Even though Zhang Xuan's reputation wasn't too good in the past, the reason why Lu Xun was able to rise to where he was today wasn't solely due to his talent and strength. More importantly, it was due to his mental fortitude. No matter what he encountered, he would deal with it calmly, without the slightest bit of arrogance or pride.
In order to confirm the name list for the duel, Wang Chong specially investigated Zhang Xuan's students and selected the best lineup from the entire school.
Based on the investigation, it was revealed that Zheng Yang and Mo Xiao had grown up together and practiced the spear at the same time. The latter's talent was clearly superior to the former, and Mo Xiao had won every single one of their battles.
This was precisely the reason why Wang Chong poached him from his good friend and had him impart the Wang Clan's spear to him.
Wang Chong thought that he had a high chance of winning, but... before the duel even started, he threw his spear away and admitted defeat...
Lu Xun felt his entire body trembling, and he was on the verge of going insane.
Just a moment ago, I managed to dupe that Kong Jie with just a few words and knocked him out with a single punch.
At most, I would have just spent 600,000 gold coins (3 million divided among five people). But you... What is wrong with you?
I have seen scammers, but I have never seen such a scammer!
You know that I stayed up the entire night to raise your cultivation so that I can win. Yet, after raising my cultivation and spending money, you admit defeat without even fighting...
"What is going on?"
"Of the two Zhenqi realm students, the first was sent flying with a single punch, and the second admitted defeat? What is going on? "
Wang Chao and Lu Xun weren't the only ones who were frenzied. The students and teachers watching the duel were also confused.
When they saw Lu laoshi bringing a Zhenqi realm student over, they thought that it would be a one-sided fight. Yet... it was indeed a one-sided fight. However, it was the other side...
Actually, not only was the crowd bewildered, even the person in question, Zhang Xuan, was perplexed.
When Mo Xiao and Zheng Yang fought, he was at Master Lu Chen's residence. As such, he didn't know that the two of them had crossed blows before. As such, he couldn't understand why Mo Xiao admitted defeat before the duel even started.
"The reason why I admitted defeat is because we had a private duel a few days ago. Zheng Yang defeated me with a single move! In fact, he could even kill me easily. "
Before Zhao Ya and the others could answer, Mo Xiao's voice sounded from the stage. His tone was frank and frank, without the slightest frustration or regret. Instead, it carried a trace of confidence.
"For the past few days, I've been trying to think of a way to resolve it. Initially, I thought that I would be able to resolve it with my immense strength after breaking through to the Zhenqi realm. After trying it out, he realized that he was still unable to block it. The moves that Zheng Yang learned from Miss Zhang reach the true meaning of spear dao. I'm afraid that I won't be able to understand it even if I study it for my entire life, much less block it. "
"Since I know that I will still be defeated by his spear if I continue to compete, I might as well admit defeat!"
Speaking up to this point, Mo Xiao cupped his fists at his good friend and smiled lightly. "Zheng Yang, you have a good teacher. You must cherish it!"
After that, he picked up the spear, turned around and walked back.
His voice resounded throughout the surroundings, and almost everyone heard it.
"Mo Xiao said that the moves that Miss Zhang imparted to him can't be deciphered even after studying them for a lifetime?"
"Doesn't that mean that it's even stronger than the Wang Clan's spear? How is that possible? "
"It's a duel, so logically speaking, he shouldn't have lied … Otherwise, wouldn't Lu laoshi have beaten him to death?"
…
Everyone widened their eyes in shock.
The Wang Clan's spear was simply too famous in Tianxuan Kingdom. Many people were able to recognize its moves, and it was the epitome of invincibility in spear arts.
Yet, Mo Xiao said that he wasn't a match for the other party at all … This caused everyone to explode.
"Looks like Zhang Xuan laoshi isn't as weak as the rumors make him out to be. On the contrary, he is extremely formidable!"
"Indeed. There were a total of five duels, and he has already won two consecutive victories. Could it be that Lu laoshi is going to lose?"
"No one knows for sure. Let's just hope that Lu laoshi can rise up in the future …"
…
Discussions could be heard in the surroundings. On the stage, Lu Xun's chest rose and fell, and his face turned greener and greener.
The heck, what the heck did he teach all of you? This isn't how you should scam a teacher, right?
What do you mean by that last sentence of yours?
Zheng Yang has a good teacher … Don't you have a good teacher as well?
I spent three million to buy pills for you all, expending zhenqi to raise your cultivation, and in the end … this is what I get?
Even though he was infuriated, he knew that this wasn't the time to flare up. If he were to lose his temper, the prestige that he had built up over the years would crumble.
He glanced at the surroundings.
There were only three people who hadn't fought yet.
Bai Chao, Du Lei, and Zhu Hong.
Bai Chao specialized in fist techniques, and he specialized in countering Liu Yang, who had a problem with the meridians in his right hand.
Du Lei's leg technique was formidable, and his speed was incredible. On top of that, he had imparted a powerful movement technique to him, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to deal with Wang Ying.
As for Zhu Hong, he was facing Zhao Ying.
After losing two consecutive rounds, he had to win the next one. Otherwise, the more he fought, the more embarrassing it would be.
"Du Lei, you go!"
After much consideration, he decided to send Du Lei over.
Based on his investigations, Wang Ying had a weak personality. As long as Du Lei attacked swiftly, she would definitely be intimidated.
Besides, even if Du Lei wasn't able to win, he would still be able to escape safely with his movement technique. At the very least, he wouldn't be defeated like the previous two rounds.
Du Lei nodded his head and walked onto the stage.
"Wang Ying!"
Seeing the other party send out their representative, Zhang Xuan waved his hands.
Wang Ying replied. With a reddened face, she walked up.
On the main spectator stand.
