Outside the hall, in the square.
Since it was a pure competition of weapons, both sides agreed to some rules. The most important one was that they could use Heaven's Origin Energy or Fate Wheel, but they could not use Heaven's Skill or secret skills. They could not even release their powers beyond the range of their bodies and weapons. Simply put, they could only use their powers to increase their physical attributes and strength. For example, they could use explosive powers or attach flames to their weapons. Other than that, they could not do anything else.
Apart from that, there was another rule that surprised everyone. Lu An was at the middle stage of Level Eight, but as long as his opponent was a Level Eight Heavenly Master, even if he was at the peak of Level Eight. What was even more surprising was that this rule was not proposed by the Hundred Weapon Sect, but by Wang Yangcheng.
When Wang Yangcheng proposed this rule, the Hundred Weapon Sect was shocked and wanted to object. However, after some consideration, Lu An did not object, which shocked the Hundred Weapon Sect even more. Since Lu An did not object, they did not have to force it. What was more, the three Sect Masters and the core patriarchs didn't forget that Lu An was from the Bagu Family after all. With the help of the ultimate Fate Wheel, it would be hard for people at the same realm to defeat him.
Later, Wang Yangcheng added another rule, which was that the Hundred Weapon Sect would decide the content of the five rounds. This shocked the Hundred Weapon Sect again. Wang Yangcheng was digging a hole for himself. Nobody knew if he was too confident in Lu An or if he was looking down on the Hundred Weapon Sect. To be honest, the Hundred Weapon Sect was disgusted by his repeated concessions. They wanted to win more and more.
Finally, there was the way to determine the winner. Because it was a weapon competition, in addition to admitting defeat and losing the ability to fight, there was another rule. If the weapon left the hand for more than two breaths, it would be considered a loss. Two breaths was long enough for a Level Eight Heavenly Master to do a lot of things.
The battle would take place in the square. Given the hardness of the square and the surrounding buildings, they would not be damaged by the battle. However, the battle could only take place in the square. The height of the battle was also limited to the height of the surrounding walls. The square was 600 feet long and wide, which was very small for a Level Eight Heavenly Master. It was basically a close combat battle. There was no way to retreat. They could only fight head-on.
Everyone stood on the platform outside the gate of the palace, including Lu An. Wang Yangcheng looked at Du Ji and asked, "Sect Master Du, what weapons will be used in the first battle?"
Du Ji was a very cautious and calm person. Even if it was the first of the five battles, he did not want to relax. The Hundred Weapons Sect claimed to be number one in terms of weapons, but in reality, some of the mainstream weapons could not be compared to the sects that specialized in them. For example, they couldn't compete with the Thousand Shadows Sect in terms of swords, and they weren't number one in terms of sabers either. However, other than the most mainstream sabers and swords, the other weapons were very qualified to compete for the first place.
After pondering for a while, Du Ji looked at Lu An and said, "Chief Lu, how about a spear match in the first match?"
Gun?
Lu An was slightly startled, but he did not object. He nodded and said, "Okay."
Lu An agreed, but Wang Yangcheng and the members of the Ice and Fire League frowned slightly. The people here were all smart and immediately understood Du Ji's intentions. Lu An was good at using daggers, this was a well-known fact. Daggers were the shortest weapons, while spears were the longest weapons. The two were polar opposites, which had a huge impact on a person's habit of using weapons. Not only would it not be able to improve one's strength, but it would also be a burden.
However, since both sides had agreed, no one else was qualified to say anything. Wang Yangcheng soon became very excited. The harder it was, the more he liked it!
Du Ji sent the core elder to look for someone. It did not take long for him to return, accompanied by a tall and strong elder. Du Ji was respectful. Although it was a spear match, the elder in the first match was only at the mid-level of level eight. Although this elder was at the end of the mid-level of level eight, and Lu An was only at the beginning of the mid-level of level eight, they were still in the same realm.
"Greetings, Sect Master!" The elder said respectfully to the three sect masters. The core elder had already told him what to do there. He could only win, not lose. This was the order he had been given.
After saluting, the elder looked at Lu An, cupped his hands, and said, "Chief Lu!"
