As the students participating in the Hunter King Competition set off to hunt, the remaining students didn't stay idle either. They immediately began to search for targets and choose their first opponent.
The battle for the Dragon Subduing First Seat didn't just test one's battle prowess. It also included one's foresight in picking enemies, battle tactics, and a reasonable allocation of stamina.
Because the Autumn Hunting Ceremony had already been held many times, the rules were already very complete. There were no loopholes that could be exploited, so the ones who stood out were definitely the strong ones.
In order to become the champion, one had to go through at least ten battles. Thus, many students would choose weaker opponents in the early stages.
This was a test of eyesight.
Of course, there were also some people who did not need good eyesight to be able to see that they were weaker, such as Xiao Ri-nan.
Although this guy still had the reputation of being a genius a few months ago, both his legs had been broken by Wanyan Zhenghe, and he was now using crutches. No matter how one looked at it, he looked like a rookie that was giving away free points.
"Student Xiao, please fight!"
A boy approached him, but before Xiao RiNan could open his mouth, someone else interrupted.
"Hey, don't you know first come first served? This guy is mine!"
A 1.9m tall young man walked over with a ferocious look in his eyes. However, this didn't scare the others. There were more than ten people who surrounded them.
"Hey, do you guys still have any shame?"
A few girls passed by and saw this scene. They immediately shouted with righteous indignation.
The students were all teenagers who cared about their reputation. When they heard this, they all felt a little ashamed. However, the 1.9 meters tall Luotan looked calm.
"This is called strategy, understand? The Central Plains pay particular attention to Tian Ji's horse racing, and I've chosen the weakest one. "
Lotan argued.
A girl with red cheeks from the highlands rolled her eyes. "Tian Ji's horse racing is not used like this. It's not your fault that you don't study, but it's your fault for spouting nonsense."
"You're courting death …"
Luo Tan cursed angrily. He knew that this girl was called Sang Duo. Not only was she beautiful, but she could also pull a bow and play with a knife. She could also play the four arts. She was a talented girl.
He really couldn't refute the other party's scolding of him for being uncultured.
"If you are really strong, then go and challenge Basang Zhuoma!"
Sang Duo was being sarcastic.
"If Basan can enter the finals, I will fight him."
Lotan said confidently, but he was mocking Basang Zhuoma in his heart. Is there something wrong with my brain? Why would I go and fight with Basang Zhuoma? He is a prodigy whose strength is firmly in the top five in the school. If I go and fight with him, my head will be smashed in less than ten rounds.
"If you don't dare, then get lost. What kind of ability is bullying Xiao RiNan?"
Sang Duo actually liked Xiao Ri-nan. Otherwise, she wouldn't have jumped out to help him out of trouble.
Sigh!
What a pity. If Xiao RiNan's leg wasn't broken, dealing with a person like Lotan would be no different from killing a chicken.
Thinking of this, Sang Duo's gaze landed on Xiao RiNan's legs, then looked at his crutches and sighed deeply.
A genius was crippled just like that. That Wanyan Zhenghe was truly detestable.
"It's none of your business. Besides, Xiao RiNan also has the reputation of being a genius! "
Lotan argued and did not want to let go of the duck that was already in his mouth.
His goal was to fight his way into the top 100 because there would be very good rewards. Hence, he didn't hesitate to use some methods.
Moreover, with Xiao RiNan's current appearance, he would eventually lose. Rather than letting others benefit, why not let me benefit?
"You're shameless!"
Sang Duo cursed and rolled up her sleeves with one hand. "If you have the ability, fight with me!"
Barbarian girls were just that bold and powerful.
"Hey, don't be so shameless."
Lotan was gloomy.
Although the school didn't prohibit battles between males and females, generally speaking, unless it was the last few matches where they had no choice but to fight, the males would definitely not choose the females. Because to the males of the grassland, even if they won, it would be embarrassing.
"Forget it, forget it. I'm not fighting anymore."
Looking at the hostile gazes of the few girls, Lotan waved his hand in irritation and turned to leave. He was still cursing, "Damn, so what if you are handsome? Xiao RiNan, when your leg is healed, I will definitely disfigure you. "
"Why wait until my leg is healed? Come at me now! "
Xiao RiNan, who had been silent all this while, looked at Lotan and issued a challenge with a calm expression.
He didn't come here to watch a show.
He wanted to prove himself. I can still fight!
When the other males saw Xiao RiNan being protected by Sang Duo and the others, they felt displeased and could only leave. When they heard this, they were all stunned.
Could it be that this fellow had gone mad?
He let you off, and you actually dared to provoke him?
"Xiao RiNan, are you crazy?"
Sang Duo was shocked.
"Thank you for your kind intentions, but this is a matter between males."
Xiao RiNan refused. "Lotan, come at me!"
"Haha, if you want to court death, then don't blame me!"
Lotan was happy and even gave a thumbs up. "But I have to praise you. You really have courage."
Sang Duo was anxious. This was obviously Xiao RiNan wanting to save face. If he insisted on standing out, he would be beaten to a pulp. No, I have to stop him.
At this moment, Sang Duo, who was originally very intelligent, suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Then, she shouted with a joyful expression, "Wait, this duel is not valid."
"Aren't you annoying? You think it's not valid just because you say so? "
Lotan was speechless and a little envious. Such a protective fangirl, give me one too!
"Xiao RiNan's leg is broken. It's impossible for him to reach Crimson Rock Mountain within the stipulated time, so he's not qualified to participate in the battle of the chief disciples."
After Sang Duo finished speaking, everyone was stunned. Then, they came back to their senses and looked at Xiao RiNan's crutches.
"F * ck you, what a waste of time."
Lotan cursed and even gave himself a light slap, preparing to leave.
