Early the next morning, before the morning dew on the branches had dissipated, the entrance to the main venue of Xifeng was packed with people.
In addition to outside spectators who bought tickets, disciples from all major sects were also present, especially sword practitioners.
Everyone rushed forward, fearing that they would be a step late.
Originally, the duel between Zhu Changyang and Wan Lizheng was highly anticipated and was regarded as the biggest highlight of this competition.
With the appearance of Industrialist's hot weapons and the news of Yu Fu's survival, everyone's passion and curiosity were pushed to the peak.
The venue was bustling with people inside and outside, and there were sounds of excited discussions and debates everywhere.
"Ah, I finally waited for this match. Wanli Zheng will definitely win!"
"Bullshit, Zhu Changyang is the real master!"
"Brother, you don't understand. I'm not bragging about Wanli Zheng. He is definitely the most talented swordsman in the past five hundred years. No other masters can compare to him."
"Stop pretending, I know you. You are the vice president of Wanlizheng's followers association. A few days ago, you scolded Master Zhu in our Industrial Sect shopping list sharing group!"
"Ah, so you are from that shopping group. Then I have to have a good talk with you. I didn't mean to scold Master Zhu that day. I was just talking about the facts. In terms of realm and sword intent alone, Master Zhu is a little bit behind."
"Haha, who would talk to you about sword intent alone? Master Zhu is a serious weapon refiner, okay? Don't you see how powerful the magic weapon of the Industrial Sect is? I don't believe that Wanli Zheng can be more durable than the sixth-level insect king!"
"These two Taoist friends are too excited. Why don't I, a passerby who doesn't support either side, say something..."
"Come on, you're just a passerby. You're holding a sign in your hand that supports Jun Shu!"
"Hey, I admit that I like Jun Shu a little, but I just like his appearance. It doesn't affect my objective and fair attitude towards other people in the Industrial Sect!"
Zhu Changyang and Jun Shu, along with a group of people from the Industrial Sect, entered the venue through the contestant channel when they happened to hear the speech of that pure passerby.
Jun Shu's face turned sour: "Nonsense."
The developer popped his head out of his pocket and shouted in solidarity: "Meow meow meow!"
Li Ying volunteered: "I'll go beat him up."
Zhu Changyang: “Hmm?”
Li Ying silently took a few steps back.
Zhu Changyang tried not to laugh and said seriously, "I think he has good taste. Our Jun is indeed very good-looking."
The developer nodded in agreement: “Meow meow meow.”
"Sweet talk." Jun Shu snorted and said happily, "I knew you had bad intentions towards me."
Zhu Changyang: “…”
This gave him a chance to cheat?!
Zhu Changyang pretended not to hear it, turned his head away and glanced around the scene. He couldn't help but sigh that the traffic of celebrity contestants was different.
In addition to the dispute over strength and inheritance between Zhu Changyang and Wanli Zheng, many people are concerned about another thing - the final ownership of the Kunshan jade piece.
Everyone knows Kunlun's obsession with Gu Peng's treasure, but unfortunately the treasure fell into the wrong hands, and it was thought that Kunlun would regret it for the rest of his life.
But as the news of Wanli Zheng's sword intention and the living fish spread, the conversation between Wen Chuxue and Zhu Changyang in the Wenxin Pavilion was also revealed by someone who knew the inside story.
If the Kunshan piece of jade recognizes its owner on its own initiative, then the next opportunity will be determined separately.
"Hey, do you think Kunshan Pianyu will really recognize Wanli Zheng as his master?"
"Do you even need to ask? Wanli Zheng has already taken care of Yu Fu, and Kunshan Pianyu is so spiritual, how could he not know who is the real inheritor of Gu Peng's legacy!"
"Oh, if I were Master Zhu, I wouldn't have taken out the spiritual jade!"
"It doesn't matter whether he takes it out or not. If the treasure wants to recognize its owner, it can't be changed by anyone's will."
