After closing the door, Lu Mingshu suddenly lost strength, leaned against the door panel, and closed his eyes.
After a while, the fluctuating mood calmed down.
Over the years, she has heard a lot of gossip and seen a lot of indifference, but she has never been treated in this way. Xie Lianzhen's thoughts on her frightened her. She directly pointed out that his purpose was not pure, and only hoped to stop his actions.
The battle after battle was enough for her to worry about, and she didn't want to get entangled with someone whose intentions were unknown.
Putting all these aside, Lu Mingshu sat down again and focused on tomorrow's competition.
The initial trial period has passed, and tomorrow is the time for those outstanding disciples who intend to compete for the rankings to end.
Lu Mingshu didn't know if anyone wanted to take advantage of her high score, but she had to be fully prepared.
She took out one by one strengthening symbols and put them on the table.
As of today, she has drawn a total of fourteen reinforcement symbols. When fighting against Xing Kun, she used up one, and now she has thirteen.
Among the thirteen strengthening talismans, six of them were useless to her. There were seven left, and she picked three out of them.
The first one is to enhance the resonance of profound energy. The second card temporarily increases defense. The third one has a piercing effect.
Two attacks and one defense.
Even if no one challenges her tomorrow, she will take the initiative to attack.
Refuse the challenge and wait for Xie Lianzhen to work behind the scenes to push her to the rookie list? How is that different from giving in
…
Early the next morning, Tan Yubing knocked on her door.
The two had breakfast and went to the color shed together.
"My competition ended today." Tan Yubing said with a smile, "I don't know if anyone wants to take points from me."
In the past three days, Tan Yubing played a total of seven games, winning more than losing, accumulating 20 points.
She is in a good mood, open-minded, and doesn't mind.
"Uncle Tan, Junior Sister Lu, good morning!" Shao Zhengyang arrived early and smiled at the two of them.
Tan Yubing smiled: "Don't be too nervous, competing for rankings has always been seven points of strength and three points of luck, so play well."
Shao Zhengyang nodded, his expression still tense.
It was rare to see him like this, Lu Mingshu couldn't help laughing: "How sure is Brother Shao in today's battle?"
Shao Zhengyang smiled wryly and shook his head: "Thirty percent? No, it's probably only ten percent." He is very self-aware. Compared with Kou Wei and his group, his strength is still far behind. Don't appreciate this face.
"Since it's only 10%, what's there to be nervous about? Just pretend it's not."
The words were not pleasant, but Shao Zhengyang was right after thinking about it. A 10% chance is almost as good as none...
After talking a few gossips, when the time came, the bell rang and Lin Zixin came to the stage.
After the conversation, the opponents for the first round were announced: "Wei Chunqiu, the Qizhenguan, will challenge Qi Zining, a flying monk!"
After the shouting was over, low voices sounded from all the booths.
Wei Chunqiu! He was actually the first to play.
"The sharp blade is out of its sheath, showing its sharpness!" Kou Wei murmured. He felt Wei Chunqiu's determination to win the championship, it seemed that there must be a battle between himself and him.
"Flying monk Qi Zining, currently ranked second in points." On the side of Jiuyao Palace, Tan Yubing pointed to the list, "It's a good luck that he didn't challenge you."
Lu Mingshu nodded. That day when she was attacked at night by the county lord Jiayan, Wei Chunqiu appeared and said that if Qilin met her, he would be merciful. She didn't take this sentence seriously, but at present, it seems that Wei Chunqiu did what he said.
No matter how confident she was, Lu Mingshu knew that when she really met Wei Chunqiu, she didn't have much chance of winning.
Both of them went to the roof.
Qi Zining has gained a lot of limelight in the past few days. He has won consecutive battles and has only lost one game so far. Now facing Wei Chunqiu, his expression was very nervous, and he saluted twice before he finished speaking.
Wei Chunqiu didn't say a word of nonsense, just said "please", and immediately drew his sword.
Everyone saw that a faint sword light flashed by, and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of Qi Zining.
"What a fast sword!" Shao Zhengyang was taken aback.
In the generation of Jiuyao Palace, the fastest sword is Ban Qing. But Shao Zhengyang wasn't afraid of him, it didn't mean he could win with a quick sword, he had his own way to deal with Ban Qing. As for him and Ban Qing, it is true that his winning rate is slightly higher.
But seeing this sword, Shao Zhengyang had no idea at all. It was too fast, if it was him, it would not be enough to display the sword force.
"Keng!" In a hurry, Qi Zining raised his sword to block it, narrowly blocking the sword.
However, as soon as the sound of clashes came, Wei Chunqiu had already changed his tactics.
With the sword in his hand, he was the most nimble swimming fish, with a light swing, it brushed past Qi Zining's sword and swung towards his right arm.
Qi Zining didn't even have time to think, he acted entirely on instinct, shrank his body, and narrowly escaped.
One sword after another, Qi Zining managed to block five or six moves, and suddenly heard a "chi la", his back was cut, and he turned around quickly, but his wrist hurt, and the weapon had changed hands.
"Seven Truths, Wei Chunqiu wins!" Lin Zixin's voice came.
It wasn't until this time that the disciples watching the battle in the color shed woke up like a dream and applauded.
"It's amazing! Only a few tricks!"
"Yeah, I thought it must be very dazzling and gorgeous if a master fights, but I didn't expect..."
During the whole process, there were only a few dim sword lights, and Qi Zining lost.
"This is called turning back to simplicity!"
"I'm really looking forward to Kou Wei's appearance soon! It would be great if the two of them could play a game."
"It will definitely." The person who said this is very confident, "If they don't defeat the opponent, even if they become the leader with points, they will not be able to convince the crowd."
Yes, two strong opponents, if they don't defeat each other, how can they have the face to say that they are number one? Wei Chunqiu and Kou Wei have been on par for many years and have never fought against each other. This time we can finally see them show off.
On the side of Jiuyao Palace, Shao Zhengyang let out a sigh of relief: "I want to correct myself. If I want to enter the rookie list, my chance is not 10%, maybe not even half of it..."
In the previous primaries, the opponents were very simple, and it was unclear how strong Wei Chunqiu was. This Qi Zining, who was able to win so many games, has real materials, and he lost so easily against Wei Chunqiu.
Wei Chunqiu is so strong, what about Kou Wei who is as famous as him? And people like Yue Lingyin... The more Shao Zhengyang thought about it, the colder he became.
Turning his head to look, Lu Mingshu still had a calm expression on his face.
"Junior Sister Lu, what do you think?"
"It's very strong." Lu Mingshu said slowly, "I heard a sentence before, and I always thought it was too exaggerated. Now that I think about it, it's not unreasonable."
"What words?"
She spat out eight words: "Kung fu in the world is only fast."
UI? Both Shao Zhengyang and Tan Yubing savored silently in their hearts, thinking of Wei Chunqiu's performance, each had some experience.
"That's a really good sentence." Shao Zhengyang laughed at himself, "I used to think that Kuaijian was not difficult to deal with, is it because I have never seen a real Kuaijian?"
