Imperial capital, Wu family.
In a short period of time, Wu Jinyan, Wu Sheng, and Wu Doushan died one after another, like a violent storm, hitting the blue bricks and red tiles of this mansion. Even the servants subconsciously made their footsteps softer when walking, for fear of offending their master who was in a bad mood.
On this day, a fast horse galloped over. He dismounted outside Wu's house, greeted a series of respectful salutes, and opened the door to the study room of his inner house.
Wu Douhai's gloomy expression dissipated as soon as he saw the person coming, and he stood up hurriedly, "Fan'er, why are you back?"
"Dad, I have heard about the matter between my second uncle, Wu Jinyan and Wu Sheng." Wu Fan's expression was calm, his eyes were cold, "I came back to dispel all rumors. The prestige and status of the Wu family do not allow any People are provoking!”
Wu Douhai felt happy in his heart, but there was a worried look on his face, "Fan'er, that Luo Guan was so powerful that he could outnumber your second uncle with a sword in front of him, and even killed Dou Shan directly when Elder Fang Yan stopped him, are you sure? "
Wu Fan smiled, with confidence in his eyes, "Dad, don't worry, I have understood the Sword Immortal Stone Tablet in the Baiyun Sect's secret realm. Although I have just entered the Sky Realm, I can kill people of the same level with one of my swords! The Imperial Martial Competition is coming soon , I will wash my sword with the blood of this person’s heart and hit the top ten!”
"Okay!" Wu Douhai laughed with a cheerful look on his face, "My Wu family has this Qilin son, so why worry about not being able to prosper? As a father, I will wait for you to become famous as an emperor!"
After Wu Fan left, Wu Douhai pondered for a moment, "Go and send the message. The Wu family has agreed to the plan. Let them start preparations."
"Yes, the head of the family!" There was a flash in the shadow, and the figure had left.
Wu Douhai looked cold, "Luo Guan, maybe you are indeed an unparalleled genius. In time, no one will be able to compete! But the Wu family will not give you a chance to grow up. This imperial martial arts competition is yours." Death time!”
Quietly, the Imperial Martial Academy's factions, led by Baiyun Sect, began to exert force, and undercurrents were already surging.
Luo Guan didn't know anything about all this. He was still in seclusion in the small courtyard, using the extremely rich spiritual power of heaven and earth to continuously improve his energy and blood. During this period, the Da Keqing enshrinement card of Tianshu Pavilion flashed twice on his body.
One was Xi Qiangwei's request for leave, saying that she would temporarily leave Tianshu Pavilion due to personal reasons, but if the guest on Yuanxi had any instructions, she would always obey the call.
Another time, Li Shitong left a very respectful message, saying that a high-level exchange meeting will be held within the Alchemist Association in the near future. The president has returned to the imperial capital and will host it in person. He hopes that the distinguished guests can attend.
Luo Guan only glanced at the first one, and he hesitated a little before replying with two words, "No time."
Not only because the Imperial Martial Arts Competition was approaching, Luo Guan was trying his best to pass the test and had no time to care, but also because he instinctively did not want to get too close to the Alchemy Master Association.
After all, he knows his personal situation personally, and his status as "big guest" is very important. The high-level exchange meeting is hosted by the president of the association himself. Who knows what surprises will happen?
It would be a lot of fun if they were exposed, so before he was strong enough to protect himself, Luo Guan decided to keep his distance from them unless necessary.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed.
Luo Guan finally received the message on his Imperial Martial Arts ID card, "Student Luo Guan, this year's Imperial Martial Arts Competition will start in two days. Please return to school as soon as possible. You must not be absent unless necessary!"
Putting away his identity card, Luo Guan's eyes flashed, there were still two days. The qi and blood in his body are now so rich that even a hundred ordinary hundred-year-olds cannot compare to it. Although the bottleneck in his practice is still there, he has great confidence that he can break through it!
Xuangui's voice sounded, "Boy, are you going to break through today?"
"No, wait one more day!" Luo Guan showed determination. He made this decision not only because he wanted to have one more day to prepare, but also to cut off his own retreat.
Tomorrow's breakthrough, he can only succeed and not fail!
Only when your faith is firm enough can you move forward courageously when faced with difficulties.
Soon, the last day arrives.
Luo Guan jumped out of the well and placed several fist-sized spiritual stones in front of him.
"Teacher, I'm going to start!"
Taking a deep breath, Luo Guan used all his strength to activate the sword technique of the Twelve Emperors of the Wilderness. The energy and blood in his body suddenly turned into a roaring torrent like a bursting river! They seem to be real turbulent waves, roaring and hitting the bottleneck of cultivation crazily.
Just take one step and you can achieve the Thousand Mountains Realm!
Click——
Click——
The tide of energy and blood rushes wildly, and the sound of the bottleneck embankment bursting seems to be heard in the ears, but it does not topple over, and is still pressing forward. The impact of the qi and blood tide will cause astonishing losses every time, and as time goes by, it will gradually show its decline. Even if Luo Guan tried his best to absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth from the outside world, he could not replenish the loss of energy and blood caused when he broke through the realm.
Without hesitation, Luo Guan opened his eyes and held two spiritual stones in his hands.
boom--
The high concentration of pure spiritual power of heaven and earth contained in the spirit stone was instantly injected into his body, and was absorbed by the physical body and transformed into qi and blood. Its absorption and transformation speed are too fast. Even if Luo Guan cultivates the eternal sword body and has the "furnace sword" to continuously temper his body, he still feels unbearable pain all over his body, and a large amount of sweat gushes out from his pores, mixed with dazzling blood.
