Chapter 17: Destruction and decay
Boom, boom β
As the referee began, the spiritual power in the ring suddenly surged, and a chaotic battle unfolded in full swing.
Before Xiao Jiu could make a move, four or five people around him had already pounced on him at the same time, attacking him with his fists and kicks. With a shake of his body, Xiao Jiu's spiritual power was full of energy, and the high-level strength of the Martial Master Realm was fully revealed, and he shouted and greeted a few people.
The sound of fierce collisions was endless, and the four or five people were all repelled by Xiao Jiuyi's punch. When the visitor saw that Xiao Jiu was a hard stubble, he wanted to retreat, but Xiao Jiu kicked a few times in a row and kicked out a lot of afterimages.
There was a chaotic sound of 'crackling', coupled with the screams of 'oops, oops', and then seeing that those people were all kicked out of the ring by Xiao Jiuyi.
Seeing that Xiao Jiu was so brave, the people around all retreated, away from where Xiao Jiu was, and re-selected the target of attack. He was idle for a while, and there was no one within five feet of him, Xiao Jiu was happy to stand aside and watch coldly.
There was a young man in the ring who was also very brave, and his big fan-like hand was pulled for a while, and those who grabbed it were carried and thrown off the ring, and after a while, he threw down more than a dozen of them.
I saw this young man, with a strong figure and a tiger's back, but his face was very honest, and he didn't say anything to catch people and throw them, and everyone couldn't help but 'chickens and dogs jumping' and dodged one after another.
The young man turned around, just turned in front of Xiao Jiu, didn't look at it, grabbed his arm with both hands and looked out.
"Hi, hi, heyββ!" The young man rotated several times in a row, and Xiao Jiu's feet were so hard that he didn't move as if he was welding in the ring.
"Huh~?you, why are you so heavy, heavy, heavy, can't move! This, what can I do? Forget it, forget it, look, look at you, you're a good person, I, I'd better go, go and pick others!"
Xiao Jiu couldn't help but laugh dumbly, it turned out that this young man was still a stammer, but somehow he decided that he was 'a good person'! This young man didn't grind, and after giving up, he turned around and went to find someone else.
There was a scuffle in the ring, and for a while, people turned on their backs, and people were constantly knocked out of the ring. In an instant, there were only forty or fifty people left in the ring, but the people who were still on the stage at the moment were by no means extraordinary.
Xiao Jiu was watching the battle leisurely, and suddenly two people rushed out with lightning attacking one left and one right.
"You are not from a family, get out of here with acquaintances! There can only be people from the family and the city guards on this stage!"
"Hmph, if you have the ability, you can come!I'm waiting for you!" Xiao Jiu said with a sneer, and the spirit power of the wild horse's mane fists flashed like thunder and roared towards the two of them.
Bang ββ!
Xiao Jiu's fists collided with the opponent's punches, and with a scream, the two of them hugged their arms and retreated.
With a punch from above and a kick at the bottom, Xiao Jiu quickly followed up one of them, between the lightning and flint, his fists and feet were hit, and the person was knocked out of the ring with a bang, and at this time the other person was fleeing around the ring.
"Where to go! Since you attack me, you must have the consciousness of being beaten!"
"I am a member of the Northern Underworld family, as long as my brother lets me go, I will definitely ignore my past suspicions and have a good reward!"
"It's the Northern Underworld family again!
Xiao Jiu's feet tightened, and he instantly chased after him, and just wanted to attack, but he didn't want that person to jump down by himself with a 'snort'.
"Hmph, boy, you wait! dare to offend my Northern Underworld family!"
Xiao Jiu smiled contemptuously, and said in his heart, "If you hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, I would have to beat you up and not be able to take care of yourself!"
The city guards and the players of various families formed several small alliances, specifically against the stronger scattered cultivators, and the helpless scattered cultivators were knocked out of the ring one after another, and several scattered cultivators also formed an alliance to resist desperately when they saw that the situation was not good, but it was too late, and they joined forces to do it.
Xiao Jiu was angry, and when he saw that there were people who were particularly excessive, he shot out of the ring from time to time. In the blink of an eye, there were only ten people left in the ring.
"The qualifiers are over!" the referee loudly announced the end of the qualifiers, and all the qualifiers in the ring were produced.
Next, the referee registers the number plates of the promoted players, and then announces that today's big competition is over, and the round-robin will officially start at 9 o'clock tomorrow.
Xiao Jiu looked at the ten people on the stage now, and the sturdy stammering boy was also impressively listed. After the referee arranged the matter, he jumped out of the ring and prepared to leave.
"Hey~!Old man, don't go! No, isn't it just if you win, just give a prize or reward?"
"Who told you there's a reward now, and you'll only get a reward when you're in the top 200!" the referee said impatiently, glaring at the stammering boy.
"No, no, then, I ββ!."
The young man was sweating profusely, and before he finished speaking, he suddenly fell to the ground unconscious. There was a great confusion among the people, and they didn't know what was going on.
The referee frowned, muttered 'trouble', and went back to the ring, grabbed the boy's wrist, and checked on him.
"Hmm~!He collapsed, as if he hadn't eaten for several days, and he fainted in a hurry!
Everyone shook their heads, and no one knew where it came from.
"What can I do? this fool is such a trouble!" muttered the referee irritably.
