　　“Is this guy out of his mind？”
　　Seeing that Zhou Ao was pointing at Taiping like a fighting dog, Zhao Linglong suddenly cursed in a low voice.
　　“Seventh Peak, who will you send to the stage？”
　　At this time, the voice of Elder Heilong also rang out.
　　“Elder Heilong, wait a moment and let us discuss for a while.”
　　Eldest Senior Sister Jiang Zhi immediately responded.
　　“You only have the time of a cup of tea.”
　　Elder　Heilong　nodded.
　　According to the rules of this competition, the challenging side has the time of a cup of tea to consider.
　　However, the disciples on the west side of Yunlou didn’t care about this and just thought that Xu Taiping was afraid to come up. For a while, there was a lot of boos on the west side of Jianping.
　　“What’s wrong with the seventh one？ Who asked him to target Taiping like this？”
　　After hearing the boos around, Xu Ziyan on the cloud tower immediately had a somewhat displeased expression.
　　Lin Buyu, on the other hand, expressionlessly spit out two words：
　　“Idiot.”
　　Xu Ziyan beside her wanted to cry but had no tears.
　　How could she not know what the seventh one was thinking? But with Lin Buyu’s personality, if she wasn’t interested in you, she just wasn’t interested. The more he did this, the more disgusted she would be.
I guess Taiping is going to withdraw from the competition.
　　Xu　Ziyan　sighed.
　　“No.”
　　Lin Buyu, who had already lowered her head to read the script, said without raising her head.
　　“How do you know he won’t…”
　　“The disciple representing the Seventh Peak, Xu Taiping！”
　　Before Xu Ziyan could finish her words, the voice of Elder Black Dragon rang out.
　　Upon hearing this, a mischievous smile appeared on the corner of Lin Buyu’s mouth, and then he continued to read the script in his hand with relish.
　　……
　　On the sword terrace.
　　“Will Taiping be okay？”
　　Zhao Linglong looked worriedly at the back of Xu Taiping as he stepped onto the stage.
　　“He knows the measure, probably not.”
　　Eldest Senior Sister Jiang Zhi shook her head.
　　“But I always feel that he will do something stupid, stubbornly endure the pain of Soul Weeping, and hang up that 130-jin ship-pressing iron.”
　　At this time, Zhao Linglong She frowned .
　　“There is no need to worry about this. The pain of the soul is not the same as the pain of the body and skin. It is not something you can endure if you want to. Most people will faint immediately.”
　　Jiang Zhi shook her head and said.
　　“But there are exceptions. Those cultivators who don’t faint and choose to keep stubbornly enduring it will instead be in danger.”
　　Qing Xiao She frowned and said.
　　Upon hearing this, Zhao Linglong’s face changed instantly.
　　Because the Xu Taiping in his impression was very much like the kind of person Qing Xiao had mentioned.
　　Soon, the voice of Elder Black Dragon rang out again——
　　“Xu Taiping of the Seventh Peak has chosen the ship-pressing iron of 131 jin this time.”
Hearing this, those disciples of Qingxuan Sect who had made a fuss at the beginning on the Cloud Tower felt a burning sensation on their faces, but some people still disdain ed.
　　“Don’t look, it must be just a random muddle, and then admit defeat on his own.”
　　“Yes, it must be that he can’t save face, so he is cheeky enough to play.”
　　Listening to the bursts of taunting sounds coming from the Cloud Tower, Zhao Linglong’s face became uglier and uglier.
But she had no way to refute this at all, because they had just given such instructions to Xu Taiping.
　　“Don’t care about these long-tongued women. As long as Taiping can sacrifice the flying sword this time, it will be considered a mission accomplished.”
　　Seeing that Zhao Linglong’s face was getting uglier and uglier, Qingxiao immediately persuaded.
　　“Little junior brother is only in the first Seven Peaks Competition. Six years later, he will definitely be able to make all these people shut up！”
　　Zhao Linglong said with great certainty.
　　“Well, Taiping six years later will surely be able to take on a leading role.”
　　Qingxiao was also very certain about this.
　　“So even for the sake of Taiping, in this Seven Peaks Competition, we must win one or two games no matter what. Without enough natural treasures, no matter how hard he tries, he won’t be able to catch up with the disciples of the other peaks.”
　　Eldest senior sister Jiang Zhi said firmly.
　　Qingxiao and Zhao Linglong nodded heavily when they heard this.
　　This time, both Jiang Zhi and Qing Xiao have made up their minds to suffer damage to their souls.
