Chapter Fifty-Nine: A Relaxing Fifth Round

The odious scream was heard again.

Guo Xuanliang is very close, this is his plan.

It's too close to avoid it completely. Chen De raised his knife to block it, wanting to block the attack of true qi.

"Ding" sounded, Guo Xuanliang's sharp true qi hit Chen De's knife surface, and immediately refracted it, Chen De felt a burst of horror, he felt the refracted true qi fly up to his head, fatal!

Chen De hurriedly tilted his head back.

With a "snort", Chen De felt a heat under his left eye, as if a hot steel needle had pierced and penetrated the skin and muscles half an inch below his left eye.

A bright red wound more than an inch long appeared on Chen De's face.

After preparing for a long time, the seemingly invisible judge made a move, and with a wave of his hand, a wall of qi suddenly appeared between the two people who were fighting, separating the two.

"Stop!" shouted loudly, "Guo Xuanliang wins!"

The judge asked Chen De: "If you are defeated, can you accept it?"

Chen De thought: I was injured by the opponent's true qi, and I lost a move.

I had to nod: "I respect your referee"

After saying that, there was no discouraged expression on his face.

Guo Xuanliang was relieved, the opponent was really difficult.

His current cultivation was only able to perform four True Qi Exit Attacks. If the opponent can dodge this time, he only has two strongest attacks, and it is difficult to predict who will win or lose.

After the victory and defeat were decided, there was warm applause among the disciples under the ring!

I can't tell who I applauded, maybe it was for the two people on the stage at the same time.

After the competition of the other disciples was completed, it was twenty-one disciples who had lost three in a row to fight each other. One of them was the one who was more lucky, had a bye, and could win without a fight. A total of 10 pairs of disciples took the stage to compete.

Although the competition between them is at the lowest level, it is the most solemn atmosphere.

In the ring, all these disciples who lost three times in a row did their best in the fourth round of competition, and the scene was very tragic.

Because, firstly, the martial arts and cultivation are equal, and secondly, the judges will not easily determine the winner, so the final winner is almost always a miserable victory.

Almost all of the winners were drawn, while all the losers were badly injured.

Ten losers, that is, a record of four consecutive defeats, the ranking is determined: the last ten.

When defeated, these disciples all looked desperate and painful.

Some of them let out loud cries and wept on the spot.

The winners are basically expressionless, because they have won this round, and there is hope that they will not fall behind the 128th place.

If you lose the next round, you will be one of the last 20 players. Fate is the same as that of their opponents who have lost at their hands today! Therefore, no one can laugh after victory.

At the end of the fourth round of battles, the disciples' records were as follows: 11 people won four consecutive victories, represented by Guo Xuanliang; 64 people won three and lost one, and Chen De was one of them; 63 people won two and lost two; 21 people won three defeats; and 10 people lost four times in a row.

It should be made clear that after a new disciple has two defeats in the grading competition, he is not eligible to get the top ranking.

The reason why these disciples want to continue to compete is to determine the final specific ranking based on their achievements, so as to determine who is one hundred and twenty-eight.

The more disciples who reach the four defeats first, the lower their rankings will be. Like after the fourth round of competition, the disciples with four consecutive defeats are ranked in the bottom ten.

From that day on, they lost their status as monks of the Tiantai sect and became miscellaneous servants of the Tiantai sect.

Because of his dedication and focus, Chen De can often learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses in competitions with others, or temper his martial arts skills and continue to improve.

In this competition with Guo Xuanliang, Chen De not only removed the flaws in the sword technique, but also gained an experience in fighting with disciples who can attack with true qi: we must pay attention to the refraction of true qi, and the lethality of true qi after refraction will not be reduced.

After a night's rest, the disciples returned to the martial arts training ground.

After the first four rounds of competition, most of the disciples have become calmer, and when drawing numbers, they are no longer as nervous and noisy as before.

In this round, Chen De had the opportunity to draw numbers.

When it was his turn, he stepped forward and drew it, and it was a number one hundred and fifty-three.

After handing it to the senior brother on duty, he saw the name of his opponent on the jade wall: Lian Baicheng.

What an imposing name. However, Chen De finally breathed a sigh of relief, the opponent's reputation was not obvious, and his strength was not as good as that of the opponent in the first two rounds.

After fighting with the new disciple who was known as the strongest in the Heavenly Scar Palace, facing the other disciples, Chen De was full of confidence in winning.

This time, Chen De's competition was arranged in the first match of the No. 3 ring. Chen De didn't dare to slack off, and immediately rushed to the No. 3 ring.

The opponents in the first two rounds all used swords, which made Chen De have a new understanding of the 12 styles of Fengyun, and he wanted to verify it in the actual competition, Chen De did not hesitate, and directly chose to use a sword.

Lian Baicheng comes from a small Xiuzhen family and has a family heirloom marksmanship. He has a foundation in marksmanship, so he uses a pole gun.

Chen Tak is quite experienced in fighting opponents who use guns.

After starting, it didn't take long for Chen De to see an opportunity to bully Lian Baicheng.

After being approached by Chen De, Lian Baicheng was forced to retreat by Chen De's onslaught.

After a move of autumn wind and leaves, Chen De forced out the flaws in the middle of Lianbaicheng.

Chen De sacrificed his new style of cloud-breaking style. The sword flashed, and the sword in his hand was about to be inserted into Lian Baicheng's abdomen.

