章 31: Chapter 31: First Glimpse of Sharpness
At this time, the two referees flew onto the platform again.
"Next up, Lu Li against Lin Hui."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuling urgently called out to Lu Li, "Sixth brother, it's your turn now."
"Little Li, be cautious. There's no shame in admitting defeat if you can't win; just don't get killed by accident..."
Lu Yuting also unusually gave another word of caution.
The members of the Lu Family also showed agreement on their faces. Winning or losing was one thing, but preserving one's life was crucial; they emphasized maintaining a good mindset.
Lu Li nodded indifferently, "The kid understands."
Having said that, he leaped up and flew to the center of the high platform.
His white robe fluttered with the wind, revealing a handsome face with a faint smile, exuding an air of casual grace.
At this time, Lin Hui also flew onto the platform, standing opposite Lu Li.
Lu Li quietly scrutinized the opponent; the man was around thirty years old, his aura just stepping into the eighth level of Qi Cultivation, still somewhat unstable.
It was clear he had forcefully broken through by consuming Medicine Pills; the opponent was well-prepared.
"Mr. Lu, please enlighten me."
Lin Hui slowly spoke.
"Please!"
Lu Li returned the gesture, then drew out the Aminokaze.
With mana stimulated, the sword radiated dazzling light and the tip pulsed with Sword Qi, commanding an extraordinary presence.
Ever since he had used a large quantity of spiritual materials to refine the Aminokaze, its might had greatly increased, reaching the extreme limit of a high-grade Magic Artifact.
Seeing Lu Li's imposing Sword Qi, which was exceedingly sharp, Lin Hui felt his heart tighten.
"The intelligence was wrong? Wasn't this person said to be mediocre?"
He inwardly cursed the members of his family who had gathered the intelligence.
This sharp Sword Qi and the vast aura clearly indicated he had broken through the eighth level of Qi Cultivation long ago.
Lin Hui didn't have time to think further and directly drew out a dark brown Flying Sword to meet the challenge.
The members of the Lin Family below the platform were also somewhat surprised; in their minds, this person was only of average talent, barely breaking through the eighth level of Qi Cultivation.
Now, the aura of the opponent was obviously very dominant.
The members of the Lu Family, too, watched the platform with faces filled with joy, unexpectedly thrilled by Lu Li's surprise performance.
Only the members of the Chen Family showed some astonishment.
"Eh, I didn't expect that besides Lu Qingqing, the Lu Family had this person."
Chen Wuluo was quite curious.
"But that's all there is to it. If the opponent only relies on such cultivation to challenge me, then it's simply seeking humiliation."
The cultivators of the Chen Family also agreed one after another.
In their eyes, the gulf between the opponent and Chen Wuluo was like a moat that could not be crossed.
The opponent's appearance was just a minor surprise and did not damage the grand scheme.
At this time, the situation on the platform had already changed.
Lu Li circulated his mana, his aura rampantly spreading and pressing towards the opponent.
Lin Hui also mustered his full strength, but even so, he still fell short by a large margin compared to Lu Li.
The two faced off for a while.
Lin Hui was completely on the losing end.
If he waited any longer, he feared he would have no chance of winning.
Biting his teeth, he immediately took the initiative, controlling his Flying Sword to strike at Lu Li.
Lu Li, seeing this, remained calm; with mana ignited, the Aminokaze emitted a fierce Sword Qi that pulsed through the void like lightning, slashing towards the opponent's Magic Artifact.
"Bang..."
In an instant, the two Magic Artifacts collided, and a loud noise erupted, the opponent's Flying Sword sent flying dozens of meters away.
"What!"
Feeling the massive recoil within his body, Lin Hui was shocked.
"Such vast mana!"
Just one strike, and he felt a wave-like force of mana fiercely surging towards him, causing a feeling of constriction in his chest.
It seemed this person was the Lu Family's hidden trump card.
This time, it seemed he was bound to lose.
Realizing this, Lin Hui felt bitterness in his heart; the Foundation Establishment Pill seemed to be slipping further from his reach.
Below the platform, the members of the Lu Family saw Lu Li taking the upper hand and showed joy on their faces.
The shadows of previous failures began to dissipate a lot.
Lu Yuting was also shocked, thinking to herself, "Could it be that what this kid said before was true?"
She couldn't help entertaining this ridiculous thought.
On the platform, Lu Li, seeing his hit was effective, did not pause.
