Chapter 203: Fierce Competition
Leaving the arena, the three of them reunited.
"Jin Hao, that's good!" Mo Ye said to Jin Hao with a smile.
Jin Hao's performance is really eye-catching. Compared with more than half a year ago, Jinhao's strength has increased significantly.
"That man's strength should not be underestimated, and if I hadn't frozen him at the right time, I might have to fight him for a long time. Jin Hao said calmly.
"Mo Ye, Jin Hao played well today, let's see my wonderful performance tomorrow!" Kelvin laughed from the side.
"Okay, then let me see your strength after diving tomorrow!" Mo Ye smiled slightly.
After a night's rest, the day came again.
The three of Mo Ye, with the sign in their hands, re-entered the martial arts arena and returned to their positions.
In the stands, everyone was very excited.
Because today, the hundred students recruited by the Wentian School Palace in Yuzhou are about to be announced.
"I hope that my children can successfully win the quota!" Many monks began to feel a little apprehensive in their hearts.
They were all members of the young monks who participated in the selection, and they must have been more attentive to the next competition than the young monks themselves.
In order to cultivate such an excellent child, they almost exhausted the assets of the entire family. If their children fail, all their efforts will be in vain, and what they are pursuing will be in vain.
However, once the children of their family successfully won the quota and entered the Wentian Academy Palace to practice, their family's status in Yuzhou would also rise, and the strength of the family would also increase greatly.
This practice is considered a kind of gambling. Use the heritage of the entire family to gamble on this opportunity to transform the family.
Mo Ye sat in the stands and watched the game, but it was very relaxed, because he didn't have to worry about Jin Hao and Kelvin losing.
He believed that the strength of Jin Hao and Kelvin would not disappoint him, and the three of them would definitely be able to enter the Wentian Academy Palace to cultivate.
Soon, under the announcement of the Spiritual Liquid Realm monk yesterday, the third round of the competition officially began.
One by one, the numbers were read out by the Spiritual Liquid Realm monk.
The monks, who had been read the numbers, stepped into the ring one after another and began to compete with their opponents for a place in the final round.
At this stage, the fight has become a lot more intense. After all, the first two rounds of the competition have eliminated many monks who are not strong. The monks who were able to enter the third round of the competition were basically not simple people. During the competition, there were a lot more cases of equal strength between the two sides.
These monks, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, tried their best to defeat their opponents. Once they defeated the opponent in front of them, they would be only one step away from asking the Heavenly Academy Palace.
The referees in the ring also started to get busy.
Both sides of the contest began to fight desperately, using all their might, and if they did not intervene in time to protect the defeated monks, those monks would likely fall and die under the strong attack of their opponents.
The victorious monk had a look of joy on his face. The failed monk had a look of loss on his face.
Those failed monks have already lost their qualifications for the next competition, and can only regret to quit.
Soon, Jin Hao's number was read, and when he stepped into the ring, he found that his opponent was still a monk from the Spiritual Realm.
After this Enlightening Realm monk saw that his opponent was Jin Hao, he recalled the scene of his battle with the gray-clothed young man yesterday, and his eyes became extremely solemn, as if he was facing a great enemy.
"Let's go!" Jin Hao strode forward at the referee's announcement in the ring, rushing towards the monk.
The icy aura instantly spread outwards and permeated the entire ring.
Under the influence of Jin Hao's icy power, the figure of the Spirit Realm cultivator became sluggish.
But the next moment, several sigils appeared in the monk's hand. He slapped these talismans on his body, and his body was immediately wrapped in a faint red light curtain.
Under the protection of this layer of red light curtain, the impact of Jin Hao's icy power on him was also reduced to a minimum.
"Fortunately, I was fully prepared last night and purchased these fire spirit talismans!" After dissolving the influence of the icy power, his face suddenly relaxed.
Jin Hao's face did not show surprise. The other party's response measures have long been expected by him.
When he showed his strength yesterday, he knew that his next opponent would target his icy power.
