"No!"
Duke Tuoba Yunhan of Qin also smiled and said:
"The winner will be decided soon."
So everyone turned their attention to the high platform.
Liu Xin and Huangfu Rongjiang discovered the strength of each other's defensive skills at the same time.
Ever since, the two of them chose to attack each other.
Otherwise, if they just rely on their skills, the two of them will continue to fight for who knows how long.
Only by constant confrontation can the winner be determined quickly.
Both of them had the same idea in mind. This was not a battle between two people. The winner would have to compete in the next round.
So this round actually doesn’t reveal too many trump cards.
Otherwise, you will be giving others an advantage.
At the same time, because each of them has powerful defensive skills, they simply use this simpler method to determine the outcome.
However, Huangfu Rongjiang would never admit that he was weaker than Liu Xin, not only because he was higher in cultivation than Liu Xin.
If you can't beat this, it's a shame.
Secondly, he also has his own pride. As the strongest member of the younger generation of the Huangfu family, if he loses, the entire Huangfu family will be looked down upon.
So what he shoulders is not one person, but a family.
As Huangfu Rongjiang continued to increase the strength of his punches, Liu Xin's body began to retreat continuously.
In the eyes of the spectators, the current confrontation between the two was really terrifying.
The two of them couldn't dodge each other's fists at all.
The roaring sound of bang bang bang kept ringing.
With Huangfu Rongjiang's continuous exertion, Liu Xin was gradually forced to retreat to the corner of the high platform.
Although everyone in the stands thought that Liu Xin was already at a disadvantage.
But only Huangfu Rongjiang knew that he seemed to be the one who was really at a disadvantage now.
Although he kept pushing Liu Xin back, the force coming from the opponent's hand did not weaken at all.
The opponent is retreating, just trying to take more power out of his fist.
When Huangfu Rongjiang discovered this, he had no way to make changes. He had to rush forward and try to rely on this momentum to force Liu Xin to leave the high platform. In this way, he would be considered a victory.
It's a pity that Liu Xin is destined not to go as he wishes.
Just two or three steps away from the edge of the high platform, Liu Xin suddenly exerted force.
[Lightweight swan goose body]
The light body appeared, and Huangfu Rongjiang punched the opponent directly.
The part of Liu Xin's figure hit by his fist was illusory for a while and then suddenly disappeared.
In Huangfu Rongjiang's perception, Liu Xin had come to his side.
He kicked Huangfu Rongjiang directly in the waist and abdomen, causing Huangfu Rongjiang's muscles to tighten. Internal energy surged out, and he reacted instantly, turning sideways to avoid the kick.
However, the next moment Huangfu Rongjiang's eyes suddenly froze, because he saw that the figure of Liu Xin who was kicking towards his waist and abdomen was also a little unreal.
"Fell into a trap!"
Huangfu Rongjiang really didn't expect Liu Xin to be so fast, and he pulled out two afterimages in succession.
Even the movements of this second afterimage are extremely flexible. At the same time, there is a strong wind blowing towards the face, and the perception is that this is a living person.
But I didn't expect that such an existence would still be an afterimage.
So where is Liu Xin's true identity?
"It's interesting. The winner of this competition has been decided."
Duke Tuoba Yunhan of Qin put his palms down and laughed.
And Liu Xin's figure reappeared on the high platform.
It was as if he had never left here just now.
At this time, Huangfu Rongjiang's body had turned to one side, and he seemed not to notice Liu Xin.
This is actually another wonderful use of the power of the stars.
Cover up your breath!
If you use all the power converted from the power of the stars, which is similar to the internal force, you can not only increase the power of the technique, but also hide your own aura to confuse others.
When Liu Xin discovered the use of the power of the stars, he approached Fang Zihang to discuss the secrets of concealing breath movements.
Because the skills that Fang Zihang is good at happen to be the top skills for concealing the aura of body movements, and he has rich experience in this field.
And Liu Xin's strong learning talent also allowed him to quickly master the trick of hiding his aura.
