Chapter 193 Strong Enemy
When Qi Yuanshan said the name "Su Xiao" on the ring, people on both sides of Luoshui started talking again.
Since Su Xiao was accepted as a closed disciple by the master of Jiange Pavilion, he has always been a genius figure that attracted much attention.
Many people feel that among the young generation of the Daqi Dynasty today, he is the most likely to become a saint, and he will most likely become the next master of the Sword Pavilion.
It’s just that in the past few years, he basically stayed in the sect to practice swordsmanship and rarely went down the mountain, so there was little news.
In the eyes of everyone, nature also has a somewhat mysterious color.
However, now, Qi Yuanshan said in front of the public that Su Xiao will participate in the Luoshui Conference in the near future, and also named Gu Xu to meet him.
Meetings between influential figures are undoubtedly the best way to arouse everyone's expectations.
“Do you think, if Mr. Gu and Jiange Su Xiao had a fight after meeting, who would win?”
“Of course it’s Su Xiao. He was already A monk in the fourth realm.”
"Master Gu has killed the 'fierce god'!"
"The 'fierce god' was not solved by him, but by the saints."
"No matter what, he can defeat the 'fierce god' Surviving in front of others has proved that he has unimaginable means. If he and Su Xiao are in the same realm, I really don’t know who can be better!"
"Damn, really. I hope it will be the Luoshui Conference tomorrow!”
“…”
.........
After Shi Xiaohan defeated two opponents in a row in the ring, he was in the limelight for a while.
The people were cheering for her and the musicians were playing music for her.
The literati were scrambling to write poems and lyrics for her.
A pretty girl, relying on a rough and heavy machete, defeated her powerful enemy with superb martial arts - such a wonderful subject is simply rare to find.
After all, for most literati, it would be a bit boring to write about two big men fighting each other in the ring.
However, there are so many gorgeous words to praise women's beauty in the articles of the predecessors that they can easily think of them.
As a result, the melodious and melodious singing of the band singers continued over Luoshui, praising Shi Xiaohan to the sky and describing him as a goddess in the sky.
Even though Shi Xiaohan has always been a little narcissistic, he felt a little embarrassed after hearing these lyrics.
In the next period of time, there will be no new challengers on the high platform.
On the one hand, Shi Xiaohan's strength shown in the battle just now successfully persuaded many people to retreat.
On the other hand, the masters present could basically tell that Shi Xiaohan had consumed a lot of his true energy after defeating Qi Yuanshan - now that he was on stage to challenge her, he was more or less unable to win, which was not conducive. They became famous in the capital.
Actually, such an arena match is indeed somewhat unfair to the monk who appears first.
Because if they want to be the winner, they must face challengers one after another and stand to the end in the wheel battle. During this period, it is difficult to have enough time for them to slowly recover their physical strength and true energy.
But this arena competition is just a celebration of the Lantern Festival.
Most people come here to become famous in Luojing.
So, when Xiaohan showed obvious fatigue, they all chose to give her some time to rest.
Shi Xiaohan simply sat down cross-legged and quietly restored his true energy.
But her stomach was still growling.
There is no way, the "Taotie Seal" can only rely on food to add layers.
.........
About a quarter of an hour later, challengers finally entered the ring one after another.
The first person to take the stage was a fat man with only the first level of cultivation.
As soon as he came on stage, the fat man raised his hands and said, "Miss Shi, I'm not here to challenge you. I'm just attracted by your sword skills and want to see you up close."
Hearing this, Shi Xiaohan frowned slightly, picked up the Kunwu knife, and slapped the fat man away with the force of the knife.
Before the fat man could resist, he bounced up high from the ring like a ball and fell straight into the Luo River. With a splash, there was a splash of water.
There was a burst of laughter among the crowd.
The second person to take the stage was a ninth-grade official from the Exorcism Department Headquarters.
This official also once redeemed the "Overlord's Sword Technique" from the Yamen Treasury.
It’s just that he has recently encountered a bottleneck in the process of practicing this sword technique, and it is difficult to go further.
However, after he just saw Shi Xiaohan's sword skills in the audience, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he seemed to have vaguely grasped the idea of a breakthrough.
