Chapter 801: Masters gathered
This Centennial Tournament has been rumored for a long time in advance, and the rewards are unprecedented, so there are countless people who come prepared, until the day before the start of the competition, there are still players who rushed to sign up for the competition. According to rough statistics, the number of people participating in the Centennial Ring Tournament this time reached 60,000, of which the seventh-order monks accounted for about 1,000 people, and the rest were all sixth-order monks or even a small number of fifth-order monks. Moreover, among these people, only thirty percent of the forces from Extinguishing Cloud City and the surrounding towns and cities accounted for thirty percent, and the rest were all participating as casual cultivators, and they didn't know how many hermit cultivators were hidden in this dark night mountain forest. Some of these people came for the attractive reward, some of them wanted to make a name for themselves through this competition in consideration of the troubled times, and some of them were entrusted by the family power and tried to use this opportunity to get a place in Extinguishing Cloud City. Of course, there are also many like Zhu Xi who are purely to join in the fun or take the opportunity to test their own existence, or like Lu Yi, who does not want anything but participates in the ring because of other factors, but the proportion of such players is relatively low, so low that it is almost negligible.
In this way, a situation of 10,000 people crossing the single-plank bridge has been formed. And this time the competition system is very strict, the warring sides can not use any foreign objects, magic weapons, elixirs, formations, spirit pets, etc. are not allowed to use, all have to rely on their own ability to game, the reward is so much, if you want to stand out, there is no real material, it is almost impossible to gain anything by simply thinking about good luck.
Because there were too many people, the initial knockout round had to be divided into the territory of the four major families and the five sub-arenas in the central business area at the same time, and the old monsters in the early stage of spirit building and even the middle stage of spirit building in Cloud Extinguishing City were drawn to various arenas or to judge or maintain order, and they were all very busy. Even so, the elimination of the first round still took a month. After two and a half months in the preliminary round, I finally went to Cunliang, brushed down a large number of players, and finally advanced to the semi-finals, there were only more than 3,000 people left, of which there were less than 200 seventh-order monks, and the rest were all sixth-order mid-to-late stage monks, and even, even the proportion of sixth-order mid-stage monks was extremely low, and only one hundred and ten people were indeed people with unique skills or talents, and the competition was not unmistakable.
The semi-finals will still be carried out in five regions at the same time, the central business area is the arena of the seventh-order monks, and the competition between the sixth-order monks is to disrupt the original order and re-group, Lu Yi competes in the school gym of the Huang family in the east of the city, while Zhu Xi is arranged in the Shijia lot in the west of the city and is judged by Feng Dongming himself in case Zhu Xi has any accidents, and Baili is arranged in the central business area in the preliminary stage to preside over the confrontation between the seventh-order monks to show respect for the guests of Huadu City. This made Lu Yi, who was shocked after getting the news that Zhu Xi and the others went and returned, was also very happy, and he could finally avoid direct contact with Zhu Xi and others for the time being.
Lu Yi didn't think about quitting the game, but Mei Qingzhu analyzed that even if Lu Yi withdrew from the game, now it seems that Zhu Yi and the three of them have a good relationship with Extinguishing Cloud City, Lu Yi, as a celebrity in the two cities, will be introduced to them sooner or later, so the two sides must have a face-to-face time, instead of hiding now, it is better to fight like this, all the way forward with a high profile, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and biasing towards the tiger mountain, and when the time comes, they will appear in front of Zhu Yi and them with a swagger, so that they will not be able to guess Lu Yi's identity. I have to say that Mei Qingzhu's trick is really clever, if you are an ordinary person, it is impossible to do this, knowing that the person looking for herself is coming, she has already avoided it far away, how can she be stupid and send it to the door by yourself? Because he is very confident in the effect of this Qi Dan's makeover, and he is fully prepared, Lu Yi also adopted Mei Qingzhu's suggestion, this time in the Centennial Ring Competition, Lu Yi used the most common water system spells in the competition to fight against his opponents, all the way to the semi-finals, always relying on more spiritual power reserves and strong spiritual power than monks of the same level as a basis for victory, which is also very in line with the style of a Dan master, after all, the spiritual power of ordinary Dan masters is much stronger than that of monks of the same level.
