Volume 1 Chapter 90 The Battle for the Succession Begins (Kneel and beg for Collection)
In a flash, another five days have passed, it should be said that five days have passed outside the Qiankun realm, and three months have passed inside the Qiankun realm.
Because Li Mu built a big sand table before, which caused the Qiankun realm to almost collapse, if it wasn't for Li Mu to improve the sand table, it is estimated that there would be no way to adjust the speed of time, it is precisely because after the sand table was improved, the power of faith was generated within a few days, and the Qiankun table was barely restored to the state before the sand table was made, and the danger did not delay everyone's cultivation.
After three months of high-intensity cultivation, everyone's strength has made great progress, Wang Yuxi and Peng Miyao are still the fastest growing among the few people, and they have all reached the cultivation of the Jindan Eightfold Realm, or how to say that Li Mu's exercises are powerful, three months and six small levels, if they are placed in the eyes of ordinary people, I am afraid that they will think that these two people are peerless geniuses, but Li Mu is obviously still dissatisfied with the growth speed of the two, and they have stayed in the Jindan Dual Realm for a long time, and the breakthrough in the intensive training should at least step into the Yuanying, but their cultivation progress is slower, so they have no choice but not to commentγ
Hao Qi's cultivation progress is also gratifying, Jindan Fivefold Realm, three months and four small levels, although not as good as Wang Yuxi and Peng Miyao, but he himself is very satisfied, after all, as a pioneer, just resist the beating.
He Wanning is the most headache for everyone, this little girl has only improved three small levels in three months, if she is outside, I am afraid that everyone will think that she must be practicing in retreat day and night, and in fact, this girl is busy conquering the forest and sea every day, but occasionally tired, and she cultivates by the way when she rests, but when she reaches the Jindan Quadruple Realm, plus she is the main defense, so it is harmless.
Lun Ling and Su Lu have stepped into the foundation building realm, Li Mu plans to wait for them to reach the god realm, and then release them out to practice, after all, the power of their laws has not yet awakened, if they are discovered, it will only lead to death.
Li Mu is much more miserable, while guiding the cultivation of six people, he also has to cultivate by himself, the speed is like a turtle crawling, and he has only improved to the Jindan Fivefold Realm, but it is remarkable that "Ten Thousand Souls Return to One Secret" has been divided into nine souls, if you cultivate quietly for a month, it should not be too much of a problem to step into the Yuan Infant. The second layer of Yang Thunder Jue Yang Thunder Armor is also slightly smaller.
The crowd went to the dome jousting arena with the results of three months.
......
The competition field was surrounded by people from all walks of life early in the morning, not because of how powerful the Wang family was, but because half of the people came to join in the fun, after all, it's not a big deal to watch the excitement, who doesn't like to join in the fun.
The center of the martial arts arena is a circular martial arts platform, the audience seat is blocked by a row of high stone walls, there is a pit about half a zhang deep between the wall and the martial arts platform, it is the rest area of the players, the rest area is evenly divided into eight areas, and is named after the eight characters of "dry, due, separate, earthquake, Xun, kan, gen, kun".
Before the competition began, the Dongsheng Chamber of Commerce had already opened the blockage, and the odds of winning the championship were placed everywhere in the competition, and there were three favorites to win the championship, these three people were Wang Haoxuan, Wang Xiuyang and Wang Siyang, respectively, ranked first, second and third. The odds are also different, Wang Haoxuan loses two, Wang Xiuyang loses four, and Wang Siyang loses nine.
"Eh, big sister, why are your odds so high?" Hao asked when he saw the odds billboard.
"Maybe I think my cultivation is low and I don't help much. Wang Yuxi smiled helplessly.
"I think I'm underestimating us!" Hao said unevenly.
Li Mu raised his eyes and found that Wang Yuxi was ranked eighth, and the odds were one hundred and twenty to one, which ......
"Are you interested in gambling?" Li Mu quipped.
"Yes!" Hao said unceremoniously, "I want to put all the pressure on the eldest sister, third brother, lend me some money first." β
Li Mu smiled and said nothing, and borrowed three hundred high-grade spirit stones from Hao Qiqi.
"This ...... So much?"
"If you want to play, play bigger. Li Mu said with interest.
"Let's see how to play first, don't lose it then!" He Wanning said on the side.
"Whatever!" Hao Qi said to the little guy on the side of the billboard, "I will press Wang Yuxi, three hundred high-grade spirit stones!"
The little guy took the spirit stone, took out a piece of paper in his hand, and poured his divine thoughts into it, the right side of the paper instantly displayed the words "three hundred high-grade spirit stones", and the leftmost one showed the words "Wang Yuxi", handed it to Hao Weiqi, and held up three hundred high-grade spirit stones and shouted, "Press Wang Yuxi to be the top three today, three hundred high-grade spirit stones!"
