Evergreen Immortal

After exhaling all the air, his chest was empty, and he could clearly feel a breath rising from his chest.

It circulated around his body over and over again.

Thirty-six times.

This was thirty-six cycles.

As he absorbed the new air, he clearly felt the heat on his feet, and he grasped the long sword beside him without hesitation.

Boom!

One knife, two knives, gradually, Li Rui's forehead was sweating, and his clothes were wet, but his face was extremely calm, he didn't feel tired at all, and he didn't even breathe. He just felt that the air flowing around his body was getting hotter and hotter, and finally it was as hot as a flame.

Bang!

At a certain moment, Li Rui slashed with a knife, and the wooden table ten steps away collapsed.

Sword Qi!

Li Rui's eyes were shining.

An extremely slight but extremely sharp airflow circulated in his body again and again.

This time, he broke through the eighth level, and he accidentally practiced sword Qi, which was something that only martial arts masters above the seventh level could comprehend.

The sword energy penetrates the body!

He actually realized it when he just stepped into the eighth grade.

The peerless genius is no more than this.

Perhaps it is because he once felt the true meaning of a ray of mysterious and pure energy, which is why he can master the sword energy in advance.

Although he was soaked and smelled of sweat, Li Rui's eyes were clearer than ever before. Even though it was recorded in the book, it was written by others after all, and it was far better to experience it personally.

Enjoyable!

At this time, the blood flowed through the limbs and bones, and the bones were washed again and again to remove the impurities. The texture became harder and harder over time, and then it could reach the terrifying level of receiving weapons with bare hands.

Not only that, his strength and speed also doubled.

The combat power increased greatly!

"No wonder there are so many martial arts fanatics in the world, this feeling is really great!"

It has been a long time since I felt so excited. Li Rui felt that his mentality was much younger, and he almost couldn't help the urge to roar to the sky.

However, he did not become complacent and unrestrained because of this.

The eighth rank is just an admission ticket to the Qinghe high-level.

A martial artist like Wu Tu who has entered the rank can only be regarded as a high-level thug. In a force like the Tiandi League, he is just a wage earner. Even if he is invited by the wealthy families like the Zhu family to guard the house, he is still making money for others.

But after breaking through the Tonggu realm, the situation is very different.

For example, the masters of the martial arts halls in the city, as well as the leaders of the Chai Gang and the Yu Gang are all in this realm.

Only those above the eighth rank in the Tiandi League are qualified to compete for the deputy helmsman.

The helmsman Dao Xiong is also an eighth rank.

It's just that he has a very deep experience in the eighth rank and has a very solid foundation. Ordinary eighth rank is far from his opponent.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to suppress the four deputy helmsmen under his command.

The next level above Tonggu is Liujin realm.

Most martial artists will stop at this step. There are very few people who can go to a higher level. At least in Qinghe, no one can do it.

Therefore, Liujin realm is often called the retention realm.

It's difficult, difficult, difficult to move from Tonggu to Liujin!

It requires not only extraordinary talent, but also a large amount of resources, otherwise there will be no hope even if you practice for a lifetime.

"It seems that we have to fight."

Li Rui was originally unwilling to get involved in the dispute of the assessment.

But now the pitiful ten taels of tribute of the head of Tianyi Hall obviously can no longer satisfy the appetite of an eighth-grade warrior.

However, Li Rui did not intend to fully expose his strength.

As long as he could find a lucrative job, he could still make money. There was no need to expose all his cards to fight for a deputy leader. He didn't care about reputation and status.

The Qinghe branch's big test came as scheduled.

As early as five days ago, a huge arena that could accommodate a hundred people was built in the center of the branch's martial arts field.

The disciples of the branch arrived at the martial arts field early.

There were crowds of people.

On the high platform, nine chairs were placed, and nine people sat on them.

Li Rui was undoubtedly in the audience, at most he didn't have to mix with ordinary disciples.

Wu Tu stood beside him.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that the person who came for the assessment this time was Vice Alliance Leader Tang."

Li Rui set his eyes on the middle-aged man with a mustache and a profound temperament sitting in the middle.

According to the rules of the Tiandi Alliance, the headquarters needs to send a vice alliance leader to supervise the branch exam. This is a convention.

"Vice Alliance Leader Tang is the strongest person under the three leaders. He is a master of the seventh-grade Liujin realm. He seems to have not been out for many years."

Wu Tu knows the situation of the Tiandi Alliance very well.

Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the three people sitting at the edge.

"Why are they here?"

In addition to the leader Dao Xiong and the four vice leaders, the three people from Huaqing Sect were also sitting on the high platform.

On the high platform.

Zhu Yue sat upright.

The feeling of looking down is really great.

Unlike Han Qin and Jiang Yan, he has lived in Qinghe since he was a child and knows much more about the Tiandi Alliance than the two of them.

In Qinghe, forces like the Tiandi Alliance and the Blood Tiger Gang are not something that even the rich Zhu family can afford to offend.

Since he was a child, he was warned by his father Zhu Ping.

"Don't get into conflict with people from the Blood Tiger Gang."

But now, he has not only become a distinguished guest of the Tiandi League, but also sits on an equal footing with the helmsman and the deputy helmsman, which is something he never dared to think of when he was young.

He glanced at the eight people beside him.

Among the nine people on the high platform, he is the only one who is not an eighth-rank.

The reason why he can sit in this position is just because of his identity as a member of the Huaqing Sect. As the main sect of Anning Prefecture, the Tiandi League must openly treat Huaqing Sect with courtesy.

Zhu Yue was even more fortunate that he could join the Huaqing Sect that year.

Otherwise, he might just be one of the many disciples in the audience, looking up at the people on the stage.

Seeing everyone was there.

The helmsman Dao Xiong coughed lightly, and he turned his head to look at the deputy leader Tang Sheng who was sitting in the center.

"Leader Tang, Qinghe still has a lot of good seedlings this time, and..."

He glanced at Han Qin and the other two with his peripheral vision.

"Fortunately, Huaqing Sect appreciates Qinghe, and Qinghe can occupy a quota of Huaqing Sect disciples alone, and the age limit can be relaxed to 35 years old. The two people who are at the top of the assessment this time can get the qualification to participate in the competition."

"Oh?"

Hearing Dao Xiong's words, Tang Sheng showed an interested look.

"Huaqing Sect"

There is no doubt how precious the quota of Huaqing Sect disciples is. Not to mention the strict assessment, the key is that the age requirement is very high, and only talented disciples under the age of 15 are recruited.

For a large sect like Huaqing Sect, there is no shortage of talented disciples, so loyalty is more important.

A disciple who has been trained since childhood is naturally more loyal than a disciple who changes his career halfway, and he is more malleable.

Some peasants took shortcuts and exhausted their potential in advance.

Even if they were strong, Huaqing Sect would not look down on them.

This quota was even more precious.

Tang Sheng turned around and smiled at Han Qin and the other two to express his gratitude.

The top leaders were also happy to see someone from Tiandi League become a disciple of Huaqing Sect.

After Tang Sheng greeted them, he said to Dao Xiong:

"Okay, let's get started."
