The next day, the second round of the competition officially began. Luo Shiyi announced in front of the new disciples,""Today's top four contestants are Hua Qiangu, North Wind, Ni Mantian and Yin Shangpiao. The first team would be facing off against North Wind against Ni Mantian.”
Ni Mantian and Shuofeng walked to the front of the Seven Stars Array. Ni Mantian asked for the last time,"Shuofeng, what are you…"
Before he could finish his sentence, Shuo Feng flew onto the Seven Stars Formation. Ni Mantian looked at him and flew over as well. She stood opposite of Shuo Feng and raised her sword." I must win today no matter what."”Then, she attacked him with her sword.
The fight between Shuofeng and Ni Mantian was evenly matched. Ni Qianzhang, who was watching from the stands, looked nervous. It seemed that he had to give Tian 'er a foolproof way to win the first place.
No matter how hard Ni Mantian tried, she could not win against Shuo Feng. She clenched the silver needles hidden in her sleeves and decided to take a gamble. As the two swords clashed with each other, Ni Mantian took the opportunity to shoot out the silver needles in her hand. Shuofeng looked at her in disbelief and pushed hard, pulling away from Ni Mantian and landing on the Seven Stars Chessboard.
Shuo Feng looked at Ni Mantian. He did not expect her to use such a despicable method. He was a little angry. Ni Mantian also felt a little guilty under his gaze. She wondered if the silver needles were effective.
Just as he was about to step forward, he suddenly realized that he could not use his internal energy. Only then did he realize the purpose of Ni Mantian's hidden weapon. Ni Mantian saw that Shuo Feng did not take the initiative to attack. She guessed that the silver needles had taken effect. She was delighted and attacked when Shuo Feng tried to use his internal energy. When Shuo Feng saw this, he hurriedly raised his sword to block, but he had no internal energy. He could only block a few moves with Ni Mantian before he was defeated.
Luo Shiyi struck the cauldron bell," Ni Mantian wins this round!”
The first thought that came to the disciples 'minds when they saw the North Wind lose was that even the Three Supremes were surprised. Ni Qianzhang laughed out loud and said complacently,"This is my daughter, Ni Qianzhang. This is Penglai's ability, hahaha…"
Shuofeng tilted his head and looked at Ni Mantian," Is this really that important to you?”
Ni Mantian was speechless. Shuofeng turned around and left. Moyan also looked at Ni Mantian with admiration. He turned to Bai Zihua and said,"Good! He pointed at Ni Mantian and said,"Zihua, you're pretty good."”She wanted him to consider who to take in as a disciple, but Bai Zihua frowned slightly.
Next was Hua Qiangu against Yin Shangpiao. Yin Shangpiao's every move was sinister and vicious. Hua Qiangu was struggling, but she had to hold on. She had to go to the Heartless Palace! Hua Qiangu used all of her sword techniques, including the Shu Mountain Sword Technique. However, Yin Shangpiao was very experienced and could resolve all of them.
Moyan watched as he praised," Good. He countered every move he made. He was flustered but not flustered. Zihua, Yin Shangpiao will definitely win this battle."”Bai Zihua did not say anything. He just watched the two people fighting.
After a while, Hua Qiangu was finally sent flying by Yin Shangpiao's sword. However, she quickly used her mana to stabilize her body and landed on the edge of the Seven Stars Formation. She patted her chest. It was so close. She was almost eliminated. Since he couldn't win against him with his full strength, he could only take him by surprise and make a risky move.
Therefore, Hua Qiangu flew over and attacked. Yin Shangpiao laughed disdainfully. He had overestimated himself. Then, he thrust his sword at Hua Qiangu. Hua Qiangu did not dodge and took the hit. Yin Shangpiao was shocked. He thought that Hua Qiangu would dodge and was about to defeat her with his next move. He did not expect that Hua Qiangu would take advantage of his shock and swing his sword at him. Yin Shangpiao was knocked to the ground.
