454: Still the both of us 454: Still the both of us Editor: Exodus Tales 眼看着两个强手都选了寇威,方镇无奈,扬声道:”不知哪位愿意援手?” Seeing Lu Mingshu and Xie Lianzhen both choosing to be on Kou Wei’s side, Fang Zhen looked slightly resigned.

He turned to the crowd and increased his volume.

“Is there anyone who is willing to render a helping hand?” 他本想着,有了凌无瑕,若能争取到谢廉贞,就是自己这边占优,没想到谢廉贞一点也不顾及形象.此消彼涨,他心中一算,己方实力落后甚多.

He wanted to have Ling Wuxia and Xie Lianzhen on his side, which would surely benefit him.

Fang Zhen have never thought that Xie Lianzhen cared nothing about his reputation.

Looking at the members on Kou Wei’s side, he did a quick calculation and realise that he is at a disadvantage now.

同门倒是不必担心,虽然寇威名声更盛,但他在门中的人缘还略微占优.只是他太懒了,很少出去交际,别派弟子识得不多,远远不及寇威.

He is not worried about going against his Juniors or seniors.

Even though Kou Wei has higher popularity in Ancient China, Fang Zhen is still more popular in the Heavenly Sea Pavillion.

He is just too lazy to get out of the sect to make friends, thus Kou Wei has more friends from the other sects in comparison to him.

是以,方镇这一喊,自己也没抱多少希望.

And Fang Zhen did not expect to receive much when he asked for help.

不想,他话音一落,便有一个女声响起:”方师兄若是不嫌弃,我愿意同行.” Out of his expectation, he received a reply immediately.

“If Senior brother Fang doesn’t mind, I am willing to follow you.” 众人顺着声音看去,就见离此不近的海桥上,站起来一名女子.

The crowd looked over to where the voice came from.

Somewhere not far away from the stage, a woman stood up.

方镇微讶:”姑娘是…” Fang Zhen look at her, slightly shocked.

“May I know…” “登文薛家,薛意.” “Dengwen Xue Family’s Xue Yi.” 薛意突然站起,许先生惊了惊,低呼:”大小姐?” Sir Xu looked at her in shock.

“Elder Miss?” He called out.

薛意侧头给了他一个安抚的眼神,便长袖一展,数点光芒飞出,化出一朵朵红莲,她伸足一踏,踩着红莲往主座飞去.

Xue Yi nodded, signalling for him to be at ease.

She waved her sleeve and sparks could be seen forming a giant red lotus flower.

She stepped onto the lotus flower and made her way to the Main table.

随手而为的妙法,行云流水的姿态,吸引了众多的目光.

A graceful and light special skill has caught many eyes.

有人叹道:”登文薛家虽然不是什么大世家,但薛意是真的出类拔萃.” “The Dengwen Xue family might not be a huge aristocratic family, but Xue Yi is indeed outstanding.” Somebody sighed.

“可不是?女子之中,除了凌无瑕,就是薛意了吧?” “I know right?

Among the female disciples, other than Ling Wuxia, Xue Yi is the best.” 却有人插了句话:”不是还有陆明舒吗?” “There’s still Lu Mingshu.” Somebody interfered.

先前两人一默.谈论起本代女弟子,无论是谁,第一个都会想到凌无瑕,她成名已经十几年,形象深入人心.而陆明舒,说起来,成名也不晚,上届麒麟会至今已有七年,但她一鸣惊人后,便消失足足六年,很多人以为她只是颗流星,论事哪会带上她?

The other two remained silent.

When people talk about female disciple, Ling Wuxia would be the first one that comes to their mind.

She has been famous for many years, and many had her names carved inside their memory.

As for Lu Mingshu, she has gotten famous from the previous Qilin festival, which occurred seven years ago.

But after that, she went missing.

Thus she was almost forgotten from their mind.

何况,她的行事风格,在别人看来,更像是一个搅局者.把她算在女弟子行列里,总觉得哪里不对.

Moreover, her style of handling matters makes her seem more like someone who’s here to mess rather than a female disciple.

~It just feels weird to include her as a female disciple.~ 可把她排除出去,也不对啊!她是女的吧?她是个玄门弟子吧?既然都是,为什么不能算呢?

~But we shouldn’t exclude her!

She’s a female and from a sect.

