Chapter 10 The Beginning of the Banner Ethnic Competition
Cultivation is like studying, the better the grades, the more confident, the more confident the more efficient, and Zhou Kai has now entered a virtuous circle of cultivation. Although he has a lot of things to cultivate at present, the interest brought about by his progress has increased unabated, and he has made many achievements in all aspects.
According to the plan, it was divided into different types of cultivation, and since the beginning of following Zhou Yi to practice swords, nearly a month has passed, and it is already late October.
On this day, in the Longmen Blood Wear Space, after refining a second-order fire attribute demon pill with the Dao Dan technique, he clearly felt that after absorbing this demon pill fire attribute, the fire of the Dao Dan had undergone a qualitative change, and it became larger in a large circle, and the first-order fire of the Dao Dan was completed.
The first-order completion of the Dao Dan Fire is of great significance to the Dao Dan technique. In addition to directly using the Dao Dan Fire Alchemy, it also involves the Dan Seal method in the Dao Dan technique. Many of the Dan recipes in the Dao Dan Technique have Dan seals attached to them, and the Dan seals are used together with the Dao Dan Fire. In the process of fusion and condensation, the Dan seal can be injected to better lock the aura contained in the pill, accelerate the volatilization of fine impurities, and make the pill more refined.
Prior to this, among the pills refined by Zhou Kai, according to the original Dan formula, the top-grade rate reached eighty percent, and according to the new Dan prescription described in the Dao Danshu, the top-grade rate reached ninety. And in addition to failing a few times in the learning stage, after mastering the Danfang, you can basically achieve 100 shots. Therefore, Zhou Kai was very much looking forward to the addition of Dao Dan Fire and Dan Seal to allow him to refine the best pill for the first time. According to Zhou Kai's idea, a Dan Master who has not refined the best pill is not a good Dan Master. Therefore, in the future, more time will be allocated to the cultivation of the Dao Dan technique every day, and the application of the Dao Dan Fire and the Dan Seal will take time to practice proficiency.
After another twenty days, after soaking in a medicinal bath and swallowing the second Quenching Pill, the body was once again quenched with a lot of impurities, and the seven-star refining body was a first-order Dacheng, which was almost two months compared to the first-order Xiaocheng. After the first-order completion of the Seven Star Body, the strength of the flesh itself reached six hundred catties. It's a pity that there is no record of physical martial arts on the Seven Star Body Refining Technique, otherwise, with the strength of the body itself, Zhou Kai can roughly have a fight with the cultivators of the sixth layer of body refining.
Five days later, he successfully rushed to the fifth layer of the refining body, the activity of the blood was further stimulated, and the meridians expanded again. Moreover, he clearly felt that after changing to the cultivation of the Dragon Xing Nine Heavens Technique, the quality of the heavenly power in his body was far stronger than before.
Ten days later, the Tiger Leap Leap Horizontal Movement Distance reached ten meters, and the Broken Mountain Fist could stably strike out a bonus of five hundred catties, and these two martial arts were surpassed by Zhou Kai's practice. After two months of hard practice, Zhou Yi finally approved Zhou Kai's eight basic movements of swordsmanship, which are basically enough, but he still has to continue to be proficient day by day. However, you can try to practice the Kuaifeng Sword Technique again.
Zhou Yi saw that Zhou Kai had risen one level and reached the fifth level of body refining, and all kinds of martial arts had also been cultivated well, so he proposed: "Kai'er, there is still a little more than a month to reach the end of the year, and a month later is the time of the family competition, you can try." It is all the younger generation of the clan to participate, and when the time comes, there will be the town guard, the Hong family, the Bai family, and various celebrities in the town to be invited to watch. Don't ask for any results, just to gain some combat experience, after all, cultivation can't be done behind closed doors. ”
After hearing this, Zhou Kai also thought about it and reviewed it. In addition to the fact that alchemy is all practical exercises, it is true that my own cultivation ideas are a little wrong, they are all immersed in penance, and do not pay attention to actual combat, so it is not a matter of paper, and I really need to have such an opportunity to test my cultivation results and check and fill in the gaps. Zhou Kai readily agreed and asked Zhou Yi to help sign up for the big competition in the clan.
There's still a month to go, so I'll have to prepare myself.
