Chapter Eighty-Six: One Step Closer
"Is this kid a spiritual cultivator or a sword cultivator? It's incredible that a spiritual disciple can be so powerful in sword qi control!"
"I think this kid should be the most powerful one in this Doufa Conference, maybe he can go to the end and win the first place!"
"It's still too early to draw conclusions at this time! However, I believe that this kid definitely has other special means! Compared to the previous disciples who have already advanced, he definitely has the strength to compete!"
In an instant, the discussion in the audience sounded again!
Ma Yilong's expression was as usual, he took the golden disc he deserved, and returned to the Purple Cloud Sect area. Ma Yilong and Zhang Lin are almost not much different in strength, the reason why he can win easily is that surpassing his opponent in sword qi control is only one aspect, and more importantly, the two did not defend well in advance. Ma Yilong knew very well in his heart that if the two of them first took good protection as soon as they came up, and then launched a confrontation, even if their sword qi control surpassed that of their opponents, it would be difficult to win within twenty moves.
The competition on several other platforms was soon completed, and Ma Yilong slowly stood up, glanced at the crowd, and slowly walked in one of the directions.
For the other four major factions who came to participate and watch, the Purple Cloud Sect specially arranged a place for them to live, just like in their own mountain gate, there was also a cave house for each person, but these caves were next to each other.
As one of the more dazzling disciples in today's Dharma Fighting Conference, as soon as the competition was over, He Xiang had a brief conversation with his fellow disciples, and hurried back to his temporary residence. Seeing that he had walked in front of his cave door, He Xiang suddenly had a thought, and suddenly turned around and stared at a place six hundred zhang away.
Under his gaze, a person slowly appeared and walked towards him, this person was Ma Yilong.
This was planned by Ma Yilong a long time ago, although it was discovered by the other party, Ma Yilong was extremely excited. The purpose of his tracking of the other party was to verify which of the two gods was stronger, and now he had an answer.
With Ma Yilong's divine thoughts, he could notice all the other party's actions from more than 700 zhang away, but it wasn't until he got closer to more than 100 zhang that He Xiang discovered him.
"He Daoyou's performance in the Doufa Platform is very admirable, and Ma Yilong of the Lower Purple Cloud Sect bowed down to greet Daoyou!" Ma Yilong came closer, arched his hand, and said with a smile.
"Ma Daoyou has won the award, your performance on the stage is eye-popping!, however, Daoyou followed all the way, it shouldn't be just to praise me, right?" He Xiang asked with a wry smile, and didn't seem to mean to let Ma Yilong into the hole.
"He Daoyou said with a smile, if it weren't for seeing Daoyou show his concentration qi, I might not have the interest to disturb Daoyou! However, since Daoyou doesn't welcome me, I'll leave here!" Ma Yilong chuckled, turned around and left.
"If I see it well, Daoyou should have used this technique on stage today!" Looking at Ma Yilong's back, He Xiang said lightly.
"Yes, but Daoyou Shennian is still far inferior to me, if you and I meet on stage, you shouldn't have any chance of winning!" Ma Yilong stopped his steps and turned around, his face full of confidence.
"Ma Daoyou is here, could it be that he is here to intimidate me?" He Xiang asked with a surprised face.
"You're wrong! I should also see clearly what happened in the last few days, I have earned a lot of spirit stones from several seniors by placing bets, and I don't lack this at all. As for the ranking, I don't care at all! If you and I meet in the lottery, it doesn't matter if I give up the stage! The important thing is that the Taoist friend is willing to make this deal with me!"
"Deal?I do value this competition, but it also depends on what kind of request Daoist friends make?" He Xiang frowned and stared at Ma Yilongdao.
"Divine Mind Surgery Exercises!" Ma Yilong said lightly.
When He Xiang heard this, he frowned and hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand with a smile, and said, "The exercises cannot be handed over to you for the time being, but I know the whereabouts of the exercises, we can sit down and talk about this matter, if Ma Daoyou is interested, please go to the cave!"
Ma Yilong smiled and nodded, and followed He Xiang into the cave where he lived temporarily.
After a stick of incense, Ma Yilong smiled and turned back to his cave. Both of them have practiced the Divine Mind Technique, and they are very interested in the later exercises. He Xiang said frankly that he knew the whereabouts of the exercises behind, and he could take Ma Yilong to find the exercises behind him after half a year. The two have agreed on a meeting place in half a year, and in exchange, if Ma Yilong meets He Xiang in this competition, he must make avoidance.
In fact, while Ma Yilong and He Xiang were negotiating the terms of the transaction in the cave, there were also two people in another cave who were secretly negotiating the deal.
"Daoyou won't take me for a fool, right? Let me deal with Ma Yilong, there is no difference between letting me go to death? You have also seen that kid's martial arts, I can't be his opponent. I, Jiang Shi, am indeed a greedy person for money, but I also have self-knowledge, and I will never lose my life for this mere five thousand spirit stones!
