Chapter 320: The First Battle
The population within a radius of two trillion miles is as high as ten people, and the population density is close to ten people per square kilometer, and the densely populated mortal realm residential areas and even farmland can account for about half of the total area, plus the monk-related buildings and even activity areas can account for nearly two percent of the total area, almost ten times the density of other places. But it's not just the human population or even the monks, the output density of the spirit ore and even the spirit herb elixir is even greater than this. The only thing that is not very common is that the place where monsters are often seen in other places is almost disappeared in this area, and at most it is just a forest made of ordinary giant trees. Even if you occasionally see groups of birds and beasts with spiritual powers, they are often already controlled by human monks.
Of course, Zhang Fan is not very surprised by this. In order to effectively guard this area and prevent possible infiltration risks in the central danger area, the density of monks in this area and even the conditions for monks of various factions are naturally much stronger than those in other areas.
What made Zhang Fan somewhat relieved was that perhaps in order to accommodate some group battles, this time the area of the Heavenly Chosen Martial Arts was much larger than Zhang Fan imagined, although it was not very wide, and there was an area of about 20,000 miles, which made some of his means obviously have more room to play. In particular, the competition area with a radius of 20,000 li and a total of about 100 million square kilometers is about 100 million square kilometers, and only about 20 million square kilometers in the middle is flat land. It is surrounded by a dangerous place with higher and higher terrain, and the difference between the top and bottom can be hundreds of miles to the terrain of mountains and rivers, and there are some giant wood forests. Not only that, Zhang Fan also learned that there were also wide and long underground passages in this complex and dangerous place. At the same time, there are eight huge palaces located in the eight directions of the tournament place, with an area of about 10,000 square kilometers, and this palace and even the subsequent tunnels lead directly to the central tournament and have several exits. When I came to this palace, which was a building ranging in height from 100 zhang to hundreds of zhang, it seemed that I had suddenly become a villain who was less than three inches tall and had come to the real palace of the mortal realm. Such an arrangement is clearly self-evident.
"Don't look at this place, it seems that the amount of work is not small, but it doesn't take much effort to build or rebuild it in front of an entry-level Dao Ancestor, and under the arrangement of many parties, this arrangement is also to simulate the battle in a situation that is closer to the real battle. If it's just a bare martial arts ring, it will obviously be unfavorable to the side that is not very good at spiritual output and is more prominent in metaphysical illusions. This arrangement is also the result of many discussions in the last 200 years ... Although Huo Ran was a top powerhouse in the Dao Ancestor realm, he obviously didn't have much of a fight, and said bluntly. Of course, Zhang Fan could also feel that such a venue arrangement was more conducive to the Heavenly Court's side, and there were more monks who were good at mental illusions.
The rules and rewards of the confrontation are self-explanatory after the last two rounds of duels before that, and the final point comparison is determined according to the "profit theory". Take the Heavenly Chosen Monks of the early stage of the seventh layer of Da Luo as one, for example, a total of sixty-four Heavenly Chosen monks of the early stage of the fourth layer outside the Great Luo Peak have been killed or captured, but two opponents who have been killed or captured in the early stage of the sixth layer outside the Great Luo Peak. Doubling the net gain, which is about 0.125 points, is halved if you just beat your opponent but don't do it. Obviously, because of the large difference in strength at the level of this immortal realm, the "Ying Theory" that can really have a great impact on the result depends on the decisive battle of the top twenty or so.
This time, the scale of the Heavenly Chosen Monks who came to participate was about two hundred, accounting for less than one-fifth of the total number of Heavenly Chosen Monks, and more than seventy percent of them were Heavenly Chosen Monks from the Heavenly Court side. This is actually not surprising, for the Barbarian Realm and even other aspects, participating in the Heavenly Chosen Ring to face a stronger opponent, even if it is an opponent at the level outside the peak of Da Luo, and the limited cultivation cannot exceed one level, there is still a great risk of dying in battle. If most of the Heavenly Chosen Monks participated in such activities every hundred years, and the risk of dying or being captured in battle every time was one, then there was no doubt that they would suffer a heartbreaking loss in the period of hundreds or more than a thousand years at this pinnacle level.