Then, the elder's ring flashed, and in an instant, a weapon rack appeared in front of everyone. It was full of spears of different lengths, but there were two spears of each length. The material and workmanship were exactly the same.
Bang!
The elder directly took out the longest spear, which was nine feet long and close to ten feet long. When the people of the Ice Fire Alliance saw this scene, they gasped.
Among these spears, the shortest one was about seven feet long. Which spear would the Chief choose?
Lu An looked left and right. After thinking for a while, he raised his hand and took out a spear.
When everyone saw this, their bodies shook, and their eyes were full of astonishment!
The longest spear!
The exact same spear!
This spear was much taller than Lu An's, and the elder opposite him was taller than Lu An. Compared to Lu An, the ratio between man and spear was much more balanced. Lu An forced himself to choose the same spear as the other party. Was he not being too careless?
However, the spear had been chosen. Even if he had chosen the wrong one, he could not put down his pride to change it. Moreover, Lu An had no intention of changing it.
The elder put the weapon rack into his ring, held the spear in his hand, and cupped his hands to Lu An. "Chief Lu, please!"
"Please," Lu An said.
Immediately, the two figures flapped at the same time. In the next moment, they stood on opposite sides of the center of the square, separated by a hundred feet.
After entering the square, the atmosphere of the whole square suddenly became oppressive! Even the sky had become turbulent, and the auras of the two people were rippling out at an extremely fast speed!
Wang Yangcheng's eyes were wide and shining with excitement. He suddenly turned to the people of the Ice Fire Alliance and asked, "Who do you think will win?!"
The people of the Ice Fire Alliance were stunned. After all, the person who asked was Wang Yangcheng, so they had to answer. Liu Yi did not answer. Instead, she looked at Dong Huashun and said, "Tell me the truth."
Dong Huashun was stunned. Then, he frowned and said while thinking, "If the Chief does not use a spear, even if he does not use any weapon, he will definitely win this battle."
Although Dong Huashun's voice was not loud, everyone present was powerful enough to hear it clearly. Immediately, the people of the Hundred Weapon Sect frowned! Winning without using a weapon? Who was he looking down on?
Dong Huashun did not finish his sentence. He continued, "If he uses a weapon, it is hard to say. The spear will take up at least one hand and half of the Chief's body. However, the chances are above 50%."
Wang Yangcheng took a deep breath. He turned to Du Ji and asked, "What do you think?"
Du Ji glanced at Wang Yangcheng and said, "Everything will be clear when the result is out. Why bother guessing?"
"..."
Wang Yangcheng rolled his eyes at Du Ji in front of everyone from the Hundred Weapon Sect. Then, he turned to watch the battle. He did not say what his prediction was. Instead, he focused on Lu An, who was on the left, and carefully observed his every move.
On the side, the core elder of the Hundred Weapon Sect saw that the time had come. He shouted, "Begin!"
Bang!
Before he finished speaking, the elder of the Hundred Weapon Sect launched an attack. He rushed toward Lu An with a spear in his hand!
The spear was extremely fast! Flames appeared on the ground where the elder was standing. This meant that the elder was using flames as an explosive force to increase his strength to the peak!
Not only was there fire on the ground, but the entire spear was also covered in strong flames as he rushed forward! Due to the speed and strength of the spear, the flames were suppressed to a horrifying extent. It would probably cause an explosion if touched!
Obviously, the elder wanted to win with the first move!
For a Level 8 Celestial Master, a distance of 300 meters could be covered in a flash. Although Lu An was only at the beginning of the middle stage of the Celestial Master Realm, due to the many Fate Wheels in his body and the Death Force, his strength was not inferior to the elder's. He could see the elder's movements clearly.
All along, Lu An had only used daggers to fight. He had never used other weapons to fight so seriously. However, at this moment, he did not feel unfamiliar with the spear in his hand.
Without dodging, Lu An's eyes were calm. He held the spear with both hands and swept it from left to right, directly toward the tip of the spear!
Boom!!!
The tip of the spear collided with each other. The flames on the tip of the spear immediately exploded. However, the spear still maintained a strong momentum and completely shrouded Lu An's body!
The elder's eyes lit up and he was overjoyed!
It was done!