"Look up, Wanli Zheng is coming!"
There was a commotion ahead, and everyone looked up quickly, and saw a ray of sword light flying from the direction of the snow-capped peak of Wenxin Main Peak, like a meteor chasing the moon, and arriving above the arena in an instant.
The young man in the cloud robe on the sword floated down, with a straight posture and indifferent eyes. It was Wanli Zheng.
The venue was suddenly filled with noise, and fans excitedly held up the lighted signs they had made in advance and waved them to signal.
"I have come a long way just for you!"
"The people of Kunshan are like jade, and the sword god is unparalleled in the world!"
Wan Lizheng caught a glimpse of the flashing slogans from the corner of his eye, and his usually calm expression cracked slightly.
Why are these audiences becoming more and more exaggerated? !
Studio:
[Spray, some of the head-fighting scenes at the Vision concert! ]
[Industrial Zong is fine. The other party’s light license plate will be sold. Are these slogans still provided by Chang Yang? ]
[No doubt, such a tacky word must have been copied from his fan circle! ]
In the VIP seats at the east end of the arena, all of Kunlun's senior executives were present, all of them beaming with joy, their eyes revealing a hint of excitement that they were determined to win.
If they had not been completely sure before whether the Kunshan jade could return to Kunlun, they no longer had any doubts now.
Seeing Wanli Zheng's high popularity, an elder was overwhelmed with emotion. He could not help but step forward and whispered, "Master, should we get our people ready first? If Baoyu recognizes his master later, should we hold a sword-transmitting ceremony for Wanli Zheng?"
"No hurry." Wen Chuxue was more cautious and raised her hand to stop him. "Kunshan Piece of Jade may not recognize its master so quickly."
Of course, the only difference is sooner or later.
After all, in this world, what else can be more recognized by Gu Peng’s relics than Gu Peng’s sword intent
"Yes." The elder said angrily, "I was too hasty."
As he was speaking, Zhu Changyang also walked onto the stage.
There was another round of noise in the venue, and there were quite a few light boards. It was much simpler without any cheering words, mainly because the industrial school didn't allow for those that were too corny.
The developer also hung up his own small cheering sign and squatted on Jun Shu's shoulder, looking up.
Li Ying, Jie Li and Xuan Yang joined forces to unfold a large red banner.
Zhu Changyang clasped his fists and said, "Brother Wanli, I finally met you."
Wanli Zheng nodded in return: "I have been looking forward to it for a long time."
The two have been through a lot together and have a pretty good relationship. Now when they meet on the ring, there isn't much tension, but rather a tacit understanding of mutual respect.
Zhu Changyang looked at the young man in front of him with a calm aura, and thought about the big news that broke last night. He felt more and more that he and Gu Peng had an indescribable similarity.
This thought only flashed through his mind, and Zhu Changyang quickly gathered his thoughts, summoned the hilt of his lightsaber, and said with a smile: "Brother Wanli, please draw your sword."
Wan Lizheng was a little surprised when he saw the weapons he took out: "Don't you use Gatling guns and bazookas?"
"That's for fighting against enemies." Zhu Changyang shook his head. "When we spar with our fellow practitioners, we are testing our skills and cultivation. It's not appropriate to use those."
When these words were spoken, the audience was surprised.
"Did I hear correctly? Master Zhu really doesn't use those new 'magic tools'?"
"What the hell is that!"
"Master Zhu is really stupid, isn't he just cutting off his own arms?"
"I think Master Zhu is a true master. They said that those weapons are banned from sale, but they really don't need them."
On the industrial side.
Xuan Yang saw that Li Ying's face suddenly turned green, and asked with concern: "Xiao Ji, are you okay?"
"Nothing." Li Ying looked disillusioned, "It just seems like I'm going bankrupt."
Jie Li looked at him and said, "Don't panic. I'll help you make it back."
Li Ying said gratefully: "Brother, you are so kind."
Xuan Yang: “…”
Jun Shu: “Huh.”
