Chapter 30 Chapter 29 Entering the semi-finals together

Back to Tianhuo Cave where Yi Yuan stayed, everyone surrounded Lin Yunfeng and carefully checked his injuries.After a careful inspection, Master Ziyang sighed softly: "Yun Feng has consumed too much real energy this time, which will have a certain impact on his body and future cultivation. However, his foundation is quite solid, so there is no big problem. However, it may be a bit difficult for him to recover his pre-competition skills." Master Xuanyu looked at Yunfeng, and said softly: "We can only do our best in this matter, junior brother, you should do your best to heal his injuries. Hurry up, we must do everything we can, so that in this competition, Good results. Today's battle, as you have seen, is honestly more intense than every previous one. In the past, with Yunfeng's performance today, he would have had a chance to compete for the top six. But what happened this time, I don’t have to tell you, everyone has witnessed it with their own eyes. You don’t need me to tell you the expression of Liu Xinghun before he left. , we have to be extra careful. This time there are eight players from Tianjian Academy, and we have a very high possibility of facing them in the next round. Everyone must be mentally prepared. This time, Yunfeng's victory has already swept them away So we have to pay attention to them in the next game. Well, let’s not say much, let’s hurry up and help him heal.” After speaking, he took the others and left the cave where Yunfeng lived, so as not to disturb Ziyang The real person healed Yunfeng.

Looking at Lu Yun, Master Xuanyu said softly: "The battle in the afternoon is easier than this one, but you have to be careful, try your best to preserve your strength, and don't easily consume too much real energy. In the competition, except In addition to the real cultivation base, it is even more important to compare their own scheming. How to take advantage of the opponent at the beginning, maintain the strength until the end, and deal with the real opponent, that is the key issue. This time, there are many things that are difficult in the six courtyards. It is expected that no one can tell what will happen. This time, Yiyuan wants to break into the top six. Now it seems that it is quite difficult. Regarding this game, I don’t want to say anything, I just want to I hope you guys will do your best, so that you will be worthy of yourself and everyone else." After speaking, he looked at the three disciples with a hint of meaning in their eyes that they didn't understand.

Lu Yun looked at Aoxue and Li Hongfei, and the eyes of the three converged at the same time.Lu Yun smiled lightly and said, "This time, we won't be looked down upon by them. We will definitely make everyone proud of us." Both Zhang Aoxue and Li Hongfei nodded solemnly. their hearts. A gleam of relief flashed in Xuanyu's eyes, and he smiled lightly and said, "Okay, I'll have dinner later, I'll go and see how the other people's results are, so that I can get a better understanding of tomorrow's game. You don't have to wait for me later." , each of you can eat first." After speaking, his body suddenly faded and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

After the meal, Lu Yun stayed outside Yunfeng's cave, watching the situation inside quietly.Zhang Aoxue walked gently to his side, looked inside quietly, and accompanied him without saying anything.In the quiet cave, the two had been guarding for a long time, and Master Ziyang came out sweating profusely.Glancing at the two people who shared the same mouth, Ziyang Zhenren said: "He has recovered six levels of skill. I believe that in tomorrow's competition, he may recover nine levels of skill. There is still hope. Let's go out and don't beat him. Let him exercise his energy and adjust his breath well, that will help his recovery."

When Master Xuanyu came back, everyone was sitting together, talking about the game.Seeing Xuanyu's return, Master Jingyue said softly, "Senior brother, what have you learned? How is the situation in the other houses this time?" Master Xuanyu said: "This time, only two people from our Yi Garden participated in the preliminary competition, four from the other four schools, and six from Tianjian Academy. Judging from the situation of the twelve contestants this morning , There were three disciples from Tianjian Academy in the morning competition, and the result was one win and two losses, showing good strength, while before, almost every academy had one win and one loss, maintaining a balance. After the afternoon competition, we will know the final result. Today Tonight, the Headmaster of the Sixth Academy needs to have a good discussion. Tomorrow's competition is mainly about the strength gap between the contestants. In order to avoid the two strong encounters, everyone should discuss together and try their best to eliminate those with relatively weaker cultivation bases. Players, do the principle of fairness and justice."

