Chapter 40: The Rise of a New Life (Asking for Votes)
This year's Dragon Leaderboard is a little more intense than in previous years, and many defenders have been knocked down by the challengers, and the proportion has even reached more than half.
In other words, half of the 300 students on the last year's Dragon List have already hated this Dragon List competition!
Crucially, most of this is done by first-year freshmen.
This class is known as the strongest freshman in the millennium, and they have proved themselves with their strength.
"The state of Chu is about to rise!" this is the voice of most people.
In the VIP seats of the stands, the new king of Yan Kingdom, King Yan Heng, watched all this worriedly.
He didn't come this time to watch the Dragon Bang Dabi, but to find the Chu State Alliance; some time ago, the reason why the Qin State withdrew its troops was because the backyard of the Qin State, that is, the Yan State, turned against the water.
This time, the Qin State attacked the Chu State, and the Yan State and the Qi State were the only ones who looked forward to the Qin State as the younger brothers.
It's a pity that the previous King Yan died suddenly, and the pro-Qin Prince Yan unexpectedly did not take the throne, and was inherited by him, Yan Xun, who hated the Qin faction.
Then there was the next series of things, the Yan State turned against the water, so that the Qin State had to stop the attack on the Chu State. And this time, Yan Xun came to Chu State thousands of miles away, just to form an alliance with Chu State and prevent Qin State from turning around and solving Yan State.
Alliances are one thing, but Yan Xun doesn't want to see the Chu State too strong.
Yan Sheng sat next to Yan Xun, seeing Yan Xun's worried look, he naturally knew what he was worried about, although his lips and teeth did not move, his voice entered Yan Xun's ears.
"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, the Holy King of Chu has no ambitions, and the State of Chu is in his hands, and it is destined to perish. ”
This is the art of sound transmission, and there is no way to do it without a cultivator of the rank above the Spirit King.
"With Chu Sheng here, how difficult it is. Yan Xun sighed.
Since his sanctification, the sage of Chu has guarded the Great Chu State for more than 2,000 years, and has shocked the entire Canglong Continent.
"Chu Sheng is old," Yan Sheng said lightly.
At the age of 3,500 years old, if you don't break through the realm of immortals, you will not be able to withstand the erosion of time.
Yan Xun glanced at Chu Sheng, it was a very ordinary old man, with a linen gray robe, white hair and a shawl, and his face was covered with the traces left by the years.
Perhaps feeling Yan Xun's gaze, Chu Sheng slowly turned his head to look at him, it was a pair of incomparably deep eyes, Yan Xun seemed to be able to feel the vicissitudes of life from those eyes.
Yan Xun lowered his head slightly and saluted Chu Sheng.
Chu Sheng smiled slightly, turned his head and continued to look at Dabi.
Yan Xun retracted his gaze, looked at the ring in the arena, and said lightly: "Master, do you say that Chu Sheng really only has the cultivation of the sixth stage of the Spirit Saint?"
Of the five saints of the five countries, Chu Shengxiu is the highest, Lingsheng is the sixth, Yan is the lowest, Lingsheng is third, and the rest are all around the fourth and fifth stages of Lingsheng;
When Yan Sheng heard this, he showed a smile and said, "Your Majesty, you must know that the old man has already achieved the seventh stage of the Spirit Saint cultivation. Although Chu Sheng's talent is not as good as ours, his cultivation belief is extremely deep, and after five hundred years of vicissitudes, how can he not move forward an inch?"
"If the old man is right, he is only one last step away. ”
The last step is to step into the realm of immortals.
However, no one would think that Chu Sheng would be able to take the last step.
Chu Sheng, who has lived for more than 3,500 years, will eventually come to an end in his life.
The saint of Chu was ancient, and it was when the state of Chu fell apart.
"At that time, it will also be the day when my Great Yan swept through the Four Kingdoms and completed the unification of the Canglong Continent. ”
Yan Xun's ambition is comparable to that of Qin Shi Huang.
......
"Look, someone in the top ten rings of the Dragon List has gone up. The crowd in the stands shouted.
The top 10 ring has not been challenged in the first round for many years!
"Student Jiang Yibei, please give me advice. ”
In the top ten rings on the dragon list, someone finally came to the stage to challenge.
Li Chen, who ranked in the top ten, looked at Jiang Yibei, who was slowly walking onto the stage, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Why choose me?"
For the students in the ring, they had already guessed that there would be students to challenge this year's defensive battle, but they didn't expect that the first one to be challenged was themselves.
When Jiang Yibei heard this, he joked: "It's not because Senior Brother Li is the last. ”
"Is the persimmon soft? This is not your Jiang Yibei's style!" The two have known each other for a long time, but they don't mind Jiang Yibei teasing themselves.
It's just that Jiang Yibei is a man of the year in the freshmen, with a very proud personality and likes to challenge the strong.
