Chapter 48: Qi Training Competition (Part 3)

The first match was between a handsome man and a righteous man, and Yun Shang watched from the side.

Gu Luoxiao stood beside Yun Shang, "Who uncle master think will win, Tang Yan or Jian Yi?"

"You're asking me?" Yun Shang was surprised. Did she know him? How could he was asking her.

Mo Xuan on the other side couldn't help but let out a chuckle. Gu Luoxiao also had his day of being humiliated, but when he met his dissatisfied gaze, Mo Xuan quickly raised his hand to signal himself to shut up.

"Uh! Who are Tang Yan and Jian Yi?" Yun Shang asked when she saw that his face was getting worse.

"The handsome one is Tang Yan, and the other one is Jian Yi," Mo Xuan answered.

"Hey! Who told you to interrupt me?" Gu Luoxiao was very dissatisfied.

"It doesn't matter who says it." Mo Xuan waved his hand indifferently. He has known Gu Luoxiao, Tang Yan and Jian Yi for many years and they have a good relationship.

Yun Shang was a little speechless when she heard the two bickering. Was she familiar with them? Especially Mo Xuan, they had a feud. What was going on with you guys now?

"The two of them are at the same level, so it's hard to tell who is better at the moment," Yun Shang said after thinking for a while.

After hearing her say this, Mo Xuan and the other person looked at each other without saying anything, and all three of them looked towards the arena.

On the stage, Jian Yi took out the magic sword and launched a "Three Thousand Fireworks" with great attack power.

Tang Yan quickly made a hand gesture, "Water Control Technique", and the red sword light and the blue magic met in the middle.

Huh? The blue spiritual power was actually swallowed up. Yun Shang was very surprised.

Generally speaking, water overcomes fire. Although Jian Yi is a sword cultivator, Tang Yan's magic is also very strong. How could it be swallowed up?

Tang Yan on the stage seemed to have anticipated the result. He quickly formed a spell seal again and used light steps to dodge the whistling sword light.

"Jian Yi's sword technique is very special. During the battle, he can absorb spiritual energy to strengthen himself. So you can see that the sword energy he emits will become stronger and stronger." At this moment, Gu Luoxiao's eyes were full of seriousness. It can be seen that Jian Yi is a tough opponent in his heart.

Hearing this, Yun Shang's heart sank. It was indeed not simple, but she was a little confused. Why did Gu Luoxiao tell him?

As if he knew what Yun Shang was thinking, Gu Luoxiao glanced at her and said, "As long as you fight him, you will find out..."

In fact, he didn't know why he had to tell Yun Shang first. It seemed that ever since he saw her already comprehend the sword intent, his eyes would always be on her.

Yun Shang didn't investigate further. Since she had discovered it, she must take precautions early.

Then, she watched the fight on the ring more carefully. After the two exchanged dozens of moves, Jian Yi was indeed better and won the game.

"Jian Yi wins, next game, Gu Luoxiao vs. Mo Xuan," the referee announced immediately.

Gu Luoxiao and Mo Xuan looked at each other and jumped onto the stage together.

"Be careful, I won't hold back," Gu Luoxiao said, blinking his peach blossom eyes.

"I don't know either," Mo Xuan bowed to Gu Luoxiao.

Then, the two of them attacked at the same time. Mo Xuan's body was covered with brown spiritual power. He raised his right hand and punched Gu Luoxiao in the face.

Mo Xuan's speed was more than twice as fast as before, Yun Shang was weighing it in her heart.

Gu Luoxiao also reacted quickly. He immediately dodged to the side and moved away from Mo Xuan with light steps. Mo Xuan was a physical cultivator and was good at close combat.

However, how could Mo Xuan give him a chance? He quickly stepped forward to block his retreat and punched him in the chest.

Gu Luoxiao's eyes sharpened. Oh no, it was too late to dodge. He could only minimize the damage and then avoided the chest and landed his fist on the shoulder.

With a loud bang, Gu Luoxiao fell to the edge of the ring.

He didn't dare to delay, and immediately climbed up despite the pain, using his spiritual power to send out more than a dozen ice blades, forcing Mo Xuan to retreat and avoid them.

As expected, he was difficult to deal with. Mo Xuan originally wanted to take this opportunity to sweep Gu Luoxiao off the stage, but he didn't expect that he would react so quickly.

The two people on the stage were eyeing each other fiercely, fighting back and forth without giving in.

Yun Shang was watching with great interest in the audience. Mo Xuan had made great progress, and this Gu Luoxiao was also extremely difficult to deal with.

However, Gu Luoxiao should be better, Mo Xuan's speed and reaction are still a little bit lacking.

Just as Yun Shang was thinking this, the two decided the winner and Mo Xuan was forced off the stage by the ice sword.

"Gu Luoxiao win, now we are going to the last round, the ring defense competition. One person defends the ring, and two people attack. The one who successfully defends the ring will become the first place of this competition, and the remaining two people will decide the second and third place. The one who fails to defend the ring will directly become the third place."

There are pros and cons to defending the title, but the top ten can enter the Comprehension Tower. Yun Shang thought that she was already qualified, so even if she lost, there was nothing wrong with getting third place. She wanted to challenge Jian Yi and Gu Luoxiao.

Immediately, Yun Shang jumped onto the stage and said, "I will defend the ring."

Seeing this, the audience cheered, "Good job, beautiful girl!"

"Come on, pretty girl"

"I'm optimistic about you, pretty girl."

