Chapter 439: The Second Round Begins
"What the hell just happened?"
"Why did those three opponents not resist much at all, and they were swept out. ”
"Could it be that Sun Cheng has some mysterious tricks?"
......
For this sudden scene, the entire audience didn't understand it too much. For those of them who are cultivating in the Yuan Martial Realm, their understanding of martial arts is more at the most basic level, and only the confrontation of pure strength, the bombardment of punches and kicks, can be understood.
But the lethality of the mental level is not so easy for them to understand.
However, they didn't understand, and even many masters who were also in the Spirit Martial Realm didn't understand it that way.
But on the rostrum, the six Xuanwu Realm powerhouses sitting on the platform, as well as the elders sitting behind them, were different, they still felt some unusual status.
The six Venerables actually stood up at the same time, their faces full of shock.
"Knife intent?" Han Rudi said with a look of disbelief.
Liu Dong, who was beside him, also nodded solemnly and said, "It should be the artistic conception of the sword." ”
Even Sun Cheng's Chen Yangshouzao, who has always agreed with him, had the same shocked look on his face.
And the elders sitting behind them only had some guesses at first, but now when they said it with such certainty, they were all shocked, and they started to talk about it.
For martial artists, each great realm has a different concept of martial arts.
Martial disciples temper their bodies and give birth to great power.
The Yuan Martial Realm refines the true yuan and controls the source of martial arts power.
The Lingwu Realm breeds martial spirits and has soul combat power.
And the Xuanwu realm, that is, detachment, condenses the true intention of a martial artist who belongs to him, and his every move, word and deed, has the true meaning of martial arts. The understanding of martial arts is enough to reach the point of transcendent sanctification.
However, the true intent of martial arts is far from being so easy to control.
For Xuanwu realm martial artists, when their cultivation breaks through to the Xuanwu realm, they smelt the true yuan in their body with their own understanding of martial arts, and reach a kind of mysterious realm. Many people began to fall into confusion, and they couldn't find their own martial arts path at all.
Therefore, even if it is a Xuanwu Realm martial artist, it is not easy to condense the true meaning of his own martial arts.
For example, the six Xuanwu Realm powerhouses on this rostrum, their cultivation is only the first level of the Xuanwu Realm, and they have not been able to condense their own martial arts true intentions, and they have always been on the edge of blurring, so it is difficult to make any further progress in cultivation.
As for those elders who have cultivated at the peak of the Ninth Rank of the Spirit Martial Realm, they can't even touch the edge, and their true meaning of martial arts is completely in a state of ignorance.
It is precisely because of this that they understand better how difficult it will be to condense the true intent of martial arts.
However, Sun Cheng actually created a miracle against the sky, and he actually condensed his own martial arts true intent with the cultivation of the Spirit Martial Realm.
In the eyes of those masters and strong men on the rostrum, this is completely unprecedented.
When was the true intent of martial arts so easily condensed?
Or is it that this Sun Cheng in front of him is destined to be a powerhouse in the Xuanwu Realm by nature, and even his martial arts path ends not only in the Xuanwu Realm, but may be higher?
For a while, Han Rudi's eyes looked at Chen Yang beside him abnormally, and he said with a complicated expression on his face: "Chen Yang's first seat, your Heavenly Sword Martial Mansion is terrible this time." Unexpectedly, he got a natural genius, the number one master of the White Tiger City in the future, I am afraid that this Sun Cheng is the only one. ”
As soon as Han Rudi finished saying this, the other extremely Xuanwu Realm powerhouses all nodded with feeling. Come to think of it, in their opinion, they also agree with this sentence very much.
When Chen Yang heard this, his heart was happy at the same time, but he was also full of worries.
As a martial artist who failed to condense the true meaning of martial arts, Chen Yang also had a sense of envy and jealousy towards Sun Cheng. However, he is the first of the Heavenly Sword Martial Mansion's Transmission Academy, and he has been preparing for cultivating younger generations and carrying forward the Heavenly Sword Martial Mansion all his life.
Sun Cheng showed great potential so early, and it was not surprising that he would have great worries in his heart.
