Chapter Twenty-Five: The Battle of the Top Three (Rush to the List, Ask for Votes!)
"Mu Bai, you really did it!"
Looking at Meng Mubai, who walked back to the viewing seat, Meng Qingyang hurriedly got up and greeted him, and excitedly patted his shoulder with his palm.
And Meng Mubai saw the surprised smile on his brother's face, and scratched his head with a smile, and then sat in the audience with his brother to watch the next selection.
The selection of the No. 6 ring is the fastest to end, and it is also the reason why Meng Mubai's skills are overwhelming the whole audience and he can decide the winner in a few moves.
At this time, the other competitions in the ring were still going on, and Meng Mubai did not see Sun Xing in the viewing seat, so he frowned slightly. For some reason, Meng Mubai always felt that there seemed to be some problems with Sun Xing's departure at this time, but there were many people around him who congratulated Meng Mubai, so he didn't have time to pay attention to Sun Xing's movements.
At this time, Meng Qingyang can be said to be the most excited person in the viewing seat, and there is nothing that can make him happier than Meng Mubai entering the inner door. Looking at the fellow brothers around him who congratulated him, Meng Qingyang seemed to be as happy as if he had been promoted to an inner disciple, helping Meng Qingyang to deal with his future interpersonal relationships.
However, just when Meng Mubai returned the salute with his brother, something happened that surprised him a little.
It turned out that in the selection of the No. 8 ring, Sun Ding actually defeated all the opponents in front of him and successfully became the second disciple to advance to the inner gate.
"With Sun Ding's strength, can he advance to the inner gate?"
Just hearing the cheers of the outer disciples under the viewing seat, Meng Mubai raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes full of confusion.
Meng Mubai, who has fought against Sun Ding, undoubtedly knows best how many catties and taels Sun Ding's strength is, and if he wants to get the qualification place this time with his strength, it can be said that it is a fool's dream.
However, it is such an unimaginable fact, in front of Meng Mubai, Sun Ding was indeed successfully promoted.
And at this moment, Meng Mubai also knew a little why Sun Xing would leave here, presumably Sun must have the help of Sun Xing, an inner disciple, so he could get the qualification to advance to the inner gate. At the same time, Sun Xing must have done this to prevent Meng Mubai from qualifying for the top three in this inner door selection. After all, even for an inner disciple like Sun Xing, thirty lower-grade spirit stones was not a small amount.
With Sun Ding obtaining the qualification for the promotion of the inner disciples, the selection of the remaining eight rings also ended, and the real-name disciples who could enter the inner gate this time also stood in the martial arts arena in turn. In addition to the surprise of Meng Mubai and Sun Ding's qualification, the other eight outer disciples locked the promotion quota of the inner disciples almost before the selection of the inner disciples.
And when Meng Mubai and the other outer disciples who had entered the inner gate lined up to stand in the martial arts arena in turn, Elder Qian slowly stood up from his seat and pressed his hands to make the martial arts arena silent. After he swept over Meng Mubai and the other disciples who had entered the inner gate in turn, Elder Qian said, "Okay, this time the number of disciples who have been promoted to the inner gate has been decided. Below, is the highlight of this inner door selection, that is, to compete for the top three seats in this inner door selection!"
As he spoke, Elder Qian paused slightly, and then continued to say aloud: "This time, the disciple who won the third place in the inner gate selection will be rewarded with fifty spirit stones. The disciples who won the second place in the selection of inner disciples will be rewarded with fifty spirit stones and one hundred-year-old snow ginseng. As for the disciples who won the first place in the selection of inner disciples, in addition to rewarding a hundred spirit stones, they can also go to Langhuan Pavilion to choose a book of exercise cheats at will, and the grade is not limited!"
"...... Uproar"
As soon as Elder Qian's words fell, not only the ethereal disciples around Meng Mubai were in an uproar, but even his own eyes showed a look of horror.