Hua Qiangu held his shoulder and knelt on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Dongfang Yuqing hurried forward," Bonehead, are you okay?"”WWw.5Wx.ORG
Hua Qiangu shook his head." I'm fine."”
"How can it be okay? Bonehead, I'm worried about your match tomorrow.”Dongfang Yuqing said worriedly.
"It's okay. I know my own body.”
Qing Shui ran over." Qian Gu, what's wrong?”
"The bones have suffered serious internal injuries.”Dongfang Yuqing said.
"What? "What should we do? The finals are tomorrow," Qing Shui said anxiously."No, I have to talk to His Majesty."”
Hua Qiangu wanted to stop Qing Shui, but Dongfang Yuqing stopped him,""Bonehead, forget it."
"Yes, mother, you're injured.”Candy Baby jumped over and said worriedly.
Yun Yin also rushed over and hurriedly said,"Sect Master, quickly, quickly take the Soul Returning Pill I gave you."”
Bai Zihua did not expect Hua Qiangu to win in such a manner. Did she really want to be his disciple that badly? Or…
Qing Shui ran to the front of the Three Supremes," Your Honor, Qian Gu is injured. Can you let her fight Ni Mantian in the finals after she has recovered?"”
Bai Zihua tilted his head and looked at Hua Qiangu before saying seriously,""The Immortal Sword Competition has its rules. The competition will be held tomorrow as usual.”With that, he left the venue.
Ni Mantian looked at Hua Qiangu and smiled. The second day of the competition was over. Tomorrow would be the final match to determine the winner. Hua Qiangu was lying weakly on the bed in the dormitory. Qing Shui and Tang Bao were taking care of her while Dongfang Yuqing was by her side.
" Qian Gu," Qing Shui advised," His Holiness said that tomorrow's competition should be carried out as usual. Why don't you give up? Even if you give up, you can still get second place. That's good enough."”
"I won't give up. I don't care if I win tomorrow or not, but at least I have to try.”
"But, you will lose your life like this.”Qing Shui was confused.
"I know you guys are worried about me, but I have a lot of misunderstandings with Mantian. I'm afraid we'll be strangers for tomorrow's battle.”Hua Qiangu said dejectedly.
"Bonehead, don't think about anything now. Just do your best. There's nothing more important than your health.”Dongfang Yuqing advised.
" Yes, Mother Bones, give up. Don't compete anymore." Baby Candy crawled to Hua Qiangu's bedside." Ni Mantian, that fierce girl will definitely make things difficult for you."”
"I know that you are worried about me, but this competition is really important to me. I promise you that I will take good care of myself, but I must participate in tomorrow's competition.”Hua Qiangu insisted.
At this moment, Bai Zihua walked in. Candy Baby was the first to see him and said in surprise,""Ah, Supreme One!"
Qing Shui quickly bowed.”Dongfang Yuqing also stood up.
Hua Qiangu wanted to stand up and bow as well, but Bai Zihua gestured for her to do so." There's no need to get up. If you weren't injured, you could have fought Ni Mantian to a draw. Now that you're injured, you'll definitely lose tomorrow."”
Qing Shui helped Hua Qiangu sit on the bed. Hua Qiangu said firmly,""No matter what, I will persist until the end.”Dongfang Yuqing sighed helplessly.
Bai Zihua stepped forward." You fought too hard just now. Why did you insist on doing this?"”
"I want to rely on my own strength to win until the end and then become your disciple.”Hua Qiangu said sincerely, even though she had her own selfish motives.
Qing Shui kneeled in front of Bai Zihua and begged,"Supreme One, please help Qian Gu. Only then can she have a fair competition with Ni Mantian.”
" No need, no need." Hua Qiangu quickly stood up." It would be really unfair if the Supreme One were to heal me."”Qing Shui and Dongfang Yuqing didn't know what to say. Hua Qiangu was such a person.
"Why do you insist on being my disciple?”Bai Zihua suddenly asked.
" I…" Hua Qiangu raised his head. How should she tell the Supreme One that she wanted to be the Supreme One's disciple for the sake of the Sword Supreme? Hua Qiangu stuttered, unable to say anything.