"Judge, I think I'll leave this man to me! I'll take care of bringing him to his acquaintances and keeping him safe!
Xiao Jiu stepped forward and said to the referee.
"I'll leave it to you?um~!Okay!Then you can take him away!But you must ensure his safety, otherwise you will be responsible for anything that happens!Hehe, but I need to make a note of you and his situation, so that no one asks, and I have an explanation, right?"
"Good!"
The referee recorded his situation, activated the boy's number plate, checked his condition, and walked away.
Xiao Jiu carried the young man on his back and walked towards the exit, and as soon as he walked out of the martial arts arena, he met Shangguan Zhentian who was waiting here.
"Tianshao, who are you carrying here, why did you come out early, were you also eliminated?" Shangguan Zhentian asked with a look of disappointment.
Behind him stood the four teenagers who participated in the big competition with Xiao Jiu and them, but at the moment they were gray-headed and depressed, and they had obviously been eliminated.
"Hehe, who said I was eliminated?" Xiao Jiu put the boy aside and said with a smile.
"Oh~!, are you, you've advanced to the round-robin, tell me quickly, don't you?" Shangguan Zhentian asked excitedly, not even caring who the young man was.
"Hehe! Fortunately, I won't be dishonored!" Xiao Jiu said with his fists clenched.
"Okay, good, that's great, hahaββ!Oh! yes, who's this?"
Xiao Jiu told Shangguan Zhentian about the origin of this young man, and Shangguan Zhentian didn't say much about Xiao Jiu's nosy, after all, Xiao Jiu had just fought for him.
Gently placed the boy on the ground, then took out a superb Rejuvenation Pill and put it in his mouth, and helped him absorb and digest it. After a while, the boy woke up in a daze, rubbed his eyes, and said in a daze, "W-Where is this?"
"Hehe~!Wake up!How are you feeling?"
"You, who are you? How do you look familiar!Ahββ! you are, you are ββ!"
"That's right, we were fighting just now, and we won't know each other for a while?" Xiao Jiu saw that the young man was too difficult to speak, so he simply told the young man the ins and outs of the matter.
"Thank you, thank you, I, I'll just say you, are you a good person!"
"Okay, stop talking, how does your body feel?"
"I'm hungry, I'm starving, I haven't eaten for three days!" said the young man, touching the back of his head very embarrassedly.
After being hungry for three days, there is no one who is still so brave!
"Boss, bossββ!" Xiao Jiu was about to take the boy to find a place to eat, and the Shangguan brothers and sisters came out with Mu Qianyu, Zhou Xiaohu, Xia Yurou and others.
Seeing that everyone was not injured, Xiao Jiu was relieved.
"How's that, how's that?" Shangguan Zhentian asked eagerly when he saw that everyone was coming over immediately.
"Old man, don't look at who we are! Those guys are just dirt chickens and dogs, and they don't care about it!"
"Talk about people!
"Ouch, old man, why are you hitting me? I've given you a long face! We're all in the round-robin!"
"What? It's all in the round-robin?
"What's impossible! Wouldn't it be clear to you the number plate?"
After speaking, several people handed the number plate to Shangguan Zhentian to check.
"Haha! God bless my Shangguan family! There are actually six people who have advanced to the round-robin tournament, which is unprecedented! In previous years, the relatively strong family, at best, only one or two were promoted! Let's go, I will celebrate you at noon today!"
"Then you'll have to be prepared for 'hemorrhage'!"
"No problem! Let you eat hard today!hehe~!" Shangguan Zhentian felt a little like 'keeping the clouds open and seeing the moon'.
After the joy, everyone found that there was suddenly more people in the team, and they inquired about the situation, and Xiao Jiu explained again.
Everyone asked the boy for details, only to learn that the boy's name was 'Ah Bao', and he was alone and came from a place called 'Niujiagou'. I came here with someone, but I was separated from my companions, and I couldn't find my way back, and I couldn't tell if I asked about other situations, so I simply didn't ask anymore.
The young man was penniless and hungry for three days, and he was wandering blindly on the street, just in time to accept the casual cultivation on the street to sign up for the big competition, but he heard that there was a reward, so he signed up in a daze, so there was the scene just now.
Everyone laughed at the boy's story, but everyone also liked the boy's honest and simple character very much, and a group of teenagers quickly got together.
The group talked and laughed and rushed to the famous restaurant in Fengnan County-Tianxian Pavilion, this time Shangguan Zhentian was really chic. It is said that the things of this Tianxian Pavilion are very expensive, but the service is really thoughtful, the materials are exquisite, and the people who have been there say that they are worth the money and worth the trip.
Looking at it from afar, I saw that this Tianxian Pavilion was like a huge round palace, divided into nine floors, the higher the price the higher it went, and the higher the corresponding identity level. In other words, no matter how rich you are, if you don't have the corresponding status, it is impossible to eat at the top level.
In front of the Tianxian Pavilion, people come and go very lively. Eight charming maids are responsible for welcoming and guiding guests to their places at the door, and they all behave dignified like ladies.
An identity like Shangguan Zhentian could only eat on the first floor, and everyone rushed in under the guidance of the maid.
"Yo he! It turned out to be you! It's really 'stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, and it takes no effort to get there'! Where do you run this time?"
As soon as Xiao Jiu and the others entered the lobby, a discordant voice sounded in everyone's ears, and a storm came unexpectedly.
