The second match between the disciples of Lingjian School and the Ten Thousand Arts Sect only took a split second to decide the outcome — although in this split second, there were quite a few changes.
Amidst the tsunami-like cheers, Liu Li giggled and walked down the Cloud Platform with a face full of the joy of victory.
"Senior Sister Liu Li, you're awesome!"
"Hehe ~" Liu Li somewhat embarrassedly touched her cheek.
"Senior Sister Liu Li, we will always support you!"
"Oh!"
...
The cheers were isolated by the array until they reached the rest area — in order to give the contestants a quiet environment.
"Senior Sister, isn't it too early for you to use your unique skill?"
An outer court disciple who had been in the sect for more than twenty years and had already reached Xudan Stage chuckled as he brought a cup of hot tea. The tea was a special drink of the Carefree Peak, which could effectively restore magical power and boost one's spirit.
Liu Li took the tea and smiled at this fellow disciple who entered the sect earlier than her and had a higher cultivation base, yet had to call her Senior Sister. "Because only by using my unique skill can I win."
That outer court disciple nodded and no longer questioned her. Because although Liu Li said it lightly, since it was her judgment, it must be correct.
Brilliant Sword Heart was, after all, too rare. It was a high-rank immortal method, and its requirement for the cultivator was also very extreme. Even the Ten Thousand Arts Sect didn't have a comprehensive understanding of it. In addition to the powerful explosive power and spotless physique, the complete Brilliant Sword Heart could also give the cultivator an incomparably sensitive intuition, allowing them to subconsciously make the correct judgment.
Liu Li thought that the Fiery Sword was not enough to win, therefore, she immediately used her hidden card, the Weak Water Sword, and then cleanly defeated the opponent. If her reaction was a bit slower, it was likely that she would be injured by the opponent's Evil Ghost Talisman. However, as long as the Brilliant Sword Heart was still there, even if the fight was repeated a hundred or a thousand times, Lu Qiancai still wouldn't be able to seize that little bit of gap to win.
This was the Successor Disciple of Lingjian School, the peerless genius that even the Heavenly Sword Hall Elders were proud of. With her, no matter how arrogant the Ten Thousand Arts Sect people were, they couldn't shake the self-confidence of Lingjian School.
At the same time, on the other side of the clouds, the rest area of the Ten Thousand Arts Sect was in awe.
Lu Qiancai's defeat was not surprising. What was surprising was that he had obviously done his best, yet he still didn't have the slightest chance … Liu Li was stronger than expected. A sixteen-fold Fiery Sword was already a headache, and now there was suddenly a Weak Water Sword. With the two swords combined, how could they resist?!
At the very least, none of the people present had the confidence to withstand it. Even the eldest senior brother, Zhan Ziye, had a gloomy expression.
After a while, Lu Qian slowly said, "I don't think there's any need to be too pessimistic. Although the opponent suddenly has an extra trump card, this trump card just happens to be countered by the Thunder Battle Body, so there's no problem."
Zhao Jiangyuan smiled bitterly, "It's easy to say. It's not just the Weak Water Sword. The key is that the Brilliant Sword Heart seems to have a new characteristic that we don't know."
Several disciples of the Ten Thousand Arts Sect had good eyesight, thus, they were able to see the real problem.
"Eh, where's Junior Brother Yun Fan?" Lu Qiancai suddenly raised his head and asked.
"Seems like he's looking for an old friend." Ye Feifei absent-mindedly replied. The woman's mind was completely focused on the fight between their Eldest Brother and Liu Li, completely ignoring the whereabouts of their Junior Brother.
"Looking for an old friend?" Lu Qiancai and the others were baffled.
Hai Yunfan indeed went to look for an old friend. On the periphery of the Cloud Platform, he and Wang Lu sat next to each other, talking and laughing wittily.
"Brother Wang, you're in a good mood? It seems like you're already confident in the next match? "
"Little Hai, if you have something to say, just say it."
Hai Yunfan smiled. "Brother Wang is really open-minded. I originally wanted to apologize to you for what happened just now."
