#414 - Iron Ring
Xia Huai rescued Lü Ping immediately. On the other side, Lu Jing also acted in time, holding down Cheng Guan, allowing all the members of the Sitianjian to successfully pass the test without being controlled by the night raven.
However, their troubles had only just begun.
Cheng Guan didn't even have time to wipe the remaining wine from his face when three burly dwarves suddenly jumped out, shouting, "This is outrageous! We can't stand to watch this anymore! How can anyone bully people like this!"
As they spoke, they each took out an iron ring from their pockets. They grabbed the ends of the ring with both hands and let out a "呔" sound. Incredibly, they conjured another iron ring from the first one.
Then, they repeated the process, turning the two rings into four, four into eight, and eight into sixteen.
Next, they grabbed two of the iron rings at random and gently touched them together, miraculously causing the edge of one ring to pass through the edge of the other, interlocking with each other and ultimately forming three chains, which they swung towards Lu Jing and the others!
The chains looked incredibly powerful, and when swung, they resembled three angry dragons churning the seas.
Seeing this, a disciple of the academy immediately stepped forward!
Because he didn't have a suitable weapon at hand, he directly grabbed his desk and met the three iron chains head-on. The moment the desk and the iron chains collided, the academy disciple released his inner force.
The three fierce and aggressive angry dragons immediately began to retreat. Just as they were about to fly back into their masters' hands, the three dwarves suddenly flicked their wrists, causing the three chains to merge into one, interlocking with each other and transforming into a giant dragon.
They combined the strength of the three of them to resist the internal energy coming from the other end of the chain, and became entangled with the academy disciple, evenly matched for a time.
The trio's actions seemed to be a signal of sorts, causing others around them to become restless.
Those people weren't completely bewitched by the night raven and wanted to uphold justice. The vast majority had the same idea as Qi Xiu earlier, wanting to take this opportunity to show off their skills in front of Zhu Jie.
After all, the reason they entered the palace was nothing more than for wealth and glory.
However, Qi Xiu's previous experience had also sounded a warning bell for them, making them realize that this group of people was not a soft persimmon to be easily manipulated. If they didn't step on this stepping stone carefully, they might fall into an abyss.
That's why they chose to stand still until the three dwarves confronted the academy disciple, making them realize that not all eight members of the Sitianjian were as strong as Lü Ping.
So, before long, someone else couldn't help but take action, grabbing a wine pot from the table, pouring half a mouthful of wine into his throat, and then spitting it out.
The wine transformed into a sharp arrow after leaving his lips, shooting towards the academy disciple.
But the academy disciple reacted quickly, withdrawing from the table in time and taking half a step back, dodging the wine arrow.
Then, with a tap of his foot, his body folded back like a swallow, striking the man's chest with a punch.
He was quite confident in his lightness skill. Among the current disciples of the academy, apart from Lu Jing and a few core disciples from top sects, no one could surpass him in lightness skill.
However, to his surprise, the man didn't dodge or evade when he attacked. Instead, he pulled out a rope and hurriedly threw it into the air, and then an incredible thing happened.
The rope didn't fall down, but instead became a straight line, pointing straight up, and the man, like a nimble monkey, used his hands and feet to climb up the roof along the rope.
The academy disciple was also stunned by what he saw.
Apart from the three dwarves and the rope-playing man, the others in the hall also began to show their special skills. Fortunately, most of these people were still using martial arts combined with some Jianghu tricks.
At first glance, they were indeed quite intimidating, and one might be injured if they weren't careful, but their tricks weren't as exaggerated as those of the Donghua Zhenren and his disciple. Especially with the help of magic from the academy disciples, once they got serious, the foreign barbarians who wanted to pick up a bargain soon began to retreat.
Lü Ping alone, after casting a lightness spell on himself and combining it with a Dust Sand Spell, beat more than a dozen opponents until they were crying for their parents.
After a series of tests, the other academy disciples also regained the upper hand.
Seeing this scene, Huoxing Sun's hands were also itching. He let out a strange laugh and rushed towards Cheng Guan, but after running a few steps, he suddenly stopped and shrank his head.
However, he was still a step too slow, or rather, in front of that palm, most people in this world would slow down.
Lu Jing found Yan Jun's palm strike somewhat familiar. It was clearly the Yunxiao Benlei Palm, a unique skill of the Yunshui Jingci Pavilion that the girl had used during their previous sparring.
When the palm moved, it was like a thunderous dragon descending from the nine heavens, coming and going without a trace, making it impossible for people to avoid!
Even Lu Jing could only choose to withstand it head-on when facing this martial art, let alone Huoxing Sun.
His neck had only shrunk halfway when Yan Jun's palm had already touched the top of his head. However, there was no deep hatred between the two, and Yan Jun didn't use a deadly move. This palm probably only used less than 30% of her power.
However, when it landed on the top of Huoxing Sun's head, it seemed to pass through Huoxing Sun's skull easily, and then shattered half of the latter's head.
However, instead of brain matter and blood spurting out of his shattered half of the head, it was a ball of flame.
The alcohol content of wine in this era is very low and non-flammable, instantly extinguishing most of the flame on his body.
Huoxing Sun let out a miserable cry, and the whole person visibly shrank in size. Because the flame had become smaller, he could no longer transform back into his previous human form, and hurriedly fled to the side.
But just as he took a step, Yan Jun's Yunxiao Benlei Palm came again. This time, Yan Jun used at least 80% of her power. The strong palm wind directly blew the flame away, not only protecting her own palm, but also forcing Huoxing Sun to retreat.
Then, Yan Jun didn't rush to strike again, but nodded in the direction of Lu Jing, "Thanks."
"You're welcome, just a little effort."
