"Hehe, General Luo is being a little too serious!”Hearing the black-armored man's words, Yan Ju smiled and said,""Young people are hot-blooded. It is normal for them to challenge the difficulty to prove themselves. Moreover, I don't think this kid is the kind of arrogant person. Since he dared to choose the fifth challenge ring, he must have his own plans.”
"I don't agree with Commander Yan's words.”General Luo's expression turned stiff as he retorted,""If this kid had challenged the next few ring masters, it would have been fine, but he chose the fifth ring, which is ranked at the top. This ring master's cultivation has already reached Houtian Realm Level Five. Do you think that a mere tempering realm martial artist like him can defeat him? As a general, the most important thing was to have self-knowledge. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. Being too ambitious and greedy for merit was a taboo in the army. Just based on this point, this child was not enough to take on a great responsibility.”
"General Luo…"
"Alright!"
At this moment, the Heavenly Martial Marquis waved his hand to interrupt their argument. He looked at the arena below with interest and said,"You two don't need to argue. You'll know the truth after watching.”
"Yes, Lord Wu Hou!"
……
"Yan City, Chu Ming!"
On the fifth ring, Chu Ming held his sword with one hand and looked at the ring master opposite him indifferently. He had chosen to challenge the fifth challenge ring after careful consideration. The lowest cultivation of the previous ring masters was at Houtian Realm Level Six. With his current strength, even if he could win, he would probably have to go through a tough battle. Considering that the championship match would be held immediately after the challenge match, he did not want to waste too much energy before that. Moreover, the ring masters ranked at the bottom were too weak for him. He did not like a battle without any challenge. Therefore, after compromising, he chose the fifth challenge ring.
"Hehe, interesting. I didn't expect a mere tempering realm martial artist to dare challenge me? I really don't know where you got your guts from.”Ring Lord No. 5 was a well-dressed young master. He held a golden sword in his hand and wore a purple gold hairband. His entire body exuded a rich aura. One could tell at a glance that his family background was extraordinary.
"Cut the crap, let's fight!" Chu Ming said coldly.
"Tsk, you have quite a temper." Ring Master No. 5 sneered and looked at Chu Ming mockingly.""I've seen a lot of people like you. You just want to show off in front of everyone. Fine, this Young Master will let you show off today.”After saying that, he waved his right hand and the sword in his hand danced. The sword that was shining with golden light was like a golden dragon that suddenly came out of its hole. The sharp tip of the sword instantly turned into several sword shadows that covered Chu Mingdi's head.
Fast and ruthless!
However, Chu Ming shook his head. This sword seemed swift and fierce, but it did not have the slightest killing aura. Moreover, in order to pursue magnificence, the attack point was not concentrated. It was obvious that the person who attacked had a lack of combat experience. This kind of attack might be effective against a normal Pre-Sky Realm warrior, but it was far from enough to deal with Chu Ming.
The next moment, Chu Ming's sword shook.
Whoosh!
The fine iron sword shot out like a sharp arrow. The moment it touched the opponent's golden sword, the long sword was like a snake, unexpectedly borrowing the force to slightly turn, easily pushing the opponent's attack to the side.
"Peng!"
Immediately after, the fine iron longsword suddenly shook, and the blade hit the waist of Ring Lord No. 5.
"Ah!"
With a single greeting, Ring Lord No. 5 was sent flying like a worn-out sandbag. He flew a full seven to eight feet before crashing heavily onto the ground below the ring.
"Too weak!" Chu Ming shook his head in disappointment. Originally, he had chosen Ring Master No. 5 because he wanted to have a slightly challenging battle. Who would have thought that Ring Master No. 5 was completely an embroidered pillow? He looked good but was useless. He was only at Houtian Realm Level Five and had such little ability. If he had known this earlier, he would have chosen Sun Hui from Ring No. 7. At least, it would not be so boring.
On one side, Chu Ming was feeling bored, but on the other side, the audience and all the participating martial artists were shocked. Their eyes were wide open as if they had seen a ghost.
He defeated a Houtian Realm Level Five martial artist with one move. Moreover, the person who defeated this Houtian Realm Level Five martial artist was a low-level martial artist in the tempering realm.
What kind of concept was this?
Everyone could hardly believe the reality in front of them. Since the start of the martial arts examination, there had never been a precedent of a contestant defeating the ring master in the preliminary round, let alone using only one move. Without a doubt, Chu Ming's actions had created a new history for the Martial Arts Examination.
A commotion!
The entire martial arts practice field was instantly in an uproar!
