There was only one day left. The Martial Arts Competition would begin the next day. Hong Xiuzhen had signed up for Du Feng on her own initiative. If he didn't participate tomorrow, he would be a laughing stock.
"Master, you are here too."
The Martial Arts Competition would begin tomorrow. Feng Beibei couldn't help but come to Du Feng's room again. She happened to see her master, Hong Xiuzhen, standing there.
"Yes!"
Hong Xiuzhen nodded slightly. She didn't feel embarrassed. Because the honor of the Red Leaves Hall was tied to Du Feng. Not only the Senior Sisters, but also the Master.
"Master, Senior Sisters, you are all here."
After a while, the Second Senior Sister also came. After greeting them, the three of them waited at the door. They knew that if Du Feng didn't come out tomorrow morning, the Red Leaves Hall would lose. But even when the Third Senior Sister came, Du Feng still didn't go out. It was almost midnight.
At midnight, they had to go back to their rooms to rest. A female Master and three female disciples were waiting at the door of a male disciple's room. It would be bad if they didn't leave in the middle of the night.
"Let's go!"
Hong Xiuzhen looked at the door. Du Feng still didn't want to come out, so she turned around and left.
"Senior Sister, I'm leaving. You should go back too."
The Second Senior Sister and the Third Senior Sister left one after another. Only Feng Beibei stayed there. She felt that Du Feng wouldn't give up easily. Maybe he was at a critical juncture in his cultivation, so he didn't open the door. Maybe it would be tomorrow. Tomorrow would be the day of his great success.
In this way, Feng Beibei stood outside Du Feng's room until the middle of the night. If she stayed any longer, she would be questioned by the patrolling officers. She had to sigh and leave.
Du Feng came out of the room as soon as Feng Beibei left. In fact, he knew what was happening outside, but he couldn't stop because he was at a critical juncture in his cultivation. When Feng Beibei left, he had just broken through to the Initial Stage of Level 6 of the Earth Celestial Stage.
In fact, when he broke through to the later stage of Level 5, Du Feng considered whether he should stop or not. Because once one surpassed the 5th level of the Earthly Celestial Stage, one wouldn't be able to earn Contribution Points in the 1st level of the Sword Pagoda. However, when he thought about the Martial Arts Tournament tomorrow, every additional level of Cultivation meant a higher chance of winning. Thus, he worked hard and broke through to the early stage of the sixth level.
Although the Contribution Points in the Sword Pagoda's first floor were important, winning the Martial Competition was even more important. Moreover, if he broke through to Level 6 of the Earth Celestial Stage, he would have a greater chance of breaking the record on the second level of the Sword Pagoda.
So, after Feng Beibei left, Du Feng turned into a gust of wind and floated to the entrance of the sword pagoda.
"Stinking brat, why didn't you prepare for the Martial Competition tomorrow? Why did you come to the Sword Pagoda so late?"
Even though the old man guarding the sword pagoda was dozing off, in fact, no one could even think about sneaking into the sword pagoda. As soon as Du Feng arrived, he immediately knew.
"I'm going to try again before the competition."
The reason why Du Feng did this was firstly to verify his strength after practicing the Flying Shadow Streamlight Sword Art, and secondly to grasp the last opportunity at the end of the year. Because tomorrow was the last day of the year, there was still a martial arts competition. After tomorrow, this year's entries in the Sword Pagoda would be invalid.
"Okay, go in."
The old man was already very familiar with Du Feng. He knew that Du Feng still had one chance to try again. It would be a pity to waste it.
"Thank you!"
Du Feng thanked him and hurriedly slipped into the room. He was very anxious. After passing through the hall on the first floor of the Sword Pagoda, he went straight up the stairs to the second floor. Because time was precious, he had to go back to rest after completing the Sword Pagoda and adjust his state to the best. Tomorrow morning, he would participate in the Martial Arts Tournament.
He was already very familiar with the environment on the second floor of the Sword Pagoda. As long as he crossed the safety line, the swordsmen would immediately come out. If he wanted to kill all the swordsmen in the shortest time possible, he had to accumulate strength outside the safety line. After entering, he had to lure all the swordsmen out as fast as possible and kill them in the shortest time possible. The slightest delay would affect the final result.
Du Feng stayed outside the safety line for about 15 minutes. He assumed a charging posture and gathered the Riding Dragon Sword in front of him. From there, he actually used the first move, a forward thrust. This thrust was combined with his body movement. He became one with the sword and rushed into the safety line.
As soon as he rushed in, the swordsmen immediately appeared from above. However, Du Feng did not stop. He rushed from the outside to the innermost part of the Sword Pagoda in one breath. During this process, all 108 swordsmen appeared from above.
Backstab!
When he reached the innermost part of the Sword Pagoda, he suddenly changed his move from a forward thrust to a backward thrust. This thrust did not require him to turn around. Instead, he directly leaned back. Relying on the flexibility of his waist and the strength of his legs, his whole body shot backward. At the same time, the Riding Dragon Sword also killed its way forward.
It could be said that Du Feng did not use the first move of the Flying Shadow Flowing Light. Instead, he just became one with the sword and rushed in as fast as he could. At the same time, he was accumulating strength for the second move. The second backstab was his real intention. The sword light flashed so brightly that people could not open their eyes. The swordsmen then disintegrated into piles of parts and scattered on the ground.
His movements were as smooth as flowing water, and it only took him a breath's time to complete the two moves. However, Du Feng's attack was not over yet. After he used the backstab, he did not even look and followed up with an upward thrust. He did not even wait for the swordsmen leader to appear.
No, the swordsmen leader appeared. It appeared after he stabbed for the third time.
It was as if Du Feng had long known where it would appear. It was also as if the swordsmen leader had deliberately bumped into him. As soon as it appeared, before it could launch an attack, it was pierced by the sword and collapsed. It turned into a pile of parts and scattered on the ground.
"Phew …"
Du Feng put away his sword and took a deep breath. These three moves looked simple, but in fact, he needed to hold his breath to complete all of them in one breath. Moreover, the power must be sufficient. After three moves, he only dared to take a deep breath. He did not know if he had broken Uncle Wei's record, but it should not be a problem to surpass Zheng Kenan, Shan Tianfan, and Wei Yannan.
"Brat, not bad."
When he reached the exit of the sword pagoda, he realized that he had broken the record again. Because the eyes of the old man guarding the sword pagoda were shining with excitement. What could make the old man so excited? It could only be that Uncle Wei's name had been erased from the list on the second floor of the sword pagoda.
Yes, Du Feng was ranked first. Uncle Wei's name, which was originally in first place, had disappeared. The second place did not change. It was still Wei Yannan. The third and fourth places did not change either. Only the fifth place, Du Feng, had run to the front.