Wang Lu indifferently said, "From the beginning, I didn't expect to be able to turn the tables with this silk scarf. I just wanted to create some trouble and observe the fighting strength of your trump card. Unexpectedly, it's worse than what I expected … However, it's good that Yue Yun lost. Otherwise, people would question the quality of this match. So, if you have something to say, just say it. "
Hai Yunfan asked, "If it were you, how would you deal with Senior Sister Liu Li?"
Wang Lu glanced at him. "Why do you ask this?"
Hai Yunfan said, "I'm just curious. I believe that Brother Wang must have carefully considered this problem, because … if the fight goes smoothly, Brother Wang is very likely to meet Liu Li in the finals. "
Wang Lu said, "Yes, this is the most likely situation. Needless to say, on my side, neither Zhao Jiangyuan nor Ye Feifei can stop me. As for Zhan Ziye, it's unlikely that he can win against Liu Li. Me and her are the most likely to compete for the championship. "
Hai Yunfan didn't comment on this and just asked, "Then, what do you think Brother Wang should do?"
"To deal with Liu Li, of course, you have to use your brain. She's so strong, if you insist on fighting her head on, that's courting death. She's so stupid, so naturally, you should use tricks to win. "
"... Tricks?"
Wang Lu said with a smile, "For example, using two candies to exchange for a silk scarf. I can use the silk scarf to lure Zhan Ziye to admit defeat, and perhaps I can use two candies to lure Liu Li to admit defeat. "
Hai Yunfan laughed in spite of himself. "Senior Sister Liu Li is not that easy to deal with, right?"
"Of course it's not that easy. No matter what, she has a Master. She's been brain-damaged for so many years, how could her Master not give her any preparation? Certainly, before the competition, she must have done all kinds of explanations to prevent her from being deceived in the arena. By the way, before the fight, I have just participated in designing her special training course. "
Hai Yunfan asked, "Since the design is so thorough, how could she use tricks?"
Wang Lu said, "Therefore, you need to test her flaws bit by bit. For example, just now, it was said that you can use candy to lure her to admit defeat. However, perhaps before the fight, the Elders have told her that she must not give up the victory for candy, so she was unmoved. Then, you can use chicken legs, pig trotters, braised dog meat, and other things to test her … Her only weakness is that she's not very clever, so you can only use this point. Unfortunately, your Fourth Brother is so stupid that he wasted an opportunity to test her. "
"Oh?"
"If he doesn't hold a fluke mentality and wants to decide the outcome in the first round, in theory, he should be able to hold on for a period of time. During this period, he can test the opponent's real situation and look for the flaw in her IQ. Later, even if he can't win, he can create an opportunity for the later generation, which is your Big Brother. "
Upon hearing this, Hai Yunfan was stunned for a moment, and then he wryly smiled. "Unfortunately, I didn't hear Brother Wang's golden advice earlier."
"Nonsense, I didn't tell you earlier. In any case, she and I are from the same sect, so it's impossible for me to help you deal with her." Speaking to this, Wang Lu's eyes suddenly turned. "How about you, as the substitute of the Ten Thousand Arts Sect, don't you think it's a pity that you don't have the opportunity to shine on the field? If you need it, I can help you think of a way. "
According to the rules, the substitute could only go on the field when the winner of the match was unable to proceed to the next round. By saying this, Wang Lu was clearly trying to trick Zhan Ziye who had already won the first round.
Hai Yunfan immediately refused. "Forget it. Even Brother Wang disdains to collude with outsiders to harm his teammates, so naturally, I disdain it even more."
Wang Lu meaningfully looked at Hai Yunfan and said, "You're indeed worthy to be called Hai Yunfan with noble character. Speaking of which, I think your temperament is quite suitable for your Second Sister."
Upon hearing this, Hai Yunfan trembled and then got up. "Master is looking for me, please forgive me for taking my leave first."
"Hahaha, I won't see you out."
—
After returning to the Ten Thousand Arts Sect's resting area, Hai Yunfan felt a chill on his back. His sect's robe had been soaked in cold sweat.
He was a dignified Foundation Establishment cultivator, and his physical strength was better than the top martial arts masters in the mortal world. However, Wang Lu's last words made his whole body quiver and cold sweat dripped down like a waterfall.
