"This kid..."
Chen Changsheng was a little surprised, and immediately his right hand showed great strength. The short stick stopped its tendency to move backwards, and began to counterattack, "Compare your strength with me? You are not qualified."
Chu Xiu grinned, and veins popped out of his right arm under his clothes, like a dragon in the angry sea. The violent force was instantly transmitted to the sword that was half wood and half ice.
The five fingers of Chen Changsheng's right hand holding the short stick tightened again and again, and his expression became fierce.
At this moment, he was very dissatisfied.
His footsteps and body remained motionless, and the short stick in his hand did not move back.
However, his short stick could not move forward at all.
The sword, which was half wood and half ice, was like a giant mountain that was too high to reach its top. He could not shake it.
The strength of both of them is constantly rising.
Tit for tat, both of them refused to give in.
There was silence both on and off the stage, everyone quietly watching the confrontation between the two men.
This kind of confrontation was not intense, but it attracted everyone's attention.
Even ordinary people who don't understand martial arts can see who has the upper hand.
"This kid is not simple." Some people who knew the inside story were mostly surprised, as if they had never expected that Chu Xiu could actually fight Chen Changsheng in a stalemate, even vaguely not losing.
"Why is this boy so strong?" Chen Changsheng's face turned pale.
His realm is very high, and his initial realm is naturally much broader and more solid than ordinary people.
This is like the foundation of a ten-thousand-foot-tall building, which is much wider and stronger than the foundation of a hundred-foot-tall building.
As the strongest person in the world, Chen Changsheng believed that he was invincible in every realm of the Nineteen States.
He has this belief and even more strength.
At this moment, he encountered an accident.
He has already felt where the limit of his initial state is... The Eight Extremes Heavenly Entrapment Spirit Array always reminds him of the maximum power he can exert in his initial state.
This so-called Eight Extremes Heavenly Entrapment Spirit Formation, of course, cannot imprison his realm and strength, but it can make him clearly feel how powerful and skillful he is, within the scope of the initial realm.
"Boy, if you compare your strength with me, you're still far behind." Chen Changsheng sneered, "It's better to admit defeat early, so as not to cry in embarrassment later."
"Is it still far behind?" Chu Xiu whispered, and then shouted, "Then double it."
After the words fell, the strength of his right hand increased sharply, and the sword energy overflowed from the half-wood and half-ice sword, pressing directly against the short stick.
Chen Changsheng's expression changed slightly. He held the short stick in his right hand and subconsciously increased his strength.
boom!
In an instant, Chu Xiu's figure flew back more than two feet.
"puff…"
At the same time, the disciples Tang Jiabao and Duanmu Yaoyao, who were sitting around the martial arts stage, both spat out a mouthful of blood uncontrollably, and their faces became pale and deflated.
"Master..." All the disciples in the back mountain were a little confused.
They knew exactly what had just happened.
Up and down the high platform, there was silence.
Chu Xiu stabilized his body, his pale face was slightly bloodshot, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
The opponent's sudden burst of power made him feel like he was facing a huge mountain.
"Is the gap so big?" Chu Xiu whispered.
Standing opposite him, Chen Changsheng's face was green and white, and his face was constantly changing.
The skill he used to defeat Chu Xiu just now far exceeded that of the first level.
In a sense, he actually lost the blow just now.
Some people who were familiar with the inside story had vaguely guessed this through Tang Jiabao and Duanmu Yaoyao's behavior of vomiting blood.
This kind of speculation made them tremble with fear.
People who don't know the inside story think that Chen Changsheng won a complete victory in this contest and Chu Xiu was completely at a disadvantage.
On Zhuque Street, the gamblers who had spent all their money to buy Chu Xiu's victory started wailing again, and some extreme gamblers had even begun to curse.
West side of Zhuque Street.
"Something's not right." The wine Taoist squinted his eyes and stared closely at Tang Jiabao and Duanmu Yaoyao who had just vomited blood.
Why did these two people vomit blood?
Could it be...
Thinking of some possibility, the wine Taoist's heart was beating fast and his eyes were wide open.
The old man surnamed Qin stared at Chu Xiu with a wonderful look in his eyes.
"He actually..."
The worry on Jiang Rou's face became more intense, "Xiao Xiu, are you okay?"
"It should be fine. This martial arts test is over. Even if Chen Changsheng is Dean Feng's junior, he should not break the rules." Xia Qingshan analyzed calmly.
Medicine King Mo Baicao smiled and said: "Don't underestimate Chu boy's body, let alone his potential."
The old man surnamed Qin was slightly startled. His heart moved. He glanced at Mo Baicao and asked, "Did King Mo Yao say that this kid hasn't tried his best?"
Mo Baicao smiled and said: "At least, the burden on him has not been lifted yet."
"That's true." The wine Taoist said with a chuckle, "This kid is very proud. When facing the enemy in the first level, he will never use all his strength within two or three moves."
"That would be more interesting." The old man surnamed Qin whispered, looking towards the martial arts stage, he could vaguely see Chen Changsheng's livid face, and he couldn't help but feel a bit strange in his heart.
On the gold and silver table.
Emperor Qian looked disappointed and had no hope for Chu Xiu.
Su Yuheng stood up, stared at the martial arts stage, and whispered: "According to the rules of the martial arts examination, the young master named Chu won."
"Who won?" Emperor Qian thought he was hallucinating.
Su Yuheng's beautiful face was full of solemnity, and he said: "The one named Chen Changsheng is indeed very strong, so powerful that he directly broke through the Eight Extremes Heavenly Entrapment Spirit Array hosted by a group of disciples from the back mountain.
But according to the rules of the martial arts test, Chu Xiu should have won. "
"Did Chu Xiu win?" Emperor Qian also stood up, with excitement on his face, "You mean, in the first battle, that person was not as good as Chu Xiu?"