"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, Senior Brother Li. Jiang Yibei said with a smile: "Just now Wang Dong failed because of carelessness, and now he is probably hiding at home crying, I don't want to end up like Wang Dong." ”
is also a freshman, Wang Dong's strength is not bad, Jiang Yibei will naturally pay attention to him, so he happened to watch the competition between Wang Dong and Yang Chengzhi.
Li Chen nodded, put away the smile on his face, stood with his hands, and said with a straight face: "Senior Brother Jiang, please." ”
"The battle for the three hundred seats of the Dragon List begins now. With the referee's order, a battle for the top ten of the dragon list officially began.
"Brush~"
Jiang Yibei took the lead in attacking, turning into a shadow and rushing straight at Li Chen, and as he ran, a white long sword appeared in the palm of his hand, which was originally empty.
Li Chen bowed his waist slightly, and there was also an extra white long sword in his hand out of thin air.
'Ding!'
The swords collided with each other, making a screeching sound, and the two of them were shaken backwards.
Li Chen took three steps back, and Jiang Yibei only took one step back.
However, because Li Chen is passive defense, the strength of the two should be between them.
Jiang Yibei carried his aura, and the sword body was covered with a thin layer of gas, and as soon as he stepped on his toes, he stabbed at Li Chen again.
Li Chen's hand hung outward at forty-five degrees, the tip of the sword pointed to the ground, and with the use of spiritual power, he pulled a sword flower, and a pit appeared on the ground in an instant;
'Bang!'
This time, before the two sides got close, the powerful spiritual power slammed together and exploded directly.
The loud noise made the entire Jiaolong Yuan instantly quiet, and the spectators in the stands looked towards this place, even the other players in the ring who were still fighting, intentionally or unintentionally.
This is the first time since the opening that there has been a loud noise that shook the entire Jiaolong Plain.
This is the blow of the Spirit Sect realm.
"This is the battle!" Ma Feifei in the stands looked at this scene, and finally came to a little interested.
At first, he watched the battle with excitement, but later found that although the fight in the battle was exciting, there was always a lack of flavor; just like if you look at the fight between the high martial world and the low martial world, the fight in the high martial world is all with special effects, and there are no storms at every turn, mountains and landslides crack, and the sky is flying away.
The low-martial arts world is where you come and go, you shoot me with a sword, and from time to time you have to report the name of your move twice.
In Ma Feifei's eyes, this world is a world of cultivating immortals that is one level higher than the world of high martial arts; if such a world fights, it must be done with special effects! You say that you are an immortal cultivation world, and a fight is the same as a world of low martial arts, what does it mean.
So much so that after watching a few games, Ma Feifei lost the desire to watch it, and lowered his head to write, until the loud noise just now made him want to watch the game.
The two people in the ring did not stop attacking because of that loud noise, and the figures of the two had turned into afterimages, in mid-air, in the ring, everywhere.
Cultivators below the Spirit Sect basically couldn't find their figures, and could only vaguely capture their afterimages and the moment when the two fought.
'Wave~'
A crisp sound sounded, and a circle of light suddenly floated around the ring, reaching straight into the sky.
This was originally a protective formation that would only be opened in the second stage, but it was opened in the first stage in advance because of the battle between the two.
It was also because of the opening of the formation that the two of them had no scruples when they fought, and all kinds of cool martial arts and techniques were used one after another, and the heaven and earth aura in the sky was also pulled by them, and they were constantly sucked into their own bodies, transforming them into powerful attack methods.
The second afterimage skimmed, and Li Chen and Jiang Yibei appeared in the ring.
"Senior Brother Jiang, I didn't expect you to hide so deeply, the second stage of the Spirit Sect is cultivated!" Li Chen looked at Jiang Yibei opposite with a somewhat pale face. In just a few minutes of fighting, he failed to take advantage of Jiang Yibei's hands, and what surprised him even more was that Jiang Yibei's strength was actually the second stage of the Spirit Sect!
If this were changed to last year, Jiang Yibei's cultivation would directly be the first place on the dragon list!
When Jiang Yibei heard this, he smiled lightly and said, "Senior Brother Li is also deeply hidden!"
His face was also a little unpleasant, he thought that Li Chen had just stepped into the realm of the Spirit Sect not long ago, and he had taken him under the knife, and he was nine out of ten, but he didn't expect that this kid had been hiding his cultivation, and he only found out that he had also reached the second stage of the Spirit Sect cultivation when he fought, and it was still in the late stage;
It's a shame that they still learn together, drink, and talk about the world on weekdays, but the result is that they are all drama spirits, and each one can pretend to be better than the other.
Li Chen smiled, looked at Jiang Yibei, and said, "In the face of the strongest freshman in the past thousand years, I won't leave a hand, senior brother, I'm afraid that I will be eaten by you freshmen." ”
Jiang Yibei smiled playfully and said, "Coincidentally, in the face of the top ten of the strongest dragon list in the past thousand years, I also kept a hand for my junior brother, and I also asked my senior brother to give advice." ”
After that, Jiang Yibei's eyes were tightly closed, and then the surrounding heaven and earth aura began to frantically surging into his body, and in a moment, Jiang Yibei's momentum reached a peak.
