Chapter 141: Spectating the Battle
Aotian, Zhou Zhirui, Zheng Tiansong, Shen Kuo and others were lucky, and they were pushed to a relatively high position by the flow of people, and they just happened to be able to see the situation in the ring.
Accompanied by the sound of drums around them, the ten disciples who won in the morning drew lots to determine the order of the next challenge competition.
After the draw was over, the disciple who was in first place stayed in the ring, and the rest of the people all got out of the ring.
"What disciple do you want to challenge on the ground list?" the referee elder asked in a deep voice.
"Ranked tenth on the land list!" the disciple said without hesitation.
And his choice is basically expected by everyone, under normal circumstances, each challenger will choose the last person on the ground list, so that the chances of winning are greater.
Hearing the disciple's words, the disciple ranked tenth on the ground list stepped forward and stayed in the ring, while the nine of them temporarily got out of the ring.
"Ready to start the competition!" said the elder referee, and immediately retreated to the edge of the ring.
The two disciples bowed to each other and clenched their fists, then retreated to their sides, each spilling blood qi, pulling out the long sword at his waist, and preparing for battle.
Judging from the blood qi released by the two of them, their blood qi levels are about the same.
"It seems that this competition should be a competition and contest of martial arts level and combat ability. Aotian looked at the two people on the stage who were about the same color and breath, and said secretly in his heart.
"Look at the move!" With a loud shout, the disciple of the place list rushed out first, and then began a fierce confrontation with the challenger.
Through the battle between the two, it is not difficult for Aotian to see that the challenger's blood level and cultivation martial arts should be no worse than that of the disciple of the local list.
However, his combat experience and combat ability are obviously much worse, so a martial skill of the same level cannot exert the strongest attack power in his hands, but on the contrary, the disciples of the place list can exert the power of martial arts to the extreme.
So although the two have been fighting for several rounds without a winner, the challenger has obviously been at a disadvantage and passive, and as long as he shows the slightest flaw, he will be defeated.
"Okay, stop, the challenger failed the challenge!" Elder Referee's voice suddenly sounded, and he immediately stopped the two disciples who were competing.
According to the traditional rules, after the two sides have fought several times, the referee elder can judge the strength level of the two according to the situation of the two fighting, so in order not to let the stronger disciples consume too much and affect the results of the next competition, the referee elder has the right to terminate the competition and directly announce the winner.
Hearing the result of the referee elder's verdict, the challenger did not raise any objections, because he himself knew his own shortcomings in his heart, so he could only arch at the disciples of the land list and the referee elder, and then walked out of the ring.
"Next challenger!" the referee's voice rang out again.
Immediately, I saw a handsome man with a confident face stepped into the ring, arched his hand and said, "I also challenge this senior brother!"
"Alright, let's get started!" said the referee with a blank face.
Hearing this, after the challenger man arched his hand at the disciple of the Earth List, he also overflowed with blood, pulled out his long sword, and then took the initiative to attack the disciple of the Earth List.
Judging from the blood qi released, this person's blood qi level is about the same as the challenger just now, but after a few battles, this challenger's super combat awareness and combat ability were displayed, and for a while, the two of them actually overwhelmed the momentum of the disciples of the local list, and completely took the initiative in the end.
"You've lost!" Just as the referee was about to end the match, the challenger grabbed a fatal flaw in his opponent, and the long sword was weirdly pressed against the blood shield on the opponent's chest.
Although the Great Martial Artist level blood qi shield can defend against ordinary swords, if the opponent is a person with the same strength as himself, the sword can also become harder and sharper under the infusion of blood qi, and it can also break through the blood qi shield and take people's lives.
"The challenger wins!" the referee elder, still expressionless, announced the results of the competition.
Shaking his head helplessly, the disciple at the bottom of the list walked out of the ring with a slightly lonely face.
"Next challenger!" the referee's voice sounded again, and another challenger took the stage, and then started the competition with the disciple who had just won, but with just one move, this person was directly defeated.
The other challenger who followed directly chose to abstain.
"The next challenger!"
"This junior brother, come down and take a rest, Elder, I will directly challenge Senior Brother Wang Qiu, who is the number one on the ground list!" Yuwen Changkong grinned as he swaggered into the ring.
Seeing Yuwen Changkong ascending to the ring, there was a commotion around him, and louder applause and shouts and cheers also resounded throughout the martial arts arena.
After Yuwen Changkong took the stage, a man about the same age as Yuwen Changkong also walked into the ring amid bursts of applause.
Compared with Yuwen Changkong, this man looks very handsome and chic, quite a strong man's demeanor, and he has a long sword behind him, which is even more unique.
This person is Wang Qiu, who ranks first on the land list.