"As expected of Lu laoshi. After losing two consecutive rounds, he managed to see through Zhang Xuan's flaws."
Shen Bi Ru frowned worriedly.
"Flaws? What flaws? "Han Qiong was perplexed.
"This Wang Ying is the only daughter of clan head Wang Hong, one of the Four Great Clans. She has a weak personality and an innocent personality. She trusts others easily. Of the five students of Zhang Xuan laoshi, she is the one who is the easiest to defeat. "
Shen Bi Ru said.
"If that's the case, then it is indeed Zhang Xuan's flaws."
Han Qiong nodded her head.
Cultivators were born to defy the heavens. If they were to have a weak personality, they would be at a disadvantage in a battle.
"Not only so, this Wang Ying was injured when she was young, causing her leg to be crippled. She is able to walk normally, but in a battle, her leg defect would appear. For this matter, clan head Wang Hong had invited all of the famous physicians in the capital. Even Master Yuanyu had tried to treat her, but they were all helpless before her. "
Shen Bi Ru had a detailed understanding of Wang Ying's affairs. "That is to say … this Wang Ying's leg is unable to fight."
"Ah?"
Han Qiong was taken aback. Clearly, she didn't expect such a situation to occur.
"As for this Du Lei, he was once Chen Hong laoshi's student."
"Chen Hong laoshi? The academy's Chen Hong laoshi who specializes in movement techniques? "
"Un, that's him! Du Lei possesses the best movement technique among all of the students, and his speed is extremely fast. To use such a person to deal with Wang Ying, who has an injured leg, if this isn't a flaw, what else can it be? "At this point, Shen Bi Ru shakes her head," Looks like Wang Ying … is bound to lose this duel! "
…
"Please … I look forward to your guidance!"
On the stage, Wang Ying's face reddened as she clasped her hands toward Du Lei.
"I don't dare to offer guidance. If you want to fight, let's begin!"
Knowing that he had to win this duel, Du Lei's eyebrows shot up. Stepping on the ground, he charged forward.
His speed was as fast as an arrow released from a bow.
"So fast!"
"Is he really a Fighter 3-dan? Even a 4-dan Pigu realm expert wouldn't possess such speed, right? "
"This move is called 【Illusory Shadows Nine Celestial Steps】. It is Lu laoshi's famed ultimate technique. To think that Lu laoshi would be so generous to impart this move to Du Lei!"
"Illusory Shadows Nine Celestial Steps? Hongtian Academy's highest movement technique? One of the top techniques in Tianxuan Kingdom? "
"That's right!"
"I have dreamed of this move. If only I could learn it. That Wang Ying would probably be in for a tough fight!"
…
Many of the students recognized Du Lei's movement technique and they were astonished.
Illusory Shadows Nine Celestial Steps was an extremely formidable movement technique. Lu laoshi had used this movement technique to defeat many experts. No one could have imagined that he would impart it to Du Lei.
Even though Du Lei had only learned the simplest part of it, it was still an ability that no expert of the same cultivation realm could match up to.
Not to mention, Wang Ying's legs were flawed and her cultivation realm was only at Dantian realm.
Contrary to the astonishment of the crowd, upon seeing Du Lei's swift attack, Wang Ying gritted her teeth and twisted her body, dodging the attack.
"Hehe, I would like to see how many of my moves you can dodge!"
Seeing that she was able to dodge his swift attack, Du Lei was perplexed. However, he paid it no heed. Sneering coldly, he drove the zhenqi in his body and his speed increased. Afterimages seemed to appear on the stage.
Illusory Shadows Nine Celestial Steps allowed one to create nine afterimages, making it difficult for one to differentiate between the real and the fake.
Even though Du Lei was still far from reaching the level of nine afterimages, his movements were still illusory, making it difficult for one to discern the real from the fake.
"Too powerful!"
"With such speed, how can one fight against him when one can't even see him?"
The mouths of the students twitched. Putting themselves in Du Lei's shoes, they couldn't help but shake their heads.
Given their strength, how could they fight when they couldn't even see him?
"Du Lei is bound to win!"
Wang Chao chuckled.
The two consecutive slaps on his face had left a shadow in his heart. However, seeing that Du Lei wasn't as easily fooled as Kong Jie and wasn't as unreliable as Mo Xiao, Wang Chao heaved a sigh of relief.
As a Zhenqi realm expert, it would be embarrassing if he couldn't even defeat a Dantian realm lass with a problem in her leg.
"Indeed, with such speed, even if I were to suppress my cultivation realm, it would be difficult for me to deal with him, needless to say, this lass."
Stroking his beard, Elder Hong Hao suddenly chuckled, "Look, that Wang Ying is about to make a move..."
Wang Chao turned his gaze over and saw Wang Ying raising her right leg hesitantly, seemingly unsure of how to attack.
"Haha, against such a swift movement technique, one should use their hands. After all, the hands are more nimble than the legs! Even though her leg is injured, she still wants to use her leg. What a fool, it would be a miracle if she could land a kick... "
Sneering coldly, Wang Chao was just about to continue mocking her when the young lady kicked the illusory figure before her.
Peng!
Before Wang Chao could smile mockingly, the illusory figure before him suddenly stopped. With a reddened face, Du Lei was sent flying a dozen meters back before crashing heavily onto the ground. Large mouthfuls of blood spurted from his mouth.
"This Du Lei... I'm sorry, I tried my best to control myself, but I still used too much force..."
Wang Ying panicked. With an apologetic look, she was so embarrassed that she was on the verge of tears.
(Everyone can follow Laoya's Weibo and WeChat accounts and search for 'Sweeping the World'. Yesterday, I posted a picture of Wang Ying. It was created by a reader, and she looks extremely beautiful and adorable. Everyone can leave a comment or two on her.)
