Chapter ninety-eight, battle with Yuan Renfeng
On the second day, when the clock was about to expire, Qingshi came to the No. 1 arena on the east side of the central square. This was the largest battle arena in the academy. The battle between Qingshi and Yuan Renfeng was arranged here.
There is already a sea of people outside the ring. Yuan Renfeng has been ranked first in the inner court rankings for two consecutive years. This year, he is naturally the number one candidate.
Qingshi is not really a nobody in the academy, but he is not well-known, and his fame comes from the formation, alchemy and connections. Many people know that he has a close relationship with Shen Feiyun, Chen Tianye, Duan Wutian and other big guys. .
However, not many people knew that Qingshi's martial arts skills were so good, and it was very easy to defeat Qu Hainan. And today he challenges Yuan Renfeng, which is even more incredible. Of course, not many people are optimistic about him.
The college naturally has betting odds, and Zhang Hao is the banker of one of the two major betting odds.
However, Zhang Hao did not open the market for this game. On the contrary, he bought a thousand high-grade spiritual stones in another market to bet on the blue stone, which was the highest bet allowed by the academy.
The odds of this gambling match are five to one. If Qingshi wins, you can win 4,000 high-grade spiritual stones by buying him. The thought of this Hao makes him excited.
The ones who won by buying bluestones were Chen Tianye and Duan Wutian. They also bought a thousand high-grade spiritual stones. Of course, there were also some who won by buying bluestones, such as Duan Xiaoyu and Shen Jiayun. But in general, buying Yuan Renfeng won. I don’t know how many times more.
The person controlling this gambling market is Jin Yulong from the Martial Arts High Court, known as Boss Jin, and the fourth prince of Jianshan Kingdom.
When Qingshi arrived, Yuan Renfeng had also just arrived. The two of them had known each other, so they nodded to each other and walked side by side toward the stage, and the crowd automatically made way for a passage.
Yuan Renfeng is a typical martial arts idiot. In terms of obsession, he is even more obsessed than Duan Wutian. However, his temperament is completely different from Duan Wutian. Duan Wutian is bold and uninhibited and has a fiery personality, while Yuan Renfeng is gloomy, restrained, and calm. Like ice.
In the ring, the referee is Elder Wang Hui, the head of the inspection department of the college, and the supervisor is Qingshi's old acquaintance Zheng Fangyi, now the deputy inspector. Elder Wang waited for the two to stand opposite each other before giving an order and announcing the start of the game.
Yuan Renfeng and Qingshi moved at the same time. Yuan Renfeng moved very quickly. He kicked off his left foot and rushed towards Qingshi. He reached forward with his right hand and stabbed Qingshi with a long sword filled with strong coldness.
Qingshi stepped back, blocked the incoming sword with the long sword in his hand, and then struck back with a diagonal thrust of the sword.
Both of them use swords. Qingshi uses the light-chasing sword to perform the mysterious sword technique. The light-chasing sword has wind attributes, but the mysterious sword technique is pure swordsmanship. Therefore, Qingshi's sword technique does not highlight the wind attribute characteristics.
Yuan Renfeng's sword carried a chill, and Qingshi immediately judged that he was using a Yin attribute sword technique.
Yuan Renfeng's sword speed became faster and faster, and his sword moves became more and more tricky. At the same time, a chill quietly enveloped the entire arena. As Yuan Renfeng's sword moves became sharper, the chill became heavier and heavier.
In the audience, several students who are familiar with Yuan Renfeng all know that this is the ice field formed by Yuan Renfeng's Yin attribute energy. Although it is an auxiliary martial skill, once the opponent falls into the ice field, he will lose strength, speed, and agility. He was limited in all aspects, but he himself gained in all aspects.
This is Yuan Renfeng's most powerful martial skill. Combined with the Great Cold Sword Technique performed by the Xuan-level high-grade Yin-attribute Guanghan Sword, no student has ever been able to withstand a hundred moves against him.
Yuan Renfeng has the strongest move right from the start, which shows that he attaches great importance to Qingshi. After twenty moves, Qingshi indeed began to retreat step by step, and the sword in his hand seemed to become sluggish, less offensive and more defensive.
As Yuan Renfeng pressed forward step by step, Qingshi also retreated step by step, seemingly unable to resist. Most people felt that the battle might end with Qingshi's defeat at any time.
However, after another twenty moves, the situation was still the same. Qingshi retreated without chaos, and was at a disadvantage without appearing defeated. After another twenty moves, the situation was still the same.
Soon the hundred moves passed, and some knowledgeable people finally saw some clues. Although Qingshi had been retreating and defending, his sword seemed clumsy and skillful, and there was no sign of failure in blocking and parrying. On the contrary, Yuan Renfeng was eager to ask for help. After a fierce pursuit and a hundred moves, he was already exhausted from having consumed too much energy.
In the crowd, as time went by, Jin Yulong's originally excited expression gradually turned a little doubtful. After the hundred moves were over, he realized that something was wrong, and couldn't help but said to himself: "It's not good! It's not good. !”
"Wonderful! Indescribably wonderful!" A strange voice sounded beside him.
"Who the hell is gloating?" Jin Yulong was furious, "Who is it?"
In the blink of an eye, it was Chen Tianye who lowered his head and smiled in apology, "Oh, Senior Brother Chen! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm a fucking hen and I didn't see you, old man, I'm always apologizing to you, please forgive me!"
Chen Tianye stroked his moustache and said: "Ignorance is not a crime. Just don't lose my spirit stone in a while!"
"Me too!" Another majestic voice sounded.
Jin Yulong turned around and saw that it was Duan Wutian. He couldn't help but said, "Brother Duan Qi, did you win by buying bluestone?"
"That's right!" Duan Wutian looked at the battle on the stage and said, "You can win by buying a bluestone with a thousand high-grade spiritual stones."