So, he bravely stepped into the ring and chose to challenge Shi Xiaohan, hoping to use this opportunity to break through this obstacle.
Shi Xiaohan agreed.
Then she exerted all her strength and knocked this respectable opponent to the ground with one move.
The official spent a lot of effort to get up from the ground. But his expression looked very happy, and he even said to himself on the way back: "I understand! I finally understand! It turns out that this is the real 'Overlord Sword Technique'!"
......
As Shi Xiaohan defeated one opponent after another, the cheers from the audience became more and more exciting.
Her reputation quickly spread throughout Luojing City overnight.
Even if she failed to stand to the end in this arena, the residents of Luojing still remembered her name firmly.
Soon, her sixth challenger of the night took the stage.
This man, like Jia Xiuguang before, was also wearing the gray and white robe of Longmen Academy.
It’s just that this man looks older than Jia Xiuguang, with a short beard, sparse eyebrows and a long face.
When the man climbed up the suspended stairs, Gu Xu's expression became solemn.
Because he clearly felt that this student from Longmen Academy actually possessed the fourth level of cultivation!
"Are these real masters finally unable to resist and want to take action?" He thought to himself, "It seems that the battle of the Hero of Time will stop here!"
He knew, Due to factors such as the 'Taotie Seal', Shi Xiaohan's combat effectiveness was much stronger than most monks who had just entered the third realm, but it was not to the extent that he could fight across the border.
However, seeing Shi Xiaohan working so hard for so long, but still unable to achieve her goal in the end, he still felt sorry for her.
"This man is the disciple who inherited the mantle of Dean Li of Longmen Academy. His name is Gao Lang." At this time, Qi Yan introduced him in his ear again, "He practices with Dean Li. Over the years, he has been proficient in all kinds of magic. Many students in the academy regard him as their idol... It is not a shame for Miss Shi to lose to him..."
"In the Longmen Academy, Gao Lang, please Advice!" Gao Lang nodded slightly in front of Shi Xiaohan.
"Please!" Shi Xiaohan tightened his grip on the "Kunwu Sword" and had an unknown premonition in his heart.
The gongs and drums sound, and the competition begins.
Gao Lang remained motionless, standing there silently reciting the incantation.
Shi Xiaohan raised his knife and prepared to rush towards him.
However, at this time, she only felt that the gravity around her was seriously disrupted.
It's like standing on a ship sailing through a storm.
She was unsteady, staggering and stumbling.
The "Kunwu Sword" in his hand is sometimes light and sometimes heavy, making it difficult to control the strength and use it to display complete sword skills.
Then Gao Lang slowly raised his right hand.
Shi Xiaohan could no longer maintain the balance of her body and fell backward with a "bang", her butt hitting the ground hard, making her groan in pain.
Then she slid all the way to the railing.
“I agree!” Gao Lang looked at her and said expressionlessly.
“I haven’t lost yet!” Shi Xiaohan put his hands on the floor and struggled to get up.
Gao Lang continued to recite the mantra without saying a word.
Shi Xiaohan felt the world spin again, and his whole body rolled directly to Gao Lang's side uncontrollably.
And the Kunwu knife in her hand appeared in Gao Lang's hand at some unknown time.
I saw Gao Lang holding "Kunwu", pointing the blade at her throat, and said in a plain tone again: "I accept."
Shi Xiaohan said nothing.
She bit her lip, her eyes a little moist.
She thought she would lose.
But she never thought that she would lose so humiliatingly and lose without the strength to resist.
The unpredictable force field directly restrained her martial arts, making her unable to use her strength.
Moreover, as a fourth-level monk, the other party has not even taken out his life object, which obviously proves that the other party has not used his full strength.
This place in Luojing City is indeed a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.
"I...I give up..."
The gravity field finally returned to its original state.
Shi Xiaohan climbed up from the ground with difficulty, took the "Kunwu Sword" from the opponent's hand, and then walked along the suspended steps towards the crowded river bank.
Cheers sounded again.
But it wasn’t for her.
This time, she became someone else’s backdrop.
"Sorry, Gu Xu, I can't win the money and elixirs you like for you..." She lowered her head and thought to herself in despair.
PS: Sorry, I was too sleepy and fell asleep on the table halfway through writing this QAQ chapter, so the update is a little late.
