One move!
It did not even count as one move.
Li Yinru was defeated!
Such a fast speed, such an easy end to the battle, really shocked everyone.
"Hiss …"
Following that, a series of gasps could be heard one after another.
"I … lost?"
Li Yinru could not believe it.
However, the chilling aura of the saber blade on his neck made it clear to him that he had indeed lost.
Immediately after, his face, eyes, and neck all turned red.
The more confidence he had before, the more shame and anger he felt at this moment.
The voices of disbelief around him, as well as the looks of sympathy, relief, and disappointment, were like fiery slaps that continuously landed on his face.
Slap, slap, slap!
"Li Yinru lost?
What about the promise he made to take me to Wujiang County? "
Guo Zhengru was stunned. The first thing he thought of was whether Li Yinru could fulfill his promise.
In his heart, he once again felt an incomparable sense of loss and anger.
Time and time again, the opportunities that were placed in front of him fell through one after another. He was really unwilling to resign himself to such a fate.
"Mount Ziyue won?"
Liu Dong also could not believe it.
He suddenly realized that he did not know this disciple as well as he thought he did.
All along, he only cared about the progress of his cultivation and the extent of his outer forging.
It seemed that he did not know much about his martial arts techniques or his means of fighting against enemies.
The only thing that could be said to be helpful was to arrange for him to follow Old Li to slaughter livestock and practice his saber skills.
In his opinion, how powerful could an outer forging cultivator be?
How powerful would his combat strength be?
Only when he began to cultivate his inner forging would he need to master powerful combat strength. Only then would he have the ability to protect himself in the Jianghu.
He did not expect Ziyue to give him such a big surprise.
Even his eyes lit up when he saw the speed of Li Yinru's attacks and the sharpness of his saber skills. He could feel the power in them.
Nie Yunhao was the only one who did not look too surprised. Although he was a little surprised, he did not look too surprised.
As early as when they were besieging the snake demon, he had seen Ziyue's lightning-fast saber slash.
Even though it was just a glimpse, it was enough to make his eyes light up. Therefore, he wasn't too surprised by this result.
The only thing that surprised him was that he didn't expect Ziyue to defeat Li Yinru so quickly.
After all, Li Yinru was the son of Hall Master Li Zhao from the headquarters of the Scorching Sun Gang. His strength was not bad among the youths.
"Senior Brother Li, thank you for letting me win."
Ziyue said as he slowly withdrew his long saber.
Li Yinru's face was cloudy and uncertain. He looked at Ziyue with a complicated expression. Without saying anything else, he quickly left.
"Elder Nie, please announce the results."
Liu Dong couldn't help but smile as he hurriedly said.
Left Protector Zhao Jing's face twitched, but he only looked coldly at Ziyue below the stage. No one knew what he was thinking.
"I announce that Ziyue is the winner of this battle.
Accordingly, the title of Outstanding Disciple is also given to Ziyue. "
Nie Yunhao's deep voice clearly spread to every corner of the Martial Arts Practice Field.
"Congratulations Senior Brother Bai for becoming an Outstanding Disciple."
"Congratulations Bai Shidi, you are truly a role model for our generation."
"Brother Bai, you are amazing!"
…
In an instant, all kinds of congratulations were heard. Ziyue responded to them one by one with a smile on his face.
Even though he wasn't surprised by his victory over Li Yinru and even felt relaxed, when he actually defeated his opponent and heard that the title of Outstanding Disciple was given to him, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"Mount Ziyue, what realm are you at now?"
Liu Dong couldn't help but call Ziyue to his side and ask, "What realm have you reached with your saber technique?"
"Master, with the Snake Demon Flesh you gave me, I have already reached the level of external forging of muscles and bones.
As for saber techniques, perhaps it is because I am naturally suited for saber techniques. Now, I have mastered the Eighteen Consecutive Saber Moves and the Saber Chopping Technique to the Greater Mastery Stage. "
Ziyue replied softly.
This was also the excuse he had thought of from the start.
In terms of martial arts, due to the limitation of talent, advancing too quickly would cause unnecessary suspicion. However, in terms of martial arts, due to the emphasis on technique, there was no shortage of people who could cultivate to an extremely high level in a short period of time.
Therefore, although Ziyue's talent in martial arts was shocking, it wasn't to the extent of being unbelievable or to the extent of being investigated.
However, even though Ziyue's voice was rather soft when he spoke, many of the supervisors and protectors present were experts. When they heard what he said, they couldn't help but reveal a trace of shock on their faces.
Bai Ziyue's talent in practicing martial arts was already enviable. Now that Bai Ziyue's talent in practicing saber techniques was even better than his talent in practicing martial arts, he could not help but feel jealous.
Especially Right Protector Liu Yang, who was the most depressed at this time.
