Chapter 44: Suspicion of Recruitment
"The winner of this competition is Luo Yunzong Wu Hao!" Mr. Chen's rich voice sounded on the court, but no one in the audience made a sound for a long time.
Everyone was whispering, looking at Wu Hao dressed as a scholar on the stage with fear in their eyes.
"Oh my god, he actually defeated Su Jianzi! He is worthy of being the young leader of Luo Yunzong!"
"I think this Little Ming King managed to win by relying on the power of the elixir! Moreover...Senior Brother Su has defended nine consecutive matches before!" The speaker was a disciple of the Qingyun Sect, and obviously he couldn't accept it either. The fact that the number one person of the Qingyun Sect was defeated.
But what this person said immediately aroused the rebuttal of several people nearby.
"What's wrong with the elixir? That's within the reasonable rules of the competition! Besides, Su Jianzi uses a sword, but Prince Xiao Ming is unarmed!"
…
Naturally, there is no right or wrong in the debate among the people in the audience, but even if there is a right or wrong, it will not affect the result of the competition.
There will be no suspense in the next few battles. Although Wu Hao is in a very embarrassed state at this time, few people are willing to really attack this true disciple from the Eight Great Sects!
When he appeared in the promotion rest area, he just glanced at Yi Xifeng a little thoughtfully, then smiled and said hello to the other three people present, and then found a place to meditate and rest.
Although nothing could be seen on the surface, the people sitting here were all outstanding young people, and they naturally understood that after that battle, no one would be unscathed.
Due to the particularity of his own internal energy technique, Yi Xifeng is considered the strongest among the four people present. He can naturally clearly feel the fluctuations of internal energy coming from the opponent's body.
This is a kind of qi fluctuation caused by the operation of internal energy. The other party's feeling is that it is high and sometimes low, and it is not stable. Fortunately, the qi has a long lasting aftertaste. Thinking about it, Wu Hao must have suffered serious internal injuries, but the pill he just took was too powerful to allow him to cope with this non-fatal injury.
After the rest area became silent again due to the addition of Wu Hao, the battle on the stage became more active.
The absence of two great masters seems to have given everyone hope again. And a familiar figure appeared on the ring again, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
…
"Is this man the swordsman genius from Xiaoyuan Academy?"
"Yes, that's right, it's him! And I heard..."
"What? Isn't that Wu Hao from Luo Yunzong..."
…
Everyone in the audience immediately focused their gossip on the young man on the stage.
The three girls who had been watching the battle on the second floor were even more surprised. They looked at the young man standing on the ring downstairs with a knife in his hand. He had an unruly smile on his face, and he looked more like a child from a poor family than a child from a wealthy family. Even his skin color was not as fair as the previous young talents, but a healthy wheat color.
This person was Lin Fenghuo, who came to Qingyun Sect from Xiaoyuan Academy together with Lin Lei. However, he did not use his real name at this time, but took the pseudonym Yun Feng to participate in this competition to recruit a bride.
He did this mainly because of his status. After all, Yinren Town has a relationship with Luo Yun Sect, and after all, this place is within the territory of Luo Yun State. There is no need to cause trouble for him, right?
Li Xintian naturally recognized the dark boy from the past at a glance. After not seeing him for several years, his skin tone seemed not to be as dark as before, but had almost turned into a healthy wheat color. Although it is not fair among men, it is not too dark.
"I was curious just now. Since Lin Lei is here, Feng Huo should also be in the audience. But why does he have to wade through this muddy water?" Zhong Lingxi frowned and asked softly.
Naturally, she would not naively think that these two former companions would really fall in love with her. It had nothing to do with their personality differences, but mainly because they were too familiar with each other.
"I think he came here for Wu Hao. Lin Lei came on stage early. I remember it was during the morning competition, but even if Lin Lei was eliminated in the end, he still chose not to take action." The two people who spoke were Senior sister Xu Ling'e, although she is often not on the same channel as the two of them, Senior Sister Ling'e can always find some problems that ordinary people often ignore.
Li Xintian nodded and said with some worry: "To be honest, I can't understand this competition more and more. I always feel that the water inside is too deep, and there seems to be some conspiracy."
Zhong Lingxi and Xu Ling'e looked at each other and frowned. They obviously noticed something was wrong, but they couldn't tell what was wrong. They both knew that despite Li Xintian's young age, he was extremely intelligent.
This matter is not simple even for her, and the truth must be difficult to guess.
…
Lin Fenghuo's opponent was a young man from Yunxi Town. Both of them used knives. But the difference is that Lin Fenghuo used a straight knife, while the opponent used a sword from the Western Regions.
Sitting in the rest area, Yi Xifeng naturally recognized his best friend at a glance. Of course, the main reason is that Lin Fenghuo's appearance has not changed much in the past five years. Except that he is much taller than before, his facial features have not changed much.
Moreover, his skills were inherited from the Lin family, so he followed a different path from Yi Xifeng. He didn't need to think about improvements on his own to steadily send him to the realm of chivalry. This means that his internal energy fluctuations have basically not changed much. Coupled with the very conspicuous "Green Fire Sword", it is not difficult for people who are familiar with him to recognize him.
At this time, Lin Fenghuo, whose pseudonym was Yun Feng, had already reached a point of fighting with his opponent. In less than a round, the young man holding the Western Region Saber was already at a disadvantage.
If this situation continues, he may be able to defeat his opponent in less than thirty or forty rounds. Although the two of them are both at the level of the chivalrous realm, the gap in strength between them is still quite large. You must know that strength cannot be determined by the level of internal strength alone. And if this young man from Yunxi Town hadn't relied on the convenience of the weapon in his hand, he might have been chopped down by Lin Fenghuo long ago.
Ding!
This Western Region sword brought up a bright blade and slashed directly at Lin Fenghuo. However, an attack of this level would not threaten the young man who was extremely talented in swordsmanship.
I saw him flicking the green fire knife in his hand, and the blade of the straight knife traced along the curved surface of the sword. The knife that was originally looking at his right chest struck directly on the bluestone of the arena. superior.
Seeing this scene, Yi Xifeng also recognized that the sword used by his opponent was a kukri, also known as a dog-leg knife in the world. The power between slashes is extremely powerful. Charged slashes like the one just now can exert the powerful lethality of ax and hammer weapons. If it were other warriors who also used straight swords, it would indeed be difficult to neutralize his attack as lightly as Lin Fenghuo.