At this moment, Liu Xin used his light body to confuse Huangfu Rongjiang, thus creating this fleeting opportunity.
Liu Xin directly launched a fierce attack on Huangfu Rongjiang.
Huangfu Rongjiang's body was constantly covered with golden ripples, and his back was being attacked by Liu Xin.
Due to the gap between the two sides' physical skills, Huangfu Rongjiang could not catch any figure of Liu Xin at all.
He couldn't even turn around and face the enemy head on.
At this moment, Huangfu Rongjiang didn't feel that he was aggrieved.
Instead, there were more questions about where the pervert Liu Xin came from.
Let’s not talk about the top skills. The value of the top body skills is far higher than the top skills.
It can be seen that now he can't catch Liu Xin's shadow no matter what.
And the top defensive skills are even more rare to see on top of the top body skills.
His Huangfu family had the favor of Emperor Kangyang and personally taught them the exercises.
But in fact, this method also has great restrictions.
Just because his Huangfu family can only have three members in the same generation at most, people with this defensive skill can see that although the emperor treats the Huangfu family differently, he still views his subordinates from the emperor's perspective.
Even a family as loyal to the royal family as the Huangfu family still cannot gain 100% of the emperor's trust.
However, Liu Xin not only possesses top body skills, top skills, and even top defensive skills.
But his identity is just the nephew of a Jinyiwei Baihu.
When did one Jin Yiwei become so rich and terrifying?
If this was the case, he, Huangfu Rongjiang, might as well become a member of a noble family.
But this kind of thing can only be said in the heart, and it can only be said at this aggrieved moment.
Huangfu Rongjiang still felt proud of being a descendant of the Huangfu family.
The situation is now clear.
The top martial arts and top defensive techniques between the two sides are actually enough to offset the gap between the two.
However, the purity of Huangfu Rongjiang's internal energy at the middle-grade Dacheng realm was actually on par with Liu Xin's.
Huangfu Rongjiang could feel that he had no advantage at all when he and Liu Xin's internal forces collided.
It can only show that the purity of the opponent's internal energy is on par with his.
This is actually something that makes him very strange.
Liu Xin was obviously only in the low-level Dacheng realm, how could he compress his internal energy to such a pure level.
You must know that Huangfu Rongjiang has been practicing since he could walk.
It took me more than twenty years of practice to achieve what I am today.
This was achieved without falling day and night, without even the slightest pause.
This is also the reason why he can dominate the same level.
However, now he can only be chased and beaten by Liu Xin.
"Stop! I give up!"
Suddenly Huangfu Rongjiang made a decision. He used all his strength to repel Liu Xin, and then raised his hands to admit defeat.
Liu Xingyan also stopped his offensive and even dispersed the [Fudo Myooh] on his body.
If he were facing someone like Guande, he would definitely concentrate on preventing the other party from sneaking up on him.
But for Huangfu Rongjiang, Liu Xin trusted him very much.
Regardless of other people's opinions, there was already a burst of disbelieving exclamations from under the high platform.
Huangfu Rongjiang, who was in the middle-grade Dacheng realm, actually voluntarily admitted defeat.
What's happening here?
Even though both of them are capable of hitting the top four.
But when these two people stand together, most people are still optimistic about Huangfu Rongjiang.
This has nothing to do with Huangfu Rongjiang's identity, but purely because Huangfu Rongjiang's cultivation level is a higher level than Liu Xin's.
"Liu Xin, I am convinced that I lost.
I didn't expect that I would be completely frustrated by someone my own age, or even someone younger than me.
But that doesn’t mean I admit that I’m not as good as you.
The battle on the competition stage is not a life and death fight after all.
If it were on the battlefield..."
"If it were on the battlefield, I would defeat you."
Before Huangfu Rongjiang could finish speaking, Liu Xin pushed back Huangfu Rongjiang's last words.
Huangfu Rongjiang looked at the confident look on Liu Xin's face and couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.
Once upon a time, such a confident look would only appear on his face.
