Chapter 36: When the Contest Goes Through (I)
"Wow! The rewards are so rich, if only I could make it to the top sixteen!"
"At your level, the top 500 are dangerous, hahaha!"
"Fuck off, can't I fantasize about it? You have to have a dream to be a man, otherwise what's the difference between it and salted fish!"
The reward announced by the Sanyuan Elder caused an uproar among the outer disciples, although many people wanted to get the reward, but most of them knew their strength, but those who came to play soy sauce did not have too many expectations.
After announcing the reward, Elder Sanyuan said again: "Now I announce that the Nanling Sword Sect Outer Sect Disciple Contest has officially begun, now it is up to all the disciples to draw their numbers from the boxes in front of them, and then our twenty referee deacons will announce the battle number that has been formulated for a long time, and those who read the number will compete on the corresponding platform!"
The battle number is formulated in advance, but the numbers drawn by the disciples are random, so as to avoid the possibility of black-box operation, so that the disciples feel more fair, of course, the significance of this competition is to test the cultivation results of the disciples, for many disciples the results of the competition is not important.
As soon as Elder Sanyuan's order was issued, more than a thousand disciples divided into five columns and drew their numbers in an orderly and fast manner.
Lu Hao also drew his own number, which was 738.
Afterwards, the twenty referees and deacons each walked up to the twenty arenas and announced loudly one by one.
"Stage 1, No. 9 vs. No. 111!"
"No. 2, No. 13 vs. No. 635!"
"No. 3, No. 28 vs. No. 981!"
......
All the battle numbers are random, completely avoiding the dark incense operation.
Soon, the battle lineup of the twenty competition platforms came out, and then the forty outer disciples all jumped onto their own competition platforms.
As soon as they came on stage, the disciples in the audience cheered and cheered, adding to the lively atmosphere of the competition.
But on the stage, some disciples showed bitterness on their faces, and some disciples were happy on their faces, the randomness of the game will also produce a gap in the strength of the battle, the gap between the cultivation of the outer disciples of the Nanling Sword Sect is still relatively large, and the general entry to the True Qi Realm is relatively small, the True Qi Realm is the most small, the True Qi Realm is also more complete, and the True Qi Realm is also less complete, basically the top and the worst are relatively few, and there are more in the middle.
If you are lucky and meet someone who is worse than your own cultivation, then you will naturally have a better chance of winning.
As soon as the referee shouted to start, the battle began on the twenty competition platforms, whether they were poor or high, they all fought hard, aiming to show their progress in the past year.
The battles were long and short, some lasted a few moves and ended, and some were of equal strength, and the fight was very fierce and in full swing.
At the end of a fight, the referee on the No. 1 stage immediately announced the next pair of battle combinations, so the battle was up and down, the rhythm was very fast, and the audience was dizzying.
Of course, some battles are very boring, the cultivation is too bad and ends too quickly, and the best ones are those with equal strength, and the battles where each of them uses their best skills are the best, and generally there are the most onlookers on the fighting platform.
The games are going on one after another, but it is not Lu Hao's turn yet, a total of 1,000 people, even if they are divided into 20 competition platforms, each competition platform will have to be the turn of 25 competitions.
Lu Hao also looked at the competition platform one by one, and when he encountered a wonderful competition, he would stop and watch, patiently watch the advantages and disadvantages of the two fights, and then bring in himself, if it was himself, how would he face the enemy, in his opinion, watching the battle is also an opportunity to learn and improve swordsmanship, so he will not let go of every opportunity.
Soon, the third batch of disciples had already gone up one after another, and at this time, Lu Hao saw that there was a person he knew on the No. 9 platform.
This person is Liang Bo, who he once met when he first joined the outer disciples, and later led him during the first outer disciple mission, which can be regarded as a friend of his.
The current Liang Bo is already at the peak of the True Qi Realm, although he is not as good as Lu Hao, but his cultivation speed is not slow.
It's just that his luck is not good, his opponent is a disciple of the True Qi Realm Dacheng, named Gao Yuan.
"Hehe, Senior Brother Liang, your cultivation is weaker than mine, not my opponent, it's better to admit defeat obediently. The tall Gao Yuan smiled at Liang Bo.
"Senior Brother Gao, although my cultivation is weaker than yours, it doesn't mean that I can't beat you, let's see the real chapter under my hands. Liang Bo stood up and said.
"Okay, then let me beat you down!" Gao Yuan said angrily.
Immediately, the two drew their swords, and the battle was together.
The two sides come and go, the sword moves are fierce, and the sword qi is vertical and horizontal, but fortunately, the stone material in this ring is very rare and can withstand the destruction of the sword qi.
Liang Bo is good at a soft cloud swordsmanship, focusing on the flexibility and skill of the sword, the swordsmanship is soft, and the defense is greater than the attack.
Gao Yuan, on the other hand, is good at a swordsmanship that cuts the wind, focusing on the speed and strength of the sword, and the swordsmanship is rigid and focuses on attacking.
The two fought against each other, obviously having the advantage of high and far, and the offensive was fierce, and Liang Bo only escaped while blocking, which was very embarrassing.
