Chapter 70

Luo Xiaoyi's long hair danced in the air as she sliced through it with her fingers like a knife, creating a sharp cutting wind sound as she aimed for Xiao Ran's neck with incredible agility!

Xiao Ran moved like a ghost, dodging the hand knife and pointing at Luo Xiaoyi's waist.

The point of contact sounded like hitting metal, producing a buzzing tremor!

Luo Xiaoyi retreated dejectedly, saying somewhat unwillingly, "I still lost to you. I felt I had improved a lot!"

To be honest, are you still holding back?"

Xiao Ran shook his head and said, "To reach the sixth level of the Fossil God Skill in half a month, you should be satisfied!

I used about seven or eight tenths of my strength!"

Luo Xiaoyi said somewhat proudly, "My Mingyu Skill is also at the sixth level, but to break through to the seventh level, I need to reach the third level of qi cultivation!"

Her expression was as if she was saying, "Praise me, praise me!"

If Murong Jiu and Yao Yue knew that Luo Xiaoyi had cultivated the Fossil God Skill and Mingyu Skill to this level in half a month, they would be furious!

Xiao Ran had obtained many martial arts techniques, and the cultivation conditions for the Mingyu Skill and Fossil God Skill were very strict. While other issues could be resolved, the fact that only women could practice them left Xiao Ran with no choice!

He got along very well with Luo Xiaoyi, so he taught her these two skills and the Yihua Jieyu technique.

Luo Xiaoyi had previously only learned seventh- or eighth-rate internal skills, so suddenly obtaining two third-rate internal skills made her feel like she had found a treasure.

With her exceptional talent and solid strength, she progressed smoothly, reaching this level without much difficulty!

Xiao Ran reached out and rubbed Luo Xiaoyi's hair, saying, "You are indeed a genius!

You will definitely enter the Golden Light Sect. If someone like you can't enter, then no one can!"

Luo Xiaoyi angrily shook off Xiao Ran's hand, saying, "Don't mess up my hair!

The competition is about to start, let's go!"

The semi-finals of the Golden Sword Competition were held in the city's arena!

The human martial arts culture is extremely strong, and every town has an official arena!

The arena in Golden Light City is somewhat like an ancient Roman coliseum, about the size of four football fields, and is made entirely of steel rock, which is extremely durable, but still needs to be repaired every seven or eight days, at a considerable cost!

Therefore, every time someone comes here to fight, they have to pay a substantial fee!

But even so, the arena's business is still very good because it is an official place that can ensure the fairness of the fight to the greatest extent!

The weather was extremely good today, with a clear blue sky.

The stands were packed with people. The human martial arts culture is extremely strong, so there are always spectators for such large-scale martial arts events!

On the main stage, the two judges for this semi-final were sitting: the city lord of Golden Light City, Du Tianxie, and the inner gate elite of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, Feng Wanqiu!

Du Tianxie looked to be in his thirties, extremely handsome, with very soft facial features and a pair of phoenix eyes. If you didn't look closely, it was easy to mistake him for an intellectual big sister!

But whether it was his identity as a seventh-level qi cultivator or his position as the city lord of Golden Light City, he exuded an indescribable aura that made people dare not underestimate him!

Feng Wanqiu was still wearing red, and next to her was Du Tianxie's sister, Du Tiantian.

Du Tiantian and Feng Wanqiu were from the same sect, and this time she invited Feng Wanqiu to visit Golden Light City!

Below them were the heads of various martial arts schools and the leaders of the major families in the city!

These school heads were all fifth-level qi cultivators, as one needed at least fifth-level cultivation to open a school and be authorized by the government!

At such a martial arts conference, whether it was the heads of martial arts schools or the leaders of major families, they were all invited guests!

Wang Xiaofeng, Xiao Dabao's wife, was sitting in the front row of the stands!

With their economic strength and status, it took a lot of effort to sit in this position!

Someone reported the time to Du Tianxie, who nodded, stood up, and said, "Welcome to the third Golden Sword Competition!

In the three years I have been in Golden Light City, I have organized three martial arts competitions to promote the martial spirit of our human race!"

His voice was not particularly loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone present!

His gaze fell on the contestants, who all felt a burning sensation on their faces!

Then Du Tianxie continued, "In the past three years, six disciples have been recommended to the Golden Light Sect through my hands, and three have successfully joined the Golden Light Sect!

Their present is your future!

Ladies and gentlemen, it is time to show your true strength!

I hereby declare that the third Golden Sword Competition begins!"

After speaking, he raised his hand to the sky, and a dazzling fist force shot out, rising to the sky, and then burst like fireworks, looking extremely beautiful!

This was the signal to announce the start of the competition!

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Zhengyang flew down from the main stage, a pair of blue-green qi wings sprouting from his back. With a light flap, he landed on the stage!

Jin Zhengyang retracted his wings and bowed to the crowd, saying, "Today, I will be hosting the Golden Sword Competition!

The rules of the competition are the same as the preliminary round. Only the weapons provided by the competition can be used!

During the competition, life and death are not considered, the one who cannot stand loses, the one who surrenders loses, and the one who is forced off the stage also loses!

You cannot attack someone who has fallen, surrendered, or left the stage!

The competition now begins. The first match is between Lu Tianshan and Luo Xiaoyi!

Lu Changfeng is the seventh son of the head of the Tianshan Martial Arts School. At a young age, he has already reached the second level of qi cultivation and has a small reputation in the city, known as the 'Hand of如意' (Note: '如意' can be translated as 'Wishful' or 'As Desired'), with excellent hand skills!

Luo Xiaoyi is a dark horse in this competition, practicing a family-secret technique and excelling in the White Bird Holy Fist. At just fifteen years old, she has reached the peak of the second level of qi cultivation, and should not be underestimated."

In fact, the opponents for the competition were carefully selected by Jin Zhengyang!

Both Lu Tianshan and Luo Xiaoyi are peak second-level qi cultivators, both skilled in hand techniques. One is somewhat famous, and the other is a dark horse. Their match is expected to be quite exciting!

Starting with them will definitely attract the audience's attention!

Xiao Ran looked at Luo Xiaoyi and said, "Be careful!"

Luo Xiaoyi smiled lightly and walked onto the stage, and Lu Tianshan also approached her.

Lu Tianshan was about the same height as Xiao Ran, a head taller than Luo Xiaoyi, and although he looked ordinary, he had a certain presence.

He said to Luo Xiaoyi, "I didn't expect our first match to be against each other. I thought Xiao Ran would be the first one, a bit surprising!"

Luo Xiaoyi replied, "Xiao Ran defeated two third-level qi cultivators, so he definitely has the strength of a third-level qi cultivator. The highlight of the first round will definitely be his match against Sikong Yuehua!

If I were the host, I would arrange it this way too!"

Lu Tianshan was slightly taken aback, then said, "Indeed, that should be the case!

I didn't expect Miss Luo to not only have exceptional talent but also a profound understanding of the world!

Miss Luo, please!"

Lu Tianshan, being older and more famous, would not make the first move!

Luo Xiaoyi's expression remained unchanged, and her body suddenly glided like a white bird, lunging at Lu Tianshan. Her right hand was raised high, like a wing, and she attacked Lu Tianshan!

This was the "Wing Soaring in the Sky" move from the White Bird Holy Fist!

As soon as she struck, a light gasp of surprise echoed from the main stage.

The experts on the main stage immediately recognized that Luo Xiaoyi's move was extraordinary, and the seemingly ordinary White Bird Holy Fist had taken on a new charm in her hands!