He was indeed worthy to be the miraculous youth on the Immortal Path. After not seeing him for a few years, he had become even more powerful than before. In their previous meeting, Hai Yunfan didn't feel it, but now that they had a one-on-one talk, he found out that this less than eighteen years old young cultivator already had an astonishing power. Coupled with his unpredictable psychological attack, it was extremely painful.
It wasn't hard to guess what Hai Yunfan was thinking, but it was precisely because of this that trying to use this as bait was simply a fantasy — he wasn't like Zhan Ziye, a dead-headed otaku with a screw loose in his head. However, if the one who opened his mouth was Wang Lu … Hai Yunfan couldn't help but be tempted.
Because since Wang Lu had opened his mouth, it was likely that he really had a way to make his dream come true. Even if Hai Yunfan wanted to refuse Wang Lu, it would be impossible for him to do so! If he said that he wanted to matchmake you, then you have no other choice but to get married and have children! Hai Yunfan's reaction was very fast. At that time, before Wang Lu's voice fell, he had already constructed a beautiful picture of the future in his mind, which made his heart palpitate with excitement.
At the same time, he was also shocked. Fortunately, he had been cultivating in the Ten Thousand Arts Sect for many years, so he wouldn't be unable to control himself just because of a few words. He immediately got up and left, ending the dangerous conversation.
After taking a few breaths in the resting area, Hai Yunfan regained his spirit and happened to see his Third Brother, Zhao Jiangyuan, who was already eager to fight.
The next fight would be between his Third Brother and Wang Lu. At this time, it had been some time since Liu Li defeated Lu Qiancai, but the enthusiastic atmosphere on the Cloud Tread Rooftop hadn't diminished in the slightest. After seeing Liu Li's trick, people naturally looked forward to how Wang Lu, who was famous for his trickery, would deal with the Ten Thousand Arts Sect disciple whose absolute strength was far superior to his. All kinds of speculations about this fight had become the focus of the audience.
However, even the people from Lingjian School weren't very optimistic about Wang Lu's chances in this fight. Each side had their own opinions, but no one could convince the other. After listening to a few words, Hai Yunfan's heart slightly sank.
Because … even these disciples from Lingjian School couldn't accurately measure the strength of Wang Lu. This guy was considered mysterious in the Spirit Sword Mountain. And this kind of mystery was not very beneficial for the Ten Thousand Arts Sect, which was accustomed to analyzing the information before the fight and formulating the tactics.
"Senior Brother, is victory in your grasp?"
Seeing his Junior Brother coming over, Zhao Jiangyuan was slightly startled and then immediately replied, "Of course … it's impossible."
With that, Zhao Jiangyuan felt a bit helpless. "The information that can be analyzed is still too little. That Non-Phase Method is too mysterious, even less than the Brilliant Sword Heart. We only know that it's a method created by an Elder of the Non-Phase Peak, and its defense and survivability are extremely strong. However, we don't know how strong it is. If not for the fight between Elder Non-Phase and Daoist Master Zhifeng of Shengjing Sect three years ago, there wouldn't even be a few examples of it. "
Hai Yunfan asked, "Hey, the sect hasn't analyzed the Non-Phase Method?"
"The information is too little, so there's no way to analyze it. However, if we can't analyze it, then we can't analyze it. He's just a punching bag, do you think I'm afraid of him? "
Hai Yunfan smiled. "Senior Brother is right. Mm, the fight is about to start, I wish Senior Brother in advance … "
Halfway through his words, a burst of exclamation suddenly came from the other side, which was mixed with the screams of many female cultivators from Lingjian School. The sound was so loud that even the soundproof array couldn't completely block it.
"Ah, what's that!?"
"So cute!"
"Look, it's looking at me, it's looking at me!"
The Ten Thousand Arts Sect disciples looked at each other in dismay and then quickly looked around.
They saw that at the other end of the Cloud Platform, Wang Lu had already made his preparations and slowly stepped onto the platform.
At his feet, there was a mishmash of fur, but it looked naughty and cute. It was comfortably enjoying the attention of the crowd, happily running around.
"Damn, what's that!?"
