Match against Liu Wei at 3:00
Liu Qing drew the fifth, and he initiated the challenge. He didn't want to challenge Liu Bo, so out of the remaining two, Liu Yan was obviously the strongest, leaving only Liu Hui to be challenged.
Both of them came onto the stage, Liu Qing said: "Hui Jie, please advise."
"Your 'Falling Star Sword' has the power of falling stars, it's really too powerful. As soon as we engage in battle, I'll have to go all out, otherwise there's a possibility of defeat. You'd better be careful." Liu Hui warned.
"I knew this weakness wouldn't escape Sister Hui's notice. Please spare me, Sister Hui." Upon hearing Liu Hui say this, Liu Qing realized that the flaw in his swordsmanship had been discovered by her, and he was bound to lose this match. His mood changed from anxiety to a single-minded desire to use this rare opportunity to further hone his "Falling Star Sword Technique".
Liu Hui indeed went all out with his first move, displaying a set of concentrated sword techniques that not only were profound and mysterious but also showed power far surpassing Liu Hong and Liu Lin who had already been defeated.
Liu Qing's "Falling Star Sword" was hard to resist, and the danger was palpable. He no longer had a competitive heart, and although his martial skills and strength were not as good as Liu Hui's, his mind was clearer, and his understanding and communication with the stars became easier, and the process of summoning the falling star's power also took less time.
Liu Qing barely held on, just as he was about to fall into a desperate situation, he finally managed to bring down the power of the first star. With the support of a star's power, Liu Qing's predicament slightly improved, although it was still extremely dangerous, but he could hold on for a little while longer.
"Wow! Liu Qing actually persisted until the first star power fell, it seems that the situation has slightly improved."
"Yes, Sister Hui said from the start that she would go all out, I thought Sister Hui wouldn't give him this chance, but how did he still manage to hold on until the Starfall?"
"Hui Jie should have gone all out already, but Liu Qing is very stubborn, and he should have made progress again. The process of his falling star power seems to be shortened."
The onlookers were abuzz with discussion, each expressing their own opinions.
"I didn't expect Xiao Qingtian's talent to be so high, and he actually made progress in such a short time. Under his full force, he can still hold on until the fall of the star power without defeat. It seems that I need to work harder, after all, I shouldn't show my trump card now." Liu Hui is not like Liu Hong and Liu Lin, her talent is the highest among the four, not only is her martial arts realm far superior, but also her accumulated strength is much higher than several people, so Liu Hui believes that even if she only uses this set of condensed swordsmanship, she should be able to defeat Liu Qing.
Liu Qing brought down a star's power to infuse his sword technique, naturally weakening the difficulty of withstanding it. Under his stubborn persistence, Liu Hui was still unable to defeat him. Half a minute later, Liu Qing finally brought down another star's power to infuse again.
With the blessing of the power of two stars, Liu Qing's situation improved a lot and he was barely able to withstand it, no longer in a precarious state.
Although Liu Qing's swordsmanship was becoming increasingly powerful, Liu Hui remained calm and composed. She believed that even if she didn't use her next trump card, she would still be able to defeat Liu Qing. Therefore, she continued to use this set of condensed sword techniques and did not switch to a more powerful martial skill.
After a brief resistance, Liu Qing's third star power finally fell again. Under the support of the three-star power, Liu Hui could no longer completely suppress Liu Qing's counterattack, and although Liu Qing was still trapped in a predicament, he was occasionally able to launch a few counterattacks.
Liu Qing's understanding of the "Falling Star Sword" deepened under Liu Hui's pressure, far surpassing the effects he achieved through solo practice. His use of star power also became more proficient, as if his communication with the stars was in harmony, and he made a bit of progress.
In the continuous progress and grinding, Liu Qing's disadvantage has improved, although still at a disadvantage, but there has been a big improvement.
Liu Hui saw that although Liu Qing was still making progress in actual combat, it was no longer the kind of breakthrough progress, and he finally put his mind at ease, starting to play steadily, wanting to use his own strong true energy to crush Liu Qing.
After another meal time, Liu Qing, although having extraordinary intelligence and making progress in actual combat, still couldn't defeat Liu Hui and finally lost narrowly.
At this point, Liu Qing's matches in this martial arts competition were about to end, and the best result he could achieve was to compete for fourth place. Liu Qing had long been mentally prepared and was not discouraged, quietly standing aside waiting for Liu Wei's turn.
Next is Liu Wei, who drew fourth place, choosing his opponent. To everyone's surprise, he chose Liu Bo as his challenger.
Liu Bo made great progress in his skills after yesterday's enlightenment, and he was eager to test the results of his training. Having Liu Wei as a strong opponent to experiment with was exactly what he needed.
This time, Liu Bo no longer needs to carefully feel the gap with a 9th layer Qi Refining stage expert. Through his previous encounters, he already has a clear understanding and recognition of 9th layer Qi Refining stage experts. What he needs now is to bring out his full strength and engage in fierce battles with high-level experts of similar strength, so as to gain more actual combat experience and achieve better tempering effects.
Liu Bo immediately used his "Cloud Drifting Misty" movement technique as soon as he took the stage, while also unleashing a fierce attack with his "Fine Rain Following the Wind Sword".
Liu Bo's first move was "Fine Rain Like Silk", in an instant, he swung out 108 swords, converging into a dense sword net that directly stabbed towards Liu Wei's chest.
"The Rain Like Silk" was originally Liu Bo's most profound sword technique, able to swing out 108 swords in an instant, already at the middle accomplishment boundary of this sword technique, with extremely great power. The sharp and dense sword technique, combined with a nearly top-grade body technique, is like a tiger growing wings, with suddenly increased power.
Liu Wei knew that Liu Bo was not easy to entangle, but he did not expect that with just the first move, he would burst out with such astonishing power. Liu Wei had no choice but to display his most profound defensive swordsmanship, carefully defending himself.
The onlookers only saw Liu Wei struggling desperately in a dense web of swords, dashing left and right, just like a moth that had fallen into the net and could not escape.
Liu Bo utilized his superb footwork in conjunction with his swordsmanship, and although it already seemed extremely formidable to everyone present, he hadn't used the Heaven-Shattering Strike's augmentation after all. As a result, the effect achieved wasn't enough to guarantee a one-hit kill against a high-ranking practitioner of the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining. Even so, when facing Liu Bo's move, Liu Wei's robes suddenly had several more holes in them.
Next, Liu Bo's attacks were continuous and airtight. "Slanting Wind and Fine Rain", "Rain Patters on the Banana Leaves", "Spring Breeze Turns to Rain", "Wind Whisks Away the Rain", "Wind and Rain Sway", "Wind and Rain are Dreary", "Wind and Rain are Not Transparent" were used in succession.
Liu Wei felt like a fallen leaf in the gentle breeze and fine rain, completely surrounded, constantly dancing and drifting, constantly being battered by the rain, with nowhere to hide or escape.
