The light dissipated quickly, and Xia Ye's figure appeared.
"Xia Ye has been eliminated, but Li Hu is still inside. Seems like Li Hu will be the first in this round."
"It's hard to say. Both of their scores are the same now, unless Li Hu can kill another martial artist."
…
Xia Ye's final score was more than 600 points. He had killed a total of four martial artists at Level Five of the Body Refinement Realm and was ranked fifth. Back in the Sword Pagoda, Xia Ye's score was killing three martial artists at Level Five of the Body Refinement Realm. Now that he was being suppressed by the Sword Will, he could kill four. It seemed like he did not waste the previous seven days.
Li Hu's current score was exactly the same as Xia Ye's. However, Xia Ye had already come out, but he was still inside. As long as he killed one more martial artist, he would be able to surpass Xia Ye.
"What's wrong with Lu Xuan? He only got one point and is in last place?" Xia Ye asked in surprise when he saw Lu Xuan's score. He was already very satisfied with his score as it was his true strength. However, he did not expect Lu Xuan to only get one point.
"Lu Xuan might be training his Sword Will in the Sword Forest and has not exerted his strength yet," Lin Xinyi said.
A look of realization flashed across Xia Ye's face when she heard that. So that's how it is. Everything makes sense now. Lu Xuan had sensed a hint of sword will back when he was taking the assessment in Lin City. Using the Sword Forest to hone his sword will during the assessment was nothing out of the ordinary for him.
Seeing that Xia Ye and Lin Xinyi seemed to think that Lu Xuan was comprehending the Sword Will and did not doubt it at all, Xing Feng was a little confused. Could it be that Lu Xuan had really comprehended the Sword Will?
As they were thinking, the name on the Ranking Stone Tablet suddenly moved. Li Hu actually got another 100 points and surpassed Xia Ye instantly.
Seeing that Xia Ye was left behind by Li Hu, Elder Cheng's face darkened. In reality, he should have been prepared long ago. After all, Li Hu was the top disciple among the new disciples of the Fist Faction. Although Xia Ye was not bad, he was not at the level of the top disciple.
"Xia Ye, you've been overtaken by him. You've lost again this round." Xing Feng clenched his fists and said in a low voice.
"Who said he lost?" "I know my own strength very well. Being defeated by Li Hu is within my expectations. However, his opponent is not me," Xia Ye said in an undeniable manner.
Xing Feng was slightly taken aback, but he immediately understood. "You're saying that Lu Xuan might make a comeback?"
"It's not a possibility, it's a certainty!" Lin Xinyi added.
Xing Feng shook his head. "It's difficult. Even if it's really as you said and Lu Xuan is comprehending sword intent, he has stayed in the Sword Forest for so long. His Origin Energy has been greatly depleted. How will he be able to handle the high intensity battles that follow?"
Hearing that, Xia Ye and Elder Cheng were instantly speechless. Xing Feng's words were very accurate. The depletion of Origin Energy was indeed a problem. For a moment, the two of them could not help but start to worry for Lu Xuan.
Li Hu still did not come out. He was a disciple of the Fist Faction, which was different from the Sword Faction. The Sword Faction usually killed their enemies with one strike and was extremely fast. However, the Fist Faction walked a steady path.
And at this moment, on the Ranking Stone Tablet, Li Hu's points jumped again, directly increasing by 500 points! He had already started killing martial artists at the sixth level of the Body Refinement Realm!
Xing Feng's face instantly turned solemn. His result was only killing two martial artists at the sixth level of the Body Refinement Realm, and he had done it at the risk of being injured. If Li Hu could kill another martial artist, he would be on par with him. If he killed two more, it would be enough to surpass him!
The crowd instantly quietened down, and everyone stared at the names on the Ranking Stone Tablet.
As everyone expected, after 10 breaths of time, Li Hu's points increased by 500 points again, reaching 1,700 points. At this moment, he was already on par with Xing Feng at second place. More importantly, Li Hu still did not come out. Just from this alone, Li Hu's strength had already surpassed Xing Feng.
