You promised to practice martial arts, but you have mastered the golden body and Dharma?

Chapter 45 The heart of Tao is broken!

"Li Jiu, come here, Zhu Xi, each choose a comfortable wooden sword." Lu Xing glanced at Zhao Li who was coming back, and then turned his eyes to the two of them again: "I told you yesterday, the relationship between you two The assessment method is a duel. After one night, you should be almost ready."

"Be careful in the duel. It is a duel only, no matter life or death. If one party surrenders or surrenders or is in a certain death situation, then stop. The winner can get two pieces of Sword and Sandalwood."

After listening to the rules of the assessment, Li Jiu took out a wooden sword and felt calmer than a moored boat in the middle of the lake.

Yesterday I had realized the sword's power, which was enough to suppress Liu Zhuxi in terms of swordsmanship, but there shouldn't be much difference in terms of strength and speed. It was all about luck and was not the decisive factor in victory or defeat.

This battle should be won.

Just as he was thinking about this, Li Jiu had already stood in the center of the sword training hall, facing Liu Zhuxi five steps away, with his sharp peach blossom eyes sinking slightly and his eyes sharp.

Observing carefully, it can be seen that her dark and translucent eyes moved slightly, and from the corner of her eyes, she glanced at Zhao Li, who was standing proudly next to Teacher Lu, and there was a hint of cold restraint.

"Zhuxi, don't be distracted, the assessment is about to begin."

Lu Xing's voice was like a bell that dispersed the distracting thoughts in Liu Zhuxi's mind. Her eyes suddenly became condensed, she stared at Li Jiu closely, and she clenched her right hand tightly.

Zhao Li is getting stronger and stronger, but I stand still and am even arranged to be Li Jiu's opponent.

Is it because the teacher attaches too much importance to Li Jiu, or is it because I really can't do it anymore?

Yes, Li Jiu is very talented, better than me, a genius on the same level as Zhao Li, but he has just realized the sword sense. It has been half a year since I realized the sword sense, and I am only a hair away from the sword power.

Is this really a peer-to-peer assessment?

Does the teacher really believe that his new talent is enough to defeat me, a student who has been learning swordsmanship from him for two years?

Maybe in the future, but now, Li Jiu can't win!

Liu Zhuxi's thoughts fell, and he raised his arrogant chin. The wooden sword in his hand remained motionless, like a pure iron heavy sword!
  Zhao Li looked at the two people in front of him. There was no distinction between who was higher and who was lower. They were both inferior to him and treated equally.

Liu Zhuxi was cut off by his own sword half a year ago, and he was the only loser.

The third student suddenly recruited by Director Lu Xing had a reserved temperament, hidden edge, and didn't seem strong enough.

Boring assessments waste your time practicing swordsmanship.

"The assessment begins!"

Before his voice fell, Liu Zhuxi had already leapt forward, locked the wooden sword in Li Jiu's throat with both hands, and stabbed straight through the wind and waves with the tip of the sword!

The faint sound of swords blew the two tufts of hair on her forehead, and Li Jiu's unfazed face in her peach blossom eyes quickly enlarged!
  This time, the blood in her whole body was flowing along her veins, and the delicate muscle outlines on her arms suddenly appeared, as if an invisible force held her wrist and pushed her away!

you lose.
  Liu Zhuxi whispered in his heart. At this moment, Li Jiu, who had not yet reacted in his eyes, suddenly drew his sword, and the wooden sword blade slashed at an angle!

boom!
  Liu Zhuxi's heart skipped a beat, and suddenly a cold wind swept over him. The hot blood all over his body was blown cold, and goosebumps suddenly appeared on his arms!
  Almost as a conditioned reflex, her pupils suddenly opened wide, and the scene of facing Zhao Li half a year ago came to mind!
  呲——

Liu Zhuxi held the hilt of the sword tightly, unable to regain control, and suddenly felt a shock force coming from the tiger's mouth, and it disappeared in an instant.

Clang!

The front half of the wooden sword had been thrown away, and it fell to the ground, buzzing and trembling.

