Chapter 258 The Election is Over
Lu Yuguan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I have my own way."
Li Chonglin wanted to ask more questions, but the examiner had already announced the rules of the examination.
In this actual combat assessment, the monks will fight against each other in pairs, the winner will advance and the loser will be eliminated.
In the end, only the cultivators with the most outstanding performance can enter the inner gate of Xuanyu Sect.
Lu Yuguan was assigned to the first group. His opponent was a burly man who was in the middle stage of foundation building.
Seeing Lu Yuguan's thin figure, the strong man's eyes flashed with contempt, and he sneered: "Boy, you'd better admit defeat, so as not to get hurt later."
Lu Yuguan smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your concern, but I still want to give it a try."
The sturdy man snorted coldly, said no more, and punched Lu Yuguan directly.
His punches were fierce and wrapped with fire-attributed spiritual power, and it was obvious that he was practicing the tough and fierce way.
However, just when he was about to hit Lu Yuguan, for some reason, he couldn't push his fist down.
"what happened?"
The sturdy man was stunned. Before he could react, he felt a powerful force coming from the front of him. He was knocked away and fell heavily outside the ring.
The whole place was silent, and everyone was staring at the scene in amazement.
Lu Yuguan still stood there, looking calm, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with him.
The examiner was also stunned. After a while, he came to his senses and announced, "Lu Yuguan wins!"
The whole place was in an uproar!
The monks were whispering to each other, guessing Lu Yuguan's true strength.
It's incredible that he can easily defeat an opponent in the middle stage of foundation building even though he has no cultivation!
The elders of Xuanyu Sect were also discussing in low voices.
Lu Yuguan's performance confused them.
The spiritual power of the Guiyi Realm is extremely rare. Conventional spiritual power masters mostly display their talents in the ways of alchemy and are not good at hand-to-hand combat.
And this Lu Yuguan was able to defeat his opponent without even revealing his cultivation and spiritual power.
"This boy's strength is probably far more than what we have seen."
An elder whispered.
"Indeed, he clearly has no cultivation, yet he was able to easily defeat an opponent in the middle stage of foundation building. This is definitely not an ordinary method."
Another elder echoed.
"Regular mental power doesn't seem to have such a strong offensive power. Could it be that he has mastered some kind of soul technique?"
The white-haired old man pondered.
"Soul magic?"
The elders were horrified.
"You mean the soul technique that uses mental power as a means of attack?"
"That's right," the white-haired old man said with narrowed eyes, "You can easily repel the enemy without any action. Apart from soul magic, I can't think of any other possibility!"
Next to the ring.
Lu Yuguan walked to Li Chonglin with light steps.
"What happened just now? You were able to knock it away without even releasing your spiritual power. How did you do that?"
Li Chonglin couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
Lu Yuguan's eyes were cunning: "Pay another five thousand taels, and I'll tell you!"
Li Chonglin: “…”
[Host, the soul technique you just performed has already consumed 30% of your mental energy.]
[The furnace can't repair mental power as quickly as spiritual power.]
【For the next move, please take it easy】
The system prompted.
"Don't worry, I was just pretending to be cool. I won't go too far next time."
Lu Yuguan said.
[Ding! Detected host swearing]
[Deduct one point of civilization value]
Lu Yuguan: ...
OK OK.
It's a really good and impartial system.
"Hey, Tong-chan! It's a rare opportunity to come across such a grand occasion, so please don't do something that spoils the fun!"
Lu Yuguan said secretly.
[That won't work. This system is available 24 hours a day, days a year. Please call me Tong Qingtian!]
The system said proudly.
Lu Yuguan: It makes you look good.
In fact, if he had not learned the middle chapter of the Solar Terms Records at the last minute, he really would not have been able to cope with the founding election.
[External Kung Fu | Solar Terms, Part Two (Summer Fire, Yang)]
[Introduction: The user perceives mental power, condenses mental yang energy, and manipulates mental fire to defend against enemies.]
【Consumption:∞ Mental Power】
Xia Huo Li Yang is a soul technique controlled by mental power.
During the days he was in seclusion, in addition to becoming familiar with how to use Xia Huo Li Yang, he also broke through his mental power realm to the Guiyi realm.
Just now, in order to fight against the strong man, Lu Yuguan turned the invisible fire into a barrier to block the strong man's actions.
However, the consumption of mental energy is really great. Just one move consumes 30% of it. After the election is over, I'm afraid I will have to practice the Six Minds Divine Art more.
In the next few rounds of assessments, Lu Yuguan relied on Xia Huo Li Yang to cleverly defeat his opponents every time.
Although every use of soul magic consumed a huge amount of his mental energy, he remained calm and responded smoothly, winning every battle decisively, which made everyone more curious about his strength.
Li Chonglin also easily advanced in the assessment thanks to his top-grade golden spiritual roots and high-level foundation-building cultivation.
"Yuguan...what exactly did he go through?"
Li Chonglin said worriedly.
He marveled at Lu Yuguan's mysterious methods, but was also worried about whether Lu Yuguan could hold on to the end.
As the competition progresses, fewer and fewer monks enter the actual combat assessment, and the competition becomes more and more fierce.
After defeating his opponent again, Lu Yuguan had very little mental strength left and his face turned pale.
"Third brother!"
"President!"
Everyone came forward and tried to support him.
However, Lu Yuguan was still reluctant and declined, saying, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Jinjiao observed Lu Yuguan's state and was shocked. "You've only just reached the Guiyi Realm, and you're already thinking of relying on mental strength to win?"
"You must know that unless soul arts are practiced to the extreme, the loss of mental power will ultimately be greater than spiritual power at the same level."
Lu Yuguan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Jinjiao's words were not wrong. He himself had also realized that the higher the frequency of the soul technique, the more likely the body would become tired.
But at this point, there is no turning back, and we can only grit our teeth and persevere.
Lu Yuguan knew clearly that the Xuanyu Sect election was of great significance and that he could not give up at any cost.
An hour later, all the monks finished their fight.
Lu Yuguan and Li Chonglin naturally passed the assessment, and Bai Ming followed closely behind and became an outer disciple of the Xuanyu Sect.
As for Miao'er, she was lucky enough to defeat her opponent and stepped into the gate of Xuanyu Sect.
Li Ping watched the battle quietly, and his expression did not change even when Lu Yuguan displayed his mental power.
"Your Majesty, Longhua Country is truly full of talented people this year."
Xiao Wan said with a smile.
"It seems that God really blesses Longhua," Li Ping said calmly, "I will leave these disciples in the hands of Master Xiao. I hope they will not cause trouble in Xuanyu Sect."
"Haha, no, no, I will educate them well, and when they return after completing their studies, they will serve the Longhua Nation."
Xiao Wan said.
"return?"
Li Ping sneered, "Except for the disciples expelled from the Xuanyu Sect, who would want to leave the sect and return to the mortal world?"
Xiao Wan said angrily, "That's wrong. There are many cultivators in this world who are nostalgic."
Li Ping looked at the place where heaven and earth met, and slowly said, "Master Xiao, the founding election has ended, and it won't be long before we return to the sect. Would you be so kind as to come into the palace and have a chat?"
Xiao Wan was slightly startled, then he bowed and smiled, "Your Majesty, I dare not refuse your kind invitation!"