He was also stupid. He only cared about picking up noobs and forgot about this matter. Unless Xiao RiNan rode a horse, it was impossible for him to reach here.
And it was against the rules for a student to ride a horse, so even if he won against him, it would be invalid.
"Hey!"
Xiao RiNan didn't waste words. Instead, he took out a fingernail-sized bronze emblem from his pocket and showed it to Lotan.
"You …"
Everyone was shocked because this emblem represented that he was qualified to participate in the competition.
"Don't waste time. Let's fight!"
Xiao RiNan urged. Then, he coughed and covered his mouth with his hand.
"Haha, then I won't hold back!"
Lotan licked the corner of his lips, worried that things might change if he delayed. Hence, he quickly bowed.
"Lotan, spirit-refinement realm, 68 acupoints opened. Please guide me!"
Hearing this cultivation level, the guys frowned, while Sang Duo's face was filled with worry.
This Lotan was very strong!
"Xiao RiNan, spirit-refinement realm, 98 acupoints opened. Please guide me!"
Hearing the number of acupoints Xiao RiNan had opened, Lotan's heart jumped. As expected of a genius. If Xiao RiNan's leg wasn't broken, he would definitely not be a match for him.
"The difference in cultivation level isn't small. Are you sure you want to fight?"
Xiao RiNan smiled and asked.
According to the rules, if there was a difference of three levels, a duel wouldn't be allowed. However, the Autumn Hunting Ceremony was an exception. Geniuses were people who could turn the impossible into the possible. Hence, the Dragon Subduing Academy encouraged people to challenge those of a higher cultivation level.
Of course, high-level experts weren't allowed to take the initiative to challenge those of a lower cultivation level.
"I don't need you to worry about me!"
Lotan drew his curved blade and stared at Xiao RiNan, contemplating his battle strategy. He had to kill Xiao RiNan in a single strike. Otherwise, if they were to get tangled up in a fight, it would be embarrassing for him.
Xiao RiNan looked at Lotan and his lips moved slightly, chanting an incantation at an extremely fast speed. After that, he bit his finger and smeared his blood on his palm, quickly drawing a spiritual communication formation and clapping his palms together.
Weng!
A circle of spirit qi waves spread out.
"What the hell?"
Lotan frowned. This looked like the spiritual communication technique, but he had never heard of Xiao RiNan knowing this.
As a well-known genius in the Dragon Subduing Academy, Xiao RiNan was proficient in blade arts. This was something that everyone knew.
Forget it, kill first!
Lotan charged forward and arrived before Xiao RiNan in a few blinks of an eye. After that, he let out an enraged bellow and slashed with his curved blade.
Surging Waves Turbid Water!
Halfway through Lotan's ultimate technique, he suddenly felt a large area of bites on his legs. It was as if he had been stung by a large group of hornets. It was extremely painful, causing his legs to go soft and his aura to subconsciously dissipate.
As for his attacking movements, they had long since changed.
Xiao RiNan wouldn't let go of such an excellent opportunity. He raised his walking stick and used it as a long blade, slashing at Lotan's neck.
Bang!
Lotan's eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground, unconscious.
"..."
The surroundings instantly fell silent. The students looked at the two of them with their eyes and mouths agape.
What was Lotan doing?
He was sending himself to death!
You can't even win against a cripple?
"Thanks for letting me win!"
Xiao RiNan smiled.
The spiritual control technique caught one off guard and attacked when they were unprepared. It was really useful!
Speaking of which, it seemed that it was really painful to have his legs bitten by a large group of bugs!
"What's going on?"
Sang Duo walked over and used her hand to poke Xiao RiNan's arm, hoping that he could explain.
"It's Teacher Sun who taught me the spiritual control technique!"
Xiao RiNan knew Sang Duo, but he wasn't familiar with her. Thinking of how she had protected him earlier, Xiao RiNan decided to treat her as a friend.
"Spiritual control technique?"
Sang Duo was surprised. "Teacher Sun knows this as well?"
"En!"
Xiao RiNan nodded, thinking that Teacher Sun knew so many things that you wouldn't be able to imagine.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Xiao RiNan + 500. Respect (1997/10000).
Xiao RiNan looked at the unconscious Lotan and sighed. If it wasn't for Teacher Sun's meticulous guidance, he would be the one being trampled on now.
"Why haven't I seen him use it before?"
Sang Duo frowned. "How high is his standard?"
"He's definitely at the grandmaster-grade!"
Xiao RiNan was very sure.
"Sssss!"
Sang Duo couldn't help but draw in a cold gasp. She glared at Xiao RiNan. "Are you sure you're not joking?"
"It can only be higher, not lower!"
Honestly speaking, if Xiao RiNan hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe it either.
"This Teacher Sun is really unfathomable!"
Sang Duo cried out involuntarily.
She had seen Teacher Sun defeating the dragonmen, but she hadn't seen Teacher Sun using the spiritual control technique throughout the entire process. This meant that he was doing it with ease.
Heavenly deities above, how strong was he?
The records that others yearned for were easily broken by Sun Mo when he held back his strength.
"That's right. It's really my fortune to be able to receive his guidance."
Xiao RiNan said this and bowed toward the south. That was the direction of the Central Plains.
"What's Lotan doing? Did he fail? "
"What an idiot! He can't even take down a cripple!"
"I keep feeling that something is wrong!"
The guys discussed and stared at Xiao RiNan suspiciously. They wanted to challenge him but didn't dare to. After all, Lotan, who was lying down, was the best example.
Xiao RiNan left with his walking stick.
Sang Duo chased after him and asked curiously, "Have you been cultivating under Teacher Sun recently?"
"En!"
Xiao RiNan nodded.
"How do you feel?"
Sang Duo turned her head and looked. Those over ten guys were clearly stunned and didn't dare to move recklessly.