However, are those people so naïve to think that his icy power is very easy to solve?
Jin Hao's heart moved, and the cold power released outward suddenly increased.
The increase in the power of the cold made the Spirit Realm cultivator's actions slower again.
The monk's face changed drastically, he never thought that the cold power released by Jin Hao would be strengthened again.
Although he had prepared some fire spirit runes in advance to deal with Jin Hao's cold power, now that Jin Hao's cold power had been strengthened, those fire spirit runes he had prepared would not be of much use.
The monk hurriedly ran the exercises, blocking the cold power that filled the air around him, preventing it from invading his body.
But such a move is the next policy after all. As time passed, his exercises could not completely stop this ubiquitous icy power. After a certain amount of time, those cold forces will still successfully invade his body.
"The battle must be resolved as soon as possible!" A long sword appeared in the monk's hand, and with a swing, sword qi burst out outward, rushing towards Jinhao.
Jin Hao took out the spear and gently sent it forward. A cold light instantly condensed and formed, and then rushed towards those sword qi.
The cold light that Jin Hao shot out collided with those sword qi, and immediately stirred the nearby heaven and earth aura.
The referee in the ring also became solemn, ready to take control of the scene at any time.
"Slash!" the monk shouted, and the long sword in his hand burst into a dazzling light.
The next moment, an extremely bright sword light slashed out in an instant, quickly approaching Jinhao.
"Frost, Protection!" Jin Hao said lightly, and the cold power around him quickly surged, converging in front of him, condensing into an ice shield.
The sword struck the surface of the ice shield, stirring up countless tiny frosts. However, with the convergence of the surrounding icy power, the ice shield that had been damaged by the sword was quickly repaired as before.
Under such consumption, the power of the sword was finally exhausted, and the ice shield condensed by Jin Hao had not been broken.
"My move isn't powerful enough to break his ice shield in an instant!" thought to the monk, who was already a little difficult to ride a tiger in this situation.
"What should I do?"
The cold power scattered around Jinhao can protect it in all directions. This kind of unbelievable move really made him unable to find any solution.
However, if you want him to shout out to admit defeat, his heart is very unwilling.
"I can only fight for it!" the monk flashed a fierce look in his eyes, and he instantly increased his speed and rushed towards Jinhao.
"Frost, slow!" Jin Hao struck a spell, and all the cold power around him converged towards the place where the monk was.
Under the influence of such a huge amount of cold power, the monk's movement speed also dropped to an extremely low level.
His cultivation was completely unleashed, and his exercises ran wildly, trying to break free from the shackles of the icy power around him.
However, how could Jin Hao's icy power be dealt with so easily by him?
Jin Hao increased the output of spiritual power, and more and more cold power was released, all rushing towards that monk.
There was a hint of despair in the monk's eyes, and he was finally frozen into an ice sculpture by Jin Hao's icy power.
Seeing that the monk was no longer able to move, the referee in the ring immediately declared Jin Hao victorious.
Seeing this, Jin Hao immediately melted away the frost that sealed the monk.
After resuming his actions, the monk took a deep look at Jin Hao, said nothing more, and then walked out of the ring.
Jin Hao successfully won the victory and advanced to the final competition.
Soon after, Kelvin's number was also called.
"It's finally my turn!" Kelvin said, stepping into the ring.
His opponent is a girl in white. The aura that emanated also reached the realm of enlightenment.
"Haha, not bad, not bad!" Looking at the girl in white, Kelvin's eyes suddenly lit up.
The girl in white looked at Kelvin indifferently, and her eyes did not fluctuate for a minute.
However, when the referee shouted "start", her figure instantly became illusory.
Her true body emerged behind Kelvin, and the long sword in her hand emitted a faint cold light.
At the moment when the girl drew her sword, Kelvin had already summoned the soldiers out and blocked the girl's mortal blow.
Looking at the behemoth that suddenly appeared in front of her, the girl's eyes finally changed a little.
In the stands, many monks were attracted by the soldiers summoned by Kelvin and began to talk to each other.
