Chapter 575

Clang, clang, clang. The sound of the long saber cutting the sword still echoed in their ears. The bronze-colored figure seemed to still be lingering in their eyes. Most of the Kung Fu Masters who were watching the battle from the high platform could not come back to their senses for a long time. They were intoxicated by the primitive beauty of the battle. Their attacks were brilliant, their defenses were beautiful, and their blood was boiling.

They only came back to their senses when Mengqi and Wang Zai shouted, "That's great!"

Jin Jinxian sighed with both shock and emotion. "I thought Young Master Su's 28 consecutive strikes and my Crimson Moon Swordsmanship at its peak were his strongest moves apart from the Exterior bladesmanship. It was his most complete display of strength. But today, I know how strong he is. If he goes all out, I'm afraid I won't be able to take more than three strikes."

He was so shocked that he forgot to call himself an old man.

The three strikes he mentioned were Mortal Dust Fall, Yama's Invitation, and Peace Quietude Split. Among those below the Half-step Exterior Scenery in Yedu, Wang Zai was probably the only one who could block them. As for the others, it would be considered a success if they could last until the third strike!

Luo Youfeng's face was pale and lifeless. He was speechless as he looked at Mengqi and Wang Zai. He had thought that he had been defeated by the Thunder Blade Furious Monk with just one strike because he had underestimated him. If he had been more cautious, he would have been able to take more than three strikes even if the monk used the Exterior bladesmanship. Who knew that Mengqi's performance today would have poured cold water on him and made him understand one thing:

As long as the Blade Furious Monk wanted to, he could defeat him with one strike at any time!

The Martial Club Principal, who had a good understanding of the Noble Spirit, laughed at himself and said, "I underestimated the Right-guarding Sword. I always thought that he was on the Ranking List of Young Masters because of his Peerless Godly Kung Fu, but now it seems that he lives up to his name. His understanding and mastery of the Nine Sage Swords, as well as the techniques and realms of his moves, are far better than mine. Alas, I've lived for 50 years like a fool."

"That's true. I didn't expect Young Master Wang to have also learned the other ultimate move of the Noble Spirit, 'The Unmovable of Poverty', and combined it with 'The Invincible Benevolent'. His defense is impregnable." Jin Jinxian sighed again. "I'm afraid he didn't even use half of his strength when I sparred with him."

Wang Zai had previously made a name for himself with his Unstoppable Might and his Exterior-level sword move, Invincible Benevolence. Therefore, Jin Jinxian was not surprised by this.

Wang Zai's Peerless Godly Kung Fu was famous because he had mastered the Qi of the Taoism and the Fu, so he could become one with the Exterior and reach the power of the Dharma. The King Wang Taoists Kung Fu was also known as. Wang. and he., and he., and, and, and, and, and of a,., and, and, and, and, and, and they, he, the, and, and, he, he, he, King Fu., he, the.., he., and.

With the cultivator's understanding and interpretation of the Confucian scriptures, and with the pureness and strength of his Noble Spirit, he would gradually become one with heaven and earth. These three supreme skills would also reach the level of the Exterior, reaching the power of Dharmakaya, and truly reveal their true colors.

During the enlightenment period, Wang Zai could only master the Noble Spirit, which was similar to the Sacrifice Formula. It could communicate with the Noble Spirit between heaven and earth and strengthen one's body in a short time. As long as one's realm was the same, he could reach the level of any strong enemy. The Unmovable Poverty was a special defensive skill. It was the summary of Dharma and Logos and could be matched with any defensive move. The Unmovable Wealth was a heart sutra. It could strengthen the Vital Spirit, strengthen the spirit, clear the mind, and resist the influence of illusion and charm. Wang Zai had recovered so quickly from the attack of the Ananda Oath-breaking Bladesmanship because of the Unmovable Wealth.

However, the human heart was full of complicated thoughts. There were many things that were difficult to let go of and things that could not be pursued. Wang Zai could only grasp the surface of "Don't be lustful to riches and honor". Even in the past three hundred years, only one person in the Wang family had truly mastered "Don't be lustful to riches and honor". That person was the great Confucian sage who passed away in meditation two hundred years ago. Facing such a person, neither the Mortal Dust Fall nor the Peace Quietude Split could disturb his heart.

"As for the Mad Blade who defeated Childe Wang, his strength …" Another Martial Club Principal seemed to be still immersed in the scene of the battle. "The world is big, and there is always someone better than you. We don't leave Zhou County and rely on the Ranking List of Young Masters to get information from other places. It's inevitable that we're frogs at the bottom of a well."

There were many dangers in traveling. Many sons of the heirs of aristocratic families had died in the process. Therefore, many people did not dare to travel too far. At most, they would travel around Yedu, Zhou County, or Huan Province.

"Young Master Su's strength is already in the top 20 of the Ranking List of Young Masters. After this battle, all doubts about him will disappear completely." Jin Jinxian had a very good impression of Mengqi, who had been courteous to him.

Luo Youfeng muttered to himself in a daze, "Wang Zai is almost 21 years old. The Thunder Blade Furious Monk, he …"

His words shocked everyone. Only now did they remember that the Thunder Blade Furious Monk seemed to be very young!

