Chapter Ninety-Seven: Before the Tournament
Gu Yunzhe and the others in the restaurant found a vacant seat and began to eat. Before they could move their chopsticks, suddenly, several more people appeared next to them.
Several people looked up, and Zihe and Wan Futong were surprised at the same time, "Ah! He snorted and stood up at the same time. Gu Yunzhe also stood up and bowed to a few people who came over, "Senior Brother Zhurong!" ”
The people who came were the five people who guarded the mountain gate at the beginning, Zhu Rong, Shouhua, Zhou Rao, Rong Yu, and Zhenling. These five people are the people recommended by Kamiya to run for election this year.
Zhu Rong smiled and hugged his fists, and several juniors behind him also hugged their fists with him, "Mr. Gu, let's meet again, don't come unharmed!" Zihe, Futong, you two seem to be in good shape. ”
Zihe and Wan Futong respectfully saluted Zhu Rong and the others, "Senior Brother Xie praises!" ”
Zhu Rong smiled and said: "I saw the scene just now, Qiu Jinyu's cold ice blade just now, if Mr. Gu didn't block it for you, even if you dodged it, you would be attacked by some cold qi." Even if it is me, I have to carry the protective qi to dare to touch the sword, that is ten successes! And Mr. Gu dissolved it with an understatement, and I sighed to myself! After speaking, he actually bowed to Gu Yunzhe as a teacher.
After listening to his words, Zihe couldn't help but look at Gu Yunzhe. And those onlookers who have been paying attention to this place have also heard it, and they are convinced of the words of the champion of the past two years. Looking at Gu Yunzhe's gaze was mixed with more other meanings, or admiration, or jealousy, but there was no jealousy and comparison, after all, many people here thought that there was still a big gap compared to Zhu Rong. And Zhu Rong actually gave a heavy salute to this strange young man at this time.
Gu Yunzhe introduced Zhang Jianqiang and a few people to each other, and then a few people chatted with each other before leaving the restaurant.
Although Zhu Rong and the others looked calm and indifferent on the surface, their hearts fluctuated at this time. Rong Yu, who had fought with Gu Yunzhe, broke the silence, "Senior brother, this Gu Yunzhe's strength has increased a lot." I'm afraid our Spiritual Manifestation is no longer enough to compete with it. ”
Zhu Rong smiled and said, "Haha, do you know that last time people kept their hands." You've heard about him in Burma, and the gap between us and him is getting bigger and bigger. ”
"Yes, although he called it the Spirit Exhibition Technique, but after looking through all the classics, I have never seen a Spirit Exhibition Technique that is so powerful." Rong Yu sighed.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, a voice came from the speaker in the lounge, "Please meet the team leaders and reference personnel in the cafeteria." Please meet at the cafeteria. ”……
Moments later, the hallway was open and noisy footsteps were heard, and everyone walked out of the room.
Soon, everyone was in the restaurant. At this time, all the tables and chairs in the dining room were pushed to the side of the surrounding walls, except for the four tables in the center, which were covered with a red cloth like a box.
Near the dining table is a small high platform, half a meter high. At this time, there were some people standing above, an old man in a Mao suit with gray hair, who was the most conspicuous. Next to him were some people dressed in different clothes, some monks and some laymen. Jiang Huaishan is also in this group, but he is standing at the very end, obviously his identity or seniority is the lowest.
Gu Yunzhe and the others were also standing in the crowd at this time, looking around, and all they saw were heads, there were hundreds.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, a young man in his thirties walked out next to the gray-haired old man, took a step forward and cleared his throat, "Everyone, please be quiet! The sound was as loud as a lion's roar, and the vibrating eardrums tingled, apparently using some kind of amplification spell. After hearing his voice, the "buzzing" sound that echoed in the crowd immediately stopped, and everyone's eyes turned to him.
