Chapter Eighty-Three: Wonderful Preliminaries

The 16 stages began to face off at the same time, and five people, including Hai Shaowei and Rose, went around the arena looking for exciting games to watch. Originally, there were 5 people who had been cultivated in the late stage of the Xuan level, and they had some complaints about the master's refusal to let them participate, especially Rose and Xinghui were also leaders in their respective countries, and they had been very depressed and didn't dare to say more.

After a morning of watching the battle, the five people finally wilted like frosted eggplants. Although the Xuan Rank is the most advanced level on the stage, everyone has their own unique skills, all of which are pure skills, novel techniques, and rich fighting experience. After all, the time for the 5 people to practice ancient martial arts is too short, and although their skills and techniques are all top-notch, their proficiency and ability to adapt to changes in battle awareness have yet to be tempered, not to mention that most of the players who can be active on the stage and emerge are players with ground-level strength.

Only then did Ross and Xinghui truly understand the true meaning of what Gabriel said on Abbot Island that "Middle-earth is a forbidden place for the gods". What they learned in their family was indeed inferior to the vastness and vastness of the ancient martial arts of Zhongzhou.

This is still a preliminaries, of course, it doesn't mean that there are no classic battles of strong and strong matches, after all, everyone in the preliminaries didn't come up with the effort to press the bottom of the box. The players of the Bright Moon League were previously warned by the Sect Elder that they should not leave their hands behind when facing off against the players of the Chang Ting League, and should go all out, try to avoid the situation of internal forces colliding with each other, and repeatedly emphasized maintaining the state of solid qi and fixed yuan.

Luo Yingfei of the Qingcheng faction was a little unimpressed by Shizun's admonition, as the first place of the young generation of the Qingcheng faction, his goal was to be in the top 10, and his opponent was all the geniuses, not just Chang Tingmeng. He won both games in a row and beat the Moyanmen opponent to finish in the top 16 of the group first. The top 16 winners and the four players selected by the judges from the losers were in the top 20, so a win would be the first step in his goal.

Yi Long, a disciple of the Demon Rock Sect, was nearly 2 meters tall, and his muscles were strong, as if he was about to break through the sportswear he was wearing. The opponent is not weak, he has the early cultivation of the ground level, and he resists hard with the body protection demon rock skill. Luo Yingfei's rainstorm fell on the opponent's hard and stone-like body, and the opponent had no other reaction except for shaking a few times, as if there was no pain. However, Luo Yingfei's palms were a little numb from the shock, which made him helpless in the middle of the stage. After a long time, he found that when his iron palm full of internal force hit the other party, there was always a feeling that part of the internal force was sucked away.

Only then did he understand why the master had repeatedly warned him to maintain a state of solidity and stability. With the use of the division's Yuan Protector Skill, because his skill was already one level higher than the opponent's, this defense, the players of the Demon Rock Gate could no longer absorb his internal strength. But it was obviously too late, the other party had already accumulated enough strength, and the sudden thunderous blow was not something that Luo Yingfei could resist at all. Fortunately, he was already prepared, but he was knocked off the stage with a slap and was not injured. After a burst of qi and blood, he recovered, and was knocked out of the ring, he had already lost this game, and Luo Yingfei felt a burst of chagrin in his heart. If he doesn't get the right choice, he will have to challenge it again, which is a blow to him who is arrogant.

Bai Chiren was also a little depressed in his heart, in just over three years, he had soared from the Xuan Rank to the middle of the Ground Rank. With the core techniques of the Changting Sect, compared with the general late stage of the ground level, it can also be entangled with one or two. Even the master praised him as a genius of ancient martial arts, and he was confident that when he met the Northern Mingxuan who made him lose face again, he would not be so careless and captured, right? But his father Bai Zhaoxing told him on the way here that the Northern Mingxuan was already at the heavenly level, so don't provoke him. This frustration and anger are vented on the opponent's body, the first few rounds are a few tricks, the fastest is the last round of the southeast province Fuxianmen player, the opponent was kicked off the stage before the opponent's frame was set.

