Chapter Fifty-Six: At the beginning of the big competition, some opponents dare not play
Time is fair to everyone, whether you are diligent or not, and whether you are happy or unhappy, time will pass by minute by minute.
Some people often sigh that "time flies like a white horse", "time flies too fast" and so on, and Zhang Qiang at this time has this feeling.
Since the last conflict with Fei Yuyao, he has been diligent in the past month, except for the most basic rest time, he has been busy with cultivation and the study of various methods.
But if you look at his results, it's all worth it!
First of all, in the last few days, he unexpectedly cultivated the Fengxing Technique to the limit, and the speed of the body method at this time was not much different even if it was compared to Fei Yuyao.
As long as the speed difference between the two sides is not obvious, he has the capital to deal with the other party.
Although there will be some disadvantages in the confrontation of the body method, Zhang Qiang's Yanhu technique and the power of the body refining method will definitely have an advantage.
Speaking of the cultivation of Fengxingjue, Zhang Qiang originally thought that he would not be able to cultivate the limit if he did not achieve the Great Perfection of Qi Cultivation, but later he tried it by mistake and had an unexpected gain.
Until now, Zhang Qiang still feels that he is very lucky.
Secondly, Zhang Qiang has refined a large number of talismans, if he meets some people who think that they have more talismans than others and are better than others during the competition, he will already give the other party a big surprise.
Then, Yu Lingsan was indeed worth the money, not only greatly improving Zhang Qiang's spiritual power, but also improving his body a little. Especially after the last time he cast the Golden Rune Great Array, with the help of the power of the formation, he cultivated his spiritual power to the peak in one fell swoop.
It can be said that if it weren't for the fact that the schedule of the competition had arrived, Zhang Qiang would definitely be ready to break through to the ninth layer of Qi training, that is, he often said that he was a Great Perfection cultivator of Qi training.
Finally, I have to talk about the Golden Fu Great Array alone. The strength of this formation still shocked Zhang Qiang, and he even felt that once it was cast, even if the Zhuji Monk was trapped inside, he would have the strength to fight.
Think about it, in the formation, he can not only borrow the spiritual power of dozens of spirit stones, but even the spiritual power on the opponent's body or in the treasure, he can borrow a part. In this way, it is not impossible to fight with the foundation monks.
A variety of means were improved at the same time, and Zhang Qiang's combat power almost doubled. At this time, if he faced Fei Yuyao again, it would be absolutely impossible for him to be hit hard last time.
Of course, if the other party also prepares some super killer features, the result is not easy to say.
Thinking that the ranking competition had begun, Zhang Qiang shook his head, originally he went to participate in the competition early in the morning, but after he went, he realized that he still had two days off.
Because there were more than 800 Qi cultivation disciples in the Tianluo Sect, it was impossible for the ranking competition to allow the kind of Qi cultivation disciples of the first and second levels to also compete.
Therefore, there was an audition, that is, in these two days, about half of the disciples will be eliminated.
These eliminated disciples were mainly low-level qi cultivators who lived in the lower and middle peaks of the Rising Sun Peak.
Qi cultivators like Zhang Qiang, who are qualified to live at the upper peak, even if their strength is weaker, the sect also thinks that they are qualified to participate in the ranking competition.
Thinking about it this way, Zhang Qiang had to thank Chen Yong for giving him the cave mansion in Shangfeng. Otherwise, Zhang Qiang would also need to stand out from the audition in order to participate in the ranking competition like other low-level qi practitioners in the past two days.
Since the elixir needed to break through to the Great Perfection of Qi Cultivation had not yet been prepared, and if he wanted to break through, he might not have time in two days, so Zhang Qiang decided to postpone the breakthrough for the time being.
Wait until the end of the rankings, and then focus on trying to break through.
The extra two days didn't have much effect, Zhang Qiang thought that he hadn't had a good rest for a month, so he simply fully activated the Cave Mansion Guardian Formation, and fell asleep with his head covered.
The two days were just a blink of an eye, and when Zhang Qiang reappeared in high spirits, the ranking competition had officially begun.
The location of the competition was on the square of the main peak of Tianluo, and those disciples who were eliminated alive and did not participate in the competition could only watch the battle from a distance.
The disciples who participated in the competition were divided according to their cultivation and were in a phalanx.
Although Zhang Qiang's strength has greatly improved, he can still only stay in the phalanx of eighth-layer disciples who practice qi.
Fortunately, his previous victory over Chen Yong was very prestigious, and others took the initiative to leave him with the best position in the phalanx.
Directly in front of him is the phalanx of the disciples of the Great Perfection of Qi Training, and on the left is the Dharma Protector of the Sect who builds the foundation and cultivates the foundation to occupy the seat.
Coincidentally, Wan Huaiqing and Zhang Qiaobi, the two "VIPs" of the Tianluo Sect, also sat in the seat of the protector of the law.
In front of the Dharma Protector seat were the seats of the elders of the Tianluo Sect, and the seats of those who came from other sects to observe.
In the most central place, there is a middle-aged man in a Dao robe with a long beard, who is the Sect Master of Tianluo Sect, a monk in the late stage of Jindan, and the heart of Dao Tian.
Dao Tianxin is just his Dao name, because he has been famous for a long time, people rarely know his real name.
After Dao Tianxin nodded slightly to everyone, a white-robed elder announced that the ranking competition had officially begun.
The first people to enter the arena were two low-level Qi Cultivators, both of whom were only at the fourth level of Qi refining.
The reason why two places are given to low-level qi practitioners is mainly to give them a chance to show their faces, if they perform well enough, maybe there will be Dharma protectors in the foundation building period, and even the elders of the Jindan period take a fancy to them, and it is not impossible to accept them as registered disciples.