Sun Cheng already has the potential to be the number one master in White Tiger City in the future. What about the existing ones? You know, the City Lord's Mansion and the two Martial Mansions, the three Mansion Masters of the three top forces of the White Tiger City.
They don't deal with each other. Why don't you deal with it, isn't it to compete for the title of the strongest person in White Tiger City?
The battle between those three has been going on for hundreds of years.
Now they don't want to, they haven't fought for a result yet, and the position of the first strong person has been locked by a junior? I'm afraid no one can accept such a result.
The lord of the Heavenly Sword Martial Mansion can say that after all, they are all from the same sect.
But the other two forces are not easy to say. really let Sun Cheng grow up, not to mention the false name of the first powerhouse, at least to change the balance of power between the three top forces today.
Therefore, it is completely predictable that the City Lord's Mansion and the Ten Thousand Swords Martial Mansion have already realized Sun Cheng's threat, and I am afraid that in the future, it is very likely that they will make some means to counteract.
Then Sun Cheng will be in danger.
However, worries are worries, and Chen Yang has no better way for a while, and he can only hope that Sun Cheng can grow up quickly. For this Lingchi Dabi, I hope that Sun Cheng can win a place.
After Sun Cheng won the selection of the tenth group, it also caused some sensation for a while, but the competition must continue after all. Soon, the competition platform was cleared, and the eleventh group of competitions officially began.
After two days and two nights of competition, a total of 36 groups of trials were completed, and the first place in each group was successfully qualified to enter the second round of competition.
Early in the morning of the third day, when the second round of the competition officially began, everyone realized that the final participants in the second round of the competition did not reach the 60 people expected at the beginning.
Instead, it became fifty people.
In addition to the twenty-four players who had cultivated to reach the fourfold level of the Spirit Martial Realm, ten of the thirty-six martial artists who had won through the first round of selection had directly abstained.
I only knew after Elder Liu Jianyuan's explanation.
It turned out that the first round of the selection competition was too intense. Although these ten people all won the game, they did not win by an absolute advantage, and under the siege of other warriors, they were all injured a lot.
In this case, in the face of the next stronger opponent, these ten people also know that they have little hope. Rather than being beaten up on stage and suffering more serious injuries, it is better to make a wise choice and abstain from voting.
In the second round of selection, the battle between two pairs is the mainstay, the winner continues, and the loser is eliminated.
Of course, as in the first round, there is still a privileged class.
Except for Han Shaoyang, the tenth son of the City Lord's Mansion, and Zhao Tianqi of the Ten Thousand Swords Martial Mansion, they are both perverts of the five-fold cultivation of the Lingwu Realm, and they don't need to participate in the competition, they automatically win, and directly lock in the top ten seats.
In other words, the remaining forty-eight martial artists will compete for the remaining eight top ten spots.
No one in the entire arena questioned such a rule.
After all, all martial artists know that cultivation is supreme. In many cases, the level of cultivation is directly equivalent to whether the personal strength is strong or not, except for a very small number of perverted geniuses, like Sun Cheng, almost no one can fight beyond the level, let alone in a group of geniuses.
Therefore, for Han Shaoyang and Zhao Tianqi, who directly locked the two top ten places, everyone took it for granted, after all, their cultivation was too far ahead of others.
There are even many viewers who feel that there is no competition at all, and there is no problem in directly locking two places for these two people to enter the spirit pool.
At this time, on the huge stone tablet on the side of the competition platform, the names of Han Shaoyang and Zhao Tianqi were still high.
The other 48 players are listed below.
With a flash of red streamer, Liu Jianyuan's figure appeared on the competition platform.
"Regarding the second round of the competition, forty-eight people are randomly matched, the winner enters the next game, the loser is eliminated directly, and the winner of the fifth round is given priority to advance to the top ten final list. ”
All the audience nodded. Lingchi is held every ten years, and every time it is such a rule, everyone knows it in their hearts.
Just when everyone thought that was the end of it, Liu Jianyuan spoke again.
