91. Semi-final (1)
The rules of the semi-finals are different from those of the preliminary round, and there are also ten rings, and those who pass the preliminary round and the masters who have become famous in the rivers and lakes can go up, but only ten people can advance to the finals.
The rule is simple: whoever is still in the ring by the end of the rematch is the winner. But if you want to hold a ring until the last moment in a martial arts conference with countless masters, how easy is it?
Therefore, the semi-final is the most brutal of the three events of the martial arts conference, and it is also the most concerned one, and the ten winners who successfully hold the ring are the ten rookies on the rivers and lakes in the next five years, and they will definitely be famous all over the world.
And the final five days later, of course, is the competition between these ten people.
The number of participants in the semi-finals was much lower than in the initial round, and a large number of people who joined in the fun and tried to fill the numbers were screened out in the preliminary round. So when Chi Yi walked into Gumu Villa this time, he could obviously feel that there were more than half of the people coming and going around him.
Although it is still very crowded and noisy.
"Brother Chi, this way!"
Lei Ding stood under the ring and saw the figure of Chi Yi and his party from afar, so he hurriedly waved at him and shouted, and said with a smile after watching them approach, "How are you resting these days?" Last time you kept saying that you were bored, but this time you're going to play, how about it, aren't you excited? ”
"It's a little exciting, it's the first time to participate in the ring and say that it's not exciting, that's definitely a lie." Ji Yi also laughed.
"Tsk, I'm going to play today, if you accidentally bump into you, brother, you must be merciful." Lei Ding shook his head exaggeratedly and sighed.
Chi Yi looked at his contrived expression and suddenly smiled. "There are ten rings in total, do you want to grab one with me?"
"Hahaha, I'm just talking about it. Eh, why are you all here in the Cloud Palace, and who are you going to let go? Lei Ding laughed a few times, and suddenly turned his head to see the people behind Chi Yi, and his expression was a little surprised.
"What, is there a limit to the number of people here?" Chi Yi raised his eyebrows.
"Not really." Redding replied.
"Then go up and try everything you want to go, and finally participate in a martial arts conference, how can you do it without going on stage to feel it?" As he spoke, Chi Yi turned his head and glanced at the people behind him, and sure enough, he received a large number of sparkling eyes.
"Poof, that makes sense." Lei Ding didn't know what to say for a while, so he directly pulled Chi Yi and walked to the stands.
This time, the number of participants was reduced, and the location of the stands and the ring was changed accordingly, and the distance between the stands and the ring became closer, and the distance between the rings became smaller.
Chi Yi's seat was still next to Xiao Buqing, and when he walked over, he happened to see Xiao Buqing and Guo Sheng walking towards this side with a smile, and it seemed that the two had a good relationship.
But Chi Yi, who knew the original plot and deliberately took a lot of effort to investigate, knew in his heart that the relationship between the two was far less intimate than on the surface.
The best way to deal with the mainstream literary male protagonist www.biquge.info Biquge is really a beauty, Chi Yi looked at Xiao Buqing, his eyes always intentionally or unintentionally skimmed to the splendid fairy who was standing quietly in front of the stands, and thought to himself.
I don't know what method the Heavy Underworld Church uses to sow discord between the two? In the original text, Guo Sheng was seriously injured by Xiao Buqing and then attacked to death by Qin Qian, and now although Guo Sheng and Xiao Buqing have some estrangement, it is far from the point where they need to face each other with swords, what should the Heavy Underworld Church do?
Chi Yi touched his chin, feeling very curious. When Ye Ze and the others came to him that day, although he didn't want to have anything to do with the Heavy Netherworld Sect, but he was afraid of Ye Ze's existence, and he couldn't completely offend the Heavy Netherworld Sect, so after thinking about it, he threw out a useful piece of information to show them goodwill, which can be regarded as a means to show them his strength: You see, what you Chong Netherworld Sect can't find out, we can know in the Cloud Palace.
As for what the Heavy Hell Church will do next, and what kind of ending Guo Sheng will have, Chi Yi said that it has nothing to do with him.
Chi Yi was distracted for a moment, and suddenly felt that a gaze was fixed on him, and he subconsciously turned his eyes along the line of sight, and saw Xun Zhang walking towards them from the next step of the stage.
"Xun Zhang!" He was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but be very happy, there were so many things that had happened in the recent period, if it wasn't for Xun Zhang's initiative, he would have almost forgotten Xun Zhang.
"Look, there's a man!" At this time, Ying Rong also noticed Xun Zhang's arrival, and she immediately reached out and tugged at Su Xue's sleeve, signaling her to look over there.
"Ah, he's here again, he left without even saying hello in the last preliminary round, this time he knows that he came to us?" When Su Xue saw Xun Zhang appear, she flattened her mouth and began to mumble.
But when she heard what she said to the ears of the others, everyone looked at each other and smiled tacitly.
"What are you laughing at?" Su Xue felt a little inexplicable when she saw this.