"What do you mean today?" Hao Qi scratched his head after putting away the gambling ticket.
"This battle is divided into a civil and military test, a cultural test of four levels, a martial arts test of a single Tao, and the literary test should be divided into several days of competition. Wang Yuxi explained. "Oh~~, that is to say, you can press one, two, three...... Eight times?" Hao Gao counted with his fingers.
"No, stupid second brother, the daily competition items are different, so new dishes will be opened every day, and if you can press it a few times, it will depend on how many days the battle is over. He Wanning said with a smile.
Hao Wei also smiled innocently.
"Aren't you pressing?" Wang Yuxi asked Li Mu intentionally or unintentionally.
"Press!" How could Li Mu not press, he took out a spirit ticket in his hand and handed it to the little guy.
Not long after, a small servant shouted, "Suppress Wang Yuxi is the top three today, 50,000 high-grade spirit stones!"
"Fifty thousand!"
"This man is crazy!"
"Supposed to be a fool. β
The surrounding onlookers were talking.
......
"Five...... Fifty thousand!" Hao Qi widened his eyes and said, "You have so many, why did you lend me three hundred?"
"You didn't say how much you borrowed, besides, I just took out three hundred, which is too much. Li Mu glanced at him and said.
While a few people were talking, they heard the little guy shouting loudly, "Suppress Wang Yuxi today's top three, 20,000 high-grade spirit stones." β
Everyone looked up and found that it was a young man dressed in a green shirt and looking like a scholar, and the most eye-catching thing was his hair, smooth and soft, without a trace of broken hair.
"Senior Brother Su. Wang Yuxi stepped forward and said.
Li Mu and others also paid their respects.
"Senior Brother Su is very optimistic about my eldest sister. Li Mu quipped.
"No, I'm optimistic about you!" Su Ziyou said bluntly.
"I?I don't know what Senior Brother Su means by this?" Li Mu instantly became vigilant.
"Don't be nervous, I heard that Peng Miyao worships you as a teacher?"
"It's just a family between children, Senior Brother Su doesn't have to worry about it. β
"It's not ......" Before Peng Miyao finished speaking, Li Mu raised his hand to stop her from continuing.
"Huh...... Hehehe. Su Ziyou smiled awkwardly, "I didn't expect that the female devil back then is now being managed by people, and Su admires it." Su Ziyou shook off the folding fan in his hand and continued, "The reason why I am optimistic about you is because since Peng Miyao has followed you, her cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, and if there is anything Su doesn't understand in the future, I will ask you for advice." β
"Senior Brother Su has spoken. β
At this time, the little guy shouted again, "Suppress the king's heart and speak to the top three today, 10,000 high-grade spirit stones!"
Several people heard the voice, and Li Mu and Wang Yuxi obviously froze.
Wang Suyun, who had just taken the gambling ticket from the young man, looked at Li Mu angrily, snorted coldly, and walked away.
"It seems that before it started, Senior Brother Li offended people. Su Ziyou chuckled.
"I'm not afraid of itching if there are a lot of lice. β
......
At noon, there was a special spectator seat in the stands, where the head of the Wang family and the elders were seated.
"The head of the family is bound to win this time. Great Elder Wang Xiaoli asked.
"Hehehehe, where is it inevitable, don't lose too ugly, Yuxi became independent early, he has worked hard for so long, and there are few reliable people, this is ......" Wang Xiaozong, the head of the Wang family, said with a smile.
"Big brother, don't be modest, I'm quite optimistic about Yuxi. Seventh Elder Wang Xiaomeng covered his mouth and chuckled.
"Cut, I see, it's a group of rabble, compared to the help of my family Siyang and Siman, it's far behind. "Three old Wang Xiaozhi said.
"There are not many people, but the essence is valuable!" the Seventh Elder's face changed and he choked.
"Okay, don't say a word, you two will fight as soon as you meet, there are so many people today, don't be embarrassed here!" Great Elder Wang Xiaoli shouted sharply.
The two women turned their heads away and said no more.
Seeing this, the sixth elder Wang Xiao'an said, "Look, look, they're coming up!"
At this time, the eight candidates of the Wang family stood in the center of the competition field, lined up, and a middle-aged man slowly walked in front of the eight people, this person was dressed in a red power suit, the upper body exposed half of his chest and an arm, the whole figure was extremely strong, the sparse stubble showed the contours of the face, and a long hair was draped over his shoulders.