The attack is based on the Shattered Mountain Fist and the Fast Wind Sword, and the defense is mainly based on the Tiger Leap. At present, he is mainly working on the fast wind swordsmanship.
Next, Zhou Kai arranged more time for the cultivation of the Kuaifeng Sword. After learning the basic movements of the swordsmanship, when I looked at the Kuaifeng swordsmanship, it was really very different. In the past, a move could only be rigidly separated into several links, but now it can naturally break a sword move into more than ten sections, and the connection is more perfect when changing the move. It can be said that the initial formation of the basic movements of swordsmanship has made Zhou Kai take a big step forward in the cultivation of swordsmanship, and his understanding of the Kuaifeng Sword has become more and more profound.
Ten days later, the Fast Wind Sword entered the realm of transcendence as he wished. In order to meet the family competition, Zhou Kai also spent more time on the combination of body and fist, body and swordsmanship.
On the eve of the day of the family competition, the Kuaifeng Sword also took a big step forward in the realm of transcendence. However, the alchemy side encountered an embarrassing problem. Because of the skillful application of the Dao Dan Fire and the familiarity with the new Dan Fang, if Zhou Kai does not use the Dan seal now, according to the new Dan Fang of the Dao Dan technique, all the Dan refined are of the highest grade, and occasionally there are the best. And if you use the Dan seal, you will actually refine all the best, which is a bit shocking. Zhou Kai also understood the truth that wealth is not visible, and the best Dan did not dare to take it out and sell it in the town, but the Shangpin Dan that was retained before had not been sold and had to be disposed of. Otherwise, now just buy elixir alchemy, instead of selling pills, and the spirit stones on hand will be almost gone. So it's possible to get to know someone in this area.
On the day of the family competition, Zhou Kai, who was sitting in the disciple area, opened his eyes. Almost all the people in the family who can come over have come to the martial arts arena. Just like the wedding scene in the previous life, the guests came like a cloud, and the guests were full. When every guest arrives, a family member loudly announces where the guest has come from.
In the middle of the arena there are two large martial arts platforms, set up at an interval of 10 meters and about 1 meter high. Facing the competition platform, it is divided into three areas: left, middle and right, which are fan-shaped, and the middle area is slightly higher. On the right hand side is the area where he is a participating disciple, on the left hand side is the area where the family elders, deacons, teachers and other people with more status in the family are located, and in the middle is the VIP area, where the patriarch father and the eldest elder Zhou Xian are accompanied.
Zhou Kai saw two beauties in the VIP area. One is Jin Wanting, the daughter of Jin Wuhao, who is fifteen or sixteen years old, with thin lips and a delicate nose melon seed face, light eyebrows like a crescent moon, and a pair of big eyes full of aura, she can be regarded as a little beauty, but unfortunately she is too slim and not what Zhou Kai likes. Gu said that the Zhou family may take the opportunity of the clan competition to propose a marriage to the town guard mansion. The other is Jiang Yuxi, the shopkeeper of the Hongshan Town Branch of the Mingyue Chamber of Commerce, seventeen or eighteen years old, with a purple skirt and a body, black hair and high plate, snow muscles and jade skin, crystal clear. The eyebrows are like willow leaves in early spring, and the face is like peach blossoms in March. The slender waist brings out the rich and graceful, and the black eyelashes tremble lightly, and it is difficult to hide the cut water and autumn pupils. Gu Pan is amorous, and Tankou is suspicious for a long time. Well, this beauty is more charming than her sister Zhou Jiaxin, and she is my love. Mingyue Chamber of Commerce and Jiang Yuxi both came to Hongshan Town two months ago, Zhou Kai has not been in contact, Gu said that the background is also very strong, so young is the branch shopkeeper, it seems that it is a rich girl traveling.
In addition, Zhou Kai also paid attention to the two masters of the younger generation that his father said. Sit in the front row of the participating disciple area. Zhou Huai'an, the grandson of the second elder Zhou Quan, is fifteen years old, refining the body sevenfold, already almost one meter eight, and he is also very handsome, Zhou Huai'an is quite conceited in his memory, and he feels very good about himself. Zhou Jin, the grandson of the Great Elder Zhou Xian, is fourteen years old, with six refining bodies, good facial features, black and strong, and more than one meter seven, anyway, they are all taller than themselves now, so annoying. In the past, Zhou Kai often played with him, and knew that he was kind and simple.