In this semi-final, the top 400 sixth-order players will be determined, that is, the top 100 in each region, and then the top 50 will be determined among these 400 people for the finals, while the seventh-order monks will directly determine the top 30 for the later finals because of the small number of people. After entering the semi-finals, Lu Yi deeply felt that if he only used a single spiritual power attribute, his advantage in the same level was not very prominent. The so-called art industry has a specialization, over the years, because of the chances, there are many hole cards in the hand, so there are many means that can be called when facing the enemy, often can be surprisingly successful, plus their preference for hand-to-hand combat attacks, but ignore the most fundamental technique as a monk, although they have practiced a number of exercises to make their spiritual power reserves have been greatly improved, but there are obvious shortcomings in the distribution of spiritual power. I have become accustomed to using spiritual power wantonly, and if my spiritual power is insufficient, I can rely on other aspects to make up for it. Most of the other monks rely solely on spiritual power to play games with their opponents, so they do everything possible to make careful calculations in the use of spiritual power, in order to achieve their goals with minimal consumption. Lu Yi's first opponent in the rematch taught him a lesson in this way, the fire monk still spent half an hour with Lu Yi when his spiritual power attribute was overcome, Lu Yi could sense that the opponent's spiritual power reserves were obviously inferior to his own, but it was because of the reasonable planning and use that Lu Yi's own spiritual power consumption was almost empty before he was defeated.
After this battle, Lu Yi also suddenly woke up to the fact that he still has such a big shortcoming, and this defect can be fatal at some point, which can't help but make him break out in a cold sweat. So, in the next game, Lu Yi started a new practice, from the original spiritual power to a "miser" who is always careful to calculate, and every time he makes a move, he has to calculate it before making a move to see the benefits and effects that the spell to be used can bring. This situation made Lu Yi very uncomfortable at the beginning, and even often disjointed spells. This also made many people who paid attention to him wonder, feeling that the performance of this white-haired Dan God now was like a different person compared to the previous period, and the whole person had become a little dull, but fortunately, Bai Dan God's mana was strong and his spirit was strong, although it seemed that he was not good at spells, but he also passed the adventures every time. Lu Yi stumbled all the way like this, and finally broke into the top 100 of the Huang family's division, but the ranking was already very low, even so, the monks who came to praise Daohe only increased, after all, his main identity was there, in the eyes of others, the reason why Bai Danshen participated in this century-old ring competition was purely a whim to play tickets, but not many people expected him to have any amazing performance, and to be able to enter the final top 400, this is already a very rare achievement, so during the interval of the game, Lu Yi was also very busy, tired of dealing with compliments from all directions。
Although Fang Wei lost to the little monkey last time, but he was too arrogant and was calculated by the little monkey, it doesn't mean that his strength is not good, he can impact the spirit building at the age of less than 1,500 years, and he is also a genius, so in the ring competition between the seventh-order monks, he still shines, and he plays all the way, and easily enters the top 30, thus consolidating his position in the Extinguishing Cloud City. It's Zhu Xi, the two diametrically opposed spiritual attributes of ice and fire make her a dazzling star in the ring match, and she has been using ice spells to fight against people in the competition, until the end of the rematch, she encountered a powerful gold sixth-order late monk who fell into a hard battle, she exposed her fire attributes, and successfully defeated the opponent to lay the foundation for stepping into the top 100 in the competition area. This time also caused a sensation in the entire competition area, after all, she was only a mid-sixth order monk, and it was obvious that she had not advanced for a long time. This also made the side of Extinguishing Cloud City once again look at the three elders of Wenfeng in Huadu City, the disciples of other people are so good, looking at the entire Extinguishing Cloud City, I am afraid that they will not be able to find a character who can be compared with Zhu Xi in the same level. As a result, some people's brains began to be active, and they wanted to take the route of family affection, and gradually, some such and such young talents appeared around Zhu Xi, intentionally or unintentionally, and surrounded Zhu Xi like a moon.
The divisional semi-finals are over, and the top 400 sixth-order monks have eliminated Zhu Xi, all of whom are late-stage sixth-order players, which once again highlights Zhu Xi, and the good deeds who have a quick mouth have leaked Zhu Xi's background, which suddenly made Zhu Xi the most dazzling star in this ring competition. Next, there will be a competition between the top 400 and 50, because the top 30 seventh-order monks have been decided, so the top 400 competition will be moved to the central business area, taking advantage of the interval to prepare for the competition, the side of the Extinguishing Cloud City held a large banquet, inviting many guests, including many outstanding people in this competition, but also to win over, in order to recruit for the future development of Extinguishing Cloud City.
Naturally, the party of Xiaoyao City, Lu Yi, Fang Wei and others were also invited, so the meeting between Lu Yi and Zhu Xi was put on the agenda.
