Chapter 26: The Great Mastery of Body Movements, Insight Into Every Detail
The martial arts competition in the martial arts hall is conducted by drawing lots, which also involves some luck.
Some of the strengths are not much different. On the martial arts stage, swords and swords flash, spears and sticks compete, and there are cheers.
Some of the strengths are basically decided by one move. A young man named Hu Gang, with a sword in his hand but not unsheathed, knocked his opponent off the martial arts stage with one palm.
Those who have the courage to participate in the martial arts competition are at least martial artists of the seventh level of body training. They are talented and practice the third-grade martial arts. Their strength is much stronger than that of ordinary martial arts hall students.
There was a commotion under the martial arts stage. Many martial arts hall students cheered and shouted, cheering for the players they liked to support.
The first round of eliminations went quickly. Not long after, it was Luo Xiu's turn to play.
"Number three martial arts stage, ninety-eight!"
Pop!
A young man suddenly stepped on the ground with his feet, his body rotated in the air, and landed lightly on the martial arts stage.
There was a burst of applause from the audience. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this person should be practicing the third-grade body movement and had good lightness skills.
Compared to the body movement and lightness skills displayed by his opponent, Luo Xiu was much more ordinary. He jumped lightly and landed on the arena.
"Are you the Luo Xiu who just entered the intermediate class some time ago and defeated Zhang Hai?" The young man opposite was thin, and when he saw that his opponent was Luo Xiu, a trace of fear appeared in his eyes.
Luo Xiu nodded lightly and did not say much.
However, Luo Xiu's ordinary performance seemed to him to be a kind of contempt for himself, which made the young man opposite snort coldly and sneer in his heart.
"This Luo Xiu thinks that he has defeated Zhang Hai and does not take me seriously. We are both in the seventh level of body refining, and I don't believe that I will definitely lose to you!"
He was very confident in his body movement. He moved his body and rushed towards Luo Xiu. At the same time, he raised his hand and swung it, and a cold light flew towards Luo Xiu.
The cold light was a flying knife about an inch long. Obviously, this young man took the unconventional way of hidden weapons.
Luo Xiu didn't take it seriously. He moved his footsteps lightly sideways, and the flying knife flew past his chest, just a millimeter away!
This scene was nothing to others, but it was completely different in the eyes of the elders and the master of the martial arts hall on the attic.
"Great body skills, into the millimeter?" Zhuang Nantian was surprised.
The so-called into the millimeter is a skill of light body skills, which aims to avoid attacks in the most effective way. However, this skill requires very high requirements. If there is a slight mistake, you will be hit by the opponent's attack.
On the competition stage, at the moment when Luo Xiu avoided the flying knife, his footsteps suddenly stepped out, and his figure was like the wind, and he appeared directly in front of the young man.
"Bang!"
Accompanied by a dull sound, a figure fell from the competition stage.
"Luo Xiu wins!"
The referee teacher in charge of the No. 3 competition stage announced loudly.
"Damn it, this Luo Xiu is really lucky, my flying knife is just a little bit away from hitting him!"
The young man who was knocked off the competition stage by Luo Xiu had a gloomy face and his eyes were full of unwillingness.
"Eighth level physical training Zhang Hai was crippled, so it's not shameful for you to lose to him." The companion next to him said comfortingly.
Luo Xiu walked down from the martial arts arena. The opponent of the seventh level physical training was too weak, and he didn't even have the qualifications to draw his sword.
More than a hundred competitions seemed a lot, but in fact, they were carried out very quickly. After all, the participating students were all physical training martial artists, and the winner could be decided in a dozen moves at most.
At the beginning of the second round, the qualified people drew lots again. Luo Xiu drew 'thirteen' and soon went on stage again.
Luo Xiu's second opponent was still a seventh level physical training martial artist.
At the beginning of the game, Luo Xiu was too lazy to waste time. He flashed and rushed forward. Before his opponent could react, he knocked him off the martial arts arena with a palm.
Like the first game, Luo Xiu did not use any martial arts, but only relied on the exquisiteness of his body movements to defeat the enemy in one move.
"This kid is too arrogant. Does he really think he is invincible just because he has great body skills?"
