Chapter 217: Returning to tacit understanding, the preliminary round begins
Han Xi, Jiang Cong, and Zhou Jue walked out of the city pavilion room together, what Han Xi didn't expect was that there was a small market in this Luoyun City Pavilion, and the market in it was a market for the contestants, so Han Xi and they didn't need to go out to buy it. After all, there is a crisis outside, and many forces are already staring at these players who come to compete, and after every big competition, there are always many geniuses who are killed by some assassin organizations, so Han Xi and they seem to be very careful.
"Jiang Cong, this is our little friend, Zhou Jue's identity is the same as ours, and they are all from that special planet," Han Xi introduced to Jiang Cong.
Jiang Cong was shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect that the young man in front of him was the last partner they were looking for, so they would gather, and the next step was to go to various star boundaries to find the fragments of the Star Horcrux.
"Hello, I'm Jiang Cong, I'm glad you joined us on our journey, by the way, what kind of star martial soul are you?" Jiang Cong asked.
"Please advise, I have two Star Martial Souls, one is the Twin Star Martial Soul, one is the Brahma King Kong, and the other is the derived Star Martial Soul Golden Holy Sword, both of which belong to the metallic Star Martial Soul," Zhou Jue introduced to Jiang Cong.
"I'm also a Twin Star Martial Spirit, is it such a coincidence?" Zhou Jue said with some surprise.
"Yes, yes, you are all twin star martial souls, just me, Han Xue, and Xi'er are single star martial souls" Han Xi pouted, deliberately pretending to be unhappy.
"Aha~" Jiang Cong and Zhou Jue laughed unconsciously.
"Okay, let's hurry up and go back to buy groceries, have a good meal, and welcome the first game in three days, let me see if you have made progress in the past few months," Han Xi said.
Han Xi and the three of them bought a lot of animal meat and vegetables in the market, Han Xi and they had never seen the world, and they didn't know what the hell the vegetables here were. The vegetables here are too weird, there are cabbages as tall as people, which really startled the three of them, and it seems that the people who come here to buy vegetables are all female disciples of other teams, just Han Xi and the three old men walked around each stall, attracting the attention of many girls who bought vegetables. Han Xi and they suddenly became the object of admiration of these girls, Han Xi and they were addicted to buying vegetables and forgot about the surrounding situation, and when they looked up when they finished buying, the creatures around them seemed to be looking at the three of them, and they immediately felt very surprised.
"Should we slip away~" Jiang Cong whispered to Han Xi and the two of them.
"I think we have to slip away, I really can't stand this meeting," Zhou Jue said with his head down.
"Then what are we doing here squatting obscenely? I'll count to three and run together," said Han Xi, and they were ready to prepare for the 100-meter sprint, "Three! Run" Han Xi ran out of the middle of Jiang Cong and Zhou Jue in an instant, Zhou Jue and Jiang Cong were instantly dumbfounded, and hurriedly ran with Han Xi, and the female disciples behind also ran.
"Han Xi, you don't talk about martial arts, what about talking about three?" Zhou Jue complained while running, and Han Xi had already disappeared with Ling Bo's micro-step figure at this time, leaving only Jiang Cong and Zhou Jue chased by the group of hot creatures behind, the scene was once very spectacular, and even the male players next to him were stunned!
"Good guy, Han Xi will be done when he goes back, Zhou Jue, look at the back," Jiang Cong said to Zhou Jue.
Zhou Ju turned around and looked at it, very puzzled, when he looked back, Jiang Cong had already run in front.
"Ouch, I'll go, these two are together, so don't talk about martial arts" Zhou Jue complained while speeding up.
Han Xi was the first to return to the room, and rushed into their team's premises almost at the speed of light.