The third opponent was Yu Fanghua, a closed disciple of an ancient martial arts hermit who lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain, and he was also at the beginning of the ground level. Of course, Bai Chiren didn't look at the other party in his eyes, after exchanging names, as soon as the referee's words fell, he pounced, and a round of wind legs with mellow skills blew up like a violent wind, and the legs of the whole court attacked Yu Fanghua. Yu Fanghua closed the door as if sealed, or dodged or hard-connected, or dissolved by homeopathy, and coped with it very calmly.

Bai Zhaoxing cared about his son and kept watching his game, and when he saw his son so upset, he couldn't help but shake his head. As a second-generation disciple, he surpassed the first master and uncle to step into the heavenly level, relying not on the identity of the chief disciple of Ying Daopu, but on his extraordinary insight and genius in cultivation and hard work. But he is a little helpless about this son, he has a high talent, but his will is too weak and unstable, and the meaning of the master is to let him hone himself in the big competition before he can become a great weapon. It seems that this kid has not grown much at all, but he is looking forward to two masters to frustrate his son's spirit.

Bai Chiren, who was almost at a loss by Yu Fanghua's defensive and offensive style on the stage, finally settled down and started fighting steadily. Relying on his deep skills, he reversed the situation with the stacked mountain palms that made a big splash at the regular court meeting. Yu Fanghua obviously still has the strength to spare, and uses the strength of Tai Chi to resolve the opponent's stacked mountain strength, although he is at a disadvantage and does not show defeat, the occasional appearance also makes Bai Chiren think a lot.

Bai Chiren had no intention of fighting any longer, his palms forced Yu Fanghua away, his palms were facing each other inward, and he flicked two fingers in his right hand, and a force of finger force shot straight towards Yu Fanghua, and he finally couldn't help but use the poisonous dragon finger that he was not going to use in the preliminaries. Yu Fanghua waved his sleeves and wanted to disperse the opponent's finger power, but obviously underestimated the power of the poisonous dragon finger. The finger strength penetrated the sleeve wind and hit Yu Fanghua's shoulder, who couldn't dodge. Yu Fanghua staggered back a few steps, this force was vicious and vicious, penetrating through the tendons, Yu Fanghua even used the master's Xuangong, and could not quickly resolve the finger force. Seeing that Bai Chiren's fingering did not stop, he hurriedly raised his hand to admit defeat.

The triumphant Bai Chiren was scolded by Bai Zhaoxing and was bloody: "Rebel, I have repeatedly warned you not to expose the bottom line until you have to." In this battle just now, your skills are far superior, and you will naturally win if you continue to fight, why do you want to use the poisonous dragon finger? What a fool. ”

Bai Chiren was a little unconvinced, didn't it take much effort to fight? Wouldn't you be able to rest more if you won quickly? But he only dared to say a few words in his heart, and his father was accumulating power day by day, and he didn't dare to be a little dissatisfied. After Yu Fanghua stepped down, he asked the master for advice, and benefited a lot, so he turned his finger power away and waited for the challenge to win the quota again.

Huang Yuebo, the chief player of the Tianshan faction, was the opponent in the third game, Wu Xiaoshan, who was shy and rustic. He didn't watch Wu Xiaoshan's first two games, and judging from the opponent's indifferent demeanor that was low and pleasing to the eye, he was not nervous and frightened, and knew that this was a strong opponent. Huang Yuebo's peak cultivation at the beginning of the ground level, as soon as he came up, he was the Sumeru Mountain Palm that combined attack and defense. The two sides come and go, Huang Yuebo feels that the other party's body looks thin, but this set of tiger-shaped boxing moves is fierce and powerful, and the wind uses the fist to help the wind, and there is a faint sound of tiger roar in the fist wind.

After dozens of combinations, Wu Xiaoshan jumped forward and hit his right fist directly, and shouted in his mouth: "Open."

Huang Yuebo crossed his arms and blocked, and this powerful impact force knocked him straight out. Huang Yuebo hurriedly made the jack fall off the table, and the remaining strength was not lost and staggered back, and when he stabilized his body, he was already on the edge of the stage, and half of his feet were empty. Wu Xiaoshan did not take advantage of the momentum to pursue, and Huang Yuebo knew that the opponent's subordinates were merciful, so he had to clench his fists and admit defeat.

