In fact, for Yuanli long-range bombardment, melee combat is more a test of a cultivator's all-round strength.

Close at hand, between square inches, there are higher requirements for the control of reaction, body method, footwork and yuan force.

As long as one weakness is caught, there is a high probability of defeat as a result.

At the same time, this is also the most fierce battle, the victory or defeat is in an instant, there may be no sharp moves, there is no gorgeous Yuan Force Spirit, it is just a light palm, it is enough to determine the victory.

Any weakness, in the heat of close combat, will be magnified countless times.

"Who do you think will win?" I asked Lu Ningxiang with a smile.

Lu Ningxiang glanced at me, the corners of her beautiful lips raised, and said, "At present, Meng Shuisheng's chances of winning will be a little bigger, because his inner yuan power is more powerful; More able to support long and intense battles, if Xiao Wu wants to win, he must find an opportunity before the Yuan Force runs out. ”

I smiled, and that was my judgment.

The path of cultivation is not only about one's own conditions, but also about one's own nature.

The reason for this difference is that Meng Shuisheng and Yan Xiaowu have their own hearts.

Meng Shuisheng's parents are alive, I, as an elder brother, can also shelter him from the wind and rain, and Jinpen Township is the place where he was born and raised, comfortable and familiar; Compared with Yan Xiaowu, the conditions, especially the psychological conditions, are better.

With such a mentality to cultivate, he doesn't have too much pressure, it doesn't matter if it's fast or slow, over time, his heart will affect Daoji, his heart is wide and seawide, and the yuan power in his body will naturally be strong and heavy.

On the other hand, Yan Xiaowu, his family was killed by ghosts, lost his home at a young age, and was taken to Jinpen Township by me, subconsciously, Jinpen Township is a strange place, coupled with the hatred of the ghost clan in his heart, instinctively it will make him eager to be strong, because only when he is strong can he seek revenge on the ghost clan, and at the same time make himself feel safe.

Such a state of mind is very unfavorable for cultivation.

Although we have repeatedly taught him the truth that hasty is not enough, and every step has consolidated the foundation of the Dao, but the influence cannot be completely eliminated.

Over time, the heart affects Daoji, and the mood is not as wide as Meng Shuisheng, and the vitality in this body is naturally not as thick as Meng Shuisheng.

After that, the guess was as Lu Ningxiang said, under the intense consumption, Yan Xiaowu gradually struggled, and his forehead began to sweat, while Meng Shuisheng was stronger and still steady.

"Looks like the aquatic are going to win." Cao Nan said with a smile, and Meng Shuisheng under him grinned.

"Not necessarily, Xiao Wu is very explosive, if Shui Sheng wants to win, I'm afraid he has to pass a level." Sai Yuer stretched out a finger and shook it.

Lu Ningxiang and I looked at each other and smiled.

When the words fell, as if it was specifically to confirm Sai Yu'er's assertion, Yan Xiaowu suddenly broke out, gave up a defense on his left shoulder, and took a hard blow, the frost in his hand turned into a roaring python, and his tail slapped at Meng Shuisheng fiercely.

This is his last blow, and if it doesn't work, he can only be forced out of the table.

Meng Shuisheng was taken aback when he saw that he was about to win, and the thunder yuan power in his body skyrocketed, turning into a huge thunder shield, and he was dangerously sideways in front of him.

But...... All this happened so fast that before the Thunder Shield was fully formed, the python tail hit the Thunder Shield.

Time froze for a moment, and the python's tail weakened rapidly, but before the last moment, it broke through the thunder shield and hit Meng Shuisheng's right shoulder.

And Meng Shuisheng also didn't take his hand, and at the last moment hit Yan Xiaowu's left shoulder that gave up defense and appeared empty.

So, the two of them snorted and flew out at the same time.

The platform is empty in the blink of an eye!

"Wow!"

The scene was in an uproar, and I didn't expect that the dazzling hand-to-hand combat would end up like this.

The first question that pops up is, who wins?

Draw?

But this is a knockout round, there is no such thing as a tie!

Re-comparison?

