"Alright, let's not talk about that, let's eat quickly. ”

Seeing that the current atmosphere was a little bad, Xuannu hurriedly changed the topic. After all, things haven't come to an end yet, and it's only troublesome to think about it now.

"Well, eat"

Zhang Zhao nodded, picked up the chopsticks and began to eat.

He always remembered what Guan Yun told himself, don't distract yourself from everything except your duty, even if it concerns you, you have to wait until after the incident to deal with it.

And now that he has asked Bai Xing and Xia Yuan to start preparing in advance, there is no problem of being unprepared.

Ten days later, all the play-in competitions have ended, and a total of 1,600 people have entered the main stage.

These 1,600 people are divided into four categories, which are divided into four stages: Martial Soul, Martial Zun, Martial Zun, and Martial King, and will compete in the four rings of Qiankun Zhenkan.

There are 400 people in a ring, and there will be two jousting competitions, and after the number of people is reduced to 100, the ranking match will begin.

Judging from the current situation, the Qianzi ring is the most eye-catching, and the favorites who are expected to win the championship are Xuannu, Zhang Zhao, who is known as the No. 1 in the first word, and Chen Yang, who is a shadowless swordsman.

They are all Martial King-level combat power, and although some of them have not reached the Martial King, they also have strength close to the Martial King, so they cannot be assigned to the Kunzi Ring.

Of course, in addition to Zhang Zhao and the three of them, there are several favorites to win the championship.

They are the wood forest fire from Kyushu City, the broken mind of Cangyun City, the ancient gold of Tianyun City, and the nameless of Ancient Cloud City.

I have to say that Gu Yuncheng has occupied a lot of limelight this time, and there are three favorites to win the championship.

At the beginning, when Nameless did not appear, everyone thought that the first number one or the shadowless swordsman would be the rumored nameless, after all, both of them were swordsmen, and Nameless also happened to be a swordsman.

But as soon as Nameless appeared, everyone knew that the real Nameless was someone else. is a middle-aged man dressed very plainly, low-key, and usually doesn't talk much.

As for the favorites for the other three rings, with Zhang Zhao and the others knowing, there are old friends such as Qing Kite and Langxin, Long Zhan, as well as Xia Yuan and Morning Star.

Seeing these favorites to win the championship, the audience talked about it with relish, but Zhang Zhao was not very optimistic.

In such a big river, thousands of cultivators came to compete, but there were only a few who really stood out.

Coupled with Zhan Zuochan, who can attract the thunder of the Flame God, there are only two rookie masters in total. Seeing that the finals are getting closer and closer, if you don't show your true skills, it will be over. The two newcomer masters really gave Zhang Zhao a headache, in his prediction, there would be more than a hundred, but now there are two.

On the first day of the main competition, the knockout round

Zhang Zhao and they came to the central square one after another, everyone has to have a competition today, only the winner can enter the next round, and the loser will be eliminated directly.

Since there are 200 fights in each ring, the competition starts at 7 o'clock in the morning.

Roughly calculated, there were 200 people in each ring, and the number of people in three rounds of competition was reduced to 50, and then eliminated once to 25 people.

In the end, it was eliminated again, and it became twelve or thirteen. And Zhang Zhao and Chen Yang are going to abstain from the competition at this time, and there are exactly ten people in the Qianzi Ring to enter the ranking stage.

Zhang Zhao's opponent was a hermit from the southwestern border, known as the "Nine Fist Master" in the rivers and lakes.

The scary thing about this nine-fist master is that no one has seen his ninth punch until now, because his opponent has already lost the seventh and eighth punches.

What's even more terrifying is that it is rumored that he has comprehended the thirteenth punch, which is not just the nine punches when he was first famous.

According to Zhang Zhao's plan, if the opponent is strong enough and has the ability to enter the top ten ranking matches, then he will deliberately lose and give him the opportunity, if he is not capable, then he will defeat him and frustrate the opponent's spirit.

At nine o'clock, the fifty-fourth match has ended, and Zhang Zhao will also usher in his first main match.

Zhang Zhao stepped into the ring and sacrificed his Shenwu steel sword. After a few laps of his blade, sixteen qi swords were born around him.

At this time, an old man with messy hair and a rickety figure walked into the ring.

Although he is old, his steps are steady, and his eyes are full of sharpness.

Especially his hands, the back of the hand has a very thick callus, and at first glance he looks like an experienced old boxer.

"In the next Zhang Zhao, I learned from my predecessors. ”

The Nine Fist Master nodded lightly and didn't say anything more.

For juniors, the elders only need to respond, and do not need to return the gift.

"Tournament, let's go!"

As the referee began, the moment his words fell, the eyes of the Nine Boxers widened, and his clothes moved without wind, and before he could make a move, a golden fist attacked Zhang Zhao with the momentum of Mount Tai.

Seeing the strength of this golden fist, Zhang Zhao quickly waved the long sword in his hand and mobilized sixteen qi swords around him, only then did he resist this punch.

The scene quickly returned to calm, and the sixteen qi swords also returned to their original positions, and the blades of the swords pointed at the Nine Fist Division.

Seeing that the other party easily repelled his own blow, the Nine Fist Master nodded appreciatively.

At this time, I saw him quickly retract his right fist and swing it forward.

At that moment, it was difficult for Zhang Zhao to catch the shadow of the opponent's fist with his naked eyes, and at that moment he could only see that the opponent had swung twelve punches, but in fact, there were hundreds of punches.

Zhang Zhao didn't expect that the other party would be able to launch the fist technique in a lily six situation, but with his strength, it could still be easily resolved.

"Huh"

A sound broke through the air, Zhang Zhao swung his sword, and then his wrist was flexibly reversed, causing the surrounding qi swords to begin to flow in an orderly manner, sometimes rushing away, sometimes soothing.

The frequency of fast and slow coincides with the density of the opponent's fist shadow.

At this moment, the Nine Fist Master in front of him suddenly disappeared in place, and when he reappeared, he had already met him with a punch.

Zhang Zhao raised his sword and went to greet him, but when he came into contact with the opponent's fist, the Nine Fist Master disappeared again.

Every instant, Zhang Zhao slashed to different directions with his sword, and in just one second, he slashed eleven times in a row.

The figure of the Nine Fist Master kept disappearing and reappearing, each time it appeared in a different place around Zhang Zhao's body, accompanied by a killing punch, but in the end he was skillfully resisted.

But the power of the eleven punches was resisted in an instant, and the huge impact still made Zhang Zhao unbearable.

Zhang Zhao quickly retreated a few steps, and the stainless steel sword in his right hand swung rapidly, each swing was unloading the fist power on his body, and finally converged on the sword body.