Bai Zihua thought for a moment and understood." It's for Xiaoyue?”
" Supreme One, I…" Seeing that Bai Zihua had already guessed it, Hua Qiangu could only nod and admit it.
"Since that's the case, there's no need for you to be my disciple.”After Bai Zihua finished speaking, he turned around and left.
The three of them looked at each other. Hua Qiangu had no choice but to lie down." I'm going to rest. You can all leave."”
"Bones!"
"Thousand Bones!"
Dongfang Yuqing and Qing Shui had no choice but to leave.
Ni Mantian went to Shuofeng's room. Shuofeng opened the door and saw her." Didn't I lose to you? Why are you still looking for me?"
" I…" Ni Mantian said apologetically," Actually, I have my own difficulties. My father is the Penglai Sect Master, but I am his daughter. My father cares about his reputation. So, so I must win the Immortal Sword Competition. Otherwise, my father's reputation will be ruined in front of all the sects.”
"So, you're using poison needles to deal with me?”Shuofeng turned around, unwilling to look at her.
"I'm sorry, I really have no other choice. I have to win this time. I hope you can forgive me.”Ni Mantian said. Seeing that Shuo Feng was still ignoring her, she said," Why don't you stab me again after the competition tomorrow? Just take it as revenge."”
"Do you think everyone is like you?”" Don't do this again tomorrow. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that I won't tell anyone about you."”
Ni Mantian looked at Shuo Feng," Another person protecting Hua Qiangu. Don't worry, I won't use this trick again because I don't need her!"”With that, she left angrily.
Ni Mantian returned to the dormitory and saw Ni Qianzhang sitting inside." Father…"
"Tian 'er, you must win the competition tomorrow," Ni Qianzhang said solemnly.”
"Don't worry, Father. Hua Qiangu is no match for me, not to mention that she was injured today.”Ni Mantian said confidently.
Ni Qianzhang took out a sword and handed it to her." Tian 'er, to make sure everything goes well, you will use this sword to fight tomorrow."”
" Father, this sword is…" Ni Mantian was puzzled.
"You don't need to ask. This sword is full of mysteries. If you use it against Hua Qiangu, you will definitely have a chance of winning.”Ni Qianzhang said with certainty.
"Father, Hua Qiangu isn't a threat at all. Why do you still want to use this sword?”
"Tian 'er, I believe you, but did you see Hua Qiangu's match today? That kind of reckless fighting style will catch you off guard. As long as you use this sword, Tian 'er, you will be the champion.”
Ni Mantian finally nodded after Ni Qianzhang's persuasion." Yes, Father. Don't worry. I will definitely defeat her."”She gripped her sword tightly, confident.
Ni Qianzhang patted her shoulder." If you win and become Bai Zihua's disciple, Penglai's position in the various sects will naturally rise. The relationship between Penglai and Changliu will naturally be unbreakable."”
"Your daughter understands. Your daughter will definitely become the champion of the Grand Meeting and become the Supreme One's disciple.”
"Mm, alright!" Ni Qianzhang said gratefully.
At night, when Shaoyue was meditating, cold sweat kept appearing on her forehead. She felt that she was about to break through, but she was stuck at a barrier. No matter how hard she tried, she could not break through this barrier. Thus, she calmed her heart and silently recited the Clear Heart Formula to calm herself down first. She was not in a hurry to break through.
The last battle of the Sword and Fairy Meet had begun. Today was the third day, the day where the champion would be decided. Hua Qiangu was still injured. Qing Shui said worriedly,"Qian Gu, your injuries haven't healed yet, and you've secretly gone out to practice your swordsmanship at night. Can your body handle it?”
Just as Hua Qiangu was about to say something, Candy Baby jumped over and shouted,""Mother, mother, do you still remember our original intention? Don't force yourself too much."
Hua Qiangu squatted down and looked at Baby Candy." Baby Candy, I haven't forgotten my original intention. That's why I'm working so hard. I'm here for her sake."”
