"Senior Brother, do you really want to hold a tournament?"
In the bedroom, Liu Li sat on the bed and curiously asked. Her eyes were full of eagerness to try.
Wang Lu said, "Of course, it's a good opportunity. Although there are many waste wood in Moonless' harem, there are also many experts. The main concubine, Concubine Xiao Yun, is a Yuanying Stage expert. On paper, her strength is stronger than that of the guard captain, Han Yu. Unfortunately, after so many years of fighting in the harem, their brains have become stupid. They may not even be able to use twenty to thirty percent of their ability. Now give them a chance to adjust their state. Five days later, when the tournament begins, we will have endless experience. "
"Good!" Liu Li couldn't help but begin to stroke her own sword, Skybreaker.
Although most of the people in the harem had higher cultivation base than her, Liu Li still had a strong desire to fight. She could not wait to fight with everyone — including Wang Lu himself.
It was good to take risks and have fun with Wang Lu, but it would be even better if she could have the opportunity to consolidate her cultivation base and refine her sword intent.
For Wang Lu, things had to be a bit more complicated.
From the beginning, Wang Lu's actions were not simple. The adoption of the whimsical proposal of the harem tournament was not based on luck.
According to Moonless' temper, it was almost impossible for her to tolerate others' offense, let alone fighting with the concubines in the harem of Moon Capital, and even injuring the guard captain. Let alone Li Yan's friend who wrote the recommendation letter, even if Li Yan herself was here, Moonless would still be ruthless in order to maintain her dignity.
Of course, the idea of the harem tournament was indeed good, but the one who came up with this idea, Wang Lu, at most, deserved to die a quick death. He didn't need to be thrown into the dark side of the moon to be tortured before his death.
What really made Moonless hold back was the sword strike that broke Han Yu's original magical ability by Wang Lu.
With the combined power of Wang Lu and Liu Li, and then perfectly guided by Skybreaker, the power of that sword strike was enough to make most of the Daoist Masters of Yuanying Stage palpitate.
Of course, it was far from being a threat to a Soul Formation cultivator. If that sword was aimed at Moonless, she wouldn't even need to use a magic treasure. She could block that sword with her physical body alone. However, the point of Wang Lu's sword attack was not to injure the enemy, but to demonstrate a problem — how could a King Pill cultivator make such a sword attack?
Although there were many King Pill cultivators in the world, to be able to slash out such an earth-shattering sword was probably unheard of by many. This kind of King Pill could not be a nameless person. The backer behind him was very likely to be terrifying, so Moonless would not take the risk to provoke him. Harmonious Heaven, the seventh rank of the nine heavens of Temple of Heaven, was indeed powerful, but compared with a person who could cultivate such a powerful King Pill, Harmonious Heaven still seemed insignificant.
Moonless was arrogant, brutal, and headstrong. However, as a political figure, she had absolutely qualified political acumen. In the Palace of Heaven, she was like a vassal king, so there was no room for her to go further. Therefore, she used all her acumen on how to keep her current position.
Whether it was the sky-covering Moon Capital, the extravagance of the wine pool and the forest of meat, or even the huge debauchery and tyrannical harem, they were all means for her to show her ambition to others. Only those who did not move forward would be extravagant, and those who had far-reaching plans would often pretend to be a moral saint. Thus, in the Palace of Heaven, her goal was naturally just a vassal king, and she would not ask for more. At the same time, she would never offend people that she shouldn't offend.
It was this complex political motive that made Moonless finally tolerate Wang Lu's rudeness, and even appointed him to complete the preparation for the harem tournament.
In the next few days, presumably, Moonless would exhaust her resources to dig out the details of Wang Lu and Liu Li. Of course, it was impossible for her to get any result. However, because she couldn't get the result, she would be afraid to act rashly.
With the wisdom of Moonless, she would eventually find that Wang Lu and Liu Li had no backing in the Heavenly Earth. However, no one knew how long it would take. At least, it was enough for Wang Lu to use this time to use the resources in Moonless's hands to ruthlessly gain a lot of experience.
For the current Wang Lu and Liu Li, there was nothing more suitable than a hearty tournament. Most of the opponents were between King Pill Stage and Yuanying Stage, which was exactly the level that the two of them needed to deal with seriously. They even had to take some risks, but not to the extent that they couldn't deal with it. Moreover, according to the rules of Moonless, life and death in the tournament was up to fate, so they could unscrupulously kill each other.
The life and death battle was unusual. After each battle, the benefit was more than ten times that of an ordinary battle — of course, the premise was that they didn't suffer irrecoverable serious damage in the battle — it could be said that it was a way of cultivation where risk and benefit coexisted.
Only such a growth rate could satisfy the needs of Wang Lu and Liu Li.
—
The Moon Capital Harem Tournament kicked off on time five days later.
The venue was located in the middle of Moon Capital, on the training field belonging to Moonless.
Under the careful planning of Wang Lu, although it was only five days, the opening ceremony still presented a series of wonderful programs, dazzling and too much for the eyes to take in. The Moon Capital Guards around the training field all stared intently. Although the rules of duty did not allow them to make any response, their focused posture still exposed their true thoughts.
At the top of the center of the audience, even the always scheming and unsmiling Imperial Concubine Xiao Yun revealed a smile from time to time. While pointing at the programs and actors on the training field, she talked to Moonless. She was talking, and Moonless was listening. From beginning to end, Moonless didn't say a word.
