Chapter 198, human nature is difficult to move, and a sword strikes out to shock the heroes
Before coming, the seniors of the sect had already read out the general rules of the Xianmen Conference, in fact, even if they were not read, since the previous sessions, most of the monks who came to participate in the Xianmen Conference also knew about it.
Those who should be black hands are not bound by the rules, and those who are above board will not harm others for the sake of a victory.
It's the way this competition is conducted, and it's a little unusual.
The competition during the foundation building period is divided into four rounds, the first three rounds of screening, and the last round of rankings.
The first round was a scuffle, in which the disciples of each sect were disrupted and thrown onto four identical platforms, and falling off the platform was declared a failure. As for the opponents on the platform and how many disciples there are in the same sect, they are all resigned to fate, and they can't be faked.
When the total number of monks on the four platforms reaches half of the total number of monks, the first round is over.
The winner will naturally advance to the second round.
The second round is a number of draw-style one-on-one battles, and the round is not over until the last ten people remain.
In the third round, the ten winners of the second round are the ringmasters, and the monks who lost in the last duel of the second round have a chance to challenge them, and the winner takes his place, and the loser leaves the ring. And the defeated person must not challenge the person who defeated him, and if he wants to return to the ring again, he must challenge the other people in the ring.
The fourth round is a battle for rankings.
This last round was not only not as mild as others thought, but also very intense.
Those who can stay in the third round of the battle are basically disciples in the late stage of foundation building and at the peak, and these disciples often don't take long to move towards Jindan and become the real Jindan in the mouths of others.
There are thousands of Taoism, and the foundation building period may not be able to use that kind of esoteric Taoism, but the Jindan period and the foundation building period are completely two concepts, and at this stage, the monks begin to contact the power of the law.
Therefore, the fourth round of ranking evaluation is to see how well these disciples have comprehended.
In previous years, the top of the foundation building period were all geniuses who comprehended a Dao method in just a few days or months, or touched the threshold of a certain law.
The competition in the Jindan period had already begun in the Cave Heaven, and Chu Li and their foundation-building disciples were also assigned to different competition platforms.
The evil sword was clenched in his palm, and Chu Li fixed his eyes to see it, only to feel that his luck had always been weird.
As luck would have it, there were only two of the hundreds of people on this stage.
said that luck is not good, in addition to an old acquaintance Xiao Zhuyue, the other is Qin Nuo, who is good friends with him.
The two of them obviously discovered this as well, and after the competition began, they leaned towards them intentionally or unintentionally, just because she was unlucky enough to be in the center of the battlefield.
The various sects are fighting, and the purpose of the Tianze Sect is to never give up on any disciple.
Although, Chu Li is not uncommon with Xiao Zhuyue's combat power.
But at this time, the situation was special, and Chu Li had no choice but to fight side by side with her for the time being.
"The universe moves, and the sword returns to the heart."
"Townβ"
Seeing that she was about to fall into the battlefield, Chu Li directly pinched the sword trick and suppressed it with a sword, only to see that the ground around her was directly cracking inch by inch with this sword, and the sword intent was awe-inspiring between the gaps, surging disorderly.
The spiritual power of the long sword that was firmly rooted in the ground suddenly appeared, condensing into a protective layer, completely isolating Chu Li from this side of the battlefield.
Occasionally, a few monks who had thoughts about Chu Li rushed to the front, but they were directly overturned by this sword, and they staggered and fell off the test platform.
"Monk of Sword Artistic Conception!"
"Let's go first!"
ββ¦β¦β
Sure enough, bullying the soft and fearing the hard will always be a common problem for the vast majority of people.
After all, the first round is just a large-scale knockout round, and survivor bias exists in everyone's heart, and the kind of monk who may not be defeated if he has no great hatred, he will not provoke it.
Unless, that person really endangers his own interests.
Gradually, a circle of isolation layers formed around Chu Li, and within a square inch, outside the square circle, except for Xiao Zhuyue and Qin Nuo, who were still approaching, there was no one left.
