Chapter 20
Wang Xuan woke up slowly when he heard Lin An's name. He looked down and saw his figure.
The sword in Lin An's hand danced faster and faster, like a silver dragon flying up and down.
Sometimes it moved, sometimes it slowed down.
It moved like thunder, and slowed down like clouds.
From time to time, you can see the green lotus emerging from it.
It was both steady and unrestrained.
And his opponent, a burly and bare-chested man, danced with a pair of copper gourd hammers in his hands with great vigor.
This bare-chested man was the tenth ranked in the martial arts test prediction, Li Dazhuang.
He was born with supernatural power and was originally just a butcher in the folk.
Later, he was accepted as an apprentice by a strange man in the rivers and lakes and taught him martial arts.
Now he is 29 years old, condensed the flower of essence, and became a master of the innate realm.
With his pair of copper gourd hammers weighing more than a thousand pounds, he is unstoppable.
Even ordinary masters of the second flower innate realm dare not collide head-on.
Many people who participated in the martial arts test would rather choose to fight with people who are ranked higher than him.
But Wang Xuan could tell at a glance that Li Dazhuang was just a spent force, and his every move had already been tuned into Lin An's rhythm.
""It seems like they are evenly matched, but in fact, defeat only takes a moment."Wang Xuan muttered to himself.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Li Dazhuang was pierced through the chest by Lin An's sword, and then kicked under the ring.
The blood dyed the land red, and his life or death was unknown.
Seeing this, Wang Xuan's expression froze, as if thinking about something.
"Lin Ansheng!"The referee announced.
There was an uproar at the scene.
"How is it possible? Li Dazhuang actually lost? He couldn't even make it to the second round?"
"My five thousand taels of silver! This is my pocket money that I have saved for half a year!"
"I wonder if such a handsome man is married?"
"Go check for me, who is this Lin An?"
Lin An defeated Li Dazhuang, and was seen by many people.
Especially some aristocratic families, they came here to watch the martial arts test for other purposes.
They used their own financial power to win over and invest in these geniuses, and consolidate their status as a privileged class.
After a while, they got information about Lin An.
"This Lin An is actually the love rival of Prince Zhenbei?"
"Do you have an unclear relationship with the daughter of Chu's family, the Chief Censor?"
The news of the cancellation of the engagement between the Zhenbei Palace and the Chu family caused a lot of uproar a month ago.
It was also a topic of conversation among the aristocratic families.
Unexpectedly, there was a key figure, Lin An, hidden in this storm.
If the rumors are true, how can the Zhenbei Palace maintain its reputation?
It is shameful to say that the dignified Zhenbei Prince was poached by a commoner.
In today's martial arts test, Lin An defeated Li Dazhuang in one fell swoop.
An unknown person defeated the tenth predicted in the martial arts test, and he was also the love rival of the Zhenbei Prince.
With the two combined, Lin An's reputation spread throughout the entire school field in an instant.
There was endless discussion.
Most of them were praising Lin An.
After all, the drama of the loser's counterattack has always been a popular topic among the public.
Chu Siyan was also in the crowd, so she naturally heard what everyone said.
She was in a complicated mood, a little shy and a little proud.
Shy because some people said that she and Lin An were in love.
She admitted that she had a good impression of Lin An, but they were not really together yet.
The pride was naturally for Wang Xuan.
"Did you see it? Wang Xuan"
"Lin An has performed exceptionally well in the martial arts test"
"What else do you do except to show off your power by using the title of the Prince of Zhenbei?"
This trend naturally also blew to Wang Xuan's vicinity.
Some noble children who were dissatisfied with the Zhenbei Palace came over and mocked him:
"Your Highness, you have lost all the face of the Zhenbei Palace."
"I was actually poached by a mere lowly person. It's really ridiculous!
Uncle Fu looked at Wang Xuan with a worried look on his face, afraid that he couldn't bear such a blow.
However, his worry was unnecessary.
Wang Xuan turned his head and squinted his eyes, looking imposing, and snorted coldly:
"Is it funny?"
The visitor was stunned, with beads of sweat on his forehead:"......ah?"
"I! Ask! You!" Wang Xuan said word by word, his momentum rising:"Fun! Funny! Is it!"
Feeling the cold momentum, the visitor was sweating profusely, his face became terrified, and he opened his mouth to speak, but he couldn't say anything.
"The reputation of my Zhenbei Palace was not given by Lin An, not by Chu Siyan, and not by you bunch of useless people who just eat and wait to die in Luodu all day long!"
"It was won by the hundreds of ancestors of my Wang family who died in battle over the past hundred years, by the hard work of several generations of Zhenbei Kings day and night, and by the thirty Zhenbei soldiers in the northern border who 'were willing to eat the flesh of the barbarians when hungry and drink the blood of the Xiongnu when thirsty'!"
"You said that my Zhenbei Palace was a disgrace? Are you worthy of it!!!"
A terrifying aura descended.
"Ah! Help!"
The mocking crowd was so frightened that they collapsed to the ground. Some people crawled away on all fours, and some were even frightened to death.
The scene was as chaotic as it could be.
"Humph! What a waste!"
He just used the divine flower's mind attack to scare these wastes, but he didn't expect them to be so unbearable.
Wang Xuan left the scene with a wave of his sleeves.
The dead silence at the scene was not relieved until his figure completely disappeared.
Soon, the news of the prince of Zhenbei's verbal battle with the heroes spread throughout the aristocratic families.
"A group of heroes? He is just a waste at best. He was actually scared to death. It is a disgrace to our family."
"Wang Xuan is actually getting excited? It seems that this engagement has a great impact on him."
"Everyone can talk big and empty words, but in Daqian, strength is everything. It is better to fight a few rounds than to say more."
"That's true."
The person who said these words was of noble status, and might not be as good as the King of Zhenbei, but he was also a top noble.
Wang Xuan's"sharp tongue" did not impress them. No matter how much he said, it was better to speak with strength.
As Wang Xuan himself said, face is earned by one's own efforts.......
Wang Xuan did not leave the training ground, he just sat in a different place.
His eyes were still fixed on the ring where Lin An was.
After Li Dazhuang, Lin An faced three more opponents.
Without exception, he was defeated easily, either dead or injured.
Before the competition, everyone signed a life and death agreement, so no one questioned it.
But no one dared to challenge him anymore.
Lin An smiled triumphantly.
This was the result he wanted.
To intimidate those who wanted to challenge him with the force of thunder, to reduce fighting and conserve energy.
Noon had arrived.
Sixteen martial artists finally won.
They were Yang Linzheng, Chen Yuling,......And Lin An!
Yang Linzheng sat there for the whole morning.
Lin An only fought three matches.
As for the others, the least fought ten matches, and they were all exhausted.
The next step was the elimination round.
Draw lots to compete in groups of two, and the loser was eliminated, and this cycle repeated until the champion was decided.
Fortunately, after advancing, there was a half-hour break.
Everyone walked off the stage.
At this time, an old man rushed to Lin An, ignoring the soldiers' obstruction, grabbed his clothes and shouted:
"Ah! Give me back my son's life!"
Lin An's face was gloomy.
