At this moment, the fireworks in the sky were like countless flowers, blooming around the moon, and the thin clouds and mist were also dyed with colorful colors; then they turned into bright raindrops, falling from the sky, Flying towards the location of Monk Jingru.
At the same time, the "Fengfeng Fire Lotus" used by monk Jingru also exploded.
The heat wave is rolling and the flames are dancing wildly.
The water in the Luohe River evaporated into a hazy mist, blurring Gu Xu's vision; the blazing flames were like golden snakes, rushing toward Gu Xu with their fangs and claws.
The audience in the audience held their breath in unison.
Whether you are a layman or an insider, you can feel at this moment that the fireworks in the sky and the sea of fire on the ground are extremely powerful spells - as long as ordinary people get a little bit of it, it is possible Instantly burned to ashes.
However, before they could react, the figures of Gu Xu and Monk Jingru disappeared at the same time.
The movement technique used by Gu Xu is naturally "Meteor Walking on the Moon".
He was like a ghost, appearing and disappearing, shuttling between the blazing fire.
Facing the raging fire, he knew that he could not bear it forcefully, and he had no time to cast complex spells, so he immediately chose to use his body skills to dodge.
In addition, he also took out more than two hundred "Xuanbing Talismans" from "Xianyunju" and threw them towards the oncoming flames.
"Xuanbing Talisman" is an extremely basic talisman.
It can turn into ice, lowering the temperature; if it touches the enemy, it can also restrain his movement for a short time.
After Gu Xu’s improvement, the effect of these "Xuanbing Talisman" in his hand lasts longer than the original version, and the temperature is much lower.
Although in front of the "Fengfeng Fire Lotus" that is as pure as a monk, the frost created by this "Xuanbing Talisman" is not enough to look at.
But because there were too many, it was enough to ensure that Gu Xu would not be injured by the high temperature during the action.
With spiritual perception far beyond ordinary people, Gu Xu was able to detect that the "Fengfeng Fire Lotus" used by monk Jingru was still not skilled enough, and there were still many flaws.
After all, most people in the world don’t have Gu Xu’s amazing understanding.
Being able to learn a high-grade spell is considered a genius.
For someone like Monk Jingru, it is undoubtedly very difficult to use the "Vajra Indestructible Divine Art" and "Fengfeng Fire Lotus", two moves with completely different artistic conceptions, one offensive and one defensive.
So, under the protection of the "Xuanbing Talisman", Gu Xu searched for the flaws in the "Fengfeng Fire Lotus" while flexibly walking between the gaps in the fire.
He knew that as long as he survived for a few minutes, the "Fengfeng Fire Lotus" would naturally dissipate.
…………
But Monk Jingru is not as relaxed as Gu Xu appears.
He performed the "Wandering Dragon Flying Step" passed down from the Lingshan Temple, taking flexible steps, trying to avoid the gorgeous fireworks falling from the sky.
But he found that these fireworks had been firmly locked on him - no matter where he escaped, the fireworks always followed him and could not be shaken off.
Monk Jingru suddenly wanted to curse.
But he remembered the precepts of "no lying" and "no harsh words" in Lingshan Temple, and he suppressed the urge to curse.
Just using high-grade spells consumes a lot of real energy, and now he can no longer use his "indestructible body" to resist Gu Xu's menacing attack.
But he was unwilling to give in easily and lose the face of Lingshan Temple and his master.
So, he could only hold the wooden stick in his hand tightly, place it in front of him, and try to use the natal objects and pure true energy to build an invisible barrier.
In an instant, the fireworks and the true energy barrier collided heavily.
Brilliant sparks shot out in all directions, making a crackling sound, like fiery trees and silver flowers, dazzling.
Under this violent impact, blood oozed from the corners of the monk's mouth.
He was knocked several meters into the air, flew a long distance, and then fell heavily into the smoking Luo River.
At this time, he was very fortunate that he was a martial arts monk. He practiced techniques that could enhance his physique. He was much thicker and thicker than the average person.
Otherwise, both the huge impact and the nearly boiling Luo River water would kill him instantly.
"I can't imagine that this Gu Xu is just a third-level monk... No wonder the master keeps mentioning his name recently," Monk Jingru said while facing the shore like a dog. While swimming, I silently thought to myself, "This kind of person can no longer simply be called a 'genius'. He should be called a 'monster'."
…………
Monk Jingru left the arena and fell into the river, which undoubtedly declared his failure.
But Gu Xu was still standing firmly on the high platform.
Under his calm gaze, the surrounding flames gradually extinguished - as if the ministers were respectfully retiring in front of the king after the morning court.
Everyone on both sides of the Luo River was still immersed in the fierce battle just now, and it took a long time to come back to their senses.
The cheers, applause, applause, and the loud sound of gongs and drums started belatedly.
Only this time, there was no more beautiful singing from the lamp tower.
…………
The singers were silently waiting for the literati in the capital to present new lyrics to celebrate Gu Xu’s victory in another round of battle.
But after waiting for a long time, they could not find any sign of the literati.
"What on earth is going on?"
"Shouldn't that wonderful battle just now be an excellent subject?"
" Don't they all want to seize this famous person?Opportunity? ”
…………
A young official wearing casual clothes was silently watching the battle by the river.
This man was the Imperial Xiu of the Da Qi Dynasty. Written by Yu Changqing, the top scorer in the latest imperial examination.
The duel just now impressed him deeply.
With paper and charcoal in hand, he considered writing a poem again. Praise the talented young man on the stage.
However, as soon as he wrote a few words, he frowned, then shook his head and tore up the paper in his hand. < /p>
The poem "The Sapphire Case" written by Gu Xu with fireworks appeared in his mind and lingered.
The poem is exquisitely conceived and the language is gorgeous; every word. They are all used appropriately to outline the grand occasion of the New Year's Eve with dazzling lanterns and ear-filling music.
As for the lower part, it is even more subtle and euphemistic.
Yu Changqing feels it is endless. , even if I rack my brains, use up all the ink in my stomach, and carve the words repeatedly, I still can't write a work of this level.
Under such circumstances, if you send your work to me. In the hands of the Denglou singers, they will only be ridiculed by everyone.
“I can’t believe that a monk who is only seventeen years old and whose main job is to kill ghosts has surpassed us in literary talent. These literati who have been studying poems and books and studying articles day and night for many years! "
"This is really a shame! ”
Yu Changqing sighed, looking at Gu Xu with admiration in his eyes.
…………
For this battle, different people They have different focuses.
For example, Jia Xiuguang, a Fu cultivator from Longmen Academy, has a particularly gloomy expression.
Ever since he was defeated by Shi Xiaohan with the "Overlord Sword Technique". His mood has been gloomy.
However, the "Xuan Ice Talisman" that Gu Xu just used caught his attention.
"How could the effect of his 'Xuan Ice Talisman' be so great? Lasted so long? Jia Xiuguang was stunned, "If I remember correctly, the 'Xuanbing Talisman' drawn by the teacher is not that powerful!" "
"The most important thing is, how can he carry more than two hundred 'Xuanbing Talismans' with him? ”
Jia Xiuguang couldn’t imagine how many talismans Gu Xu would have if he added them up.
