Chapter 274: Survival of the Fittest
When Yang Qing and his party came to the central square of the city, they saw that fierce battles were going on in every ring, and people were disqualified from the competition every moment.
On both sides of the square, there are two tall jade biblios, on which are displayed the names of rows of monks, and behind them are their achievements, all of them, without exception, all of them are undefeated.
Of course, it is also possible that they offset the defeat with the victory, after all, if they have a record of defeat, it means that they must not fail again, otherwise they will be eliminated.
"Qianqian, you guys are here now to take a look at the strength of the top few people, if it's not their opponents, remember to avoid them when the time comes."
This hidden dragon list competition is not a big competition of sects, there is no referee, there is no point, every time the hidden dragon list competition is held, a large number of monks are killed in battle.
The population of Silvermoon Island is too large, and what is really scarce are those monks who are qualified to participate in the Hidden Dragon List competition, as for these monks who cannot enter the official competition of the Hidden Dragon List, Silvermoon Island has never been lacking, even if they are killed, there is nothing to be sorry for.
Yang Qing didn't want Duan Qianqian to have any accidents in the battle, so she asked her to observe the strength of many monks first, and she had a bottom in her heart.
After instructing Duan Qianqian, Yang Qing randomly found a ring without a fight and walked towards it.
Seeing Yang Qing in the ring, his opponent immediately had a bitter face, this is a demon who picks dozens of monks in the merge period, how can he, a distracted little monk, deal with it.
"I throw in the towel!"
The monk said very simply.
Instead of risking his life to fight Yang Qing, wasting time and energy, it is better to go down and recuperate, anyway, he still has more than a dozen victories on him, which is more than enough to offset one defeat.
After this monk went down, the ring where Yang Qing was located was directly cold, and no one dared to come up to challenge Yang Qing. Only Yang Qing stood on it a little bored.
If it weren't for the fact that the champion would automatically increase his winning score by thirty every day, Yang Qing would have to go to other rings to challenge one by one, but now, Yang Qing is happy to leisurely for a whole year, and in the end he will easily advance.
Yang Qing, who was idle and had nothing to do, began to watch the battles in the other rings.
The first thing Yang Qing observed was the battle of Lian Liangce, who was ranked first on the jade bi, Lian Liangce was a mid-stage cultivator of the merger, and his strength was very strong, which was slightly inferior to Cui Hongtao of the Linghe Sect.
Lian Liangce's strength is so strong. It stands to reason that no one will challenge him, he should be like Yang Qing, "sitting on the cold bench" on the side.
But he can't stand this Lian Liangce is a battle maniac, if others don't come to challenge him, he will challenge others, and fight one ring after another.
Fortunately, he still knew how to restrain and did not make a dead move, otherwise it would definitely cause public anger.
Lian Liangce commanded a flying sword. The flying sword was shrouded in a black halo, which made people feel like their thinking was a few beats slower at a glance. It's not a powerful move, but it's going to knock your opponents over one after another.
In the following time. Yang Qing watched the battle of the next few monks on the jade bi one by one. The first seven monks were all Combined Stage Monks, but the eighth was just a Distraction Peak Monk.
After all, most of these monks who need to participate in the second round of tests are casual cultivators, and some are weaker disciples in various sects.
There can be seven Monks in this city. It's already good, after all, these monks are not even a thousand years old, compared to the eight thousand years of lifespan in the combined period. Even if it's childhood.
"Under the terrifying population base of the entire Silver Moon Island, geniuses emerge in an endless stream, and even in the midst of casual cultivation, many Merge Stage cultivators can be born." Yang Qing sighed softly.
However, the ranking of the record on the jade bi does not represent the ranking of strength, and there are many powerful monks like Yang Qing, who guard a ring as the main and are not keen on fighting.
Yang Qing wants to be a champion leisurely and stay safe until the end of the second round of the test, but some things are not what you want to do.
In particular, some monks have not seen Yang Qing's true strength, and they feel too good about themselves, so they don't take Yang Qing, an out-of-body stage monk, seriously.
"You've been in this ring long enough, it's time for a different champion!"
A young man wearing blue-black armor with a distracted late-stage cultivation stepped into the ring and said to Yang Qing, who was idle and bored.
"Heh, then you can try it!" Yang Qing chuckled lightly and said indifferently.
Seeing that someone actually dared to challenge Yang Qing, many monks were immediately attracted to attention.
"There are still people who dare to challenge Yang Qing, I really don't know if the artist is bold, or the ignorant is fearless?"
"After seeing Yang Qing's strength, he still dared to go up and challenge, he should have some strength, right? After all, there is no limit to life and death in this ring, and no one will risk their lives, right? ”
"I'm afraid that he came later, and he didn't see Yang Qing's strength at all." A monk said quietly.
