If it was before, on this occasion, the city lord would naturally invite Zhang Zhao or Chen Yang to serve as the host or referee to increase popularity. But this time, the duo had to keep a low profile and participate as a contestant, so they couldn't be invited.

In addition, the city lord didn't tell the two of them what he planned for tomorrow.

The competition lasted until 6 p.m., when the first round of auditions finally ended.

At the end of the day, 79 of them qualified for the top 100, while the remaining 21 players needed to face off in the second round, with the winner advancing to tomorrow's tournament.

Next to this buzzing ring, countless players are ready.

When Zhang Zhao and the others were eating the snowflake cream bought by Liu Piaopiao and Hou Ranran, a staff member of the City Lord's Mansion ran over.

"Young Master Hou, you are in the fourth game, facing off against the eldest young master of the Murong family, please be prepared. ”

"It can't be such a coincidence, can it?"

As soon as they heard that it was Murong Qing, several people immediately showed surprise.

"How sure are you about dealing with that guy?"

Chen Xiu asked with a puzzled expression.

I saw Hou Jingxian tightly frowning, and analyzed: "What Murong Qing is cultivating is cold ice telekinesis, which is exactly the same as my Heavenly Burning Fist, plus he has now broken through to the Martial Soul Realm, I am afraid that I have no chance of winning this battle." ”

"Then do your best, don't be too sad if you lose, I'll teach that guy a good lesson tomorrow." ”

Zhang Zhaoman said indifferently, anyway, Hou Jingxian only has the strength of the honorable level, and for the competition, it is really weak, even if he can enter the top fifty and go to the imperial capital, it will not have good results.

Hou Jingxian didn't speak, just nodded silently.

"Brother, you have to believe this uncle, he is amazing. Didn't you say before that only martial spirits can fly in the sky? This uncle can not only control the sky, but also take me and Piao Piao for a whole afternoon, and he can definitely beat that Murong Gongzi to pieces. ”

Hearing this, Hou Jingxian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, he looked at Zhang Zhao again, he couldn't feel any true qi fluctuations on Zhang Zhao's body, and the same was true for Chen Yang next to him.

As for Langxin and Chen Xiu, he could feel the slightest fluctuation of his true qi, so he speculated that they should be in the Martial Venerable Realm, and Zhang Zhao and Chen Yang were very likely to have reached the peak of the Martial Venerable level, as for the Martial King, he didn't dare to think about it.

No matter what, any of the four people around him can beat Murong Qing with one hand.

"Murong Qing is actually not too powerful, this time it is Xia Yuan, the second son of the Xia family, who really needs to pay attention. ”

"Xia Yuan?"

Zhang Zhao was slightly stunned, and then asked, "What, is he very powerful?"

"Well, the Xia family is the second martial arts family, second only to the Murong family in strength. And this second son is the first person of the younger generation, known as Xia Gongzi. ”

"So what's the difference between you and what you didn't say?"

A few people were surprised, isn't this a man who is called a "childe", and it's not special.

"A few people don't know, this son is not what you understand. According to legend, Xia Yuan was not called this name at first, but Xia Jingwen, who had read poetry and books since he was a child, and won the title of the former dynasty Jingke at the age of seventeen. After that, he felt that his knowledge was too far away and there was no end, so he named himself Yuan, the purpose of which was to urge himself to learn endlessly, and he needed to live a lifetime. And his cultivation is also so deep, he can't see the end, and he can't figure out the depth. ”

Listening to Hou Jingxian's introduction, everyone had some curiosity about this Xia Yuan.

"The champion of the previous dynasty, let me think about it, the former dynasty of Guyun City should belong to the Muhe Dynasty, so why didn't he go to be an official or something, but changed his cultivation?"

Hou Jingxian explained: "Mu He is too corrupt, this is a thing that is obvious to all, and he does not want to be with it. But recently, I've seen that he often goes in and out of the City Lord's Mansion, maybe he wants to get an official position in the Eternal Dynasty. ”

"It seems that my Eternal Dynasty is really a place where talents are produced, not bad. ”

For a talent like Xia Yuan, Zhang Zhao is proud. In today's Eternal Dynasty, there will never be a shortage of talents, only such incorruptible people.

If you want to say that those who seek a half-official position are really for money, as long as they do well, the rewards of the court will not be less. But human nature is greedy, and there is never too little, and no one is too much, which is why there are often things like tax deductions and soldiers' salaries.

In the fourth game of the second round of the year-end competition, Hou Jingxian played against Murong Qing. ”

"Then I'll go up first"

Hearing the referee call his name, Hou Jingxian said hello to everyone, and then went to the ring.

"Come on, brother!"

The two of them stepped into the ring, and Murong Qing's eyes were full of disdain.

As the contest began, Hou Jingxian's fists burst into flames, and a wall of air flow appeared around Murong Qing's body.

As the air continued to rotate, the temperature around him also dropped rapidly, and ice crystals quickly spread around him with his place as the center.

"What's the deal?"

Seeing the fluctuations of true qi released by the two on the stage, Zhang Zhao saw the end of this competition.

I have to say that although Murong Qing is arrogant, he does have arrogant capital, regardless of his family background, with this strength, he is also top-notch in the cultivation realm, and it is not impossible to defeat a mid-stage martial soul in the early stage.

"I see that this cold ice telekinesis has been cultivated to the Mahayana, but the Heavenly Burning Fist is still almost hot, and I don't have to fight. ”

Zhang Zhao and Chen Yang have made their own evaluations, although Langxin and Chen Xiu did not comment, but they also agreed with the two of them in their hearts.

The Heavenly Burning Fist is a ground-level martial art, and there is no room for improvement, even if it is cultivated to the Mahayana realm, it is just like that, and Hou Jingxian has not yet cultivated it to the Mahayana.

And the cold ice telekinesis is different, it belongs to the immortal-level high-grade martial arts, and when it is cultivated to the Mahayana, it will freeze the world. There is a qualitative gap between these two people, whether it is cultivation or martial arts, so Hou Jingxian has no chance of winning.

"Mirrors, water, moon, thousands of miles of ice"

With a loud sound, an ice lotus bloomed in the ring, and above the sky, another wall of ice fell from the sky.

The two were combined and Hou Jingxian was sandwiched in the center.

"Huh!"

I saw Hou Jingxian snort sharply, and stomped on the ground with his right foot, and at that moment, the flames on his fists became even more ferocious, quickly leading to his right foot, and then stomping on the ground again.

"Smack"

The ice lotus below was shattered, and the moment the wall above landed, Hou Jingxian raised his fist and rushed forward.

I saw that the flames instantly spread to the entire ice wall, and the momentum was like a rainbow, far beyond the strength that a supreme-level cultivator should have.
