Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 304

[Chapter 304: One Sword]

Lin Xiu’s room.

Lin Xiu was lying on the floor beside the bed. A slender and white arm stretched down from the bed beside him. Lin Xiu held her hand together, and a trace of coldness spread from her palm to Lin Xiu’s body.

Lingyin was trying to use this method to make Lin Xiu’s ability recover faster.

For this reason, she even stayed in the same room with him all night.

Lin Xiu lost his ability, and she cared more about

it than Lin Xiu himself. This made Lin Xiu feel a little guilty. After all, he pretended to lose his ability, but he had to pretend, otherwise, Dayu would find out that there was something wrong with him.

However, although Dayu had no good intentions, he indirectly did a good thing.

If it weren’t for this incident, how could he hold Lingyin’s little hand like this?

It was her main request.

In order to prevent the two people from loosening their hands after falling asleep, she also tied their hands together with a rope.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiu couldn’t help laughing.

Lingyin’s voice came from the bed: “It’s already late, you still feel like laughing?”

Lin Xiu calmed down and said, “Anyway, it has already happened. Even if you are sad, it won’t help. Why can’t you be happy?”

Zhao Lingyin curled her lips and said, “You are open-minded.”

Lin Xiu smiled and said, “Go to bed early. There will be a competition tomorrow.”

The next morning, Lin Xiu was woken up by Lingyin. He opened his eyes and saw her lying on the bed. He asked expectantly, “How is it? Has your ability recovered?”

Lin Xiu felt it, shook his head, and said, “No.”

Since Dayu thought his ability had disappeared, he might as well take advantage of it and give them a surprise.

Lingyin asked with some disappointment, “Is there no effect at all?”

Lin Xiu didn’t want to hit her, and said, “It seems to recover faster than myself.”

Lingyin’s eyes lit up when she heard this, and said, “It’s good that it works. I’ll come over again in the evening!”

Lin Xiu naturally had no objection to this, but poor Ning’er, I’m afraid she should cry…

Today is the first day of the competition. After having breakfast in the castle, everyone went to the venue of the competition together.

Originally, the five great dynasties and their neighboring countries each had 200 places, with a total of 1,000 people participating in the competition.

However, in the past six months, due to various accidents, the actual number of participants was often less than 1,000. For example, one genius was assassinated in each of the three countries of the Western Region, Nanyue, and Beimang, and the Earth-level seed of Beimang is still in prison.

The other countries also have similar special circumstances.

There are 986 participants in this competition.

Zhao Lingjun was the first in the last Tianjiao list. Naturally, she ranked first in this competition. After that, Dayou, Daluo, Daluo, and Daying ranked first in the small competition.

According to this order, Lin Xiu ranked sixth.

Most people had to draw lots on the spot and came earlier than Lin Xiu and his friends. The rules of the draw were the same as in Daxia. After the number of lots was drawn and recorded, it could not be changed.

But between the draw and the record, there was a very short period of time, and there was still subtle room for operation.

If someone was unlucky enough to draw the Tianjiao in front and didn’t want to be eliminated in the first round, they could wait until the next person was drawn and exchanged with him. This is what Lin Xiu and Princess Minghe did at the beginning.

It’s just that others won’t be so kind, and this will inevitably involve some exchange of interests. Whether it’s a big competition or a small competition, this situation cannot be completely eliminated. The five countries are only eyeing the top ten positions, or even the top five of the ten positions. For these things that don’t affect the overall situation, they have always turned a blind eye.

In this competition, Dayou has been targeting Lin Xiu everywhere, which is almost known to everyone. The

most powerful dynasty on the continent uses such means to target a person, which seems to be damaging to its reputation, but in the face of huge interests, these are nothing.

Not only Dayou, even Daluo, who is on good terms with Daxia, did not take any action.

On the one hand, the rules of the competition have been set long ago. Although someone took advantage of the loophole, it is also within the rules. Moreover, although the venue of the competition is in Daluo, the people responsible for various matters of the competition are drawn from the alliance of various countries, and Daluo cannot affect them.

On the other hand, Daxia has enough Zhao Lingjun, so there is no need to have another Lin Xiu. It is also a good thing for them to have one less person competing for the top ten or even the top five positions.

In the crowd somewhere, a young genius from a small country looked at the number he had drawn and his face showed ecstasy.

His number was six. Under normal circumstances, he would have considered himself unlucky and given up the competition, but this time was different. This lot was worth 10,000 taels of silver.

He gave a look to a hook-nosed man waiting beside him. The man understood and immediately walked behind him and quickly drew a lot. The two exchanged the wooden sticks. An official with a Western face in the Alliance of Nations who was responsible for recording glanced at them and said nothing…

…

Before the competition started, Lin Xiu and others sat on a stand.

Zhao Lingjun, Qianye Lin, Ning’er and Qin Wan were all beside him, but he shook hands with Lingyin.

And no one thought there was anything wrong with this.

Everyone knew that it was Lingyin who was helping him recover his abilities. Only when Lin Xiu’s abilities were restored could he get a better ranking and gain greater glory for Daxia. At the moment, nothing was more important than this matter, so there was no need to care about these red tapes.

At this time, even in front of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Lin Xiu dared to hold Lingyin’s hand.

At a certain moment, an official from Daxia came over and said with a sullen face: “I have already found out that your opponent is a fire attribute genius of the earth level in Dayu. He deliberately exchanged signs with others. Dayu used it to target you…”

Although Lin Xiu had lost his special skills and his martial arts strength was weakened by the rules, he could still deal with most opponents. Even if they were gold, earth, wind and other heavenly special skills, there was no need to worry about him. But when he

encountered a fire attribute earth level, he lost his ability and was just a pure warrior. It was difficult for him to get close to his opponent and he would fall into a very passive situation.

