Chapter 23 Dark Horse
Although everyone was quite shocked by Sun Bing's strength, the huge outer sect competition was a major event for the Sun family, and it was impossible for it to be stopped suddenly just because Sun Bing appeared. Therefore, Elder Sun Li coughed lightly: "It seems My disciples of the Sun family have practiced very hard this year, but if they are first in Wen Wu and second in Wu Wu, the winner still has to be determined."
This attracted the attention of many disciples, who turned to look at Shitai IQ again, but even so, there were still many people with different emotions flashing in their eyes, thinking secretly: It seems that there will be a dark horse this year. .
To be honest, the disciples who came on stage next to Dabi were a little worried. After all, Zhu Yu was in front, and they couldn't show off their skills at all. In the past, they were a little complacent, but now they are simply considered embarrassing.
Even if some of the disciples performed well and had a certain state of mind, and had one or two unique skills, they would have attracted attention at the beginning, but it didn't work at all at the moment, and all the disciples were not very interested at the moment.
At this time, Sun Bing's name rang out again, and suddenly everyone's eyes were attracted. Even Qin Ming, who ranked first last year, slowly opened his eyes to investigate.
Standing on the stone platform again, Sun Bing looked at each other quietly, but this time the disciple was not very famous, and even the cultivation realm had just reached the fifth level of the body tempering realm. For Sun Bing, it was not considered at all. A rival.
Even before Sun Bing made a move, the opponent immediately admitted defeat, but think about it, this person has not even achieved the top ten in previous years, and is not Sun Bing's opponent at all, so it is better to admit defeat directly to avoid embarrassment.
This made the disciples who wanted to collect information about Sun Bing feel disappointed. After all, the unknown can always attract people. Although Qin Ming and others were among the top three in previous years, they would not find it strange after seeing more. Only fresh people to arouse their interest.
Sun Bing fits this perfectly. Not to mention seeing him take action, many people here have not seen Sun Bing for ten years. He seems extremely mysterious. Since he can't watch, he is on the high platform at the moment. Discuss below:
"I didn't expect that a dark horse would appear this year. This Sun Bing is really forbearing. I have never heard of him in so many years. Who do you think should be in the top three in this year's competition?"
"I think they are still the same three people from last year. Although Sun Bing is said to be a dark horse because of his sudden emergence, after all, he does not have enough background. It is possible next year." One person shook his head and commented.
But another person clearly disagreed with his remarks and immediately retorted: "I don't think so. Since Sun Bing has stepped forward this year, he must be sure of it, and the other party has not yet shown his true strength. , how can you infer the final winner?"
"Haha, although Sun Bing has not shown his true strength, do you know how terrifying Qin Ming and others are? He reached the sixth level of the Body Tempering Realm last year, and today he will definitely break through to the seventh level of the Body Tempering Realm. Among them, The gap can be regarded as huge. Sun Bing is only at the fifth level of the Body Tempering Realm. Even if his combat power is incredible, it is not worth mentioning. "
This statement was well-founded. When he thought about the difference in strength, this person didn't know how to refute it, so he couldn't help but stop his voice.
Of course, no matter what the discussion among the disciples in the audience is, it will not affect the final result of the competition. This still requires the subordinates to see the truth. During their close discussion, many people have changed on the stone platform.
As for Sun Bing, he suddenly discovered that after these rounds of eliminations of the originally complicated disciples, those who abstained, those who were defeated, and those who were defeated, unknowingly only the last ten disciples were left undefeated, and these ten were this year's foreign contestants. Among the top ten in the outer gate, Sun Bing was already in the top ten in the outer gate without even putting in much effort.
Although Sun Bing does not know the records of previous years, through the discussion in the audience, he already knows that the top ten of the outer sect this year have changed at least four positions compared to last year. It can be imagined that the competition is fierce.
However, this situation is exactly what the top management wants to see. After all, it means that the family has fresh blood and will not decline. It even changes from the serious face of the past, with a stiff kindness on the face:
"Very good. You are all the younger generation of the Sun family. Only competition among each other can make the family more prosperous. Each of the top ten this year will have five bottles of body tempering pills. It is a small reward. Take it. It’s time to decide the top three.”
When he said this, his eyes swept through the crowd and stayed on Sun Bing for the longest time. The emotions contained in it were quite complicated, especially the deep relief.
Sun Bing was completely confused about the meaning in Elder Sun Li's eyes. He only knew that the other party seemed to value him very much. He didn't think about it at the moment. Instead, he was quite satisfied with the generous reward. After all, five bottles of body tempering pills were really a sum. What a windfall. One tablet every two days is enough to last a month.