Seeing that Han Xi was in such a hurry, Xi'er hurriedly asked what was wrong, Han Xi gasped and said: "Hey, I was chased by a group of girls, fortunately, there were two of them behind the back hall, I was scared to death, those guys were terrible, from the moment we entered the vegetable market...... Just keep an eye on us," Han Xi said, sitting down. Just after Han Xi finished speaking, another gust of wind passed through the living room, and a figure ran past Han Xi at high speed, and Han Xi was taken aback by this formation.
"Ah...... This~" Xi'er and Han Xue were stunned from the side, looking at Han Xi's embarrassed appearance, they couldn't help laughing.
"Jiang Cong, Zhou Jue, I won't be left behind by you!" Han Xi asked.
"You also said that if you didn't talk about martial arts, it would definitely be you who stayed behind, but fortunately I was clever and left him behind" Zhou Jue teased Han Xi first, and then saw that Zhou Jue was at the bottom of the back, and his heart suddenly felt a lot better, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm not the last." Just after Jiang Cong finished speaking, the scene that was exactly the same as before was staged again, and a figure rushed straight towards Han Xi and them, Han Xi and Zhou Jue hurriedly dodged to the side, otherwise they would be bumped into by him.
"Zhou Jue, you~ are back" Han Xi whispered, and then continued: "Then I'll go cook first, you guys talk slowly, Xi'er, let's go" Saying that, Han Xi hurriedly fled the scene, otherwise it would not be good to be bullied by these two guys.
"You two guys," Zhou Jue complained.
"That, it's none of my business, if it's okay, I'll leave first," Jiang Cong said and wanted to slip away.
"Do you think you can go?" Zhou Jue's sharp eyes had already blocked Jiang Cong's way.
Suddenly, the whole hall became active again, before it was Yuan Xiu and Yu Xiaoji chasing each other, now it is Jiang Cong and Zhou Jue chasing each other, fortunately Han Xi slipped away quickly, otherwise he would be besieged by the two of them. Suddenly, Zhou Jue had integrated into this big family, and the relationship between them became even stronger.
Soon, Han Xi and the others were about to usher in their first lunch together, and everyone's faces were full of smiles, especially Yuan Xiu and Glutton's faces, staring straight at the grilled fish on the table, the aroma made their eyes can't close, and the corners of their mouths kept chirping, this long-lost feeling is too precious.
"Let's celebrate Han Xi's safe return and our new partner Zhou Jue joining us to make this glass of Void Spirit Wine, which I stole from the dean," Teacher Yunxi stood up and said to everyone.
"Celebrate Han Xi's return and Zhou Jue joining us, cheers" everyone said in unison, and suddenly the entire living room was filled with laughter and laughter.
About an hour later, Han Xi and the others had already leaned on the table one by one, eating and drinking to their heart's content, and they began to let Han Xi and them talk about his story in the past few months. Han Xi seemed to tell them what had happened in the past few months, and this talk attracted them, as if they were listening to a story, which was passionate and full of ups and downs. They didn't expect Han Xi to go through so many things, and everything was so significant.
"There are three days left for the game to start, the starting list is Han Xi, Jiang Cong, Lin Shishi, Guan Xu and Jiang Huai, Xi'er, Han Xue and Zhou Jue, we will hide first, we can't expose the strength of the two of them too early, otherwise it will be difficult for us to advance to the playoffs by all the opponents, so I put the three of them at the end, and the previous game depends on you Han Xi" Teacher Yunxi began to say to Han Xi seriously, Han Xi and they immediately became serious when they heard this, and the previous leisurely appearance was immediately put away, At this point, they are already about to start studying tactics, and the first step is to understand the situation of each team, so that they know themselves and their opponents, so that they can be comfortable on the battlefield and not be overly passive.
"Teacher Yunxi, how many teams are participating in this competition? And what are the rules of the competition system used in this competition, whether it is only a team competition or an individual points competition system......" Han Xi asked Teacher Yunxi.