When it comes to the most hated abilities of warriors, the fire special skills must be ranked at the top.

Every step of Dayu was targeting him.

Most people looked worried, only Xue Ning’er and Qin Wan were full of confidence in Lin Xiu. No one knew better than them what kind of people their husbands were, and Zhao Lingjun’s expression was indifferent from beginning to end.

Lingyin held Lin Xiu’s hand slightly harder and asked, “Are you confident?”

Lin Xiu looked at her and asked with a smile, “Why, are you afraid that I will lose?”

Zhao Lingyin glared at him and said, “You’d better lose!”

After that, she “Pooh” a few times.

At this time, there were already bursts of drums in the distance, and this national competition officially began.

Figures walked in from outside the venue. Lin Xiu saw the Dayou twins, the fourth prince, and the blonde woman she met yesterday. When she saw Lin Xiu, she also threw him a wink.

Zhao Lingyin glanced at Lin Xiu and asked, “See? Beautiful women are troublemakers. If you had stayed away from her yesterday, your ability would not have disappeared.”

Lin Xiu said innocently, “She came to me yesterday. Her target was me. No matter where I go, she will find me.”

Lingyin curled her lips and said, “I don’t care. Anyway, remember my words. Stay away from beautiful women you don’t know in the future. Who knows what they are thinking…”

When the fourth prince passed by Lin Xiu, he stopped and smiled, “I hope you won’t be eliminated in the first game. I look forward to meeting you again, and then defeating you in an upright manner.” Lin Xiu

looked at him and asked, “Do you, Dayou, have any misunderstandings about being upright?”

The fourth prince didn’t say anything else. He sneered and left proudly.

The competition was also divided into ten venues. Lin Xiu and others were in the first training ground. The dramatic scene was that the top five in this game, from Zhao Lingjun to a Tianjiao who won the big win, all their opponents announced their defeat before the competition. They didn’t even need to go on the court.

This was not surprising in the competition.

It is said that in one competition, the opponents of the top 20 geniuses all admitted defeat at the same time.

Although the competition among the nations is not a fight of life and death, it is not a game of house. It is possible to enter the field upright and leave the field horizontally, and even to be killed, injured or disabled. Since they cannot win, they might as well admit defeat.

So it happened that Lin Xiu ranked sixth and was the first to enter the field.

His opponent did not admit defeat.

He was a man with an eagle nose, a ground-level fire attribute magician, who looked much older than Lin Xiu. Dayou was strong and had the most resources. In addition, they liked to plunder talents from other countries. Talents who could enter the top 20 in Daxia might barely enter the top 50 in Dayou.

Their existence also brought some variables to the competition.

The geniuses from other countries who ranked high and did not have to draw lots may not be able to rest easy. They may encounter opponents who are stronger than them in the first round. This is also an encouragement and urging for them to practice at any time.

This competition is also the most watched competition today.

Lin Xiu is a genius who emerged from nowhere in Daxia, but he was targeted by Dayou in the competition. He is likely to be eliminated in the first few games. Compared with the rise of geniuses, what irrelevant people like to watch most is the fall of geniuses.

In the audience seats of Daxia, most people looked worried. On the other hand,

people in Dayou were talking and laughing.

The blonde woman looked at the field and asked, “Will Luca be his opponent?”

The fourth prince said, “You will know after watching it.”

Although there is still a big gap between him and the man with the hooked nose, he is not weak among the people in Dayou. He is probably in the upper middle level. But even if Lin Xiu’s strength is only 30%, it will be difficult for him to beat Lin Xiu. The

fourth prince did not place his hopes on him.

He just wanted to see what other means Lin Xiu had when he had no special skills and could only use wooden weapons. If he met him, how should he deal with it…

On the field, Lin Xiu and the hooked nose man were ten feet apart.

At the beginning of the competition, the man turned the five-meter range around him into a sea of fire. Facing Lin Xiu, Dayou’s strategy for them was to never, never, never let him get close to them.

Once he got close to them, they would definitely lose.

After setting up a layer of defensive barriers, he was very calm. While forcing Lin Xiu, he looked at Lin Xiu with a smile on his face, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Zhao Lingjun’s husband, the Tianjiao who defeated the four princes, will he lose to him today?

This battle is his battle to become famous.

Lin Xiu held a wooden sword in his hand.

This is just an ordinary wooden sword. Even if it is infused with true energy and becomes extremely hard, it is still wood, which will burn when it encounters fire.

Facing the hook-nosed man who was protected in the sea of fire, Lin Xiu only made one move.

He held the sword in one hand and slashed it out.

A deep crack spread from the ground to the sea of fire, and the raging sea of fire was split in half. In the sea of fire, something seemed to fly out.

The hook-nosed man turned around and saw that it was his arm that flew out.

The severe pain in his arm and the shock in his heart made him run a few steps quickly. When he saw the man opposite him raised his sword again, his scalp tingled. He no longer had the smugness just now and shouted, “I admit defeat, I admit defeat!”

On the ring, there was complete silence, and countless people couldn’t help but stand up.

One sword.

Just one sword.

Without using any ability, a wooden sword split the sea of fire and cut off the arm of the strong man from Dayu, nearly ten feet away. Is this the strength of Zhao Lingjun’s husband…

What did Dayu do?

If he could use special skills, the strong man from Dayu would lose, but he wouldn’t lose so miserably, at least his arm wouldn’t be broken. It was they who forced Lin Xiu to this point with their own hands…

It can be foreseen that the opponents he will meet next will have to rely on themselves…
