Chapter 42: Before the War
Returning to his temporary resting residence, Wang Lung declined everyone's kindness and locked himself in his room alone.
The competition time is set to be held in the afternoon, from the selection of opponents to the competition, only half a day can be squandered by Wang Long, although the area of Blue Mercury is not small, if ordinary cultivators want to rely on their own ability to meet Du Lian, the light journey will also take more than ten days, but under Du Lian's care, those opponents selected by Wang Lung will be gathered in just a moment, and only an hour has passed.
Wang Lung locked himself up, not taking advantage of this time to make another breakthrough, he didn't meditate and cultivate, he didn't sleep, he just sat cross-legged on the ground, holding a silk book in his hand, and read it slowly.
There is nothing surprising about this book, it is what he has been reading for the past few days, the book explains some introductions to refining materials, there is no time to read, and now it is rare to have half a day.
It's not that Wang Lung is big, he looks down on the three opponents he has chosen, and he only has half a day, and he really doesn't know what to do in the Dao, and he doesn't need to meditate to recover his strength. This can't be done at all, the information given by Du Lian is complete, but it's all some identity information, and it has no useful value at all, what is the strength of the three opponents? Wang Lung doesn't know what he does, and the opponent doesn't know his strength.
Thinking about it, Wang Lung really didn't know what to do, there were a bunch of people around him, chirping like a vegetable market, and he casually found an excuse to lock himself up, since he didn't know what to prepare for Lu Dao. Wang Lung didn't want to do anything at all, and it was good to read a book to pass the time.
This level of competition, according to normal times, it is estimated that no one will pay attention to it, because of Wang Long's relationship, although Du Lian will not come in person. But he will also send his own disciples to supervise it, this overseer is naturally not a concubine, the little girl can't wait to post it to Wang Long, so that she can be the overseer and not guard and steal.
The island where Du Lian is located is called a holy place, and Wang Lung will naturally not hold a meeting with people here, but the chosen place is not too far from here, there is an ordinary island a hundred miles away, the area is pitiful, less than ten zhang away. There is nothing but some weeds, sand and gravel, and the sea is submerged at high tide.
At this moment, the sun was setting in the west, and there was still a period of time before it got dark, and some uninvited guests came to the nameless island, needless to say, it was Wang Lung and others who came here to prepare for a discussion. There were a total of nine people on this trip, but there were no concubines and Du Lian.
Wang Long, three opponents who were selected. A brother and Du Lian's three apprentices, led by Sang Xin, the supervisor of this competition fell on his shoulders, Liefei wanted to come together, but before leaving, he was called away by Du Lian, and set a tone for this discussion. This is also known as the rule.
Due to Wang Lung's special physical condition, Du Lian's tone was also aimed at Wang Lung, which was very simple, after all, it was a competition, and it was strictly forbidden to hurt people's lives. In the course of the fight, if Wang Lung has some physical damage, he will be directly judged as the loser, and either side is also judged to be defeated if the opponent is held on the neck.
Wang Lung has no objection to this kind of regulation, what he cares about most in this three competitions is the competition with the cultivators, whether he wins or loses, he wants to see what the true strength of the cultivators is.
The ring, the nameless island, the distance of ten zhang, after the group settled, Wang Lung looked around, such a small range, I don't know where the road can hit the back, the surrounding is full of seawater, this ring seems a little smaller.
"Senior Sister Ru, I'm sorry for you. Sang Xin said lightly.
"Look at the senior brother and say, what's so troublesome about this. Qin Ru smiled at Sang Xin, turned back to Wang Long and continued, "You wait a moment. ”
Sang Xin is the senior brother, in addition to him, there are two fellow disciples accompanying him this time, Qin Ru is one of them, and the other is named Lu Shenbo, they are ranked seventh and third respectively among Du Lian's personal disciples.
