With the end of the last round, Chu Qingyan's points now reached eleven points together with Lin Yu, Cong Xingzhi, and Lu Zhiyu. Huo Jingyao, who had never made a move, accumulated nine points.
At this time, the four places seemed to have been selected. Although Huo Jingyao still had a chance to challenge, he gradually let go of his obsession with the final place.
But even so, Huo Jingyao still chose to challenge Lu Zhiyu.
"Let me tell you, even if you can beat Miss Lu, the rest of them are not easy to deal with." Long Yu said with a smile on his face.
Huo Jingyao smiled gently and said: "Let this battle be the end of this gambling conference. Even if I can win Miss Lu by luck, I will not challenge anyone else."
Long Yu rolled his eyes and said, "Pretending like this?"
Everyone slowly retreated, and Lu Zhiyu and Huo Jingyao came on stage one after another.
"Miss Lu, please give me some advice!" Huo Jingyao clasped his fists and said, his behavior full of easy-going.
Lu Zhiyu responded politely and said, "I have heard about the reputation of Ling'an Mansion for a long time. Please give me some advice!"
The typhoon of these two people was different from the previous ones. It was more like a casual discussion between the two, without any sparks at all, which made everyone present relax their tense mood.
In terms of strength, Huo Jingyao is at the Qing level. Compared with Lu Zhiyu, he has a half-level advantage. However, Lu Zhiyu has always been cautious, so she was naturally well prepared.
The figures of the two people changed rapidly, and powerful source energy aura exploded between the bodies of both parties.
Huo Jingyao was originally from Ling'an Mansion in Canglan Prefecture. Ling'an Mansion had always practiced with Origin Technique as its core. There are three core source qi techniques in Ling'an Mansion, namely Lingxi Finger, Lingxi Palm, and Lingxi Gangqi. The three complement each other. Huo Jingyao has reached the level of proficiency in the practice of these three source qi skills, so he launched a tiger-like offensive from the beginning.
"Lingxi Finger!"
Huo Jingyao skillfully changed the corresponding finger shapes between his hands, and the deep Origin Qi quickly wrapped around the fingertips. Lingxi Finger is quite similar to Lin Yu's Cold Three Finger, but its special feature is that the fingerprints change more than those of Han Three Finger.
Holding his fingerprints, Huo Jingyao passed through the air like lightning and struck towards Lu Zhiyu.
Facing Huo Jingyao's sharp finger, Lu Zhiyu changed in an instant, and his wrists trembled slightly. The Origin Qi condensed in his body formed a giant pattern toward the front, forming layers of Origin Qi barriers from the inside out.
"Qingyuan Flower Seal!"
The explosive force of the fingertips collided with the pattern, and scattered sparks were generated at the contact point. Both forces are directed towards their respective ends, bursting out with dazzling light.
Huo Jingyao turned his fingers into palms, and the source energy power covering the pattern expanded rapidly. A heavier force than before swayed at the intersection.
"Lingxi Palm!"
The power of the Lingxi Palm is far greater than that of the Lingxi Finger. Not long after the change, the light rippling on the pattern quickly dimmed, and Lu Zhiyu's power was being suppressed bit by bit by the new power.
"Fourth floor!"
The outer layer of the pattern thickened in an instant, and the original weak source of power became strong again at this moment. The power of Lingxi Palm and the latter formed a strange balance. Between the two of them, sparks of source energy once again stirred up.
"Tianyuan Death Kill!"
In the center of the huge pattern that opens like an umbrella, there is a small hole that opens like a mechanism. There is no texture on the surface of the small hole, just a little breath. Afterwards, the power in the pattern continued to gather towards the small hole in the center, and in the blink of an eye, a powerful source of energy beam was ejected from it, heading straight towards where Huo Jingyao was.
Lu Zhiyu's move is indeed special. While possessing super defensive power, he can also transform into a powerful Origin Qi offensive, which can be used both offensively and defensively. It is really difficult to deal with.
Lu Zhiyu's sudden attack forced Huo Jingyao to retreat towards the perimeter. Seeing the source energy laser as sharp as a knife, he simply stopped holding back and responded strongly.
"Lingxi Gangqi!" The dark cyan source energy covering the body suddenly turned into a shining golden color. Then, his two palms were slightly closed, and the powerful aura was still kneading in his palms.
Then the two palms were separated, stretched up and down, and an equally powerful beam of Origin Qi broke through it, just in time to collide with the Origin Qi emitted by Lu Zhiyu.
Boom!
The two forces intertwined like fire, and the strong impact quickly caused the air to roar, the surrounding space was slightly turbulent, and astonishing energy fluctuations swept away like lotus flowers.
Although the two of them behaved very softly at the beginning, when they really started to fight, they were not ambiguous at all.
After a while, the two figures were clearly visible to everyone again. Neither of them suffered any damage. The two forces were just in a stalemate and did not pose any threat.
Huo Jingyao felt a lot of surprise in his heart. The person who could completely master his Lingxi technique in the past few years was Lu Zhiyu.
Lu Zhiyu also had some respect, and sighed in his heart at the ingenuity of Ling'an Mansion's core skills.
After thinking for a moment, Huo Jingyao had a smile that he had never seen before, and then said slightly: "Forget it, Miss Lu, I give up!"
Lu Zhiyu was a little confused. After he came to his senses, he asked: "You and I haven't decided the winner, so why did you admit defeat?"
Huo Jingyao shook his head and said helplessly: "I consider myself inferior to Miss Lu, so please don't think too much about it."
Lu Zhiyu was a little angry. He would rather not have such a victory that came from someone else's unwarranted defeat.
"Do you look down on me? Are you disdainful of my fighting?"
Huo Jingyao said: "I have the strength of a Qing-level master and I can't do anything to the girl with just a few moves, so how can I say I look down on her."
"Why is that?" Lu Zhiyu continued to ask.
Long Yu, who was in the audience, saw what was going on at a glance and said: "Miss Lu, Brother Huo had injuries in his body long before he participated in the gambling conference!"
"What..." This was something Lu Zhiyu didn't expect.
The old man watching from a distance couldn't help but said: "I guessed it right. In the previous rounds, I felt that this person's Origin Qi was very disordered."
Lin Yu said silently: "Did the forceful use of Lingxi Gangqi just now cause the injury to recur..."
Huo Jingyao smiled softly and said: "I really don't have the strength to compete with the girl. I congratulate Miss Lu in advance for entering the final round."
There was a hint of complexity in Lu Zhiyu's eyes, which seemed to be a bit pity and a bit unwilling. However, she could only accept this result.
"Then when your injury recovers, how about we have a competition?" Lu Zhiyu said with a smile.
Huo Jingyao responded softly: "Definitely!"
Since then, Lu Zhiyu's points have reached twelve points, ranking first among everyone. The four quotas for this gambling conference have been officially determined.
Xiyue walked to the center of the competition field, quickly glanced at all the forces, and said loudly: "Then the four people who have entered the final gambling round of this gambling conference are - Lu Zhiyu, Lin Yu, Cong Xingzhi, Chu Qingyan!”
Countless shouts were heard all around, and the two forces of Tianyuan Sect and Tianxi Pavilion were particularly lively.
"The final sixth round of gambling will be held in the Wanhe Hall in Qingqiu Road in three days. Please wait and see. In addition, on the day of the last round of competition, all those present will have an iron hand team preparing for everyone. Please come as soon as possible as a gift!"
Xiyue's words once ignited everyone's enthusiasm. When they heard that gifts were being given, many people became excited and eager for that day to come.
