Although Qing Xiao and Zi Yan had already said before that Lu Yuan was the focus of the peaks this time, Zhao Linglong still wanted to confirm it.
"From what we have seen so far, if there had not been the last match with Tian Qi, Taiping might have had a 30-40% chance, but now, I'm afraid there is no 20% chance."
Dugu Qingxiao said solemnly.
This was his judgment based on Xu Taiping's performance last time and what he knew about Lu Yuan's cultivation strength.
"Taiping's luck is really bad."
Zi Yan also nodded at this time and sighed softly.
"This Lu Yuan, we Liufeng have been observing him for a long time. Although he has a white spirit bone, but relying on his family's financial resources, he has never stopped using various spiritual herbs and pills since he was a child, and his cultivation level has now reached the level of the Open Door Realm. . And the Fierce Sun Sword he practiced is a martial arts secret that is rarely passed down from his family. You must know that Tian Qi’s ghost kick can only be regarded as a martial arts."
She went on to explain.
As soon as Zhao Linglong heard this, the look of worry on her face immediately became stronger.
"Don't think too much. Based on Taiping's performance just now, I can persuade Master to connect him to Qifeng."
Qingxiao comforted Zhao Linglong.
"Then wouldn't Xiao Taiping's three years of hard work be in vain?"
Zhao Linglong looked at the young man standing in front of the sign in the bronze mirror, her eyes full of regret.
"Brother, have you seen the scars on his arms? If you look closely, the new scars are stacked on top of the old ones. They must be injuries sustained during these years of cultivation."
"For him to be able to practice an ordinary Qingniu Boxing to that extent, he must have spent a lot of effort, and all he wants is to become a formal disciple."
"And just because he is just a skeleton, and because he has no family background, three years of hard work and hard work will be in vain. Isn't it too unfair to him?"
At the end of her words, Zhao Linglong bit her lip and turned to look at Dugu Qingxiao.
If she hadn't seen Xu Taiping's competition before, she might have thought that bringing him to Qifeng would be the best choice. But at this moment, when she thought that the countless efforts this young man had spent in the past three years were about to be in vain, she felt a strong sense of unwillingness in her heart.
If she is like this, let alone Xu Taiping himself?
But Zhao Linglong certainly didn't know that what she saw in Xu Taiping was just the tip of the iceberg that Xu Taiping had endured in the past three years.
"I don't think he's going to lose."
At this moment, Lin Buyu, who had been silent from beginning to end, suddenly spoke.
Hearing this, several people looked at her in surprise.
"Buyu, why did you say that suddenly?"
Zi Yan looked at Lin Buyu with some confusion.
Sometimes she really couldn't figure out what was going on in her little junior sister's mind.
"intuition."
Lin Buyu looked at the three of them with an indifferent expression, and then continued to cast his gaze on the bronze mirror.
She still clearly remembers the scene when the young man from the Red Maple Forest fell from the sky and punched the demonic tiger.
In his opinion, a young man who has the courage to face that demonic tiger alone will never stop there.
But when Zi Yan and the others asked, Lin Buyu became silent again. No matter how they asked, Lin Buyu said nothing.
"The competition seems to be about to begin."
In the end, the attention of Qingxiao and others was attracted by the scene of Xu Taiping and Lu Yuan on stage together in the bronze mirror.
"Wait a minute, is Taiping going to use a knife in this scene? Will he still use a knife?"
When they saw Xu Taiping taking off the cloth strip on his hand and placing his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, several people's faces showed surprise, even Lin Buyu was no exception.
…
In front of Longmen Hall.
On the Tianzihao Arena.
"Junior Brother Xu, the last competition was really eye-opening."
A young man in white smiled and bowed his hand towards Xu Taiping.
"You're making Senior Brother Lu laugh."
Xu Taiping smiled.
The person in front of him is naturally his opponent in this match, Lu Yuan.
"Just now I wanted to step forward and get to know you, Brother Taiping, but I didn't want to be chosen as my opponent this time. It's a pity. It would be great if we could be on the stage of the Seventh Summit together."
Lu Yuan said with some regret.
Xu Taiping could tell that, at least from the way he spoke, Lu Yuan's words did not seem to be against his will.
Of course, he would not be so naive that he would let down his guard just because of the other party's approval.
In his opinion, once he stands in this arena, he has only opponents and no friends.
"If you two are ready, the competition can begin."
At this time, the supervisor on the stage reminded the two of them.
"Junior Brother Xu's Qingniu Boxing in the last game was so good that I was so excited to watch it. This time I finally have the opportunity to ask for advice on two moves."
As Lu Yuan said this, he took two steps back and prepared to draw his sword out of its sheath.
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Senior Brother Lu."
Xu Taiping also took a few steps back at this time, then put his hand on the handle of the long knife at his waist and continued:
"In this case, I will use a knife."
"You... use a knife?"
Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, wondering if he heard wrongly.
It is true that Xu Taiping always had a knife hanging on his body, but he hardly used it.
Give up your best boxing skills and switch to using a knife.
Not only Lu Yuan couldn't figure it out, but the monks around the ring were in an uproar. They didn't understand why Xu Taiping gave up his Green Ox Fist.
After several competitions, due to the amazing performance of Qingniu Fist, everyone had almost acquiesced that it was Xu Taiping's unique skill, and some even began to speculate that the Qingniu Fist that Xu Taiping practiced was different from what they practiced.
And you have to know that Lu Yuan, who is standing in front of him at the moment, has the martial arts secret skill Fiery Yang Sword. Doesn't this mean he is hitting an egg with a stone?
Many people felt that Xu Taiping was just bluffing.
They all just felt that when the competition started, he would definitely use the Green Ox Fist again.
