Chapter 401: Big Than Sixteen
The referee's voice fell, and the stadium resounded with tsunami-like applause and cheers.
In fact, there are other competitions going on around here, but people are basically paying attention to the competition between Lu Ping'an and Qin Sanchuan, and they are naturally cheering for it.
In addition to the fact that both of them are well-known young powerhouses, it is also because the competition itself is very exciting and intense, and the momentum of the battle alone is much greater than that of the other contestants, which makes it difficult not to pay attention.
On the other hand, first Qin Sanchuan himself admitted defeat, and then the referee officially announced it, so far, those who were unwilling to die just now can no longer be lucky, and can only accept the facts in front of them.
"Lu Ping'an is really strong!"
"Who said he didn't live up to his name just now? Now he is dumbfounded, right? People are obviously worthy of his name!"
"It seems that those rumors are not wrong at all, Lu Ping'an is not only highly talented, but also terrifyingly strong in combat effectiveness!"
"It is really a wise move for the Cloud Sword Sect to make him an elder, not to mention anything else, just with the sophistication of his swordsmanship, it is enough to take on this responsibility. ”
Everyone talked about it again, but after Lu Ping'an's victory, the direction of public opinion became completely different from before.
In the absence of major rights and wrongs, as the audience, they are naturally respected by the strong, and as long as they win the competition, they will be praised.
And Lu Ping'an also showed his true strength for the first time in front of people from all walks of life after becoming famous.
He didn't want to prove anything, he just wanted to win the game, but judging from the facts, he still proved himself and made those flying fame more real and powerful.
As for solving the matter of Elder Gou, for Lu Ping'an, it was an accident, and it was a good thing that he didn't have to trouble Di Guangji to deal with it.
At the same time, this also made Lu Ping'an change his opinion of the King Kong Gate, feeling that not all of them were as reckless and unreasonable as Elder Gou and Qi Long.
After a while, Lu Ping'an arched his hand to Qin Sanchuan, and planned to turn around and step down.
At this moment, the people from the King Kong Gate ran over and came to the stage to support Qin Sanchuan, who was seriously injured.
When Lu Ping'an saw one of the teenagers, he couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "Little stone?!"
Several Vajra Sect monks, including Qin Sanchuan, were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and they all turned their heads to look at the young man according to Lu Ping'an's gaze.
That young man was Shi Hao, who had hunted and trained with Lu Ping'an and Guo Lanying in Tongning City, and formed a deep friendship with the two of them.
He still looks a little green, but he is no longer immature, and his bald head is still shiny and shiny, which is quite eye-catching.
Shi Hao showed a sincere smile, scratched his head, and said, "Brother Lu, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Lu Ping'an stepped forward and said with a smile: "It's been a long time, look at this, you have joined the King Kong Gate as you wish?"
When he was in Tongning City, Shi Hao said that his goal was to join the Vajra Gate, and now that he is with several other Vajra Gate monks, it is estimated that he has already achieved his goal.
Shi Hao said: "Well, after I left Tongning City, I went directly to the King Kong Gate, and in the entrance assessment, I got the first place and successfully became a true disciple." ”
Lu Ping'an still remembered that Shi Hao's bloodline grade at that time was the middle grade of the Xuan Rank, and the second evolution had not yet occurred.
At this time, Lu Ping'an used the phagocytosis system to detect it, but found that it had evolved into a mid-grade grade.
With such a bloodline talent, it is not surprising that he can be selected as a true disciple of the Vajra Sect.
Lu Ping'an smiled: "Hahaha...... Congratulations, although this sentence came a little late, I am still happy for you from the bottom of my heart. ”
Shi Hao also laughed, but for some reason he laughed a little awkwardly.
At this time, Qin Sanchuan looked at Lu Ping'an and said, "I didn't expect you to know my apprentice?"
Lu Ping'an was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Little stone...... Is it your apprentice?"
Qin Sanchuan and Shi Hao both nodded.
Then, Lu Ping'an laughed out loud and said, "Coincidentally, this is really a coincidence! In this way, we are destined to become enemies." ”
Qin Sanchuan said: "I just want to win against you, why should I become an enemy?"
Lu Ping'an said: "That's right, since you are Xiaoshi's master, maybe we can still make friends." ”
Qin Sanchuan said: "You and my apprentice are friends, what does it matter to me?"
Shi Hao said: "Okay, Master, your injuries are so serious, come down with us to heal." ”
As he spoke, Shi Hao called a few other people from the King Kong Gate and helped Qin Sanchuan down the test platform.
