Chapter 131: Challenge the Seventh
all my heart and eradicate the impurities within. He said that when a future martial artist bearing the mark of the Temporal Divine Armament appears, I must help him cultivate The Secret Tome of Time...Liu Ning grasped the hilt of a golden sword at her waist and drew out a three-foot-long fish-scale soft sword. [To read the latest chapters, please go to]
The sword light flashed, scattering the silver needles.
"Ding ding!"
Liu Ning's brow furrowed, wanting to attack Zi Xi, but was forced back by the hail of needles. She could only keep waving her sword to defend herself, causing her true qi to rapidly deplete.
A stalemate emerged on the stage.
"She... is she a hedgehog How did she hide so many needles" Duanmu Xinglei looked at Zhang Ruochin, asking with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
"How would I know" Zhang Ruochin said.
"You don't know" Dan Mu Xingling was very surprised.
Zhang Ruochin gently shook his head and continued to stare at the challenge stage. He had seen through Zi Qian's tactics. Knowing she was no match for Liu Ning, she used silver needles to consume Liu Ning's true energy.
If Liu Ning can't break Zi Xi's silver needle flying rain, then Liu Ning will definitely lose.

As Zhang Ruochin had predicted, after a quarter of an hour, Liu Ning's true qi was greatly depleted and she was ambushed by Zi Xi from behind.
When Liu Ning reacted, Zi Xi's sword was already at her neck.
Challenge victory.

Although Zi Xi had deliberately concealed herself, she still left traces, allowing Duan Mu Xing Ling to notice some clues.
Zhang Ruochin's heart skipped a beat, and he smiled, "If she were really an assassin, wouldn't I have been killed by her long ago"
"He's right." Duanmu Xingling nodded.
Zizi's last sword strike was indeed amazing, completely intangible. Only the martial artists on the Xuanbang could see her swordsmanship trajectory. The other martial artists couldn't see it at all.
Since Zi Xi defeated Liu Ning, she naturally became the new ninth-ranked expert of the West Courtyard.
Liu Ning automatically dropped one place and became the tenth. (www.mianhuatang.cc good-looking novels
)
Mo Qinglong was squeezed out of the top ten, becoming eleventh.
Then, many more people went to challenge the top ten warriors. The most people challenged Zi Xi, as everyone thought she was the weakest among them.

Many people's abilities were actually stronger than Zi Qian's, but they just stumbled and lost to her. When they reacted, Zi Qian's sword was already pointing at their necks, preventing them from moving.
A senior sister ranked seventeenth in the Western Court, after being defeated by Zi Qian's sword, walked down the challenge stage with great displeasure: "How could this be My strength is clearly greater than hers, why would I lose to her"
Only warriors on the Xuan Rank could see the true prowess of Zi Xi:
First of all, her speed is her biggest advantage, with a strange sword-drawing technique that makes it impossible to guard against.
Moreover, her eyesight and hearing far surpassed those of ordinary people. She could anticipate danger in advance and hear the sound of an opponent's attack before they even made a move. Subsequently, she would formulate the most accurate counter-strategy within the shortest amount of time.

Thirdly, her combat experience is very rich, in this aspect, she is much better than other students.

Zhang Ruochen also nodded. Originally, Zi Xi also had a weakness, which was that her constitution was a bit weaker than those top-tier geniuses.
In the last three months, she refined five drops of semi-saint true essence, which made up for her weakness. Her strength has also skyrocketed.
Under the gaze of everyone, Zi Xi walked to the challenge platform and stood to Zhang Ruochin's right. Scholar Duanmu Xingling and Zhang Ruochin looked at each other, holding their hands in front of their chests, and said: "Aren't you going to challenge"
"It's about time!"
Zhang Ruochin walked towards the challenge stage and, standing on it, said: “I challenge the seventh-ranked player.”
>
With Zhang Ruochin's current cultivation, even challenging Ju Hailan, ranked fifth, he would have a high chance of winning.

However, Zhang Ruochen didn't want to be so high-profile. It was enough to get the qualification to enter the intermediate ruins, there was no need to push himself into the spotlight.
Challenging for seventh place is a relatively conservative approach.