Hearing this, Lu Yun said, "Uncle, how many days will this competition last? Today is the first day, just the preliminary round. Tomorrow is the second day for the rematch. After the rematch, there are only twelve people left. At that time, it became the most critical moment to compete for the top six. But after the top six are formed, how will the ranking be arranged? This disciple thinks that ranking is not easy to rank?" Master Xuanyu laughed softly: "This has happened many times, so there is already an unwritten rule about the ranking. After entering the top six, to be honest, the competition is very complicated. Because Everyone should be equal and have the right to compete for the first place. However, it is not easy to arrange the competition of six people. If they are divided into three groups, there will be three victories and three losses in the end. How will the victorious three people compete? What about the first? These things have been raised and asked before. Later, after several martial arts conferences, the Sixth Academy made a regulation and implemented a challenge system. The contestants who enter the top six will be determined by drawing lots first. Opponents are divided into three groups to compete. After the results come out, if the defeated three feel that they are unlucky and have met the strongest opponent, so they lost. Then, he can ask the victorious three One person poses a challenge, if he wins, it means that he is stronger than that person, and he will take that person's place. And so on, and finally decide who the first person is."

Lu Yun heard the words: "So, this final ranking battle will go on for quite a long time?" Xuanyu smiled and said: "Not necessarily, because everyone went all out for the last competition. Therefore, after the three groups of players finished the competition, both sides would consume too much real energy and be unable to fight anymore. This way , in the end there are very few real challenges, so except for the two rankings, generally no one will challenge across levels. And the remaining three winners will have to play three games, one for each, to determine The ranking among the three. Of course, the specific situation will only be known in due time. There are some differences every time, so I can’t say for sure. It’s getting late now, let’s go to Tianying Cave to prepare. Lin Yunfeng Just wait for him to continue healing, let's go."

When we came to Tianying Cave, there was still a while before the game.Lu Yun took the opportunity to walk around the square alone, familiarizing himself with the surrounding environment.Looking around, many disciples from Tianjian Academy were busy, and five from Confucianism Garden also came. Among them, Lu Yun had seen Bi Tian, ​​Gao Gao, and Danqing swordsman Xu Canghai.Among the remaining two, one should be his opponent Li Ming.Lu Yun walked around for a while, then returned to Xuanyu Zhenrenliu, and looked at the door of Confucianism Garden who came to say hello with a smile. Danqing Swordsman Xu Canghai looked at Lu Yun, smiled and said to Master Ziyang: "This time, you will be able to see the most outstanding disciple of your Yangyuan. At that time, he must be merciful. Don't let us carry him back, it will be troublesome." gone."

Master Ziyang laughed and said: "Look at what you said, this disciple of mine has just entered the Taoist sect and has no experience. When the time comes, I will need your disciples to teach me a lot." On the side, Bi Tian approached Zhang Aoxue, and said softly: "Junior Sister Zhang, I heard that Lin Yunfeng from Yi Garden showed his power this morning and defeated Mu Hua, the master of Tianjian Academy. It is really a happy thing. Please send my regards to him , I hope he is all right. Tomorrow, Junior Sister Zhang will also be on the stage, and then I can gamble on her superb sword skills. I hope that I will be able to go and cheer for you when the time comes."

