Chapter Sixty-Eight: Fighting Again
Others may not understand, but she knows it very well, and the high-level people of the Dao Sect must also know what is going on. She knew how much commotion she had caused, but since she had to win in this way, she had to make the most of it and strive for the maximum profit, which was the imprint of her decades of successful business experience, even if she was now reborn in a completely different world.
She wasn't going to just go back. She had been in the cave for a long time before, and working behind closed doors was not conducive to the improvement of cultivation and the accumulation of experience, and she wanted to see more of other people's competitions, even if it was a reference.
So she wandered around the martial arts arena, looking east and west, and when she encountered a wonderful competition, she came over to observe it, and if her level was average, she would take a look and leave. Walking and walking, she actually saw the competition that Zhilan participated in.
She didn't know much about her maid, so she took this opportunity to take a closer look, so she walked to the edge of the ring and stopped to watch. This is the arena of the disciples of the Qi Refining Period, and suddenly there is an additional uncle in the Foundation Building Period, and anyone who sees it will feel weird and apprehensive. Fortunately, most people's attention was attracted by the two people in the ring, but not many people noticed her arrival, so she was happy to hide aside and say nothing.
I saw the two people on the stage, Zhilan is a cultivator of the fourth layer of qi refining, and her opponent is the fifth layer of qi refining, the difference between the two is not big, if you talk about ability, half a catty and eight taels. It's just that Zhilan's experience is obviously a little lacking, and she often looks forward and drags her back when she fights, and how many good opportunities have been wasted like this, which makes Lin Lan feel sorry for her. It can be seen that her cultivation has only been improved recently, so her foundation is not very strong, and she can fight to this level. It's not easy, but I'm afraid that's the end of it.
Sure enough, in just a few breaths, under a series of powerful spell attacks from the other party, Zhilan had no power to parry, and was knocked out of the ring and declared defeat. The moment she fell into the ring, a trace of paleness flashed on her face, but then she stubbornly pursed her lips again, revealing a resolute look. After standing up and returning to the ring to exchange thank-you salutes with his opponent, he walked back out of the ring.
With tears in her eyes, her head was raised high, and she slowly walked out of the arena with firm steps. Lin Lan stood in the corner. Quietly looking at her, somehow. I thought of my old self. The same stubbornness, the same refusal to admit defeat.
She couldn't help but smile slightly, then turned and walked away.
On this day, she walked back and forth on the martial arts arena, and watched a lot of other people's competitions one after another, and felt that it was deeply inspired and worthwhile. Realizing that he also had a lot of new insights into his fighting style, his mind was a little nervous, so he returned to the cave.
This night, she did not rest. I didn't cultivate, but I revisited the competitions I watched during the day, and then sorted out what I thought and understood in my heart, and then managed to integrate it into my own fighting style.
A whole night passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhilan, who had come to tidy up the cave, woke her up, and it was already dark at this time.
She looked at Zhilan, whose eyes were a little red and swollen, smiled slightly, and said, "I went to see your competition yesterday, and I played well, although I lost the most, but it was a very good experience, and you should be able to learn a lot from it." ”
Zhilan was stunned for a moment, then blushed a little, felt that her nose was sour, lowered her head and said: "It's because the disciple's ability is not enough, and he finally got the help of his uncle and ascended to the fourth layer of qi refining, but he still can't win and embarrass his uncle!" ”
Lin Lan suddenly laughed a little.
She is not from Zhilan, what does Zhilan's failure have to do with her?
However, it was not good to hit Zhilan at such a time, so she coughed dryly and said, "You have just ascended to the fourth level of Qi refining, and your foundation has not yet been consolidated, how can you expect to win your senior brothers and sisters?" The most important thing for you now is not to win, but to lay the foundation, and from this point of view, this defeat is not necessarily a good thing for you. ”
Zhilan suddenly turned a little red and said sneeringly, "Yes...... What Uncle Shi said was that the disciple was too impatient and rash. Thank you Uncle for the reminder, the disciple will definitely pay more attention in the future. ”
She glanced at Zhilan, nodded and said, "No matter how powerful a monk is, he starts from the foundation little by little, and if the foundation is not solid, it will be difficult to make progress in the future." You should not underestimate this foundational matter, go and cultivate with peace of mind, if there is anything you don't understand, you can come and ask me, do you know the Tao? ”
Zhilan's eyes lit up suddenly, and she looked at her and said excitedly, "Uncle Shi, can I really come and ask you?!" ”
Lin Lan spread her hands and said helplessly: "You are my maid, and you are conscientious in your work, how can I leave you alone?" ”
Zhilan bowed excitedly and said loudly, "Thank you Uncle for your support!" ”
Lin Lan smiled slightly, looked at her and said, "Anyway, I don't have anything in this cave mansion, you can just sort it out every other day, and the rest of the time will go to cultivation, strive to improve your cultivation as soon as possible, and have a better future." ”
Zhilan answered, sorted out the things in the cave, and finished cleaning, and then retreated. And Lin Lan returned to the martial arts arena again, carefully choosing the wonderful competition venue, concentrating on observing other people's fighting methods, and accumulating lessons for his own competition.