The long sword in his hand automatically floated, Jiang Yibei opened his eyes, his hands were crossed to his chest, and he pinched the sword, only to see that the long sword in front of him was actually divided into two, two and four, and four into eight~~ In the blink of an eye, countless long swords appeared.
The long sword was horizontal in the air, and the sword body was accompanied by powerful spiritual power, shining with a little light, and from the stands, it looked like a star map.
"Six-grade martial arts, Xingchen Sword Technique!"
There are countless powers in the stands, and naturally some people recognize Jiang Yibei's move.
In the Canglong Continent, everything has a level, and the same is true for martial arts. Gongfa martial arts are divided into nine grades, the upper three grades, the middle three grades, and the lower three grades.
The upper three grades of martial arts are hard to find, the middle three grades of martial arts are the mainstream, and the lower three grades are not in the stream.
The six-grade martial arts are the highest quality among the middle and third grades.
Jiang Yibei mastered the six-grade martial arts at a young age, which was really surprising.
Facing the six-grade martial arts, Li Chen's face was a little difficult to look at, as the top ten on the dragon list, he was fortunate to get a five-grade martial arts rewarded by the academy, this was already his most precious thing, but Jiang Yibei actually had a six-grade martial arts, how the hell could he fight?
However, Li Chen didn't intend to give up just yet, but urged the spiritual power, and the whole body suddenly burned into a flame, turning into a fire man, and as the aura of heaven and earth poured in frantically, the flames became bigger and bigger.
The strange thing is that although the flame is large, the viewer can clearly see Li Chen in the flame, he is wrapped in the flame, not even the corners of his clothes are burned, and he is standing inside intact.
"Five-grade exercises, the fire of the dead. ”
The Dark Fire Duel is also a relatively rare exercise, which essentially uses the aura of heaven and earth to transform into the Dark Fire through the refining of the Dark Fire Duel, so as to cause powerful damage to the enemy.
The dark fire is different from ordinary flames, it belongs to a different fire, and it is not a person who burns, but a spiritual power.
'Brush~'
With Jiang Yibei's urging, countless long swords carried the power of the stars and stabbed Li Chen directly.
Li Chen turned into a fire man, the huge flame transformed into a giant, and the long sword pierced into the flames, which was burned by the dark fire and turned into ashes.
But there were too many swords, every time a sword was burned, the dark fire would dim a little, the giant would shrink a few points, and after burning half of the long sword, Li Chen finally couldn't resist and was shocked out of the ring by the Xingchen Sword Technique.
"Poof"
Li Chen, who fell to the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood, and the flames on his body gradually dissipated.
"Defeated!"
As Li Chen was shocked out of the ring, all the people in Jiaolong Yuan looked at this scene in shock. This is the first time in a thousand years that a top 10 student on the Dragon List has been defeated by a challenger in the first stage.
If the top 300 on the dragon list are the pride of the sky, then the top 10 are peerless geniuses; there are more than 100 million cultivators in the Great Chu, and there are only more than 300 people who can make it to the dragon list; and those who can enter the top 10 on the dragon list are all leaders of the times and peerless in style.
But now, the top 10 students on the dragon list have failed! Defeated in the first stage! Defeated at the hands of a freshman!
Times are about to change!
"Senior Brother Li, concede. Jiang Yibei stood in the ring and clenched his fists.
Urging the Xingchen Sword Technique with all his might, his face was also extremely pale, and there was not much spiritual power left in his physical strength; it can be said that he won this time by luck, taking advantage of the martial arts, otherwise the outcome would be really unpredictable.
"Congratulations" Li Chen showed a wry smile, his defeat was not only embarrassing, but also lost the opportunity to stay on the dragon list. Even if it is three hundred, he is not qualified to compete, and once the defender loses, he will directly miss out on this year's Dragon List.
"Student Jiang Yibei succeeded in the challenge and ranked tenth on the dragon list. At this point, the referee on the side announced the result.
So far, Jiang Yibei has become the first challenger in the past thousand years to successfully challenge the top ten defenders of the Dragon List! This result has caused ripples in the entire Jiaolong Plain.
And Jiang Yibei's move seems to have opened a door for the challengers, and in the following time, the top ten defenders of the Dragon List have been challenged.
Even the No. 1 Xiaoyaozi was not spared.
Heaven seems to want to create surprises for this year's Dragon List Dabi, and after Jiang Yibei, the top ten defenders of the Dragon List were cut off one after another.
Until the end of the first stage of the Dragon List, the top ten of the last Dragon List were cut down by four!
Such an unexpected result also made this Dragon List Dabi enter a high chao stage.