"I guess this guy is just good at body skills at best. His martial arts and internal strength are definitely not that good. It's okay when he meets someone weaker than him, but once he meets a master, no matter how good his body skills are, it's useless."
Many other participating martial arts students noticed Luo Xiu's performance and classified him as someone with good body skills but average strength.
After the second round, there were only more than 70 people who advanced again.
The competition entered the third round. This time Luo Xiu played earlier. His opponent was a young man wearing a green martial arts uniform, carrying a black iron spear, and with a proud face.
"Hehe, this Luo Xiu is so unlucky that he actually met Lin Jie!"
Beside Liu Yuxin under the competition stage, Xu Fei, who plays the role of a flower protector all day long, said gloatingly.
Liu Yuxin frowned slightly, and a trace of disgust appeared in her bright eyes towards Xu Fei beside her. "At least Luo Xiu dared to participate in the competition, and he has won two games. Even if he lost to Lin Jie, it is not shameful." "He is just lucky. The two he met before were relatively weak." Xu Fei said with an ugly face. He naturally heard that Liu Yuxin was mocking him for not even daring to participate in the competition. However, thinking that this woman would be his sooner or later, he endured it and secretly said, "Wait for you, Liu Yuxin, to marry into my Xu family, and see how I will play with you then!" "Lin Jie?" In the attic viewing seat, Zhuang Nantian frowned slightly. He knew that Luo Xiu had reached the eighth level of body refining two months ago. Because he practiced the Pure Yang Gong, it was probably comparable to the ninth level of body refining.
But this Lin Jie is not ordinary, he is at the peak of the ninth level of body refining, ranking fifth on the list!
As the fourth genius who has mastered the Pure Yang Gong in the past eight hundred years, Zhuang Nantian is still very optimistic about Luo Xiu. He originally planned to accept him as a disciple after this martial arts competition. However, if Luo Xiu cannot get a good ranking in the martial arts competition, he will let others gossip if he accepts him as a disciple.
"Elder Zhuang, please be patient. Luo Xiu is not as simple as he looks." The master of the martial arts hall smiled slightly, holding up the teacup and smiled.
Behind the master of the martial arts hall and the elders, all the teachers in the martial arts hall were standing, but there was only one person sitting with the elders, who was the beautiful teacher Lu Mengyao, who was known as the ice and fire.
"I also agree with the hall master. Luo Xiu should be able to win." Lu Mengyao said.
Zhuang Nantian looked surprised, then smiled slightly, with curiosity in his eyes, looking at Luo Xiu on the arena, thinking: "Could this kid have a secret that I can't see?"
On the arena, Luo Xiu and Lin Jie stood opposite each other.
"You are not my opponent. If you don't want to get hurt, just go down by yourself." Lin Jie stood proudly in the field, glanced at Luo Xiu lightly, revealing a trace of disdain.
Luo Xiu shook his head speechlessly. Perhaps it was because he was often bullied by the children of aristocratic families when he was born as a commoner. What he hated most was those guys who were arrogant, conceited, and looked down on others.
Seeing Luo Xiu shaking his head, Lin Jie frowned, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes, "It seems that you won't cry until you see the coffin!"
As he spoke, he stepped out, and a faint light flashed around him. The light appeared before the internal energy was circulated to the extreme. Generally, only martial artists at the peak of the ninth level of body refining can do this.
"No need to use a gun for a piece of trash like you, take my move, the Mountain Breaking Fist!"
Lin Jie rushed to Luo Xiu and punched him in the chest, his internal energy flashing and the wind of his fist whistling fiercely.
Faced with this fierce punch, Luo Xiu was calm and composed, and his figure gently stepped back half a step, and Lin Jie's fist was less than half an inch away from his chest.
Lin Jie was stunned, but the momentum of this punch was just exhausted, and Luo Xiu dodged it just in time.
Luck? Or did this kid calculate that my punch would be exhausted at this point and could not touch him?
Lin Jie was ranked seventh on the list, so he was naturally not a fool. He suddenly realized that Luo Xiu was probably not as simple as he thought.
"Double Shadow Fist!"