Su Yuheng nodded slightly, "That's true."
"So, he is not invincible..." Emperor Qian clenched his fists, suppressed the excitement in his heart, resisted the urge to laugh wildly, and stared at the martial arts stage with burning eyes.
"If there is one Chu Xiu, there will definitely be a second and third Chu Xiu!"
"As long as it's not invincible."
Emperor Qian's whole body burst out with boundless confidence.
"Inexplicable." Su Yuheng glanced at Emperor Qian, shook his head secretly, and once again determined his plan to make three hundred thousand and run away.
Finally try the high platform.
The spectators who were familiar with the inside story were stunned for a moment when they saw Tang Jiabao and Duanmu Yaoyao vomiting blood. When they came to their senses and understood what was going on, they were all shocked and stunned beyond words.
By the end, most of them had strange looks in their eyes.
At the same time, the way they looked at Chu Xiu changed.
On the martial arts stage.
Chu Xiu calmed down, his expression returned to normal, his sword had been sheathed, and he was staring at Chen Changsheng with fear on his face.
"I still underestimated you." Chu Xiu whispered, reflecting.
Chen Changsheng's face was ashen and he was speechless.
Look down on?
Do you deserve it?
As soon as I thought about this, I thought of the huge force that the other party had just erupted, and for a moment, I was filled with depression.
He didn't want to admit it, but he couldn't deny it... In terms of strength alone, Chu Xiu was stronger than him in the first realm.
"I also underestimated you." Chen Changsheng said in a low voice, feeling extremely depressed in his heart.
"Next..." Chu Xiu held the hilt of the sword with his right hand and stared at Chen Changsheng, with a sharp look in his eyes, like the sharpest sword in the world, "I want to be serious."
"Your strength is indeed pretty good, but when it comes to swordsmanship..." Chen Changsheng sneered.
Before he finished speaking, afterimages appeared in his eyes.
Chu Xiu arrived in an instant, his sword that was half wood and half ice unsheathed and slashed straight down.
Chen Changsheng raised his stick indifferently.
Uh-huh.
The long sword in Chu Xiu's hand has been sheathed and has not come into contact with the short stick.
Chen Changsheng was startled, and then he saw Chu Xiu draw his sword again.
This time, the half-wood and half-ice sword was as sharp as a thunderbolt, and the sword light overflowed, shining like thunder in the sky.
Chen Changsheng saw the sword clearly, and he subconsciously raised the short stick again.
"Bang~."
There seemed to be a banging sound in the body, and the confining power of the Eight Extremes Enormous Entrapment Spirit Formation was shattered in an instant.
"Pfft~."
Tang Jiabao spit out a mouthful of blood again.
Chen Changsheng was startled.
Subconsciously, he used his skills beyond the initial level.
To be precise, it's speed.
Chen Changsheng blocked Chu Xiu's shocking sword.
"Isn't that enough?" Chu Xiu whispered, his figure retreating more than two feet.
Chen Changsheng did not pursue him. He stood there, dazed, and somewhat doubtful about his life.
The opponent's sword was actually at a speed that he could not reach in his initial state.
This was really unacceptable to Chen Changsheng.
He knew that even for himself, the strength and speed of the initial stage had limits.
But as the strongest person in the nineteen states in the world, his limit should be the height that everyone can only look up to.
But now there is a person who can break his limits and stand above his limits.
How can he accept this?
Chu Xiu glanced at Tang Jiabao, who was vomiting blood, and said coldly: "Disperse the formation. He and I have already exceeded our limits in the first realm. Your formation needs to be improved."
Tang Jiabao's face twitched slightly and he ignored him.
All the disciples in the back mountain were silent. They knew very well who had exerted the power above the first level.
"Continue." Chen Changsheng said coldly.
Chu Xiu took a deep breath and ignored Tang Jiabao and others. He had a solemn look on his face, and the fighting spirit in his eyes became more and more powerful. He whispered: "If I lose in the first realm, then my five Years of hard work, what’s the point?”
Chen Changsheng's face turned dark and he wanted to reply, "I have been cultivating for nearly two thousand years."
"I'm going to explode with all my strength." Chu Xiu held the collar with his right hand and pulled hard, and the clothes on his body were suddenly broken.
He was shaken slightly, and the 'arm guards' on his arms and legs all fell down, crushing the floor.
"Sword..." Chu Xiu hesitated for a moment and then dropped the wooden sword.
He was not a swordsman, although he had practiced sword-drawing for five years.
"You don't use a sword?" Chen Changsheng frowned.
Chu Xiu said: "Although I don't want to admit it, my sword can definitely cut off the short stick in your hand for the time being."
Chen Changsheng was silent for a moment.
If he hadn't exploded with power beyond the initial realm, this man might have really cut off the short stick.
Although, this short stick is also very unusual.
Chen Changsheng threw down the short stick casually, "You don't use a sword, and I don't use a stick either."
"That's very good." Chu Xiu grinned, strode forward, approached Chen Changsheng, jumped up suddenly, and struck out with a heavy punch.
boom!
Chen Changsheng raised his fist to fight back, and his fists collided together, causing a roar.
next moment.
Chu Xiu's body flew two feet upside down and landed firmly on the martial arts stage.
at the same time.
Tang Jiabao's face turned extremely red, and he closed his mouth tightly to prevent the blood from spurting out.
"This bastard..." Chen Changsheng cursed secretly, his face as black as iron, and he once again used the power beyond the initial level. .
"Come again!" Chu Xiu roared and rushed towards Chen Changsheng again, his flaming fist fierce as the sun.
boom!
There was another roar, and Chu Xiu's body fell back to its original position again.
