Volume 4 Chapter 209 The Road to the Real Enemy is Narrow!(7,000 Words Chapter!Pleading for Support to Break the 500 Monthly Pass!)
Looking at it in a flash, there are at least a hundred black and red colorful flowers that are still in a budding state suspended in the sky above the Xuandou Ring, like an unopened lotus, and the two stones representing the plant system and the insect system on the spine stone of the forbidden book next to Lan Yuzhuo are also blooming with bright light, there is no doubt that Lan Yuzhuo, who is only seventeen years old, is a mid-level Xuanzhi of the plant insect double lineage! Although Long Chen's mystic aura could not reach the top of the ring, just from the appearance, it was enough to judge that this ground-level fusion ability used by Lan Yuzhuo was at least a medium fusion skill. [_ζ\θ·―\δΈ\ζ\0m Hand Hit Home]
As soon as he entered the field, he forced the opponent to surrender voluntarily with the ground-level fusion ability, which was indeed greatly unexpected by everyone, even Long Chen did not expect this, he originally planned to pay close attention to Lan Yuzhuo's control over the forbidden ability, and how well he grasped the timing of use, but in less than three seconds after the opening, this ninth battle was over.
Is it impulsive or intentional?Long Chen was a little puzzled, from common sense, it was really a bit stupid to expose the secret of having a medium or above fusion skill in the first round, but this genius boy of the Lan family was obviously not a stupid person, so what was he doing this for?
However, there is no escaping one fact in any case. If this was Long Chen's own situation, under Lan Yuzhuo's sudden use of the ground level fusion ability, he was afraid that the only way he could respond would be to jump out of the ring immediately, because he didn't know what the final effect of this ability was, how could he dare to recklessly take it hard? This is also the reason why Long Chen showed a solemn expression.
Zhu Zicheng, who was beside Long Chen, suddenly sighed: "After this scene, I estimate that those members who meet Lan Yuzhuo in the future will use all their defensive abilities as soon as they enter the field." β
"Since Lan Yuzhuo dared to use this ground level fusion technique, it proved that he was confident in breaking all defensive abilities. β
Long Chen replied, with a thoughtful look in his dark eyes, and said lightly: "The top priority now is to find a way to investigate the effect of Lan Yuzhuo's Ground Rank Fusion Ability before the second round of the draw begins. β
"Hmm. β
Zhu Zicheng nodded, and then smiled again: "However, we don't need to worry about this kind of thing, those elders of the Ning family will definitely investigate, I believe it won't be long before there will be results." β
"I'm afraid this is a fusion technique that no one knows what it does. β
Long Chen said worriedly, he always felt that since Lan Yuzhuo dared to use it in the first round, he must also be extremely confident in this regard, and he decided that no one knew the effect of his ground level fusion technique.
There are many species ingested by the six major systems, and the ability that the mystic can ingest is also strange, if it is a single-line mystery, it is easy to judge the role of the ability from the appearance of the ground level fusion technique, after all, the mystic has existed in the world for tens of thousands of years, and there are also special mystics who record the fusion techniques that have appeared.
But the dual-line and three-line mystics are different, the offensive abilities between the various systems are mixed and fused with each other, and it is extremely easy to have some strange abilities that have not been recorded, especially when using the Earth Spirit Array for fusion, even if the abilities used by the two mystics are the same, but the final fusion skills may also diverge.
Long Chen didn't have any hope that the Ning family would be able to investigate the effect of the fusion technique used by Lan Yuzhuo, but it was possible that the white fox would know that the white fox had followed the original owner of the ground stage shooting field for so many years, so he should have some understanding of this aspect.
When Lan Yuzhuo stepped down and walked back to the passage, Ning Zhiying, who had not spoken, also said with a solemn expression: "I didn't expect that he had successfully fused the second fusion technique, it seems that it won't take a few years for him to break through the forbidden canon of the high-level honorable level, and in this regard, he is actually faster than his brother." β
Hearing this, Long Chen was a little surprised: "He still has a fusion ability?"
