　　“For the first round of this round of competition, please ask the Western Peak to send a disciple to the stage to hang the iron and engrave the characters.”
　　After drawing the lots and determining the list, the voice of Elder Black Dragon rang out again.
　　As soon as the voice fell, a petite figure flew up from the side of the field and then landed on the stage very lightly.
　　“Zhu Shining, a disciple newly accepted by the Western Peak three years ago, with the Wind Yuan Gold Different Bone. She started practicing swordsmanship a year ago and only took one month to master the unique Wind-Controlling and Sword-Defending Technique of the Western Peak Elder. She is another extremely talented female disciple of the Green Mysterious Sect after Liu Zijin of the Fifth Peak and the Silent Junior Sister of the Sixth Peak.”
Senior Sister Jiang Zhi, like enumerating family treasures, reported the name, origin, spiritual bone, and the practice she was good at the girl on the stage.
　　For this Seven Peaks Competition, she had done all the preparations she could.
　　“Sister Zijin…”
　　Thinking of Liu Zijin, Xu Taiping’s heart couldn’t help but be filled with regret.
　　Especially, when thinking that the Liu Zijin sisters were just sacrifices for the Sect Leader to break the Dao heart of Peak Master Shen of the Fifth Peak, this kind of regret became even stronger.
　　“Zhu Shining, pay respects to Elder Black Dragon.”
　　At this time, Zhu Shining’s voice, full of confidence and vitality, came from the stage.
　　The eyes of several people then looked over in unison.
　　Everyone wanted to see how many catties of iron the new genius girl of Qingxuan could suspend this time.
　　“Zhu Shining of West Peak, what weight of ship-pressing iron do you want to choose？”
　　The voice of Elder Black Dragon rang out at this time.
　　“Well… Elder Black Dragon, let me think about it.”
　　Zhu Shining didn’t seem to have made up her mind, so she asked Elder Black Dragon playfully.
　　“When the sand in the hourglass runs out, if you haven’t thought it through, you’re out.”
　　Elder Black Dragon flipped an hourglass expressionlessly.
　　“Uh-huh.”
　　Zhu Shining nodded repeatedly.
　　“The wind-attribute strange bone in the golden spirit bone. It is said that when using a sword, the burden of this kind of spirit bone is more than 50% less than that of an ordinary golden spirit bone, and it is many times stronger than an ordinary spirit bone. I estimate that this little girl can suspend at least 300 catties of iron.”
　　Just as Zhu Shining was making her choice, Zhao Linglong inferred while looking at her back.
　　“Practicing sword for one year and being able to suspend 300 catties… or more？”
　　Xu Taiping was a little surprised.
　　He had only managed to suspend 300 catties of iron by risking damage to his divine soul.
　　“As long as one is not too dull, it is possible to achieve this with the wind-attribute strange bone in the golden spirit bone.”
　　Jiang　Zhi　nodded.
If it’s 300 catties, I should also be able to do it reluctantly.
　　Fifth Senior Sister Wu Mo said at this time.
　　She was an extremely shy woman, and just by saying this one sentence, her face was already as red as a beetroot.
　　“Well, then it will be up to Senior Sister you to fight at that time.”
　　Zhao Linglong smiled and took Senior Sister Wu Mo’s hand.
　　“Black Dragon Elder, I have made my choice.”
　　Just when the hourglass was about to run out, Zhu Shining’s voice rang out again.
　　“Speak.”
　　The Black Dragon Elder’s eyes narrowed slightly, his hands were crossed over his chest, and he said without even raising his head.
　　“I want the hanging iron to be five hundred catties！”
　　Zhu Shining stretched out her palm and smiled brightly.
　　Upon hearing this, the Black Dragon Elder’s half-closed eyes suddenly opened wide, and then he confirmed to Zhu Shining with a serious face：
　　“Have you thought it through？”
　　Zhu Shining nodded seriously and said：
　　“Thought　it　through！”
　　As soon as these words were spoken, the disciples on the viewing platform of the Western Zhou Cloud Tower were in an uproar, and even several of Zhu Shining’s senior brothers had expressions of surprise on their faces at this time.
　　Obviously, even they hadn’t expected that their little junior sister would directly choose the hanging iron of five hundred catties.
The brothers and sisters of the seven peaks all had brows.
　　“Don’t worry too much, she just chose five hundred catties, not necessarily…”
　　“Zheng！… ”
　　Jiang Zhi had just wanted to comfort everyone with a sentence, but before the words were finished, she was interrupted by a sword chirping sound.
　　Looking up, I saw that Zhu Shining from the Western Peak had already activated her flying sword and broke through the air. And on that flying sword, a single piece of five-hundred-jin ship-pressing iron was hung.
　　It’s not added one piece at a time, but a whole piece is hung directly, indicating that this weight is still not the limit for her.
　　“The young people nowadays are all so powerful. In the past, it took us three years to suspend one or two hundred catties of iron when we practiced swordsmanship, and it was very difficult to increase even one catty after that.”
　　Wu Mo, the fifth senior sister with a dumbfounded expression, muttered to herself with envy in her tone.
　　“Fifth junior sister, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. If she really succeeds in engraving the characters, you can admit defeat directly this time, and there are still us behind.”
　　Jiang Zhi patted Wu Mo’s shoulder.
　　“No.”
　　Wu Mo, who has always obeyed Jiang Zhi’s words, this time shook her head stubbornly and said： “Whether I can defeat that little girl or not, I want to do my part for our Qifeng and for the Peak Master. Back then, if it weren’t for the Peak Master, I, a skeleton, wouldn’t have the qualifications to go up the mountain at all.”
　　Although Wu Mo has been guarding the medicine garden and flower garden all year round, she has also heard about some disputes in Qingxuan Sect. So she knows that the position of the leader in this Qifeng Competition is very important for whether the Peak Master can be rescued.
　　Jiang Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded and said：
　　“Just do your best at that time.”
　　She didn’t persuade Wu Mo anymore.
　　“Sou！”
　　Also at this time, Zhu Ningshi finished engraving the seven-character regulated poem on the cliff wall in one go, and then took back the flying sword.
　　During the whole process, among the crowd, not the slightest bit of fatigue could be seen on her face, let alone the symptoms of the soul weeping syndrome.
　　“West Peak, Zhu Shining, hung an iron of five hundred catties.”
　　After confirming that the engraved characters were correct, Elder Black Dragon loudly announced to the crowd.
　　“Sister Linglong of the Seventh Peak, dare you come to fight？”
Amidst a flurry of exclamations, the Girl Zhu Ningshi suddenly raised the sword in her hand and pointed it proudly at Zhao Linglong.