"Is that thing a puppet?"
"No, it's made up of heaven and earth aura, it shouldn't be a puppet!"
High in the sky, the five Spirit Liquid Realm cultivators who had been observing the overall situation flashed a trace of surprise on their faces.
"That thing looks like a soldier!"
"It is said to be an ancient formation path technique, and there are also many formation path cultivators in the academy who are conducting research in this area. ”
"It seems that he has obtained some inheritance of the Ancient Formation Dao!"
At this time, the soldiers summoned by Kelvin had already fought with the girl.
"The flexibility of the formation soldiers has improved a lot compared to before!" Watching the fight in the ring, Mo Ye came to this conclusion.
During the retreat, Kelvin made further improvements to the Pawn, making it more flexible without altering its original characteristics.
In this way, the scope of application of the formation is also broader.
With the protection of the soldiers, Kelvin has always been in a safe position and has not been attacked by the girl.
Kelvin took out a blank array and began to carve it on the spot.
"He's setting up a formation!" the monks in the stands were shocked.
I didn't expect Kelvin to be a formation mage!
In the ring, the girl was also slightly surprised. She knows what the formation mage is capable of, so now, she must break through the defenses of the formation and get close to Kelvin to stop him from completing the formation.
Otherwise, she will be in great danger.
The girl increased the output of spiritual power, and every sword she slashed on the body of the soldier carried a strong spiritual power fluctuation.
With the blessing of spiritual power, her slashing power became extremely powerful. The body of the soldier was constantly shocked back by her.
However, with each retreat, the soldiers were able to immediately return and engage her again. At the same time, its somewhat broken body also recovered after the influx of the surrounding heaven and earth aura.
"You can't keep dragging it on!" the girl's eyes were fixed on the soldier's chest.
In that place, a piece of array disk was emitting a faint white light.
"That array disk should be the core of this thing!" the girl thought, and the spiritual power in the spiritual sea began to mobilize, converging into the long sword in her hand.
"Swift Wind Slash!" the girl let out a soft snort, and the long sword suddenly burst out with cyan light.
The next moment, a pale cyan sword light rushed out, pointing straight at the core of the formation.
Once the core of the formation is defeated, the formation will also dissipate immediately. At that time, Kelvin, who has lost the protection of the soldiers, will face great danger.
Kelvin also understood this and immediately accelerated the arrangement of the formation.
"Let's see if you're fast, or if I'm faster!" Kelvin's mind began to rac. Spiritual patterns emerged in his mind and quickly combined together.
That's the formation he wants to lay out.
In the array, the spirit patterns were carved by Kelvin according to the array diagram in his mind. At this current rate, it won't be long before Kelvin's formation can be smoothly laid out.
At this time, the girl's sword light had also reached the chest of the soldiers.
The sharp sword light tore at the body of the soldier and began to penetrate deep into its body, gradually approaching its core.
After a while, the sword light smoothly came to the front of the array. However, the moment the sword light touched the array disk, a faint layer of golden light appeared on the surface of the array disk, blocking the sword light.
The girl's eyebrows frowned slightly, in this case, it would take her more time to destroy the formation.
Without hesitation, the girl increased the output of spiritual power, and another sword light slashed out, submerged into the body of the formation, and merged with the previous sword light.
The combined sword light increased its power greatly, and in an instant, it tore out a crack in the layer of golden light that protected the array disk.
The next moment, the sword light hit the array disk, and the powerful power directly shattered the array disk.
After the array disc turned into countless fragments, the movement of the array soldiers immediately stopped, and its form began to become illusory. The aura of heaven and earth that had condensed into its body began to gradually disperse and return to the heavens and the earth.
Defeating the formation, the girl immediately rushed towards Kelvin.
"It's over!" the girl said lightly, her sword pointed at Kelvin's throat.
But suddenly, a smile appeared on Kelvin's face, and the array disk in his hand began to emit a faint golden light.
"It's too early to say it's over!"
