Chu Jun lowered his head and thought about what had just happened. He almost collided with Ning Yun, who was walking towards him in a fierce manner. Fortunately, he stopped in time. "It's you!" Ning Yun cursed.
Chu Jun helplessly grinned, "I'm sorry, Senior Sister Ning!"
Ning Yun curled his lips with a straight face, "Humph, big fool!" After saying that, he raised his face and twisted his little butt as he walked away.
Chu Jun rubbed his face in confusion and muttered, "Virtue, I've provoked you!"
"Pu!" A chuckle sounded. Chu Jun turned around and saw Zhao Yuting standing three zhang away, her bright eyes filled with kindness as she looked at him with a smile. Ruan Fang , who was standing beside her, had an unfriendly expression on his face.
Chu Jun hurriedly cupped his hands and said, " Senior Sister Zhao , Senior Brother Ruan !"
Zhao Yu smiled warmly. She was like a spring flower blooming in a tree. Her misty eyes were glittering with water, making people not dare to look at her. Ruan Fang 's white clothes were like snow, and the two of them stood together like a pair of jades.
" Chu Jun , because Eldest Senior Brother didn't come back to participate in the competition, Junior Sister Ning is angry. She doesn't like anyone. Don't be like her!" Zhao Yu smiled gently. Ruan Fang couldn't help but frown. It was hard for him to understand why Zhao Yu was so respectful to a body cultivator.
Chu Jun shook his head and said, "It's just a small matter, I won't take it to heart!"
"Some people take themselves too seriously!" Ruan Fang said with a strange tone.
Chu Jun couldn't help but frown. This fellow was truly annoying. Zhao Yudai frowned and said, " Senior Brother Ruan , can you stop interrupting?"
Ruan Fang jun's face was slightly embarrassed, and his heart was filled with anger. He thought to himself, "Junior Sister Zhao actually snatched my confession for this country bumpkin's physique cultivator. This is truly outrageous!"
Zhao Yu looked at Chu Jun apologetically and smiled, "Chu Jun, you signed up for the Martial Arts Convention, didn't you?"
When Chu Jun saw that the surnamed Ruan was shriveled, his heart was filled with joy. He nodded and said, "Exactly!"
" Chu Jun , don't say that I underestimated you. With your strength, I'm afraid you won't even be able to pass the first round!" Ruan Fang said indifferently.
Chu Jun smiled with a relaxed expression, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I don't care about ranking. It's good to train myself!"
Zhao Yu praised, " Chu Jun , your mentality is very good!"
"That's right," Ruan Fang said indifferently. "Since you don't have the strength, why don't you open up a little and aim to participate?"
" Senior Sister Zhao , Senior Brother Ruan , I still have matters to attend to. Goodbye!" Chu Jun cupped his hands and quickly left.
Zhao Yu angrily glared at Ruan Fang and said, "What are you doing? Chu Jun has offended you. Why are you always targeting him?"
Ruan Fang hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm just discussing the matter. A small physique cultivator, why should Junior Sister treat him so politely!"
"This little body cultivator saved my life!" Zhao Yu indifferently threw down a sentence and walked away with a tense face.
Ruan Fang was stunned for a moment. A wisp of anger flashed in his eyes. He was about to catch up when he saw Niu Pang and the others walk out of the Yao Wu Palace. He couldn't help but roll his eyes and set his mind on it.
… dividing line
The annual Martial Arts Convention of the Zhengtian Sect had begun. The prize for the first place of the inner sect disciples was the same as last year. It was a second-grade beginner-level magic treasure. The first prize for outer sect disciples was 10,000 spirit beans, plus a Bear King Pill. The outer sect disciples were boiling. The Bear King Pill could strengthen the body, strengthen the waist, and strengthen the kidneys, increasing the strength of the body cultivator by 5%. It was worth 3,000 spirit beans.
The martial arena was divided into two areas, with the inner and outer disciples competing separately. The way to compete was through elimination, two-on-two battles, and the winner advanced. Hundreds of outer sect disciples signed up and were divided into ten groups, with the first place in each group entering the top ten. The number of inner sect disciples participating in the competition was obviously much smaller, less than 50.
