Chapter 17: The First Challenge

"I!Challenge for fifth place, Liang Suo!"

The crowd talked a little bit, and then continued to be silent, waiting for the contest. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although Liang Suo is the fifth of the "quasi-six-star", his strength is now difficult to compete for the six-star position.

Therefore, although Zheng Zhuangzhuang's challenge is "quasi-six-star", it does not make everyone feel inappropriate, but feels normal.

Judging from Zheng Zhuangzhuang's strength at this time, the other five "quasi-six-star" ones are really competitive.

Liang Suo on the opposite side frowned, he didn't want to face Zheng Zhuangzhuang very much, he knew that his strength was not as good as Zheng Zhuangzhuang, but he couldn't accept defeat in the hands of this dead fat man, but he was afraid of something.

There is no way, he is not strong enough, he will be eliminated after all, but Zheng Zhuangzhuang challenged in advance and wanted to take his place.

Liang Suo sighed slightly, lifted his sword, and stepped forward with a helpless and gloomy face.

"Brother Zhuangzhuang, for my brother, I know that I am not your opponent, please don't start too hard, we can learn from each other!"

When Zhuang Zhuang heard this, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he smiled exaggeratedly: "Ahaha, it's easy to say! I will definitely leave you a good face." ”

This exaggerated performance seems to adults to be just a little childish, so they laugh a little, but in the eyes of their peers, it is not at all like that.

"Provocation! Naked, naked, naked provocation! I can't bear it!"

"Oh! This thing is really shameless! Liang Suo is just modest with him, and he still believes it!"

"If it had been half a year ago, I would have smoked him!"

“……”

A group of teenagers were dissatisfied below. The clan elder in charge of presiding didn't care so much, and directly announced:

"Qualifying competition, let's go!"

"Pick up!"

As soon as the clan elder announced the start of the order, Liang Suo made a lightning move.

He knows very well that he is not a strong opponent, and he can't fall into the disadvantage at the beginning, only by taking the initiative first, can he hold a few more moves, so as not to lose too ugly.

"Sword Lock Kill!"

Seeing Liang Suo's sword swing, Zheng Zhuangzhuang unhurriedly raised the war hammer and blocked.

Whether it's a frontal slash, a side attack, or a rear-back slash, Zhuang Zhuang always only moves a few steps, cleverly dodges, or is blocked by a warhammer.

The two fought for tea, and Zheng Zhuangzhuang began to fight back, although Liang Suo struggled to resist Zheng Zhuangzhuang's changing and powerful moves, but there was a big gap in the strength of the realm, and the broadsword in his hand was smashed away, so he could only admit defeat.

"Zheng Zhuangzhuang successfully challenged Liang Suo and temporarily ranked fifth!"

The clan elder announced the results loudly, held his head high proudly, enjoyed the praise of the audience, and proudly walked out of the arena.

……

"What do you think, eldest brother?" asked the second uncle of Zishang, the clan Lao Ziling, quietly.

Ziyun frowned and didn't speak, and after being silent for three breaths, he said slowly: "This kid's footwork and hammer technique are obviously not what we have in our collection. Could it be ...... Is there really a chance left by the immortals in the Immortal Cave?"

Ziling wondered: "But why didn't we have anything when we went? Could it be that we are old and lack of luck?"

"Yes...... I really didn't see how promising they were before, and Murong Zhixi was quite talented among them, but she didn't have a lot of opportunities to be strong, and even Zili, Zilong and other talents had been there back then, so why didn't they see any opportunities?"

"Who can say anything like luck and chance, even if it is an existence like Wu Xian, who surpasses the Divine Fangshi, he can only sense it, but he can't say it clearly, he can only understand it, not say it!" Ziyun replied.

Looking at Zishang who was concentrating on the opposite side, and then at the strong and strong people, Ziyun thought for a while and said: "Maybe it's really this so-called opportunity, which makes their luck stronger and the future prospects are broader, in short, it is definitely beneficial and harmless for the revival of Dashang!"

Zi Yu nodded and said, "Well, this is true, if they have more opportunities, they will be able to narrow the gap with Yinghao's power group, or even surpass them." ”

"Yes, now that Ying Hao is in power, gathering the power of the world to build their own sphere of influence, if they only rely on their own hard training, even if they are extremely talented Zilong, it will be difficult to catch up with Ying Hao in another fifty years. Another old man agreed.

Ying Hao, who overthrew Dashang twenty-eight years ago, was in the middle of the double realm of refining the gods, and was an immortal Tianjiao.

In the past 30 years, he has created a lot of wealth, the level of science and technology has been greatly improved, the national strength has been greatly enhanced, and the fortune of the dynasty has risen rapidly, which is comparable to the period of Wuding Zhongxing.