The interval between each generation of Shaolin Temple was not fixed. It depended on the environment of Wulin World at that time and the cultivation of the generation. However, one thing was certain. The Zhen generation started at most eight or nine years ago, and most of the disciples were children. It was said that Zhen Ding was from the previous generation, so he was at most 19 years old, maybe even 16 or 17!

How could they not be shocked? How could they not be shocked?

Even the Demoness of Grand Luo was around this age when she made a name for herself!

"I've lived my life like a dog …" The Martial Club Principal who had mocked himself before shook his head and sighed.

On the high platform where the Wang family was, Wang Ce looked shocked and ashamed. He did not look as gloomy as before. Wang Nayan chuckled and said, "Zai 'er is not bad, and Little Su is even better. If there are no other difficulties, their path to the Exterior realm is smooth sailing."

"I thought I could figure out Master Su's strength. I didn't expect him to open my eyes again." Kong Yu's desire to recruit Mengqi became more intense.

Qi Zhengyan watched in a daze. Mengqi's strength was even more powerful than when he had sparred with him.

"Compared to Junior Brother Meng and Wang Zai, I'm still far behind. Even if I make it to the Ranking List of Young Masters, I'll at most be below 40 …" He exhaled softly.

At this time, most people had calmed down and were cheering from the bottom of their hearts. This was the highest level of competition many of them had seen so far. It had completely exceeded their expectations!

"I admit it." Mengqi put away his long saber after shouting "I admit it" and smiled with his hands folded in front of his chest.

He had won by a narrow margin. If the fight had continued, his spirit would not have been able to take it.

Wang Zai put his long sword back. He did not feel depressed at all. He smiled calmly and said, "I lost happily!"

He was in a good state, but his body was still trembling slightly. Mengqi knew that Wang Zai still had tricks up his sleeves, such as another "Unstoppable". However, such a move could cause great harm to his body, so Wang Zai chose to admit defeat.

Of course, Wang Zai still had tricks up his sleeves. Not to mention the thunderbolt mark and the Purple Death, he had not used the "Sacrifice Formula".

Mengqi was about to express his similarly happy mood and the feeling that he had met his match when he suddenly heard the words "Reckless Monk" mixed in the cheers. His expression froze.

"Why did I fight so hard just now … I fought so happily that I forgot myself … My image is completely ruined …" Mengqi wanted to bang his head against the wall. Coupled with the throbbing pain in his head, he could only force a smile. His smile was uglier than crying.

"Brother Su, what's wrong?" Wang Zai asked with concern when he noticed Mengqi's voice.

"It's nothing. It's just a throbbing pain caused by the exhaustion of my spirit." Mengqi looked at the sky speechlessly.

Both of them were exhausted, so they returned to the high platform to greet Wang Nayan, Kong Yu, and the others before leaving.

…

A month later, the latest Ranking List of Young Masters was published and posted at the gates of the Six Fan School.

Many people from the Martial Arts World gathered to watch. It was lively and incessant discussion. Even someone as skilled as Mengqi almost failed to join in.

"The Fairy of the Extinctive Sword has killed a Half-step Exterior Scenery master!" An exclamation startled Mengqi, who had just arrived. "Why did Jiang Zhiwei fight so hard? Even if she wanted to enlighten the Apertures without leaving a way out, there was no need to find a Half-step Exterior Scenery master! "

He looked at the Ranking List of Young Masters with concern. After the "Ledgerkeeper of Lives" was the "Fairy of the Extinctive Sword", Jiang Zhiwei!

"Name: Jiang Zhiwei."

"Kung Fu: … All the enlightened Apertures sword skills recorded in the Sutra of Swordplay. She has mastered the Dharmakaya-level killing move 'Anatta Sword' and is suspected to have mastered the Exterior-level sword move 'Hitting the Sea'. She is suspected to have created her own killing move and has mastered the essence of swordsmanship."

"Battle record: … On the 15th of the first month, in Longnan, she encountered the old Protector of the Fragrance Sect, 'Heartless Fighter'. At that time, the earth cracked and rocks rolled down. She showed the power of a Half-step Exterior Scenery master. However, she used the 'Anatta Sword' that Sword God Su was famous for in the past. The sword light filled the sky and changed the color of heaven and earth. She severely injured the Heartless Fighter. After a bloody battle, she used the Exterior-level sword move 'Hitting the Sea' to kill her opponent. She may have opened the Eight Apertures during the battle. Later, she escaped with injuries and her whereabouts are unknown."

"Evaluation: Expected to become a Sword God."

"Ranking: Fourth."

"Nickname: Fairy of the Extinctive Sword, Beautiful Yama."

"Identity: Heir of the Sword Washing Pavilion, only disciple of 'Outer-sky God Sword' Su Wuming."

This battle was so sensational that the Six Fan School had a lot of descriptions and comments.

When the people of the Martial Arts World saw this, they were all silent. No one said a word.

Mengqi exhaled. He admired and yearned for Jiang Zhiwei, but he also let go of his worries. Jiang Zhiwei had a Recover Pill. Escaping with serious injuries meant that she was safe. Since she had already broken through, she should be meditating in the secret place, digesting what she had learned, consolidating her realm, and waiting for the Death Task.