After walking a few steps, Shi Hao ran to Lu Ping'an's side by himself and said, "Little Brother Lu, my master has a strange temper, please forgive me." ”
Lu Ping'an smiled bitterly: "This is not too unexpected, but in terms of strength alone, your master is indeed very good, follow him to practice well, and you will definitely have a great future in the future." ”
Shi Hao said: "But...... Who would have thought that we who were still training together in demon hunting at the beginning have now formed such a big gap in terms of status and strength. ”
Lu Ping'an said: "What kind of cultivation realm are you now?
"Yuanwu Quadruple, participated, but was eliminated yesterday. ”
Lu Ping'an stretched out his hand and patted Shi Hao's shoulder, and said, "That's also very good, work hard, one day, you will become stronger than your master!"
The two chatted for a while, and Lu Ping'an learned that Shi Hao had long known that Lu Ping'an was in Yunjianmen.
It's just because Lu Ping'an and Elder Gou had a conflict last time, so Shi Hao has never been embarrassed to come over to recognize him, so as not to be embarrassed.
And this time, Qin Sanchuan said that he wanted to solve the matter of Elder Gou, so Shi Hao ran over and appeared in front of Lu Ping'an.
When Lu Ping'an saw Shi Hao again, he inevitably remembered those experiences in Tongning City, and couldn't help but have a lot of feelings.
The Great Comparison of the Four Kingdoms must be of great significance to the sects and monks of the Eastern Continent.
For Lu Ping'an personally, it is also quite important, at least because of this opportunity, he has seen some old friends and old enemies, whether good or bad, concentrated here, and many things will come to an end here.
After another period of time, the competition on the second day of the Four Nations Competition was over, and the top 16 of this competition were determined.
Among these sixteen people, all of them are powerhouses in the Xuanyin Realm, and most of them are from the top sects of various countries.
Overall, this result is quite in line with people's expectations.
The only thing that surprised people was that Qin Sanchuan was eliminated from the competition.
Prior to this, people still had doubts about Lu Ping'an's actual combat effectiveness.
But after he defeated Qin Sanchuan, people recognized his strength and were full of expectations for him, and even regarded him as one of the favorites to win the championship.
And the contestants sent by the Cloud Sword Sect, including Lu Ping'an, are now only three people left.
Of course, this is considered to be a relatively large number of people in the top sects of the four countries, except for four people from Jixia Academy who advanced to the top sixteen, there are only one or two others.
However, this does not mean that the power of those top-level sects must be much worse than that of Jixia Academy and Cloud Sword Sect, but in terms of young monks alone, they may be slightly inferior.
As for the monks from the small and medium-sized sects, only one of them made it to the top sixteen, and in the eyes of some, it was still a bit of luck.
This is a rather cruel result, but it is also extremely true, like Lu Ping'an, who has reached the top genius of the Xuanyin Realm before he is twenty years old, and while being sought after and worshiped by young monks, he will also make people sigh at the injustice of the Heavenly Dao.
But in fact, Lu Ping'an is not as easy as outsiders imagine.
When he stands at the peak of his strength among the young monks, he will also be under pressure from above.
Lu Ping'an was right to win against Qin Sanchuan, but he himself knew very well that it was just a narrow victory, and then he still needed to win several strong opponents in order to win the first place.
In his opinion, with the current state of strength, it is impossible to achieve nine out of ten after all.
If you want to continue to win, in addition to playing well in the competition, it is estimated that you have to break through the realm again.
Thinking of this, Lu Ping'an also had to admit that he had underestimated the Four Nations Competition before, especially those who could reach the top 16, none of them were simple characters, and it was not easy to win the championship!
......
The third day of the Four Nations Competition, the round of 16.
Although there were many fewer contestants today than in the previous two days, there were still many spectators, and the whole venue was very lively.
In the rest area of each sect, there were still many people who came to support the fellow monks who could continue to compete.
The same was true of the Cloud Sword Gate, where more than forty people gathered, all around Lu Ping'an and the other two.
Di Guangji said: "Although among the top sixteen, we have one less person than Jixia Academy, but on the whole, this is already a pretty good result, and all of us are proud of the three of you!
"Yes!"
Lu Ping'an and the three of them arched their hands and said.
Di Guangji said: "Okay, I won't talk nonsense, go and fight hard, we will cheer you on the sidelines!"
Then, Lu Ping'an and the three walked out of the rest area and entered the competition venue.
Everyone in the Cloud Sword Sect watched them leave, their eyes full of anticipation.
It didn't take long for the draw to be completed, and Lu Ping'an walked onto the designated test table according to the results of the draw.
On the opposite side of the stage, there was a woman with heavy makeup, in her twenties, with an extraordinary appearance, a graceful posture, wearing a red dress, and the overall look was quite charming and moving.
But Lu Ping'an didn't care too much about her appearance, and still treated it with a very serious attitude, not daring to take it lightly.