There has never been such an example before, and it is unbelievable that they are so evenly matched that they fly out of the arena at the same time.

After Meng Shuisheng and Yan Xiaowu landed, they stepped back and thumped, and they all fit into the crowd.

Everyone looked here and there, waiting for an answer.

"Damn, what's that?" Cao Nan was a little dumbfounded and said, "In our rules, there is no provision on how to judge such a situation. ”

"There's a bug." Huang Mao also said.

"Or else...... Rematch? The fat man was dumbfounded.

The first time I held a championship competition, many things were created in a hurry, and some negligence was unavoidable.

Everyone in the audience looked at the upper echelons of the Golden Basin Holy Land, and after the yellow-haired Hu Lai and the others said something, they all looked at me.

I groaned for a while, got up slowly, and said in a voice containing Yuan Li: "The one who goes out to Taiwan first loses, and the one who goes out to Taiwan later wins." "It's not loud, but it's clear enough to reach everyone's ears.

After speaking, I looked at Lu Ningxiang, Lu Ningxiang smiled slightly, and said, "The accident didn't happen, your apprentice lost, and the aquatic life narrowly won." ”

I nodded, ordinary people can't see clearly, but naturally they can't hide it from us.

Yan Xiaowu flew out of the battle platform half a position before Meng Shuisheng, and if he lost, he was just a little bit closer.

In terms of overall strength, Meng Shuisheng is indeed a little stronger than him, and it is a pity to lose, but he is not wronged.

So, everyone looked at the big screen in the field.

Wang Jian'an immediately typed in the code, slowed down the playback, took a screenshot, and finally clearly showed that Yan Xiaowu and Meng Shuisheng flew out of the battle platform in half a step.

The winner was decided, and Meng Shuisheng advanced thrillingly!

After the results were announced, the jubilation resumed off the pitch.

It was an incomparably exciting contest, evenly matched, and narrowly defeated, enough to cover the topic for days or even a week.

And there is no doubt that this is the highest level and the most exciting competition of this championship; But it was a civil war for the core disciples of the Holy Land.

The prestige of the Golden Basin Holy Land can no longer be shaken or denied.

The high-level is strong, which can only be regarded as the past, and the strong children in the later generations are the real all-round strong, because it represents the successors.

"Brother Leizi."

"Master."

Meng Shuisheng and Yan Xiaowu returned to me and shouted.

I nodded and said, "It's not bad, but there's room for improvement." ”

The recognition in my heart cannot be easily expressed, otherwise it is easy to make them complacent, and in my opinion, their performance can only be said to be remarkable, and there are many things that can be improved.

After speaking, I looked at Yan Xiaowu and said, "Do you know where you lost?" ”

"Dowki." Yan Xiaowu said without thinking.

"It's good to understand, the influence of the state of mind on cultivation is subtle, you try hard to restrain yourself, but you can't replace letting go, everything has cause and effect, clinging to the past will only form obstacles and demons." I spoke, paused and said, "After healing, go to Faming Temple for three months, and send Monk Mingyuan back by the way." ”

Yan Xiaowu still couldn't let go of his parents' hatred in the end, although the evil ghosts and fierce spirits that killed his parents had been eliminated, but in his subconscious, he transferred this hatred to the entire ghost clan.

It can be seen from the previous mission that he killed the evil ghosts and fierce spirits without even blinking his eyes, and never thought that some evil ghosts and fierce spirits could be exceeded.

Although he is very qualitative and does not let his mind affect his cultivation too much, there are still some residues, and such residues cannot be seen at this stage, so it will be difficult to say in the future.

A trip to Faming Temple and listening to the Buddhist Zen scriptures will help him.

Moreover, Mingyuan's house, an adult drunk and dreamed of dying in Jinpen Township, it was not like that, and throwing it back gave Lingkong Great Zen Master a headache.

"Yes, Master." Yan Xiaowu nodded respectfully, he understood my hard work.

"How's it hurting?" Lu Ningxiang asked, both of them injured their shoulders.

The two shook their heads and said that it was no big deal.