After another 15 breaths of time, Li Hu's points jumped again!
2,300 points, directly shaking off Xing Feng and pushing him to third place.
Xing Feng's heart suddenly sank. He had already been surpassed by Li Hu!
Fortunately, after a few breaths of time, a ray of light lit up, and Li Hu's body appeared before the Sword Forest. His points were fixed at 2,300 points.
But even so, he was currently at second place on the overall rankings, suppressing Xing Feng and only second to Zheng Gang.
Glancing at the Ranking Stone Tablet and seeing that he was at second place, Li Hu instantly couldn't help but burst into laughter. "I said it before, Senior Brother Zheng is ashamed of my inferiority, but the so-called geniuses of your Sword Faction are nothing more than this! Hmm? Why don't I see Lu Xuan's name? "
As he finished speaking, Li Hu started looking for Lu Xuan's name instead. Because he'd looked through the top 20 yet actually didn't see Lu Xuan's name at all, and he was truly unable to wrap his head around it.
"Haha, Junior Brother Li, there's no need to look. That Lu Xuan is at the last, and he's only a despicable person that knows how to boast." Zheng Gang roared with laughter. "The Sword Sect is really declining year by year. Even such a person has actually snuck into the sect."
Li Hu's gaze moved down when he heard Zheng Gang. Sure enough, he saw Lu Xuan's name at the last, and it was only a single point.
However, a trace of doubt arose in his heart. That's not right. When Elder Sun told me, he praised Lu Xuan to be extremely formidable. He passed through the 6th level of the Sword Pagoda when he was only at the 4th level of the Body Refinement Realm, so how could he only get a single point?
While he was puzzled, Zheng Gang bowed to Elder Jin and said, "Elder Jin, I think that Lu Xuan is here to spoil the entrance test. He deliberately stopped moving after killing an enemy in order to stall for time. This kind of behavior is truly despicable! I think that this person should be directly disqualified from the entrance test, and it wouldn't be too much to even expel him from the sect. "
"This fellow has gone too far!" Lin Xinyi's face was filled with anger.
"Let's see what Elder Jin has to say. Lu Xuan won't really be disqualified, right?" Xia Ye said with a worried expression, and then she could not help but grumble, "Lu Xuan is really too much. He doesn't even know the time when he cultivates. If Elder Jin is really persuaded by Zheng Gang and expel Lu Xuan from the Wind Sword School, then it'll be a big problem."
Hearing Zheng Gang's words, Elder Jin pondered for a moment, then turned to the Sword Sect and said, "Elder Cheng, what's going on with this disciple of your Sword Sect? If he's really here to spoil the entrance test, then don't blame me for being merciless. "
Hearing this, Elder Cheng bowed and said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "Vice Sect Leader, I believe Vice Sect Leader also knows that the sword intent in the Sword Forest is greatly beneficial to the people of our Sword Sect. Our sect's Lu Xuan is extremely talented, and it's very likely that he comprehended the sword intent in the Sword Forest. Once he finishes comprehending it, his strength will definitely improve greatly!"
As soon as Elder Cheng finished speaking, a cold snort was heard. Elder Zheng of the Saber Sect, who was also Zheng Gang's father, had a face full of ridicule.
"Elder Cheng, are you trying to coax a three year old? Whether his talent is high or not isn't up to you to decide. A mere kid at the 5th level of the Body Refinement Realm dares to talk nonsense about comprehending sword intent? In my opinion, he was obviously instructed by your Sword Sect's Elder to intentionally spoil the entrance test! "
Elder Cheng's brows knit together when he saw Elder Zheng actually slandering the Sword Sect, and a trace of anger appeared on his face as he shouted loudly, "Elder Zheng, the dignity of my Sword Sect isn't something you can insult! If you dare to slander my Sword Sect again, then let's fight before the Sword Forest today! "