Hearing this, the other monks all stopped and looked at each other, for if that was the case, they thought that a tragedy was about to happen.
"Since you don't want to go down by yourself, then I'll beat you down!"
As the young man spoke, a flying sword flew out of his eyebrows, and countless sword shadows burst out in an instant, shooting towards Yang Qingzhuo.
Among the countless sword shadows, there were also more than a dozen cyan wind runes, making the speed of these sword shadows faster and their trajectories more uncertain.
Yang Qing shook his head, this kind of large-scale attack is usually used to deal with sieges, or to contain the opponent, the other party actually used this trick to launch a strong attack on him, it seems that he didn't take him seriously at all!
"I've been the champion for so long, and no one dares to challenge it, didn't you think about it before you came up?"
As Yang Qing spoke, he waved his hand lightly, and the sword shadow in the sky suddenly dissipated.
"Oh, I was prepared!"
As soon as the sword shadow in the sky dissipated, the flying sword controlled by the young man instantly skyrocketed, came to Yang Qing's face, and stabbed towards his eyebrows.
"Ding!"
On the middle finger of Yang Qing's right hand, countless runes appeared, becoming like jade, exuding a warm luster, and with a flick, the flying sword in front of him flicked away.
Before the young man could react, a large fist formed by a mass of stone condensed directly hit him.
"Click-click-"
With a cracking sound of bones, the young man collapsed and rolled off the ring.
"With this strength, even I am not as good as me, and I dare to challenge Yang Qing, I really don't know whether I live or die!"
"Well, I thought I'd see a pinnacle fight! Who knew it would be such a result! ”
"I really made that fellow Daoist just now right, the reason why this young man dared to challenge Yang Qing was because he didn't know Yang Qing's strength at all!"
With the lessons of this young man, those latecomers who had not seen Yang Qing's strength all began to ask the surrounding monks.
After knowing Yang Qing's record, he was immediately included in the list of not to be provoked.
Yang Qing was obviously a strong candidate to compete for the top few places in the Hidden Dragon List, and he was unable to directly participate in the official competition of the Hidden Dragon List, also because he betrayed the Spirit Crane Sect, and there was obviously no one here who could fight against him.
After watching the battle for several days in a row, Duan Qianqian and the others also began their own challenges.
Even the weaker Shang Huai Six are all in the top twenty in the Linghe Sect Competition, and it is naturally very easy to deal with these ordinary scattered cultivators and small sect cultivators.
Soon, they each defeated an opponent, occupied a ring, and became the champions.
However, they did not have Yang Qing's deterrent power, and there were constantly monks on the stage to challenge them, and in just one hour, they defeated more than forty opponents one after another.
Such a winning streak finally let the monks below know that the strength of these out-of-body stage monks is definitely not weaker than that of the distraction peak monks.
This is only the second round of the test, not to compete for the ranking of the hidden dragon list, when encountering such a powerful champion, many monks will choose other rings to challenge.
So in the following time, Duan Qianqian and the others also got the same treatment as Yang Qing, and no one came to challenge them anymore, which made them relaxed.
Four months later, Lian Liangce's challenge maniacs had won 10,000 victories and were eligible to participate in the official competition of the Hidden Dragon List, and their names had disappeared from the jade bibs on both sides.
"I've been watching the game for four months, and now it's time for me to make a move!"
Among the monks watching the battle below, a monk with a sinister look on his eyebrows laughed softly.
This monk's name is Wei Hongfeng, although the sect is only a small sect of the thirty-seven rank evil paths, but his cultivation has reached the early stage of integration.
After the second round of the test began, he did not rush to challenge, but patiently watched the battle after battle, recording his opponent's tricks and weaknesses.
It wasn't until today that he decided to challenge when he thought the time was ripe, and the first opponent he chose was Duan Qianqian.
In his opinion, although Duan Qianqian's trick is powerful, the positive power is not strong, and as an out-of-body stage cultivator, the amount of true yuan is seriously insufficient, as long as her true yuan is consumed, she can easily defeat it.
The moment Wei Hongfeng stepped into the ring, Yang Qing had already noticed the situation here.
"Merge Monk?"
Following Yang Qing's side, Duan Qianqian had seen the monks of the Merge Period many times, and she was naturally very familiar with the aura of the Heaven and Earth Law Phase in the Merge Period.
"Throw in the towel! If you admit defeat now, I can spare your life, but if I make a move, you will definitely die!" Wei Hongfeng looked at Duan Qianqian and said in a cold voice.
"If you want to fight, you will fight, why is there so much nonsense?"
Duan Qianqian's face turned cold, and a huge white lotus flower appeared at her feet, protecting her inside.
"Okay, okay, since you gave up the chance to live, then you go and die!"
Wei Hongfeng shouted angrily, and his body directly elongated and became larger, turning into a blood-colored tiger, exuding an extremely evil aura. (To be continued......)
