Volume 1 The First Entry into the Troubled Times Chapter 207 The Battle for Ranking (1)
"Huangfu Qingyu, they are also new disciples, why are they terrifying?" asked Qianqiu puzzled.
Yun Zhi pulled Qianqiu aside and said, "Qianqiu, you don't know the city of the Alchemy Hall's Duan Jue Master, right?"
Qianqiu nodded and said, "Although Master Duan is against me everywhere, he is not reckless to the point of exaggeration. Although there is a city government, it does not pose any threat to me at the moment. ”
Yun Zhi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Things are not as simple as you think. ”
"Huangfu Qingyu, what kind of guidance did they have?" asked Qianqiu suspiciously.
Yun Zhi thought about it again, looked around, confirmed that he didn't pay attention to the two of them, and said softly to Qianqiu: "I won't hide it from you, now I want to inform you of my thoughts." ”
"Senior sister, please speak, Qianqiu must keep it secret. As soon as Qianqiu heard it, she knew what secret there must be, and hurriedly gave Yunzhi a reassurance.
Yun Zhi said: "It is said that Master Duan gave Huangfu Qingyu, Yu Wenhua and others some pills. ”
"Do these pills have any effect?" asked Chiaki, puzzled.
Yun Zhi said, "Yes, these pills can increase a cultivator's cultivation in a short time. It is said that Master Duan gave them a lot, and if something unexpected happened during the competition, these pills would come in handy. ”
"What about us?" Qianqiu hurriedly asked, "Master Yun can't just leave it alone, other people's disciples have pills to eat, and our Yanyu Hall will detain and search them." ”
Yun Zhi slammed Qianqiu's head with his hand and said, "The master is still practicing in retreat in the Dazzling Light Cave, where did we get the pills?"
"This ......" Qianqiu was speechless for a while.
Yunzhi said: "Senior sister just wants to remind you, please be careful when competing, these pills are tonics, and our Oriental Sect's competition is not forbidden." ”
"Chiaki remember. Qianqiu clenched his fists and said confidently, "I will definitely not give them a chance to take these pills." ”
"Okay, okay, don't be poor. Go back and prepare well, tomorrow's acting head Lian Shizun will personally announce your matchup. Yunzhi said.
At night, Chiaki sat alone in her room and thought about tomorrow's ranking battle.
"Sixteen into eight, presumably the ninth and tenth places have to be obtained from the next six separate competitions. If you want to get the top six records, you have to win at least two games!" Chiaki lay alone, thinking, and slowly fell asleep.
At dawn the next day, all the outer disciples, visiting officers and soldiers, and disciples of the Five Elements Hall gathered in the martial arts arena.
Lian Bo and the others stood on the stage of the martial arts arena in good spirits, and Han Shuangxue, Xue Xuzhao and others stood on the side.
Today, there are more things on the stage of the martial arts arena, one is a huge wooden sign, on which a battle map of the top 16 is drawn, and there are a total of 16 wooden frames at the bottom, and this box is where the names of the top 16 are placed.
Lian Bo held a piece of parchment in his hand and announced loudly: "After many competitions in the past few days, the top 16 have finally been determined from among the many disciples. I'm glad that there was no fraud or deliberate harm in this knockout round. Therefore, today we are going to start the ranking battle, so please prepare for the competition. ”
Lian Bo paused and continued: "This qualifying battle only uses one large venue, and every match is played in this venue in front of us. The rules of the qualifying competition are as follows: the disciples of the competition take the initiative to admit defeat and lose, if they have no power to fight back, they will lose, and if they are unable to fight again, but the spirit beast of one side defeats the other party, it is also considered that the cultivator who won the spirit beast wins. This competition adopts a progressive elimination system until the first place in the competition is decided. This qualifying round is the same as the knockout round, both sides point to the end, must not be killed, if there is a violation, the door rules will be severely punished. ”
Qianqiu stood at the front of the team in the Yanyu Hall, listened to Lian Bo's words, and said in his heart: "Yesterday, the names of the sixteen people were posted, but the battle map was not announced. Today's cashing out of the battle map must be to test the disciple's ability to adapt on the spot. ”
Qianqiu guessed correctly, and then Lian Bo held the parchment in his hand and announced loudly: "In order to test your adaptability, the specific battle map was not announced yesterday night, but the list of disciples of the top 16 was announced. Next, I announce the start of the first group of competitions, which will be played by Alchemy Tang Yu Culture against Fire Control Hall Yafang. ”
As soon as these words came out, the disciples on the side put the famous wood plate of Yu Culture and Yafang in the first pair of grids.
The interest of the people around the arena has gradually increased.
"These two are both new disciples, and I didn't expect to see the new forces facing each other in the first game. ”
"A new disciple is just a new disciple after all, and in the end, he will lose to us old men. ”
"That's not necessarily, although there is a difference of two ranks between the junior magician and the senior magician, but our Eastern faction has also had a competition to win by skipping the level before. ”
"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, let's watch the competition!"
