Mortal Bones

"The second round of this match, the first round, the first peak vs. the seventh peak."

"The disciples of the first peak are Huang Qi, Jin Hezhi, Yan Bing, and Ye Xuan."

"The disciples of the seventh peak are Zhao Linglong, Zhou Liang, Jiang Zhi, and Xu Taiping."

After Elder Black Dragon read out the list of disciples who would face off against each other in this round, many disciples in the stands of the surrounding Cloud Towers were all excited, thinking that they would have another good show to watch.

Many cultivators on the field knew about the grudge between Xu Taiping and Ye Xuan of the Seventh Peak.

In the last Seventh Peak Competition, Ye Xuan made a bold statement after his defeat that he would win back this time.

And Xu Taiping's performance in the first five rounds of this Seventh Peak Competition was witnessed by everyone. His cultivation strength has improved at an astonishing speed in the past seven years.

So even if it was not a sword-asking competition, everyone was very interested in their rematch.

"This match is very important to the Seven Peaks. If we lose, we will lose our place as champions and the qualification to ask the master for a sword."

On the west side of a cloud building, Xu Ziyan from the Sixth Peak looked at the Seven Peaks disciples below with a frown.

Lin Buyu beside him also had a thoughtful expression on his face.

They were eliminated by the Second Peak in the last match and could only watch the next match here.

However, unlike Xu Ziyan, Lin Buyu's eyes were looking at the location of the First Peak disciples.

Suddenly, her ears trembled slightly.

Then, a conversation came into his ears——

"Junior Brother Huang, you will be the first to go on stage. Choose 1,800 jin for the weight of the iron."

"1,800 jin? Second Senior Brother, I can only hang 1,100 jin of iron at most on weekdays. Is 1,800 jin too much?"

"What are you afraid of? With that thing, the onset of the Soul Crying Disease can be delayed by at least one hour."

"But even if it is delayed, it will still occur after one hour."

"You don't have this much courage, and you still want to use the Qing Yu Lei Jue?"

"Can Senior Brother really help me find the Qing Yu Lei Jue?"

"It depends on your performance today."

"Second Senior Brother, don't worry, 1,800 jin is no problem. At most, you will have to lie in bed for a few days."

"Okay, stop talking. The competition will start soon. Make some more preparations. Don't lose that thing."

The conversation ended here.

The two people who just talked were the second disciple Jin Hezhi and the third disciple Huang Qi of the First Peak in Lin Buyu's sight.

The reason why Lin Buyu could hear the two people's voices was due to one of the five Taixuan Sect inheritances she got from the Yunmengze Secret Realm - "Taixuan Baili Tingfeng Jue".

The uniqueness of this set of skills is that you can hear the conversations of any person or monster within your sight.

"Senior sister, how many pounds of iron did Huangqi hang last time?"

Lin Buyu suddenly asked Xu Ziyan.

"Huangqi, this person is already in the middle stage of Tongxuan Realm. Last time, it seemed that he hung 1,000 pounds of iron. This year, it should be around 1,100 pounds."

Xu Ziyan said thoughtfully.

"Linglong should be able to bear this weight."

She then added.

Hearing this, Lin Buyu frowned and thought to himself:

"Under normal circumstances, Huangqi can only hang 1,100 pounds of iron, but this time he actually plans to hang 1,800 pounds of iron. There must be something fishy about it."

Thinking of this, she suddenly raised her wrist and looked at the bracelet on her wrist.

After thinking seriously, she suddenly looked up at Xu Ziyan and said:

"Senior sister, I'm going back first."

"Going back so early?"

Xu Ziyan was a little surprised.

"Yeah, it's boring."

Lin Buyu nodded.

"Then you go back first. I have to finish watching this competition before I can go back."

Xu Ziyan did not try to keep her.

This junior sister of hers would never care about other people's opinions, so even if she wanted to keep her, she probably couldn't.

Lin Buyu nodded and went downstairs alone.

However, when she reached the exit downstairs, she walked directly to an empty corner and disappeared there, and no one knew where she went.

Obviously, she used the robe that could hide her figure.

...

At the same time.

Wulaotan, below the high platform, the area where the seven peaks disciples were located.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the First Peak should send Huangqi to appear first. When the time comes, it will be you, Linglong, who will take on the challenge."

There was still one or two cups of tea before the competition began. Jiang Zhi discussed the next competition with Xu Taiping and the others.

"No problem."

Zhao Linglong agreed very straightforwardly.

"Last year, Huangqi was able to lift 1,000 jin of iron. With the speed of his cultivation progress, he should be able to lift about 1,300 jin of iron this year."

Jiang Zhi introduced Zhao Linglong at this time.

"The largest weight I have tried so far is 1,200 jin of iron, but if he persists, it should be no problem to lift about 1,400 jin of iron."

Zhao Linglong thought about it seriously and then answered.

"Then it should be no problem for you, Linglong, to take on Huangqi. The problem now is that we don't know much about Yan Bing and Jin Hezhi. Compared with seven years ago, the speed at which the two of them have improved their cultivation is second only to Ye Xuan in the First Peak."

Jiang Zhi frowned.

"You don't even know, Senior Sister?"

Xu Taiping was a little surprised.

"Yes." Jiang Zhi nodded, "In the past seven years, Yan Bing has been in seclusion. Now he and Ye Xuanze have been going out for training. After returning, they have been deliberately hiding their aura fluctuations. So now, except for the master of the first peak, I’m afraid no one knows how advanced their cultivation has become.”

Jiang Zhi frowned.

Although she and Zhou Liang no longer have to worry about their injuries and attack with all their strength, without knowing the details of their opponents, there are too many unknowns.

"If my practice had not fallen behind for so many years, I would never be in this embarrassing situation today."

She then sighed again.

"It doesn't matter, senior sister, just do your best. Even if you can't draw the sword, I have other ways to hang the iron and carve words."

Xu Taiping asked Jiang Zhi and everyone to relax.