A total of thirty-two people participated in the family competition, ranging from thirteen to fifteen years old, from the fourth level of qi refining to the seventh level of qi refining. The rules are very simple, that is, all the way to the end, the two competition tables are held at the same time, and the opponent is determined by drawing, and the point is stopped. Fall out of the ring or admit defeat on your own initiative.
Although Zhou Kai has no actual combat experience, he thinks that the seven-star refining body has added six hundred catties of strength, and his comprehensive strength is no less than the seven-fold refining body, and his martial arts skills are proficient, and he has strengthened his combat power, so he feels that he is also a strong contender for the championship. However, the reward for the champion is only an elixir, and Zhou Kai is generally interested in this. Zhou Kai himself also likes obscene development and does not like to be in the limelight. And I heard that I was going to marry the town guard, so if I accidentally got a fancy to it, it would be a bit troublesome, so I had to think about it in the long run.
After the Great Elder Zhou Xian made a generous speech, the game officially began, drawing the No. 3 lot, a total of two copies of sixteen lots, Zhou Kai will compete with another opponent who drew the No. 3 lottery, both sides open at the same time, which means that he will play in the second game.
Soon the first competition was over, and the No. 1 ring was vacant. Zhou Kai and the opponent played at the same time. This opponent is also a fifth-level refining body, fifteen years old, and he uses the Yellow Rank Middle-grade Running Bull Boxing, and Zhou Kai naturally uses the boxing method to deal with it. After a few temptations, it was found that although they both belonged to the fifth layer of body refining, the opponent was too far behind him in terms of strength, martial arts level and speed, but the shouting was relatively loud when he punched. Zhou Kai tried his best to suppress the strength at about forty percent, and the opponent you went back and forth for more than ten moves, and found that it really couldn't have the effect of sparring, so he made a decisive force, an acceleration, and the first move in the broken mountain boxing broke the stone, knocking the opponent out of the ring. First win, enter the round of 16.
An hour later, the first round of the competition was over, a new round of lottery began, and Zhou Kai was the No. 3 lot. This time, the opponent is also a refining body five-fold, making a sword. Zhou Kai first used the basic movements of swordsmanship to deal with it, relying on the flexible cooperation of the tiger leap, although it could not reach the level of calm and light like his father Zhou Yi, but he could also deal with it completely. And the opponent was very angry when he saw that Zhou Kai didn't even use his sword skills. Desperate all of a sudden, this week is a little hectic, after all, the basic movement level of his swordsmanship is still only in the beginning. Control the fast wind sword to the degree of integration, after responding to two moves, deliberately sell a flaw, and then a word trick, swing away the opponent's long sword, a stabbing word trick, and stop at the opponent's throat, and the opponent admits defeat. Two wins to enter the quarterfinals.
Another hour later, the draw for the third round was completed and ready to start, and Zhou Kai's opponent was a six-fold refining body, fifteen years old. After coming up, the opponent took out the Qingfeng Sword, and Zhou Kai also took out the Qingfeng Sword and waited cautiously. The opponent is one level higher than him, and the first time he crosses the level, it is inevitable to be nervous. This time, Zhou Kai directly started the fast wind swordsmanship, controlled the sword skills at the level of integration, and began to attack. The spring rain, the autumn wind sweep and the word electricity are used repeatedly, and when you look at it again, the opponent can't cope with it at all.
In fact, Zhou Kai mainly did not have an objective evaluation. His exercises are top-notch, and in terms of heavenly power, the fifth layer of his body refining must be at least equivalent to the sixth or seventh level of ordinary people. The strength of the flesh is much stronger than that of ordinary people. And from the perspective of his body, the tiger leap of his mystical realm itself made him invincible in this clan competition. So his combat power is slightly expanded, where can the opponent stand it.
You can't be too high-profile, it's better to make a fortune in a muffled voice. Therefore, Zhou Kai slows down his movement speed and then responds with his opponent, so that he only has a slight advantage. After about thirty moves, Zhou Kai directly forced the opponent to abandon the sword, won the game, and entered the semi-finals. In this way, Zhou Kai also slowly discovered that in this competition, he only opened a little seventy percent of his combat power, and it is estimated that he will be invincible in the sixth layer of body refining.