After Wang Qiu stepped into the ring, he and Yuwen Changkong clasped their fists and saluted each other, and then retreated to both sides, drew their long swords, and overflowed with blood.
Judging from the blood qi released, Wang Qiu's cultivation should be at the level of a median great martial artist, while Yuwen Changkong's cultivation is a high-level great martial artist, so unless Wang Qiu's martial arts level is much higher than that of Yuwen Changkong, and his combat ability is far beyond that of Yuwen Changkong, he has absolutely no chance of winning.
However, everyone knows that this kind of unification is completely impossible.
"Senior Brother Changkong, although I know that my strength is not as good as yours, but I Wang Qiu has not given up two words in my dictionary, so I will do my best to fight you!" Wang Qiu said with a serious face.
"Well, what the junior brother admires the most is the kind of hard work of the senior brother!The junior brother will also go all out!" Yuwen Changkong Zhilu said, fighting with all his might is the greatest respect for that Wang Qiu.
"Okay, junior brother, take the move!" With a low shout, Wang Qiu took the lead in swinging his sword and rushed towards Yuwen Changkong, and Yuwen Changkong's figure also moved after him.
"Qiang-" The two swords clashed, Wang Qiu's figure flew back, Yuwen Changkong adjusted slightly, and immediately bullied up, the long sword in his hand was also extremely fast, making some of the surrounding disciples with low cultivation feel blurred in front of them, and they could only see the afterimage of the long sword.
"Qiang-Qiang-" Two more gold-iron clashes sounded, and the two figures in the ring suddenly froze, and the long sword in Yuwen Changkong's hand was pressed against Wang Qiu's chest.
At the end of the competition, the whole process was extremely short, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was in the blink of an eye, and for Jiang Kai, Zheng Tiansong, Zhou Zhirui, and Shen Kuo and others, they didn't see what was going on at all, and the competition had already been decided.
However, in the confrontation between the two just now, Aotian saw it very clearly.
Although Aotian's cultivation is only a lower martial artist, his spiritual power is far beyond ordinary people, plus several martial arts of the speed type he cultivates, and he has the kind of Xuan Qi in his body that is good at speed, so under this long-term training, his reaction speed has far exceeded the level that his cultivation should have.
"This Yuwen Changkong is indeed very strong, and the level of martial arts he cultivates should also be at the ground level, so his actual combat strength is not impossible to kill some ordinary martial spirit powerhouses!" Aotian secretly sighed in his heart.
Although Yuwen Changkong's strength is no match for the power of his punch, Aotian knows very well that this world is very large, since the martial arts are divided into four levels: heaven, earth, Xuan, and Huang, then there must be people who cultivate the heaven-level martial arts, and there are also more powerful supernatural powers, as well as some strange powers that he doesn't know.
Therefore, there must be many, many strong people in this world, and their own strength is still very weak.
Seeing that Wang Qiu lost, the onlookers were not surprised, after all, that Yuwen Changkong belonged to the level of the heavenly list, and it was natural to win.
"Yuwen Changkong wins!Will the disciple at the bottom of the ground list continue to challenge others?" the referee elder looked at the disciple who had successfully challenged before, and asked in a deep voice.
According to the rules, Yuwen Changkong defeated the first place on the ground list, so the disciple at the bottom of the earth list would be eliminated, so although he had just succeeded in the challenge, if he wanted to enter the earth list again at this time, he had to challenge the others on the earth list again.
"Keep up the challenge!" the disciple jumped into the ring again, "I'm going to challenge for ninth place in the same place!"
As soon as this person's voice fell, a woman with a long skirt fluttering and a graceful posture jumped into the ring, and immediately hugged each other's fists and saluted, and the competition began.
The strength of the two seemed to be equal, and the first few encounters were equal, but after more than a dozen rounds, the male disciple showed his flaws, and was taken advantage of by the woman and defeated.
Subsequently, the remaining challengers also came to the stage one after another to challenge the woman, but the last one failed one after another, and it was not until the last disciple who came to the stage to challenge that he defeated the woman with amazing strength and succeeded in the challenge.
In this way, two of the ten disciples on the in-situ list were eliminated, and the remaining eight and the two who succeeded in the challenge rested, and the second round of the competition began.
The second round of the competition was held in five rings at the same time, so Aotian, Zhou Zhirui, Zheng Tiansong, as well as Jiang Kai, Shen Kuo and others were scattered in the ring to watch the battle.
Time flies, and the sun sets.
The ranking competition of the battle for the land list is finally over, Yuwen Changkong unexpectedly won the first place, and the top three of the original land list also fell back one place at a time, and the rankings of the other people were basically completely reversed.
If you don't advance in martial arts cultivation, you will retreat, and there is no huge difference in the strength of the ten people on this list, so no matter who you are, as long as you relax a little, you may be surpassed by those who work harder than him.