Ning Yuying nodded and said, "Well, besides, it's a medium fusion technique. β
Long Chen frowned slightly, and said to himself: " Lan Yuzhuo is only seventeen years old, and he has been at the intermediate level for a year, as a dual-line mystery, the number of original pages that can be opened in the forbidden canon is twelve, just the medium fusion technique just now, it will occupy four original pages, if there is also a fusion skill, this shows that Lan Yuzhuo has at least six or more offensive abilities that have been promoted to the ground level in the forbidden canon, and as an insect-planting dual-line mystic who is not outstanding in offensive ability, there are so many offensive abilities, this Lan Yuzhuo seems to be a paranoid who is extremely keen on attacking. β
"In the twelve pages, counting the two fusion skills, there are already eight offensive abilities, according to this, I suspect that Lan Yuzhuo's remaining three available original pages are likely to be blank, so in pursuit of attack, Lan Yuzhuo will naturally think about fusing a high-level fusion technique after stepping into the sect level. β
Zhu Zicheng also analyzed on the side, and Long Chen also agreed with Zhu Zicheng's point of view, which more or less revealed why Lan Yuzhuo used fusion techniques as soon as he came on the field, a mysterious person who thoroughly pursued attack, and it was normal to do this kind of thing.
Among the six Xuan Fights in the whole afternoon, only Ning Zhiying and Lan Yuzhuo stepped into the Intermediate Honorable Rank, and the other Xuan Masters were all beginners, and in the next three Xuan Fights, there were members of the Ning family who came on the field, but in the end they still failed.
Really counted, among the twelve Xuan Fights on the first day, aside from Ning Yuying and Lan Yuzhuo, the only person who caught Long Chen's attention was the young man named Cai Ziqin, but unfortunately this person would not have a chance to play again in the future.
After the end of the first day of Xuandou, the members of the Ning family also decreased from the original sixteen to fourteen, and the Ning family won two of the four Xuandou games, but it was also the same.
After returning to the Jiahe Hall in the Ning family's inner house, Long Chen closed the door and entered the secret room, and released the white fox from the nine-eyed bracelet of the beast, as if it was suffocated, the white fox jumped around as soon as he came out, and she has not come out since Long Chen entered the Jiahe Palace.
After the white fox calmed down a little, Long Chen spoke: "There is something I want to ask you." β
"What's the matter?"
The white fox squatted in front of Long Chen, wagging his tail and said, she obviously didn't pay attention to Long Chen's participation in the Xuandou Conference, in her opinion, Longchen's true strength has surpassed that of the high-level Xuandou Tournament, and the result of participating in this Xuandou Conference like a child's competition should be undoubted.
Long Chen tidied up a little, and then Zhengse said: "In a Xuan fight this afternoon, there is a member of the Lan family's inner room named Lan Yuzhuo, who used a very strange ground level fusion ability, according to my observation, it should be a fusion skill above the middle level, the range is quite broad, covering the entire ring in the near future, I estimate that even the six families probably don't know the role of this ability, so I want to ask you, but I don't know if you know how deep you know about fusion skills." β
The white fox blinked his blue pupils and said softly: "As long as it is a fusion technique that has appeared, I should remember it, and besides, in the master's study, some ancient classics have specially recorded some ground level fusion techniques that appeared at that time." β
Hearing the white fox say this, Long Chen immediately said: "Let me describe it, you can see if it fits." β
"Good. β
The white fox nodded, and carefully straightened up Long Chen to describe the presentation state of the fusion technique used by Lan Yuzhuo at that time.
After speaking, Long Chen took a light breath and said, "That's it, have you seen it?"
The white fox was silent for a while with a look of longing in his blue eyes, and then said slowly: "As far as I know, there are nearly three hundred kinds of fusion techniques of the dual-lineage mystic of the plant and insect systems, and there are only two of them that are consistent with what you said. β
Long Chen hurriedly asked, "Which two?"