Yun Shang: "…" What the hell is this beautiful girl?

Jian Yi jumped onto the stage amid the cheers, "I'll go first." Gu Luoxiao had just experienced a battle, so it would be more appropriate for him to go.

"Yun Shang, please"

"Jian Yi, please"

Neither side was talkative, and they started fighting right after the greeting.

Yun Shang used all her sword energy right from the start. The sword energy with fire spiritual power was extremely domineering.

Jian Yi did not dare to be careless with "Three Thousand Flames", as the attack power of the fire-attributed sword technique should not be underestimated.

Sure enough, Yun Shang's spiritual power was almost completely devoured.

This sword technique is so strange! Yun Shang was very alert and attacked again. She wanted to see if she could find a way to break it.

The two exchanged more than ten moves.

On the stage, Yun Shang slashed out with the Hanyue Sword again, and suddenly her eyes lit up. Her spiritual power was still devoured just now, but what if there were multiple sword energies?

She could try to split the sword energy into two, or more. Even if the opponent swallowed one strand, he would not have time to swallow the others.

Fortunately she was practicing Five Line Art before and found that separation of spiritual energy cannot be used only on formation, but on alchemy even combat. Now she was already proficient to separate her spiritual energy.

Next, Yun Shang used Five Line Art to control the separation of the sword energy while fighting, and continued to experiment. Anyway, she had abundant spiritual power. 

This time she successfully split the sword energy into two. As expected, Jian Yi's spiritual power did not have enough time to absorb the other sword energy.

Jian Yi did not expect this result. The sharp sword energy cut a bloody wound on his chest.

"It really works." Yun Shang curled the corners of her mouth.

The seniors on the platform were somewhat surprised. Isn't splitting sword energy a skill that only Jindan cultivators can master? How come a little girl who has reached the great perfection of Qi training can do it?

Yun Shang was excitedly practicing splitting the sword energy on the ring at this moment. After more than ten moves, she was able to split the sword energy into three parts.

Jian Yi also failed and fell off the stage.

"Yun Shang successfully defended the title. The next challenger is Gu Luoxiao." The referee looked at Yun Shang with satisfaction. What a great achievement!

"Wow! Yun Shang! Yun Shang!"

"Beautiful girl! Beautiful girl!"

The audience burst into cheers. It was so exciting. Are all the female cultivators so strong nowadays? As expected of Qingmu Daojun's only disciple!

A moment later, Gu Luoxiao came on stage. He looked at the girl in front of him. Every time he thought he did not underestimate her, she would let him know that he still underestimated her.

"Gu Luoxiao" He stepped forward and greeted seriously.

"Yun Shang" Yun Shang also returned the gift solemnly.

Yun Shang took a deep breath and directly injected spiritual energy and divided it into three sword energies, two of which slashed towards Gu Luoxiao, and one blocked his retreat.

"Boom" there was an explosion on the ring, and the ice sword released by Gu Luoxiao collided with Yun Shang's sword energy.

Moreover, Gu Luoxiao moved his body and almost disappeared, avoiding the last sword energy.

What a strange movement! Yun Shang became extremely alert.

Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking air behind her. Yun Shang raised the Hanyue Sword and turned around to block it. Her body was tilted to the side, and

a bloody mark appeared on her cheek. It was so fast.

Yun Shang used the Traceless Steps to leave the spot immediately, and slashed three sharp sword energies at the place where the spiritual energy fluctuated.

Gu Luoxiao looked at the whistling sword energy. There was really no way to avoid it. All the retreat routes were blocked. Since he couldn't retreat, he would just go in! His face turned cold, and he faced the sword energy in the middle and jumped towards Yun Shang.

Yun Shang looked at Gu Luoxiao's desperate behavior and felt a chill in her heart. Her eyes became serious. He was indeed a ruthless character.

Yun Shang instantly cast "Fire Wheel Ring" for defense then she raised the Hanyue Sword to counterattack his attack.

Gu Luoxiao's chest was cut by the sword energy, but he attacked to the extreme as if nothing had happened.

"Bang!"

After the two sides collided, Gu Luoxiao flew backwards and the ring hard, as for Yun Shang succeed in her defense.

Yun Shang immediately stared at Gu Luoxiao with a fierce look.

Gu Luoxiao didn't get up. He spat out a mouthful of blood and then fainted.

Yun Shang's sword energy was not to be underestimated. He was deeply hurt and now has serious internal injuries..

Seeing that he was unconscious, the referee asked two disciples to carry Gu Luoxiao away, then stepped forward and announced, "Yun Shang successfully defended the ring. The first place in this competition is: Yun Shang."

"Wow", "Awesome", "That's awesome", "It's been many years since a female cultivator took first place in the competition" the audience burst into cheers and discussions.

As Gu Luoxiao was unconscious, Jian Yi's competition with him for the second and third place was scheduled for the next day.

When the cheers had almost died down, the referee raised his hand and said, "The top 10 will have the chance to enter the enlightenment tower."

"Of course, in addition to this, the top ten will each receive a foundation-building pill, the top three will each receive a low-grade Xuan-level magic weapon, and the first place will receive an additional reward of a spiritual weapon for defense."

"The sect is really generous this time. They even gave a spiritual weapon?"

"That's right, that's right. If I had known I would have tried my best."

"Don't brag. Can you get first place if you try your best?"

"Hey! I just said that."

Not to mention other people, Yun Shang herself was also very happy. Although she have no problem buying it herself, no one will refuse free things come to your door.