Zhang Aoxue's face was calm, and she said indifferently: "Thank you for your greeting, I will tell Junior Brother Lin. Now the time is up, I will go to greet Junior Brother Lu, please feel free." After speaking, he turned and walked towards Lu Yun. Lu Yun looked at Aoxue with a smile in his eyes, but he didn't speak.Aoxue glanced at him, and said calmly: "The competition is about to start, please remember to be careful, the competition will continue tomorrow, remember." Glancing at him indifferently, Aoxue moved his eyes away. Lu Yun smiled lightly, and said softly: "I know, I will continue tomorrow, don't worry." Here, Li Hongfei looked at Aoxue's figure, with a strange look in his eyes, and slowly approached Lu Yun.Li Hongfei looked at Lu Yun, and said softly, "Work hard, you can do it." Lu Yun nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Looking around, Lu Yun slowly walked into the arena.The Ruyi Heart Soul Sword that has been held in the left hand is shining with a faint red light, like a red sword, very beautiful.Looking at his opponent Li Ming, Lu Yun smiled lightly and said, "Hi, I'm Yi Yuan Lu Yun, please give me your advice." Li Ming, twenty-five or six years old, with a handsome appearance and a bookish face, looks like a scholar.Li Ming held a long sword in his left hand, nodded slightly and said: "I am Li Ming from Confucian Garden, I heard Uncle Xu mentioned your name, saying that you are the most outstanding genius in Yiyuan Yangyuan, please be merciful later. "The tone, with three points of politeness, gives people a kind feeling of Confucian knowledge and reason. Lu Yun said with a smile: "Brother Li has won the award. Everyone praises me too much. I am just a beginner. Now it seems that the time is almost up. Let's start, please make a move." Lu Yun Changjian casually The legs are drooping, and the feet stand there naturally, but it feels like a castle with complete attack and defense, and it is not easy to attack. Li Ming's eyes sank slightly, and he kept paying attention to Lu Yun's movements, carefully looking for his flaws.After watching for a while, Li Ming saw that he couldn't find any flaws, so he had to attack by force.Li Ming let out a soft drink, and a red light burst out all over his body.Confucianism Garden's unique learning - awe-inspiring righteousness, filled with yang and vigour, pervades Li Ming's surroundings, and surrounds him tightly like a flame.Li Ming drew his long sword out of its sheath, and with a howl of the sword, a red sword glow several feet in length suddenly appeared in front of Lu Yun, struck by lightning. Lu Yun smiled lightly, with a hint of understanding in his eyes.With a shake of Lu Yun's right hand, a clear and pleasant sword whistle spread to every corner of the audience in an instant.At the same time, the Ruyi Heart Soul Sword trembled violently, countless sword shadows swayed in a very small range, and gathered into a dazzling red sword energy in a blink of an eye.Lu Yun raised his sword and dropped it, a dazzling red light suddenly met Li Ming's sword.As soon as the sword was swung out, Lu Yun's body suddenly retreated three feet, turned in mid-air, and shot obliquely at Li Ming's left side.The Ruyi Heart Soul Sword was as fast as a fright, and a sword regiment composed of one hundred and forty-eight swords enveloped Li Ming's head in an instant.The speed was astonishingly fast. Li Ming received the sword firmly, and his body shook a few times.Seeing Lu Yun's body suddenly appearing on the left, Li Ming was startled and turned left suddenly.Li Ming roared, and the long sword spun rapidly, and his whole body spun along with the long sword, and turned into a powerful whirlwind in a blink of an eye, rushing towards Lu Yunna for a blow.With one click, Li Ming broke through Lu Yun's sword shadow, and then swooped in mid-air following the momentum, and swooped down on Lu Yun. Lu Yun looked at the rushing opponent, a divine light shot out from his eyes, and he waved his right hand quickly.Ruyi Heart Soul Sword made a strange whistling as it swung quickly, which was extremely ear-splitting.Around Lu Yun, a light red light slowly converged. As the speed of the Ruyi sword became faster and faster, the light red light immediately turned into blood red, and slowly formed a crimson sword gang around Lu Yun. When Li Ming's body approached, a red light flashed all over Lu Yun's body, Ruyi Heart Soul Sword suddenly burst into a majestic momentum, and the surrounding red light suddenly tripled.Lu Yun swung his sword vertically and met Li Ming's attack.I saw a long rainbow penetrating the sun, and there was a sudden explosion and exclamation in midair.The strong airflow around was like a gust of wind, blowing up the dust on the ground and breaking the gravel one after another. Li Ming was sent flying in mid-air by Lu Yun's extremely powerful blow, and his body's protective qi was also scattered, causing him to be seriously injured.After landing on the ground, Li Ming retreated seven steps in a row before standing firmly.Seeing Lu Yun just standing there indifferently, Li Ming also had to admire that he was upright and did not take the opportunity to sneak attack.Taking a breath slowly, Li Ming gathered all his strength again, and the long sword in his hand slowly shone brightly.With a soft drink, Li Ming leaned forward, forming an angle of 30 degrees with the ground, spinning and flying out.During the rotation, every time Li Ming rotates three times, the long sword will touch the ground, and then use its strength to shoot directly.In this way, the long sword in Li Ming's hand, after hitting the ground nine times