My Heaven-Defying Spirit

On the second day, Ming Huaishang woke up from his room, packed himself up, and went out. Today was the contest to select disciples.

The venue was the martial arts arena. Because of the fight between Ming Huaishang and Luo Hong yesterday, there was no time to modify it, so some places in the martial arts arena were still bumpy.

At noon, Ming Huaishang stood outside the martial arts arena, and then one after another, figures fell from the sky. They must have come to participate in the disciple selection competition.

A familiar figure also appeared in Ming Huaishang's eyes. It was Luo Hong, who had fought with Ming Huaishang yesterday.

At this moment, he was looking at Ming Huaishang with a smug look on his face, raising his hand and making a gesture of wiping his neck, his eyes full of provocation.

After a while, several figures appeared in the air, one of them was Luo Yuan.

There were several people standing beside Luo Yuan, one of whom was the deputy city lord of Luo City, and the others were city defenders, all of whom had unfathomable strength.

Luo Yuan looked at the martial arts arena below, and after confirming that everyone was present, he spoke

"My fellow heroes, I believe you all know the purpose of holding this written test. Whoever stands out from this written test will become my disciple. I will do my best to guide you through all the difficulties on the path of cultivation, and you will enjoy the highest treatment, including the resources within Luocheng."

This immediately caused an uproar among the people in the audience. To receive guidance from a strong person in the Crossing Sea Realm, one can say that one has a promising future. Moreover, Luo Cheng's strong strength over the years has also supported his cultivation. Everyone present was very excited.

However, the next second Luo Yuan continued

"But before that, I have a statement to make clear to you."

Everyone was stunned, but then they all looked at Luo Yuan curiously.

Luo Yuan slowly said

"After becoming my personal disciple, I will tell you a few conditions. As for now, please show your talents to the fullest, young heroes!"

Everyone in the martial arts arena listened carefully. Some of them were inner disciples from various sects, and some of them had good talents and were invited to

An uproar ensued, and the competition officially began!

The competition was conducted by drawing lots. There were sixty-four people present. Those who drew the matching lots would compete against each other. Finally, thirty-two people would advance, followed by sixteen people. Finally, the quarterfinals would be held, the semifinals would be held, and finally the winner would be decided by the two strongest people.

These people are all geniuses from all over the world. They stare at the wooden sticks in their hands with fiery eyes.

Ming Huaishang also got the wooden stick at this time. He looked at the wooden stick in his hand and was silent for a long time. There was a "one" written on it.

First round

Meng Xueer vs. Bufan!

Ming Huaishang never thought that he would play in the first game.

Luo Hong, who was not far away, gritted his teeth, somewhat annoyed that he did not draw the number one lottery ticket. In yesterday's battle, he and Ming Huaishang had not yet decided the winner.

"The competition arena is limited to the martial arts arena. When the battle begins, a barrier will be automatically generated. Those who leave the barrier or admit defeat will be considered losers, and the other person will successfully advance."

"Contestants please come on stage now!"

An old man standing next to Luo Yuan slowly landed in the air above the martial arts arena and looked at Ming Huaishang and a young-looking ice-snow woman outside the arena.

Ming Huaishang clenched his fists, took a step forward, walked straight to the training ground, and prepared for battle!

At this moment, Luo Yuan, who was watching the battle from below, sneered

"I hope you won't be eliminated so soon, otherwise, I won't be able to deal with you properly!"

Ming Huaishang did not speak, but looked at the opposite side quietly. Then his opponent, the icy woman named Meng Xueer, slowly walked onto the stage.

There was a hint of coldness on her white face. Symmetrically, she was wearing a blue and white dress and holding a long sword. She stood not far away proudly. Then, the aura spread.

"Oh? It's a technique for cultivating ice attributes. The name of this technique seems to be something like Bingluan Chaofeng Jue. It's a pretty good technique."

Luo Yuan's expression was slightly wide, full of smiles.

"This little girl's strength should be in the middle stage of Qi Condensation Realm, right?"

Luo Yuan, who was outside the martial arts arena, asked the deputy city lord beside him:

The deputy city lord nodded respectfully upon hearing this.

They all know the backgrounds of those who came to participate in the disciple selection competition, and they have all been thoroughly investigated.

When he saw the girl's aura spreading, Ming Huaishang was not to be outdone. He took a step forward, and then his aura became as powerful as a rainbow. His whole body was agitated with green light, and his Qigong technique was also unfolded.

Meng Xueer, who was not far away, was slightly startled. She looked at Ming Huaishang with a strange look in her eyes, and then she said in a cold tone:

"You are only at the middle stage of the Body Tempering Realm?"

Ming Huaishang nodded and responded to Meng Xueer's response.

"In that case, you should step down. I don't want to hurt anyone. With your strength, you are not my opponent."

Meng Xueer's tone was still as cold as an ice sculpture, with an expression that no one should get close to her. She said to Ming Huaishang in a calm tone:

Ming Huaishang was stunned for a moment, then waved his hands helplessly. He thought that with his strength in the middle stage of the Body Tempering Realm, the girl would naturally not regard him as an opponent.

However, Ming Huaishang thought that this girl was not as cold as she looked. At least she was still worried that he would step down because his realm was too low and he was afraid of hurting himself.

But what is Ming Huaishang's purpose in coming here? Not for fame or profit, he came here just to gain some experience. If he steps down now, wouldn't it be a waste of time?

Moreover, Ming Huaishang was still somewhat tempted by the top cultivation resources in Naluo City.

Ming Huaishang smiled bitterly

“I’m sorry, but I may not be able to promise you this.”

Meng Xueer, who was not far away, heard this and her expression changed slightly, but she regained her composure after a moment. She said calmly:

"In that case, I will take action!"

She slowly raised her jade hand, pointed her sword, and it was covered with a layer of light mist, which then condensed into ice.

She was limiting her ability to attack in order to avoid causing serious casualties. This was a sign of her extreme confidence in her own abilities, and also a sign of her arrogance.

The long sword cut through the air. Meng Xueer's sword hit the target. Although the sword was covered with frost by the girl and its sharpness was greatly reduced, when the sword light came in front of Ming Huaishang, he couldn't help but feel stunned.

The frost on the sword was like another sharp sword. As the girl's fierce attack continued, several residual sword shadows were stabbed out, blocking all of Ming Huaishang's escape routes.

The sword stabbed out, Ming Huaishang was not in a hurry, but smiled faintly

"Are you trying to block my escape route and force me to exit the barrier by myself?"

Facing several sword shadows attacking, Ming Huaishang used the Qigong technique to increase his physical strength to the extreme. Now, with only Meng Xueer in the middle stage of Qi Condensation Realm, and not a full-strength attack, he could easily dissolve her physical strength.

As expected, the next second, Ming Huaishang's body collided with the sword shadow, and the sword shadow disappeared instantly, while Ming Huaishang was still standing there intact.