Lin Jie immediately changed his moves, and his fists flew like rain, with heavy fist shadows, which made people dazzled.
Many of this set of boxing techniques are fake moves, and it is easy to be defeated if you are not careful.
Luo Xiu unfolded his body skills, moving freely in the sky full of fist shadows. No matter how fierce Lin Jie's attack was, he was always calm and responded calmly.
"Great body skills, subtle and accurate, practicing to this level with the second-grade inch step, not bad, not bad..."
In the attic, the master of the martial arts hall stroked his beard and nodded with a smile. At the age of fourteen, he practiced the Pure Yang Gong and could comprehend the subtle body skills. This talent is very rare.
"But Lin Jie is best at the Moon-grabbing Spear Skill. I wonder how Luo Xiu's Thunder Sword Skill is?"
The master of the martial arts hall had a sharp eye and had long seen that Luo Xiu had hidden his cultivation. Although he seemed to be at the eighth level of physical training, his internal energy had already been cultivated to the ninth level of physical training.
In the eyes of most people, Lin Jie in the field was full of light and his attack was fierce. He was completely suppressing Luo Xiu and had an absolute upper hand.
Shouts and cheers were heard everywhere, but at this moment, a wave of internal energy spread from the arena, and brilliant light burst out.
In the arena, Luo Xiu's aura rose steadily, and the light of internal energy flashed all over his body, and he had reached the height of the ninth level of body refining!
"What!?"
"Ninth level of body refining? How is this possible?"
The audience was silent in an instant, and everyone looked at the black-clothed boy in the arena in disbelief.
As we all know, Luo Xiu was still the eighth level of body refining more than two months ago. How could he cultivate to the ninth level of body refining in such a short time?
What's more exaggerated is that as early as five months ago, Luo Xiu was still the second level of body refining!
Five months! Crossed seven realms?
This definitely broke the cultivation record of Qingyun City Martial Hall for more than 800 years!
In the audience, the four elders including Zhuang Nantian all stood up and stared at the black-clothed boy in the arena with their eyes blankly.
Is this Luo Xiu a monster? How could he cultivate so fast?
Among all the people, only the master of the martial arts hall and Lu Mengyao were relatively calm. For ordinary people, this speed of cultivation is indeed a miracle, but this is only relative to Qingyun City. If you look at the entire Yunlong County, or even the Xiaoyao Sect, there are some people who have such a speed of cultivation, although not many.
"Chi!"
Suddenly, a sharp sound of breaking through the air came from the martial arts arena. Lin Jie, who had been unable to attack for a long time, used his spear skills. The black iron spear was as fast as the wind, and the moon-grabbing spear skills drew arcs and attacked Luo Xiu.
Just when everyone thought that the long sword behind Luo Xiu should be unsheathed, he still did not move at all. With a slight push of his palm, he shook the long spear away. His body movements were like a shadow, like a tiger pouncing, and a punch hit Lin Jie's chest.
"Bang!"
With a powerful force bursting out, Lin Jie's body flew up, like a kite with a broken string, flying backwards and falling off the stage.
"Hua..."
Seeing that Luo Xiu defeated Lin Jie, who was good at guns, with just his body and boxing skills, there was an uproar in the audience. Almost everyone was stunned. They couldn't believe that in less than half a year, Luo Xiu, who was originally unknown, had become so powerful.
The referee on the competition stage was also shocked by the strength shown by Luo Xiu. He suddenly reacted and quickly announced that Luo Xiu won.
There is no doubt that after this competition, Luo Xiu's name will definitely become a legend in the Qingyun City Martial Hall!
Under the competition stage, there was a warm applause and cheers. If some people thought that Luo Xiu was just good at body and luck before, then after the battle with Lin Jie, Luo Xiu proved to everyone that he had strong strength, not luck!
Especially those students who were born in the same civilian family as Luo Xiu, they were even more excited. They were all born in poverty. Since Luo Xiu can rise, why can't I?
On the arena, Luo Xiu's tall and straight figure was like a brand, engraved in the hearts of many people. Many people secretly made up their minds that they must practice hard in the future, and maybe they could achieve the same as Luo Xiu.