At the same time, when the high-level Dao Ancestors were discussing back then, in order to reduce the loss rate of the Chosen Son, there were also some other rules of engagement, if one of them could not dodge for more than twelve hours, it would be deemed to have automatically abstained and conceded defeat. Points are awarded in this case no different from the victorious side killing or capturing an opponent. The aim is, of course, to encourage the winning side to be forgiving and forgiving. Reduce the risk of loss at this level. In this way, according to the experience of previous years, on average, the probability of the Heavenly Chosen monks on the Heavenly Court side being killed or captured in battle was reduced to less than one percent, and the probability of the monks on the other sides being killed or captured in battle was often only between three and five percent.
Zhang Fan also learned that the original Dao Ancestors seemed to have used some unique method to be sure that in the Heavenly Chosen Ring, it was the only place where they could kill the Heavenly Chosen Cultivators without too much concern.
In this way, Zhang Fan has a lot more ideas. I don't know how many search and kill records I can get by using my unique Warning Heart and even some other means of perception...
seemed to be aware of Zhang Fan's thoughts, and at this time, Huo Ran admonished, "When I first discussed, of course I also knew that there were some unique perceptual means in this world that could be extraordinary, in order to avoid such accidents. Therefore, when it was built, it was agreed that the three long secret passages that could be entered on the side of the Dao Ancestor had some unique mechanisms and laws that could be realistically entered at any time, and the position of the person who entered it at any time was realized, and the trap means of concealment and even movement and even more than some magic weapons and talismans had great bonuses. If the ability in some aspects exceeds the opponent's two-thirds level, or has more than ten times the superiority of the single combat effectiveness, there is a great risk of failure to rush into the opponent's home field. It is also in this way that many monks give up the idea of killing them all in most cases when the other party passively avoids the war... At this moment, Zhang Fan also knows some of the rules of this heavenly election.
In this way, at the beginning of the Heavenly Chosen Competition, the confrontation between those monks who were outside the fifty-two on the Heavenly Chosen List, that is, those who did not even have the cultivation strength of the six or so layers outside the Great Luo Peak, did not have much novelty. This time, the goal of the MEM is not that. Generally speaking, those monks who still have a long way to go at the level outside the peak of Da Luo usually choose to protect themselves, and if they feel that they are stronger than the local strength in the previous strength of the two sides and even in the understanding of the opponent, they will stand up and fight, so there are very few direct competitions. More often than not, both sides are waiting in their own secret passages for the end of the twelve-hour jousting time. For the sake of volume, the monks who are less than the sixth floor of the Heavenly Chosen have this kind of negative game, and there is no punishment for both sides. In this case, for Zhang Fan and others, it is almost the same as a situation where the competition has not yet begun.
When the Heavenly Chosen Monks from the six or so layers outside the Great Luo Peak began to play, the situation began to look a lot better. It seems that he feels that he is not too far away from the realm of Dao Ancestor, and he does not need to participate in the Heavenly Election Tournament too many times, and the enthusiasm and initiative of the monks on both sides are also much greater. However, this so-called "positive" is still more people who feel that they are stronger than the other party will stand up. Both sides stepped up to compete in the final battle, with only six of the 31 total contests in the competition. Of these six games, four were when the weaker side fled immediately after discovering that the opponent's momentum was stronger, and two were during the fight. There is only one decisive battle that can be regarded as a real decisive battle between victory and defeat. When a middle-aged Heavenly Court female cultivator faced a Jianghu cultivator who came to challenge, she easily controlled the opponent with her mental means, and in the twelve-hour duel, she absorbed the soul power and spiritual power in her body and then eliminated the opponent. In the end, he maintained his position around 22nd.
However, this seems to be a watershed moment, that is, from this point on, there are monks of the early seventh layer outside the peak of Da Luo, and the monks of the Barbarian Realm have come to challenge. According to the rules, in order to prevent the deliberate selection of weak opponents at the same level to challenge, the challenged party has the right to change people within the same level and thus seize the initiative. At the same time, in order to be negative in the arena, if no one challenges the situation, under the supervision of the top Dao Ancestors of all parties, the monks of the same level and whose cultivation is lower than that of the Champion will be randomly selected.
