Mortal Bones

"For the first time in this competition, please invite disciples from the Six Peaks Sect to come on stage to carve words."

After a while, when the disciples from Sixth Peak and Seventh Peak walked onto Jianping, Elder Black Dragon immediately announced the start of the competition.

"Zhou Ao of the Sixth Peak has met the Black Dragon Elder."

Not surprisingly, the first person sent by Liufeng was Zhou Ao, who was the weakest.

"Second senior brother, according to Zhou Ao's cultivation level this time, he can only pick up a hundred kilograms of ballast iron at most, right?"

Zhao Linglong looked at Zhou Aodao who was selecting the ship's iron.

"Judging from the fact that he is not yet able to fly with a sword, the weight of the ship's weight that he can choose is indeed only about one hundred kilograms."

Qingxiao nodded.

"Junior brother, how many kilograms of ballast iron did you hang up yesterday?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Linglong immediately turned to look at Xu Taiping.

"Sixty pounds."

Xu Taiping answered truthfully.

In order to prepare for today's competition, several of their fellow apprentices gathered together at the Seventh Peak's Sword Testing Platform, and then each tried to bear weight on the flying sword. At that time, the ballast iron that Xu Taiping's flying sword could hang on was sixty kilograms.

It's not that he can't hang heavier ballast iron, but after this weight, his head will feel dizzy, his ears will keep buzzing, and he will be unable to control the sword steadily.

According to Senior Brother Qingxiao, this symptom comes from the monk’s soul, which is called Soul Crying.

Because when a monk wields a sword with sword control skills, his soul is actually connected to the sword. If he puts a heavy object on the flying sword without adapting in advance, or causes the flying sword to suffer heavy damage, it will cause soul crying. this symptom.

There is no good way to alleviate 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 monk can control a sword, it will take him two to three years or even longer to fly with a sword.

This is also the reason why this fourth test of the Seven Peaks Competition is called an endurance competition.

Because until the end of this competition, the test is usually about the monk's endurance to the symptoms of soul crying.

"If Zhou Ao's hanging weight is more than 100 kilograms later, Taiping, you can just admit defeat. It's your first time to participate in the Seven Peaks Competition. This is nothing."

Senior sister Jiang Zhi said to Xu Taiping in a soft tone.

"If possible, I still want to give it a try before admitting defeat."

Xu Taiping thought carefully and replied.

He gave up without even trying. He couldn't pass the test in his heart.

"fair enough."

Qing Xiao nodded at this time.

The reason why they asked Xu Taiping to admit defeat directly was because they didn't want the disciples watching other peaks to laugh at him and make a fool of himself. After all, if he couldn't bear the Soul Cry symptoms, he would probably lose his temper. But since Xu Taiping didn't care, they had nothing to worry about. .

"Then let's treat this competition as a training experience. As long as the soul crying doesn't last too long, it won't actually cause any real harm to the soul."

Senior sister Jiang Zhi also had no objection.

"Good job." Zhao Linglong winked at Xu Taiping and whispered.

"Sixth Peak Disciple Zhou Ao, this time I selected a ship weight of 130 kilograms."

At this time, Elder Black Dragon's voice sounded again.

After hearing this, everyone in Seventh Peak looked at each other except Xu Taiping.

"One hundred and thirty pounds, is this kid crazy?"

Zhao Linglong said with a surprised look.

According to their understanding of Zhou Ao, his flying sword can only bear a weight of one hundred kilograms at most. It is obviously not normal to increase the weight to one hundred and thirty kilograms all at once.

Several people looked at the other disciples of Six Peaks.

As a result, they found that the senior sister and several senior brothers of Liufeng also looked surprised.

Obviously, they did not know the weight that Zhou Ao reported to the Black Dragon elders in advance.

"Zhou Ao, could it be that you are angry with me?"

Xu Taiping said with some doubts.

"Although Zhou Ao is a bit mean-mouthed this time, he is not so petty, and he was the one who offended Taiping before."

Zhao Linglong also felt a little surprised.

"Let's see if he can hang up the ballast iron first."

Qingxiao shook his head.

He also didn't understand why Zhou Ao was so hostile to Taiping.

At this moment, Zhou Ao was seen sacrificing the sword he was carrying behind him with a "zheng" sound.

The sword had strong spiritual power fluctuations, and it looked like it was no ordinary thing at first glance.

Then, with a buzzing sound, Zhou Aoyu flew the flying sword to the Black Dragon Elder.

Without saying a word, Elder Black Dragon strung two pieces of shipwreck iron together, one large and one small, and tied them to the flying sword with a thin steel rope.

The moment the ballast iron was attached, the spiritual power fluctuations on the flying sword suddenly became violent, making a constant "buzzing" sound, and the sword body swayed as if it was about to fall.

Zhou Ao, who was controlling the flying sword, began to tremble violently, and the arm pointing the erect sword seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, pressing down bit by bit.

"snort!"

However, as Zhou Ao groaned, and then roared with a ferocious expression, he suddenly raised the hand holding the sword finger again.

Immediately afterwards, the flying sword, which was almost touching the ground, suddenly flew upwards.

Although the flying speed was not fast, he finally flew to the bare spot on the opposite cliff and began to write the Qingxuan Seven Laws one stroke at a time.

"The first of Qingxuan's Seven Laws is that those who fight against each other in the same sect will have their spiritual bones removed and be cast into the secular world!"

Zhou Ao read loudly, while controlling the flying sword, and started writing "swish, swish, swish" on the cliff.

Finally, under the surprised gazes of everyone, Zhou Ao wrote out the complete seven laws.

Even everyone in Liufeng looked surprised. They didn't expect Zhou Ao to be able to hang 130 kilograms of iron this time.

Immediately, there was a "plop" sound, and Zhou Ao, whose clothes were soaked with sweat, suddenly fell to his knees and began to breathe heavily.

To be able to make a Wangyou Realm monk show such fatigue shows how terrifying the pain of soul crying is.

After he calmed down a little, Zhou Ao suddenly raised his head and looked at a cloud tower opposite, with an extremely proud smile on his face.

Following his line of sight, he could see that it was Xu Ziyan and Lin Buyu sitting on the cloud floor at this time.

Then, he turned to look at Xu Taiping's position behind him, and then said with a provocative look:

"Xu Taiping, do you dare to come up and fight!"

Many Qingxuan Sect disciples in Yunlou were familiar with the name Xu Taiping, so after hearing Zhou Ao's words, there was an uproar in Yunlou all around.

He didn't expect that Zhou Ao would also have a problem with Xu Taiping this week.