　　……
　　On　the　stage.
　　“Xu Taiping, sacrifice your sword.”
　　The Black Dragon Elder leaned his hand on his back and looked at Xu Taiping with no joy or sorrow in his eyes.
　　“Yes.” Xu Taiping nodded.
　　Immediately, he made a sword finger and then began to operate the sword formula.
　　“Zheng！” With a sword chirping sound, the sword on his back suddenly broke out of its sheath and flew to his front.
　　When the Black Dragon Elder saw the sword, he couldn’t help frowning slightly.
　　Xu Taiping’s sword was exactly the rusty sword that the Third Third Layman had placed in the Moon Fishing Pool.
　　The reason for bringing this sword was not because the Seventh Peak didn’t have a sword. Mainly, Xu Taiping was used to it and didn’t want to change it temporarily.
　　In order to bring out this sword, Xu Taiping had promised the Third Third Elder that he would engrave an additional three thousand characters when he went back.
　　Some cultivators with good eyesight also saw Xu Taiping’s rusty sword at this time.
For a while, some people laughed that the Seventh Peak was too shabby to even have a decent sword, and some people laughed that Xu Taiping regarded this Seven Peaks Competition as a joke and casually took a sword to participate in the competition.
　　And in the Cloud Tower, an old man with gray hair behind Lin Buyu and Xu Ziyan, after hearing the words of these people, was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and cursed loudly：
　　”A bunch of useless people, and they dare to appraise my sword？”
　　However, the people around didn’t seem to notice his existence, and the jeering and taunting voices continued.
　　”Xu Taiping, if you disgrace me in this round, I will definitely punish you to copy three thousand more words when you go back！”
　　The old man gritted his teeth and said as he looked at Xu Taiping on the sword flat below.
　　……
　　”Ah…choo！”
　　On the stage, Xu Taiping, who was about to ask Elder Heilong to hang the ship-pressing iron, suddenly sneezed, and the flying sword in front of him immediately shook violently.
　　This immediately caused the disciples on the cloud building to burst into laughter again.
　　”Xu Taiping, are you ready？”
　　Elder Heilong still had that serious face.
　　”The disciple is already ready.”
　　Xu Taiping touched his nose and then said seriously.
　　Hearing this, Elder Heilong also nodded seriously.
　　Then, he was seen easily picking up a piece of ship-pressing iron and then slowly tying it to the rusty sword controlled by Xu Taiping.
“Buzz!” ~”
　　Almost at the moment Elder Heilong’s hand left the ship-pressing iron, the rusty sword let out a trembling sound followed .
　　At the same time, Xu Taiping’s brain seemed to have been punched heavily, and it went blank.
followed, the rusty sword suddenly fell towards the ground.
　　However, this state only lasted for an instant. Xu Taiping endured the dizziness that made him feel a little nauseous and made the rusty sword fly up again.
　　But even just making the rusty sword rise three feet off the ground, he already felt a little breathless, with a tight chest and his heart pounding violently. The whole person seemed to pass out at any moment.
　　And this is the symptom of Soul Weeping.
　　“Xu Taiping, this is only one hundred catties, and there are still thirty-one catties left to be hung up. Can you still hold on？”
　　The Black Dragon Elder then picked up a small piece of ship-pressing iron.
　　“If you can’t hold on, you can give up the competition.”
　　He then said in a tone without any emotion.
　　“Hoo…” Xu Taiping tried hard to exhale a mouthful of turbid air in his chest, and then stood up straight again. The sword finger in his hand suddenly flicked upward.
　　With a “zheng” sound, the rusty sword flew to the front of the Black Dragon Elder again.
　　“Yes.” Two words came out of Xu Taiping’s mouth.
　　The people who had originally been preparing to watch Xu Taiping’s joke fell silent for a while.
　　The Black Dragon Elder did not hesitate and immediately hung another piece of ship-pressing iron on Xu Taiping’s rusty sword.
　　This time, the flying sword did not fall, but Xu Taiping’s face instantly turned as pale as paper.
　　At this moment, he was completely controlling the sword by instinct.
　　Thanks to the day after day practice in these days, his sword control technique has become so proficient.
　　Seeing this scene, the Black Dragon Elder didn’t say anything, but just hung another piece of ship-pressing iron the size of a thumb on the rusty sword.
　　“Exactly one hundred and thirty-one catties, please engrave the characters.”
　　The Black Dragon Elder said to Xu Taiping in his emotionless voice.