At this time, Xun Zhang finally came to everyone, he glanced at everyone, and bowed down to Chi Yi as soon as he lifted the hem of his clothes, "Disciple Xun Zhang greets Master." ”
Chi Yi hurriedly got up and grabbed him, and Wen Yan said, "You don't have to be like this, you can just call me to teach, this seat is just teaching the Fa on behalf of the teacher, and you can't be called a master." ”
Xun Zhang was stunned when he heard this, and said with a somewhat hesitant expression, "But"
"Okay, Zhou Shen and they are all like this, and you can't be an exception." Chi Yi interrupted him, pulled Xun Zhang up from the ground with a force in his hand, and reached out to pat him on the arm, and then turned to other things.
"You can be regarded as coming, I haven't waited for you for so long, and I think you really don't want to come."
Xun Zhang listened to the undisguised joy in his words, and was a little moved in his heart for a while, so he lowered his head and explained a few words, "The disciple has gone home these days, and he has taken care of all the affairs at home, and he rushed back after selling the real estate and house. In addition, the disciples who were given by the master of the exercises have already begun to cultivate. ”
"Oh? How does it feel? Chi Yi nodded and asked.
"The disciple can't say clearly, he just knows that he has already practiced some internal strength, and the sword pavilion swordsmanship has also been practiced in the first four styles." Xun Zhang thought for a moment and answered honestly.
Trained internal strength so quickly?
Chi Yi was shocked when he heard this, and immediately motioned for him to stretch out his hand to carefully check his pulse, and after a look, he found that he really had internal qi in his body.
is really talented, with a sound attack basic method, he can cultivate the internal skills of the Sword Pavilion. Chi Yi was immediately overjoyed, and he didn't say much to Xun Zhang, and entered the system as soon as his mind moved, and immediately extracted the martial arts of Gao gradually for Xun Zhang.
During this time, he finally pushed the level to the forty-second level, and some time ago, Chi Yi exchanged the Wanchuan Autumn Water for himself, and he didn't need to fuse anything in the short term, so he accumulated the number of souls, and now it is just for Xun Zhang.
After the extraction, Chi Yi was not in a hurry to go out, and directly took out the paper and pen in the lounge, and wrote down the exercises one by one.
Because time has been stagnant when he entered the system, when Chi Yi finished copying Xiao Gao's Yi Shuihan and came out, he was just stunned in the eyes of everyone.
"Since you have entered my Cloud Palace, this exercise will be handed over to you." Chi Yi handed him the exercises, and couldn't help but sigh as he spoke, his words were full of regret, "It's a pity that you came too late, otherwise, with your talent, you can go up and fight for it in this rematch." ”
Xun Zhang didn't care when he heard this, but solemnly stretched out his hand to take the book with the ink not dry, and after thanking Chi Yi, he stood aside and flipped through it with love.
While a few people were talking, the rematch had officially begun. Chi Yi returned to his seat and sat down, Xiao Buqing also said goodbye to Guo Sheng, and walked to Chi Yi's side and sat down. Xun Zhang, along with all the disciples, stood quietly behind Chi Yi, quietly staring at the wooden rings lined up below.
Everyone knows in their hearts that since the rule is that the champion who sticks to the end wins, it is natural that the later the game, the better. So when Lake announced the start of the match, there was an awkward silence on the field, and the ten rings were empty, and no one wanted to play.
After a moment of silence, a man in gray standing at the end of the stand laughed loudly, pulled out the steel knife in his hand and strode into the ring.
"Since no one wants to go, then Lao Tzu will be the first one!" The man in gray had a very loud voice, and almost everyone in the audience heard a word.
After he walked on the stage, he rolled up his sleeves casually, revealing two thick arms, raised his chin to the stage and continued to shout loudly, "A certain Dingzhou Zhang Jie, which of you dares to come up and fight me?" ”
"I'm coming!"
With Zhang Jie taking the lead, there were people willing to play one after another, and the atmosphere in the ring gradually became hotter, and Xun Zhang couldn't help but go down to fight two games, but he only lasted two.
When it was almost noon, Chi Yi estimated that the time was almost up, so he asked the disciples behind him to go down to the ring to compete. Seeing Chi Yi's movements, Xiao Buqing also motioned for the disciples behind him to step down from the stands.
"Chi Zhangjiao, you and my disciples are all on the field, I don't know if Chi Zhangjiao dares to make a bet with Xiao?" Xiao Buqing watched everyone walk down the stands, turned his head and said to Chi Yi.
"Why bet on your disciples, is Master Xiao afraid that you and I won't have the opportunity to compete?" Chi Yi was impatient with this kind of rotten routine, and replied blandly before moving his gaze back to the ring.
Xiao Buqing was choked by his words, and his tone suddenly became displeased, "What, doesn't the Chi Zhangjiao dare to bet with me?" ”
"Master Xiao has this idle effort, it is better to care more about yourself, I hope that Master Xiao will still have this leisure in the near future."
Chi Yi replied to him lightly, and Xiao Buqing, who heard his strange words, immediately raised his vigilance to the highest, staring at him with his eyes and asking, "What did you do?" ”
"Nothing was done." Chi Yi smiled at him, "I'm just watching a show." ”
Xiao Buqing frowned when he heard this, and looked him up and down suspiciously, but finally closed his mouth,