But now if you lose, you lose. If you let the other party pretend for a while, you will also let the other party pretend for a while.
If I try to regain my respect now, not only will it not have any effect, it will also make myself even more embarrassed.
"In the first round, Liu Xin wins!"
Zhu Ying's eyes flashed with displeasure, but he didn't expect that Liu Xin would win.
But this does not affect his plan.
He jumped up and came to the high platform. Although he was wearing armor and his body was more than 50% heavier than before, he still climbed up the high platform as light as a bird.
Liu Xin glanced at him without any trace.
Wearing armor, he is able to do so easily and freely, and he is also a character with top-notch physical skills.
Such a person is definitely not a small role.
Liu Xin had a vague guess in his heart.
But if the other party's family background is really as he guessed, then this imperial military commander is not good at running a family...
However, it is normal for a character like this to be a little slack in things at home.
Following Zhu Ying's announcement, everyone in the audience was completely shocked.
After all, most of the people who can still stand under the high platform at this time are military figures.
In their hearts, Huangfu Rongjiang represents them to a certain extent.
What I didn't expect was that Huangfu Rongjiang lost in the first game of the first round.
This made several young military men among the remaining fourteen people feel even more pressure.
If this was originally a Zhengyang martial arts competition targeting the military, by the time it reached the top four, there would not even be a single person from the military.
Then they can already imagine themselves returning home and being drenched in saliva by their parents.
As for Huang Linxian, although his master is the chief instructor of the Forbidden Army, he does not hold any official position himself.
Although he had taken a false position in order to participate in the Zhengyang Martial Arts Competition, everyone knew what was going on.
If in the end there is not even one person from the real military among the top four, we may have to deceive ourselves and others and regard Huang Linxian as a junior in the military.
Of course, if Liu Xin can continue to win, it doesn't seem impossible.
But the chance that Liu Xin can continue to break through is not high.
Dugu Xuanqing's strength is mysterious, and his full power has never been displayed in front of everyone.
In the duel between Liu Xin and Huangfu Rongjiang, it seemed that all his cards had been revealed.
Although others knew about Liu Xin's trump cards, there was no way to deal with them.
But Dugu Xuanqing is different. He knows all your trump cards, which is equivalent to having an advantage for him.
And if the person who hopes to face Dugu Xuanqing in the second round can force out the former's trump card, that is really a bit wishful thinking.
"In the next round, Dugu Xuanqing will face off against Ning Yi!"
As Zhu Ying finished speaking, two people appeared on the high platform.
Ning Yi!
Only then did Liu Xin know that it was Ning Yi who was facing off against Dugu Xuanqing.
He was a little distracted before and didn't notice who was facing off against Dugu Xuanqing.
"The one who originally faced off against Dugu Xuanqing was not Ning Yi!"
Huangfu Rongjiang seemed to see the surprise in Liu Xin's eyes, came to his side and explained.
"Not Ning Yi? Then how could he..."
"He asked for it."
"Is this okay?"
"Of course. If you want to fight a weak person, of course it won't go as you wish. If you challenge a strong person, it is allowed by the rules."
"So Ning Yi took the initiative to exchange with Dugu Xuanqing's original opponent.
What is his purpose? "
Liu Xin actually had an answer in his mind, but the question had already been asked and Huangfu Rongjiang answered calmly.
"Because whether you or I win, we will face Dugu Xuanqing later.
And his original opponent was not strong enough to consume much of Dugu Xuanqing's energy, let alone force out his trump card.
So Ning Yi decided to sacrifice himself and go on his own. "
"But can he do it?"
"..."
Huangfu Rongjiang turned his head and glanced at Liu Xin, are you really okay with saying this?
"If Ning Yi thinks about it, it's still possible to win!"
Liu Xin looked at Ning Yi on the high platform, who was holding a long spear in his hand. To him, this was the most familiar weapon of all.
If he didn't use weapons, he would have no chance at all.
Just like Liu Xin said.
He didn't offer himself purely to go up there.
In order to consume Dugu Xuanqing's power, he forced out the opponent's trump card.
