Time passed bit by bit. The disciples in the main hall changed wave after wave, but no one was able to obtain a higher winning streak. At most, one was only able to obtain three consecutive victories.
After all, the more consecutive victories one had, the stronger the challengers would be. This was the open and secret struggle between the two factions of Su Chuanan and Nangong Shuo. No one wished for the other faction to obtain too much success, so they would naturally target each other. Lu Xuan had also been targeted, but he had always been hiding his strength. No matter who went up on stage, they would not be able to escape defeat. In the end, even Wan Jianfei personally made a move and was defeated.
Gradually, two hours had passed. There were still a few direct disciples who had not gone up on stage, but they could not help but stop in their tracks. Previously, Lu Xuan had already put down the bold words that he would fight Leng Qingqiu in two hours. They were all waiting for this battle with a great disparity in strength, but it was also the highlight of the entire arena.
However, Lu Xuan was still sitting on the ground, and did not have the slightest intention of getting up. Leng Qingqiu had already stood up at this moment. In his opinion, Lu Xuan would not break his promise.
However, after waiting for a period of time, Lu Xuan still did not have any intention of getting up. Zhao Ying had no choice but to explain on behalf of Lu Xuan: "Lu Xuan has gained something from his cultivation, so it is not suitable to disturb him now. The disciples who have not completed the martial arts practice can continue first."
Gained something from his cultivation? All the disciples had confused looks on their faces. Was this an excuse? How could he be able to comprehend something so quickly? Could it be that Lu Xuan was afraid of Leng Qingqiu and was unwilling to bear the price of failure, so he pretended to have comprehended something in an attempt to escape from this battle?
It would have been better to not have agreed to Leng Qingqiu's challenge in the first place. If that was the case, they would definitely not have any opinions about Lu Xuan. On the contrary, Lu Xuan's failure to keep his promise made them have a bad feeling about Lu Xuan.
Leng Qingqiu was also startled. He did not expect that Lu Xuan would actually come up with such a lame excuse. Yes, he directly believed that Lu Xuan was looking for an excuse. Previously, Lu Xuan had accepted his challenge on impulse. After receiving the advice of Zhao Ying and Zhao Bing`er, he decided to retreat. That was why he wanted to avoid the battle.
Thinking of this, Leng Qingqiu courteously smiled and said: "I did not expect junior brother Lu's talent to be so outstanding, to have another breakthrough in such a short period of time, it is truly worthy of celebration, but it doesn't matter, I can wait, I just hope that junior brother Lu does not make me wait too long, if it is one to four hours, it is still fine, if it is two to three days of comprehension, I can wait, but I am afraid that many of the elders present do not have the time to wait."
As soon as Leng Qingqiu finished speaking, someone sneered: "What cultivation, isn't it just an excuse? If you are afraid, then just say it, don't waste everyone's time."
The person who spoke was none other than Xie Bin, who had fainted after being slapped by Nangong Shuo earlier. However, he had long since regained consciousness, and the red and swollen marks on his face had mostly disappeared thanks to Nangong Shuo's treatment. However, there were still traces of palm marks on his face.
Hearing Xie Bin's voice, Leng Qingqiu pretended to scold him: "Junior brother Xie, don't speak nonsense. Junior brother Lu is a true genius, and his comprehension ability is not something you can imagine. If you say that Junior brother Lu is afraid of me, then I will be the first to not believe it."
The two of them echoed each other, hoping that everyone would know that Lu Xuan was afraid of Leng Qingqiu, which was why he deliberately avoided the battle. Avoiding the battle and not fighting was even more shameful.
Xie Bin hurriedly complimented: "Senior brother Leng's breadth of mind makes me admire you, but not everyone has the same breadth of mind as senior brother Leng. I am afraid that you are using the heart of a gentleman to measure the heart of a lowly person."
After being slapped unconscious by Lu Xuan in front of everyone, Xie Bin had already hated Lu Xuan to the bone. Of course, he would not say anything good about him. Moreover, he was deliberately currying favor with Leng Qingqiu, so he naturally knew what Leng Qingqiu wanted him to do.
Leng Qingqiu revealed a trace of a smile on her face, but she no longer scolded Xie Bin. It was obvious that she had tacitly agreed with Xie Bin's words. Moreover, many disciples were now standing on Leng Qingqiu's side, and most of them agreed with Xie Bin's words. Lu Xuan was afraid to fight.
Zhao Bing`er naturally could not tolerate others slandering Lu Xuan. She coldly swept a glance at Xie Bin and said: "Was the slap just now not enough?"
Xie Bin's face turned incomparably red when he heard this. He was most afraid of others mentioning what had just happened. This was definitely the most shameful thing in his life. If any other disciple dared to mention it, he would have already slapped them back. However, the one who spoke was Zhao Bing`er, so he did not dare to be the slightest bit presumptuous.
Nangong Shuo finally opened his mouth. He chuckled and said: "How can a young person not make mistakes? Moreover, Xie Bin has already received the punishment he deserved. Martial Nephew Bing`er, there's no need to hold on to it, right?"
Zhao Bing`er turned her face away and ignored Nangong Shuo. However, she did not refute him to his face. Up until now, the only person who dared to challenge Nangong Shuo to his face was Lu Xuan.
Nangong Shuo paused for a moment, then continued to speak: "Since Martial Nephew Lu has comprehended something, we naturally cannot easily interrupt him. I think this battle should end here. Moreover, even if Qingqiu wins, it will still be somewhat unfair. Everyone can just treat the joke from before as a joke."