"Break it for me!"
With a roar, a clear cracking sound came from Luo Guan's body. His breath stagnated slightly, and then surged wildly.
Breakthrough!
Luo Guan opened his eyes, and a trace of happiness flashed in his eyes. The road to the strongest martial arts was indeed not that easy to follow. If he hadn't prepared the spiritual stones in advance just in case, he might have failed.
But there is no such thing as practicing cultivation, he is now in the Thousand Mountains Realm!
Feeling the amazing energy and blood surging out from his limbs and bones in his body, Luo Guan smiled and felt even more high-spirited and confident!
In this imperial martial arts test, no matter who dares to stop him, he will be suppressed.
He is determined to win the top ten!
…
In a blink of an eye, it’s already the day of the competition!
The atmosphere in the Imperial Martial Arts Academy was tense. Countless Imperial Martial Arts students were gearing up, striving to submit satisfactory results for the previous year's hard training today.
On the Star Reaching Tower, several people stood leaning on the railings, their eyes scanning the crowd below, their eyebrows filled with pride. And they are now on the eighth floor. They are at least among the top thirty in the last Imperial Martial Competition, so they naturally have enough qualifications to be proud of.
Suddenly, a burst of movement came from below. Several people turned around and saw Wu Fan, who looked calm, stepping onto the eighth floor.
"As expected, you are back!" The burly man's eyes shone slightly, and his face showed excitement. "Wu Fan, you are in seclusion in Baiyun Sect. You did not participate in the last Imperial Martial Competition. I am deeply sorry. You will definitely be the winner when you return this time." The strength has greatly increased, and we are going to hit the top ten."
"Then let you and I have a good fight!"
boom--
He didn't take action, but just the flow of energy was like a big mountain, making people feel depressed.
Wu Fan frowned slightly. It seemed that these terrifying opponents did not stop when he moved forward. However, isn't this what he enjoys, the joy of practicing? Walking alone on the road is lonely. There must always be opponents to inspire enough fighting spirit!
Of course, Wu Fan is always confident that these opponents will eventually be stepped on by him and become a stepping stone for him to reach higher levels.
Kong Yue, I will fight with you, but only after clearing the stain on the Wu family. "
"Are you referring to the boy named Luo Guan?" Kong Yue thought for a moment, then showed disdain, "Although he killed Wu Jiaoxi, he obviously used it, and it was a very depleted trump card. Whether it can be restored is still open to question... ...This person is definitely no match for you!"
"He's not even qualified to walk in front of you, so how can he fight with you?"
Wu Fan said lightly: "Maybe."
A cold light flashed in his eyes!
Wu Fan, the number one genius of the Wu family and ranked twenty-fourth in the last two imperial martial arts competitions, has returned from seclusion in the Baiyun Sect and will participate in this imperial martial arts competition.
The news spread from the Star Picking Tower, like a huge stone falling into the lake, causing waves of chaos!
Anyone with a discerning eye would have guessed that when Wu Fan broke through the barriers, he must be aiming at the top ten of the Imperial Martial Arts, and he wanted to become the genius who surpassed everyone.
In the Imperial Martial Arts Academy, some after-dinner chats about the Wu family suddenly disappeared, and everyone was amazed and in awe.
"It's true that Wu Fan is here to win the Imperial Martial Arts Competition among the top ten, but I'm afraid he also wants to revive the Wu family's reputation, which has been greatly damaged recently!"
"That Luo Guan may really have unparalleled swordsmanship, but after all, he entered the school too late and still needs time to accumulate and grow. Now he is definitely no match for Wu Fan. If I were him, I would choose to stop and not show off my talents in this imperial martial arts competition."
"Hmph! Having said that, the Wu family and Baiyun Sect are not trustworthy men and women. Even if Luo Guan intends to avoid fighting, he may not be able to avoid it!"
"That's right, I heard that Wu Fan has already announced in the Star Reaching Tower that he will kill Luo Guan first and then compete for ranking!"
For a time, rumors abounded.
At this moment, Luo Guan came to the Imperial Martial Academy and could clearly feel that many eyes fell on him, showing sympathy and pity.
Frowning secretly, Luo Guan knew something must have happened, but he didn't reveal it on the surface. He came to the registration office of the competition, completed the information confirmation and was about to leave. Wang Sun grabbed him and took him to a corner.
Zou Shanshan looked unnatural, glanced at him, and looked away.
Zhang Tieniu is tall and tall, standing like a wall. With a fierce grin, his evil aura disappears, making him look harmless, "Junior Brother Luo, don't be afraid, Senior Brother will protect you!"
"You idiot, Junior Brother Luo is being bullied, so you're going to give it up." Tao Ye rolled his eyes and smiled again, "Junior Brother Luo, you will definitely get a lot of college points in this competition. Then we will go to the Star Building. How about a meal? I've got the menu ready!
"Junior Brother Tao!" Wang Sun frowned and shouted, "How long has it been and you are still in the mood to fool around? Junior Brother Luo, something bad has happened. Wu Fan has returned from seclusion in Baiyun Sect and threatened to do harm to you..."
Yitongbabala, the number one genius of the Wu family, he was ranked 24th in the last two competitions, but now he is stronger, aiming to be in the top ten.
Luo Guan finally understood what those eyes were about, but his expression was calm.
Before, Wu Fan, who was ranked 24th in the Imperial Martial Competition, might have been a bit tricky, but now Luo Guan has broken through the Thousand Mountains Realm and his strength has skyrocketed again.
What can this person do?