When the opening ceremony ended, the first round of the tournament soon began. The actors who were still gorgeously dressed on the training field immediately put on their uniforms and waited for the start of their turn with a solemn look.
Even the Imperial Concubine came down from the stage and put on a light and gorgeous fighting suit. Thus, in the entire audience, except for a few bureaucrats who were deeply trusted by Moonless and Moonless herself, there was no one else.
"Then, in the first match, I will fight against Xiao Murong."
In the middle of the training field, Wang Lu, who was both the host and the contestant of the first match, said with a smile.
At the same time, a woman with a face full of anger came to the stage and looked at Wang Lu. Her eyes seemed as if they were about to spit fire.
Xiao Murong was the imperial concubine who was mistaken by Wang Lu as the Imperial Concubine five days ago and then punched out ten feet of blood. At that time, she took several of her men to find trouble for Wang Lu and Liu Li — that was also the rule of the elders in the harem to train the newcomers. Who knew that this newcomer completely didn't know what the rules were. With three punches, the prestige that Xiao Murong had painstakingly built up in the harem for many years was gone.
Those who had seen her nosebleed violently and fall unconscious would no longer have any respect for her. Even her previous backer, Concubine Xiao Yun, would no longer see her. Thus, Xiao Murong could no longer find a place in the harem, unless she could defeat this opponent in the martial arts arena and wash away her shame.
She had no way out.
Five days was not enough for her to completely recover the spirit, energy, and spirit of the Temple of Heaven Ascetic Nun before she entered the harem, but she still had the confidence to defeat her opponent. Because in Wang Lu's hand was the Sword of Mount Kun, not the Skybreaker. And in Xiao Murong's hand was the spirit sword "Faceless Moon" that she borrowed from Imperial Concubine Xiao Yun.
Without the Skybreaker, she didn't believe that a mere middle-rank King Pill could make an earth-shattering sword strike. And she, as the peak of King Pill, with the help of Faceless Moon, dared to compete with a Daoist Master of Yuanying Stage. Under such circumstances, she had a chance of winning.
In fact, after the start of the battle, Xiao Murong indeed grasped the initiative on the scene for a time. The more than one meter long sword "Faceless Moon" was like a dexterous dagger in her hand. Combined with the Yin and Yang Heart Protection Mirror, it made the martial arts arena constantly change day and night. The flying sword sometimes appeared in her hand, and sometimes it was used by her to attack the enemy from a distance. Sometimes the sword light was as fine as a crescent moon, and sometimes it was as round and flawless as a full moon.
Xiao Murong had almost recovered more than 90% of her peak strength. The speed of her sword momentum was dazzling, and it seemed that the newcomer was completely suppressed.
But it didn't take long for people to find that no matter how Xiao Murong changed, the golden sword defense did not budge. The long-haired woman in the middle of the sword defense — which was the image that Wang Lu now used to show people — almost yawned.
Xiao Murong's face was red, and she felt deeply ashamed. So she stopped the flashy sword momentum and began to concentrate her strength on one point.
Faceless Moon was a spirit sword. If the difference in sword spirit was not taken into account, its grade was actually higher than that of the Sword of Mount Kun. Driven by Xiao Murong with all her strength, the body of the sword was flowing with the most refined and pure moonlight, as if it wanted to make the real moon feel ashamed.
The next moment, just as the sword momentum was about to be fully charged, Xiao Murong suddenly broke out, trying to catch her opponent off guard. In her opinion, the reason that Wang Lu was able to keep his sword defense from being broken under the previous intensive offensive was more or less due to his prediction. So, as long as she could break the opponent's prediction, she could break the opponent's sword defense.
Xiao Murong's sword moved up, ensuring that every bit of strength she had was squeezed into Faceless Moon. The spirit sword flew up in an instant, and she also flew up in an instant. The opponent on the martial arts arena rapidly expanded in her field of vision, and she looked like she was still caught off guard.
Victory seemed to be at her fingertips.
Then Xiao Murong felt a tremendous force explode from the sword in her hand, then surged along her arm and spread all over her body. Her body, which had been tempered thousands of times during the King Pill realm, seemed extremely fragile under the pressure of the tremendous force. Her bones broke one by one, and her muscles were twisted into a ball. At the last moment before her consciousness disappeared, she vaguely saw her brain burst out.
And the audience present was extremely shocked to see such a scene:
Xiao Murong attacked with all her strength, and her momentum was like a rainbow. Then the spirit sword collided with the golden sword defense. With a muffled bang, the sword defense trembled slightly, but Xiao Murong turned into a mass of minced meat.
"Phew, it looks like I won."
After putting away the Sword of Mount Kun, Wang Lu waved to the silent surroundings, and then walked down the martial arts arena under the increasingly solemn gaze of Moonless.
When he stepped down from the arena, he clenched his fists, which was a small celebration.
This was the first time that he combined the counterattack sword momentum of Non-Phase Sword with Primal Chaos Heaven Splitting Sword Qi in actual combat. While rebounding the opponent's attack, he also added his own strength. Therefore, at that moment, Xiao Murong and the others simultaneously suffered a full blow from the peak of the King Pill realm, plus Wang Lu's Heaven Splitting Sword Qi. Even if she had ten Yin and Yang Heart Protection Mirrors, she would not be able to save her life.
And such an achievement could only be quickly condensed in a life and death battle. It was unknown how long it would take to truly perfect this move by relying on closed door cultivation and primordial spirit deduction.
Wang Lu looked up at the harem concubines who were watching the match from the contestants' seats, but what he saw was a mass of fat and plentiful experience points.