Nangong Shuo's words were a little vague. Firstly, he pointed out that Leng Qingqiu would definitely win. Secondly, he said that Lu Xuan's previous acceptance of Leng Qingqiu's challenge was merely a joke. He simply did not have the ability to truly fight against Leng Qingqiu.
Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, Zhao Ying directly rejected him: "There's no need. I, Zhao Ying, have never been afraid of anyone. My disciple is the same. The sparring will continue. When Lu Xuan finishes cultivating, he will definitely come to accept the challenge."
Elder Wei Zhengyang, who was from Nangong Shuo's faction, opened his mouth and said: "Then if Lu Xuan really does as Martial Nephew Leng says and cultivates for two or three days, do we really have to accompany him here and wait for two or three days?"
Zhao Ying looked at Wei Zhengyang coldly and said, "Lu Xuan will definitely finish training within two hours. Elder Wei, you don't have to worry about him. Do you think that I, Zhao Ying, can't vouch for him personally?"
Wei Zhengyang was immediately speechless after being choked by Zhao Ying. He only thought in his heart, 'If Lu Xuan does not fight in two hours, then what will you do? In any case, the one who will lose face is not me.'
Zhao Ying naturally had her reasons for daring to say this. She could see that Lu Xuan had most likely entered the state of the Union of Man and Heaven. In order to prevent Lu Xuan from entering a state of Qi deviation, her Divine Sense constantly revolved around Lu Xuan and observed Lu Xuan's movements. She had an extremely accurate grasp of Lu Xuan's breathing and heartbeat. She had already felt that Lu Xuan's breathing was slightly abnormal and was no longer as calm as before. Within two hours, he would definitely wake up.
Since Zhao Ying had already guaranteed it, Nangong Shuo and Leng Qingqiu could only drop the matter and let the disciples who had yet to go on stage continue practicing. However, there were not many people left. They estimated that the sparring would end in less than an hour.
Yang Weili glanced at Lu Xuan and whispered to Su Chuanan, "Master, is Lu Xuan afraid to fight? This move is a little bad. It would have been better if he had rejected the challenge from the start. "
However, Su Chuanan decisively shook his head and said, "No, based on my understanding of Lu Xuan, he is definitely not the kind of person who cowers. Even if he loses, he will not avoid the fight. Furthermore, he is indeed cultivating."
Su Chuanan's experience was naturally not something that Yang Weili could compare to. Although he was slightly further away from Lu Xuan, and with Zhao Ying watching over him, he did not dare to rashly check on Lu Xuan's state. However, he could still see that Lu Xuan's cultivation state was not fake.
Naturally, Lu Xuan would not be afraid to fight. He had been immersed in the realm of the unity of heaven and man. In a short period of more than two hours, he had comprehended more than he would in a month. Especially since he had just experienced a few big battles, the Yuan Energy in his body was completely exhausted. The effect of cultivating in this state was the best.
And the Taiyi Origin Art did not stop circulating. Endless Yuan Energy gradually filled all of his acupuncture points. An ordinary person's recovery speed was definitely not as fast. For example, Wan Jianfei's Yuan Energy was not as vigorous as Lu Xuan's, but at this moment, he had not completely recovered. This was naturally due to the Taiyi Origin Art, a heaven-defying cultivation technique.
If it was under normal circumstances, when the Yuan Energy was completely recovered, the Taiyi Origin Art would stop absorbing Yuan Energy. But now, under Lu Xuan's comprehension, the Taiyi Origin Art was still continuously absorbing Yuan Energy. It was like a container filled with water that was continuously pouring water into it.
In this way, there would only be two results. One was to explode the bottle, and the other was to further compress the water in the bottle to make more space!
As the elemental force continued to be injected into his body, the acupoints all over his body began to ache. Although the IX Divine Rune was constantly helping Lu Xuan reduce the pain, it was still unable to stop the invasion of the elemental force.
Under the sharp pain, Lu Xuan immediately broke away from the state of the unity of heaven and man. After a quick perception, Lu Xuan quickly understood his current state. He had two choices. The first was to disperse the excess Yuan Energy, and the second was to make a breakthrough! He would further compress the Taiyi Energy in his body and fill it with the Yuan Energy that was far away.
Lu Xuan was a greedy person. How could he disperse the Yuan Energy that he had painstakingly absorbed into his body so easily? What's more, he had just cultivated and had a breakthrough in his comprehension of the realm. He completely had the capital to make a breakthrough!
Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Xuan began to quickly organize the comprehension he had just obtained. At the same time, he actively activated the Taiyi Regression Technique and began to forcefully compress the Yuan Energy in his body.
After a month of cultivation in the ice and snow secret chamber of Yunxuan Hall, Lu Xuan had built a solid foundation. The battle just now had allowed him to further digest the Yuan Energy. The breakthrough at this moment was a matter of course.
As the Yuan Energy increased, Lu Xuan felt his meridians swell and hurt more and more. Under his inner vision, Lu Xuan could see that his meridians were already showing signs of rupture. However, with the IX Divine Rune, his meridians were not easily damaged. Lu Xuan could boldly continue to compress the Yuan Energy without worry. This was the benefit of cultivating the body at the same time to cultivate the mind.
Lu Xuan shouted in his heart and suddenly compressed a large amount of Taiyi Energy into his dantian. It was like a soundless explosion that suddenly sounded in Lu Xuan's heart!
At this moment, the Taiyi Energy was successfully compressed!
The sudden emptying of space gave Lu Xuan an additional place to release the excess Yuan Energy in his body. Lu Xuan only felt that all the acupuncture points and meridians in his body were incomparably cool. It was simply refreshing!