But why do we not include her?~ 要是算,问题又来了,她跟凌无瑕,到底谁排在前面?若是之前,哪怕她得了新秀榜榜首,大多数人也会认为凌无瑕更强.可她失踪归来,入出神,传秘法,血洗九瑶宫,谁还能把她当成寻常意义的出神境?

Here comes the problem.

Is Lu Mingshu or Ling Wuxia better?

She might be the previous New Ranking’s champion.

But most still feel that Ling Wuxia is stronger.

However, when she returned after years, she came back, already broken through, spreading the Secret techniques and washing the Nine Jade Palace with blood.

Who would still take her as a normal spirit realm?

不得不承认,以陆明舒先前展露出来的身手,或许要比凌无瑕强些.

It’s impossible to not admit that the skills Lu Mingshu showed might have overtaken Ling Wuxia.

这可真是个让人不愿意接受的现实.

This is a reality that nobody wants to accept.

承认陆明舒的强大,也就是承认了古夏即将为之颠覆的未来.

Admitting to Lu Mingshu’s ability is admitting to the change in Ancient China’s future.

“多谢姑娘伸出援手.”方镇的的语气带着些微感激.

“Miss, thank you so much for your help.” Fang Zhen said with slight gratitude.

薛意道:”虽则同行,最后仍要各夺彩头,这个谢字就免了吧.”她说这番话时,面容含笑,语气轻快,让人听着十分顺耳,其他人不由会心一笑.

“Even though it is going to be a journey together, we are all going to go for the prize so there’s no need to thank me.” Xue Yi said in all smiles.

She sounded so cool that it made the crowd laugh.

随后,又有不少人加入,两小队人数很快上涨.

Not after long, more and more volunteered themselves and both teams have acquired more members.

到最后点数,两队各有十来人,合起来破了三十.

At last, they stopped more than thirty participants, with about twenty participants on each team/ 换句话说,接下来能欣赏到三十多位出神境同台竞技!

Which means that the crowd would be able to witness more than thirty spirit realms competing on the same stage!

众人想到这点,不免热血沸腾起来.就算是古夏第一大武会盛事,那也是一对一较技,哪有这么大的场面?

Thinking about this, the crowd felt can’t help but feel excited.

Even if it’s the biggest event in Ancient China, they would not get to see such a huge scene.

组好了队,方镇扬声道:”诸位,入阵之前,在下有几句话.” After they have settled in teams, Fang Zhen increased his volume again.

“Everyone, before we enter, I have a few words.

” 海桥上安静下来.

The crowd turned silent.

只听他道:”既有比试,就有规矩.我们且约法三章,如何?” “Since it’s a competition, we should have rules.

How about we set three rules?” 寇威笑道:”却不知是哪三章?” “What are the three rules?” Kou Wei laughed.

方镇伸出一根手指:”其一,点到为止,不伤和气.” Fang Zhen raised a finger.

“Firstly, there should not be injuries.” 寇威点点头:”应该的.” Kou Wei nodded.

“Of course.” “其二,虽然分为两队,但领队的指令可听可不听,彩头各凭本事,输赢无怨.” “Secondly, we might be in teams but it’s up to oneself if he or she wishes to follow the leader’s instruction.

No one should take the blame for the result.” 其他人互视,都暗暗点头.彩头只有那些,如果分成两队较技,显然不可能每个人都分得.

The participants looked at each other, happy with the rule.

There is not much prize if they have to split it among their team mate’s it would be inadequate.

“至于其三嘛,”方镇想了想,露齿一笑,”我还没想好.” “As for the third rule,” Fang Zhen paused for a moment before smiling cheekily.

“It still has yet to be decided.” 众人都笑了起来.

The crowd burst out in laughter.

程掌门笑眯眯道:”不过是个乐子,这样就够了.行了,准备好就开始吧,大家都久等了.” Sect Leader cheng laughed.

“It’s just for entertainment, this is good enough.

Start when you are ready, everyone can’t wait any longer.” 方镇点点头,询问的目光看向寇威:”寇师兄?” Fang Zhen nodded and turned to Kou Wei.

“Senior brother Kou?” 寇威含笑,扫视过众人:”没问题我们就开始了?” Kou Wei smiled thinly before turning to his teammates.

“We shall start if everything is alright?” “开始开始!” “Okay!” 两队分别在寇威和方镇的带领下,去了五龙玄水阵左右两个入口.

Under Kou Wei and Fang Zhen’s lead, both teams entered the maze.

