Chapter 160 Double Act
Chapter 160 Double Act
Don't panic, I need to stay calm, so that I can shock them.
Yun Qingqing was panicking inside, but her face remained as cold as ice, displaying the demeanor of a master to the fullest.
Yun Qingqing was pretending on the stage, while Lin Fuping was secretly observing everyone with his spiritual sense below.
This was Lin Fuping's first step, to establish the image of Yun Qingqing as someone who was very strong and difficult to mess with.
If no one comes up to challenge, Yun Qingqing will be able to pass it smoothly.
If anyone wants a challenge...
In Lin Fuping's consciousness, there were two people eager to try. At the moment they were about to speak, Lin Fuping's voice with a crying tone rang out.
"Sister, sister, it's so scary here, can we leave quickly?"
Lin Fuping's face was pale, tears welled up in his eyes. He moved cautiously and slowly approached the arena. As he approached, he looked timidly at the monk who had a ferocious aura beside him.
When he was only ten steps away from Yun Qingqing, he started running. Then he flew onto the stage and threw himself into Yun Qingqing's arms. He buried his head in them and refused to come out.
Yun Qingqing patted Lin Fuping's back gently, and the frost on her face melted away.
"Okay, okay, Xiaobai, don't be afraid, sister will be fine soon."
Yun Qingqing looked down at the audience
"Since no one is willing to come up, I will show off my ugliness."
After he finished speaking, Yun Qingqing picked up the sword and performed a move according to what Lin Fuping had taught him, which looked quite powerful.
But if there were a sword cultivator here, he would definitely see that this is just a mere decoration without substance.
However, there were no sword cultivators here, and Lin Fuping dared to do this because of this.
When Yun Qingqing drew her sword, Lin Fuping also released her sword intent without reservation. Because the two of them were hugging each other, and because of Lin Fuping's spiritual awareness, the others did not notice anything was wrong.
Everyone thought that the majestic sword intent erupted from Yun Qingqing, and that she also skillfully protected Lin Fuping in her arms.
A sword fell, shining like stars, it was a falling star rain. When the starlight faded, the arena under their feet turned into ashes except for the place where the two people stood.
The whole place was silent. Lu Yuan, who had been drinking in the dark, also appeared in front of everyone. He looked at the arena that had turned to ashes without saying a word.
"If you are confident that you can take Lin's sword, you can come forward. If not, I don't know if I can pass it, so leave first."
Lu Yuan spoke
"Fellow Daoist, you are very skilled. Your swordsmanship is not inferior to that of the Sword Sect disciples."
"Senior, you are too kind. Compared with the disciples of the Sword Sect, I am still far behind."
Yun Qingqing said this sincerely, but in Lu Yuan's eyes, it was just modesty. However, it also made him sure that the person in front of him was not a disciple of the Sword Sect.
After all, the sword cultivators of the Sword Sect are very poor, so how could they have the confidence to take out a thousand spirit stones for gambling?
"Luo Xi, please take note of your name. It is a great honor for us to have your help on this journey."
Then he turned to look at the others
"Do you have any opinions?"
Everyone shook their heads
"No, no. This fellow Daoist Lin is very powerful, and we are not as strong as him."
After all, that arena had been destroyed by countless cultivators, and it was barely damaged, let alone reduced to ashes.
They don't have the confidence that their bodies are tougher than the ring.
"Since there is none, Luo Xi, please register for Fellow Daoist Lin!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan flashed away again and disappeared from everyone's sight.
But in Lin Fuping's consciousness, he ran back to his original position to drink.
Luo Xi asked Yun Qingqing's name with a smile on his face. Yun Qingqing changed his name to Lin Qing, and Lin Fuping became Lin Bai.
Luo Xi handed Yun Qingqing a token engraved with a green kite, and told her to come to the City Lord's Mansion one day before departure to learn the specific itinerary, and then gave her three thousand spirit stones as a deposit.
"To be honest, only Fellow Daoist Lin would allow Lord Lu to make an exception. The deposit for others is only one thousand spirit stones."
Luo Xi sent a message to Yun Qingqing, which was considered a good thing for her.
Yun Qingqing nodded to Luo Xi, then folded her arms and bowed in the direction of Lu Yuan.
"Thank you, senior. I will take my leave first."
When the two returned to the inn, Yun Qingqing looked at Lin Fuping.
"Duckweed, are you really okay?"
Lin Fuping grinned at her
"It's really okay. Look, I'm fine."
No wonder!
It hurts so much!
Yun Qingqing certainly had no sword intent. At the beginning, both her sword intent and the sword intent that split the stone were emitted by Lin Fuping.
Sword intent is something that sword practitioners gain through practice. It is stored in the body and its power is released through the sword when used.
Of course, some people who have achieved success in kendo are no longer limited to swords. Every flower and every blade of grass can be used as a medium to release sword intent.
Even his own master had long since achieved the state of having no sword in his hand but a sword in his heart, to the point where his fingertips could act as swords.
Of course, Lin Fuping didn’t have such a deep understanding now, she was completely forcing the release of the sword intent.
Forcibly releasing the sword intent would hurt yourself by a thousand and injure the enemy by eight hundred.
Forcibly releasing the sword intent from the tendons and veins will only cause damage to the tendons and veins, and in severe cases it may even cause the tendons and veins to rupture.
Lin Fuping dared to do so because she relied on her tendons that had been trained to a small degree, her passive long song that automatically recovered, and Si Wuxie and Wangyouqu, which she had learned to perform hidden healing skills after being taught by Jiang Tai.
Of course, even if the injury is healed, the pain will still persist.
When I was acting, my face was pale and the tears in my eyes were not completely fake.
As for what happened later, Lin Fuping used the Falling Star Rain to block his vision and consciousness, and then destroyed the arena with his sword.
At that time, everyone's eyes were on Yun Qingqing, so no one noticed Lin Fuping's behind-the-scenes operation.
At most, people would think that she is a girl who has been spoiled too much and is timid and cowardly.
"Okay, now we just have to wait seven days and go to the City Lord's Mansion.
If you pass the test, there shouldn't be any problem with the rest. But you must remember that you are now a cold-blooded sword cultivator, not a sound cultivator."
Yun Qingqing nodded
"Don't worry, if it comes to just superficial work, I'm confident that I'm no worse than others."
Lin Fuping believes this very much.
"Help me protect the law, I want to make a small breakthrough."
Lin Fuping felt that since Nanyuan City had spent so much money to hire someone this time, it should not be the usual way.
Because she had inquired a little in the guild yesterday, and found that in the past, they had recruited people at the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stage. But this time, they didn't want Golden Core, and even wanted to recruit people at the Spiritualization stage.
In the past, the rewards for Golden Elixir ranged from several hundred spirit stones, and for Nascent Soul it ranged from three thousand to five thousand spirit stones. It was rare for a Nascent Soul to receive a reward of ten thousand spirit stones.
And it stands to reason that after passing the assessment, the itinerary should be disclosed to the cultivators, but this time the City Lord's Mansion only let people go the day before departure, and even gave a deposit. There was no such thing as a deposit in the past.
All these things made Lin Fuping feel that spirit stones were difficult to obtain.
It's really true that money is hard to earn and shit is hard to eat.
So Lin Fuping decided not to save experience to upgrade Forget-Me-Not, but to strengthen his own strength now.
After all, every time a skill is upgraded, there will be spiritual power feedback.