"First of all, there are a total of 58 teams participating in this YHJ competition, which are from the strongest teams in various star planes. This competition system is different from previous years, and this year adopts a new competition system, that is, the implementation of a rotation ring system, 58 teams are two by two, the first round to determine 29 winners and 29 losers. Then in the second round, the team in the lower bracket will challenge the team in the upper bracket, and if the team in the lower bracket defeats the team in the upper bracket, they will be replaced, and if the challenge fails, the team will be eliminated and will not make the playoffs. The regular season of this system adopts the method of drawing lots to select the opposing teams, and there can only be eighteen teams that can enter the playoffs, and the rules about the playoffs will be told to you when the time comes, and you will still forget about it after talking about it now, so leave it to the end, if you fail to advance to the playoffs, then I don't need to talk about it, so your goal now is to advance to the playoffs. The team here is different from those teams in the Five Kingdoms Competition, the strength of the teams here is all monsters, and we are not very clear about the special attributes of each race, so we are the most passive group in the Wandering Soul Star Boundary. Teacher Yunxi preached to Han Xi and them.
"Indeed, when we came here, we made some inspections, some of the creatures here are indeed difficult to figure out, Zhou Jue and I had a little conflict with the fairy demon clan on the way here, and it is not easy to mess with them," Han Xi said.
Teacher Yunxi was very shocked when he heard this, because the name of the Immortal Demon Star Boundary is too familiar, the strength of this Star Boundary, which is rich in genius star cultivators, is very strong, and he has won the third place in the Universe Competition for two consecutive years, and his power should not be underestimated.
"They didn't recognize you, did they?"
"No, that's me and Zhou Jue's transformation, so they don't know our true colors," Han Xi replied.
"That's good, the strength of this team of the fairy demon clan is very strong, it is said that there are hole cards hidden behind them, this team is the seed team of the Universe Competition, and it has been shining in the scene of the competition for two consecutive years, so it is better for you to have fewer conflicts with them, after all, the fairy and demon star realm is not easy to mess with, I am afraid that except for the mysterious Mo Yuan predecessor in our wandering soul world, I am afraid that no one can compete with the masters of the fairy and demon star realm" As soon as Teacher Yunxi finished speaking, Han Xi and the others were already shocked.
"Okay, that's the general arrangement, in the past two days, you have to cooperate with the cultivation first, I haven't seen each other for a few months, and the tacit understanding needs to be run-in" Saying that, Teacher Yunxi stood up and patted Han Xi's shoulder and said: "The next training will be arranged by Han Xi, I still have some work to do, and then it's up to you little monsters" Teacher Yunxi walked towards the door as he spoke.
After Teacher Yunxi left, Han Xi said to everyone: "Everyone just finished eating, let's go back and rest for a while, we will gather at the training ground at three o'clock in the afternoon to start training" After Han Xi made the arrangements, everyone went back to rest, Han Xi and Xi'er went out for a walk to see the situation outside, anyway, the two of them were not sleepy, and the rest of them were already sleepy, so they went back to rest first.
Han Xi and Xi'er walked outside hand in hand to relax, they hadn't seen each other for so long, and all their thoughts exploded at this moment. Han Xi and Xi'er came to a balcony on the top floor, where the view is wide and clean, surrounded by cherry blossom trees, a breeze blows, and the petals are flying, which is very beautiful. Han Xi took Xi'er's hand and came to this beautiful place, they didn't expect that there would be such a beautiful balcony garden here.
Suddenly, Xi'er hugged Han Xi tightly from behind, Han Xi was stunned for a moment, then Xi'er said: "Xi'er doesn't want to be separated from Han Xi's brother", Han Xi's heart was sour after hearing this, he turned around and hugged Xi'er in his arms and said: "No, I won't leave you again in the future, I will always stay by your side to protect you, no one can bully you" Han Xi stroked Xi'er's hair and said softly.