进阵之前,陆明舒的袖子被人轻轻拉了下.

Before Lu Mingshu entered, somebody tugged on her sleeves lightly.

她一转头,看到的却是齐笙.

She turned back to realise that it was Qi Sheng.

“陆姑娘,”他小声问,”你与我们一道吗?” “Miss Lu,” He lowered down his voice.

“Are you going to come with us?” 陆明舒没给确切答案:”看情况吧.” Lu Mingshu shrugged.

“I’ll see how it goes.” “哦…”齐笙有点失望,想了想又说,”这五龙玄水阵有点复杂,总的来说,变化越多越危险的地方,越有可能是正确的方向.” “Oh…..” Qi Sheng looked down in disappointment.

“Oh yeah, this spell formation is quite confusing.

In fact, the more dangerous and confusing the trail looks, it might more possibly be the right path.” 陆明舒挑了挑嘴角,轻声道:”知道了,多谢.” “Thank you so much.

I have taken note.” Lu Mingshu smiled.

被她一谢,齐笙整个人有点飘,露出一脸傻笑.

Seeing her smile, Qi Sheng is on cloud nine, as he smiled foolishly.

“该进去了!”耳边传来轻飘飘的声音,齐笙一惊回神,看到谢廉贞斜眼看他,似笑非笑的表情,让人心里发毛.

“We should get in!” somebody said in his ear.

Qi Sheng turned back to see Xie Lianzhen staring at him, smiling weirdly.

It sends chills running down his spine.

他飞快道:”那我先进了.陆姑娘,若是有什么不确定的,就来找我们.” “Than I’ll go in first.” He rambled.

“Miss Lu, feel free to come to us whenever you have doubts.

” “好.” “Okay.” 跟在寇威身后进了阵,齐笙突然想到一件事:他谢廉贞又不是陆姑娘的谁,自己干嘛要心虚啊?

Qi Sheng scutter behind Kou Wei and something came to his mind.

~Why am I so guilty?

Xie Lianzhen is not her boyfriend anyway?~ 一进阵,众人自动散开了.

As soon as the participants got into the formation, they parted ways.

十来个人,有五六个跟随寇威一起行动,其他人有的两三人结伴,有的单人独行.

Six followed Kou Wei, while some went together or on their own.

没人来找陆明舒同行,或者说,隐隐有避开她的意思.

But there’s no one who came to pair with Lu Mingshu.

Most of them even tried to avoid her.

她实力强谁都知道,但身上杀气太重,这样的人总是不怎么合群.再说,和她在一起,谁知道自己会不会成为炮灰呢?

Everyone is aware of how strong her ability is.

And she’s too vengeful, so there’s no one who is willing to pair with her.

Furthermore, who knows if she would go mad and just turn them into ashes?

“还是我们一起了.”谢廉贞站在她身边,眉开眼笑的.

“It’s still us.” Xie Lianzhen stood next to her, in all smiles.

陆明舒横了他一眼,一言不发,举目四望.

Lu Mingshu side-eyed him and said nothing.

She turned around instead.

这个五龙玄水阵,颇有称道之处.一进来,四下都是水,连墙壁也是流动的水幕.各种与水有关的术法,被安置在这个法阵里.

The Five Dragon Mystic Water Formation indeed lives up to its name.

When Lu Mingshu entered, there’s water everywhere.

Even the walls are scenes of water flowing.

Many spells related to water are placed inside this formation.

水无常形,是以阵也无常形.随便一个举动,就有可能引发法阵的变化,前路也随之改变.

Water can take many forms, just like this formation.

Any action could cause changes to the formation and the route.

此阵做为迷宫,真是再好不过了.

Indeed a good idea to turn this spell formation into a maze.

与她同时进来的那些人,在初期的试探后,纷纷尝到了这个五龙玄水阵的妙处.有的啧啧称奇,有的一筹莫展.

Those who came in with Lu Mingshu are all in awe or at a lost after seeing how the formation works.

谢廉贞嗤了一声,说道:”天海阁好大的口气!这也是阵?既无易数,又无阵眼,无非就是把各种术法堆到一起,麻烦是麻烦了些,可论起来,根本没什么技术含量!” “The Heavenly Sea Pavillion is proud, huh?

This is called a formation?

They are just putting many different spells together to confuse people.

There isn’t even algebra or core of the spell formation!

There’s not even much technique involve in this!” Xie Lianzhen sneered.