Although it is unpleasant, we have to admit that the facts are indeed not very optimistic.
On stage.
Wan Lizheng thought for a while and reminded: "If you don't use the new 'magic weapon', you are no match for me."
"That means I am at this level, so I have no choice but to accept it." Zhu Changyang was very open-minded and joked, "Don't worry, if Kunshan Pianyu really accepts you as its master, I will definitely serve you with both hands and will never cheat."
Wanli Zheng lowered his eyes and looked at the hilt of the sword in his hand. The "battery" embedded in the hilt was emitting a faint light, and the sword intent left by Gu Peng five hundred years ago was flowing on it.
After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "I don't think this jade will recognize me as its master."
Zhu Changyang: "What?"
Wanli Zheng had no intention of explaining. He pointed his fingers forward and the sword soared into the air.
In an instant, thousands of sword lights appeared and rushed towards Zhu Changyang.
Zhu Changyang pressed the button, the lightsaber lit up, and he swung it forward violently. Suddenly, thousands of rays of light appeared, colliding with Wan Lizheng's sword light, making a "buzzing" sound.
It is exactly one of the sword techniques of Master Gu Peng, one sword turns into thousands of lights.
The sword techniques of both of them were inherited from Gu Peng, and their sword-drawing ideas were very similar, and they both started with the same move.
The difference is that Wanli Zheng's sword light is sharper.
And Zhu Changyang's sword light... is even more dazzling.
Studio:
[Oh, my old swan, the laser show is here again! ]
[Chang Yang, can you please be more restrained? I'm almost blinded by the thorns and can't see anything at all! ]
The dazzling sword light shattered, and neither of them stopped for a moment. They continued to use several techniques, and in a short while, they had exchanged dozens of moves.
The ring of swords rang out on the arena, and the majestic sword energy was like a raging sea, shaking the arena's barrier to the point of collapse.
The spectators near the arena were so frightened that they stepped back one after another, fearing that they would be accidentally injured by the overflowing sword intent.
"Ah, hey, hey, move back a little, it's too scary!"
"As expected of Master Gu Peng's swordsmanship, it is indeed very powerful!"
"Speaking of which, the moves of these two people are too similar, as if they were made by the same person..."
Generally speaking, even if different people learn the same set of sword techniques, there will be some differences in the actual use of the sword.
But Zhu Changyang and Wanli Zheng's ideas for drawing swords are almost the same.
The Kunlun people on the sidelines looked at each other in surprise, "Too similar."
It wasn’t obvious when the two were fighting against different players before, but now that they are competing against each other, the similarity is overwhelming.
Zhu Changyang also noticed this quickly, and the feeling was stronger than others, which made him even more confused.
Because his own idea of using the sword is actually completely based on Gu Peng's.
He had been focusing on cultivating weapons, and only took up a second major for the competition. Due to limited time, he did not spend much time on it. Just like cramming before a final exam in college, he memorized all the key points from Teacher Gu Peng's memory.
Wanli Zheng's sword skills were exactly the same as his, and several times it was like copy and paste.
No, to be precise, Wanli Zheng's combos are more fluent. There are some moves that Zhu Changyang hasn't memorized, but Wanli Zheng has mastered them all, and their power is also greater.
It feels like...
A ridiculous idea popped up.
There was no time to think about it at the moment. As time went by, the two men fought faster and faster. Wan Li Zheng was still at ease, but Zhu Changyang gradually felt tired.
The audience also noticed the difference.
"Hey, it looks like Master Zhu is going to lose."
"It's not surprising. His realm is one level lower than Wanli Zheng's, and his swordsmanship is not as proficient as Wanli Zheng's. If Wanli Zheng's swordsmanship was not so much inferior to his, the winner should have been decided just now."
"Woo woo, please don't, I bet heavily on Master Zhu to win!"
"Damn it, they should have used a rocket launcher. What's the point of a weapon refiner competing with a swordsman?"