The white fox immediately said: "One was once named the Bloodthirsty Poisonous Lotus, and the other was called the Rainstorm Poisonous Lotus. β
Long Chen was slightly stunned for a moment, and asked again, "What is the difference between the Bloodthirsty Poison Lotus, the Rainstorm Poison Lotus?"
The white fox explained: "After the former is launched, it seems that it will first release a burst of poisonous fragrance to paralyze and delay the opponent's action, and then gather together to chase the opponent for the final blow, the blood in the body of the hit person will be absorbed by the poisonous lotus, as long as it is hit five times in a row, it will definitely be bloody, while the latter, it is blooming into thousands of petals, pouring down like a torrential rain, with extremely strong corrosiveness, and even sucking away part of the opponent's Xuan Qi, both of which are medium fusion skills." β
Long Chen frowned and said, "The form is exactly the same at the beginning?"
"Well, it's only after it's actually activated that there will be unwanted changes. β
The white fox nodded, and Long Chen didn't say anything anymore, compared to the Rainstorm Poisonous Lotus, he was more worried that Lan Yuzhuo had a Bloodthirsty Poisonous Lotus, because the competition ring was so big, but if a hundred or so Bloodthirsty Poisonous Lotus were to chase after the Xuanzhi after they were launched, it would not be easy to dodge at all.
The most important thing is that with the assistance of the Red Refining Black Dragon Armor, Long Chen is not afraid of the corrosiveness of the Rainstorm Poison Lotus, and it is not a big problem to absorb part of the Xuan Qi volume, but the Bloodthirsty Poison Lotus actually has a special effect of sucking blood, which the Red Refining Black Dragon Armor cannot defend against.
Although it is still impossible to determine which alcohol ability Lan Yuzhuo has, at least he has a general understanding that if he meets Lan Yuzhuo in the second round, Long Chen will not be forced to jump out of the ring and admit defeat without knowing anything.
After resting for the night, early the next morning, Long Chen followed the rest of the contestants to the arena in the red-crowned and white-feathered giant peng, and on the way, he learned from Ning Zhiying that the elders of the Ning family didn't seem to know the effect of the ground level fusion technique that Lan Yuzhuo used yesterday, and it was said that they were still looking through some classics left over from ancient times.
Long Chen originally had great expectations for the Xuandou on the second day, hoping to see the strength of the other middle-level venerable members, but unexpectedly, among the three Xuandou who had reached the middle-level venerable strength on the stage, two of them actually met members of the same camp, and the final result was that the party with obviously poor strength took the initiative to admit defeat.
When the participating members of the same camp meet together, only the members with little difference in strength will try their best, but once they are one level lower, the party with low strength will take the initiative to give up, this is an agreement within the six families, and those who take the initiative to give up are not without benefits, and they can also get a hundred tenth-level magic stones as compensation.
And those two people, one is an external member of the Cang family, Sha Xi, a twenty-year-old middle-level venerable of the poultry lineage, and the other is a member of the inner room of the Ao family, Ao Yiming, a two-line mystic of birds and water, who is also twenty years old, but has been at the middle-level venerable level for three years, and is one of the members that Longchen pays the most attention to.
Although he had heard the two mystics talk about Ao Yiming's very keen on women when he was in the ancient refining tower, and he didn't seem to be worried, Long Chen didn't think that Ao Yiming was really an embroidered pillow, and there was no one who could pass through the middle-level venerable forbidden canon who didn't rely on his true skills.
The last one is a member of the Yan family's inner room, Yan Yang, who is nineteen years old, has been in the middle level for one year, and is a beast.
In the battle with the outside member of the Lan family, Yan Yang knocked his opponent out of the ring with a single attack, and the method used was almost the same as that of Udun Lu, two defensive abilities were superimposed, one was a ground level power, one was an auxiliary type of rapid dash ability, and one was an offensive ability, and he won the victory without delay.
Counting Ning Jiying and Lan Yuzhuo, in the twenty-four Xuan Battles in two days, there had already been a nameless middle-level Venerable Xuan, and the results were all victorious without surprise.
Knowing that the twelve matches on the second day were over, there was no strong duel during the period, and Long Chen's harvest from watching the battle in person was really minimal, and it was not as intense as he imagined.
Long Chen inquired with Ning Zhiying, and after learning that among the seven members with middle-level honorable strength in the back, all of his opponents were beginner-level honorable strength, his interest in watching the battle was finally exhausted, and he simply stayed in the secret room of Jiahe Hall to improve the Fanchen Refining Method.
Zhu Zicheng also took on the task of summarizing the daily game, and after the end, he first went to Long Chen's room and dictated all the things sent to Long Chen.
In the Xuandou field on the fourth day, Zhu Zicheng won the forty-fifth victory without shock.
When Zhu Zicheng won the victory, except for Long Chen, only seven of the original sixteen members of the Ning family were present, and the remaining eight had already packed up their things and left the Jiahe Palace.
The fifty-five knockout matches in the first round, a duel at the end of the Ning family and the Gong family, with the victory of the Ning family, finally came to a temporary end.
According to the arrangement, in the morning of three days, another draw will be held on the ring square.
To say that the most depressed person in the first round of the knockout round is undoubtedly Gong Shangshu, the head of the Gong family, in the first round of the opening and the end of the fifty-fifth round, he lost twice when he met the Ning family, which made Gong Shangshu leave the field with a black face all the time, quite unhappy.
On the morning of the second day after the end of the first round, in Longchen's room, Zhu Zicheng counted the number of winners in the first round, and then said: "In the second round, there are twelve people in the Lan family, ten people in the Ao family, eight people in the Gong family, nine people in the Yan family, eight people in the Cang family, and eight people in the Ning family. β
Speaking of this, Zhu Zicheng said with a smile: "But there is also a chance of a bye, if you draw a bye, it would be good, then you can also earn a tenth-level magic stone for nothing." β
Long Chen smiled and said, "It is estimated that anyone wants to draw it, but the odds of fifty-five brands are too small." β
Zhu Zicheng muttered thoughtfully: "I'm wondering if you will draw the first game of the second round again." β
"I shouldn't have been so lucky. β
Long Chen replied without thinking, if he really drew the first game again, this chance was not smaller than the chance of drawing a bye.
Zhu Zicheng stayed for a while and left, just now Elder Zhong came over again, and at the same time brought six hundred tenth-level magic stones, which were given to the members who entered the second round, Long Chen and Zhu Zicheng got it, and there was an earth spirit array in the room of Jiahe Palace, Zhu Zicheng of course wanted to take advantage of the second round of lottery, try to improve the remaining abilities in the forbidden canon to the ground level as much as possible.
In the early morning of the fourth day, the six contestants who were still in the Jiahe store, including Long Chen, gathered and waited at the entrance of the Jiahe Hall early, and Chang Degong also came over in person and said some encouraging words again, in fact, he didn't need to come at all at this time, and these remaining contestants knew what to do in the second round of the competition.
After Chang Degong left, Long Chen and the others immediately followed Elder Zhong to the resting square of the flying mount, and rode the red-crowned and white-feathered giant peng to the duel square.
Since the second round of the competition will not start until tomorrow morning, the Duel Square has also been temporarily closed for the past few days, and there is no spectacular scene of thousands of flying mounts marching in groups, and after arriving at the Duel Square, it is also deserted.
Still the same as in the first round of the lottery, there is a turquoise stone platform in the center of the sunken flat square, on which a black box is placed.
When the six members of the second round were all assembled in the square, the members of the Lan family took the lead in drawing lots.
Lan Yuzhuo is not the only middle-level Venerable among the Lan family's participating members this time, in fact, judging from the strength on the surface, an external member recruited by the Lan family seems to have more potential than Lan Yuzhuo, and the odds of winning the first place are also one to two, only lower than Ao Yiming, a member of the Ao family's inner room.
But Lan Yuzhuo's identity made him the first person to draw lots, and after he walked to the black box to prevent him from drawing lots on the turquoise platform, he did not immediately draw lots, but turned his head and looked at the Ning family's team, as if looking for it, and finally, his eyes fell on Long Chen. Lan Yuzhuo, who rarely smiled in the eyes of everyone, actually smiled slightly when he looked at Long Chen's puzzled gaze.
This smile was not a provocation, nor a mockery, but as if it was taking the initiative to show goodwill, which made Long Chen stunned for a moment, and he was really a little confused.
Of course, this scene did not fall into the eyes of too many people, only Zhu Zicheng, who was standing beside Long Chen, saw it, and couldn't help but joke: "This guy, can't you have taken a fancy to you?"
Long Chen was too lazy to pay attention to Zhu Zicheng, and glanced at Zhu Zicheng with a cold face, but he was a little helpless in his heart, it seemed that after the first round of the Xuan Dou, Lan Yuzhuo had noticed himself.
The eleven members of the Lan family quickly completed the lottery, and judging from the expressions of the members of the Lan family, it seemed that none of them had drawn the precious bye, which made Zhu Zicheng, who had been staring at the black box, pat his chest and breathe a sigh of relief.
Next, the ten members of the Ao family also completed the lottery, and no one got a bye, when it was the turn of the Gong family, Zhu Zicheng's eyes were very sharp and he found that two people deliberately stared at Long Chen, but the gaze of these two people was quite unkind, one was Gong Yue, and the other was Gong Ximing.
"Hmph, I'd like to see if you'll be so lucky in the second round. β
After Gong Yue pulled out the duel lottery from the black box, she glared at Long Chen and whispered to herself, now among the fifty-five members who have entered the second round, the person she least wants to see is obviously Long Chen, and the victory of Long Chen in the first round has also made her feel very uncomfortable these days, and when she sees Long Chen, she always has a resentment in her heart.
"After all, it's just a foil. β
Gong Ximing looked at Long Chen and said coldly, he didn't have a grudge against Long Chen because of Gong Yue's relationship, the real reason was because of Ning Zhiying.
The friendship between the Gong family and the Ning family has made the correspondence between Gong Ximing and Ning Zhiying quite close, and Ning Zhiying has always regarded Gong Ximing, who is three years older than her, as another brother, but when Ning Zhiying gradually grew up, she became more and more beautiful and moving, and became the most beautiful girl among the younger generations of the six families.
At that time, the seventeen-year-old Gong Ximing, who happened to be in love for Ning Jiying, couldn't help but have a childlike affection for Ning Jiying, which is also inevitable, at this age, anyone will have a favorite sweetheart.
But Ning Zhiying obviously couldn't accept it, and she didn't know how to get along with Gong Ximing, so after getting Ning Haiyan's approval, she went to the domestic continent to play, and asked Gong Yue to secretly follow Ning Jiying to leave the Heavenly City with Gong Ximing's instructions.
Originally, Gong Ximing didn't take to heart what Gong Yue said after he came back, how could a beggar who lived in a cellar have too much intersection with Ning Jiying?
Unexpectedly, this beggar actually became an external member of the Ning family three years later, and participated in the Xuandou Conference with his superior strength, and even Gong Ximing learned from some sources that Ning Zhiying seemed to like drinking Longchen and chatting together, and it was obvious that the relationship between the two was a little abnormal, and of course he couldn't bear it.
In Gong Ximing's opinion, Ning Jiying can like anyone, but if he likes a beggar who once needed to live in the cellar, this is something he can't accept.
I thought that Wu Dunlu was enough to take out Long Chen's name, and no matter how bad it was, he could be seriously injured and disabled, but he didn't expect that it was Wu Dunlu who was almost disabled, and Gong Ximing's jealousy for Long Chen in his heart became deeper and deeper.
"It's better for me to run into him on the second side!"
Gong Ximing said with a gloomy face and hatred in a low voice. Turning his gaze back from Long Chen, he put his hand into the black box, took out a duel ticket, glanced at it, and was stunned for a moment.
After the eight members of the palace family completed the draw, the bye lottery still did not appear, followed by the nine members of the Yan family who also finished the lottery, but the lucky bye lottery seemed to be always reluctant to come out.
When it was the turn of the contestants of the Cang family, Zhu Zicheng discovered another thing, Cang Wan'er seemed to deliberately glance at Long Chen, sighed at the moment, and muttered a little sourly: "Hey, Lan Yuzhuo just looks at you, why does Cang Wan'er also look at you twice, why don't I be appreciated." β
"You scream a few times and someone will look at you. β
Long Chen sneered, Zhu Zicheng pursed his lips and stared at the black box again.
To Long Chen's great surprise, no one in the Cang family had such good luck, and Zhu Zicheng was obviously the most excited one, and he was ready to fight before it was his turn, among the eight members of the Ning family, he was ranked second to last, and when the members of the Ning family in front of him walked away one by one, and none of them showed a happy look, his two eyes had already been brightened.
There is no doubt that one of the last two picks has a bye, which was either drawn by Zhu Zicheng or drawn by Long Chen.
"Whew-"
Zhu Zixiang took a deep breath like a bellows, ran to the black box, spat two breaths into the palm of his hand, and felt out a duel ticket with burning eyes.
On this sign, there are only two words, bye.
"Hahaha-"
Zhu Zicheng looked up to the sky and laughed three times, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, but these eyes were all jealous and disdainful.
"What shit luck. β
Long Chen couldn't help muttering, he couldn't think of a one-in-half chance, and in the end he was snatched away by Zhu Zicheng, so he could only helplessly walk over and take out the last duel sign.
When he saw the number of matches on the duel, Long Chen was stunned for a moment.
Zhu Zicheng walked over with a bright smile on his face, stretched his neck and asked curiously: "What's wrong? It can't really be the first one, right?"
Long Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Your crow's mouth has been fulfilled." β
"What crow's mouth?"
Zhu Zicheng obviously didn't understand what Long Chen meant, but he had already seen the number of duels in Long Chen's hand, opened his mouth, rolled his Adam's apple, and said with a smile: "You are lucky...... Sure enough, it's different. β
The last showdown draw, the first game of the second round!
Long Chen was speechless.
When Ning Zhiying, who came over, learned that Longchen was the first game again, it was hard to believe that the two final draws were drawn to the first game, which was indeed a little too weird.
After the lottery, the six elders immediately began to record separately, because there were only fifty-five people, the process was much faster than the first time, and it didn't take long for the record to be completed and filed for six.
After completing this step, all the participating members immediately followed the elders of their respective leaders back to Heavenly City on flying mounts, and then in the shortest possible time, the people who followed this Xuandou Conference in Heavenly City also got the list of second rounds.
The handicap set by the six masters, among which the betting on the winner has stopped betting before the start of the first round of the Xuandou Conference, and the odds have not changed, but in the next round of the duel, there are new odds for the Xuanmen to bet on the winner of a single game.
Not long after the six members of the Ning family returned to the Jiahe Palace, Elder Zhong appeared outside the Jiahe Hall with six envelopes, this time it was no longer handed over by the maidess, but he signed and handed these envelopes to the six contestants.
After Long Chen got the fresh air, he immediately took out the letter paper inside, opened it and looked at it, only to see that it was written.
"The second round, the first game, Gong Ximing, age 20 years old, a member of the palace family's inner room, the strength of the middle-level honorable level, the time of the middle-level honorable level is half a year, and there are four known abilities in the forbidden canon, which are the acceleration of the ground-level wind, the ground-level diamond armor, the ground-level excited ice, the ground-level fire pillar, and the ground-level fusion ability, the specific unknown. β
After reading it, Long Chen's brows locked, he had already learned from Ning Yuying that the young man who stood next to Gong Yue and always cast an unkind gaze was Gong Ximing, Gong Yue's sibling brother.