Although he wanted to keep a low profile, challenging Sikong Shu as a newborn still caused quite a stir. Many people came rushing over to watch this battle.
"Could Zhang Ruochen possibly succeed in his challenge" asked a top-fifty senior student from the previous generation.
Another disciple who had reached the peak of the Xuanji realm said, “If it hadn't been for Zi Xi’s intervention, I might not have believed it. But even Zi Xi was able to defeat Liu Ning, the eighth-ranked cultivator. Zhang Ruochin’s strength surpasses Zi Xi’s, so he may very well have a chance to defeat Si Kongshu.”
"That's right! The newly born ones have exceptional talent, their abilities cannot be measured simply by martial cultivation."
This year's freshmen are too powerful. They just defeated the top ten masters in the academy after only three months of enrollment. How can we, the old students who have been here for several years, feel about this
…
What are you doing......
As the number of students gathered below the challenge platform continued to grow, even the vice deans from three academic colleges and the dean of the West College arrived. They stood at a distance, gazing towards the challenge platform. It was evident that they were also looking forward to this battle.
The more outstanding Zhang Ruochin performs, the better it is for Wushi Academy.
A genius is the most important resource for any power.
Si Kong Shu was tall and muscular, with a physique like that of a tiger. He had shoulders as broad as an ox, and muscles rippling all over his body. Although only twenty-five years old, he already sported a full beard, resembling a seasoned warrior.
He held a black iron rod in his hand, climbed the stairs, and stood ten steps away from Zhang Ruochin.
"Boom!"
He slammed the iron rod onto the ground, and the earth immediately let out a deafening roar and trembled violently.
Sikong Shu smiled and said, "Zhang Ruochin, I know your cultivation is strong, and your talent is high. You helped Xiyuan win the first place for new students in the four academies, and I admire you as a senior brother. However, you kid are arrogant, daring to challenge me, your senior brother. How confident are you that you can win"
"Ten percent." Zhang Ruochin said.
"Ten percent You think too little of your senior brother" Sikong Shu was a little unhappy.
Zhang Ruochin said calmly, “For a martial artist, once you choose to challenge an opponent, you must have the confidence of victory. If you don't even have the confidence of winning, then you've already lost half the battle before you even fight.”
Well said. If you don't challenge, you settle. But once you challenge, you must have the unwavering belief that you will win.
"Sisong smiled mysteriously and said, “But you chose the wrong person today, you are destined to lose to your senior brother's hands. Come on! Let your senior brother show you, how strong the first genius of our West Academy is"

Zhang Ruchen felt a powerful wave of energy emanating from Sikong Shu, so he did not dare to underestimate him and became even more cautious.
Every single person who can enter the top 10 of Xi Yuan has real skill. If you're not careful, you might lose on the challenge stage.
Grasping the Soul-Stealing Sword, he poured his pure and true energy into it. The fourteen inscriptions on the blade all activated.
There are four "force" patterns, four "ice" patterns, and four "electricity" patterns, as well as two "light" patterns.
This is Zhang Ruichen's first time activating all the inscription patterns of the Flash Soul Sword, reaching its strongest state.
The Flashsoul Sword, originally weighing fifty-three jin, reached a weight of four hundred and fifty-three jin under the empowerment of four power series inscriptions.
At the same time, cold air, sword light, and electric currents crisscrossed on the blade, streaks of sword energy flowing around Zhang Ruochin's body, as if completely merging with him.
Is this the advanced state of "Sword Follows Heart"
Si Kongshu knew Zhang Ruochin had reached the advanced stage of swordsmanship, his face turned serious as he channeled his true energy into the tungsten star cold iron staff in his hand.

The purer the inscription of a Zhenwu Treasure, the stronger its power.
The > only has two inscriptions, which is quite pure. Therefore, among the five-grade Zhenwu treasures, it also belongs to the top-tier combat weapon.
The Twenty-One Talismans are activated, the weight of the Tungsten Star Cold Iron Staff reaches 1,608 jin, incredibly heavy. It lies on the ground as if it could crack the earth.
Si Kong Shu waved his tungsten star-cold iron staff with one hand, a bone-chilling cold emanated from the staff. On the challenge stage, snowflakes appeared one after another, and a layer of white frost condensed on the ground. The temperature in the entire air was rapidly dropping.

"Oh no, Si Kongshu has actually been hiding his strength," Duanmu Xingle began to worry about Zhang Ruochen, saying, "With Si Kongshu's current display of power, he is already not weaker than Ju Hailan who is ranked fifth, and even might be stronger."
The headmaster of Xi Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of a smile. "I didn't expect that Si Kong Shu would actually cultivate the Tai'a Han Bing Gong to the eighth level. With his strength, he could already rival those martial artists ranked at the bottom of the 玄榜."

"Congratulations, Dean," the deputy director of the South Courtyard smiled. "The West Courtyard has gained another student at the Xuanbang warrior level."
"Alas! It's a pity for Zhang Ruochin. If Sikong Shu hadn't broken through to the eighth level ofad already brought a group of thousand-year-old tree people and chased after them, completely ignoring Mingyi Shuren Wang's advice.Now, the Shu army is in utter chaos. Mingyi Shuren, the King of Shu,...