In this discussion, Du Lian asked these three people to come together, naturally with their intentions, Sang Xin was the supervisor, Qin Ru was responsible for arranging the formation, and Lu Shenbo was the referee, but unfortunately Liefei did not come, Wang Long asked Sang Xin, but the other party smiled and said nothing.
I saw Qin Ru slap the spiritual weapon on his waist, and there was an extra instrument in his hand.
A delicate disc, on which the fluorescence flowed, there were six beads of different colors inlaid in it, I don't know what kind of law Qin Ru used, the five beads on the disc all broke away, and slowly rotated around her.
Qin Ru glanced at the four eyes, a little empty, and saw five beads flying in different directions, submerging into the ground in the blink of an eye, which happened to be the edge of this island, and there was still one bead left on the disc in Qin Ru's hand, and when he reached out and stroked it, this bead fluorescence was better than three points.
With Qin Ru's movements, the five beads buried in the ground slowly rotated from the ground at the same time, and in a moment they came out of the ground and rose into the air, the speed was not fast, tea time, when the five beads stopped fifty meters away in mid-air, they stopped rotating, and Qin Ru stretched out his Qianqian jade finger and waved his hand in the air, only to see the five beads quickly converge in the middle.
The five beads regathered, Qin Ru stretched out his hand, and the five beads returned to the disc again, and Qin Ru bounced straight, and the fluorescence of the six beads in the disc disappeared completely.
A halo of light flashed, and Qin Ru blasted a palm-sized hole on the ground, but the disc that was still in her hand was hidden in it, and after a while, there was still any hole in the ground, and even the surroundings did not change at all.
"Okay!" said Chong Sang Xin happily after Qin Ru had done all this.
Sang Xin nodded, looked sideways at Lu Shenbo next to him and said, "There is Senior Brother Lao Lu."
"Ha Lu Ha...... , Senior Brother is polite. Lu Shenbo threw his hand at Sang Xin and reflexively said to Wang Long and the others: "Okay, you four little guys come with me." ”
If you want to say that Du Lian accepts apprentices, Wang Lung really doesn't know how the other party thinks about it, so far he has seen four people, Liefei and Sang Xin naturally needless to say, one is a demon race, the other is a human race, Qin Ru's name sounds good, but it is not a human race. It is the Yanling clan in the branch of the spirit race, which looks a bit similar to the cold rouge, has no legs, and the lower body is a body of flames, and the upper body is not too different from ordinary humans, but there is a pair of spirit wings behind it. It is not a physical object, but a spiritual power illusion, almost transparent, this spiritual wing is not deliberately conjured by Qin Ru, but brought by the body.
The three of them are okay to say, it looks like some people still have the appearance of some people, but Lu Shenbo is completely different, the other party is a Ni bear among the beast clans, born with divine power. The cultivation has reached the early stage of infancy, in terms of Lu Shenbo's cultivation, although the body cannot be completely solidified into a human body, but at least it can be transformed, this guy doesn't know what to think, he doesn't even bother to change the body, even if he meets Du Lian, it is also the body of the bear.
Short. Coarse, brownish-yellow fluff. With a white neck and a black head, fortunately he has a beast skin under his crotch, otherwise he would not dare to compliment him when he stands.
When they landed on this nameless island, everyone was only on the edge of the island, since Lu Shenbo asked Wang Long and a few people to follow. They didn't speak, just followed him towards the center of the island.
In addition to Lu Shenbo and others, Sang Xin, Qin Ru and the first brother all took off, ready to watch Wang Lung's next performance.
The island is less than ten feet long, and it takes a few steps to walk to the middle. Stand behind Lu Shenbo and wait for him to speak.
"I'll tell you guys, you have to listen well, if something goes wrong in the competition for a while, it's no wonder that no one else. Speaking of this, Lu Shenbo paused slightly, saw that Wang Long and the four of them all nodded, and continued: "Senior Sister Qin has arranged a formation here just now, covering the entire island, but the height of the limited air is fifty meters, don't think about running to the sea to fight, you can't get out at all, just in this place, if anyone touches the formation barrier three times in a row, even if they fail, do you understand?"