The battle between these two people is indeed very strong, and the spiritual light that bursts out of the rune sword alone is gorgeous and colorful, and the strength is indeed rare among low-level qi practitioners.
But they are always low-level qi practitioners, no matter how powerful they are, they can't be compared to high-level qi practitioners.
The two fought for a long meal, and it ended with one of them running out of spiritual power.
Behind the scenes were some disciples of the cave in the middle peak of the Rising Sun Peak, and most of their strength was at the eighth level of Qi training, and occasionally there would be disciples from the seventh level of Qi training.
The battles of these people are mainly based on exercises and talismans, and the very few of them who possess spiritual weapons can defeat their opponents almost effortlessly.
Among them, the more conspicuous is the tall follower of Chen Yong and Fei Yuyao.
Chen Yong was holding a long whip spirit weapon, and his strength was vividly exerted, but the tall young man seemed to have been prepared, and when fighting with him, he had always focused on avoidance.
When the battle reached the tea kung fu, the tall young man attacked again and again with talismans.
At this time, Chen Yong was obviously unable to use the spiritual power on his body due to the activation of the spiritual weapon, and when he got the seventh time that the tall young man cast the talisman sword, he finally defeated him.
Although Zhang Qiang was an eighth-layer Qi cultivation cultivator, the cave was in the upper peak, so it wasn't until most of those eighth-layer Qi cultivation disciples had entered the arena that the presiding elder called out his name.
"Hey, Zhang Qiang, it's time to play!" Wan Huaiqing seemed to be a little excited, clenched his fists and shouted: "Go up and let go of the fight, so that they can't find the north! Don't worry, if anyone dares to hurt you, I will definitely avenge you!"
Seeing that the people around him were looking at him with strange eyes, Zhang Qiang felt a little embarrassed, nodded slightly, and walked towards the field.
When he passed through the position of the Ninth Layer Great Perfection of Qi Training, Fei Yuyao stopped him and said with a smile: "Zhang Qiang, you must not be beaten down by others, otherwise, I really disdain to fight with you!"
Zhang Qiang said: "I won't let you down!" Then he pointed at Fei Yuyao and said: "Remember, when you play, you have to protect yourself! I will teach you a lesson myself!"
After just a few steps, Zhang Qiang found another "acquaintance", who was the left protector who had led him into the Tianluo Sect.
Since he was an acquaintance, Zhang Qiang took the initiative to bow forward.
Zuo Protector looked at Zhang Qiang with some surprise and said, "You have actually advanced to the level of Qi cultivation, it is really good! You perform well, if your strength is good, the old man may personally guide you!"
Zhang Qiang's goal is to compete for the top few places, or even win the championship, but at this time, he will not explain anything to Zuo Protector, but only respectfully thank you.
After walking onto the venue, the elder in charge of presiding said loudly: "Zhang Qiang, the eighth-layer cultivation of Qi practice, the cave is in the middle peak of the Rising Sun Peak, and the challenger can take the initiative to play!"
The scene was quiet for a while, and usually the first challenger would be a monk of the same rank.
In other words, there should be Qi practitioners of the eighth level of Qi cultivation who will come to challenge.
But the scene fell silent, and no one played for a long time.
Those disciples who lived in Zhongfeng exchanged glances with each other, they had seen Zhang Qiang defeat Chen Yong with their own eyes.
Even Chen Yong is not an opponent, didn't they bring humiliation on their own feet?
Then their eyes fell on Chen Yong and the tall young man, in their opinion, the eighth layer of Qi cultivation was qualified to fight Zhang Qiang, only these two people.
The momentary coldness made the presiding elder frown, he looked at Chen Yong and the tall man, and asked, "Why, you don't challenge him either?"
Chen Yong glanced at Zhang Qiang, his expression was a little ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "I'm not his opponent!"
The elder looked at Zhang Qiang in some surprise, then looked at the tall young man and asked, "You are not his opponent either?"
The tall young man's face turned red when he was asked, although he had prepared a lot of talismans, but if he faced Zhang Qiang, the talisman consumption was huge, not to mention, once Zhang Qiang used the Yanhu Technique again, he would lose very badly.
Although he was a little reluctant, the tall young man still said, "I don't challenge him!"
Although the words are subtle, the meaning is already very clear, and the tall young man is not Zhang Qiang's opponent.
At this time, the Dharma protectors and elders on the field were all surprised, and they all knew more or less about the geniuses of the Dao Dao Tianluo Sect.
For example, Chen Yong, although this person forcibly seized the middle peak of the Rising Sun Peak, none of the elders in the sect dealt with him.
Because in the eyes of those elders, as long as the disciple is a genius, no matter what means are used, as long as he can improve his strength, it is understandable.
After all, geniuses also need cultivation resources, if there are not enough spirit stones, or there are no treasures to keep around, even the chance of survival cannot be guaranteed, if you talk about achieving a high-level monk?
The Zuo Dharma Protector was even more surprised, this disciple was personally in charge of the introduction, and it was also because he had a personal relationship with the Black Dragon Sect's Dragon Assertion, how could he not have expected that this seemingly inconspicuous disciple would actually let the two disciples of the eighth level of Qi cultivation take the initiative to admit defeat.
On the field of the big ranking, there was a lot of discussion for a while, from those low-level qi cultivators to the sect protector elders, all of whom were discussing the people in front of them with some surprise.
And on the Dharma Protector seat, the two most eye-catching beautiful women also whispered.
I saw Wan Huaiqing's eyes blazing, and she was foaming at the mouth, but Zhang Qiaobi nodded sometimes and blushed cheeks, looking very happy and a little shy.