The excitement on the field continues, the layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway. Ninety percent of the people present here are ancient martial arts elites and celebrities, and they naturally judge their heads and feet, and they have great fists and feet for dishes, comment on wine, guide the children of the sect, and teach the new style of the younger generations. Bei Mingxuan sat in the VIP seat, and several VIPs were divided into three groups to communicate cordially, Ying Daopu and Director Yue were old acquaintances, Guan Shanyue and Bei Mingxuan were old friends, and Bei Mingzhen and Deputy Director Jiang Daodao of the National Security Bureau had intersected for many years. The three ancient martial arts masters explained to several guests the wonderful competitions on the stage.

Guan Shanyue deliberately paid attention to the competition of the six disciples of the Northern Underworld, but unfortunately he didn't encounter a strong opponent, and the victory was relatively easy. In addition to the aforementioned competitions, such as Jiang Yingyue, a disciple of the Snow Mountain Sect, and Huang Shang, a disciple of Zizhuan, the two female disciples performed very well. Jiang Yingyue's set of snow folding plum hands is as elegant as a fairy, the white-clothed Shengxue walks like a crane, and the slender hands fold the plum to beat a child of the Nangong family without the power to fight back. Huang Shang is the proud master of Zizhu'an, he is twenty years old, and he also has the early skills of the ground, and the command of the Jiaye flower is full of rhythm like a dance, and there may be Sanskrit sound between his fingers. Tantra's disciple Dharma was fascinated by the Sanskrit sound, and was annoyed when he was ordered off the stage before he could play his level.

Some little-known young people such as Yu Fanghua and Wu Xiaoshan, not only them, but also their division commander Zhongnan Hermit and Wulinyuan's martial father also have no reputation in the ancient martial arts world, but they show a very deep heritage. There is a dragon and a crouching tiger hidden in the grass, and I don't know how many indifferent and indisputable masters are hidden in the world. The Yulin Daoist of Sanqingguan did not go out this time, and her disciples did not know whether to participate or not.

After lunch, most of the teams entered the first round of the challenge, which provided a chance for players who were unlucky to meet the masters, and many of the early stage masters were brushed down by stronger opponents, so they naturally held their breath to find their way back. The battle for 20 places in each group is more intense, and it is even hotter than the knockout round at the beginning. The twenty people on the stage must keep their positions, and the people who have been brushed off the stage must seize the last chance. Of course, persimmons pick soft pinching, and the most challenged in each group are the 4 alternate players, and the players whose skills are below the ground level are also taken care of.

Teams of 20 were constantly being replaced, and it wasn't until around 9 p.m. that the preliminaries for the 16 groups were over. The 320 semi-finalists were released, among which the Mingyue Alliance's blocking plan was implemented smoothly, and the other five players such as the Xuanyuan family all advanced, and the 10 players from the Dongcheng family and the Lingshan faction also advanced. Several opponents were too strong, and the masters who lost in the third round, such as Yi Long of the Demon Rock Gate, Yu Fanghua of Zhongnan Mountain, Huang Yuebo of the Tianshan Sect, and Dharma of Tantra, all defeated their opponents and re-ranked in the top 20.

Eleven of the fifteen players from the three major sects in the three border provinces advanced, after all, for example, the witch doctor sect in Southern Xinjiang Province used the secret of poisoning Gu, and the restrictions in the big competition were too great to perform at the level they should have. Ying Daopu, who had been talking happily with Director Yue, was very dissatisfied when he saw this result, and Director Yue was silent when he saw that he was not interested in talking.

A day of competition, both the players and the spectators are very hard, wash up and rest. The second day of the tournament continued, with the 320 players who made it to the semi-finals redrawn for a second round of knockout rounds to determine the top 20. Only those who beat the second round will be eligible for the second round of the challenge. After the selection after the preliminaries, the waves are sweeping, and the semi-finals are less than 20% of all the players, which can be called the real elite, and every game is very exciting and worth watching.