"Understood!" everyone nodded.
"Okay, that's all, you all know the rules, I won't remind you, it's just an ordinary competition, the three of you decide who fights him first. Lu Shenbo pointed at Wang Lung and said to the three players.
If it weren't for Wang Lung's own eyes, he didn't believe that there were any other formations here, it wasn't that Qin Ru's formation attainments were high, but that Wang Lung knew too little about the formation, his foundation was thin, and he didn't know a lot of things, and the other party could arrange a magic circle with only one disc and a few magic decisions, and it seemed that he had a lot to learn in the future.
After looking around, still not seeing any traces of the formation, Wang Lung withdrew his gaze and put it back on the three opponents beside him.
To be honest, it doesn't matter which of these three opponents comes first, sooner or later they will have to fight, as long as he can win two battles, and then see the true strength of the cultivator, then this battle will be worth it to him.
Speaking of these three opponents, Wang Lung was a little speechless, although Du Lian gave himself a list, although there were some losers, but the results they achieved in the internal competition of their potential forces were really good, there was no lower than the top six, Wang Lung didn't believe that Du Lian selected less than ten sixth-place guys to deliberately release water for himself, there must be something greasy in it.
Since it had been decided to choose two self-cultivators and one cultivator as opponents, Wang Lung chose three from the highest ranking to be his opponents after carefully checking the introduction, and among the three opponents, one was from the Ling Xiang faction, who was a late-stage cultivator of the first line of cultivation, named Tu Luan.
After seeing Tu Luan's introduction from the list, Wang Lung directly selected him as an opponent, as for the other two self-cultivators, Wang Lung didn't think too much about it, and without knowing the true strength of Lu Dao, it was the same for whoever he chose.
In the internal competition of the Ling Xiang faction, Tu Luan ranked fourth, unfortunately, he did not obtain the qualification to participate in the most difficult competition of the event, he thought that he would miss this event, but he did not expect that in just a few days, he received an order to have a discussion with a special person.
Although it is a friendly match, Tu Luan can not refuse the rewards given by participating in this kind of competition, the winner can not only get some rewards such as spars, but also has an additional condition, that is, to participate in the finals of the grand event, this is a recommended place, every event will have some recommended places, this time it can fall on his head, Tu Luan will not give up.
Even if there are no rewards such as those spars, just one recommended place is enough for Tu Luan to be excited, but in order to get this place, he must first defeat Wang Lung in the next competition.
Let outsiders come to learn from themselves, even if Du Lian is the guardian of the Blue Plains system, those guys who have received the notice may not be willing, although it is impossible to refuse directly, but there is some resistance in his heart, if he wants to let the opponent show his true strength, Du Lian will definitely make a promise to the other party, Wang Lung does not know what kind of promise Du Lian will make to the other party, it doesn't matter about him, and he doesn't want to know Lu Dao, as long as he can achieve his goal, no matter what is behind it, Wang Lung feels that it doesn't matter.
Soon, the results came out, and the three of them obeyed Lu Shenbo's order and recommended Tu Luan as Wang Luan's first opponent, while the other two were directly thrown into the sky by Lu Shenbo and stood side by side with the first class.
The two stood opposite each other, and Lu Shenbo stood in the middle and looked left and right and said, "Fight well, remember the purpose of your trip." ”
Wang Lung and Tu Luan nodded at the same time, the two of them glanced at each other, and there was a hint of a smile on the corner of their mouths, as for what they wanted to express, it was estimated that only they knew what they wanted.
"Start ......"
A sound began to make Wang Lung and Tu Luan stunned at the same time, and Lu Shenbo, who was supposed to be standing in the middle, disappeared strangely, and there was no longer his figure on the entire island, leaving only the two looking at each other. (To be continued......)