That's right, every time the top three selected by the inner door of the Ethereal Gate can get rich rewards. However, there has never been an inner door selection, which is to reward a disciple for entering the Langhuan Pavilion to choose the exercises cheats at will, and there is no limit to the grade. It is estimated that if the first-place reward of this inner gate selection is leaked out early, even some inner disciples will feel red-eyed, after all, there are countless exercise cheats and martial arts cheats collected in the Langhuan Pavilion. It is even rumored that there is a heaven-level exercise cheat book hidden in Langhuan Pavilion!
Therefore, as soon as Elder Qian's words were finished, the Ethereal Sect disciples in the martial arts arena would have such a reaction.
Moreover, Elder Qian's words also stirred up the atmosphere of this inner gate selection, and almost all the disciples who were about to enter the inner gate were ready to compete for the first place.
It's a pity that there is only one first in the selection of the inner gate, which leads to the disciples who have been promoted to the inner gate this time to hate each other.
Even, even Meng Mubai could clearly feel that a few eyes fell on him, which showed that Meng Mubai was also regarded as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh by other competitors. Moreover, those inner disciples who had no grudges with Meng Mubai in the past and no enmity in recent days all have strong hostility, not to mention Sun Ding, who once had a dispute with Meng Mubai.
However, when Meng Mubai glanced at Sun Ding with his spare eyes, he found that there was some contempt in the other party's eyes.
Sun Ding's gaze made Meng Mubai cautious in his heart, because he always felt that Sun Ding in front of him was a little weird, and he couldn't say how weird it was.
Then, under Elder Qian's arrangement, the competition for the top three inner disciples was about to begin.
After a round of draws, the ten inner disciples present all knew their respective opponents. And Meng Mubai's opponent is a young man named Lin Wu, and it is said that his strength has also reached the eighth-level Great Perfection of body refining. During the selection of inner disciples, Lin Wu was able to guide the inner star power to fight, which could be described as a fierce opponent.
It's just that for Meng Mubai, who is also cultivating to the eighth layer of the Great Perfection of the Body Refining, it is not much of a problem to defeat Lin Wu.
The battle between the two began quickly after the draw was completed.
As for the end, it didn't surprise too many people, under the power of Meng Mubai's triple cloud thunder power, even if Lin Wu was able to guide the star power in his body to fight, but after all, he was not a cultivator of the ninth layer of refining the body, and the consumption required to guide the star power was too great. zuihou, under the onslaught of Meng Mubai's triple cloud thunder, within ten moves, Meng Mubai successfully blasted him off the ring.
So far, Meng Mubai has also been successfully promoted to the top five and easily won the first victory.
However, just as Meng Mubai stepped out of the ring, ready to watch the other disciples' fights, the referee's voice suddenly attracted Meng Mubai's attention.
"Winner, Sun Ding!"
"...... Uproar"
Sure enough, as Meng Mubai expected, Sun Ding won another upset, and the opponent he defeated turned out to be Wang Meng, who had enough cultivation at the ninth level of body refining.
That Wang Meng was originally a big hit in the selection of this year's inner disciples, and the cultivation of the ninth layer of refining body was not considered the bottom even among the inner disciples, so who would have thought that such a strong Wang Meng would be defeated in the hands of Sun Ding? Moreover, Sun Ding, just like Meng Mubai, completely suppressed his opponent in the competition, and knocked Wang Meng down in the ring in a very short time.
Is this kind of strength really something that Sun Ding, who is at the eighth level of body refining, can have?
Now Meng Mubai is more and more sure in his heart that it was Sun Xing who secretly helped Sun Ding to achieve victory.
The showdown of the top five ended one after another, and the new round of draw was completed again, and a disciple who was lucky enough to draw an empty lot, locked the top three places without the need for a game. However, Meng Mubai didn't have such luck, and he had now drawn a new round of opponents. Moreover, just when Meng Mubai saw who his opponent was, a sneer appeared on Meng Mubai's face.
"It's not that enemies don't get together!"
"Sun Ding!"
