Nine Turns of Nirvana

The most terrifying thing about the Eye of the Storm is the crazy storm within it.

People walking among them are like a lone boat sailing through the stormy sea, with the risk of being overturned and smashed to pieces at any time.

But, this is only for others.

The nine red lotus cyclones in Lu Yu's body are equivalent to nine seas of qi. As long as he moves the nine seas of qi at the same time, making them fast and slow, stretching and relaxing, he can calmly deal with such a situation.

Therefore, the Eye of the Storm is the most difficult pass for others, but it is very easy for him. Apart from the dim vision of the world, it has basically no impact.

There were a total of twelve formation gates in the Eye of the Storm. It was easy to find one of them, so Lu Yu found one of them without spending much time.

As soon as he stepped into the formation gate, the dim world suddenly disappeared.

Lu Yu felt his vision distorted for a while, and then he came to a completely unfamiliar scene.

Phase 2 – Capture the flag area.

Lu Yu checked the direction and found that there was a flag fluttering in the wind about two or three miles away from him, so he walked in that direction.

Bang! Bang puzzle! Bang!

As soon as he got close, the armored puppet under his command suddenly opened his eyes and stood up quickly.

It was covered in black armor, with only its eyes hollow, emitting a faint green light. It was over a foot tall, and Lu Yu stood in front of it like a short dwarf.

The armored puppet struck with a sword, and Lu Yu quickly turned around to avoid it.

boom!

Where Lu Yu originally stood, a big crater was created by the giant sword in the hand of the armored puppet.

Lu Yu couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

I didn't expect that such a piece of iron could have such magical power.

He had long heard that the Imperial City God Builder was extremely skilled and unparalleled in the world, and now he could truly experience it for himself.

How can we defeat such a behemoth and fully armed?

Lu Yu had a headache...

However, at this moment, he could no longer think about it slowly, and the armored puppet slashed at him again with a huge black sword.

Lu Yu had no choice but to bite the bullet and start fighting with it.

The Feihong Sword is unsheathed!

The sword energy is everywhere!

After trying all his strength, Lu Yu finally knocked him down, but he was already out of breath from exhaustion.

At this moment, he finally understood the true meaning of this flag-capture game.

A total of four command flags are required to advance to the next stage in the Capture the Flag competition.

Even with the abilities of Xiang Chen, Liu Qianjun and others, if they were to knock down four armored puppets in a row, they would be as tired as a dog. Even if they advanced to the next stage, they would not be able to fight anymore.

Therefore, you must conserve your strength at this stage. The best way to capture the flag is to work with others to knock down the armored puppet. The more people there are, the less effort you have, and then capture the flag in the chaos.

Sure enough, the martial arts competition between these four counties was not just a competition in cultivation.

If the first stage tests perseverance and endurance, then this stage focuses on resourcefulness and timing.

After figuring this out, Lu Yu was no longer anxious.

After taking down the command flag and putting it away, he sat cross-legged and slowly regained his strength.

…

Lu Yu would not have thought that just when he was meditating to regain his strength, everyone outside the court was shocked by his actions.

"What? Gengzi Zero 26 succeeded in capturing the flag?"

"Am I right? It took less than two-quarters of an hour to knock down an armored puppet on your own?"

"It couldn't be that the armored puppet is malfunctioning..."

"If the armored puppet malfunctioned, then he should have succeeded in capturing the flag directly, without spending another two quarters of an hour."

"This Gengzi Zero 26 is so strong! Who is he?"

"However, Gengzi Zero-26 is not moving, which means that he has been very exhausted and should be recovering now."

"Haha, if someone suddenly teleports in front of him now, I wonder if he can keep the command flag that he fought so hard to capture?"

…

Guo Sixiang, the governor of Wuyang County, glanced at Xiang Lijian beside him and suddenly said: "Master Xiang, this Gengzi Zero 26, could he be your son?"

"Master Guo, why do you say this?"

"This person knocked down the armored puppet within two moments. It is difficult for others to have such strength."