Lu Hao looked at it for a while and saw some clues, although Liang Bo's cultivation was a little worse, but his swordsmanship talent was actually good, maybe he practiced swordsmanship with him when he was a rookie in March, and then learned the importance of basic swordsmanship, so he practiced diligently, and his own brain was not stupid, so his swordsmanship soared.
And although Gao Yuan's cultivation is higher, he is very undisciplined in his playing style, basically relying on ferocious moves to attack, trying to force Liang Bo back.
This depends on Liang Bo's ability to withstand the lofty offensive, and then when his offensive retreats, seize the opportunity to counterattack, so that he still has some opportunities, if he is not strong-willed, the offensive in front will retreat, and it will be over.
"Left chest, up!"
"Down, sweep!"
"Right shoulder, straight stab!"
Lu Hao inexplicably whispered a few words in the battle between the two.
That Liang Bo heard Lu Hao's voice, his face was happy, and he didn't think much about it, so he followed Lu Hao's words, sword after sword, one sword picked up just to pick Gao Yuan's attack, and then another sword swept and forced Gao Yuan to jump up and dodge, at this time Liang Bo's sword momentum changed suddenly, and just a sword stabbed Gao Yuan's right shoulder and defeated him.
Lu Hao actually completely saw through Gao Yuan's flaws.
The referee deacon on the No. 9 platform naturally heard Lu Hao's voice, although he was equivalent to helping Liang Bo in disguise, but after all, it was Liang Bo himself who defeated Gao Yuan, and there was no provision for this in the rules of the game, so he directly announced that Liang Bo had won.
"Xiao Haozi! Thank you! I didn't expect me to be so unlucky in the first round, and I actually met a disciple of the True Qi Realm. As soon as Liang Bo got off the fighting platform, he walked towards Lu Hao and thanked him.
"I just said one thing later, you can comprehend it and use it in such a short period of time, which shows that your swordsmanship is not weak. Lu Hao said lightly.
"Xiao Haozi, to be honest, I admire you a lot, it's only been less than half a year since you entered the outer gate, and you dared to challenge Hong Guangzong, who is known as the first in the outer gate, and set a life and death fight, however, I'm really a little worried, I know your swordsmanship, it can be described as a genius, and Hong Guangzong is not an ordinary person, if you fight him, in case ......" Liang Bo said a little worried.
"I'm going to win. Lu Hao just said lightly, full of confidence.
The game continues.
"Look, Hong Guangzong, one of the top ten disciples of the outer sect, has come on the field, and I heard that he is a popular candidate to win the first place!"
"Ahh
"Hehe, he is a genius disciple, and there are ridiculous people who dare to challenge him, I don't know whether he is alive or dead!"
"By the way, what's the name of the guy who is going to challenge him?"
"I forgot, it seems to be called Lu Hehao's ......"
......
Lu Hao didn't pay attention to Hong Guangzong's fight, because it was finally his turn to play.
Lu Hao's battle platform is on No. 2, and his opponent is not weak, he is also a disciple of the True Qi Realm, named Guo Dongliang.
"Look, that's Lu Hao, the person who wants to fight Hong Guangzong to the death. ”
"Really, let me see how powerful he really is, and he dares to challenge Hong Guangzong. ”
Due to the previous duel incident, Lu Hao suddenly became the object of attention of many outer disciples, and many people were also speculating about Lu Hao's strength.
"You are Lu Hao, just a new outer disciple is about to challenge the elite of the outer disciples, and his tone is too big. "Guo Dongliang has participated in two outer disciple competitions, and he belongs to the old man among the outer disciples, so subconsciously, he regards a new disciple like Lu Hao as a newcomer and divides him into two classes.
"Senior brother, let's stop talking nonsense and shoot directly. Lu Hao said with a smile.
Guo Dongliang snorted coldly, and directly drew his sword to attack, he was good at a thunder swordsmanship, the sword speed was extremely fast, and the speed was also amazing.
Lu Hao's eyes were like lightning, observing the trajectory and speed of the opponent's sword, and then returning fire.
Of course, Lu Hao can use the Shadowless Step or the Pig Killing Sword Technique to defeat one of the swords, but he doesn't do it like this, first, to expose his strength, and secondly, he has always had the mentality of learning, so he uses the most basic basic swordsmanship.
Even if Lu Hao used basic swordsmanship, it was still Guo Dongliang helpless, after the two exchanged dozens of moves, Lu Hao didn't find anything amazing about the other party's swordsmanship, so he found a flaw in the other party, and a sword against the opponent's throat defeated it.
"Cut! After fighting for so long, isn't this Lu Hao powerful at all, how dare he set a life-and-death battle with Hong Guangzong, isn't this looking for death?"
"Don't say it, what if he is preserving his strength, didn't you see that he easily defeated Guo Dongliang? ”
"If you don't have the ability, you don't have the ability, Lu Hao's cultivation is the peak of the True Qi Realm Dacheng is higher than Guo Dongliang, isn't it normal to defeat him?
Lu Hao didn't pay attention to other people's remarks and discussions, and jumped off the competition platform directly.
