Chu, how come you have time to come out and take a look?"

"I was bored staying in the room, and I happened to see Miss Lu using her sword. She looked a bit like Ji You. This trick looks interesting, but it's actually very boring."

"Master Chu looks very confident?"

Chu He looked at him calmly, "Do you really think that our Chu family is just a name for nothing?"

After returning home, he had a feeling of being able to hold up the sky, and whenever he thought of Ji You, he was filled with fighting spirit and could hardly suppress his murderous intent.

His eldest brother and father once told him that in today's world of immortal cultivation, no one could defeat him unless he was at the Dao Rong realm.

Even if someone from Rong Dao Realm really attacked him, it would be difficult to kill him.

This time he entered the inner courtyard, and he would soon become the palace master's personal disciple. Ji You was just a small episode in his life, although this episode had been singing in his ears for too long.

Lu Qingqiu was looking at him at this moment, his brows slightly wrinkled.

She couldn't see Chu He's realm and state, but she could feel the majestic aura.

The Lu family is also a well-known family. Although it cannot be compared with the Chu family, they know each other.

She knew that the Chu family had many mysterious techniques, but she had never heard of a person being able to overwhelm the world with his aura in just two months.

(The accident report has been issued. I am now going to the parking lot to pick up the car for damage assessment and repair. The other party was indeed drunk. The blood test showed 49. The insurance company and the 4S shop call me every day. In addition, it is the New Year. I have been feeling upset during this period. It has indeed affected my condition. Please bear with me.)
