Chapter 69: I'm optimistic about him too
When the word "lose" was spit out, the resentment in Gu Nian's heart seemed to be poured out, and the fluctuating emotions seemed to be soothed.
However, he had cursed Qiu Fei thousands of times in his heart.
This kid is really a monkey spirit.
When you are sure, you will bet hard, and once you have no bottom, be cautious.
I don't believe you can win every time.
Wu Hexi and Ning Liqiu also joined in, each took out a hundred lower grade spirit stones, and followed Qiu Fei to bet on Liu Zhuojiu to win.
This action directly made Gu Nian's face turn green with anger.
However, the result of the competition was unexpected.
Liu's luck seems to have run out before the round-robin.
He fought with his opponent for less than half an hour before his opponent grabbed a chance and punched him in the chest, knocking him out of the ring.
In this situation, where is there still a trace of his bravery in the previous game?
"Dio!"
Wu Hexi and Ning Liqiu immediately blurted out and scolded, and they almost jumped up.
"Take!"
Gu Nian swept away the negative emotions that had just been depressed, and was in a good mood, "Brother Qiu, your good luck doesn't seem to bring you good luck!" ”
After that, he swept the bets of the three to his side, so unexpected.
Qiu Fei frowned.
Hearing this, he was stunned, and then he smiled, "It's just a game, there's no need to be so serious." However, I'm optimistic about his next game. ”
"What do you mean......"
Gu Nian was obviously stunned, and asked Chi Qian: "Will Liu Xunjiu stand out from the tenth group, beat the other four, and get the place of inner disciples?" ”
"Three out of five, is this probability very low?"
Qiu Fei asked rhetorically.
The probability of selecting three people out of five is indeed not low.
In a round-robin match.
There are five players in each group, and a total of ten matches are played.
Each contestant has four races, and in order to finish in the top three, theoretically, they need to win at least two of them.
But this kind of confrontational competition is very accidental.
Most of the contestants are Hidden Yuan Realm Ninefold, and no one is absolutely sure to defeat their opponents, and in the process of confrontation, it is inevitable that there will be no accidents.
In this way, there will be a situation where the results of the five people are entangled with each other.
To this end, in order to ensure the fairness and impartiality of the competition, the best inner disciples are selected, and in the case of the same score, the relationship between the winners and losers will be first taken into account.
Then, the time of the match is then referenced.
These tiny details can often make the difference in a contestant's life.
Therefore, after entering the round-robin, the contestants want to beat their opponents in a short period of time and have a psychological advantage.
In this case, the intensity of the competition can be imagined.
Judging from the first game, all the contestants did just that.
As soon as the third game began, the atmosphere became solemn.
The fifth person with a bye in the first two games finally appeared.
After a game in the first four people, this person waited for work and completely occupied an absolute advantage in terms of physical fitness and internal strength.
When Liu Xunjiu walked into the ring again, Gu Nian laughed "ha", "Qiu Fei, are you still optimistic about Liu Xunjiu?" ”
As he spoke, he threw out five medium-grade spirit stones with a "snap", and said rampantly: "Qiu Fei, aren't you optimistic about his next game?" I'm betting on him to lose! ”
Wu Hexi and Ning Liqiu each took out two hundred lower grade spirit stones, and followed Gu Nian to bet on Liu Xun's wine to lose.
"I'm still optimistic about Liu Xunjiu."
Qiu Fei smiled and took out nine medium-grade spirit stones, "He must win this game, otherwise, he will be very passive in the next game." ”
In the ring, after half an hour's rest, Liu Xunjiu's face was still tired, in stark contrast to the opponent's confident expression.
When the tournament supervisor announced the start of the game, the two got tangled together.
The opponent's offensive was very fierce, and Liu Zhuojiu still behaved as sluggishly as in the knockout round, defending more than attacking.
However, his defense was much better than in the previous game.
Occasionally, he would launch a few attacks at his opponents, but they all pale and did not put any pressure on them.
On the contrary, the opponent's offensive became more and more fierce, and it seemed that the next moment, Liu Xunjiu would be knocked down.
Seeing this situation, the smiles on the faces of Gu Nian and the others became brighter and brighter, and their eyes glanced at the nine medium-grade spirit stones beside Qiu Fei from time to time.
It seems that they are already in the pocket of the trio.
With the passage of time, Liu Xunjiu's situation has not changed in the slightest.
He's been trying to defend all the time, and he looks very embarrassed, and he looks like he's going to lie down in minutes.
But his opponent never managed to take advantage of the opportunity to take him down in one fell swoop.
After a long period of attack, the opponent's mood was greatly affected and gradually became agitated.
At this moment, the competition supervisor suddenly spoke: "Thirty breaths, countdown." ”
At the beginning of the countdown, it means that the game has entered the countdown stage.
Within thirty breaths, if the two do not decide the winner, the match supervisor will exercise his right to supervise and declare one of them the winner.
As soon as these words came out, the situation on the field changed greatly.
Liu Xunjiu immediately seemed to have changed as if he had changed into a different person, and a powerful aura erupted from his body, changing his defensive posture and taking the lead in launching an offensive.
He rushed to his opponent.
This rush is as fast as a tiger descending the mountain, extremely fast.
Qiu Fei only felt a flower in front of him, leaving an illusory afterimage in front of his vision.
I couldn't help but blink.
Look at it again.
Liu Xunjiu had already rushed in front of his opponent.
A palm knife slashed down in the air and slashed straight at the opponent's neck.
It's too fast!
It was so fast that the opponent didn't have time to react at all, and was slashed to the ground by this palm knife on the spot.
Not even a sound sounded.
One shot kills the opponent in seconds!