in a row, rotated so fast that he could not be seen.I saw a red whirlwind rushing towards Lu Yun with a loud roar. Lu Yun swung the long sword with his right hand, and Yi Yuan's unique skill "Blazing Fire Tiangang Sword Art" was fully displayed.A series of crimson sword shadows formed a vortex in front of him, facing Li Ming who was rushing in the opposite direction.Powerful primordial elements gathered in one place, with different natures and different directions of rotation, suddenly produced an explosion that could not coexist.In mid-air, there were countless thunderclaps, which were very powerful. Lu Yun was actually very familiar with the awe-inspiring righteousness of Confucian Garden.Because the Confucian formula he practiced - Haoran Tiangang, has many similarities with this Haoran righteousness.In fact, to put it bluntly, when Haoran's righteousness is cultivated to the end, he will become Haoran Tiangang.It's just that Confucianism Garden has always called this kind of formula, it's just awe-inspiring righteousness. Li Ming's spinning speed was extremely fast, and the spinning force was so powerful that it was tearing apart Lu Yun's layers of sword shadows and piercing Lu Yun's body.In just a moment, Li Ming passed through the shadow of the sword under Lu Yun's cloth. The long sword shone with a strange howl and shone with red brilliance, covering Lu Yun.Li Ming roared: "Awe-inspiring righteousness, the benevolent is invincible. Take me to the first form of Haoran, righteousness and mountains and rivers." Lu Yun's face was calm, and his body quickly drifted back.Raising his right hand slightly, the Ruyi Heart Soul Sword suddenly transformed into eight crimson lights and shadows, shooting out in all directions, preventing Li Ming from advancing.At the same moment, after Lu Yun slashed out the eight swords, the Ruyi Heart Soul Sword spun rapidly along with his right hand.A group of strange blue and red light slowly appeared in Lu Yun's right hand, and with the rotating Ruyi sword, it gathered into a beam of light, and suddenly aimed at Li Ming and shot it out.Hearing a loud howl, the Ruyi Heart Soul Sword was slapped out by Lu Yun's palm, and collided with Li Ming who was chasing him with a bluish-red light at a speed that was too fast to see. Lu Yun's body flashed in mid-air, avoiding the range of the explosion.Looking down, I saw the people around, all looking at the field with changed expressions, obviously deeply attracted by the wonderful fight between the two.At this time, amidst the loud noise, a crimson brilliance flourished, and a figure shot out obliquely, landing a few feet away. The disciples of Confucian Garden all exclaimed, looking at Li Ming who was in a state of distress, their eyes were full of concern.Li Ming looked at those fellow apprentices, with a wry smile on his face, his body stabilized, and the long sword glowed red again.Looking at Lu Yun in mid-air, Li Ming said in a deep voice, "The second form - the heart shines on the sun." After speaking, Li Ming's body was on the ground, and eight figures instantly appeared.I saw eight figures and eight long swords converging in eight directions to form eight red sword pillars.The eight sword pillars gathered in mid-air to form a super huge sword of tens of feet. The giant sword glowed dazzling red, and with the power of shaking the sky, it slashed towards Lu Yun like a giant ax that opened the sky. On the side, Master Xuanyu and the others all changed their expressions slightly.Master Xuanyu said: "Looking at the situation, this opponent is not easy to deal with. Fortunately, Lu Yun has not been injured, which is very beneficial." Master Ziyang looked at Lu Yun in mid-air, and his eyes shot out a hot light.Zi Yang said: "This time, there are almost no weak people in the Sixth Academy's martial arts meeting. Just like this Li Ming, who is not outstanding in the Confucian Garden, but still has such a strong strength. That means that the outstanding disciples of the Confucian Garden, It must be even more powerful and domineering. The future games are really unpredictable. I only hope that Lu Yun can play his best form, and that will be fine. The idea of ​​wanting him to enter the top six has disappeared at this time. He No matter how strong he is, after all, there are only two years, right? This time, I am happy that he can come, at least he will not lose this game, so it is gratifying." Master Jingyue looked at Aoxue, and said softly: "This time, the other five schools are all strong. If we want to enter the top six in this competition, it depends on the luck of the four of them. In the final In that crucial battle, what kind of opponent they meet is very important. It determines their victory or defeat." Both Zhang Aoxue and Li Hongfei had serious faces, and their hearts were full of pressure for the future competition. Master Xuanyu said softly: "Okay, everyone, don't worry too much about it. No one can tell what happened. Just like now, the other five courtyards are also worried about this matter. No one can predict it. The final result. Let's take a closer look at how Lu Yun wins." While Master Xuanyu and the others were talking, Lu Yun looked at the huge sword with a serious expression.At this time, Lu Yun also admired Li Ming very much. He did not expect his cultivation to be so profound.Seeing the huge sword coming, Lu Yun quickly reacted, and suddenly swung countless sword shadows above his head with the Ruyi Heart Soul Sword in his hand.The swiftly swaying sword shadow, with the surrounding airflow, formed a blood-colored red lotus in the blink of an eye.The red lotus was burning