He actually wants to win.
Although he did not have the confidence to win, he had the courage to fight Dugu Xuanqing.
That's enough.
"Old Ning, your son's luck doesn't seem to be good."
A veteran said to Old Monster Ning.
Old Monster Ning didn't even pay attention to this man. His attention was now on his son on the high platform in the distance.
“Ning Yi’s original opponent was not Dugu Xuanqing.
He chose to fight Dugu Xuanqing on his own. "
A veteran general specifically asked a general serving at the side, and then said.
This general was left by Zhu Ying to help several veteran generals clear up their doubts.
After all, for this group of veterans, many of these younger generations are unfamiliar to them.
And they don’t know the specific situation of the previous rounds.
Therefore, one person needs to be left behind to explain to them at any time.
"I see, Xiao Ning is quite brave.
The Luoshen family has dominated the art of marksmanship for hundreds of years.
It is not easy to dare to raise a gun in front of the other party's children. "
Another veteran let out a sigh.
"Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second.
The Luoshen family's Luoshen marksmanship is indeed unparalleled in the world.
But if you want to say that this mere young junior can do anything with Luo Shen's marksmanship, I won't believe it! "
Another person expressed a different view.
The two veterans then started talking and glaring.
Without saying a few words, the two of them started to make moves.
Duke Qin glanced at Old Monster Ning.
"Xiao Ning, this kid, deserves a lot of hard work.
You think very well of him, he is among their peers. Although he is also a leader, there is already a big gap between him and Huangfu Rongjiang.
You don’t want them to drift apart in the future. "
Old Monster Ning was startled and turned to look at Qin Guogong.
They were best friends who grew up together and fought together on the battlefield.
But because Old Monster Ning dotes on his wife, he doesn't want her to suffer the pain of giving birth.
It took him until he was forty years old to finally give birth to Ning Yi, but his wife died in childbirth.
Therefore, Old Monster Ning has always been very doting on Ning Yi. He also had a dispensable attitude toward his practice.
After all, with his net worth, it would not be difficult to give him lifelong wealth.
However, Ning Yi is a child who wants to make progress, and under such circumstances, Ning's excessive care has actually hindered him.
It's just that it's hard for people inside and outside to say much about this matter.
"I also know that I have delayed Ning Yi's child too much, but I just can't bear to do it."
"Then you should watch carefully and see how much your son wants to restore your glory and become the pride of your Ning family.
You rose up after getting married, and even gave up your own name because of it, and you were called "Old Wei Ning" all your life.
Do you still want your son to be called Ning Xiaoer for the rest of his life? "
"What! Who dares to call my son Ning Xiaoer!"
When Old Monster Ning heard this, he stood up immediately, his energy exploding all over his body. He turned out to be an extremely high-level master of the Great Perfection Realm!
Duke Qin stood up as well, and almost at the same moment, a burst of internal force surged out, blocking Old Monster Ning's Qi attack.
The two people's internal energy was about the same level of purity, but Qin Guogong's Qi was more majestic, while Ning's was like a sharp hidden weapon that was held tightly but never released.
Everyone looked sideways.
"Calm down! Do you want to expose us?"
Qin Guogong said solemnly, and put a big hand on Old Monster Ning's body. The latter's eyes were red, as if he had met an enemy.
"Tell me, who dares to call my precious son Ning Xiaoer!"
"I'm done with you, I made this up, sit down now!"
Duke Qin shook his head helplessly. Seeing that Old Monster Ning obviously didn't believe it, he had no choice but to swear to God, and then he calmed Old Monster Ning down.
At this time, old geek Ning turned his attention to the high platform again.
Dugu Xuanqing's marksmanship was extremely exquisite, and every blow hit the weak spot of Ning Yi's marksmanship.
After firing hundreds of shots, he was unable to force the opponent back even one step. Ning Yi could only take two steps back and dropped his spear directly from the high platform.
At this time, everyone in the audience faintly saw that Ning Yi was wearing cyan armor gloves on his hands.
