Chapter 17: Qualifying begins

Dawn is dawning. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Like a dozen wounded, Zishang rested overnight in the pharmacy. Under the powerful healing effect of the elixir, Zishang's wounds were all healed.

The sunlight shone in through the window, Zishang stood up from the bucket, stretched a big lazy waist, his body "crackled", took a deep breath of fresh air, spit out the turbid air in his body, and was immediately refreshed.

Zishang moved his hands and feet, twisted his neck, and his injuries had healed.

Ziyan's elixir works very well, and his pharmaceutical skills are quite powerful.

In the 600-year history of the Great Shang, except for the sorcerers, the pharmaceutical technology of the royal family has always been the most developed, and the eight heavenly and earth physicians are all members of the royal family.

And Ziyan's grandfather was the last generation of heaven and earth physicians in the Shang Dynasty. Ziyan inherited the mantle, and now he has reached the natural physician in his sixties.

The merchant washed and changed his clothes, hurried home for breakfast, and then went to the workshop of Ou Zhuzi, a famous blacksmith in the village.

Yesterday, after a series of battles, his soft sword was already scarred, and was finally broken by Zheng Zhuangzhuang. In today's qualifying session, he must choose a new weapon to take advantage of.

"Uncle Ou, do you have a soft sword, give me one, my sword was cut down yesterday. ”

As soon as he entered the blacksmith's shop, the merchant shouted to the inner room where the heat was rolling and the sparks were shining.

"On the shop, turn it over by yourself. ”

A deep, deep voice came to the face with a wave of heat.

At the same time as Ou Zhuzi spoke, the merchant had already come to the grocery piles on both sides of the door of the foundry room, rummaging through them "ping pong".

"Hey, hey, don't mess with me!"

Hearing the chaos outside, Ou Zhuzi hurriedly shouted worriedly.

Zi Shang didn't care, he was very happy, his face, hands, and clothes were rubbed with dust, and he turned a pile of all kinds of iron tools into a mess...... A stall...... Spread out......

Listening to the crisp sound of metal collision all the time, Ou Zhuzi couldn't help it, put down the work in his hand, opened the door curtain, leaned out half of his body, and saw the weapons under his feet, and his dark face turned green all of a sudden.

Ou Zhuzi, who was about to roar with his mouth open, was interrupted by the merchant's whispered inquiry.

"Uncle Ou...... This sword...... I want it!"

Zishang was playing with a green bronze sword with patina, the sword was two feet seven inches long, with a flat diamond-shaped sword body and a suona mouth-shaped hilt.

The sword looks like a bit of patina and is not sharp, but if you look closely, you will see that the blade is very sharp, and the scattered patina is also on the inside of the sword face. Moreover, after Zishang threw it from the pile of iron tools just now, the sword was firmly rooted in a thick plank on the ground.

In this way, it successfully attracted the attention of the sub-merchant, the sub-merchant pulled it out, and then scratched on the wooden board for a while, but the sub-merchant who did not use much strength used such a "rusty sword" to cut the wooden board beyond recognition, and the scratch was about three points deep, which was really "three points into the wood"!

But what attracted him the most was that the end of the sword body against the hilt was engraved with two neat inscriptions: "Zhan Chen"

"Hehe, this is an ordinary bronze sword, don't you use a soft sword? What's the matter, have you changed careers?" Ou Zhuzi leaned against the door frame, looked coldly at Zishang who was bowing his head and admiring the sword, and said.

Zishang thought for a moment and replied seriously, "Hmm...... It's almost, the soft sword is indeed not suitable for the high-level body refining realm, and after the qualifying match, I will change to the ordinary iron sword swordsmanship. ”

"Then you have to deal with the next qualifying matches first!

"It's not that I didn't find it, it's that I didn't find it at all, okay!" Zishang pointed to a pile of iron tools on the ground and said helplessly.

"Ahh......h......h Ah......h

After speaking, he couldn't help but show embarrassment, Zishang looked at him with disdain, speechless......