The noisy venue suddenly quieted down. Everyone's gaze was directed towards the peak of Thunder Yin Mountain. The two of them floated over from the top of the mountain on their flying swords. In the blink of an eye, they arrived above the Yao Wu Palace. The sky wind blew them to the point that their clothes were hunting, as if they were an immortal from the outside world. Chu Jun was both shocked and envious. Indeed, someone was able to fly with a sword.
The two middle-aged cultivators retracted their swords and landed on the ground. They sat down in the main seat on the grandstand. The one on the left had a round face, and his face was flushed red. He looked like a Buddha with a smiling face. The one on the right had a long face, and his gaze was stern. He did not dare to laugh. The round-faced Qu Zhengfeng and the long-faced Liu Su were both the upper echelons of the Zhengtian Sect. Clearly, the two of them were the hosts of today's Martial Arts Convention.
"Hehe, that brat Shangguan Yu is not here. This year's number one in the inner sect is none other than that girl Zhao Yu!" Qu Zhengfeng chuckled.
Liu Su expressionlessly said, "I don't think so!"
Qu Zhengfeng 's eyes turned, "Second Senior Brother, do you dare to bet?"
Liu Su glared at Qu Zhengfeng , "Gamble on what?"
Qu Zhengfeng chuckled and said, "If Zhao Yu wins the first place in the inner sect, I will choose the new disciples for the Spirit Trials first!"
Liu Su 's old face immediately darkened. Qu Zhengfeng hurriedly said, "On the contrary, you pick first. You should know that Ruan Fang and Lin Ping are not weaker than that girl Zhao Yu. Your chances of winning are very high!"
Liu Su snorted coldly, "Gamble!"
"It's a deal. You can't go back on your word!" Qu Zhengfeng said with pride in his heart, " Ruan Fang , Lin Ping and Zhao Yu are on par, but will these two brats do their best against Zhao Yu? Hehe …!"
At this time, the duel between the two sides of the stage had already begun. Chu Jun was assigned to the tenth group of the outer sect. He happened to be in the same group as Niu Pang , and the first opponent was Niu Pang . This was clearly arranged deliberately.
"Anyway, it's not our turn. Why don't we go to the outer sect and watch the outer sect disciples compete?" Ruan Fang smiled and suggested to the people beside him.
The red-clothed girl Ning Yun curled her lips and said, "What's so good about those body cultivators? Isn't it more brute force?"
"Isn't that Chu Jun? His opponent is actually Niu Pang . This fellow has the strength of a Fourth Grade Physique Cultivator. Looks like Chu Jun is in danger!" Lin Pingruo looked at Ruan Fang meaningfully and pointed at him.
Everyone looked over and Ning Yun exclaimed, "It really is him!"
Zhao Yu nodded and said, "Go take a look!" As he spoke, he walked over.
Zhao Yu, Lin Ping, Ruan Fang , and the others were the focal points. They actually ran to the outer sect disciples to watch the battle, causing a small commotion. Many people also surrounded them. Even Qu Zhengfeng and Liu Su , who were on the stands, turned their gazes to this side.
Niu Pang saw so many people gathered around him, and the attention of the two people in the stands was drawn over. He couldn't help but be so excited that his cheeks were filled with blood. This was obviously a good opportunity to become famous. Chu Jun swept his gaze across the crowd and saw a few familiar figures on the sidelines.
Without a doubt, the instinct to follow the wind and read gossip was buried deep in human genes. When a group of people were watching, more people immediately joined the crowd. At this moment, the arena where Chu Jun and Niu Pang fought was filled with people, but there were very few spectators in the other arenas, forming a huge contrast. The attention Chu Jun and Niu Pang paid to this duel exceeded that of the inner sect disciples. It was truly unimaginable.
With a smile on his face, Ruan Fang looked at Zhao Yu meaningfully and asked, "Who do you think will win?"
"Needless to say, it's naturally Niu Pang !" Ning Yun curled his lips and said, "The difference in strength between the two of them is too great. Chu Jun will definitely lose!"
