　　Although Qingxiao and Ziyan had already said before that this Lu Yuan was the focus of attention of each peak this time, Zhao Linglong still wanted to confirm it reluctantly.
　　”As far as I can see now, if there was no match with that Tian Qi in the previous round, Taiping might still have a three or four out of ten chance, but now, I’m afraid there is not even a two out of ten chance.”
　　Du Gu Qingxiao said with a solemn expression.
　　This was his judgment based on Xu Taiping’s performance last time and combined with what he knew about Lu Yuan’s cultivation strength.
　　”Taiping’s luck is really a bit bad.”
　　Ziyan also nodded at this time and let out a soft sigh.
　　”We from the Sixth Peak have observed this Lu Yuan for quite some time. Although he has white spiritual bones, relying on the financial resources of his family, he has never been short of various spiritual grasses and elixirs since childhood. His cultivation has now reached the middle stage of the Kai Men Realm. And the Burning Sun Saber he practices is a rare family-inherited martial art. You know, Tian Qi’s Ghost Shadow Foot is only considered a top-notch martial art.”
　　She　then　explained.
　　Zhao Linglong’s expression of worry on her face immediately became even stronger upon hearing this.
　　“Don’t think too much. Based on Taiping’s performance in that match just now, I can also persuade Master to take him into the Seventh Peak.”
　　Qing Xiao comforted Zhao Linglong.
　　“Wouldn’t all of Little Taiping’s efforts in these three years be in vain？”
Zhao Linglong looked at the figure of the young person standing in front of the notice board in the bronze mirror, and her eyes were filled with regret.
　　“Senior Brother, did you see the scars on his arm？ Look carefully. The new scars are overlapping the old ones. They must be the injuries he suffered during his cultivation over the years.”
　　“For an ordinary Green Ox Fist, he was actually able to cultivate it to that extent. He must have expended a great deal of effort, and what he desires is only to become a formal disciple.”
　　“And just because he is only a white bone and has no family background at all, three years of hard work and effort will all be in vain. Isn’t it too unfair to him？”
　　At the end of her words, Zhao Linglong bit her lip and turned to look at Du Gu Qing Xiao.
If it were before she saw Xu Taiping’s competition, she might have thought that bringing him to the Seventh Peak would be the best choice. But at this moment, when she thought of the countless efforts of this young person in the past three years is about to become empty, a strong sense of unwillingness arose in her heart.
　　She felt this way, not to mention Xu Taiping himself？
　　However, Zhao Linglong definitely didn’t know that everything she saw in Xu Taiping was just the tip of the iceberg of what Xu Taiping had endured in the past three years.
　　“I don’t think he will lose.”
　　Just then, Lin Buyu, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.
　　Upon hearing this, several people looked at her in surprise.
　　“Buyu, why did you suddenly say that？”
　　Ziyan looked at Lin Buyu with some confusion.
　　Sometimes she really couldn’t figure out what was going on in her little junior sister’s mind.
　　“Intuition.”
　　Lin Buyu looked at the three people indifferently, and then continued to look at the bronze mirror.
The scene of the young person falling from the sky in the red maple forest and punching the demon tiger was still clearly in her mind.
In her opinion, the young person who had the courage to face the demon alone could never stop here.
　　However, when Ziyan and the others asked, Lin Buyu became silent again. No matter how they asked, she just wouldn’t say a word.
　　“The competition seems to be about to start.”
　　Finally, the attention of Qingxiao and the others was attracted by the scene of Xu Taiping and Lu Yuan stepping onto the stage together in the bronze mirror.
　　“Wait a minute, is Taiping going to use a knife in this match？ Does he know how to use a knife？”
　　And when they saw Xu Taiping untie the cloth strip on his hand and instead put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, surprise appeared on the faces of several people at the same time, and even Lin Buyu was no exception.
　　……
　　In front of the Longmen Hall.
　　On the No. 1 Tian character arena.
　　”Junior Brother Xu, the last match was really an eye-opener.”
　　A young man in white smiled and cupped his hands towards Xu Taiping.
　　”Brother Lu is laughing at me.”
　　Xu　Taiping　smiled.
　　The person in front of him was naturally Lu Yuan, his opponent in this match.
“Just now I wanted to come forward and get to know Brother Taiping, but I didn’t expect to be drawn as an opponent in this match. What a pity. If only we could step onto the arena of the Seven Summit Conference together.”
　　Lu Yuan said with some regret.
　　Xu Taiping could see that, at least from the expression of speaking, Lu Yuan’s words did not seem to be insincere.
　　Of course, he would not be so simple as to relax his vigilance just because of the other party’s words of recognition.
　　In his opinion, once on this arena, there are only opponents, no friends.
　　”If the two of you are ready, the match can begin.”
　　At this time, the invigilator on the arena reminded the two of them.
　　”The Green Ox Fist of Junior Brother Xu in the last match was wonderful. It made me itch to show my skills. Finally, I have the opportunity to ask for advice in this match.”
　　As Lu Yuan spoke, he took two steps back and assumed a stance as if ready to draw his saber from its sheath.
　　“I’m afraid I’m going to disappoint Senior Brother Lu.”
　　At this time, Xu Taiping also took a few steps back, then placed his hand on the handle of the long saber at his waist and continued：
　　“In this match, I will use a saber.”
　　“You… use a saber？”
　　Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, suspecting that he had misheard.
　　It was true that Xu Taiping had a saber hanging at his side, but he had hardly ever used it.
　　Abandoning his most proficient boxing technique and instead using a saber.
　　Not only couldn’t Lu Yuan figure it out, but the cultivators around the arena were also in an uproar, completely not understanding why Xu Taiping would give up his Green Ox Fist.
　　After several matches, because of the amazing performance of the Green Ox Fist, everyone had almost tacitly agreed that it was Xu Taiping’s unique skill. Some people even began to guess that the Green Ox Fist manual that Xu Taiping practiced was different from the one they cultivated.
　　And it should be known that the Lu Yuan standing in front of him at this moment had cultivated the martial arts unique skill, Fiery Sun Saber. Wasn’t this equivalent to hitting a stone with an egg？
　　Many people thought that Xu Taiping was just bluffing.
　　They all felt that when the match started, he would definitely use the Green Ox Fist again.
