Volume 7: The Strongest Four Realms Chapter 85: Fifty-two consecutive victories
Lu Qingshan stood still, looking at the uneven hills in the distance.
There, there was a Dharma practitioner bathed in spiritual light, with dozens of magical instruments flashing around his body.
This practitioner of the Dharma is Yu Li, also known as "Duobao", who comes from Jialou in the Northern Territory.
There is a saying in the world of cultivation: "The east is fast, the west is hard, the south is arrogant, and the north is rich."
This sentence describes the characteristics of Taoist monks in various regions. Compared with the lightning-fast sword cultivators in the Eastern Region, the cultivators in the A Building in the Northern Region are extremely wealthy.
As the first person in the Nascent Soul Realm of Jialou, Yu Li, who was known as 'Duobao', showed everyone what 'wealth' and 'duobao' meant as soon as he appeared on the stage.
In just a few breaths, he summoned more than a dozen magical weapons of the highest quality, arming himself like a turtle shell.
That defense really looked like a shield within a shield and a skin within a shell, wrapping itself tightly. Not to mention the head, even the hair was equally well protected.
Although many cultivators in the world of cultivation believe that external objects such as magic weapons are just external objects after all, not one's own power, and are not reliable to use, so they focus on the cultivation of magic and the physical body.
But some advantages of magic tools can never be erased. For example, magic tools can cast many spells in one breath. Do you have a way to cast multiple spells in one breath?
For example, when a magical weapon is used, its power may be similar to that of a spell, but the mana consumed is much less.
Therefore, many monks went to the other extreme.
They are extremely fascinated by the convenience and power of magical instruments.
In Lu Qingshan's opinion, both of these ideas are unacceptable, and compromise is the right way.
After all, being able to use tools is an advantage of humans, so why should we throw it away?
But in a world where one person can possess great power, one's own strength is definitely the most basic and important one, and one must not ignore it.
Therefore, sword practitioners cultivate their own swordsmanship while also cultivating their own natal sword.
What a reasonable practice system!
Of course, this is just his own opinion and does not represent anything, because every cultivator with a firm heart of Taoism will believe that his own cultivation system and cultivation philosophy are the best, there is no doubt about this.
Lu Qingshan's heart moved and the flying sword came out.
Three sword lights flashed by, as fast as thunder, and slashed towards Yu Li.
Yu Li ignored Lu Qingshan's flying sword, his expression became serious, and he began to use his attacking magic weapons to fight back.
This is because his defense system has been built. He cannot say that it can withstand the attack of flying swords, but he is confident that it can hold out for a while.
He held up an ice bow in his hand and slightly pointed it towards Lu Qingshan.
There was actually a gathering of dark blue spiritual power on the bowstring, which formed a crystal clear ice arrow out of thin air and shot towards Lu Qingshan.
Yu Li's hands were very fast, and he kept pulling and closing the ice bow in his hand, and soon a small wave of continuous rain of arrows was formed.
At this time, Lu Qingshan's flying sword had already hit Yu Li's magic weapon at the speed of thunder.
Various magical instruments displayed their magical powers and strange phenomena occurred.
First, a tornado flag appeared, sending out a strong wind to block the flying sword's charge.
Afterwards, a blue glowing gem appeared, and flowing water fell down, covering Yu Li, using softness to overcome hardness, and greatly weakening the power of the flying sword.
And in the flowing water, countless vines grew out, like tentacles, entangled with Lu Qingshan's flying sword.
After wrapping around the flying sword, the vines suddenly burned, trying to dissipate the spiritual power on the flying sword. They immediately turned into ashes, and the ashes turned into soil, forming an earth shield...
This cycle repeats itself endlessly.
The three flying swords that broke through several layers of defense in succession finally ran out of energy and had to withdraw hastily.
Seeing this scene, Lu Qingshan was also quite moved.
This is the difference between professionals and amateurs.
Although both of them are using magical instruments, "Duobao" is very different from others. He does not simply stack up the number of magical instruments, but cleverly designs a series of systems through the principles of the Five Elements and Yin and Yang to bring out the greater effects of the magical instruments.
On this side, the rain of arrows was approaching.
Lu Qingshan's expression remained unchanged, and hundreds of sword energy threads as thin as hairs shot out from his body lightly, destroying them together with the fierce ice arrows.
"Come again." Lu Qingshan's heart moved.
Dragon Bird, Wangchuan, and Peach Blossom flew out again and transformed into three long rainbows, but unlike the previous formation with the two Taoist weapons, this time he slightly slowed down the speed of Dragon Bird and Wangchuan, and let Peach Blossom take the lead instead.
As for the purpose...
Yu Li still used the blue glowing gem as the base and mobilized the matching magical instruments, trying to engage Lu Qingshan's flying sword.
“Wither!”
When the peach blossoms touched the radiant pearl, an inexplicable feeling of withering arose.
The bright and shining gem lost all its spirituality in an instant under Taohua's sword.
The five elements are interlinked in a chain. If one of the links is missing, how can they be born? How can they continue to grow?
Yu Li's face changed, and he quickly took out a new water-attributed magic weapon to try to fill the gap.
How could "Duobao" not have any spare magical tools ?
But the problem is, Lu Qingshan did this intentionally, so how could he not consider the fact that Yu Li still had a spare magic weapon?
Longque and Wangchuan, who had landed behind , immediately jumped up, gathered together suddenly, and used all their strength to bombard an earth-attributed stone tower next to Yu Li.