"Brother Han Xi, Xi'er will always be by your side" Xi'er stared at Han Xi and said, your clear and pitiful eyes made Han Xi's head go blank suddenly, his nose was sour, and he looked at Xi'er with a smile. Suddenly, Xi'er's kiss kissed Han Xi's lips, Han Xi's eyes suddenly widened, and the moist and soft feeling suddenly filled his heart with warmth.
"You can't leave me again"
"No one can take you away from me, Xi'er, you are the angel of my life" Saying that, Han Xi hugged Xi'er in his arms and hugged each other tightly, for fear that each other would leave suddenly, the petals would fall, and the air would be filled with sweet love.
In the afternoon, Han Xi and the eight of them all came to the martial arts arena to prepare for training, there are only two days left, the preliminary round is about to start, and they must regain their tacit understanding in these two days to cope with the next competition. Since Han Xi and Jiang Cong hadn't seen each other for a few months, they didn't know each other's strength very well, so Han Xi planned to challenge the six of them with Zhou Jue, so that they could understand each other's strength.
"We haven't seen each other for a few months, and I don't know much about your specific strength, so next I will form a team with Zhou Jue, Jiang Cong and you will form a team, Jiang Cong and you will be a team of six, let's play an exchange match first, and I can formulate a cultivation plan based on each other's advantages" Han Xi said to them.
"You two challenge the six of us? Han Xi, I'm afraid you're going to be beaten down by us," Guan Xu teased.
"Yes, Han Xi, there are only two of you, why don't you give Xi'er to your side?" Jiang Cong said.
"The six of you have been training for a few months, so let's see what you can do," Han Xi continued.
"Since you put it up like this, then we might as well be respectful, and don't say that we will bully more and less when the time comes," Guan Xuduo and Han Xi said proudly.
"In that case, let's get started, remember, don't keep your hands and use your full strength"
"Sounds very exciting, Han Xi, I'm curious about their strength now" Zhou Jue was already eager to try.
"Then let's start" Saying that, Han Xi and Zhou Jue instantly retreated a few dozen meters back, both camps were ready, the battle was about to break out, and the two-on-five battle was about to begin. There is a huge gap in numbers between the two sides.
First of all, Han Xi's side took the lead, Han Xi teleported in an instant and detoured in front of Guan Xu, and swung a punch at Guan Xu, but Guan Xu's reaction speed increased so much, Guan Xu jumped and jumped, and then slipped back to avoid Han Xi's attack. Then Jiang Cong instantly slid in front of Han Xi with the help of the ice ladder of cold snow, and it was a fierce beating, Han Xi and Jiang Cong collided with each other dozens of times in a row, and after converging, Han Xi instantly returned to Zhou Jue's side with a teleportation.
"Han Xi, how is it, it looks a little tricky"
"Indeed, this guy is much stronger than before, and he was almost stopped by them just now," Han Xi said to Zhou Jue seriously.
"Han Xi, you can't do it, the speed is so slow that even I can't hit" Guan Xu shouted Han Xi through the air.
"Good guy, you dare to be so arrogant, Zhou Jue, let's go up, hit it, they will get off the horse" Saying that, Han Xi and Zhou Jue instantly summoned their swords out, and then, the eight characters exchanged directions with each other and galloped towards Jiang Cong and them.
Seeing this, Jiang Cong hurriedly organized the team to defend and attack, ""Cold snow, cold ice mirror; Xi'er, the lightsaber sealed their retreat from the sky, Guan Xu and us, Shishi, Jianghuai, and the formation group controlled, limiting the movement speed and orientation of the two of them" Jiang Cong's precise arrangement, suddenly there were bursts of light shining in the martial arts arena, and the five skills were released at the same time, the scene was very spectacular, Xi'er's sword rain of light began to condense in the sky, and then they fell towards Han Xi and them at great speed. Seeing this, Han Xi and Zhou Jue instantly used their skills to slash towards those sword blades of light, cutting out a way out. Just after Han Xi and the others dodged Xi'er's sword rain, they were faced with the dual attacks of Jiang Cong and Guan Xu, and the two of them fought with Han Xi and Zhou Jue one after the other, and the two sides fought very anxiously. But on the side of Jiang Cong, who had the advantage in numbers, he instantly pulled out the advantage, and with Shishi's overturning of the river and the sea and Jianghuai's wind blade chessboard, Han Xi and Zhou Jue were forced to retreat, but when they retreated, Xi'er's sword rain of light had already waited for a long time, firmly blocking Han Xi's way.