Among the 320 people, there were only 106 ground-level players, and many ground-level players encountered particularly outstanding players in the preliminaries, and their skills were restrained and defeated. For example, Zhang Hezhen of the Five Bird Gate, the early stage of the ground level, was trapped by Zhang Yihao's crazy wand method in the third round of the preliminaries and quickly lost. During the challenge, he picked a disciple of the Golden Light Gate in the late stage of the Xuan Rank, and was blinded by Jin Guangyao, and was knocked off the stage by this disciple of the Golden Light Gate with skillful breaking force.

Another example is Chen Xintong of the Yunnan Nanchen family of the Changting League, the early stage of the ground level, was swept off the stage by a round of shadowless legs of the Northern Stygian Wind, and there was no chance of a mobile phone. When you challenge, you shouldn't be, you shouldn't be, you see Wu Xiaoshan cowering and cowering, I think it's easy to bully, I don't want to be broken by Wu Xiaoshan's tiger fist, and under the hard bump, I was shocked and defeated.

These dozen or so disciples with bad luck must have been kneeling on the nail board with a stone lock when they went back, and they were happy to copy books on the wall. It's no wonder that the division commander is angry, the strength of the dignified ground level is already unparalleled in the ancient martial arts world, there are such achievements before the age of 30, which one is not a genius who is not built by the clan with all his might? As a result, the rookie competition can't even enter the top 320, if this is said before the regular court meeting, who can believe it.

In the three years after the Standing Court Meeting, Gu Wu entered a fast lane of leapfrog development because of the Changting faction and the Shushan faction, or more directly, because of the Ying Daopu and Beiyingxuan. Each clan is either inspired and guided by the new concept, or uses the resources of the family to press the bottom of the box, cultivating newcomers and improving their overall strength. As a result, a group of famous teachers and hermits were driven to send their disciples down the mountain for training, and they were improved in the process of continuous exchanges and exchanges.

It can be said that the new exercises of the Changting Sect are now known to be the Dafa of Demonic Skill Absorbing Yuan, and they have quickly formed a batch through intensive cultivation; the Northern Profound Xuan has systematically taught them according to their aptitude, and has achieved a batch of them with a large number of cultivation resources and pills; and the various clans have concentrated their efforts on cultivating a batch. Only then did we have the brilliant achievements of today's rookie competition.

In order not to affect the spectators, the semi-finals will be held at a pace of events, with each player having only two matches per day, so that everyone can fully adjust their situation to meet the competition in the best condition.

Bei Minghong passed all the way and did not meet his opponent, he was the first to follow Bei Mingxuan, and his relationship with this uncle was very deep. Under the careful training of Bei Mingxuan, he now has mid-level skills, and his actual combat ability and techniques are all first-class. He even began to practice Bei Mingxuan's favorite "Smoke Lock Pond Willow" swordsmanship, he changed the sword technique to fingering, which happened to be used in the big competition, and Bei Mingxuan praised it and gave very systematic advice.

His first-round opponent was Luo Jianchen of the Sword Intent Gate of the Chang Ting League, and he actually had the mid-level skills, it seemed that the Sword Intent Gate had invested a lot of money. As soon as the two of them handed over, Bei Yinghong felt that Luo Jianchen's skills were not pure, and his control of internal force was not mature enough, or it was related to the fact that the wooden sword provided by the Dabi Organizing Committee could not play its role. Bei Yinghong responded by a guerrilla fight, and during a surprise attack, he slapped Luo Jianchen in the back of the heart, and Luo Jianchen was knocked out of the air. When the other party staggered a few steps and turned around to meet the enemy, Bei Minghong clearly felt that the internal force that hit Luo Jianchen's body was quickly absorbed by him, so Luo Jianchen's face turned white and then red, and then his spirit rose sharply.

The pre-match advice of the Northern Darkness Xuan rang in the ears of the Northern Darkness Hong: In the duel with the players of the Chang Ting Alliance, if there is a situation where the opponent will resolve the internal force for use, it is necessary to use the law of the Solid Qi Determination Yuan in the Northern Darkness Xuangong, and use the method of short contact to attack with yin force. Next, Bei Yinghong used a round of "smoke willow" fingering to block several acupoints of Luo Jianchen with his strength, making his power run poorly. After that, he was kicked off the stage by several shadowless legs in the lower three lanes, and this first-class master in the middle of the ground level was directly eliminated by the Northern Underworld.
