Through Du Hao's narration, Liu Qicai learned that this guy turned out to be a gambler, who lost all his money in the Xiangshui City gambling house and owed a lot of debts, so he was hungry for three days after being chased for debts, but this guy was also outspoken and did not hide it.

Through Du Hao and Liu Qi learned at the same time that Xiangshui City is the city of the Xu family, and even the Xiangshui Inn where they are now is the property of the Xu family.

Liu Qi knew that Xu Nantian was naturally the second uncle of the young city lord, and the badge he gave him had a heavenly character printed on it, Liu Qi was a little glad that it was Xu Nantian who met him, otherwise he would be miserable.

The Xiangshui City Youth Strong Selection Contest is divided into two groups according to age, one group from 20 to 25 years old, one group from 26 to 30 years old, and those over 30 years old are not allowed to participate. The rules are also very simple, in the form of elimination, draw lots to choose the opponent, fall or admit defeat and have to leave, the winner can advance to the next round of the duel, the two sides of the battle must not take people's lives, otherwise it will be abolished by the master on the spot.

Of course, if there is an accident and someone dies, and it is not intentional, there will be a ruling by the referee on the field.

The prizes for the victors are also very rich, including money, elixirs, and magic weapons. As long as you win a game, there will be a reward, but the early rewards are mainly money. If you want better rewards, you have to keep moving up. And the rewards will also add up, and the more you win, the richer the rewards.

The final winner of each city will be arranged to go to the royal capital for the final round. This final is of great significance, as it is the key to understanding the situation of young monks across the country, and it is also an opportunity for various forces to test each other's strengths, and those winners will be the objects of competition between them in the future.

After being full of wine and food, Du Hao left by himself, saying that he was going to prepare for the competition in three days. He needs money to pay off his debts and win a few big games.

Liu Qi didn't plan to compete, he didn't lack money, and he didn't need a panacea, but he was very interested in the competition and planned to enter the arena to watch the battle, which was an opportunity for him to learn more about the cultivation methods of various sects.

On the second day, Liu Qi saw a lot of young masters, and with his current cultivation, it was easy to distinguish the strength and weakness of some monks, except for those who had special methods to hide their cultivation. The current Xiangshui Inn is simply Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

On this day, Liu Qi met the young city lord in the Xiangshui Inn, and at this moment, two charming women were hugging left and right, and they were talking happily with a young monk.

"Brother Donghao, I heard that you were broken by a young monk two days ago, and you also lost a servant, do you need me to help you out of anger? The young monk said to the young city lord with an extremely confident expression on his face.

Hearing this, Xu Donghao's eyes were slightly slanted and became gloomy.

"If my damned uncle hadn't shown up at that time, I'm afraid I would have killed him with my own hands, and I would have liked to find him angry, but my damn uncle gave him a badge, and if he was protected by Xu Nantian in Xiangshui City, I was afraid that it would be difficult to attack him. The young city lord Xu Donghao said, and it could be seen from his tone that he had no respect for Xu Nantian, and even disgusted him, but he was very taboo.

"What's so difficult about this, Xiangshui City is now mixed, not many people know that he has a badge, even if he shows the badge, not many people recognize it, at most they think it is a forgery. The young monk smiled sinisterly.

"That's right, haha, I heard that Brother Nangong is very wise, and he is really extraordinary, but my damn uncle is still in the city, let him go for the time being, and when my uncle leaves, I will depose him with my own hands and make him regret provoking me. "The young city lord has a deep taboo against Xu Nantian, and outsiders may not know much about the affairs of the Xu family, but Xu Donghao knows very well in his heart that Xu Nantian once personally abolished a child of the clan who robbed the people's daughter, and he was ruthless.

Moreover, that son's identity is even more noble than that of him, the young city lord, and he is the leader of the younger generation in the clan. For this reason, many people in the clan have deep hostility towards this Xu Nantian, but they are helpless because of Xu Nantian's strong strength.

Liu Qi is not far away, his current spiritual sense is very sensitive, and he can hear it clearly, but the head of the scene is trembling, and the other party doesn't seem to have noticed him yet.

The two days passed quickly, and the people in Xiangshui City came and went, and there were obviously many more people in the city, all of whom were monks who came to compete or watch the battle.

Liu Qi walked into the arena at this time, but it was in the audience, he did not choose to participate, found a vacant seat Liu Qi took a seat, the arena is very large, very grand, can accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time to watch the battle, the arena in the center can be sixty meters long and wide, all paved with smooth marble.

At this moment, the arena was already crowded with people, and the crowd was full of voices.

The competition is matched by a draw of lots, starting with a duel between the 20 and 25-year-old groups.

After a middle-aged monk raised his voice with his true qi to introduce the rules of the match, the first battle began.

Liu Qi's eyesight is very good now, and he can see clearly even though it is far away.

The first battle is a female mage against a male warrior, and at the beginning of the battle, the mage recites a spell and condenses all kinds of powerful magic to attack the male warrior. And the male warrior was not weak, he held a long sword, constantly dodged magic attacks, and looked for opportunities to get close to the female mage.

The mage's body was fragile and could only pull away, and when she saw the warrior attacking, the female mage condensed her magic to block it and quickly moved her position.

By observing their attack methods, Liu Qi could tell that these two people were first-order monks, but that mage seemed to be stronger, and he could always distance himself from the male warrior at critical moments and counterattack.

The first battle was decent, nothing to watch, and finally ended the game with a female mage win.

The second game is a bit interesting, it turned out to be a cultivator versus a martial artist, cultivators are a relatively special profession in the cultivation world, they are not only warriors, but also like mages, they can control weapons to attack opponents, and they can cast spells to set up formations.

Liu Qi remembered the young city lord Xu Donghao, it turned out that he was a cultivator, and Xu Donghao had used two flying swords to attack him. He is very concerned about the cultivator Liu Qi, so far he doesn't know the cultivator's attack methods, and Liu Qi watched this duel very seriously.

The attack of the cultivator in the arena is very fierce, controlling a flying sword, constantly attacking the warrior, even if the warrior attacks closely, the cultivator can quickly take back the flying sword and grasp it in his hand, for melee defense.

Through the observation of Liu Qi found an interesting phenomenon, cultivators rarely use their own weapons to collide with the weapons of the warriors, as if they are afraid of hurting the weapons, they can avoid it, Liu Qi has heard rumors, cultivators not only cultivate themselves, they also cultivate weapons, grow together with weapons, weapons and hearts are connected, so that they can control weapons at will for long-range attacks. When weapons are destroyed, they are also affected physically and mentally.

The battle in the field was fierce, and the warrior seemed to be familiar with the weakness of the cultivator, and he kept using various moves to attack the cultivator's vital point, forcing the cultivator to use his weapon to touch him.

Dangdang, the sound of metal colliding echoed through the arena, and after a few rounds, the cultivator seemed a little annoyed. Began a frantic counterattack, the flying sword in the cultivator's hand significantly increased its speed, and suddenly got out of his hand, he used his hands and feet to dodge the warrior's attack, his hands kept gesturing, and finally his hands were folded, and when he parted his hands again, a magic circle suddenly lit up under the cultivator's feet.

The magic circle lit up, and the battle situation suddenly appeared one-sided, and the attack power of the flying sword seemed to have become stronger, and the warrior was tired of dealing with the flying sword attacking from different directions, and there were many cuts on his body. That formation seemed to strengthen the cultivator's abilities.

"The cultivator is really powerful, and the cultivator is really better in the battle against the same level. A monk next to Liu Qi said.

"That's not necessarily, you see that cultivator, who has set up a magic circle, is already out of breath and can't hold on for long. Someone retorted.