After the man in red stood still, he mixed his voice into spiritual power and said aloud, "I am Wang Xiaodian, the second elder of the Wang family!
Wang Xiaodian turned around, stretched out a hand, pinched eight bamboo sticks in his hand, and said, "There are eight rest areas around the martial arts arena. Kun eight characters arrangement, and the eight bamboo sticks in my hand each have a word, each of you come up to draw one, choose your own rest area, and then bring their respective assistance into their own rest area, here are two rules I want to state, first, there must be no conflict in the rest area, otherwise it will be punished according to abstention; second, each rest area has a formation to isolate the divine mind to probe, so everyone, take care of your help, don't try to eavesdrop on other people's information, otherwise it will be punished according to abstention. After Wang Xiaodian said this, he casually pointed to Wang Haoxuan, who was on his far left, and said, "Start with you, come one by one!"
After a draw, the eight people all clarified their rest area, got off the competition field, and entered the rest area with their own help.
"We are a dry area. Wang Yuxi said to Li Mu and others.
"Let's go, let's see the situation after we enter the rest area. Li Mu walked towards the Qianzi area.
After the eight candidates entered the rest area, Li Mu observed and found that Wang Xinyu happened to be in the Kunzi area, looking across the platform from him. Although the competition arena was very large, Li Mu could still see the resentment on Wang Xinyu's face.
Li Mu continued to look around and found that in the entire martial arts arena, Wang Yuxi was the one who carried the least assistance, only a few of them, and the others brought at least ten people.
"Okay, now announce the content and rules of the battle. Wang Xiaodian saw that everyone had taken their seats, and said loudly, "The battle for the heirs is determined according to the scoring system, and as the future head of the Wang family, it must be a civil and military all-rounder, so it is divided into a literary examination and a martial arts examination, the literary examination is divided into four subjects, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, each subject only takes the top three, the first place is counted as ten points, the second place is counted as five points, and the third place is counted as one point, two games a day, and the content and rules will be announced after the end of the martial arts test, and the subjects held today are piano and chess. β
After Wang Xiaodian finished the announcement, he looked around and asked, "Is there anything unclear?"
Seeing that no one spoke, he continued, "In addition, everyone is not allowed to play more than twice in the literary examination, and there is no limit to the number of candidates, so please study the countermeasures carefully. Clearing his throat, "Let's take the first subject test, Jean!"
"Can anyone play the piano?" asked Wang Yuxi in a circle.
"I don't think we should come to anything, let's talk about what everyone is good at in the four subjects. Li Mu looked at the crowd, "I'll come first, I'm proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I can only play twice, so you can pick the one you are sure of first." β
"I can play the piano, but I don't necessarily win. He Wanning said glutinously.
"It's okay, the top three will do. Li Mu said with a smile.
"I can draw. Wang Yuxi also spoke.
"Well, then Wen and Mi Yao will make a truce first and wait for the martial test. Li Mu arranged, "Today's first scene, little sister, please leave it to you!"
He Wanning looked at everyone, cheered herself up, and said, "I will definitely do my best." β
When He Wanning came to power, Li Mu fused a wisp of divine thought into her mind, just like the last time Hao Qi was on the stage for the first time.
"How much you can comprehend depends on your creation. Li Mu muttered to himself.
After He Wanning went to the martial arts arena, Wang Xiaodian asked which candidate helped one by one and arranged for them to sit down one by one. After everyone sat down, Li Mu found that Wang Xinyu played directly in this game, and thought to himself, "Did you fight like this at the beginning?"
Wang Xiaodian said loudly, "The rules of this game are judged, who can break the string in front of him with the sound of the piano within the time of a pillar of incense, it will be considered passed, and the ranking will be arranged in order from short to long according to the time. β
Wang Xiaodian looked at one of them trying to touch the string in front of him with his hand, and stopped him sharply, "Stop! Anyone who destroys the string with his hands or other parts of his body will be punished as abstention! Anyone who destroys the string with a weapon will be punished as abstention! Anyone who destroys the string with martial arts will be punished as abstention!"
The man who wanted to touch it just now instantly withdrew his hand.
"Is there anything else you don't understand?" Wang Xiaodian shouted loudly, as if he was angered by the man's actions just now.
"I ...... I...... I have!" He Wanning raised her hand very timidly.
Wang Xiaodian glared at her and said, "Say it." The tone was extremely impatient.
He Wanning said glutinously, "What if...... If someone else's ...... Sound ...... What if I interfere with me?"
"Then blame yourself for your lack of strength!"
"No...... It's not ......"
"What's not! It's just not strong!"
"It's not...... I would like to say......"
"Don't talk crookedly, or I'll give you an abstention!"
