Chapter 0226: Surrender Without a Fight
The second round of the competition was successfully concluded. There are no dark horses and no miracles. The 16 seeded players all advanced to the round of 32.
As for the other duels, although they are exciting, there is no dark horse phenomenon, basically the strong ones qualify, and the weak ones are helplessly eliminated.
Among the top 32, Tan Zhongchi's vein has a bumper harvest this time, and there are as many as seven!
Last year, Tan Zhongchi's vein of Qingyun Hall had only six places in the top 32. And this year, there are seven!
Among them, it is naturally because of the variable of Qin Wushuang.
You must know that even if it is the main hall master, there are only nine of them. The other 16 places were all divided among the other three halls.
The elders and the core disciples of the Dharma King were all eliminated.
After this round of competition, the situation has gradually begun to heat up. It's still a one-day recuperation period.
This one-day recuperation period gave many disciples a chance to buffer. This second round of battle made many disciples very exhausted.
...... In the main hall, Zhuo Buqun gathered all the nine disciples who had been promoted.
"Apprentices, do well, keep up the good work. Zhuo Buqun smiled and encouraged, "The results of our vein, we don't worry too much about the teacher, with your senior brother here, the final overall score will definitely not be bad." ”
Wei Yi smiled and said modestly: "Master, this is your teaching, otherwise you can't afford the incense of your vein alone." ”
"Well, you guys give it their all. This ranking tournament is held every year. Don't worry too much about temporary gains and losses, and if you really encounter an invincible opponent, don't risk your life to fight. so as not to hurt the harmony of the door. Yi'er, I believe that the hall masters of the other halls must also educate their disciples in this way, and when they meet you, they will automatically admit defeat. ”
When Zhuo Buqun said this, he smiled and said: "Of course, I came to you for the teacher today to tell you that if you have the strength to hit the top ten, you will go all out." If you can't reach the top ten, you must know how to judge the situation, in case you are too seriously injured during the competition, it will affect your cultivation next year. We in the Star Luo Palace, we respect a hundred flowers blooming, and I know that this time, you must be a little worried about the rise of the second hall master. But ......"
His eyes swept the circle sternly, and then he said slowly: "As I told Yi'er before, it is not spring to stand alone. In our vein, if we want to become the leader of the Star Luo Palace, we must rely on real strength, real means, and leadership temperament with both ability and political integrity to lead the direction of the Star Luo Palace. A lot of off-the-board moves, the teacher has never asked before, and in the future, you will have to be self-contained. ”
Those disciples had obviously been greeted by Wei Yi in advance, knowing that the master knew something about their actions in Vientiane Valley and Lingyun Main Peak, and they were all ashamed to hear the master mention it.
"Originally, I should not have told you this. At the very least, the teacher should have come after the ranking match before calling you over. However, I changed my mind for the time being. Do you know why the teacher changed his mind?"
Wei Yi was stared at by Zhuo Buqun, thought for a moment, and shook his head helplessly: "The disciple can't think of it." ”
Zhuo Buqun sighed: "Without him, just because Shizun was watching the battle above the martial arts platform today, he heard two sentences, two sentences from the second hall master's vein Qin Wushuang. He said that there is no strength or weakness in sword moves, and there are high and low realms. He said that the gentleman and villain are not in swordsmanship, but in heart. ”
"Yi'er, the theory of the realm, I already mentioned it to you last time. The height determines your vision, the vision determines your mind, and the mind will determine your realm. ”
"That Qin Wushuang has already shown his height in the realm on today's martial arts stage, this is a completely different Qin Wushuang from the killing ring in the subordinate country. As the teacher can see, this son's temperament has been shaping and moving in the direction of perfection. He said that he was competing with Xia Feihong today, obviously he could hurt the enemy, but at the last moment, he skillfully controlled the sword qi, which made Xia Feihong convinced and worshipped. This is the realm. Win people with swords, and convince people with virtue. ”
When Xia Feihong scolded him for not being a gentleman's sword, he was able to defeat Xia Feihong with such a means of repaying grievances with virtue. From then on, that Xia Feihong would inevitably become Qin Wushuang's diehard. This is also the realm!"
Zhuo Buqun talked eloquently, and Wei Yi and other disciples all listened with solemn expressions and sweated nonstop.
Especially Wei Yi, thinking of the battle with Xia Feihong last year, he knocked Xia Feihong from power. Although in terms of strength, it does make the other party have to obey.
But from the bottom of his heart, Xia Feihong may not really worship him. Because, in that battle, he Wei Yi did not convince people with virtue. There is no way to make Xia Feihong grateful.
"Okay, let's go back and think about it. It is said that it is a truce, and each understands it. Zhuo Buqun smiled freely and waved for everyone to disband.
These disciples were about to walk away, but Wei Yi suddenly asked, "Master, in your guess, how many people can this Qin Wushuang go to in the end?"
