Chapter 8: The First Battle
After Sun Du finished speaking, he turned around and walked away alone. Ding Qin didn't stop here, and then walked out.
Xiao Rou hesitated for a moment, and then immediately followed, "Brother Ding." ”
Ding Qin didn't stop, "Say it." ”
Xiao Rou's tone was filled with deep worry, "This Sun Du has already made it clear when he signed up that his spiritual power is more than the first-order level. Even if he doesn't have the same knots with you as before, he's an extremely difficult opponent. Now, with those factors, I'm afraid that he will fight with you. ”
Ding Qin's tone carried a kind of calmness and calmness, "Everyone has their own sad past, and we can't change anything." The past was like that, what's the solution?"
Xiao Rou could hear that Ding Qin was also thinking about herself, and nodded lightly, "Well, I know." I'm just worried about you. ”
Ding Qin smiled bitterly, "It's him who wants to fight hard, not me." However, I was surprised that his cultivation speed was so fast. Perhaps, this is the driving force of hatred. ”
Xiao Judo, "I've heard the dean say that if you can break through the first order of spiritual power before the age of eighteen, you can be regarded as a genius in spiritual cultivation. ”
Ding Qin heard this for the first time, but quickly shook his head. "I can't quite say that. While there is certainly a relationship between talent and talent, the role of the mentor and the effort put in are also crucial. Forget it, let's not talk about it. ”
Saying this, Ding Qin and Xiao Rou had already arrived at the martial arts arena. This is a large arena erected on the outside of the monastery, nearly two meters above the ground and about seven or eight meters in diameter.
In order to adapt to the offensive and defensive power between the spiritual apprentices, the base of the ring was made of bluestone, coated with cement mortar, and covered with a layer of molten iron. When the lights shine at night, they are reflected in a blur of brilliance, and they look magnificent.
After standing for a long time, the bone soul said in Ding Qin's sea of knowledge, "How do I feel, since you entered the city, someone has been following and monitoring you." ”
Ding Qin remained silent, "I feel it too." It's just that I'm not sure. Now I can only be sure that it is not Sun Du. ”
Bone Soul said, "It's really not Sun Du." It's just that we're new here, why is anybody doing that? Or is it just our delusion? Or are all the contestants being watched?"
Ding Qin didn't answer, but said very simply, "Sooner or later, there will be a day when the truth will come out." He turned around and patted Xiao Rou on the shoulder, "Let's go back first." ”
The night was uneventful.
The next day, Ding Qin and Xiaorou did not go out, and exercised pranayama in their rooms to make final preparations for the martial arts. And the person who watched last night did not show up.
The night seemed unusually long. For some reason, Ding Qin always had a desire and excitement in his heart. Not only because this is the first time he has participated in such a large-scale martial arts exercise, but also because he will face a series of strong enemies.
This is different from the last dojo assessment. At the time of the dojo assessment, his tactics had already been thought of. Everything is in your own hands, but this time is different.
I don't know who the opponent is, what abilities he has, and what level he will play!
Perhaps, only when facing a strong enemy will a person's deep desire to fight be so aroused.
As soon as it was dawn, Ding Qin went out of the house. He didn't sleep long, but his spirit was not affected in any way. In the courtyard, there are already people who habitually exercise in the morning.
"Take a sip. Sun Du didn't know when he came out, but he was sitting on the edge of a flower bed with a cowhide wine jug in his hand. When he saw Ding Qin, he didn't have any hostility, but just threw the wine jug directly.
Ding Qin grabbed it, "I don't drink." He threw it back again.
Sun Du took it back and took a sip of it himself, "Maybe you will drink it sooner or later." I wish the two of us didn't meet in the first round. ”
Ding Qin was a little puzzled, "Why?"
Sun Du said, "Because you are not my only goal. It was a coincidence to meet you. My goal is actually simpler than revenge. I want to make a name for myself. Although I am the son of a horse thief, I want the world to know that the son of a horse thief is useless. ”
As soon as Sun Du said these words, Ding Qin was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that Sun Du would be such a starting point. After tasting it carefully, Sun Du's feeling was somewhat similar to his feeling of wanting to correct the name of the Ding family. For a while, Ding Qin couldn't help but feel some sympathy for him.
"Hopefully you will succeed. With that, Ding Qin turned around and slowly walked to the other side. Sun Du shouted from behind, "Hey, Ding Qin, don't lose too early." ”
The sun rises. Three ancient bells rang in the seminary, and all the contestants were now concentrated in the ring. The rector of the Tongbao City Spiritual Seminary announced the rules, and then the lottery began according to the predetermined procedure.
In the male apprentice group, Ding Qin and Li Leiluo, the first group played.
Li Leiluo comes from the smallest of the thirteen towns, and is currently cultivated to the eighth floor. Compared to the level of Ding Qin's spiritual power at the first level and one layer, it is basically one heaven and one underground.