"Han Xi, there is no way back now, it's time to end the battle," Jiang Cong and Guan Xu instantly accumulated the power of the stars and used their combined technique, "Linyuan Nine Heavens", and suddenly a powerful energy fluctuation rippled in front of Han Xi and them.
"Good guy, you actually gave us a combination technique" Han Xi teased, "Zhou Jue, let's teach them a lesson too."
"That's what I mean" Saying that, Zhou Jue and Han Xi instantly turned on the power of the stars, and the three qi pressures spread vigorously on one side.
"Linyuan Nine Heavens" Suddenly, more than a dozen phantoms appeared in Guan Xu's Overlord Divine Fist, and his fist was aimed at Han Xi and them, and then under the acceleration of Jiang Congfeng's power, he galloped towards Han Xi and them at great speed. Han Xi instantly gathered the power of the stars and unleashed the Falling Flower Nine Heavenly Feathers, and suddenly one after another fiery red sword blades fell from the sky, intertwined with their Overlord Divine Fist, and suddenly stirred up bursts of light. Zhou Jue also instantly accumulated the power of the stars and used the golden streamer to fly out, and suddenly countless golden sword blades came out of the sky, and gathered with Han Xi's sword blade to form an even more powerful sword blade.
With a loud sound, Han Xi and Zhou Jue's fusion sword blades instantly broke the combination of the two of them, and Jiang Cong and Guan Xu had no choice but to retreat. Shishi and they were very shocked when they saw this, and hurriedly took advantage of Han Xi and their ability to stabilize yet, and immediately launched a second round of attacks, Han Xi and they had to temporarily retreat in the face of their attack, their attack was too fierce, Han Xi and the two of them could not withstand it for a while, so they had to temporarily retreat.
Just when Xi'er and the others were about to attack, Han Xi hurriedly said: "If you don't fight, you can't fight, you can't fight, your attack is too fierce, I know your strength, you monsters are too terrifying, I haven't seen you for a month, it's so powerful" Han Xi quickly admitted defeat.
"Yes, if you don't fight, if you don't fight, if you continue to fight, you will always be boiled to death, your skill attacks are too frequent, and the two of us are not your opponents" Zhou Jue also hurriedly said.
"You two are not bad, you actually broke our combination skills in an instant, the strength of the two of you is really too demonic" Jiang Cong also praised Han Xidao.
"Next, let's practice well for the five of us first, Xi'er, the three of you will communicate with each other first, see if you can cooperate with each other to create new combination skills, and the five of us will find a tacit understanding first," Han Xi arranged.
"Okay, you guys cultivate first, I'll communicate with Han Xue and Zhou Jue here first" Xi'er said to Han Xi with a smile, that smile was very sweet in the sun.
Han Xi and the others began their fiery training, and everyone's faces were full of enthusiasm. Time passed little by little, Han Xi and their cultivation have been working hard, and finally, the day of the preliminary round is finally coming.
On the eve of the preliminary round:
Han Xi and the others were happily playing games in the living room at this time, and they had a good time relaxing before the game, and there was a loud laugh in the living room.
"Come on tomorrow!" Han Xi shouted.
"Come on tomorrow, the Yuexi team will win" everyone cheered.
"Okay, let's go to bed early, we will start playing tomorrow, we must take care of our spirits," Teacher Yunxi said to Han Xi and them.
"Yes, Teacher Yunxi," everyone said in unison.
The moonlight is beautiful, and everyone's face is full of smiles!