"The battle for the top three, the first one is Sun Bing." Elder Sun Li announced calmly, which instantly attracted everyone's attention. After all, the top ten battles are usually very interesting, and the first one is the most important one. The mysterious Sun Bing can certainly satisfy everyone.
Under the gaze of many eyes, Sun Bing slowly walked onto the high platform. At this moment, Elder Sun Li looked at the list in his hand, and his deep voice was still the same: "Sun Yu."
"It's Sun Yu. It looks like this is another dark horse battle. The outer sect competitions in recent years are very interesting. Two dark horses appeared at once."
"Yes, I know Sun Yu. His parents died and he became an orphan. But he was adopted by the Sun family and was given the surname Sun. He is usually quite taciturn, but his character is quite tough. He is already at the sixth level of the body tempering realm at the age of fifteen. It's really scary."
Listening to these words, Sun Bing also looked at his opponent with some curiosity. Although the opponent was thin, he had a fierce look on his face. At this moment, he was looking at Sun Bing fiercely. If ordinary people encountered such momentum, even if they didn't take action, they would be three points weaker.
But who is Sun Bing? He is a person who has experienced fighting in the Hengduan Mountains. Not to mention that he is not fierce without any murderous aura, even if a murderous executioner appears in front of him, he can't shake his determination.
"Sun Bing." After all, they are from the same family. It is a courtesy to exchange names before the decisive battle.
"Sun Yu." Although the man in front of him was usually taciturn, he was quite polite and immediately bowed.
After exchanging names, the two sides basically knew each other, but when the people in the audience didn't react at all, he immediately stepped forward, used his body to gain momentum, and rushed towards Sun Bing at lightning speed.
During the rush, his five fingers clenched into a fist, and he wanted to attack Sun Bing's head without any fancy moves, but in the end, he may have thought that this was not a life-and-death fight, so he withdrew his strength.
Facing Sun Yu's actions, Sun Bing felt very good about him. If he were some villain, he might do anything to win. He didn't expect that the other party was also a cold-faced but kind-hearted person, but this was not the time to be distracted, after all, he was still on the stone platform.
Sun Bing tapped his toes lightly, and his body seemed to have no weight. He easily dodged the opponent's attack, and he couldn't help but nod secretly. He could only do it so easily because he practiced the footwork secrets, and Sun Yu's footsteps were stable, and it was obvious that his basic skills were quite solid. Today's rise was indeed not luck.
But the more this happened, the more Sun Bing knew in his heart that he couldn't let go in the face of such an opponent. This was disrespectful to him. His expression couldn't help but become a little serious. He didn't use any extra strength, and only relied on the perfect basic swordsmanship to fight with the opponent.
But even if Sun Bing didn't use his real skills, even if his basic swordsmanship was already quite extraordinary, especially after being tempered by the "Sword Grinding Technique", there was another mystery in it, which was not something that ordinary people could resist.
Sun Yu was actually a little helpless for a while, and his face was slightly flushed at this moment. He knew that he was not Sun Bing's opponent at all, but he was unwilling to give up just like that, and immediately punched again.
"Hey, Stone Breaking Fist." Sun Bing raised his eyebrows. This was the yellow-level low-grade martial arts of the first floor of the Gongfa Hall. Although Sun Bing did not learn it, he casually flipped through it after entering that day.
"Pa Pa Pa Pa" only heard a crisp sound around, which actually came from Sun Yu's body.
"Not bad, not bad." Elder Sun Li, who was watching the battle, also showed a satisfied look on his face. Only when the "Stone Breaking Fist" was practiced to the realm of minor success, could it make a sound when punching. But how should Sun Bing deal with such a situation? This made Elder Sun Li quite curious.
Immediately, the people off the field also turned their attention to Sun Bing. Are the two dark horses going to decide the winner at this moment?
But in an instant, everyone's eyes showed a trace of shock. They saw that Sun Bing's swordsmanship changed, and he actually resisted Sun Yu's fist wind at a weird angle, and then broke through the heavy defense and came to the chest. If Sun Yu continued to attack, he would definitely pierce his heart with a sword.
"What happened? I felt like the winner was decided in the blink of an eye?"
"Yeah, my eyes couldn't react at all."
The audience raised questions. They didn't have time to react to what happened in a split second. They only felt a flash of white light, and then Sun Bing's sword had reached the opponent's chest. Only a few masters found a clue, because Sun Bing's sword was too fast for people to find.
"What, "Zongheng Sword Technique"?" The disciples didn't know, but as the elder of the family, how could Sun Li not know? Even though Elder Sun Li had always been quite indifferent, he couldn't help but be a little shocked at this moment.
You know, since this sword technique was brought back to the Sun family, no one has successfully practiced it for decades. Recently, they have even considered whether this sword technique should be removed from the Gongfa Hall.
Now I actually saw a disciple using it. How can this not be shocking?