Liu Zhuxi held her breath, a bit of cold light stung her throat. She looked along the sword blade to the hilt. Li Jiu looked calm, holding the sword in one hand, and his dark eyes were like ink jade sinking in a deep pool. There are storms.

Her thoughts were instantly empty, as if she had been caught off guard by the coldest rainstorm.

I lost.
  "You have mastered your sword skills." Liu Zhuxi's questioning tone was so low that it became a statement. Her tense arm muscles relaxed, and the wooden sword swung down as it lost its support.

Hey.

Half of the wooden sword hit her leg, and the mirror in her heart shattered.

In less than a month, Li Jiu reached a higher level of swordsmanship than himself.

Less than a month
  Li Jiu slowly withdrew his sword. Zhao Li, who was watching, moved his brows slightly and changed his view slightly.

This man has some talent and is not a mediocre person.

But Director Lu Xing asked him to stay and see him just because of this.

That's not necessary. Being able to understand the power of the sword doesn't mean being on par with yourself.
  Zhao Li's arrogant expression did not change.

"The assessment is over, Li Jiusheng, you go back to the quiet room 003 first, and I will send you two copies of Sword and Sandalwood later." There was a hint of surprise in Lu Xing's eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his tone gentle.

"Good teacher."

Li Jiu put his sword back and glanced at Liu Zhuxi, who was lost in thought. The wooden sword in his hand was shaky.

He had never seen Liu Zhuxi in this state before. He was like a wild cat falling from a hundred-meter-high building. His body was not dead, but his heart had experienced extreme despair.

Liu Zhuxi's Taoist heart was easily broken, like a glass ball dropped from a height.

And he didn't feel sorry or pity for it.

With Liu Zhuxi’s temperament, this is all fate and does not deserve sympathy.
  "Teacher" After Li Jiu left, Liu Zhuxi spoke silently, like a broken sword without emotion, "The assessment is over, and I will go back."

"Well, go and have a good rest. I will talk to you later if I have something to discuss."

Liu Zhuxi didn't pay attention to the second part of the sentence, and walked towards the 002 quiet room in despair, forgetting to put the half-broken sword in his hand back to its original position.

Zhao Li glanced at her back casually and asked naturally: "Teacher Lu, you just gave two copies of Sword and Sandalwood to the man named Li Jiu just now?"

"Correct."

Lu Xing did not deny it, and even the surprise in the corner of his eyes became more and more pure, showing an indescribable stamina, which caused unstoppable waves in his heart.

Yesterday it seemed that Li Jiu had only realized the sword sense for a few days, but today he had already realized the sword power.

If this matter is revealed, it will not only shock the Ninth Middle School and the Municipal Martial Arts Bureau, but also people higher up will be alarmed.

Because this is the true swordsmanship genius, a genius that is rare even in his own eyes!

Zhao Li didn't know this. He practiced swordsmanship and martial arts all year round. His knowledge of Li Jiu only came from his father - he was a student recruited by Director Lu Xing from the third year of high school. He had some talent, a low-level background, and was new to kendo.
  Wait, you are new to kendo?
  Suddenly a flash of light broke into Zhao Li's mind, and then a heavy hammer hit his proud heart, which made him tremble.

In less than a month since Li Jiu came to the core area, he has mastered the sword's power from holding a sword for the first time?

He had mastered the Transparent Sword Technique to a proficient level in less than a month?
  Impossible, it took me a year from getting started to becoming proficient. How could he, a low-level student, have the resources like me, let alone surpass me in achievements.

With this unreasonable speculation, it seems that my Taoist heart is not strong enough and I have to continue practicing swordsmanship to break through my own shackles.
  Thinking of this, Zhao Li looked as usual and walked away without saying hello to Lu Xing.

Looking at his back, Lu Xing murmured: "Zhao Qiang has no way to teach people, and he has no way to teach his son. He spent all his efforts to raise a son like this. He has an arrogant nature. If he doesn't encounter some setbacks now, he will see you when he leaves Xixiang City in the future." There is a high probability that he will fall into despair after entering the world, and his character is far inferior to that of Li Jiu."