"But why is she only fourth?" Mengqi felt a little indignant. He immediately thought of Duo Ercha, who was killed by Gu Xiaosang. Although he was seriously injured at that time, Gu Xiaosang was not in a good state. Most of the time, she was in the state of Little Zi and did not fight seriously at all.

In addition, "Heartless Fighter" was seriously injured and never reached the Exterior. No wonder the Six Fan School ranked him so high.

He continued to read, and it didn't take long for him to see his name.

"Name: Su Meng. Former Dharma name: Zhen Ding."

"Kung Fu: Six or Seven Apertures, the sixth pass of Golden Bell Shield, amazing brute force, strong spirit; left sword and right saber, exquisite swordsmanship, good at fighting and killing; bladesmanship has obtained the Gist of Trueness of the first and second moves of Ananda Oath-breaking Bladesmanship, which can be used continuously without activating Blood Essence, and has mastered the essence. Bladesmanship has enlightened the Apertures and is in the realm of transformation, able to be hard or soft, fierce or crafty, or fast or powerful.

"Battle record: Killed 'White-headed Vulture' An Guoxie; drew a Sky Thunder to behead 'Green Jade Hand' Yuan Mengzhi; trampled through the Evil Ridge; defeated 'Rising Yama' You Huanduo head-on; defeated 'Right-guarding Sword' Wang Zai by half a stroke on the drill ground of Yedu County Government.

"Ranking: 19th."

"Nickname: Killing Blade, Reckless Monk, Thunder Blade Furious Monk."

"Identity: Abandoned disciple of Shaolin Temple."

"Where's the Killing Blade …" Mengqi almost fainted. "What the hell is Killing Blade?"

Voices of evaluation gradually rose from the surroundings. They were all showing off that they had witnessed the battle and were full of admiration for Killing Blade Su Meng, as if they could not wait to be his disciple.

Mengqi quietly left the crowd.

…

At the beginning of April, the Military Selection in Huan Province began. Talents from all counties gathered and Yedu was bustling with noise and excitement.

During this period, Mengqi had been challenging one person every few days. He had fought almost all the famous Enlightened Acupores Masters in Yedu without losing a single one.

In this kind of training, he had improved too fast. His unstable foundation of Kung Fu was really stabilized. He had basically mastered the "Outline of Heavenly Knife", and his "Purple Thunder Bladesmanship" was only a step away from combining Knife Intent with moves.

On this day, he wore a black suit and carried a sword and knife on his back. He walked toward the yamen of Six Fan School in Huan Province, followed by Green-ribbon Arrester Kong Yu.

"This Military Selection will be divided into 12 groups: A, B, C, D, and so on. Each group has 50 people. They will fight each other in a cycle. The top five will be promoted, and the rest will be eliminated. The top 30 will be promoted to Luoyang, but the remaining 30 will continue to fight until the top three are decided." Kong Yu casually introduced the rules of the Military Selection to Mengqi. This was to a large extent to prevent masters from being eliminated accidentally.

Mengqi nodded slightly, not caring about the rules.

Kong Yu laughed. "I'm being long-winded. With your strength, Meng, since Wang Zai has chosen to go out to train again, you will definitely be the champion. Why do you care about other things?"

In the past few months, they had become more familiar with each other, and the way they addressed each other had become more casual. Kong Yu also noticed that under Mengqi's heroic and masculine appearance, there was a hidden easygoing and interesting side.

"Old Kong, which group am I in?" Mengqi asked casually.

"Group D. There are quite a few candidates whose realms or strength have reached Nine Acupores. They can be considered your strong opponents. There's' Iron Sword of Hui County 'Gao Yang,' Earth-splitting Palm 'Guo Quan …" As the Green-ribbon Arrester of the Six Fan School, Kong Yu was very familiar with the Military Selection.

Mengqi listened quietly. He did not underestimate any of his opponents.

In the martial arts hall of Group D. 'Earth-splitting Palm' Guo Quan looked around calmly. He looked at the 'Iron Sword of Hui County' who was standing with his sword in his arms, and then looked at the other strong opponents.

Suddenly, he felt something and looked to the door. He saw a young man in black walking in. He carried a knife and a sword on his back, looking heroic and extraordinary. His imposing manner was restrained, as if he was an ordinary person.

The words' Killing Blade 'appeared in Guo Quan's mind. The records of the Ranking List of Young Masters and the detailed information he had obtained through various channels appeared in his mind.

The other martial examinees also recognized the identity of the newcomer. Some were surprised, some were fearful, some were respectful, and some were excited.

Guo Quan swallowed his saliva and looked at the approaching Mengqi. He cupped his hands in respect and said,

"Young Hero Su, you should be the champion of this Military Selection."

No one objected. A person's reputation was like a tree's shadow!

Many of them had even seen the battle between Mengqi and Wang Zai with their own eyes. The scene left a deep impression on them, and they admired Mengqi's strength.

They followed suit and bowed.

"Young Hero Su, you should be the champion of this Military Selection!"
