Chapter 113 Absolute strength
On the second day of competition, the remaining 220 people were divided into 20 groups based on the results of the first day, with 11 people in each group, and the top 11 were evenly assigned to the byes in each group.
So today, at least in the morning, Lu Zhaozhao can be said to have a day off.
When I have nothing to do, I can watch other people competing.
She was the first to arrive outside Yaotong's arena. Tianyin Sect's external image has always been that of a supporting cultivator. Although a supporting cultivator is much stronger than an ordinary cultivator, it is still not that powerful.
This was her first time seeing Yao Tong compete alone.
There were a lot of people surrounding her court, three layers inside and three layers outside. There is always a lot of topics around a beauty, not to mention Yaotong, a beauty with a unique reputation.
As the competition began, Yao Tong summoned the seven-stringed harp.
The body of the zither is full of brilliance, and it looks particularly beautiful under the sunlight. The seven strings are made of thousand-year-old ice silkworm silk. Ice silkworms are born in a place of bone-chilling cold, and the silk seems to also emit a cold light, exuding a sense of chill.
Her opponent was using two swords. Practicing two swords did not require as much emphasis on strength as practicing a single sword, but the technique was extremely demanding.
"Zheng——"
Slender fingers plucked the strings, and a strong note was plucked out, causing fluctuations in the surrounding aura.
"Boom bang bang."
The two swords performed several moves in succession and took on the sound waves.
With just one move, most people could see that although the dual swords required extremely high skills and the person on the stage was also very skilled, the gap between him and Yao Tong was too big.
Not to mention that the damage of Yaotong's seven-stringed harp is extremely overbearing, even the gap in cultivation level cannot be made up by the power of the two swords.
As expected, after a few moves, the situation became one-sided.
Yao Tong ended the competition with two consecutive notes of the piano.
There was thunderous applause all around, not only for the winners but also for the losers.
Being able to stand on this stage means you are already the best among your peers. However, there are always people better than you, and even showing your face may take several years.
Lu Zhaozhao walked away silently. Such scenes would continue to happen every day. She might feel regretful, but she couldn't be too sad, because if she didn't send them away, she would be the one to leave. Everyone present knew this.
As they shuttled between the platforms, the sounds of fighting were endless.
She stopped at a place on the edge, and the person on the stage was Nian Zhi.
This was the first time Lu Zhaozhao looked at her directly instead of subconsciously avoiding her.
Nian Zhi held a long sword in his hand, and the sword was shining brightly.
Zhui Yang is a famous sword alongside Gui Yue. Lu Zhaozhao remembered that this sword had always been collected by Yun Xian. When she was young, she had loved it and asked for it, but the result was obvious. Yun Xian rejected her.
Now, this famous sword appeared on the stage. Some people recognized the sword and were very shocked.
Although Nian Zhi's cultivation level was not high, the thousand years of cultivation contained in the sword itself when he wielded it was enough to fill many gaps.
Chasing the sun during the day is endowed with even more powerful energy.
One sword breaks time, one sword decides victory or defeat.
Relying solely on the power of the sword, Nian Zhi easily defeated his opponent.
Lu Zhaozhao sighed lightly and saw Ying Che in the crowd before turning to leave. He waved happily to Nian Zhi, but Nian Zhi didn't seem to be looking at him.
Lu Zhaozhao looked in the direction of his sight curiously, and saw an extraordinary figure standing high in the distance.
Looking back, Nian Zhi's face was red and she was smiling faintly in that direction.
An outrageous idea emerged in Lu Zhaozhao's mind.
The two of them...had already fallen in love with each other at this time?
This is really... hard to imagine.
But it is not surprising that Yun Xian, as the most talented person in the whole book, has hardly improved his cultivation since his debut.
Before a cultivator leaves his body and examines his mind, the seven emotions and six desires have little influence on his cultivation, but after leaving his body, they have some decisive influence.
The path chosen by Yun Xian was the ruthless one. He should have cut off love, but he knowingly did so, which prevented him from improving his cultivation and even gave rise to inner demons. In the later period, his cultivation regressed instead of improving.
The ruthless path is extremely difficult to cultivate. Everyone has emotions and desires, and even the most ruthless have soft spots. Yet countless people in the world of cultivation have embarked on this path of no return. The reason is simply that all those who have achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven have come from this path.
If you are not practicing to become an immortal, why would you try so hard?
So, even though there are very few successful people on this path, there are always people who choose it. Lu Zhaozhao doesn't know why Yun Xian made this choice, but she thinks that before Nian Zhi appeared, Yun Xian should have maintained his original intention very well, but he didn't expect to meet this destined person.
The more affectionate one is, the more heartless one will be. She doesn't want to get involved in these things. The most important thing right now is her own advancement.
In one morning, all the candidates who advanced were decided, and in the afternoon competition, those who were not given a bye would take the stage.
Lu Zhaozhao stood as instructed. The monk in front of her looked only a few years older than her and was wielding a spear.
The spear is like a white dragon, coming on the light.
Those who can advance are definitely not ordinary people, and Lu Zhaozhao will not take it lightly.
Niye was unsheathed early, and the murderous intent on the field made it tremble slightly with excitement.
Having not taken action for a long time, Lu Zhaozhao felt a little itchy.
The other party had something in mind and used all his strength at the beginning, which was exactly what she wanted.
The white dragon brought by the spear's intent circled around her. The giant dragon roared to the sky, then rushed straight towards Lu Zhaozhao.
Ni Ye made a sword flower, and was injected with true energy, and murderous intent suddenly arose.
Four identical swords appeared at the same time, hovering and dancing in the air, and then collided with the white dragon.
"Bang! Clang!"
The sound of collisions continued, and the battle in the air was fierce.
Faced with the attack of four swords, Bailong was not willing to be outdone and twisted his body to break free from the restraints.
When shooting a person, shoot the horse first; when capturing a thief, capture the leader first. It simply ignored the damage and rushed towards Lu Zhaozhao.
"Oh, too confident."
Lu Zhaozhao raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and Niye's body was still tightly held in her hand, just waiting for this scene.
The next second, her figure disappeared, and then immediately appeared beside Bai Long.
In the white dragon's eyes, a figure was infinitely magnified, and then a long sword pierced into it, and it could no longer see the figure.
The next moment, Lu Zhaozhao appeared at the back of the white dragon, with murderous aura rising up, wrapping the white dragon. The opponent wanted to retract his spear, but it was too late.
The long sword pierced through and penetrated again, and the sound of the dragon bone breaking was crisp and bright.
The white dragon fell heavily to the ground the next moment.
The four long swords still flying in the air delivered the final blow, completely destroying it.
However, the competition was over in just two rounds, and the audience around was unable to react.
It was not until Lu Zhaozhao left the stage and Wenyuan's disciples announced the result that the crowd suddenly became excited.
Lu Zhaozhao, the wife of Emperor Huizong of the Qing Dynasty, had only been heard of her talent, but only after seeing her in person did one realize how terrifying her strength was.
The opponent she was fighting with collapsed to the ground. He fought his way through the battle, but he couldn't even last two rounds.
There was a moment of confusion in my eyes, and the sky seemed to be dyed with color.