However, Ying Hao also implemented tyranny, imposed a large number of taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and suffered serious exploitation and oppression, the people's living standards were still low, and class contradictions were still fierce.

However, Ying Hao used the power of the regime to gather a lot of cultivation treasures he needed, and now he has broken through to the late stage of the Fourfold Realm of God Refining, and at the same time, in his power group, there are also three people who have broken through to the God Refining Realm, and sixteen people have reached the peak of the Qi Refining Realm.

……

"In the next game, the sub-merchant will challenge. ”

Hearing the shouts of the clan elder, Zishang knew that he had to play, so he put away the "Zhan Chen" and walked quickly to the venue.

He looked around and saw that Zixu was still in the third position, and opened his mouth to challenge him, but he glanced at Zheng Zhuangzhuang, who was whistling and triumphant not far away, and frowned.

"I, challenge the fifth place, Zheng Zhuangzhuang!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but be surprised and started to talk about it.

And Zixu, who had already picked up the double knife, was also stunned for a moment, he originally thought that Zishang would challenge him, he ranked third, and his strength was not much different from Zishang, and he was most likely to be challenged by Zishang.

And just now, Zishang obviously wanted to choose him, but for some reason, he changed his attention temporarily.

Could it be that it was because yesterday, Zhuang Zhuang's hidden strength defeated Zishang, and Zishang felt that he had been tricked, so he challenged him?

Actually, this is not the case, Zishang's weapon has just been replaced with a bronze sword "Zhanchen", and his swordsmanship has greatly decreased, and if he fights against Zixu, who is close to the late stage of the Sevenfold Realm, there is a ninety percent probability of being defeated.

Challenging Zheng Zhuangzhuang is different, even if he can't beat it, it is not a problem to escape and defend, after all, the Fengliu swordsmanship has made Zishang's skills flexible and agile to a certain extent.

And Zhuang Zhuang is now ranked fifth, one place higher than him, challenging him, not only to improve his ranking, but also to practice swords, and to wash away yesterday's "shame", killing two birds with one stone.

Zheng Zhuangzhuang, who was originally a little worried, was stunned for a moment after seeing the bronze sword in Zishang's hand, and then breathed a sigh of relief and went on the field calmly.

"Yo, Zishang, where's your soft sword?" Zheng Zhuangzhuang asked cheaply, "Oh! I remember, I was smashed with a hammer yesterday. Tut-tut, I'm really embarrassed! I made you change careers! It doesn't affect the competition, right?"

The little fat man squeezed his eyebrows as he spoke, and whoever saw it wanted to fight.

"Zhuangzhuang! Don't think that you won me by luck yesterday, just think that you are better than me! Today my injury has healed, and the one who wins must be me! You, no play!"

The smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and the verbal contest between the two sides immediately made the atmosphere solemn......

Zishang slowly lifted the bronze "Zhanchen" sword, and looked at Zheng Zhuangzhuang coldly, his whole body muscles were tense, his fists were clenched, and his legs were slightly bent, ready to go.

Zheng Zhuangzhuang didn't dare to be careless, holding the hammer in both hands, ready to pick it up at any time, snorted coldly, and waited for the order.

"Let's go!"

"Yikes!"

Zishang and Zhuang Zhuang shot at the same time, and the green light of the "Zhanchen Sword" flashed, making a "sigh" sound of cutting the wind, and the big hammer cracked and the landslide smashed, and everyone's eyes widened.

Sonor!

Before his eyes could blink, the bronze sword and the black hammer smashed together, making a huge roar, shaking a wave of air and kicking up a square meter of dust around him.

Everyone watching the game couldn't help but take half a step back, which also caused a burst of exclamations.

However, this time in the collision, Zishang was forced to take three steps back, although he was in the middle of the Sevenfold Realm, and Zhuang Zhuang also had the early stage of the Sevenfold Realm, plus the weight advantage of the big hammer, Zishang lost slightly.

However, the "Zhanchen" sword was tough and sharp, and with a fierce collision, an inch-deep scar was carved into the strong hammer.

Seeing the terrifying slash marks on the hammer, Zheng Zhuangzhuang couldn't help but be shocked, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly picked up the hammer, bullied himself again, and fought with Zishang.

Sonorous sonor!

Although the bronze sword was used for the first time, both soft and hard swords were melee combat, and Zishang was not afraid of fighting strength or physical strength, and he could also hone new swordsmanship to cope with future challenges.

The more the two fought, the more fierce they became, shaking up a lot of dust, although Zishang changed his weapons, but his attack was fierce, and he could only focus on defense when he was strong, and occasionally fought back.

After fifty rounds, Zheng Zhuangzhuang's physical strength gradually ran out, but he was not simple, and he actually resisted for fifty rounds, perhaps because he was larger and his weapon was a hammer, so he was more able to fight.