"Jiang Daoyou is too worried! I have no reason for you to die in vain, that will not do me any good! Ma Yilong's martial arts skills are indeed unfathomable, and Daoyou may not be his opponent! However, this does not mean that Daoyou does not have a chance to succeed on the martial arts platform!"
"What do you mean by that?"
"The principle is very simple! Through today's hand-to-hand situation, Daoyou should be able to see it! That Ma Yilong still has weaknesses, he eats soft and not hard, Daoyou seize this, you will have a chance to succeed by surprise!"
"But ......"
"Daoyou don't worry, I can arrange the lottery in advance, as long as I want you to draw together, I can let you draw everything! Daoyou just kill Ma Yilong, don't worry about the consequences at all, I will arrange everything for you! After tomorrow on stage, ......"
The two people who were talking in the cave, one was a Qi Refining Peak disciple from Feiyun Sect, named Jiang Shi, who was also one of the top nine in this martial arts competition. The person who talked to Jiang Shi was none other than Ma Yilong's great enemy, Wang He.
Ma Yilong didn't know anything about the two plotting in the cave. Ma Yilong has a yin and yang ghost worm, and he can indeed do it if he wants to monitor Wang He, but he can't monitor him all the time. In addition, the most important thing is that Ma Yilong really didn't have time to monitor all this at this time.
Because as soon as Ma Yilong returned to his cave door, he met Yan Rufeng, who was already waiting there.
"Congratulations to Senior Brother Ma for entering the top nine at the same time in the martial arts competition and fighting techniques! Senior Brother has excellent martial arts skills, advanced swordsmanship, and easily defeated his opponent on both stages, which is really eye-opening! I guess that after today's battle, I am afraid that there will be many more girls who admire Senior Brother among the five major factions!" As soon as the two met, Yan Rufeng smiled and praised Ma Yilong.
"I wonder if there will be a senior sister among the admirers that Senior Sister Yan said?" Ma Yilong looked at Yan Rufeng with a faint smile and asked slightly provocatively.
"Of course, beautiful women love talents! Men and women are good-looking, women are important for appearance, and the most important thing for men is talent, which is ability!" Yan Rufeng blinked lightly, and looked at Ma Yilong with a smile, with a charming look on her face.
Seeing Yan Rufeng's actions like this, Ma Yilong smiled bitterly in his heart. When he stood in front of Xin Ruyi, Xiao Qianqi, and He Ying, he had a red face and a red heartbeat, and even if the two sides looked at each other for a long time, they would blush. However, standing in front of Yan Rufeng, even if he intends to tease the other party, he can be very calm in his heart, and he will not blush when he keeps staring at the other party.
Judging from Yan Rufeng's expression, Ma Yilong could judge that the other party was the same as himself. This is also the reason why Ma Yilong smiled bitterly, fake is fake, you can deceive others when you act on the spot, but you can't deceive yourself. But in order to save her life, Ma Yilong is also willing to continue to accompany her!
"Senior Sister Yan's statement, the younger brother agrees more! The junior brother is not a capable person at all with this bit of martial arts and spells. However, the younger brother dares to conceited and say that I am definitely a talented person! I dare not say anything else, the younger brother is excellent at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he was also a well-known local talent before entering the mountain gate!" Ma Yilong patted his chest and suddenly boasted uncharacteristically.
"That's great! Although I'm not good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I'm a keen person, junior brother must let me have a good look today!" Yan Rufeng smiled faintly, and there was still a charming and moving look on her face.
Ma Yilong nodded with a smile, stepped forward quickly to open the door of the cave, and let Yan Rufeng into the cave. As soon as the two entered the cave, there was a lot of laughter inside. If it is heard by people who don't know the inside story, they will definitely be envious.
It wasn't until the next day that the game was about to start that the two walked out of Ma Yilong's cave door together and walked side by side towards the martial arts arena. You can tell from the smiles on their faces that they are very happy. It can be seen from the eyes of them that the relationship between the two seems to have taken a step further at this time.
When the two walked into the arena, the arena was already full of people. Seeing the two of them talking and laughing together, there were a lot of surprised eyes in the field. Most of the people in the other four major factions don't know the relationship between Yan Rufeng and Wang He, nor do they know the grievances between Ma Yilong and Wang He. However, among the disciples of the Purple Cloud Sect, there were very few who did not understand this, and everyone even wondered if their eyes were spent.
The draw soon began, and Ma Yilong's opponent was Jiang Shi, who conspired with Wang He.
At this time, there were only nine disciples left in the competition, and after removing the one who had a lucky bye, there were only four groups of duels. There are a total of four competition platforms in the field, which happens to be one group on each stage, and the four groups are carried out at the same time.
Hearing the disciples of the foundation building period on the side of the No. 1 stage call their names, Ma Yilong and Yan Rufeng, who were standing behind the crowd, glanced at each other, and they both smiled at the same time. Ma Yilong smiled, nodded, and strode towards the competition platform.
The two looked at each other and smiled, both of them were acting for each other. But they can all smile so happily and naturally, because they are very proud inside. At this point, both of them thought they had achieved their desired goal.
