One hundred and seventeen Victory without a fight
After two rounds, there were 17 players in the round of 16, but this is not without precedent. According to the rules, the race must continue after the participants have rested for three hours. For the first time, Chen Su felt that the pace of such a grand event seemed to be a little too fast, but he didn't know that the previous Seven Cities Grand Gathering was a real duel between the strongest of the Seven Cities, and each battle took several days and nights to determine the winner or loser, and they didn't even want to rest for a moment, so the rules set by the ancestors have been used to this day. Before the semi-finals, everyone's opponents need to be distributed by Lang Yuanzhu.
Everyone stood in front of Lang Yuanzhu, the leader of Nanqi saluted Yan Lao respectfully, for hundreds of years, no one knew the origin of Yan Dao Yan Lao, and no one had seen him make a move, although he and Lang Yuanzhu had always existed in Qingyan City, but in addition to this seven-city event, very few people saw him appear, the only thing everyone knew was that this Yan Lao had easily defeated two city lords with the strength of one person, so in front of him, no one dared to show a trace of disrespect, and for the distribution of Lang Yuanzhu, everyone would not have any doubts.
"Please ask Elder Yan to order the arrangement of the third round of competition. The leader of Nanqi said respectfully, this is the third time he has presided over the Seven Cities Festival, for him, this is a rare honor, and all this naturally comes from Jiang Tuo's excellence.
In the hearts of all the contestants, they all hope that they are the ones who have a bye, and no one wants to encounter the existence of the top three. Everyone waited anxiously and expectantly for their names to appear on the Lang Yuan Pillar. As the voice of the leader of Nanqi fell, Yan Lao slowly opened his slightly drooping eyelids, his gaze swept downward for a while, and after stagnation on Jiang Tuo's body for a moment, he finally froze in front of Chen Su behind the crowd. Yan Lao's right hand stretched out two fingers together, and with a light touch on the top of the Langyuan pillar, the name of the person who entered the third round began to flash on the pillar. The one who appeared in the first place was also the most conspicuous, and it was the name of Jiang Tuo in Nanqi City, and the leader of Nanqi was slightly surprised, Jiang Tuo did not have a bye in this round? However, Jiang Tuo was still as calm as ever, and there was no fluctuation in his emotions.
The moment Jiang Tuo's name appeared on the Lang Yuan Pillar, many people were nervous, because no one wanted their name to appear behind Jiang Tuo, especially those who were expected to enter the top eight, for them, Jiang Tuo was the only existence that had reached the Danyuan realm, and it was also an opponent that they could hardly surpass, and the word Jiang Tuo represented a terrifying force.
"Bastard!" As one person scolded angrily, many people's tense nerves were slightly relaxed, and Jiang Tuo's opponent's name finally appeared in the eyes of everyone, it was actually Mi Jin, Mi Jin's fists hammered together, he glanced at Jiang Tuo, and couldn't help but sigh, it seems that his road to the top eight is over.
Qingrui fought against Murong Ze, but Mu Fan matched Jiang Yi from Nanqi City, these two Murong Ze was ranked twelfth in the last session, but Jiang Yi was the new top 16 this year.
"Why don't you have the name of Cao Zhen?" Someone soon discovered the strangeness, this round of byes was actually Cao Zhen, the second ranked city of the Northern Wei Dynasty last time, so Cao Zhen will be the first person to be determined to be the top eight.
It was only at this time that Jiang Tuo reacted for the first time, his eyes fell on Lang Yuanzhu, looking down one by one, he was ranked in the most conspicuous position on the top, Qing Rui followed, Sun Xuan was against Murong Xu, who was once ranked thirteenth, after three rounds, he and Cao Zhen had two byes, Jiang Tuo couldn't help frowning slightly, and looked back at Chen Su behind the crowd, could it be that the next round of Lang Yuanzhu will make Sun Xuan have a bye? Thinking of this, Jiang Tuo's heart finally moved, and a faint hostility rose in his gaze towards Chen Su for the first time, this kind of gaze, even he had never appeared to Cao Zhen and others.
"Chen Su?" Chen Su looked for his name on the Lang Yuan Pillar, and it was not until the last that his name and Mu Zimo's name appeared on the Lang Yuan Pillar at the same time, "Huh?" Chen Su was slightly surprised, it was Mu Zimo from Qingyan City who was fighting against him, and then Chen Su looked at Mu Zimo calmly, it was obvious that the latter did not expect that he would encounter Chen Su who defeated the seventh Murong Nan and cultivated but only had the early stage of the Soul Realm, he really didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
Seeing this, Qing Xi couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Mu Zimo, I really want to know what you're thinking in your heart right now?"
Mu Zimo's lips were tightly closed, how could he meet people from the same city in the top sixteen? Are this Lang Yuanzhu and Yan Lao old confused? Just when he heard Qing Xi's ridicule when he was irritable, Mu Zimo's nose flickered twice, and he chuckled, "In my heart, I am now excited to enter the top sixteen, not to mention that I am about to enter the top eight, what do you say I can think? I am wondering if I will have a chance to hit the top four next time, but I am not as embarrassed as some people." By the way, Qingxi, can I still see you here at the next event?"