Han Shuangxue looked at Yu Wenhua and Yafang, who was slowly approaching the venue, watched for a while, and said to Xue Xuzhao: "These two people are close in strength, it should be an inseparable battle. ”
Xue Xuzhao nodded and said, "The Oriental faction is full of talents, and it really makes me blush when I come up with such a row." ”
Yu Wenhua took off the white robe of the sect on his body, changed into a clothes that were convenient for movement, and pointed at the silver gun, so majestic.
Yafang is an excellent disciple of the Fire Control Hall, but he is not very old, but he has also entered the rank of junior magician.
"The two sides of the competition are prepared....... Start the competition!" The referee of the top 16 is personally served by the acting head Lian Bo to ensure the fairness of the competition.
"Then you're welcome!" Yu Wenhua laughed, stepped out and kicked the gun, pinched his hand, stepped forward with the gun, and rushed towards Yafang, the whole action was smooth without a trace of delay.
Yafang expressionlessly drew out the fire belt, and put on a slight posture, ready to meet the enemy!
Although she is not big, she looks majestic when she holds the fire belt in her hand.
Yu Wenhua floated to Yafang's eyes in a blink of an eye, and stabbed the spear, and the spear "Ding Lingdangchang" made a piercing sound.
At some point, Yang first found Qianqiu's position and sat down next to him.
"Old Yang, why are you here? This is the place where we smoke and rain hall. Chiaki asked suspiciously.
"It was Senior Sister Yunzhi who asked me to come, she said that I have a good brain, and I will help you analyze the enemy's situation. Yang Xian said with a smile.
Qianqiu looked for Yun Zhi with disdain, but found no trace of her, and then hung his eyes on Yang Xian's body, and said: "Old Yang, do you think Senior Sister Yun Zhi is talking nonsense, you are smart, but why is my brain not good?"
Yang Xian shook his head, and did not continue to entangle with Qianqiu, but pointed to the stage and said: "I know that Yafang, it is the signboard of the new students of the Fire Control Hall, and it is not small to worship the Oriental faction in the same batch as us. ”
"Look at the evil you said, but, then again, how good is she?" asked Chiaki.
Yang Xian said: "Yafang is the hardest working among our disciples, she is slightly older than us, but she has been working hard to improve herself, I have only seen her a month ago, and I don't know much about her specific strength." I heard that her father is a grain and grass official in Huanghu City, which is also a small official position. ”
"So you're an inspirational guy?" asked Chiaki.
"Yes, so to speak. But I haven't seen her make a move with anyone else, I'll see how she plays later, and if you meet her later, it's good to be prepared. Yang Xian said.
Yu Culture and Yafang on the field had already gone back and forth dozens of moves, but none of them had activated the spirit beast in the contract talisman.
The two of them were tempted, but they still refused to show their real skills. If this continues, when will you be able to fight well?" Chiaki said with a sigh.
Yang first patted Qianqiu's shoulder and said, "Brother Qian, do you dare to say that you are not impatient?"
"I just can't see it like that. When I competed with you, I was also as fast as thunder, and I didn't drag the mud and water at all. Chiaki said with a slight smile.
"Brother Qian, look!" Yang Xian pointed to the field and said impatiently.
Yafang on the field took the lead in summoning his own spirit beast, a fourth-level spirit beast - Thousand Colored Butterflies!
The colorful butterflies are not big, just like Peng Qi's flying locusts, tens of thousands, at this time, countless colorful butterflies are scattered in various colors and hang in the field, dotted with stars, and it is very beautiful.
There was a burst of exclamations from the audience.
"I've never seen Yafang's spirit beast call out of her, it turned out to be a thousand colorful butterflies!"
"This colorful butterfly looks good-looking, and I don't know how strong it is. ”
"You don't understand, it's the most deadly. ”
There was a lot of talk in the audience.
Qianqiu looked at the Qiancai butterflies on the field, looked at Yang Xian, and said, "Old Yang, how could this fourth-level spirit beast appear here, Yafang is just a junior magician, where did this spirit beast come from?"
Yang Xian smiled and said, "Just allow you to have strange frogs for thousands of years, and don't allow people to have colorful butterflies?" This should have been contracted in the contract charm before she went up the mountain. ”
"Before going up the mountain, she is a magician, how could she contract a fourth-level spirit beast?" asked Qianqiu puzzled.
"Although the Thousand Colored Butterfly is a fourth-level spirit beast, but the power of each butterfly is not as good as the second-level and third-level spirit beast, this should be superior in quantity, so it can be called a fourth-level spirit beast, if there are only thousands of them, isn't this Thousand Colored Butterfly a third-level spirit beast?" Yang Xian said with a smile.
When Qianqiu heard this, he also felt reasonable, and said: "This kind of spirit beast is forcibly squeezed into the ranks of fourth-level spirit beasts by numbers, and it may not be as good as the two-headed wolf of Yu Culture. ”
"Having said that, it depends on how the cultivator himself views and adjusts to cooperate with this spirit beast. Senior Brother Peng Qi's flying locusts in our Descending Hall are also superior in numbers, but their power is also amazing!" Yang Xian said.
Yu Wenhua on the venue was only slightly stunned, and then said: "I didn't expect to see this kind of Western Regions spirit beast in the Northwest Chaotianzhou in the Eastern Sect, it really opened my eyes." ”