Jin Yulong glanced at the stage, smiled bitterly and said to Duan Wutian: "Brother Qi, you are cruel! No wonder that boy Zhang Hao doesn't open the market! By the way, that little bastard named Wang Xiaotian is Zhang Hao's follower, right? I said this little boy How come you are so rich that you dare to spend a thousand high-grade spiritual stones to buy bluestones to win!"
"Yes, yes!" Zhang Hao emerged from behind Duan Wutian and said with a smile, "Boss Jin has a good eye, Wang Xiaotian, my new little brother, a fellow from Qingshi."
"You..." Jin Yulong burst into tears with grief and anger, "You don't have to surround me like this! Are you afraid that I will run away?"
"What the hell!" Zhang Haopi said with a smile, "We just want to get the bet quickly, you know? In order to collect these one thousand high-grade spiritual stones, I spent a lot of money! "
"That's right," another little man squeezed in from the side and said, "I only borrowed loan sharks to get a thousand high-grade spiritual stones!" It was Ji Yujia, who was known as the 'Invincible Xiao Ji'.
Looking at Xiao Ji with an excited face, Jin Yulong was speechless for a moment.
Xiao Ji and other people were talking, but their eyes were looking at the arena, concerned about the changes in the situation on the stage.
One hundred and fifty moves later, Yuan Renfeng finally realized that Qingshi was not at all defeated, and thought to himself: He is deliberately trying to make me consume my energy. This is his established tactic.
In fact, Yuan Renfeng's guess was wrong. Qingshi did not have any specific established tactics. The reason why he did this was all the result of adapting to circumstances.
Qingshi mainly wanted to see the power of the Ice Domain. Now he knew that all the attributes contained in any domain-type martial arts had no effect on his own Five Elements True Qi.
Therefore, Yuan Renfeng's ice domain cannot affect the performance of his strength, speed, agility and other skills at all, and it cannot even make Qingshi feel cold.
It is easy for Qingshi to defeat Yuan Renfeng. A few years ago when he was still in the Qi Condensing Realm, Ou Changzhi said that once Qingshi enters the Qi Condensing Realm, he will be the first person below the Yuan Dan Realm in the academy.
But now, Qingshi has reached the Great Perfection of Qi Condensation Realm like Yuan Renfeng. He has at least four ways to defeat Yuan Renfeng within three to a hundred moves.
Qingshi wanted to continue testing Yuan Renfeng's limits, but Yuan Renfeng changed his tactics. He no longer attacked with all his strength, nor did he maintain his domain martial arts with all his strength. Apparently, he also found that his domain martial arts had no effect on Qingshi.
Seeing that Yuan Renfeng had no more powerful killing moves, Qingshi let out a slight whistle and began to counterattack. Xuan Renshu stabbed Yuan Renfeng with a sword as fast as a sword. Only then did Yuan Renfeng feel the terrifying power of Qingshi's swordsmanship, and he quickly gritted his teeth to defend with all his strength.
However, Qingshi's sword was too fast. Yuan Renfeng hurriedly blocked ten moves without being able to fight back. While he was panicking, Qingshi's eleventh sword suddenly slowed down. Yuan Renfeng did not need to panic when he resisted this sword.
The two swords intersected, and Yuan Renfeng suddenly felt an irresistible tenacity wrapped around his long sword, and then pulled it outward. For a moment, he could not control this force at all, and the long sword flew out diagonally from his hand, towards Drop outside the ring.
Zheng Fanyi stretched out his hand to catch the long sword. Yuan Renfeng stood blankly on the spot. The blue stone gently floated back two steps, sheathed the sword and stood still.
Yuan Renfeng's face turned red, and the pride in his heart prevented him from accepting the fact of defeat. After a while, he suppressed his disappointment and murmured: "If it is not a competition, if it is a life and death fight, I may not lose to you!"
Qingshi didn't seem to hear, and just said lightly: "I accept the concession."
Elder Wang looked at Yuan Renfeng in surprise and shook his head in disappointment. Then he announced loudly: "Qingshi wins!"
There was a commotion in the audience.
Zheng Fanyi took two steps forward, handed the sword back to Yuan Renfeng, and said calmly: "If it were a life and death fight, you would have died long ago."
If Qingshi defeated Yuan Renfeng, he would naturally be number one on the Dragon and Tiger list. Wu Qinghan, Qi Yu and Xin Ruohua, who were originally going to challenge Yuan Renfeng, would naturally no longer arrange a battle with Yuan Renfeng, because Yuan Renfeng has now become ninth.
After Yuan Renfeng was defeated, he disappeared and never appeared in front of everyone again. He neither challenged him nor anyone challenged him. There is no one who challenges Qingshi.
Three days passed quickly, and this year's ranking on the Dragon and Tiger Rankings was decided. Qingshi was first, Wu Qinghan was second, Qi Yu was third, and Shen Binghong rose to sixth place.
Unsurprisingly, Qingshi then took part in the martial arts high school assessment and passed with first place. Eleven others including Wu Qinghan, Qi Yu, and Xin Ruohua, Lin Ling and Yuan Renfeng also passed the assessment.
All of them have completed their college semester within six years, and it is natural for them to be admitted to the higher college. The remaining three in the top ten of the Dragon and Tiger list are all first-year students. All three of them also applied for the high school examination, but two of them failed. The one who passed was Shen Binghong.
In addition to the seven of them, there are four more who have passed the high school examination. Two are sophomores and one is a first-year student in the inner martial arts academy. This first-year student is called Zhou Tianyi, a disciple of the Zhou family, one of the six major families in Chaoge, and his talent is considered to be no worse than Duan Xiaoyu. The last one was Tang Zui from the inner courtyard of the formation.
