Chapter 18: The Battle of the Champions
As soon as the voice came out, everyone was stunned by the voice, and the elders and pavilion masters sitting above the final battle platform all craned their necks to look at the source of the sound. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Seeing a disciple wearing a disciple's robe, bypassing the surprised crowd and walking onto the decisive stage, Jue Lie was stunned, he didn't expect that the challenger was not a seventh-degree spirit disciple, and even a sixth-degree spirit disciple was actually a fifth-degree spirit disciple.
The audience was even more in an uproar, and they all sneered at Merlin.
"Is this buddy going up to look for a fight?" said a disciple of the Sixth Degree disdainfully.
"I think he's either crazy or his bones are cheap. A seventh-degree spirit disciple said angrily.
"Damn, this is the first guy ever to challenge the seventh-degree spirit disciple champion. ”
"Oh my God, is what I'm seeing real?"
"I'm betting ten spirit coins to bet on this kid's fiasco. ”
"Damn, didn't this kid slap us seventh-degree spirit disciples in the face?"
"So that's what you're really for?" the snapper in the crowd looked at the corner of Merlin's mouth with a hint of sarcasm and anger, "What an arrogant guy, he will definitely be beaten into a dog." ”
"What kind of medicine is sold in this kid's gourd, although I hate Jue Lie, but I still have to say that Jue Lie can easily beat this kid down. The feminine man, who had just been defeated by Jueyeol, waved his folding fan and shook his head.
..................
In the face of the cynicism of the disciples in the audience, Merlin held the spirit sword in his hand and didn't care.
The white-haired elder glanced at Merlin and turned to Jueyeol and said calmly, "May I ask Jueyeol if you agree to accept the challenge, if you don't accept, the championship will no longer belong to you, and he will only have the opportunity to challenge the next champion until the next one." ”
"Of course, I accepted his challenge. When Jueyeol said this, he always felt that he was being challenged by a fifth-degree spirit disciple, which was simply insulting to him, and he was also the first seventh-degree spirit disciple champion ever to be challenged by a fifth-degree spirit disciple.
"Okay, since Jueyeol accepts the challenge, then please restore your strength on the spot first. ”
At the same time, above the decisive table.
"Pavilion Master, I checked just now, the person recommended by Elder Mo Wuzi, who managed the outer gate a few days ago, is him, I was going to pay attention to this child in a few days, but I didn't expect to see it like this today. A white-haired elder with a full beard came to the pavilion master's side and said with a smile on his face.
"Well, but this son is really a little too arrogant, I'm afraid that after losing, it will hit his cultivation heart, and if he collapses from now on, it will be troublesome. The Pavilion Master nodded.
The other elders present agreed with the pavilion master's words, and they all shook their heads and said that Merlin was too arrogant and brought humiliation on himself.
But the truth is only known to Merlin's confidant, who knows in his heart that with his current strength, he is enough to challenge the level.
"How long do you have to recover, half an hour?" Merlin said as he looked at Jueyeol, he really wanted to start now, because he had already taken a sip of the Spirit Liquid.
And now that the Ichor was rapidly increasing his strength in his body, he didn't know when the Ichira's effects would be worn off.
Although the aura fluctuations on his body were still the appearance of a fifth-degree spirit disciple, Merlin himself clearly felt that the energy of his whole body was rapidly improving, his hearing, his perception, and his divine sense were all rapidly improving.
"The jade tablet said that after drinking the spirit liquid, the strength will quickly increase to a few degrees, but the aura fluctuation will not change, which just coincides with my current situation, in this way, I don't have to worry about the suspicions of the elders of the inner gate. Merlin looked at Jueyeol and said silently in his heart.
"Hmph, there's no need to recover, I've now recovered eighty percent of my aura, if I recover to my full strength in order to deal with a fifth-degree spirit disciple, wouldn't I be laughed at by everyone. ”
Jue Lie said, a pitch-black large knife appeared in his hand, turned around and bowed to the white-haired elder, "Elder, I beg to start now. ”
"Alright," the white-haired elder said, turning around, glancing at Merlin, and then announcing to the disciples in the audience, "I announce that the championship battle is now open. ”
As he spoke, the white-haired elder quickly left the arena and walked back to his position on the high platform.
"Boy, I can destroy you in one move. Jueyeol dragged the broadsword towards Merlin, and the broadsword slashed out bursts of sparks on the ground, making it look particularly striking at night.
"Hmph! Don't talk nonsense, the purpose is the most important thing. A black long sword instantly appeared in Merlin's hand, which he held tightly in his hand.
"Well, that's a good point," Kyaw Yeol shouted, and he instantly pounced on Merlin like a cheetah.
"Good coming, my sword is already hungry and thirsty. Everyone thought that Merlin would back down, but they found that Merlin had killed Jueyeol at the same speed.