Lian Baicheng saw the cold light on the sword and knew that he couldn't dodge. I didn't expect to be defeated so soon, and the disappointed Lian Baicheng thought in his heart.

As always, the judge, who had been waiting for the battle, blocked a sword that could bring heavy damage to Lian Baicheng.

At the same time as separating the two, it was also announced: Chen De won.

This competition is the shortest time among all Chen De's current competitions.

Looking at the sparse spectators in the audience, Chen De suddenly remembered his friend Zhang Zhiliang. How did his contest go?

It just so happens that this round of my competition is the first one, and I still have a lot of time, so it's time to go and see the situation of my old friends. Thinking of this, Chen De did not hesitate, and immediately rushed to the Heavenly Weapon Palace.

In a hurry, Chen De arrived at the Heavenly Weapon Palace. Like the Celestial Scar Palace, the most lively place here now is the martial arts training ground.

Because of the many refining processes, in addition to refining new magic weapons, the Heavenly Weapon Palace also needs to undertake the task of repairing and upgrading magic weapons in the Tiantai Sect. Therefore, more manpower is needed here than in the Celestial Scar Palace. There are more new disciples.

On the martial arts training ground, a total of 16 rings were built. Moreover, the Heavenly Weapon Palace itself is longer than the refining weapon, so the ring built is more sturdy and delicate than the Heavenly Scar Palace, and it is also more wide.

In the noisy martial arts training ground, at first, Chen De didn't know how to find Zhang Zhiliang.

After a glance, he patted himself on the head. Like the Heavenly Scar Palace, there is also a piece of jade here, which is larger than that of the Heavenly Scar Palace. Wouldn't it be clear to you when you got there?

Chen De went to Yubi and watched carefully, and found Zhang Zhiliang's name. Zhang Zhiliang's number is one hundred and eighty-three. Today was scheduled in the seventh session of the ninth ring. It's still too late to get there.

Chen De hurried to the ninth ring. Soon he saw Zhang Zhiliang's sturdy figure, his very familiar back. Chen De shouted: "Ah Liang!"

When Zhang Zhiliang heard Chen De's shout, he turned around in surprise and ran to his friend.

The two asked each other about their records. The first four rounds were all the same: three wins and one defeat.

Today is Zhang Zhiliang's fifth round. Moreover, today's Zhang Zhiliang's opponent's cultivation of the Vein Cultivation Realm is said to be the eighth layer, and he is a first-class master in the Heavenly Weapon Palace.

Zhang Zhiliang's cultivation reached the seventh level with the help of the Qi Benefiting Pill given by Chen De. I heard that the opponent is also a sword, and his martial arts are also good. Today is a tough battle for Zhang Zhiliang.

The arrival of the brothers of life and death gave Zhang Zhiliang great encouragement.

Zhang Zhiliang said to Chen De: "If you win the fifth round, I will be the same as you!"

Chen De patted Zhang Zhiliang on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Your knife must be ruthless than his knife!

As soon as the two said a few words, the winner was divided on stage.

After the two people on the stage came down, the judge called Zhang Zhiliang's name.

Zhang Zhiliang's opponent is called Muller, who is tall and taller than Zhang Zhiliang. Muller's record is also three wins and one defeat, with the last defeat to Ou Anlan. This one is inevitable.

Muller is tall and has an eight-layer cultivation, so his strength and speed are good, and he is also fierce and domineering.

Zhang Zhiliang is diligent and assiduous in the practice of knife skills. He used to use the sword in his hand to slash the enemy and save himself. Therefore, he has a special affection for knives. He comprehended the true meaning of the Bahuan Knife faster than Chen De.

In terms of knife skills, Zhang Zhiliang is slightly stronger than Muller.

The two knives on the stage collided violently, and the sound of gold and iron resonating agitated and shocking.

Muller originally looked down on Zhang Zhiliang, knowing that his opponent had an ugly nickname: "bandit", and he didn't take Zhang Zhiliang seriously at all.

As soon as Muller came up, he went all out, and the knife in his hand rolled up pieces of knife wind to attack Zhang Zhiliang, eager to cut down the opponent within a few moves.

Zhang Zhiliang was lower than the opponent, and after starting, the speed of the attack was slightly slower than Muller. The opponent took the lead. However, his defense was watertight, and Muller, although temporarily dominating, had no chance to break down his defense.

Zhang Zhiliang's competition is almost the most intense in this round.

Gradually, it attracted disciples who had time to watch the battle. Especially those disciples who use knives, the competition between the two masters of knives on the stage is more attractive to them. There are more and more people in the audience.

Zhang Zhiliang avoided Muller's sharpness in a tight defense. After Muller's momentum was exhausted, Zhang Zhiliang equalized the situation. The two sides entered a phase of parity.

Zhang Zhiliang's strength showed that at this time, Muller put away his contempt and treated the other party as a strong opponent.

After equalizing the situation, Zhang Zhiliang, who had better knife skills, gradually gained the upper hand.

Muller's defense is not weak, and his strength is very strong. Whenever he is in a critical situation, he relies on his cultivation to be higher and desperately exerts his strength to defuse the opponent's offensive. However, in this way, the physical exertion is more than that of the opponent.

Zhang Zhiliang's endurance and tenacity are also extraordinary.