"Qian Gu, promise me that you will do your best in today's competition.”Qing Shui extended his pinky finger, and Hua Qiangu smiled as he made a pinky promise.
" You should just give up. That way, you can save some face," said Shuo Feng as he walked over. Qing Shui stood up angrily and was about to retort, but Shuo Feng continued," Ni Mantian, although her swordsmanship is sharp, she is not skilled enough. Although her internal energy is strong, her movements are not coherent. It is not entirely impossible for you to defeat her."”With that, he turned around and left.
"Eh?" Qing Shui pointed at him and asked curiously," Is he encouraging you, or is he trying to discourage you?”
" It's alright," Hua Qiangu smiled." He's just like that."”
Ni Qianzhang worriedly gave Ni Mantian a few more instructions before returning to the spectator stand. When Hua Qiangu saw her, he walked over and said,"Mantian, can we still be friends after this battle?”
"Hmph, Hua Qiangu, stop dreaming. You and I are no longer friends.”Ni Mantian flew into the Seven Stars Array after she finished speaking.
Hua Qiangu knew that this would be the result. She shook her head helplessly. She had to focus on the competition now. She flew up and fought Ni Mantian. The two sides could not determine the winner. Baby Candy stood beside Luo Shiyi and shouted,"Good luck, mother, good luck!"
In the end, the two of them clashed with their swords. Both of them used their internal strength to compete, but gradually, blood flowed from the corner of Hua Qiangu's mouth. However, she did not give up and used all her strength to compete. Later, the two of them fell into the sea outside the Seven Stars Formation.
As soon as Hua Qiangu woke up, Baby Candy cried,""Mother, you're finally awake. You've been unconscious for several hours.”
"Who…who won?" asked Hua Qiangu.”
Dongfang Yuqing and Qing Shui looked at each other, not knowing what to say. Hua Qiangu understood immediately," So I touched the sea first. It's fate."”It seemed like she couldn't go to the Heartless Palace.
At the ceremony, all the disciples were standing in the hall. Old Man Tao shouted,"Respectfully invite the three of you to ascend!"
The three of them walked up and sat down. Hua Qiangu clutched his chest and panted. Tao Weng continued,""The top three of this Immortal Sword Convention are Shuofeng, Hua Qiangu, and Ni Mantian.”
The other sect leaders congratulated Ni Qianzhang one after another.”
Ni Qianzhang was all smiles." Thank you, thank you, thank you."”
" The apprenticeship ceremony begins now." Tao Weng turned around and said to the higher-ups," Sect Master, please teach your disciple first and teach the herb first."”
Bai Zihua did not get up for a long time. Moyan said in a low voice,""Zihua, please invite Ni Mantian to come forward. Everyone here knows that the champion of the Sword Immortal Convention will be the first disciple of the Chang Liu Clan.”
Bai Zihua stood up and stepped forward. He looked at Ni Mantian and Hua Qiangu and suddenly announced,"I, Bai Zihua, will never accept a disciple in this life.”
"What?" Ni Qianzhang was so shocked that he stood up. The others were even more shocked. Ni Qianzhang wanted to step forward and argue, but the sky was suddenly filled with thunder and dark clouds. The corner of Bai Zihua's mouth lifted slightly. It seemed that Little Yue had made a breakthrough.
The others in the hall looked at the mutation strangely, not understanding what had happened. Mo Yan and Sheng Xiaomo came to Bai Zihua's side. Looking at the strange phenomenon in the sky outside the hall, Sheng Xiaomo asked,"" Sect Leader Senior Brother, could it be Little Junior Sister…"
Bai Zihua nodded. Moyan said happily,""That's great!" He had forgotten to ask Bai Zihua about not accepting a disciple.
Sure enough, not long after, the sky returned to its original state. A silver light flashed across the sky and Shaoyue suddenly appeared in the main hall. Her white robes fluttered like an immortal, causing everyone in the main hall to momentarily forget to speak.