The more Zishang fought, the happier he became, although he was not yet comfortable with the use of the "Zhanchen" sword, he was already familiar with a lot. This is very beneficial for him to challenge Zixu in the second round.

At this time, Zishang even hoped that Zheng Zhuangzhuang would hold on for another fifty rounds and continue to let him hone his swordsmanship.

Suddenly, the strong iron hammer slammed down, stopping Zishang's figure, and at the same time retreating with his strength, he distanced himself from Zishang, gasping for breath, and a lot of sweat appeared on his fat face.

Zishang also stopped, wiped the sweat from his forehead as well, and said, "What's wrong? No, don't be cowardly, come again, come again!"

Although he knew that Zheng Zhuangzhuang was taking the opportunity to recover his strength, Zishang was not worried, Zheng Zhuangzhuang recovered a little more physical strength, he would be able to fight for a while longer, and Zishang would be able to hone his swordsmanship for a little longer.

As for winning or losing...... Yesterday he was just injured, and he was a little careless, although today he only had the strength of the middle stage of the Sevenfold Realm, and he also changed his weapon, but Zishang didn't think that Zheng Zhuangzhuang would be able to defeat him.

"Cut, I'm afraid of you, I'll come!" Zhuang Zhuang took a deep breath and ran slowly, the big hammer ready to pick up at any time.

Zishang chuckled, raised his sword and killed, and with an ordinary move, he swirled and slashed, and all the power in the middle of the Seven Realms was output.

At this time, a strange smile appeared on the corner of Zheng Zhuangzhuang's mouth. Zishang didn't notice just now that although Zheng Zhuangzhuang was running slowly, he was taking one step at a time, his leg muscles and arm muscles were tense, his blood vessels were distinct, and a powerful force was ready to go.

Zheng Zhuangzhuang's face began to become hideous, and his face was flushed. The strength of the whole body was concentrated on both hands, and the moment the two were a foot apart, the sledgehammer suddenly picked up, bringing gusts of wind.

"Avalanche Crack!"

Rumble!

The power of this hammer instantly reached the late stage of the Sevenfold Realm, and even the peak, and it drove his body forward for more than half a zhang at once, and came directly in front of Zishang.

After all, Zishang's spinning slash was half a beat slower, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he stopped trying to slash his spinning body, put his sword in front of his chest, and blocked it.

A day later, Zheng Zhuangzhuang's hammer smashed Zhongzishang again, and the "Zhanchen" sword came out of his hand and fell aside.

Fortunately, a sword just now offset fifty percent of the strength, and Zhuang Zhuang finally collected two percent of the strength, Zishang only took seven steps back, stumbling and not falling.

Steady foot, Zishang raised his head, but saw a black shadow rushing towards him, he hurriedly rolled to the side, but it was still a little late, the hammer hit Zishang's left shoulder, and made him roll several times.

Zishang struggled to stand up with both hands and shook his head a little dazed, but before he could come to his senses, he was crushed to the ground by a large mass of meat, which made him breathless.

"You've lost!hahahaha!" Zheng Zhuangzhuang laughed arrogantly.

"The sub-merchant challenge failed! ”

Hearing this result, Zishang felt a little aggrieved and a little incredulous.

"Damn! Could it be that this fat dun really got some chance? It's too!" Zishang thought to himself.

Then it was Liang Suo's turn to challenge, he looked left and right, sighed, and gave up.

Next is Murong Zhixi's challenge, but she also chose to give up, after all, she is only close to the peak of the Sixfold Realm, even Zheng Zhuangzhuang She can't win, not to mention that she is still ranked fourth, higher than Zhuangzhuang's fifth ranking, there is no need to challenge.

Zixu is the same, knowing that he is not the opponent of the sub-axis and sub-chapter, he gave up.

In the end, as everyone expected, the sub-chapter challenged the sub-axis.

These two people did not take any shortcuts in the competition, nor did they hide their strength like Zheng Zhuangzhuang, it was completely a competition of strength.

After three quarters of an hour, everyone watching the game applauded, the audience outside the stadium watched it happily, and the two people on the field were also very happy.

Both of their weapons were slashed hot, and the blades of their swords were curled, and sparks were slashed several times.

In the end, the sub-axis was superior and defeated the sub-chapter again. However, Zi Axis was also tired enough, and Zi Zhang's strength had improved slightly, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

At this point, the first round of challenges is over.

1st place: sub-axis

2nd place: sub-chapter

Third place: Zixu

Fourth place: Murong Zhixi

Fifth place: Zheng Zhuangzhuang

Sixth place: sub-merchant

……

Only Liang Suo was replaced by Zheng Zhuangzhuang in the top six, which seems to have not changed much, but this is only the first round of challenges, and the second round of challenges will be held tomorrow morning.