Qing Xi laughed at him and was humiliated, his face turned blue and white for a while, and he said angrily: "How do you know that you can enter the quarterfinals? Maybe you have to be beaten so that you can't get up!" After saying that, Qingxi regretted a little again, Mu Zimo was beaten so that he couldn't get up, didn't it mean that the person who entered the top eight would be Chen Su? Then wouldn't he be even more annoyed.
Mu Zimo spread his hands indifferently, "The first time I walked here, I was already satisfied." Saying that, he glanced at Chen Su, "Even if he is defeated, I don't care, anyway, he is also a person from our Qingyan City, one more person enters the top eight, and Brother Mu Fan will have one less resistance." If some people had fought a little more, maybe the situation would have been better. Mu Zimo glanced at Qing Xi provocatively, and even Qing Min next to him felt a little fever on his face when he said his words.
Qing Xi still wanted to refute it, but the team leader surnamed Qing couldn't bear it anymore, and said in a deep voice: "Qing Xi, you might as well go and ask your brother if he has any instructions?"
"I..." Qing Xi knew that he had said a little too much, which made the team leader unhappy, but at this time, let him go to Qing Huan, didn't he jump into the fire pit by himself, and Qing Huan didn't knock out his front teeth?
"If you don't go, keep your mouth shut!"
When people from the same city meet, it is indeed rare when there are more than ten contestants, but no one dares to question Yan Lao's distribution, all they can do is comply, after all, in the eyes of everyone, Chen Su and Mu Zimo are not top existences, and their rankings will not have much impact, and the top sixteen Qingyan City occupies four seats, so it is also appropriate for them to consume themselves.
......
Although the Hidden King Mu Boran was far away from the stands, he could see the handwriting on Lang Yuanzhu clearly, "Chen Su vs. Mu Zimo?" Mu Boran thought to himself in his heart, just now Chen Su kept his hands everywhere, even if Murong Nan was the most embarrassed, he still had the strength of Xiaocheng in the Soul Realm, he had to deliberately hide his spiritual power and refused to use it, but now let him meet Mu Zimo, Mu Zimo has the cultivation of the Soul Realm, and it may not be easy for him to hide it again. Mu Boran's mind was racing, Lang Yuanzhu let Chen Su have a bye in the first round, but in the second round, he encountered Murong Nan, who had the strongest restraint against him, who knew that he won easily, even now, Chen Su's true strength has not been exposed, and the spiritual attack he made against Mu Qin at the beginning was probably difficult to resist even if it was a great achievement of the Soul Realm.
"Chen Su, Jiang Tuo, Cao Zhen. Mu Boran secretly recited the name of the person who had a bye three times in his heart, "Could it be?" Suddenly, Mu Boran's heart was shocked, Yan Lao's strength and vision were definitely beyond what they could imagine, could such a bye portend something? "No!" Mu Boran secretly decided that at this moment, Chen Su must not be exposed prematurely, he needs to help Chen Su again, and then he whispered a few words in the ear of a person beside him, and the person quickly got up and ran down the stands and went straight to the martial arts arena.
......
Mu Boran walked directly to the team leader surnamed Mu from the person entering the competition field, took out a jade plaque to it, and then whispered a few words in his ear, the team leader surnamed Mu nodded again and again, looking like he didn't dare to disobey at all, and then the servant turned around and left.
Looking at the back of the person who came to leave in a hurry, the leader surnamed Mu couldn't help but feel sad, Mu Zimo and he were also direct blood relatives, but at this moment, it was Mu Qin, the commander of the right guard, who personally sent someone to pass the word, and the right guard's order was the king's meaning, where did he dare not obey? But this order really made him puzzled, so he had to stubbornly shout Mu Zimo beside him.
"Zimo, just now Commander Mu Qin sent someone to make some arrangements. The voice of the team leader surnamed Mu was not loud, and it was almost inaudible after the worst.
Mu Zimo was elated, Commander Mu Qin sent someone to spread the word, was it because he performed well? Want to arrange for him to enter the right guard? Thinking of this, Mu Zimo was even more excited, "Commander Mu Qin? Could it be that the right guard has taken a fancy to me?"
The team leader surnamed Mu shook his head gloomily, "Zimo, this may not be good news. ”
"Huh?" Mu Zimo was stunned, how could it not be good news to enter the right guard?
"Hey!" Team leader surnamed Mu sighed, "Commander Mu Qin, he wants you to admit defeat when you play against Chen Su." ”
"What?" Mu Zimo yelled and admitted defeat, telling me to admit defeat? Why? Why did he Chen Su? I, Mu Zimo, had gone through a lot of hard work to get here, so I made me admit defeat? However, although Mu Zimo had a thousand words in his heart, he did not dare to resist at this time. Right guard is a transcendent existence in the Qingyan Dynasty and in the hearts of the children surnamed Mu, and it is a symbol of strength, and Mu Qin is the idol in the hearts of many young people surnamed Mu, how can Mu Zimo disobey his orders?
The team leader surnamed Mu glanced at Mu Zimo and continued: "In exchange, they promised to let you enter the right guard with Mu Fan. ”
Mu Zi snorted silently, "I entered the right guard, relying on strength, not in exchange for anything." ”
"Would you like to say yes?"
Mu Zimo looked up to the sky with a long sigh, looked at the team leader helplessly, and then looked at Chen Su in the distance, "Do I have a choice?" With that, he turned around and walked out of the competition arena, leaving only a sad long laugh.