Back then, he had expressed the idea of taking Ziyue as a disciple, but he didn't expect to be rejected by Sect Master Liu Dong.
Now that the other party was shining brightly, he really felt regretful.
"Haha, good, as expected, you didn't lose face for Master.
Originally, as an Outstanding Disciple, when you go to the Scorching Sun Gang's headquarters in Wujiang County, the gang will naturally reward you.
Now, I'll add another prize to your reward.
Later, you can go to my private storehouse and pick something to take back. "
Liu Dong naturally saw the envious eyes of the other supervisors and even the Elder Nie. His mood became more and more comfortable, and he directly said to Ziyue.
"Thank you, Master!"
Ziyue was also a little excited.
As the Sect Master, Liu Dong's private storehouse must have countless good things. Now that he could open his private storehouse and let him pick something, it was definitely a great reward.
"Haha, Ziyue, you really have to thank your Master.
Liu Menzhu's private storehouse is a place that makes all of us jealous. Last time, I licked my old face and begged him for the Dragon Bone Whip, but he would rather lock it in his private storehouse than agree to give it to me. "
On the side, Tan Chaofan couldn't help but stare and say.
"Yes, and that piece of Mysterious Nether Iron Stone is an excellent material for forging weapons. Even Immortal Master Zhou He of the government couldn't help but mention it twice, but your Master refuted him.
If I were you, I would definitely choose that Mysterious Nether Iron Stone. This thing is priceless. "
Right Custodian Liu Yang also seemed to be sincere in his suggestion.
"You guys are too much. It wasn't easy for me to save up some money, but you guys took it all out."
Liu Dong snorted, but he wasn't really angry.
"Thank you, Master!"
Ziyue could only thank him again.
"Ziyue, I'm going back to Wujiang County tomorrow. Do you want to go with me now, or wait for a month or two until the official award ceremony?"
Nie Yunhao also asked at this time.
"How long until the official award ceremony?"
Ziyue's heart became serious and he quickly asked.
"According to the current calculation, the award ceremony will start in 50 days. If you don't arrive by then, you will automatically be disqualified."
Nie Yunhao said with a smile.
"I'll definitely arrive before the award ceremony."
Ziyue only thought for a moment and quickly said.
Although he also wanted to go to Wujiang County as soon as possible to see the wider world, he also had many things in Qinghe Town that he needed time to arrange.
Nie Yunhao nodded and didn't say anything else.
After the battle ended, the Natural Flow also dispersed.
At this time, Ziyue had already followed his master, Liu Dong, all the way to the Sect Leader's residence.
He didn't forget the award that his master promised to give him.
He was also looking forward to it and secretly wondered what good things were in his master's private storehouse.
Soon, Ziyue followed the Sect Leader and directly stepped into his bedroom.
"Only two or three people in Qinghe Town have entered my private storehouse. Mount Ziyue, you are the fourth.
There are some good things in this private storehouse. Of course, there are also some things that aren't very valuable but are somewhat unique.
They are my personal collection.
To be honest, even I am a little reluctant to give some of them to you.
However, I'm in a good mood today.
Your performance was indeed beyond my expectations.
Therefore, as long as you choose something in this private storehouse, you can take it away no matter what it is.
Of course, you can only take one. I won't allow you to take more than that. "
As Liu Dong spoke, he came to the head of the bed and twisted on a vase at the side.
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
A slow cracking sound was heard. Then, a cabinet at the side automatically moved aside, revealing a hard stone wall behind it.
However, there was no trace of the private storehouse. Liu Dong walked in another direction and twisted on the other side of the bed again.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
A series of muffled sounds rang out. Then, the seemingly hard stone wall was slowly pulled open, revealing a rather spacious secret room behind the door.
Liu Dong was the first to step in. He lit up the four oil lamps in the secret room. Immediately, the entire secret room became bright.
Ziyue's eyes swept across the four oil lamps, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.
These four oil lamps were not ordinary objects. They were made of colored glass. Under the illumination of the oil lamps, they were magnificent and mesmerizing.
Colored glass might not be too precious to Ziyue, but to the people in this world, it was extremely rare. It was even more precious than some beautiful jade.
It was a little too extravagant for his master to place it as a lampshade.
It made him a little dizzy.
It was as if he had seen a sudden clap of thunder in silence.
Then, Ziyue looked at the other things in the secret room. His body and mind couldn't help but tremble, and he held his breath.
There were too many collections here, and there were also many good things.
Ziyue just took a look, and his breathing couldn't help but quicken a little. He couldn't help showing a trace of expectation on his face. He said, "Master, can I only choose one?"
Liu Dong couldn't help but smirk as he said: "That's right, only one.
It's because the good things are mixed with the defective ones that it's a good test of your eyesight.
Otherwise, I would have just given it to you directly. Why would I need to do this?
Luck and eyesight are both very important. "
