Chapter 21: Solo Competition
"What did you do to keep you where you were?" Huo Qianheng walked in, frowned and asked. "What's going on with the Four Immortal Leaves?"
"Brother Huo, I'm honestly staying where I am, I'm mentally ready for zero points, this really doesn't do my business." Mu Shan took a step back cowardly.
Qiao Wen also weakly took a step back.
"It really has nothing to do with them. Don't worry, even if I rob it, I will convince people with reason and will not fight. Jiang Ru said without changing her face. In the afternoon, there will be a competition, I will withdraw first, and you can talk slowly. ”
Resolutely not giving Huo Qianheng a chance to count her down, Jiang Ruyi turned around and left, just right, although Huo Qianheng was stunned, he didn't want to quarrel again in front of everyone.
As the first place that won the first place and should be celebrated the most, the four of them had a strange and quiet atmosphere and returned to the dormitory together.
In the afternoon, there was a single competition, and there were two major arenas according to the age group. Twenty years old and under the novice field, 20 years old and above are the main field. Jiang Ruyi, Huo Qianheng and Qiao Wen are all in the novice field, only Mu Shan, who is twenty-two this year, was assigned to the main field.
"It's not fair! Why should I go to the main field, Brother Huo has such a strong strength, but he can survive in the budding new pile, I am not convinced. I'm just practicing qi, what the hell am I doing wrong? Mu Shan looked at the cards in his hand and intuitively felt that the future was dark.
"Actually, twenty years old is the best node, although it is more risky, but I am stuck." Qiao Wen looked at the number plate in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction.
With his strength in the novice field, he can at least enter the top twenty, he was in a good mood, turned his head and comforted Mu Shan: "There are so many teams with zero points in the first half today, and we are the first place again, don't worry, even if you are beaten down as soon as you play, it is not a big problem, you can enter the sect." ”
"Is this a question of whether you can enter the sect or not? You Mu Ye was beaten down in the first round, didn't he lose face? Mu Shan is still lingering.
Jiang Ruyi watched from the side and couldn't help but sobbed his mouth. She had never entered the sect before, and her cultivation was a peerless existence, so she really couldn't understand the complex emotions of Mu Shan and Qiao Wen.
The game started quickly, Jiang Ruyi's opponent in the first and second games was three levels lower than her, and she cleared the customs directly, and the opponent in the third game was similar to her, and she also cleared the customs smoothly.
As for Huo Qianheng, where is his strength, no one is his opponent.
"With such a talented and intelligent seedling, the head of the Jiang family is really blessed!" The peak masters on the stage who deliberately wanted to accept Jiang Ruyi and Huo Qianheng were close to Jiang Yunqi with a smile.
Even if you can't get used to Jiang Yunqi's arrogance, and then despise Jiang Ruyi's methods in the first half, when it comes to choosing disciples, everyone tacitly loses their memory. There's no way, such a talented seedling, if you don't choose it, someone will always choose. Rather than waiting for others to choose and leave, and then suppressing oneself in the disciple assessment, it is better to strike first.
"Haha, Zhiyi has been naughty since childhood, embarrassed and useful, and the peak masters have praised it." Jiang Yunqiquan didn't understand the meaning of the words, and laughed twice.
He turned his head sideways, and in the midst of the gag with everyone, his eyes met the Aoki Peak Lord for a moment, and he nodded inadvertently.
Off the stage, the game has entered the white-hot fifth game, ten into five, and the winner will enter the final game to compete for the top five rankings. The ranking scores will be counted separately in the two arenas, and then the scores of the first half of the competition will be combined, and the top ten in the final comprehensive score will be the top ten in the Shangmingzong examination.
"I actually made it to the fifth game, I- Do I have a chance to finish in the top 10?" Qiao Wen looked at the race number in his hand, blushing, and his emotions were unbelievable.
"Don't be too happy, take a closer look at the lottery numbers in your hand!" Jiang Ruyi didn't want to splash him with cold water, but the truth was so cruel.
"I'm number two, aren't you number five? We don't-" Before the word "the same thing came out", Qiao Wen followed the direction of her finger and saw the bright No. 2 plate in Huo Qianheng's hand.
"Huo-Huo Xianyou, why is No. 2 you?" The joy on his face had not yet dissipated, and he was slapped on the head and directly beaten back to his original form.
He watched as his dream of being named the top ten shattered in front of him.
How can this be fought! Qiao Wen wanted to cry without tears. "Why do you remind me so early, it's good for me to dream a little longer."
"Recognize the reality, come on for the game, I'm optimistic about you." Jiang Ruyi gave him an encouraging look.
It's a pity that the difference in strength is too big, and on the field, Qiao Wen is not Huo Qianheng's opponent at all, and he was directly out of the game with one move.
is ruthless enough, and there is no trace of teammate affection.
When Jiang Ruyi came on the field, she was also a second-layer monk on the other side.
"I know who you are, and I don't want to hurt you, but you're no match for me. The sword has no eyes on the playing field, I will not show mercy, you have to be careful. ”
Jiang Ruyi raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, building the second layer of the foundation, it is not impossible to fight hard, but it is just ......
She dodged her opponent's tentative move sideways, spun somersawells, and landed off the field without any delay.
"You—" The man's expression was stunned, he didn't expect it to happen.
"Congratulations." Jiang Ruyi calmed down and said congratulations.
At the same time, the Elder announced the results of the fifth game in public.
Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief, they really didn't expect Jiang Ruyi to take the initiative to quit. After all, in their eyes, this should be a threat with his identity, forcing the opponent to submit, and then winning the game himself. And the few people who entered the finals and were beaten out of the game regretted it even more at the moment, because before they drew lots, they all prayed that they would not win Jiang Ruyi.
In the complicated eyes of everyone, Jiang Ruyi sat back in her seat like a person who had nothing to do.
"You actually took the initiative to get out?" Qiao Wen asked incredulously.
"It's hard to fight, and I don't want to do it." Jiang Ruyi said indifferently. This kind of ranking is just good for her, it doesn't matter at all, and even if she is tired and tired to win, she still has to work hard to compete for the top five, which is too hard and not cost-effective at all.
"Then you said it earlier, I said it earlier, and I would have blessed you!" Qiao Wen had a bitter look on his face. "Maybe it won't be the same."
hehe
Jiang Ruyi twitched the corner of her mouth speechlessly. "Blame me for not telling you sooner."
The two of them, you and I said a word, Huo Qianheng sat on the side and listened casually, a deep thought flashed in his eyes, but he relaxed slightly.
On the court, with the end of the fifth game, everyone took a short break and ushered in the final round. The final is a ring battle, and the lowest cultivation is the first to stand on the field, and the others are challenged in turn. Without any suspense, Huo Qianheng came out at the end and won with one move, becoming the first place in the novice field.
As for the final announced comprehensive results, Huo Qianheng deservedly ranked first, the second place was Su Luo, Jiang Ruyi didn't know him, he only knew that he was the first place in the main field, and the third place was Mu Zifeng. Later, thanks to the bonus of the first place in the first half, Qiao Wen was eighth, and Jiang Ruyi was tenth. As expected, Mu Shan did not pass the first round, but he was also within the top 100 and entered the outer door.