This person was very satisfied with the effect of his words, and his body was even more upright, "The elders of the sect are tall, in Xia Rusuchang, the director of the preparation of the martial arts conference, I have given you a salute!" "Bow when you say that." It's the annual martial arts conference again, and there won't be much to say about polite words. The rules of this year's big competition remain unchanged, our sects are 22 participating teams this time, plus the Hunting Spirit Garrison Brigade, a total of 23 teams, because the Hunting Spirit Garrison Brigade has more personnel, it is split into two teams and competes separately, but there is no competition. First draw a number in the name of the team, and then according to the number of any combination of the two sides, divided into individual games and team confrontation, to determine a winner and a winning team, enter the next round of the game, after each round of the battle, again any combination of the two sides, until the top three and the strongest team are decided. The top three can get a Jiaodan, a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, a five-hundred-year-old mountain ginseng, and the strongest team can get a chance to practice in the Xuandong for 30 days, everyone can understand! ”
Suddenly, a voice asked, "Director Luo, everyone knows that there are more places in the Spirit Hunting Garrison Brigade, and there are ten people. Even if it is split into two teams, there are five people, and we are all three people, isn't it a little unfair! ”
Russell often glanced at the man and laughed: "Splitting into two teams is just for fairness." Otherwise, it would be even more unfair for them to split into three teams. Because there is a team of four, there will certainly be one of you who will face this situation, and that would not be unfair to that team. So we're arranging this to maintain fairness, you know. ”
Everyone present made a sparse voice, "Got it." ”
Russell often smiled, "Looking at your listlessness, the top three of this year's top three can accept Yu Lao's preaching, this opportunity is really rare." After speaking, he bowed to the gray-haired old man behind him.
Hearing this reward, the eyes of most of the people present lit up and they all looked at the old man.
Yu Lao took a step forward and glanced at everyone with a smile, "The masters of the great sects, I, I don't dare to preach for everyone, the top three people can raise the confusion in their hearts, and I can do my best to answer their confusion." And you can teach a talisman spell that can be used as a means of saving your life. Before the meeting, everyone may have been notified that the people of the evil demon outer way have moved in Mount Tai, and according to the news given by the insider, they are looking for the ghost path Yin Si. The entire sect of the Taishan Sect was there, monitoring the movements of the Outer Eight Sects and preventing the Outer Eight Sects from spying on Yin Si. All of us here will rush to Mount Tai after the conference to support the Taishan Sect and protect our Chinese Yin Division. This operation was the first time that our cultivators had appeared in front of the public, and it was also the first time that they had faced so many enemies, and since the four beams and eight pillars of the Outer Eight Gates had dispatched half of their strength, it seemed that what they had in mind was not small, and they would definitely do whatever it took to achieve their goal. When the time comes, some of us will also be eliminated because of this, are you afraid! ”
"Don't be afraid!" A neat and high-pitched reply echoed in the empty dining room.
Yu Lao was very satisfied with the reaction of everyone in the audience, smiled and turned back to Russell Chang and whispered, "Let's start." ”
Russell Chang nodded, jumped off the high platform, came to the four tables in the middle, and grabbed the red cloth on them, revealing a large wooden box with a round hole in it. "Each team sent one person to come and draw lots."
After a brief commotion in the crowd, people began to walk towards the wooden box and reach out to grab the number from inside. Gu Yunzhe and they assigned Zhang Jianqiang, in Wan Futong's words, he was lucky.
Soon the numbers inside the carton were caught.
Someone then pushes out a whiteboard with a number of suckers on it. Russell often walked over and flicked the top buckle a few times to break up the numbers inside, and then divided the numbers into two equal parts and arranged them in two columns from top to bottom. Draw a vertical line from the center of the whiteboard to divide the layout into two.
From above, another person walked down, picked up a whiteboard marker, stood in front of the whiteboard, and prepared to transcribe.
Russell often began to read the numbers above, "Number 12 is that sect." ”
"Maoshan Sect" A man in a long robe held up the number plate in his hand and replied loudly.
With his voice, the person in front of the whiteboard took down the No. 12 suction cup and wrote a 12 with a whiteboard marker, followed by the words "Maoshan Sect".
"Number 9 is that sect." "Kunlun faction".
"No. 3" "Wudang Faction"......
In about twenty minutes, all the sects appeared on the whiteboard, except for Gu Yunzhe's name. Because they had no sect or faction, Zhang Jianqiang directly called out Gu Yunzhe's name.