Before he finished speaking, there was another clanging sound from the stage, and someone exclaimed, "Master Zhu's defense has been broken!"
When they looked up, they saw that Wanli Zheng's iron sword had arrived in front of Zhu Changyang. The sword light was like a net, which crushed all the shields that Zhu Changyang had condensed, and then stabbed forward.
Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.
In a flash, the lightsaber swung and blocked the iron sword one foot in front of Zhu Changyang.
There was a long "clang" sound, and the hilt of the lightsaber pushed the iron sword out a dozen feet.
Zhu Changyang shouted softly, gathered all his remaining skills into his fingertips, and pointed them forward fiercely.
The lightsaber in front of him suddenly disappeared, and the blade and hilt disappeared together.
The audience recognized this stunt, "Fireflies crossing the sea!"
Wanli Zheng didn't expect that Zhu Changyang could still come up with such a powerful move when there was only a little breath left in his sea of consciousness. He was greatly surprised for a moment.
He immediately changed his tactics and used the Firefly Crossing the Sea as well, preparing to subdue Zhu Changyang first.
However, Zhu Changyang had anticipated this. As he was making the sword gesture, several pieces of black armor flew out of the mustard seed bag and covered his face.
It is the mask made of the insect king's shell.
Wanli Zheng:!
I almost forgot that Zhu Changyang’s major is weapon refining. Even if he doesn’t use those hot weapons, other magical weapons are enough to give him a headache!
The key to Firefly Crossing the Sea is to go straight to the opponent's sea of consciousness. Zhu Changyang predicted his response and took the initiative to protect his sea of consciousness with insect armor, which directly reduced the power of this move by half.
Wanli Zheng's reaction was also extremely fast. He immediately jumped into the air. Almost at the same moment, the lightsaber appeared like a ghost at the place where he had originally stood. It was only a moment away from threatening his sea of consciousness.
There was an uproar in the audience.
"Wanli Zheng is too strong!"
"He has such a precise grasp of the firefly crossing the sea!"
Zhu Changyang almost vomited blood and tried to struggle again, but he was unable to avoid Wanli Zheng's same move of Firefly Crossing the Sea.
The tip of the sword pierced his mask, causing his sea of consciousness to tremble and his blood to surge. He could no longer hold on and took several steps back before he could barely stand.
At this moment, his breath was completely exhausted, and he could only wave his hands and said: "No, no..."
Before the word "fight" came out, a powerful spiritual power suddenly burst out in front of him again, and the lightsaber appeared and soared into the air again.
Zhu Changyang:
He subconsciously lowered his head and glanced at his hands to make sure he hadn't made any hand gestures... Besides, he had no breath left.
How can the lightsaber still be used
etc!
Zhu Changyang suddenly realized something and looked up abruptly.
I saw a flash of light on the hilt of the lightsaber, and the Kunshan energy ring burst out with extremely powerful spiritual power. It was it that carried the lightsaber and flew straight towards Wanli Zheng.
The spiritual power was too huge, far exceeding the cultivation level displayed by Zhu Changyang, causing the barrier of the arena to shake continuously.
The audience in the audience also noticed this abnormal power fluctuation and started to stir. The executives of Kunlun Sect could not help but move forward.
"what happened?"
"Kunshan Pianyu's will has awakened!"
"It's flying towards Wanlizheng. Is it going to recognize its master?!"
"Ahh, I didn't expect to actually see this scene!"
The treasure recognizing its owner is the most exciting suspense besides the outcome of the game. Everyone became excited and looked at Wanli Zheng.
Wanli Zheng was obviously surprised as well. He stared at the lightsaber with a hint of confusion on his face.
The audience became anxious when they saw this.
"Wanli Zheng, what are you standing there for? Go and take the sword!"
"You're so happy you're stupid..."
Before he finished speaking, the lightsaber suddenly burst out with an unprecedented strong murderous aura and slashed towards Wanli Zheng.
Zhu Changyang:
Everyone:
