Chapter 5: Ring Competition
Ling Mu, who walked away, naturally didn't hear the conversation between the two, but for Ling Mu, it didn't matter, because Ling Mu came to the Qi family this time.
Due to the large number of people who participate in the Enlightenment Conference every year, and the difference in strength is too great, the Enlightenment Conference will divide the people who sign up into two groups.
One group is the one who has cultivated to reach the Gathering Spirit, and the other group is the one whose strength has reached the Gathering Spirit Mirror. Those who cultivate only those who gather spirits will have to participate in a round of competition on the first day, and only those who advance are eligible to participate in the competition on the second day.
Gathering Spirits and Gathering Mirrors are two completely different concepts, Gathering Spirits refers to condensing the spiritual energy into a sea of qi in the dantian, and gathering Spirits is just a process of cultivation, not a cultivation realm in the real sense.
The Gathering Spirit Mirror represents a martial arts realm, and of course, you can't simply rely on the realm to judge the strength of a martial artist. If you want to achieve the Spirit Gathering Mirror, you need to open up the spiritual veins in your body, so that the spiritual energy spreads all over all parts of the body, and the more spiritual veins you have, the thicker and thicker your strength will naturally be.
Therefore, on the first day of the Enlightenment Conference, in the eyes of the strong, it was just a small fight among a group of children, and the real competition had to wait until the second day.
Ling Mu came to a registration office and saw an old man with gray hair registering the information of the applicant.
When it was Ling Mu's turn, the old man asked, "Name." ”
"Ling Mu. ”
The "age" old man didn't raise his head, and used his spiritual power to record information on the jade plate.
"Fifteen. ”
"What about strength?" the old man was waiting for Ling Mu's answer.
"Gathering Spirits. ”
"Hmm, it's just a spirit gathering, not a spirit gathering mirror?" the old man raised his head and asked with some incredulity.
Unexpectedly, this old gentleman had such great expectations for himself, Ling Mu scratched his head a little embarrassed, and said, "It's just a gathering of spirits." ”
"Hey, it's really ruined. The old man sighed, a little disappointed.
"Does strength still depend on your face?" Ling Mu said secretly in his heart, a little speechless.
The old man handed the jade tablet with the recorded information to Ling Mu and said, "Five hundred spirit crystals." ”
Ling Mu, who just wanted to take the jade card, shook his hand and said, "Do you still need money?"
"It's just a deposit, when you return the brand, the money will naturally be given to you, whoever tells you not to cultivate well, the spirit gathering mirror doesn't need a deposit. The old man blew his beard angrily.
Ling Mu was helpless, took out the money from selling the sheep and handed it to the old man. Holding the jade plaque, he looked at it, there was a nine-character in addition to his own information, and then looked at Lingjing Ling Mu, who still felt a little painful.
It is not easy to pass the first day of the competition, and you need to defeat ten challengers in a row in the ring to be eligible for the second day.
The reason why the conditions are so harsh is because the essential difference between the Gathering Spirit and the Gathering Spirit Mirror is too great, if the Gathering Spirit Mirror is compared to a child who can walk, then the Gathering Spirit is when he just learned to stand.
Ling Mu followed the guidance and came to the place of the competition, a huge circular Colosseum stood in front of Ling Mu, even Ling Mu, who grew up in the imperial city as a child, was amazed by the buildings in front of him.
Here, ordinary people need to buy tickets and queue up to get in to watch the game, while contestants only need to show their jade cards to get priority access to the arena. Looking at the long line, Ling Mu was glad that he was a contestant.
After Ling Mu came in through verification, he saw that there were nine rings on the wide field, and each ring was engraved with a corresponding number.
Ling Mu observed for a while and found that the nine rings were competing at the same time, and as long as one side of the ring fell, someone would immediately make up for it and continue the fight.
Looking at the crowd of spectators, Ling Mu said with some surprise: "I didn't expect the battle at the spirit gathering level to be so popular. ”
"Little boy, this is wrong, they don't like to watch the battle at the spirit gathering level, but because they can gamble. A thin man with a thief's eyebrows and eyes said behind Ling Mu.
Ling Mu turned around, looked at the lewd person in front of him and said, "Gambling, what kind of gambling." ”
Seeing that Ling Mu was interested, the man said again: "It's a bet on who can advance, the promotion in one game is ten times, the promotion in two games is twenty times, and so on." Is Childe interested in gambling, the small one is named Pi Zi'an, and he is also famous in this Qiling City, and he has absolute credibility. ”
Seeing that Ling Mu didn't answer, Pi Zi'an pointed to a young man in the ring and said, "Childe, look, this young man has already defeated eight people in a row, and he only needs to fight two games to advance." Buy him and win and your money will be multiplied twenty times in no time. ”
Although Ling Mu hadn't seen this, he wasn't stupid, the people in the ring had indeed won eight games, but they had obviously exhausted their strength, and it was impossible to win one at all.
Ling Mu looked at the competitions in other rings again, he understood that for people at the Gathering Spirit level, there was no genius, let alone a gap in strength, and he could win ten battles, relying only on perseverance and endurance, and no one knew who would win.
So most people will only buy the last game depending on the situation, and even then the casino is sure to make a profit, because there are only a few people who win every year.
Seeing that Ling Mu still didn't speak, Pi Zi'an was going to go again to see if he could fool other sons.
Seeing Pi Zi'an, who was about to turn around and leave, Ling Mu said, "Slow down. ”
When Pi Zi'an heard this, he gathered around Ling Mu again and said with a smile: "Childe, who do you want to buy." ”
Ling Mu glanced at Pi Zi'an, took out the remaining seven hundred spirit crystals, put them in Pi Zi'an's hand, and said, "Buy me." ”
After saying that, Ling Mu jumped down, leaving only the stunned Pi Zi'an.
"Who is this? "After so many years, it's the first time Pi Zi'an has seen someone dare to buy ten games, and he still buys his own.
Ling Mu came to his ninth ring, at this time, the person above had just defeated the ninth person, and he could advance after defeating one, but unfortunately he had exhausted his last bit of strength, and he was half-kneeling on the ground panting.
Maybe it was out of sympathy, maybe it was sympathy, and no one immediately came to power. The tacit agreement is to give the people in the ring a break.
"Why don't you dare to face a strong man who has won nine consecutive victories? Then let Ben Gongzi end your winning streak. Suddenly, a man in purple jumped into the ring and said.
Regardless of the boos under the ring, the purple-clothed boy clenched his fists and said, "In Xia Du Pingsheng, please give advice." ”
Gritting the guard, his teeth climbed up, and he clenched his fists and said, "Lu Xinghua." ”
Just heard that Lu Xinghua had just finished reporting his name, and Du Pingsheng rushed over.
Lu Xinghua didn't react, he was punched hard in the face, and his teeth burst out.
"Ahhh......h
Du Pingsheng stepped forward and stepped on Lu Xinghua's back, ignoring Lu Xinghua's screams, pulling Lu Xinghua's hands behind his back, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Before everyone could react, they saw Du Ping violently twist Lu Xinghua's arms, and kick his dantian fiercely. Lu Xinghua was kicked and flew out.