A few moments later, both sides jumped into the air almost simultaneously, and Jueyeol's broadsword and Merlin's long sword instantly slashed together, causing a large number of sparks at once, and the huge shock wave blew the hair and clothes of both sides rustling.
Just listened to the swish, Merlin and Juelie fell to the ground one after another, Merlin held the big knife and stared at Juelie tightly, he forcibly held back the blood that was shocked and tumbled all over his body, and said in his heart: "Grandma's, the seventh-degree spirit disciple is really powerful." ”
And what Merlin didn't know was that Juelie was also shocked at this moment, he couldn't believe that Merlin, a genuine fifth-degree spirit disciple who was clearly fluctuating in the fifth degree spirit disciple, could directly fight with him without any major problems.
But what surprised Juelie the most was that the disciples under the stage of the decisive battle and the elders and pavilion masters above the stage of the decisive battle, the fierce discussion between the disciples under the stage was almost fried, although the elders on the stage were calm, but they were also very excited.
"Yes, it seems that I underestimated you, and then I will use all my strength to deal with you. Jueyeol said as he picked up his broadsword and rushed towards Merlin again, "I want you to know what a real fight is. ”
"Hmph, didn't you just strike with all your might?" Merlin sneered inwardly, and he also rushed towards Jueyeol without showing weakness, "It doesn't matter what a real battle is, but I'll show you what a real defeat is tonight. ”
In a few snaps of a finger, Merlin and Juelie fought together again, and in an instant, the sword light and sword shadow, the cracking and piercing sound of metal colliding, and the bright sparks that burst out between the sword and the knife, seemed to be writing the thousand-year-old hatred of the two kings of weapons, the sword and the sword.
That's it, I don't know how long it took, the heavy snow didn't know when it stopped, and Merlin and Juelie on the decisive stage were still fighting, but everyone watching the fight had clearly felt that both sides were tired.
"Oh my God, it's been half an hour, Merlin's kid is too tough, although it seems that he is dying, but Jue Lie is not much better than Merlin's situation, but according to the current situation, I'm afraid Jue Lie will win. ”
The audience in the final battle audience predicted that Jue Lie would win the final victory, and they didn't want to lose all the spirit coins they had bet on Jue Lie.
But just when everyone was complacent, suddenly Juelie was put on the chest by Merlin's sword, and Jueyeol's big knife was blocked by Merlin's side, as long as Merlin wanted to, he could kill Jueyeol in an instant.
"You lost. Merlin looked at Jueyeol and said lightly.
"I, I lost. Jueyeol's hand holding the broadsword suddenly trembled, and the black broadsword fell to the ground with a snap.
Everyone in the entire Dou Fa knew that Jue Lie had lost, but when Jue Lie himself said, 'I lost', the disciples were boiling, and some people cheered, cheering that they finally had someone break the pattern of disciples below the seventh degree who did not dare to challenge the overall championship for the first time in history.
But more of the disciples were indeed full of sadness, because they were all betting on Juelie to win, and most of them suffered heavy losses.
"It's really good, since the beginning of my Falling Moon Pavilion, I have never encountered such a demonic qualification, which is the blessing of my Falling Moon Pavilion. The Pavilion Master stood up from his seat, and his pleasure was palpable.
"Yes, Pavilion Master, this son is the first disciple in the history of my Falling Moon Pavilion to defeat the Seventh Degree Spirit Disciple Champion with a Fifth Degree Spirit Disciple, the first person to challenge the Seventh Degree Spirit Disciple twice, even our Sixth Moon Pavilion Master does not have such good qualifications as him. A white-haired elder beside the pavilion master said excitedly.
The elders all knew that the sixth generation of the Pavilion Master of the Falling Moon Pavilion was the first disciple in the history of the Falling Moon Pavilion to leapfrog the challenge to enter the inner gate, but he was indeed a sixth-degree spirit disciple, and Merlin was a fifth-degree spirit disciple, and the two were clear at a glance.
All the elders also praised Merlin one after another, and the pavilion master nodded to the white-haired elder who presided over the meeting, and the white-haired elder also nodded to the pavilion master, and then he turned around and announced, "Next, please ask the pavilion master to personally present the award to the overall champion of this year." ”
So the pavilion master stepped on a golden tray amid the cheers of all the disciples in the audience, and then the tray carried the pavilion master to float in front of Merlin out of thin air, and at this moment, Juelie had already stepped off the decisive platform.
"Disciple, see Pavilion Master. Merlin bowed his head and knelt down on one knee towards the Pavilion Master.
"Yes, please. The Pavilion Master nodded with a smile, then turned to the hundreds of outer disciples under the decisive stage and announced:
"The Pavilion Master announced that this year's champion is the one next to me, the fifth-degree spirit disciple Merlin, and will be rewarded with a treasure-level low-grade spirit weapon. ”