"That's not necessarily the case. If Chu Jun can use a stone to injure a Second Grade Fire Ape King, there must be something about him that surpasses others!" Lin Ping said indifferently.
Ruan Fang snorted coldly, "That's just a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse. I don't think he has any real ability!"
Zhao Yu calmly looked at the two people confronting each other. Her temperament was gentle, but it did not mean that she was an idiot. On the contrary, she was very smart. This battle was clearly arranged by Ruan Fang, and he even purposely proposed to watch it. The purpose was to see Chu Jun being eliminated in the first round in a sorry state. Zhao Yu's only good impression of Ruan Fang instantly vanished. When a person's heart was narrow to this extent, no matter how high his appearance was, he would still be reduced to a low grade.
"Hehe, Chu Jun , the path of enmity is really narrow. I didn't expect that we would meet in the first match. Could it be the will of heaven?" Niu Pang squeezed his fingerbones to the point of cracking a trumpet as he smiled mockingly.
Chu Jun sensed a trace of killing intent hidden in Niu Pang 's eyes and said indifferently, "Heaven's Will will make you lose all your teeth today!"
Niu Pang was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He smiled sinisterly and said, "I hope your bones have a hard mouth!" As he spoke, he waved the wooden sword in his hand and let out a howling sound of wind.
The battle hadn't even begun yet, and the smell of gunpowder between the two's words was already full. The audience couldn't help but be excited. It seemed that they were going to see a big hit today.
Chu Jun gripped the wooden sword in his hand tightly and said coldly, "Whether the bones are hard or not, just come up and give it a try!"
Niu Pang shouted and rushed forward one after another, hacking towards Chu Jun's neck with a wooden sword cry. The sword wind howled, and its momentum was extremely heavy. Although it was a wooden sword, even a horse's neck would probably have to be broken when it was sliced out by a fourth-grade body cultivator. Chu Jun actually didn't dodge and didn't dodge. The wooden sword in his hand swung out to welcome him.
Chu Jun 's move was obviously using eggs to strike stones, and cries of alarm rang out from all around. Some people even turned their heads and didn't dare to look. Niu Pang's face revealed a sinister smile as he thought to himself, "You overestimated yourself and actually dared to face off head-on. Since you want to die, I will grant you!" Niu Pang seemed to have already seen Chu Jun 's sword cut off and his head landing on the ground.
Pa! With a crisp sound, the sinister smile on Niu Pang 's face froze before he could put it away. The wooden sword in his hand actually broke into two at the instant it touched. Before he could react, a gust of strong wind pounced on him, and Chu Jun 's sword had already fiercely slapped his cheek.
Niu Pang's entire body was twisted a few times and fell to the ground with a thud. Immediately after, there was a clanging sound, and more than a dozen bloody teeth scattered all around. Niu Pang struggled to get up and fell again, spitting out a mouthful of blood mixed with broken teeth.
The entire arena was so quiet that the needles could be heard. This completely opposite result made their brains unable to react. The red-clothed girl, Ning Yun , was dumbfounded. Zhao Yu's mouth opened slightly. The snack's expression was exceptionally moving. She had already pressed her hand on the hilt of the sword and was planning to save Chu Jun. Unexpectedly, it was Chu Jun who cut off Niu Pang 's sword and even pulled out a mouthful of his teeth.
Chu Jun walked to Niu Pang with the wooden sword in his hand. The latter's eyes moved back in fear, and his mouth wailed. Even his dislocated mouth could not close, and blood continued to spill out. Chu Jun said indifferently, "Heaven's Will made you lose all your teeth today. Do you believe it now?" After saying that, he tossed away the wooden sword in his hand and walked out of the arena. The onlookers made way in awe.
"How … how did he do it? How is this possible!" Ning Yun 's big eyes widened in disbelief.
Zhao Yu gently swept the hair on her forehead and said indifferently, "Let's go. It's almost our turn over there!" After saying that, he gently moved his lotus step and returned to the inner sect disciples' side.
Ruan Fang 's expression was gloomy as he glanced at Niu Pang , who was still lying on the ground and could not get up. He cursed inwardly, "Useless trash!"