with raging flames, spinning continuously above Lu Yun's head.The surrounding air was roasted by the high temperature, and suddenly blue smoke burst out, and a blue flame appeared in the air. With a wave of Lu Yun's long sword, the rapidly spinning red lotus rushed towards Li Ming with the Nine Heavens True Fire between them.Lu Yun shouted loudly: "Look at my flame red lotus, it's because of your loyalty to the sun." The spinning red lotus collided with the giant sword like a frisbee.In mid-air, two beams of red brilliance merged instantly, and countless red true essences formed red clouds, flying in all directions, which looked extraordinarily beautiful from a distance.However, hidden under this beauty is an invisible crisis. The giant sword smashed into the sky, the red lotus whirled, and the two groups of strange brilliance were deadlocked in mid-air.All the people around were holding their breath tightly, for fear of disturbing the two people in the fight.In the eyes of everyone, they saw that the huge sword was blocked between the two by the burning red lotus.The red lotus spun rapidly, and every time it turned around, part of the strength of the giant sword was weakened, and the brilliance of the red lotus itself was also dimmed.After a stalemate for a long time, the two brilliance finally shattered at the same time. Lu Yun's body appeared above Li Ming's head out of thin air, and a crimson brilliance, spinning rapidly above Lu Yun's head, was the Ruyi Heart Soul Sword.At this time, the Ruyi sword was emitting a powerful red light, covering Li Ming inside.As the wishful sword turned faster and faster, the red light became more and more intense, and finally turned into a glaring beam of dazzling light, surrounding Li Ming. Li Ming only felt that the pressure around him was getting bigger and bigger, his body had been locked in place by the powerful airflow, and it was very difficult to even move.At this time, Li Ming was already seriously injured, and he couldn't resist such an attack of pure skill.Li Ming's face turned pale in an instant, his whole body trembled violently, and blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.Seeing that Li Ming was about to lose his standing, he was about to fall to the ground.But at this moment, the dazzling beams of light all around suddenly disappeared without a trace.A group of indifferent red shadows quietly appeared in front of Li Ming, it was Lu Yun. Lu Yun floated down in the sky, and the surrounding breeze gently blew his clothes, making him look extraordinarily elegant.The Ruyi Heart Soul Sword glowed with reddish light, and was slowly spinning above his head, very calmly.Lu Yun looked at Li Ming with a smile, and said with a soft smile: "Brother Li's cultivation is profound, and Lu Yun admires it very much. Now, let's stop, how about it?" Li Ming looked at Lu Yun, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and a smile appeared on his lips.Li Ming stretched out his hand and said softly: "You are very strange, giving people a strange feeling. But one thing, you are very strong, really strong. This time, thank you very much for your mercy. I hope we can make friends. " Lu Yun held his hand, and a burst of fiery essence was sent into his body from his hand.Seeing Li Ming's whole body bursting with red light, his whole body suddenly became much more energetic.Lu Yun smiled and said: "Now, we are friends, right?" Li Ming nodded his head moved when he heard this, and said excitedly: "Yes, we are friends, we are friends now." Some of the unhappy Confucian Garden disciples were all moved. Master Xuanyu looked at Lu Yun, and said admiringly to the people around him: "Lu Yun is very strange, he wins without arrogance, is approachable, and has a kind of kingly air. Remember to learn more from him in the future, let's go there now." After finishing speaking Go to Lu Yun.Real Ziyang's eyes flashed with excitement, looking at Lu Yun, he was extremely happy.After so many years, Yangyuan has finally produced an outstanding disciple, who has won glory for Yiyuan, what a happy thing that is. Zhang Aoxue looked at Lu Yun's indifferent smile, that handsome face, that kind demeanor, all of these were so dazzling, making it hard to forget.At this moment, a strange thing flowed in her heart.A shadowless and invisible thread of love is growing. Danqing swordsman Xu Canghai looked at Lu Yun with strange eyes, and said to his old friend Ziyang Zhenren: "At this moment, I really want to congratulate you, you have accepted a good apprentice. Not only is his cultivation deep, the most important thing is his Generous heart. This time, maybe he will bring great changes for you, Yi Yuan. You are really lucky, old friend, and I am very envious." Master Ziyang smiled happily: "I have won the prize. We are old friends. What are you talking about? This time, the winner can be divided evenly, and the two have become friends. This is also an extremely rare thing. We both Congratulations." At this time, Master Ziyang was extremely happy, Lu Yun was praised by his old friend, which made him even more happy than praising himself. Master Xuanyu smiled and said: "Okay, the competition is over, we don't need to stand here and chat under the scorching sun, let's go back and have a good chat." After speaking, he glanced at everyone. Danqing swordsman Xu Canghai turned his head and ordered his subordinates to take Li Ming back to rest, and he left with Xuanyu and others.In the same place, Bi Tian looked at Aoxue's figure, wanted to speak several times, but finally held back.With a slight sigh, Bi Tian turned around and took his juniors back.
