Chapter 300: Predictions
The semi-finals of the individual competition started magnificently in the midst of all the attention, and the first game was the focus of the attention of the whole people - Chu Hongjiao, who was predicted to be ranked first, against the unexpectedly rising dark horse Yingyinuo.
One of these two went all the way to the top four, and the other was a dark horse that couldn't be blacker anymore by picking up "strong enemies" all the way to the top four.
Everyone is looking forward to this match, and what people are most looking forward to is whether Eichino will pick out another player from the three major academies and become the second individual champion in history who is not from the three academies.
It's a pity that except for a few people who know her true identity, almost all of them are not optimistic that she can win the game, in people's eyes, the martial artists of the non-three major academies still lack a kind of background after all, a kind of background that can help her win, the kind of foundation that makes people full of confidence as soon as they hear that they are the players of the three major academies.
After Zhu Xiaoxiao's "enlightenment" by Xia Yi, her mood has returned to normal, she stood by Xia Yi's side intentionally or unintentionally, looking at the two girls who were already in place on the martial arts platform, her eyes were full of strong war intent.
"It's a shame that I can only play one of them, and I really hope I can beat both of them again. Zhu Xiaoxiao's tone didn't hear a trace of waves, and when she said this, she was very calm, and the words she said were involuntarily convincing.
"No matter who you face, it won't be easy to fight, except for Xu Zhihua in the top four, there is no good stubble!" Xia Yi muttered.
Zhu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, and she looked at Xia Yi unhappily: "How can you say that about girls?"
Xia Yi shook his head slightly, listening to Zhu Xiaoxiao's angry words, he hurriedly explained: "Look at you all the way to the end of the game, almost everyone's opponent is unconscious, and you are too ruthless, I am not wrong about this, right?"
"That's because they're too weak!" Zhu Xiaoxiao argued. She's a girl, and she doesn't want to be put on a "ruthless" hat, how indecent it is.
"They are indeed weak, and you are indeed strong. By the way, have you stepped on the 'threshold' of the eighth grade?" Xia Yi suddenly remembered something and asked with concern.
In the last game, Zhu Xiaoxiao turned the tables and defeated Zhang Yunfeng, and after she went back, she faintly felt that she had seen the threshold of the eight-grade realm, and she had a feeling that she would break through at any time.
This situation has also been seen in the Shangwu Competition in previous years, because the seven-rank realm is set as the upper limit, so many academies will suppress the realm of the players, so that they will try not to break through to the eight-rank realm. In this way, it can not only ensure that the strength of participating in the competition will not be weakened, but also allow the players to experience the feeling of approaching the breakthrough more, and the accumulation of experience will help them reduce the danger of breakthrough in the future.
Therefore, during almost every Shangwu Competition, there will be martial artists who break through the realm of eight grades.
This is of course a good thing for the martial artists, but for the academy, it may not be.
Now Zhu Xiaoxiao is the only hope of Long Xiangyuan in the individual competition, and the team competition also depends on her, and the same is true for the survival competition, it can be said that if there is no Zhu Xiaoxiao, Long Xiangyuan's chances of winning the championship will be greatly reduced.
Zhu Xiaoxiao shook his head and said, "It's just that at that time, after resting for a while, that feeling slowly disappeared." ”
"Don't be in a hurry. Xia Yi thought of the scene when Yin Chuyu broke through the Nine Rank Realm, and he comforted Zhu Xiaoxiao and said: "Breaking through safely and steadily is of great benefit to you, first of all, remember to focus on safety!" Yiyun Chinese
If Yin Chuyu hadn't had Wu Liang by her side to protect the Dharma, she would have had a vision when she broke through, and it was very likely that she would have rebelled against Yin Chuyu during the critical period of the breakthrough. Fortunately, Wu Liang was by his side to protect the Dharma, but fortunately, there was no accident at that time, which allowed Yin Chuyu to safely break through the realm of the Nine Grades.
Zhu Xiaoxiao didn't have too much to worry about, she looked at Xia Yi with a smile and said, "There are so many people here to help me 'protect the Fa', it's safe for him to break through the Eight Rank Realm, okay?"
Xia Yi smiled dumbly.
Indeed, around Wutai, I don't know how many nine-rank martial artists are secretly maintaining order, and I don't know how many great grandmasters of the "Martial Spirit Returning to One" realm are secretly protecting the ministers of the court and the royal family who are watching the battle, as long as one of them comes out, they can save Zhu Xiaoxiao in danger.
"However, I haven't helped the academy win the individual championship yet, so I won't break through the eight-rank realm!" Zhu Xiaoxiao's pretty face was full of confidence, who knew that she turned her face and looked at Xia Yi beside her, and said with a smile: "Anyway, with you in the academy, if there is no way to break through, I will find you and ask you to help me break through the realm!"
Xia Yi knew that Zhu Xiaoxiao was ridiculing his physique of "helping others break through", in fact, he didn't want to do this, who knows why those guys began to break through in retreat after listening to their words, Xia Yi still can't figure it out, it can only be attributed to the fact that those guys have already reached the edge of breakthrough, but he helped them push them and let them step into the threshold.
"Even if you come to me, I'm not sure I can help you, you better take the path of cultivation honestly, don't always think about those crooked ways, there is nothing good for your martial arts cultivation. Xia Yi said solemnly what only the elders of the Discipline Hall would say.
Zhu Xiaoxiao stretched out a slender little finger, stretched it into his ear and turned it gently, pretending to be casual.
Xia Yi looked at Zhu Xiaoxiao's appearance of pretending to be stupid, and he couldn't help but itch his teeth.
"Xia Yi, who do you think will win this game?" Zhu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but smile and asked Xia Yi a question as if he was fine.
At this time, Yin Chuyu and Xia Ye walked over from the side and happened to hear Zhu Xiaoxiao's question.
Xia Yi and Yin Chuyu glanced at each other, and they both saw the same look in each other's eyes.
"If I had to say, I'm afraid this game would have been won by Eichino. Xia Yi recalled in his mind the way Ying Yinuo was fully exerting the strength of the Nine Rank Realm, and said softly.
"Huh??!"
Xia Yi's answer caused a wave of surprise around him. They all thought that Xia Yi would choose Chu Hongjiao as the winner, after all, the prestige of predicting the number one ranking is still very big, and Chu Hongjiao has shown crushing strength in previous games, which has left a deep impression, and almost most of them are optimistic about Chu Hongjiao.
Xia Yi sighed in his heart, and said in his heart that you have never seen the crazy side of Ying Yinuo.
"Don't always think that the players of the three academies are inherently superior to the players of other academies, in fact, some players are not inferior in talent to the players of the three academies, and even compared to the top players, their strength will not be too different. ”
Xia Yi felt that it was necessary to teach these guys around him a lesson, lest they all feel that they were students of the three major academies, and they would be more than a cow, looking down on this and despising that one by one, and really forgetting how many catties and taels they had.