"Of course, in order to make our Lingchi Big Competition different, a special rule has also been set, that is, if the players who are confident enough in themselves can also stand on the stage and defend themselves, let other players challenge, and those who win five rounds in a row will also be directly promoted. As the side of the challenge, if you win, you will automatically remember the strength of a round, and you don't need to eliminate the loser. ”
As soon as this rule came out, the entire audience was in an uproar.
How can they not understand, this rule is too confrontational, and it will push the already very hot game to the climax. However, everyone still feels that this rule is too redundant, and no one should be so self-conscious and dare to go on stage and let other opponents challenge it.
After all, those who can advance to the second round of the competition are all geniuses, and they are not easy people in terms of cultivation or strength.
As he spoke, Liu Jianyuan's gaze turned to the forty-eight candidate martial artists sitting under the stone tablet, and asked, "How about it, is there any of you who has the confidence to come up first." ”
However, waiting for his reply, there was silence.
No one really dared to try to challenge this rule.
This made Liu Jianyuan's face suddenly a little unsightly, and he couldn't help but sarcastic, and said: "Don't you all usually claim to be geniuses, can't you be arrogant? Why did you become a coward at this time?"
"A truly powerful martial artist does not lie in the level of his own strength, but in the strength of his heart, and if he doesn't even have the confidence to try, he begins to be cowardly, and his martial arts achievements in the future will be limited. ”
Liu Jianyuan tried his best to make a mockery, hoping that someone would come out and challenge the rules. After all, the Heavenly Sword Martial Mansion deliberately set up a different rule this time, just to make this year's Lingchi Dabi a little different, if there is no one who challenges it, then don't say that it is different, I am afraid that in the future, when everyone talks about it, it will become a laughing stock.
This is something he can't accept in any way.
For a while, the more than forty candidates in the audience did not look very good. Come to think of it, anyone who is ridiculed and ridiculed like this will not feel good in their hearts, even if the one who mocks them is a high-ranking elder.
At this moment, a Spirit Martial Realm Quadruple Cultivator in the audience suddenly shouted at Liu Jianyuan: "Elder Liu, I respect you as an elder and a senior, but you can't talk nonsense, right? This is not something that normal people can do at all. We are confident, but we are not stupid, the players who can go to the second round of the competition, everyone's cultivation and strength are not too much, really according to what you said, recklessly come to the stage, in addition to embarrassing yourself, what can be the result?"
Liu Jianyuan sneered and said, "Isn't it a shame? You all claim to be young geniuses, so now you don't even have the courage to be embarrassed?"
At the time of the dispute, among the forty-eight preferred martial artists, a figure suddenly stood up.
"I'll come. ”
The person who stood up was none other than Sun Cheng.
At this time, Liu Feng and Song Qian were both sitting next to Sun Cheng, and the two were taken aback by Sun Cheng's sudden movements. Liu Feng hurriedly pulled Sun Cheng's coat, and said, "Sun Cheng, what are you doing here." If you really come to power, what if you are beaten down?"
"Sun Cheng, I know your strength in my heart, Song Qian and I are fine, Xiuwei has just broken through the fourth level of the Lingwu Realm, and there are not too many advantages, it would be good to be able to participate in this Lingchi Competition, as a bit of knowledge. But you are different, you have great hopes, but coming to power like this is tantamount to accepting the wheel war of other geniuses, which is giving up the opportunity yourself. ”
On the side, Song Gan's face was also full of worry.
Sun Cheng smiled, he didn't care very much, he replied: "Senior Brother Liu Feng, don't worry, I have my plans." ”
The reason why he chose to come to power and accept the challenge was naturally not for no other reason, but because there were certain considerations.
First, this special rule was formulated by the Heavenly Sword Martial Mansion. If no one responds in the end, it will become a big joke, and every time there is a big competition in the Lingchi in the future, it will be taken out and ridiculed, and the reputation of the Sword Martial Mansion will be damaged that day.
As a member of the Heavenly Sword Martial Mansion, he naturally couldn't allow such a thing to happen.
Second, he used the knife intent before, and he already has a great reputation among the really high-level bigwigs, even if he wants to be low-key, he can't be low-key, so it's better to be high-profile. After completing five rounds of challenges, winning directly, and making everyone admire, he still has this confidence.