He operated the Flying Sword to slash again at the opponent's head.
The fierce Sword Light flickered wantonly on the blade, shimmering like golden light.
No fancy tricks, just sheer overwhelming force!
Seeing the Flying Sword attacking once more, Lin Hui's face showed a look of fear.
He had no choice but to once again raise his Flying Sword to meet the attack.
With a "puff," just as they collided, a huge backlash of Mana struck, causing him to suddenly spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Following another fierce collision, Lu Li displayed a completely overwhelming force.
"I concede!"
Lin Hui conceded repeatedly.
He knew he was completely no match for his opponent and feared that if the battle continued, he might accidentally lose his life here.
"Mr. Lin, you're too kind!"
Lu Li said with a smile on his face, then immediately sheathed Aminokaze and flew down to the audience area, looking relaxed and at ease.
"Victory goes to Lu Li in this battle!"
The two judges immediately ascended the platform to announce the verdict.
Lu Li returned to his spot and sat down cross-legged.
This battle he had won with ease; his Mana was scarcely spent.
Lu Hongchang commented with a look of admiration, "Little Li, well done. If you win all your battles today, our Lu Family will definitely not be at the bottom."
"You have the primary merit in this battle."
Lu Yuting was also filled with curiosity, "No wonder our ancestor values you so much. You've been keeping secrets from your aunt, haven't you? Are you itching for a spanking…"
Lu Li immediately felt helpless, "I tell the truth, and yet Third Aunt doesn't believe me…"
Even Lu Yuling beside him was visibly excited.
"Next, it's up to our sixth brother to take on three of their men."
Lu Qingqing also looked over, her eyes firm.
Lu Li exchanged a glance with her and said nothing. Everything was understood without words.
At that moment, the voice of the judges resonated from the platform.
"The next battle will be between Chen Tianqi and Wang Chi."
Soon, the two of them flew up to the stage.
Once the Array was activated, the two sides immediately engaged in fierce combat.
With a realm slightly superior, Chen Tianqi's Flying Sword danced wildly, relentlessly forcing his opponent down.
The Wang Family's cultivator could only struggle bitterly on the platform, and after a short while, he shouted with reluctance, "I concede."
Following the judges' declaration, Chen Tianqi earned another point for his family.
After stepping down from the platform, the Chen Family members looked at the Lu Family with provocation on their faces.
The first day of the magical duels had ended, and the Chen Family had won two battles, making them the most prominent competitors at that moment.
The participants began to meditate to recover their Mana, preparing for the next day's battles.
…
The following day, early morning.
The sunrise began, and its glow spread across the land.
After a night's rest, the duelists had all fully recovered.
Soon, the battles would begin again.
"The first battle, Lu Qingqing versus Wang Mochen."
As the announcement was made, Lu Qingqing leapt up and took her place in the center of the platform.
Her gown flowed like a blooming flower, complementing her delicate beauty, yet her expression was ice-cold.
Wang Mochen also flew to the platform, standing not far from Lu Qingqing.
The man had a tall build and a resolute face.
"Mr. Lu, please honor me with your instruction."
After bowing to each other, they began their duel.
Lu Qingqing drew her Flying Sword, and with a surge of Mana, a blaze of red light appeared, manifesting into the phantom of a Phoenix as she launched her attack straight at her opponent.
She went all out with her first move, not bothering with any probing attacks!
She knew that this person's cultivation was just slightly below hers and was determined to settle the fight in one move.
Seeing this, Wang Mochen had no choice but to confront her.
He summoned his Flying Sword, channeled his full Mana, and sent Sword Qi crashing towards the fiery Phoenix phantom, like a dragon swooping down.
"Boom..."
A loud explosion echoed, and intense Mana scattered wildly, causing the surrounding Arrays to tremble.
The two Magic Artifacts battled equally in mid-air.
Upon seeing this, Lu Qingqing increased her Mana output, pushing her energy to the limit.
The fiery phantom gradually neared her opponent.
Before long, Lu Qingqing's Flying Sword gained the upper hand.
Just as she was about to deliver the final blow.
Her opponent suddenly spoke up, "I concede."
Lu Qingqing let out a slow breath, aware that continuing the battle would be immensely strenuous.
Even if she could win, she would likely be injured, and her opponent probably realized this as well, which is why he chose to withdraw early.
It was better not to affect the subsequent battles.