"As far as I can guess, if he doesn't meet you in advance, it will be a sure thing to break into the top ten. Zhuo Buqun glanced at Wei Yi meaningfully, "Yi'er, the ranking is a false name after all, if you can't even let go of the ranking competition, then the future battle between you and Qin Wushuang is really not optimistic about you as a teacher." ”
Wei Yi was speechless, he was promoted from a senior disciple to a core disciple in his first year, ranking eleventh. Therefore, he really wanted to know that this Qin Wushuang was also the first year to enter the ranks of core disciples, and how many places he could rush to.
In the end, he still couldn't let go of the momentary competitive. Hearing Shizun sigh like this, I couldn't help but feel shocked and ashamed.
In his memory, Shizun had never spoken to him in such a tone, could it be that his performance had really disappointed Shizun so much?
He didn't know that Zhuo Buqun was deeply loved and responsible.
After all, the innate spiritual root is only one of his Wei Yi in the Star Luo Palace. This kind of talent and talent, even if you come to excel yourself, you don't have it. With such a disciple, he naturally hoped that Wei Yi would be able to make great achievements, and in the future, his cultivation would surpass his extraordinary, lead the Star Luo Palace, and lead the Great Luo Empire to flourish.
If he could, Zhuo Buqun would rather Wei Yi have a defeat in the core disciple ranking competition of the Star Luo Palace.
Perhaps, after a defeat, Wei Yi can really understand what the realm is.
And he has always stood at the pinnacle of the younger generation, and any language teaching is pale after all, unconvincing, and unforgettable.
It's just that this defeat, Zhuo Buqun has never been able to wait. This year, it is clear that it is no longer possible.
"Perhaps, after three or five years, when Qin Wushuang grows up, he can let Yi'er try the taste of a defeated general. Hehe, it's just that I think like this, if I let several other hall masters know, I will definitely think that my elbow is turned out, how can I hope that my disciple will be defeat......ed?
Zhuo Buqun smiled helplessly, in the entire Star Luo Palace, there are many masters, and the five hall masters are all rare good players, and they are all high-spirit martial artists. Although the other four hall masters are not much worse than him in terms of strength, many times, Zhuo Buqun still has a feeling that he is a little high and low, and it is difficult to find a bosom friend.
He also knew that they were not to blame. The other four hall masters are not in his position as the hall master, so they can look at many problems from the height of this position.
After a break, the third round of the game was in full swing.
This time, there were only thirty-two core disciples left. Today, sixteen more people will be eliminated from the competition.
"In this round, seeded players no longer enjoy special offers. All the participating disciples are equal! The signs hit together, and the two drew out in pairs, and they were opponents of each other. In other words, the principle of avoidance is no longer adopted between seeded players. In this round, the seeded players will definitely appear!"
The hall master smiled and waved his arms: "You guys, are you all ready?"
"Ready!" replied Qi Shushu.
"Okay, the game is here, so we don't have to talk nonsense. Your signatures are all in it, and it is still the five hall masters who take turns to draw the signatures. For every two drawn, it's an opponent. ”
The main hall master waved his hand and asked Tian Zhixing, the fifth hall master, to step forward.
The signing was quickly decided.
Qin Wushuang still didn't encounter a seeded player in this round.
His opponent was a disciple who ranked twenty-sixth last year. Qin Wushuang glanced at it, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked.
"How could it be so coincidental?" Qin Wushuang smiled bitterly.
This person, Qin Wushuang judged from his body shape and weapon that the opponent in front of him was his opponent in the last round of the gambling ring.
If I remember correctly, that person should be in the line of the main hall master.
Obviously, that person also recognized Qin Wushuang, the Qiushui Sword behind Qin Wushuang, and the snake-shaped soft whip, all made too much impression on him.
The last time he was defeated, he had nothing to say, it could almost be said that he was swept by Qin Wushuang, no matter how he deduced it afterwards, he assumed countless possible castes. But in the end, he was sad to find that he couldn't shake Qin Wushuang's defenses at all, let alone avoid his ghost-like finger sword!
And this opponent who made him powerless was Qin Wushuang, the superlative person who had been praised by Shizun just the night before and pushed him to Senior Brother Wei Yi side by side.
The admonition of the master is endless. This twenty-sixth sighed, deduced again in his heart, kept assuming, and finally sadly found that no matter which one he compared, he could not shake Qin Wushuang's absolute superiority at all.
"If you can't reach the top ten, you must know how to judge the situation, in case you are too seriously injured during the competition, it will affect your cultivation ...... next year."
The teacher's teachings seem to still linger in his ears.
No. 26 shook his head helplessly, walked straight to the referee, and sighed helplessly: "Mr. Deacon, I admit defeat in this battle." ”
"Admit defeat?" the referee deacon couldn't help but be stunned.