This speed, this skill, it's simply amazing.
Liu Xunjiu finally revealed his true background.
"Huh?"
This sudden reversal against the sky shocked Gu Nian, Wu Hexi, and Ning Liqiu, and they exclaimed at the same time.
All three of them widened their eyes, unable to believe what was happening in front of them.
Lu Zhonghe was also shocked and shouted: "Ciao! Ghost Walk! ”
Gu Nian reacted first, and hurriedly asked, "Senior Brother Lu, what kind of ghost shadow step?" ”
"A brilliant set of footwork."
Lu Zhonghe explained: "It belongs to the advanced level of the Yellow Order, and I heard that there are one hundred and eight kinds of footwork alone, which are intricate, very complicated, and extremely difficult to practice.
I didn't expect Liu Xunjiu, this kid to practice, look at his speed, he should have practiced to more than seven levels.
If you practice to the ninth level, the speed can increase by more than three times by continuous stacking. ”
"So powerful?"
When Gu Nian, Wu Hexi, and Ning Liqiu heard this, their eyes immediately showed envy.
Qiu Fei did not agree with Lu Zhonghe's statement in his heart.
Lu Zhonghe couldn't see the true realm of Liu Xunjiu, it was normal to think like this.
Liu Xunjiu may have learned the Ghost Shadow Step, and it did increase his speed, but he was able to defeat his opponent in the end, relying on his true qi after reaching the Insight Realm.
And the emergence of true qi is the watershed between cultivators and ordinary people.
This is also the reason why people call the Insight Realm a true cultivator.
With this wisp of true qi in his body, Liu Xunjiu could easily burst out with huge power, and with the speed of the ghost shadow step, it was easy to defeat the opponent.
It seems that Liu Xunjiu still wants to play the old routine of the knockout round to the end, and fantasizes about continuing to confuse his opponent.
"Take! Concession! ”
Qiu Fei smiled and collected all the bets of Gu Nian and the three of them in front of him, and also showed a look of money fandom.
Seeing Qiu Fei's smiling appearance, Gu Nian only hated the root of his teeth in his heart, but he couldn't squeak, so he could only stare dryly.
Seeing that their spirit stones were won away by Qiu Fei, Wu Hexi and Ning Liqiu's faces fell, and they were depressed and depressed.
Qiu Fei didn't care so much, put all the spirit stones in the storage bag.
Then, he pointed to the two contestants who were playing in the No. 1 ring and said, "These two contestants, I am more optimistic about the white-shirted senior brother."
Three, do you want to bet on ...... again?"
"Not coming."
Ning Liqiu and Wu Hexi waved their hands at the same time, saying in unison, "If I lose again, I won't even have enough points to sit in the teleportation array." ”
It seems that the life of the two of them in the sect is not as comfortable and comfortable as Gu Nian.
Qiu Fei deliberately smiled: "The three of you are now leading the inner disciples, and you are much richer than me!" ”
"So what?"
Ning Liqiu sighed lightly, "There are a total of twelve people in the Lingyin Peak team, and they are a lot higher than us in terms of strength and realm.
So how can a little bit of resources be enough for us to cultivate? It is not allowed to take on sect tasks every day to earn sect points. ”
"Are you so tired?"
Qiu Fei asked curiously, "Didn't the three of you sign up for this sect competition and go to the first round?" ”
"The first round of scuffle was wiped out."
Wu Hexi scolded lightly, "Thirty people rushed over in a honeycomb, aren't you afraid?" There is no other way but to quit. ”
"You guys didn't join the team?"
Qiu Fei asked.
"Plus!"
Ning Liqiu said angrily: "People don't look down on us new disciples at all, and they don't care about it at all. We had to form a three-person team. ”
Ning Liqiu didn't say any more, the ending was already there.
"With our cultivation qualifications, even if we don't advance to the inner disciple in the next year, we can still become an inner disciple if we break through the Cave Ming Realm."
Gu Nian was quite unconvinced.
Qiu Fei sneered in his heart.
Breaking through the Cave Realm in two years, dreaming, right?
The Insight Realm is a watershed between cultivators and ordinary people, crossing the past, all the way to a smooth road, and becoming a true cultivator from then on.
And those who can't cross over can only accept the fate of ordinary people.
As he spoke, the white-shirted contestant in Ring 1 was hit in the shoulder by a punch from his opponent, and his body shook and he took several steps backwards.
Before he could stand firm, his opponent had already rushed up quickly, and it was a rush of wind and punches.
Recruitment style.
Fist to flesh.
Under this attack, the white-shirts finally couldn't bear it, and they were knocked to the ground and couldn't get up.
Just as his opponent was about to rush forward to attack again, he hurriedly raised his hand to signal that he would admit defeat.
The rules of the game are that when a team is knocked to the ground, once they admit defeat, the opponent cannot attack again.
Seeing this scene, Gu Nian's right hand slammed into his left palm, his face full of remorse.
After the third round, all 50 contestants have appeared.
Except for the three Dongming Realm contestants who rode the dust and led the others, the results of the rest of the groups had their own wins and losses, and they were in a stalemate.
After the start of the fourth round, Gu Nian suddenly pointed to a person in the No. 6 ring and shouted, "Senior Brother Zou Yuping is on the field!" ”
Qiu Fei turned his head to look.
It's really Zou Yuping.
He was still wearing a modest orange power suit, and he looked full of energy.
His opponent is a man with five big and three thick, with explosive muscles and a great sense of power.
Qiu Fei was about to exert the analysis function of his eyes, when he heard Gu Nian shout: "Qiu Fei, I bet on Senior Brother Zou to win, do you dare to come?" ”
Ten medium-grade spirit stones slapped in front of him.