Gu Yunzhe wanted to stop it, but he felt embarrassed as he watched his name appear on the whiteboard paper in full view of everyone. Although he was forced to calm down, his flushed cheeks exposed his inner nervousness.
Seeing his name, there was an immediate commotion in the crowd, almost everyone looked at Zhang Jianqiang, and some people seemed to recognize Gu Yunzhe and pointed at him.
Russell often saw this, and in order not to interfere with the continuation of the distribution meeting, he raised the voice of the next number to be read, and the commotion of the crowd gradually stopped.
The final result came out quickly, Gu Yunzhe and his team faced one of the teams of the Spirit Hunting Garrison Brigade, and their opponent of the other team was the Taibai Mountain Ma Family.
Seeing such a result, Zihe glanced at Qiu Jinyu, who was also looking at her at this time. The eyes of the two were intertwined, like two lightning bolts. If it is tangible, it is estimated that the other party has been electrocuted countless times.
Soon, everyone in the restaurant dispersed. Go back to your dorm room and study how to win. Gu Yunzhe and several of them also gathered in his dormitory to study the characteristics of the Spirit Hunting Garrison Brigade.
After they all sat down, they found that except for Zihe, the remaining three people didn't know anything about the exercises of the Spirit Hunting Garrison Brigade. And Zi He also knows a little about it, all he knows is that the people on the opposite side are all at the rank of captain, and their strength is in the Yuandan realm, as for the rest, it is impossible to know.
Several people looked at each other, not knowing what strength the opponent had and how to counter it. When he was at a loss, Gu Yunzhe suddenly said, "There is no problem. Just treat them as imaginary enemies. Think about it, if you encounter an enemy, will you be given time to study? Besides, they don't know much about our strength, and they will also be uneasy. ”
In the face of his explanation, the tension in the hearts of those people eased a lot. It's just that Zhang Jianqiang suddenly asked a question, "Brother, you said that I don't know any exercises, how can I play against each other." ”
"Brother Zhang, although you don't know any exercises, your physical fitness is definitely enough. Just resist it! Feeling what it's like to face spells will make you progress faster when you learn spells in the future. Zihe said.
Zhang Jianqiang looked at the ceiling and nodded, "That's right, I originally came here to study." Don't be afraid! ”
Zihe looked at Wan Futong and asked, "Futong, what about you." ”
Wan Futong bared his teeth, "If you want to say that you are not nervous, it is nonsense, but I will learn from Brother Zhang and bite the bullet." With my eldest brother here, what am I afraid of? He looked at Gu Yunzhe and smiled.
"Yes. You come out with your strongest strength and see how deep your potential is. Besides, it's just for the experience, and you don't need to take any ranking. Gu Yunzhe was not good at words, and he was a little pale at this time, so he could only say what he was thinking directly.
After he said this, several people were no longer burdened, and the tension dissipated. Several people returned to their rooms and began to meditate and meditate, elevating themselves to the best possible state.
Gu Yunzhe also sat in his room, sitting cross-legged and meditating. As soon as I settled down, colorful voices appeared in my ears.
"The Yuan Force here is full of the Rock Breath of the Most Rigid and Yang, you can try to absorb some of it. This rock breath can be called the first foundation, not only can be used in your heavenly palace, but also can make the spirit body more condensed, and can be integrated into the physical body, making it more solid, but also can be used for you to cross the danger, reduce the pain of the dangerous journey, and can also help you reduce the pain of the tribulation when you cross the tribulation, so that your realm can smoothly step out of the Yuan Realm and enter the Nayuan Realm, so as to achieve the spiritual sea and condense the island. ”
"This rock breath is so powerful. Then why can't other practitioners absorb it? ”
"This rock breath, as the name suggests, is the essence of the rock. The rock is a stone that has been calcined and condensed millions of times, and the hardest diamond weapon in the world is like tofu noodles in front of it. And this rock breath is another sublimation of the innate mixed element qi, although it is rare, but it can be valued. It's just that ordinary people don't inhale it, and those ordinary cultivators don't dare to inhale. If they absorb it, the fire in it will be like a knife, and it will cause them to suffer the sin of being burned by the heavenly fire, and then condense it into a relic," Wucai explained.
"Relics! Could it be that those Buddhist monks passed away because of this rock breath! ”