At the same time, when the level of confrontation begins to reach about seven layers outside the peak of Da Luo, there are also some stricter rules, if one of the sides chooses to dodge for twelve hours, or only comes out in less than a quarter of an hour at the end, and other passive battle avoidance behavior, in addition to the opponent's points for killing prisoners, half of the points of the losing side will be deducted. Usually at this level, the monks have some unique means of maneuvering, so compared to the monks of the fifth or sixth layer outside the peak of Da Luo, the situation of one of them choosing to fight passively has decreased sharply.
In this way, the visibility of the confrontation between the 22nd and 16th places in the Heavenly Chosen Fight has also improved significantly. The duration of the battle was also much shorter, although the field was relatively large for a solo encounter, and the total time for a game was often no more than an hour.
When it came to fifteen, the Escape Alliance did not choose to remain silent according to the previous plan. According to the original best expectation, Yin Xia and others should monopolize the sixth to fifteenth places in turn, and then Zhang Fan cleaned the top five, and in this way to achieve the top ten or even the top eleven. Of course, this is only a planned and even ideal situation. In the face of Zhang Fan, who participated in the Heavenly Election for the first time, variables are of course possible.
The fifteenth Heavenly Court master who was originally arranged was a Heavenly Court Sword Cultivator who had peculiar and decent exercises, and he was also one of the male cultivators in the Heavenly Court whose proportion of the Chosen Sons was not too large. The strength of the middle of the seventh layer outside the peak of Da Luo.
At this level, it is also rare to have the previous situation of playing tricks in the challenge arrangement, because the number of seventh-layer monks outside the peak of Da Luo is actually limited, and in this case, Lin Xiaofeng, who is relatively weak in the team of Zhang Fan and others of the Easy Alliance, fights.
At this time, after the double bonus of the storage space and even the forgetfulness of the map, and even the dormant years of the Xiaoyao League, although the number of participants in the Xiaoyao League this time is only Zhang Fan and other eleven people. But even Lin Xiaofeng, who was the weakest cultivator in the team, also had the strength of the seventh layer outside the peak of Da Luo. In terms of strength, he has been able to significantly overwhelm his opponent. Moreover, because he is a challenger with the strongest cultivation, he was qualified to challenge without much hindrance.
Of course, Lin Xiaofeng had no intention of being in the tunnel, but walked out of the tunnel as quickly as possible in just a few minutes, and came to the core of the entire 20,000-mile martial arts arena.
This is because the Heavenly Court Monk is also "a good man does not suffer immediate losses" at this moment, and he has already decided that the cat will not come out in the tunnel before the competition. Because the immortal realm must not be ignored even if it is within one layer, the gap between the first phase. At most, you can get the most out of your time when you are stuck in time and show your head near the last minute.
Lin Xiaofeng didn't have too many concerns, although he didn't have the ability to judge the location of the other party, but he quickly launched a search within the other party's tunnel, and there was still a period of time before the twelve hours.
As the champion of the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Court Sword Cultivator used some unique stealth formations in the tunnel like a trap to decisively launch an all-out blow when Lin Xiaofeng fell into a short period of time when the phantom formation was delayed, and stabbed Lin Xiaofeng in the back of the head with a single blow.
However, for this situation, Zhang Fan and even Lin Xiaofeng and the others had already prepared, and they had already prepared a well-made defensive talisman and an illusion talisman in the back of their heads, especially in the position of the Mud Pill Palace, so that the ambush of the Heavenly Court monk did not hit Lin Xiaofeng hard.
And with the assistance of the "Automatic Battle Talisman" he learned from Zhang Fan, Lin Xiaofeng's entire body suddenly obtained the energy acceleration action that had been prepared for a long time. Although Lin Xiaofeng's cultivation was injured and his spiritual power had been somewhat affected, it seemed that he did not have the ability to kill that seventh-layer Heavenly Court cultivator outside the Great Luo Peak in an instant. However, he still relied on the energy prepared by the early cultivator, and then hit the Heavenly Court monk hard with a preemptive blow this time, and before he seemed to be planning to open the escape talisman, he used the spatial blasting technique he learned from Zhang Fan to completely make the other party disappear in a huge explosion in a very short period of time. In this way, he eliminated the other party at the cost of being hit hard.
The possibility that Lin Xiaofeng, who cultivated this battle unexpectedly, could win was something that many people could guess, but it was surprising to many people that he could kill the other party when the opponent's cat was in the tunnel.