Without the help of the power of mutual generation, the stone tower magic weapon was directly chopped to the ground, and its spiritual light dimmed.
At this time, Yu Li had just filled the gap in the water-attributed magic weapon.
Just like robbing Peter to repair Paul, Yu Li became a repairman, constantly patching the gaps, while Lu Qingshan was a demolition worker, constantly creating new gaps.
But how can construction be as easy as destruction?
Even though 'Duobao' really had a lot of treasures, after , he finally turned pale and could not continue.
It’s not that he doesn’t have enough treasures, it’s just that Lu Qingshan is too weird.
No matter how fast and powerful , or how thoughtful, quick his reaction was, or how many methods he used, he had no chance to fight back.
You have to know that he and Lu Qingshan had just had a confrontation, and Lu Qingshan actually found the most labor-saving way to break the deadlock in such a short time?
This kind of keen insight into battle is absolutely rare even among the group of sword practitioners who are most proficient in fighting. This made Yu Li more and more heartbroken the more he thought about it.
Lu Qingshan didn't care about Yu Li's fear of him. His men worked hard and launched a fierce and indiscriminate bombing.
Yu Li was forced into a panic and finally made a mistake, was unable to cope with the situation and was defeated.
…
"The sixty-eighth fight, Lu Qingshan wins!"
Amidst a crowd of complicated gazes, the two figures appeared side by side in front of the Mountain and Sea Pillar.
The battle between Lu Qingshan and Yu Li was the 68th battle of the Dojo Competition.
In other words, Lu Qingshan’s current record is...
Fifty-two consecutive wins!
However, faced with such a magnificent performance, most of the monks watching the battle were somewhat numb.
Ever since the battle between Yan Fei and Lu Qingshan, the intensity of the Dojo competition has plummeted, with most of the matches becoming one-sided crushing wins by Lu Qingshan, which is seriously lacking in entertainment value.
Because with the blessing of the true meaning of annihilation and the sword intent of killing, except for individual cultivators or special terrains, Lu Qingshan only needs to summon the flying sword to bombard it wildly to determine the winner.
In this situation, Lu Qingshan would only need to rest once every ten or so fights to recover.
This also led to a very strange thing. Before Lu Qingshan came, the sixteen battles took nearly two days.
After Lu Qingshan came on stage, the fifty-two battles were completed in just half a day...
At the beginning, the monks from various domains could still say that they wanted to leave a snail temple for their own domain.
Later, the situation took a big turn.
Because when the fight reached the 30th round, everyone had already seen clearly that if it continued like this, Lu Qingshan might even be able to accomplish the feat of overthrowing the six regions alone?
Before this, if someone had told them that such a thing would happen in a dojo competition where so many heroes gathered, they would never have believed it.
——We are all Yellow List monks. Even if you are stronger than me, it will consume a lot of energy if you want to defeat me. It is already extremely rare to win five games in a row. Winning ten games in a row is unthinkable. How can you win forty or fifty games in a row?
Are you kidding?
But the fact is that this kind of joke is happening in full view of the public.
The reason why this situation has come about is very simple...
The power of Lu Qingshan's flying sword is too strong.
The flying sword is just one of the most common means of sword cultivation, a bit similar to the archer's arrows. Although the consumption cannot be said to be small, it is definitely not large.
However, even with such conventional means, most of the monks present were unable to withstand and were defeated one after another.
In addition, there is an optional two-hour rest period between every two fights. Under this restriction, the round-robin battle loses its meaning.
To put it in a figurative way, it's like facing a superb shooter. If you rush forward together, you can still find a way to defeat him by focusing your fire.
But if only one person can go up, let alone five, even if there are fifty people, what is the point, other than it being like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather?
Of course, Lu Qingshan's performance is difficult to replicate.
The reason why his flying sword is so ferocious is the chemical reaction produced by the combination of many factors: it surpasses the soul realm of most void-refining cultivators, crushes the powerful spiritual power of Yuanying cultivators, and is blessed by the true meaning of annihilation and the true meaning of killing in the perfect realm. His natal sword is of the quality of Dragon Bird, Wangchuan, and Peach Blossom, which are of the Taoist quality.
The existence of any of the above points is enough to make the flying sword of a Nascent Soul sword cultivator much more powerful than that of a sword cultivator of the same level.
But Lu Qingshan has it all.
How can it not be powerful?
…
…
Among the cultivators below, there was a large group of people, all of them were sword cultivators, who kept sighing and groaning, "We both have flying swords, but why do I feel that mine is just a sewing needle, weak and powerless, while his flying sword is a great sword? Why is the difference so big? This doesn't make sense!"
"I'm a swordsman from the Sword Sect, who the hell are you?" the other person said bluntly.
"How can you say that? Could this be the Sword Sect's fault? Isn't Shuang Jian also a sword cultivator from the Sword Sect, and a specialist in inner swordsmanship? Do you think his flying sword can compare to Jian Jue's?"
"That's true..."
"..." Xue Hanfeng, who had just revealed an unconscious joy on his face because of Lu Qingshan's performance, moved his ears and heard the conversation clearly.
The next moment, his whole body trembled, and all the joy on his face disappeared, returning to the frosty face that "Frost Sword" should have.
The minor monks have their own perspective, and the major monks have a different perspective on things.
They pay more attention to the competition at the sect level rather than the gains and losses of one individual.
Xi Xiang was overjoyed, smiling like a chrysanthemum blooming in autumn, "Our Sword Sect is really full of talented people, we should be happy!"