"Senior Sister Qin." Chu Li got up and looked at Xiao Zhuyue on the other side, and his tone was close and dark, "Senior Sister Xiao." β
Xiao Zhuyue's eyebrows frowned slightly, Xu was aware of something, but he didn't know where Chu Li's estrangement from him came from.
After a long time, no one had any thoughts about him, so Qin Nuo simply chatted with Chu Li on guard: "There are twenty-five people in one sect and four rings, but there are only three of us." β
Chu Li pulled out the evil sword from the ground and said casually: "Isn't it good to think about it the other way around, after all, they don't want to look for our bad luck now, and the other competition platforms are more powerful than us, and it is not easy to be eliminated." β
"So we're just here watching?" Xiao Zhuyue interjected very inopportunely.
Chu Li and Qin Nuo glanced at each other, and they both saw puzzlement in each other's eyes.
A selfish person who will be sick at this time?
It is also possible to commit the disease of Our Lady of Dan Xiutong's disease.
Qin Nuo didn't believe it.
It's just that the two of them didn't know that Xiao Zhuyue almost fell into a demon because she failed to rescue Chu Li, and it was the Moon Worship True Monarch who modified Xiao Zhuyue's memory and asked her to say what she said later.
This pot should not have been buckled on Xiao Zhuyue's head.
Qin Nuo's face changed slightly, and Chu Li was afraid that she would say something sooner, so she spoke first: "The first round is over, we have to save our energy to deal with the next competition." If Senior Sister Xiao has any acquaintances who are in prison, we will also fight for Senior Sister Xiao, and what Senior Sister Xiao wants to do is to decide for ourselves. β
Chu Li's meaning is obvious, that is, if Xiao Zhuyue wants to help others, he will go by himself, and the two of them will not mix, at most they will only ensure that Xiao Zhuyue will not be attacked when he is helping others.
Xiao Zhuyue was very smart, so she naturally understood what Chu Li meant as soon as she heard it.
After hearing this, she didn't say anything, she picked up her spiritual weapon with a serious face and rushed into the battlefield, and everywhere she went, golden light shone everywhere, and the actions of countless monks froze for a moment.
"Did she really go?"
Qin Nuo was slightly surprised to communicate with Chu Li.
Chu Li stared at Xiao Zhuyue's back, and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Let's go and fight for her."
Qin Nuo deserved to be refreshed: "Okay, since you said so." β
"Scatter!"
Xiao Zhuyue held Xiao Ding in his hand, thought lightly in his mouth, and flew to the side of a female cultivator in a moment.
That female cultivator was a cultivator in the later stage of foundation building, and with the soft and indifferent aura on her body and the spiritual weapon of the imperial envoy, she quickly asked Chu Li and Qin Nuo to determine the identity of the female cultivator.
She is Dan Xiu from Danxin Pavilion.
It's just that Qin Nuo doesn't know, but Chu Li knows, the Moon Worship True Monarch and the Mercy True Monarch of Danxin Pavilion seem to be a little dirty, Xiao Zhuyue can put himself in the turmoil and come to help others.
"Xiao Daoyou." The female cultivator was obviously a little surprised, but after all, she was a genius disciple in the sect, and she adjusted her mentality in an instant, and fought side by side with Xiao Zhuyue.
After all, Xiao Zhuyue is an old foundation building peak monk, if it weren't for the immortal crossing the secret realm, he might have chosen to tie the pill a long time ago.
Even if it is Dan Xiu, his combat power is not comparable to that of ordinary foundation building monks.
With Xiao Zhuyue's joining, the female cultivator quickly repelled the monks who came to look for her, and successfully joined her senior brothers and sisters in her own sect.
Solving the current predicament, the female cultivator briefly saluted Chu Li and Qin Nuo: "Thank you two Daoists for sheltering on the flanks. β
"Not necessarily." Chu Li replied to the female cultivator indifferently, "Since we met, why don't we get together temporarily, how about it?" β