Coincidentally, Sun Du played in the second group. Similar to Ding Qin, he drew an apprentice of the ninth layer of agility. Although it is one level higher than Li Leiluo, the spiritual cultivation in the spirit period is not at the same level at all compared to those who have broken through the first order of spiritual power.
In the female apprentice group, Xiaorou's luck doesn't seem to be so good. She played in the fifth group of girls, and the opponents were the same as her, and they were all smart nine-layered.
Once the draw is complete, there is an hour to adjust. Ding Qin simply sat directly in the ring, closed his eyes and recuperated, waiting for the first martial arts exercise to begin.
With the sound of a gong, Li Leiluo finally appeared in front of Ding Qin.
Medium height, slightly chubby, small eyes, short hair.
Judging from his appearance alone, this person is not pleasing in Ding Qin's eyes.
Li Leiluo had a ruffian aura on his body, "Boy, if you let me win this game, I will give you 100,000 Xuantian coins." ”
After listening to this, Ding Qin smiled lightly, "This is a martial arts arena, not a big market." Besides, you're not worth the 100,000 Xuantian coins. ”
Li Leiluo's eyes narrowed slightly, and when he looked at it from a distance, it seemed to be closed. There was a fierce intent in his tone, "Listen to me! My father is the richest man in our town, if you dare not give me this face today, don't blame me for hiring someone to chop you up in the future!"
Ding Qin tilted his head, "You only have this ability?"
As he spoke, his body moved.
Since he did not fully release his spiritual power, no light band appeared behind Ding Qin. But even so, his speed can already be felt, beyond the level of agility.
Therefore, as soon as he moved, some people in the audience exclaimed!
And Li Leiluo's complexion has changed.
He didn't expect Ding Qin to make a move before he finished talking about the conditions, and he didn't expect this skinny-looking kid to have such a speed.
With a kind of fear that naturally swelled up in his heart, Li Leiluo quickly retreated.
Soon, though, a smile appeared on his face.
Because he recognized the recipe that Ding Qin was about to use.
Water Tricks!
Including many people in the audience, they also recognized the water trick at this time. Unlike Li Leiluo, the people in the audience are more confused and incomprehensible.
In the eyes of the vast majority of people, the water practice method is just an introductory method used by the apprentices of the spiritual institute to familiarize themselves with the direction of the meridians in the body. Once the cultivation is introduced, it is basically useless to cultivate the water practice technique.
A person who can have such speed must not be weak in strength, but why would he use this most basic and non-technical method when he has the opportunity to attack first?
Li Leiluo also thinks the same. Moreover, he also thought a little.
Ding Qin did not report to the level of repair.
Could it be that Ding Qin was because his cultivation level was too low, and Ding Qin rushed to attack because he knew that his cultivation had no advantage?
Unconsciously, Li Leiluo's courage actually increased.
In the face of Ding Qin's offensive, he suddenly reined in his feet and advanced instead of retreating.
In his hands, there was already a faint white light shining. As the distance between the two narrowed, Li Lei rose into the air and swooped down on Ding Qin from the air.
However, when he was less than a meter away from Ding Qin, he felt an unprecedented fear.
This fear does not come from his heart, but from his whole body!
The body that threw himself from the air was actually held up stiffly, and he couldn't get in half an inch anymore. Before that, Ding Qin's action was just a wave of his hand.
However, with this wave of his hand, he actually condensed a large amount of water vapor around him, forming a faint wall of water mist, blocking Li Leiluo's attack!
Before Li Leiluo could react, Ding Qin had already exerted his strength with both feet, jumped up from the ring, and punched out.
Ding Qin didn't use all his strength for this punch. He didn't want to hurt an opponent in the ring, let alone an opponent whose cultivation was not as good as his own.
However, under his blow, Li Lei was still knocked out of seven or eight meters and fell directly outside the ring.
The attack and defense between the two people is just a fleeting effort.
The referee sounded another gong, and the winner was decided.
Ding Qin stood under the stage, looked down for a week, and slowly walked off the ring in the surprised eyes of everyone.
Xiao Rou jumped up excitedly below, stepped forward to greet Ding Qindao, "Brother Ding is so good!"
Ding Qin nodded, but there was no expression on his face, "His cultivation is too low." I'll see you later. ”
Xiao Rou also had a confident smile on her face, "Don't worry, Brother Ding!"
As soon as she finished speaking, there was another boo from the crowd.
Ding Qin couldn't help but turn his gaze to the ring.
In the ring, Sun Du had already caught his opponent under him. He stood behind his opponent with one hand tightly locked on his throat.
From Ding Qin's resignation to talking to Xiaorou, it didn't take long. And Sun Du has also completed his first battle!
Sun Du's gaze happened to look at Ding Qin at this time, which was a look of disobedience and challenge.
Beside Ding Qin, an audience member suddenly murmured, "This year's martial arts conference seems to be very interesting."
