“The first round of this competition, please ask the disciples of the Sixth Peak to come to the stage and engrave their names.”
After a while, when the disciples of the Sixth Peak and the Seventh Peak walked onto the Sword Terrace, Elder Heilong immediately announced the start of the competition.
“Zhou Ao of the Sixth Peak, greetings to Elder Heilong.”
If there are no accidents, the first disciple sent by the Sixth Peak is Zhou Ao, who has the weakest strength.
“Second Senior Brother, based on Zhou Ao’s cultivation level, he can at most pick a one-hundred-jin ship-pressing iron, right？”
Zhao Linglong looked at Zhou Ao, who was currently choosing the ship-pressing iron, and said.
“Judging from the fact that he still can’t fly with the sword at present, the ship-pressing iron he can choose is indeed around one hundred catties.”
Qing Xiao nodded.
“Junior Brother, how many catties of ship-pressing iron did you hang at most yesterday？”
Hearing this, Zhao Linglong immediately turned her head to look at Xu Taiping.
“Sixty catties.”
Xu Taiping answered truthfully.
In order to prepare for today’s competition, several of their senior and junior brothers gathered on the Sword Testing Platform of the Seventh Peak, and then each tried the weight-bearing capacity of the flying sword. At that time, the ship-pressing iron that Xu Taiping’s flying sword could hang was sixty catties.
It’s not that he couldn’t hang a heavier ship-pressing iron, but after this weight, his head would become drowsy, and his ears would keep making a buzzing sound, and he simply couldn’t fly the sword steadily.
According to Senior Brother Qing Xiao’s statement, this symptom originates from the cultivator’s soul and is called Soul Weeping.
Because when a cultivator uses the sword control technique to fly the sword, the soul is actually connected to the sword. If a heavy object is pressed on the flying sword without prior adaptation, or the flying sword suffers heavy damage, this symptom of Soul Weeping will be caused.
There is no good way to relieve this symptom. Only by practicing day after day can the flying sword bear more weight and withstand more violent impacts.
So under normal circumstances, even if a cultivator can control the sword, it will take two or three years or even longer to fly with the sword.
This is also the reason why the fourth competition of the Seven Peaks Grand Competition is called the endurance competition.
Because in the end of this competition, it is often the cultivator’s endurance to the symptom of soul crying that is compared.
If that Zhou Ao hangs a weight of more than one hundred catties later, Taiping, you should admit defeat first. It doesn’t count as anything for the first time participating in the Seven Peaks Grand Competition.
Eldest senior sister Jiang Zhi said to Xu Taiping in a soft tone.
If possible, I still want to try before admitting defeat.
Xu Taiping thought seriously for a while and replied.
He couldn’t get over the hurdle in his heart if he admitted defeat without even trying.
That’s okay too.
Qing Xiao nodded at this time.
The reason why they asked Xu Taiping to admit defeat first was that they didn’t want to let the disciples of other peaks laugh at him for making a fool of himself. After all, if the symptom of soul crying and he couldn’t endure it. it was very likely that he would lose his composure. But since Xu Taiping himself didn’t care, they didn’t have anything to worry about.
Then regard this competition as a cultivation experience. As long as the soul crying doesn’t last too long, it won’t cause substantial damage to the soul.
Elder Sister Jiang Zhi also had no objections.
“Well done.” Zhao Linglong blinked at Xu Taiping and said in a low voice.
“The disciple of the Sixth Peak, Zhou Ao, has chosen the ship-pressing iron weighing one hundred and thirty catties this time.”
At this time, the voice of Elder Black Dragon sounded again.
Upon hearing this, except for Xu Taiping, the few people from the Seventh Peak all looked at each other in dismay.
“One hundred and thirty catties. Is this kid crazy？”
Zhao Linglong said in surprise.
Based on their understanding of Zhou Ao, his flying sword could at most withstand a weight of one hundred catties. Suddenly increasing it to one hundred and thirty catties was obviously not normal.
The eyes of several people all looked towards the disciples of the Sixth Peak.
As a result, they found that the elder sister and several senior brothers of the Sixth Peak also had expressions of surprise on their faces.
Obviously, the weight that Zhou Ao reported to Elder Black Dragon was also unknown to them in advance.
Could this Zhou Ao be sulking with me?
Xu Taiping suspected.
“Although this Zhou Ao has a bit of a mean mouth, he wouldn’t be so petty, and it was he who offended Taiping you first.”
Zhao Linglong also felt a bit surprised.
“Let’s first see if he can hang up that piece of ship-pressing iron.”
Qing Xiao shook his head.
He also didn’t understand why Zhou Ao had such a strong hostility towards Taiping.
Just at this moment, Zhou Ao sacrificed a precious sword on his back with a “zheng” sound.
There was a strong spiritual energy fluctuation on the sword, and it was obvious at a glance that it was no ordinary object.
Then, with a buzzing sound, Zhou Ao controlled the flying sword to fly in front of Elder Black Dragon.
Elder Black Dragon, without saying a word, tied two pieces of ship-pressing iron, one large and one small, strung together, to the flying sword with a thin steel cable.
The moment the ship-pressing iron was hung, the spiritual energy fluctuation on the flying sword suddenly became intense, continuously emitting a “buzzing” trembling sound, and the Sword body of the sword swayed as if it was about to fall.
And Zhou Ao, who was controlling the flying sword, his body began to tremble violently. The arm with the erected sword finger seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and it was slowly being pressed down.
”Hmph！”
However, with a muffled grunt from Zhou Ao, and then a hideous roar the hand with the sword finger he was pinching suddenly rose again.
Immediately afterwards, the flying sword that had almost touched the ground suddenly flew upwards.
Although the flying speed was not fast, it finally flew to the bare position on the opposite cliff wall and began to write the Qingxuan Seven Rhymes stroke by stroke.
”The first rhyme of the Qingxuan Seven Rhymes, those who kill their fellow disciples will have their spiritual bones removed and be beaten into the vulgar… world！”
While loudly reading, Zhou Ao controlled the flying sword and began to write on the cliff with a “swish swish swish”.
Finally, in the astonished eyes of everyone, that Zhou Ao wrote out the complete seven laws.
Even the people from the six peaks all had expressions of surprise on their faces, and no one expected that Zhou Ao could suspend the iron for one hundred and thirty catties this time.
Immediately afterwards, only a “plop” was heard, and Zhou Ao, whose clothes had already been soaked in sweat, suddenly knelt down on the ground and began to pant heavily.
To be able to make a cultivator in the Wangyou Realm show such a tired state is enough to show how terrifying the pain of the Soul Weeping is.
After recovering a little, that Zhou Ao suddenly raised his head, looked at a cloud building opposite, and a smile of great pride appeared on his face.
Following his gaze, it could be seen that at this time, sitting on that cloud building were precisely Xu Ziyan and Lin Buyu.
Then, he turned his head and looked at the position of Xu Taiping behind him, and then said provocatively with a face：
“Xu Taiping, do you dare to come up and fight！”
Many Qingxuan Sect disciples on the cloud building were no strangers to the name Xu Taiping, so after hearing Zhou Ao’s shout, there was a hubbub on the Western Zhou Cloud Building for a while.
He didn’t expect that this Zhou Ao would also have a festival with Xu Taiping.