"What, or you can use this ancient bronze sword, and with the strength of your refining body at the peak of the Sevenfold Realm, you can also achieve a good ranking. Ou Zhuzi laughed dryly.

Zishang looked down at the sword in his hand again, frowned, and said, "Is there a mistake, this ...... What kind of logic is this?"

"Oh! Anyway, soft swords and hard swords are swords! Besides, you're messing up my stuff too. That's it, I'll help you customize one in two days, okay!"

“……”

In this way, Zishang took this bronze sword "Zhanchen" to participate in the qualifying competition.

When Zishang came to the top of Shigu Mountain, most of the people had already come, and the sound of discussion could be heard from afar.

"Hey, what do you think Zheng Zhuangzhuang will rank first in this six-star ranking?" asked a middle-aged man in a pale gray robe.

"That little fat man has some doorways, but he will definitely not be able to beat Zi Axis, Zi Zhang, and Zi Xu, Zi Shang should be able to defeat him, after all, it was an accident yesterday, Murong Zhixi's realm is also higher than him, and his swordsmanship skills are also very powerful, and it is estimated that he will be at the bottom. An elegant young man in a white robe next to him analyzed.

"That's not necessarily, although Zishang was injured yesterday, he was also a little careless, but Zhuang Zhuang threatened him with the strength of the early stage of the Six Realms after all, and Zi Xu's strength was slightly inferior to Zishang, and Murong Zhixi's realm was relatively low, in short, this competition was extremely variable, and Zhuang Zhuang still had hope of hitting the third place. Another big man shouted beside him, presumably a relative of Zhuangzhuang.

Zishang looked around and saw Zizhang sitting on a stone with his nails buttoned, so he ran over to say hello.

"Hey, Zizhang! The qualifying round starts soon, how sure do you think you will be in first place this time?"

Zizhang stopped fiddling with his nails, glanced at Zishang, and said, "What do you think? Zizhang was a little stronger than me before he broke through, and now that he has broken through, I haven't yet." So I wasn't interested in qualifying at all. ”

Saying that, he couldn't help sighing, and suddenly Zizhang noticed the emerald green bronze sword on Zishang's waist, and asked in surprise: "Hey, Zishang, why do you use a hard sword? Aren't you a soft sword stream?"

Zishang smiled bitterly: "I can't help it, Uncle Ou Zhuzi took all the soft weapons back to the furnace to refine a high-grade soft armor, so he can only find a bronze sword to use first." ”

"In fact, a soft sword is not as good as a hard sword, a soft sword can't play the sharp characteristics of the sword at all, and there are not many swordsmanship suitable for soft swords, so you should give up the soft sword later." Zizhang kindly persuaded.

"No, if you use a bronze sword to compete now, won't your strength be affected? I thought you could be the third, but it seems that you are still a fool. Zizhang shook his head, and fiddled with his nails again.

Zishang was silent for a while, and was about to say something, when the clan elder began to speak.

"Everyone, be quiet! The contestants have arrived! Now please get ready, in five minutes, the game will begin!"

After the patriarch finished speaking, the children of the contestants began to prepare for the competition.

Qualifying should be based on the ranking of the previous qualifying competition, starting from the player with a low ranking, choose one person to challenge, and if the challenge is successful, you can get the opponent's ranking, and each person has two opportunities to challenge, and the competition is divided into two rounds.

In the first dozen games, there was nothing new, and most of them chose people who were a few places higher than themselves to challenge, and those who succeeded or failed scored five or five points.

Of course, there are exceptions, that is, those little children who "got the inexplicable opportunity of the fairy cave". Most of them challenged themselves by more than a dozen or even twenty, and most of them succeeded.

Until Zheng Zhuangzhuang, who was ranked 22nd in the last session, when he was named by the clan elders, everyone stopped talking, and the eyes of the audience were focused on him.

The little fat man pretended to be silent for two seconds, and then shouted loudly: "I! challenge the fifth place, Liang Suo!"
