After arranging all the loot extensively, there was still plenty of time, so Ling Xiao started the pot and picked some novel spiritual food from the loot to cook.

[There are so many ingredients that I haven't seen before! 】

The green tree was amazed.

"This kind of fish is relatively soft, so it should be steamed directly, right?"

Ling Xiao muttered to himself.

[I don't know if it's new or not, I feel that chopped pepper is more secure. 】

Biqingshu suggested.

"If you chop peppers, you should use ......"

One person and one tree kept exchanging cooking methods, and after about two hours of busy work, a large table of food was baked. After eating, Ling Xiao drank a sip of spirit wine, touched his round belly, and fell asleep comfortably against the green tree.

End of the first day.

……

Midnight.

Ling Xiao woke up five minutes early, yawned, stretched, brushed his teeth, washed his face, did a few warm-up exercises, and then jumped out of the cave.

The space created by the illusion is extremely human, and there is a change of sun and stars like the outside world. At this moment, the infinite deep space is dotted with shining spots one after another, sprinkling ethereal and holy starlight.

Ling Xiao stood quietly among the stars, counting down and waiting.

As soon as it was past midnight, the indifferent voice of the organizer resounded through the world.

"Second match, go!"

"The match is over, please draw your spot."

A curtain of light appeared in front of Ling Xiao's eyes, with numbers 1 to 23 on it, and after a little hesitation, many numbers had dimmed.

[Now there are 23 contestants with only one star left, they have to choose the contestant with the highest number of stars to challenge, this is the last chance, if you lose, you will be eliminated completely!] 】

[Every two rounds, there will be a separate matchmaking mechanism like this!] 】

[Hurry up, this is a benefit to the strong!] 】

[However, there are also cases where the strong capsize in the gutter! ] 】

The surrounding trees laughed and said the rules.

Ling Xiao suddenly realized.

That being the case, it also means that the number of stars of oneself is in the top 23 of all contestants?

Facing a player with only one star left is really a benefit for the strong. But for the unlucky guy who only has one star left, it's too cruel.

Ling Xiao no longer hesitated, casually, and chose No. 14.

As all the signings were selected, the light curtain disappeared immediately.

Then there was a few minutes of waiting, and the light and shadow changed again in front of Ling Xiao's eyes, and an illusory door emitting a starry light appeared.

He didn't hesitate and pushed the door in.

With a single glance, he saw the incomparably large planet in front of him, emitting a pale yellow glow.

"It's ......"

He was speechless, and suddenly realized that he was on the ring of this planet.

Large and small, all kinds of rocks float in the universe, forming an even larger disk around this huge planet, and the stones are bathed in the light reflected by the planet, but they seem so lonely.

The extremely shocking scene made Ling Xiao speechless for a long time.

He really had the illusion that the moment he pushed the door in just now, it seemed that he had crossed a wormhole and arrived at the other side of the sea of stars.

Just when he was stunned, something happened suddenly!

An insidious sword light flashed out from behind a certain gravel, slamming into Ling Xiao's defenseless back with tyrannical killing intent!

Ling Xiao came back to his senses in an instant, snorted coldly, and with an extra pair of eight-edged golden hammers in his hand, he waved the violent and dull sound of the wind, and slammed it hard!

While!

With a loud bang, the sword light flew out upside down, and the person behind the gravel let out a muffled snort, suffering a dark loss under the extreme weight of the golden hammer.

Ling Xiao was unforgiving, and the war shadow was unleashed, bullying the huge gravel like a ghost, and the double hammer danced like a whirlwind, smashing his head and covering his face.

Double hammer, to crush people!

Even though Ling Xiao hadn't learned any hammer martial arts, just swinging it with a hard bridge and a hard horse was already powerful enough!

With a "bang", this huge gravel immediately burst, and the eight-edged golden hammer did not weaken in the slightest, and hammered at the opponent fiercely.

The opponent didn't expect Ling Xiao's tactics to be so violent and direct, and while he was hurriedly parrying, he sacrificed his retreat, wanting to distance himself.

However, this rocky space is undoubtedly the natural home of the War Shadow Body Method, and Ling Xiao stepped on the stone to chase it, like a bone appendage, never seven feet away from the opponent.

The opponent was terrified.

He was not a forging monk, and even after adjusting the balance, he couldn't adapt to the fighting style of the forging monk, and he couldn't close the distance at the moment, so he lost the last chance to turn the situation around.

Seeing that he was getting more and more hurried and dangerous, this man finally said urgently: "Don't, I admit defeat!" I threw in the towel! ”

"Throw in the towel?"

Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows, but his subordinates did not stop at all, and sneered: "Why haven't I heard that you can admit defeat?" ”

The opponent was dumbfounded.

Big brother, were you really in a daze just now?

The organizers have clearly said the rules, okay?

Fortunately, the organizer was fair, and in the next second, a soft force brushed by, and Ling Xiao's double hammer was like falling into a mire, and it was difficult to move.

The opponent took the opportunity to distance himself, broke out in a cold sweat, and looked at Ling Xiao in horror.

"No. 41 admits defeat, No. 14 wins!"

The organizers announced the results of the contest without emotion.

Ling Xiao saw the last star above his opponent's head dim, and the latter suddenly showed a depressed expression, and glanced at Ling Xiao with a complicated gaze, with a vague envy in his eyes.

Immediately, the stars shone brightly, took the person away, and disappeared.

Behind Ling Xiao, a Starlight Gate also appeared.

However, Ling Xiao didn't rush to push the door and leave, staring at the huge star, feeling the vastness and greatness of the universe, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Although he knew that the huge stars in front of him were illusions, he couldn't help it, it was too realistic.

"We've been to space, too!"

He grinned, took one last look at the star, and imprinted the shocking scene in his mind before pushing the door open.

[Come back!] 】

[It's all very simple! 】

[The simple price is that you can only get one star at most in this round, and the number of stars of others has a chance to catch up.] 】

Ling Xiao nodded secretly.

It makes sense.

A simple round is almost life-threatening, but the number of stars obtained is not that much compared to a normal match.

For example, if you win all five rounds of the first matching level, you can win 20 stars!

"If you want to stay at the top, can you only earn a higher limit of stars in normal matchmaking?"

He muttered to himself.

This test is really harsh!

After a while, Ling Xiao shook his head, didn't think about it anymore, and returned to the Cave Heaven Blessed Land to treat himself to a delicious meal.

The rest of the time, Ling Xiao was immersed in the drawing of the talisman.

[Good boy, it's time to have a leisure talisman! ] 】

[Hehe, for him, talisman making is a kind of relaxation. 】

Biqing and Qingluan laughed and talked.

Ling Xiao was engrossed in the end of the pen, enjoying the ease and pleasure of the resonance of mana and rune ink, just as Qing Luanshu said, the mechanical swing brought him a strange kind of relaxation.

It wasn't until there were only two hours left before midnight that Ling Xiao put down his pen, put away a drawn military talisman, jumped out of the cave, and sat cross-legged to recover.

Midnight's footsteps approached again.

"Third match, let's go!"

"Matchmaking ends."

The yellow light and shadow swept in, drowning Ling Xiao's figure.

After a whirlwind, he sat down on the ground again under his buttocks, the wind howled in his ears, rolling up the sand and dust, he subconsciously glanced around, and his gaze was fixed.

On the Gobi Desert filled with yellow sand, the delicate and graceful figure stood in a pavilion, looking back in astonishment.

The wind blew, and her thin figure trembled faintly as if a gust of wind could blow it away.