This was already the last day of the first round of competition, and when the sun set in the afternoon, the first round of competition was finally completed, and after eliminating half of the participating disciples, only the other half of the more than 6,000 people remained, continuing to the second round of elimination.
The order of appearance in the second round is still randomly drawn, but not by the disciples themselves, but by the deacons in charge. Lin Lan looked at her order, but it was her turn to play on the first day, and she couldn't help frowning slightly, but then she let go again.
When she returned to the cave, she also did not practice meditation, but carefully sorted out the lessons she had learned today, and then combined them with her actual situation to synthesize a higher-level combat method. But this method of fighting is just a conjugation in her mind, and it has not yet been practiced, and it seems that tomorrow's competition will be the best opportunity for her to practice her theory and hone her skills at the same time.
Soon, the day dawned, which meant the start of the second round of sect competition. The sixty rings were also all open, and Lin Lan was among the people who played in the second round, so she came to the venue early and watched from the sidelines.
Although many people have been eliminated in the second round of competition, the flow of people in the martial arts arena has not decreased much compared to before, almost everyone has the same idea as Lin Lan, even if they fail, even if they are eliminated, but watching other people's competitions is also a method of cultivation, if you can get inspiration from others, you can enrich your ability. With this belief, many disciples also came here.
In the draw of lots for this round of competition, Lin Lan was unfortunately in a group with Ma Ruowen. When the two real sisters met on stage, Lin Lan only felt that her mouth was full of coptis - she didn't get along very well with Ma Ruowen, and now that she has such a thing, I am afraid that it is an extravagant hope to improve the relationship with Ma Ruowen in this life!
Ma Ruowen is still the same, even in the face of his fellow junior sisters, his face is expressionless, which makes people feel a little pressured. Lin Lan didn't have a penchant for masochism, so she didn't speak, just waiting for the referee to announce the start of the competition. The situation of this pair of sisters getting along with each other really made people have to pinch a cold sweat, and even the people who watched the battle with the audience did not dare to speak out loudly, and looked at them with some trepidation, and the atmosphere was depressing, in stark contrast to the surrounding venues.
On the viewing terrace, everyone, including Qixia Yuanjun, was observing the situation on Lin Lan's side with great interest, and her playful eyes couldn't stop throwing at Miaoyin Daojun, but she couldn't help but smile bitterly and sighed secretly.
Fortunately, the referee did not delay for long and soon announced the start of the competition. Ma Ruowen seems to have been prepared for a long time, and as soon as he got started, he was the first to attack, and he vowed to firmly grasp the initiative in his hands.
As soon as she shook her hand, a group of spinning tops appeared in front of her, one main defender and one main attack, one static and one moving, flying towards Lin Lan.
Lin Lan was stunned at first. There are very few people who use this kind of weapon, let alone a girl, and this time she has opened her eyes. But she immediately came back to her senses, raised her hand, and also used the hairpin to defend.
Soon, she saw what Ma Ruowen's purpose was. I saw that group of spinning tops were spinning in mid-air, drawing trajectories up and down, left and right, Lin Lan was also an expert, and he could see at a glance that it was a formation.
It turned out that Ma Ruowen was also like her, using his own weapons to lay out formations in battle, giving full play to the specialties of the formation mages, taking them by surprise and defeating the enemy.
She was immediately interested.
I don't know which one is more powerful than this gyro array and my own sword array? And what are the characteristics and power of Ma Ruowen's gyroscope array? This was the first time she had seen someone take a similar fighting style to herself, so she was naturally excited, so she only relied on the hairpin and spells to resist Ma Ruowen's attack, and the talisman and formation diagram were temporarily retained.
But then the pressure on her is great. After all, Ma Ruowen's cultivation is higher than her, and in terms of qualifications, he is not inferior to her in the slightest. The contest between these two can be said to be a contest between geniuses, and if one of them gives up the way they are best at fighting, the impact on the outcome will be fatal! (To be continued......)