I looked at Meng Shuisheng and said, "You also have a problem, do you know where it is?" ”

Meng Shuisheng scratched his head and said with a shy smile: "I didn't step on the rhythm tightly enough, and I didn't do my best to suppress Xiao Wu, so that he found an opportunity to suddenly break out." ”

"It's good to know, although the competition is not to let you live and die against each other, but it is not a playhouse, since it is a battle, you have to do your best, today Xiao Wu almost turned over your plate, and in the future, outside, others may turn your life." I said solemnly.

The law has always been the law of the jungle, and whether the loser has a chance to start over depends on whether the opponent is willing to give it.

It's cruel, and you can't be sloppy and lax.

Meng Shuisheng must understand this truth, but he must tighten the string in his head, his strength is not as good as others, he has nothing to say, and his strength is stronger than others, so he can't capsize in the gutter.

"Got it." Meng Shuisheng nodded obediently.

"Shui Sheng, your brother's words must be kept in your heart, the law is sinister, and people's hearts are more unpredictable than ghosts." Grandpa also spoke at this time.

"Yes, Grandpa." Meng Shuisheng nodded again.

"Go and heal." I waved them back.

As soon as the semifinals are over, they will each have a game tomorrow, Meng Shuisheng will compete for the top spot, and Yan Xiaowu will compete for the third place, although the suspense is not big, but they must go all out, and the injury must be healed.

is still what I just said, when the strength is in place, it is necessary to prevent the gutter from capsizing; None of the people who made it all the way to the semi-finals and finals were weak.

……

Turning the sky over, the morning was held in the race for third place.

Yan Xiaowu played against the loser of the other ant clan in the semi-finals, after a day of healing, the injury recovered, and he won the game in three minutes, and his strength was crushed, and there was no accident.

In the afternoon, it was the much-anticipated finals.

Meng Shuisheng's opponent is a teenager from Guangxi named Li Chen.

The strength is very good, the cultivation is the power of the stars, similar to the kind of yuan power devoured by the giant beasts of the Falling Demon Abyss, and it is said that the source of all the aura is very mysterious and powerful.

He can reach the finals, and he is also favored by many people, after all, the strength is there, without a little moisture.

The realm of strength is also a half-step divine bridge. It took Meng Shuisheng a full seven minutes to force him off the platform, which was not as easy as he imagined.

Wang Jian'an will naturally not let go of such a talent, and the detailed investigation materials have already been sent to me.

Li Chen was born in the Li family in Guangxi, is a descendant of ethnic minorities and the Han nationality, and his family background is not very strong, just a small Dharma family, but he entered the Dharma practice very early.

At the beginning of the great changes in heaven and earth, the aura has not yet recovered, but the power of the stars is not limited, as long as the night sky is clear and the Milky Way is high, the power of the stars will be endless.

It is precisely because of this that he entered the industry earlier than most people, established a first-mover advantage, and his qualifications and understanding are very good, ranking among the strong people of the younger generation, and he went all the way to the finals.

I've seen his battle video, and the real strength ranking should be around three or four, slightly weaker than Yan Xiaowu.

It's just that Meng Shuisheng and Yan Xiaowu met in advance, and he was lucky to become second.

Such a person, with a clean foundation and a good impression of Jinpen Township, is naturally the object of our struggle.

Before the competition, the third uncle went to see him on my behalf, and he was very happy and expressed his willingness to join the Holy Land.

I wasn't stingy either, and directly assigned him the position of a core disciple.

Because I really want to know what is the magic of this power of the stars, and why it has become the source of various yuan forces.

Could it be that all the sources of this world come from the stars?

Not only did he join, but Pang Yong's youth, who was the fourth in the battle against Yan Xiaowu, was also willing to join and become a member of the Holy Land.

But he is different from Li Chen, the Pang family belongs to an upper-middle family in the land of Yanzhao, but fortunately, Pang Yong is not a core clan, just a side branch, so we can also accept it.

In a word, at the end of the championship-winning competition, Jinpen Township was not idle, recruiting troops, accepting talents, and immediately put it on the agenda.