When he was on the scene, Zhou Kai found that the beautiful Jiang Yuxi smiled at him, and Zhou Kai also bowed his head.
The opponent in the top four is none other than Zhou Jin, the grandson of Great Elder Zhou Xian, who also uses Broken Mountain Boxing, and has also practiced to the level of supernatural transformation. He is naturally strong, but he is a good opponent. Zhou Kai also controlled the Broken Mountain Fist at the level of supernatural and fought against Zhou Jin. The battle was relatively stalemate. From the point of view of strength, Zhou Kaitian's strength is not inferior to Zhou Jin, and his physical strength is also greater than that of his opponent, so it is not a big problem to win. However, Zhou Kai felt that Zhou Jinren was good, and he was also a boxing genius, and he gave Zhou Kai some enlightenment in the boxing battle, so he was a little reluctant to use this opponent.
After nearly 50 moves of victory, and it was already the semi-finals, the game here was focused on and the audience was praised. You must know that most of the time ago, Zhou Kai was only at the second level of body refining, and he was basically a scumbag of cultivation, and during this period of time, not only was he promoted to the fifth layer of body refining and his combat power was outstanding, but also people had changed their temperament and were not blind, so many old people of the Zhou family and celebrities in the town who watched nodded frequently, and Zhou Yi earned enough face.
Seeing that the situation was almost over, and it was meaningless to fight again, Zhou Kai stepped forward with a stride, opened the mountain with one move, hit Zhou Jin's left shoulder, and spewed out inch by inch, smashing Zhou Jin off the ring. Make it to the finals. Zhou Huai'an's game over there ended earlier, looking at Zhou Huai'an's slightly contemptuous eyes, Zhou Kai only smiled wordlessly. And during the break of the competition, Zhou Kai found that Zhou Huai'an repeatedly looked at Jin Wanting, the daughter of the town guard, and probably understood what he was thinking, after all, he was only a fifteen-year-old child, and his thoughts were written on his face.
At the beginning of the finals, Zhou Huai'an's high-grade martial arts in one hand, the Running Thunder Sword Technique, made the momentum magnificent, reaching the level of integration. Because of the protection of the body method, Zhou Kai is not false. It's still just to control the fast wind sword technique to the level of integration, and fight against it.
After more than 20 moves, Zhou Kai found that his own heavenly power was actually on par with Zhou Huai'an, so if he added his physical strength, skillful body skills, and the supernatural transformation of the Kuaifeng Sword, he could win quickly. Finally, he roughly calculated his combat power, which exceeded the sevenfold level of ordinary body refining. It turns out that the cultivation level of his three martial arts is very rare, and he thought that everyone was like this. Since there is no suspense about winning, and you are afraid of being in the limelight, then forget it. Speaking of which, it's much more comfortable to control wins and losses than to win or lose with such a small title. So when Zhou Huai'an handed over the thirtieth move, he dodged and accidentally fell out of the ring.
At this point, the family competition is over.
Seeing that the second elder Zhou Quan took Zhou Huai'an to the town guard, he finally let out a sigh.
"Little brother, Zhou Kai, right?" As soon as he turned his head, he found that Jiang Yuxi had come over and was questioning him.
This pretty sister is kind of interesting. It's really beautiful up close. came back to his senses: "Back to the words of the beautiful sister, it is exactly below." ”
Jiang Yuxi laughed and trembled: "I see that your martial arts are practiced very well, it seems that you are more than the extent of your use?" ”
Zhou Kai was taken aback, there are masters, low-key to the end: "Maybe my temperament is relatively light, it looks like I am stronger than my actual ability." ”
Jiang Yuxi said: "Little brother, I am optimistic about you. I heard that you have sold pills to the Lingdan Pavilion, and you have the opportunity to go to our Mingyue Chamber of Commerce to sit down, and my sister will receive you well. ”
Zhou Kai responded: "It must be." ”
Jiang Yuxi floated away like a gust of wind, and only the lingering fragrance was temporarily stored.
Zhou Kai's heart is active, it seems that he is looking for an opportunity to go to the Mingyue Chamber of Commerce. I'll be fourteen years old after the New Year, and I'm not far from the legal age of pickling girls, it's a pity to be a wife to someone else with such a stunner. Besides, the first-order high-grade elixir also needs to find a sales place.