"I didn't know Master Guo was so optimistic about my Chen'er." Xiang Lijian smiled, "Others don't have it, so does my Xiang Chen have it?"

Guo Sixiang smiled softly.

"I heard that when your son entered the scene today, he brought a strange-looking sword with him. Although it was not unsheathed, I knew it was definitely of extraordinary quality."

"Is it because your Xiang family spent all your money to build this magical weapon for him?"

"With such a magical weapon at your side, it's not surprising that you are so powerful!"

Hearing this meaningful tone, Xiang Lijian couldn't help but feel shocked.

Could it be that Guo Sixiang already knew about the treasures lent by the third prince to the Xiang family?

How did he know? Where did the news leak out?

His mind was full of doubts, but his face remained calm.

"Lord Guo, you are exaggerating. The Xiang family did make a new weapon for Quan Zi, but the quality is only average."

"It's not like you don't know about our Xiang family's wealth? Liu Qianjun, Hua Zhilan, and Ning Feng are the real wealthy families. Their strength is far better than our Xiang family. When it comes to forging weapons, they must Better than our Xiang family’s!”

"What's more, there is Lu Yu. He holds the famous Feihong Sword in Jiangzuo. That is the real magic weapon!"

"So, I think there is a greater chance that Gengzi Zero 26 is one of these people."

"Is it?"

Guo Sixiang smiled faintly and said nothing.

After a while, another message came.

"Jiazi 303, enter the capture-the-flag area!"

"Yichou 189, enter the capture-the-flag area!"

"Bingyin 865, enter the capture-the-flag area!"

…

Along with this information, the model figures were placed in the second area one by one.

The capture-the-flag area, which originally had only Gengzi Zero-26, gradually became lively.

…

Lu Yu opened his eyes suddenly and turned to look to his left.

He sensed someone approaching from this direction.

After a few breaths, a figure appeared, speeding towards this direction.

Judging from the momentum of his running, this person's cultivation level is probably above the True Yuan realm.

Lu Yu couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly.

In the blink of an eye, the man was much closer. Lu Yu could already see his face clearly. It was the number one genius in Fengming County - Ning Feng!

Ning Feng also saw Lu Yu, with a happy expression on his face.

"Brother Lu, long time no see!"

"how long?"

Lu Yu sat on the ground, looking lazy.

"Last time in Wuyang County, weren't you still at the dock to see me off?"

Ning Feng raised his eyebrows: "You actually knew it was me?"

Lu Yu smiled: "Your aura is easy to identify, maybe because the technique you practice is quite special?"

"Brother Lu, you still really surprise me!"

Ning Feng gave an approving look, then turned to look at the broken armored puppet on the ground, pointed at it and asked, "Did you do this too? Just you?"

Lu Yu sighed lightly.

"This is also the result of Mr. Lu's overestimation of his capabilities. Although he knocked it down, he also paid a heavy price... Since I was caught by Brother Ning, I will learn from it and gain wisdom..."

"Brother Ning, I offer this flag with both hands. After you take it, let's say goodbye. How about that?"

After speaking, Lu Yu handed over the flag.

Unexpectedly, Ning Feng stood there without even moving, with an expression on his face that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

"I have seen with my own eyes how fast Brother Lu's sword is. I don't dare to take this command flag. I'd better leave it with Brother Lu first!"

Lu Yu's eyes narrowed.

"What, you are not satisfied with the flag? Do you still want to take advantage of my Feihong Sword?"

"Brother Ning, you have to think clearly. Although I, Lu Yu, have a low cultivation level, I am not someone who can be manipulated by others. If we fight and both of us lose, it will be of no benefit to anyone!"

Ning Feng smiled and took out two golden talismans from his arms.

"I've seen Brother Lu's methods before, how dare I trust him?"

"Don't worry, this time it's not me who wants to take advantage of your Feihong Sword, but us!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand.

Two golden talismans rose into the air, each turned into a paper crane, and then flew in different directions.