"Hahaha, General Luo, how is it? Now, you can't possibly think that this kid doesn't know his limits, right?”On the high platform, Yan Ju laughed with a happy expression. At the same time, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Although Yan Ju had been putting in good words for Chu Ming, he had never thought that Chu Ming had a chance of winning. He only hoped that Chu Ming could last two more moves and not embarrass him too much in front of Marquis Tianwu. He didn't expect Chu Ming to be so powerful. Not only did he finish off his opponent with a clean move, but he also made history in the Martial Examination. This was a pleasant surprise. Of course, more importantly, Chu Ming's action had undoubtedly made him proud in front of Lord Tianwu.
"Ahem…"
Upon hearing Yan Ju's words, a trace of embarrassment flashed across General Luo's face, but he quickly recovered. He coughed lightly and said,"Alright, I admit that I was wrong this time. This kid is indeed a talent. However, speaking of which, looking at his attack just now, it is obvious that he has reached the level of a Pre-Sky Realm martial artist.”
"Uh, I don't know about that. I guess there must be some hidden reason. Moreover, the convention only stipulated that Pre-Sky Realm martial artists don't need to participate in the preliminary competition. It didn't clearly state that they were not allowed to participate in the preliminary competition.”As he spoke, Yan Ju turned his head and said to Marquis Tianwu, who had not spoken for a long time,"Lord Wu Hou, what do you think of this kid?”
"Not bad!" Marquis Tianwu nodded with admiration."This young man named Chu Ming surprised me. Putting aside his strength, his temperament is also very well trained. Look at him, there is no sadness or joy in the arena. From the moment he entered the arena to defeating his opponent, tens of thousands of people were amazed, but this little guy's mood didn't change at all. It is rare for him to have such determination at this age. He has the potential to be a general.”
"Hehe, to be able to receive such praise from Lord Wu Hou, it can be considered as this kid's fortune!”Yan Ju laughed. Although he had nothing to do with Chu Ming, he was still recommended by the latter. He was proud to have received the favor of the Marquis of Tianwu.
……
"Damn it, you despicable fellow, you actually hid your cultivation!”While everyone was discussing, Ring Lord Number Five, who had been knocked off the ring by Chu Ming, suddenly got up from the ground. He gritted his teeth and looked at Chu Ming, his eyes almost spitting fire.
He was a genius at Houtian Realm Level Five, but he was thrown off the stage like a dead dog. He had been spoiled since he was young, and he had never suffered such humiliation before. Feeling all kinds of strange gazes from all directions, he really wanted to find a hole to hide in. And the culprit of all this was that damned fellow standing on the stage. If it wasn't for this despicable fellow deliberately hiding his cultivation, how could he be so weak? He swore that no matter what, he would get back at this humiliation.
"Idiot!"
Chu Ming didn't even bother to look at Ring Lord Number Five's murderous gaze. This guy was obviously the kind of noble young master who had never suffered setbacks. There was no reason to reason with such a self-righteous person who would only find excuses and never admit that he had failed.
"Bastard!"
Chu Ming's disregard made Ring Lord Number Five even angrier. In the next moment, under the control of his anger and resentment, he jumped onto the ring again without a care. He glared at Chu Ming with a venomous gaze and said word by word,"Despicable bastard, I will make you pay a heavy price for your actions. Today, I will not rest until you die!”Obviously, even though he was knocked off the stage by Chu Ming, he still didn't want to admit that he was no match for Chu Ming. He only thought that Chu Ming had hidden his cultivation and caught him off guard. If they had a " fair and square " fight, he believed that he would definitely be able to defeat his opponent.
It had to be said that his thoughts were really naive. At the same time, his idiotic behavior of being blinded by anger was undoubtedly paving the way for his own death.
"To the death?"
Hearing this, Chu Ming's lips curled up slightly, and a cold light shot out from his dark eyes.""Then go to hell!" Before he could finish his words, his feet suddenly shook and he turned into a beam of light and crossed a distance of eight feet. Then, the refined iron sword that weighed a hundred pounds drew a semicircle in the air and hacked down at Ring Lord Number Five at an unparalleled speed. Wherever the sword passed, even the air was split apart, making a "chi chi" sound.
Sonic booms sounded.
Ring Lord No. 5 had wanted to say something harsh, but he didn't expect Chu Ming to attack without even saying hello. By the time he reacted, Chu Ming's sword was already less than three feet above his head. In his haste, he didn't have time to accumulate energy to counterattack. He could only gather a trace of Genuine Qi and use his sword to block.
"Clang!"
Metal clanged and sparks flew. The moment their weapons collided, Ring Lord No. 5 felt a huge force coming from his opponent's sword. The force was so great that it knocked the sword in his hand to the side.
Chi ~
The longsword continued to attack, aiming straight for the head.
"No-"
Ring Master Number Five's eyes were wide open. However, the long sword that was filled with a thick aura of death did not stop at all...
