Chapter 226: The Contest Begins
"The time has come, the Imperial Spirit Contest is now here, there are always 2,988 players participating in this Imperial Spirit Competition, please get ready. Ling Tanzi floated in the air, smiling, and through the blessing of mana, the loud voice reached the ears of everyone around.
The noisy voices around began to calm down, and everyone stared at the players in the arena, looking forward to the start of the exciting Spirit Tournament.
Liu Yu first took the "Imperial Wind Pill", and soon a light medicinal power rose in his abdomen, spreading along the meridians of his body. Then activate the "Beiluan Wind Spirit Rune", after the magic rune burns, it turns into a light spiritual qi, lingering on the shining red sword under his feet, and the red spiritual light of the shining red sword body is dyed with a layer of blue light.
In the end, Liu Yu used all his strength to use the "Xuanxue Escape Light", small earthworm-like blood vessels floated on his face, his eyes were red, and a ball of blood-colored light burst out of his body, wrapping the flesh and the flashing red sword under his feet, turning into a blood-colored red light, causing others to look sideways.
Most of the nearly 3,000 contestants bought special spirit runes and spirit pills with different effects from Tianfu Lou and Baixinglin, and they were all taking drugs or activating spirit runes for a while, and the scene looked a little funny.
Soon, all the contestants were ready, all kinds of spiritual lights flashed, getting brighter and brighter, and a strong spiritual pressure suddenly erupted in the competition area.
"Listen to the poor Dao command, three, two, one, go. ”
The red wall of light in front of everyone disappeared in an instant, and all the contestants flew out, like thousands of meteors blooming in the sky in an instant, and the hundreds of thousands of city-citizens below who came to watch erupted into earth-shattering cheers.
The people who looked up to admire the moon cheered at the meteor shower that had melted in the sky, and the sound and waves extended forward with the flying sword group, one after another, one after another, one after another.
At this time, the two who flew to the front were Nangong Xiao and Ge Hong, and the Xuanyuan Ice Bird and Silver Electric Eagle they were driving were all rare spirit birds, accelerating extremely fast, and the two spirit birds went hand in hand, regardless of up and down, leaving everyone behind.
Nangong Xiaopan sat on the back of the Xuanyuan Ice Bird, and the aura of the whole body entered the body of the Xuanyuan Ice Bird, speeding up the speed of the Xuanyuan Ice Bird, and the Xuanyuan Ice Bird exuded a cold light around the body, and the wings were stirred up with mist. The silver electric eagle on the side, his eyes were fierce, and his whole body was shining with silver light, like a silver lightning.
Soon, all the contestants disappeared in front of everyone's eyes and flew towards the Beiluan Daoguan.
After about half a quarter of an hour, Ling Tanzi received the spiritual words from the other end of the Beiluan Taoist Temple, and announced loudly: "The first to arrive at the Taoist Temple is the Great Wilderness Sword Sect, Helian Yun. ”
"Okay!" The crowd watching the game in the air erupted into a huge cheer, most of these people bet on Helian Yun, and the disciples of the Great Wilderness Sword Sect on the "Giant Sword" couldn't help but get excited.
"The second one to arrive is the Spirit Ice Palace, Nangong laughs!"
Naturally, there was another wave of agitation in the crowd, and the cheers in the sky rang out again.
"The third person to arrive is Baixinglin, Miao Yi!"
...
"The tenth person to arrive is Huang Shengzong, Liu Yu!"
Sun Kang and He Anqing glanced at each other, and they both saw each other's expressions of shock.
"Senior Brother Liu, so strong!" He Anqing couldn't help but say.
Sun Kang's face was cloudy, and he thought in his heart: "No wonder I will press myself, it turns out that I am hiding so deeply." ”
The disciples of the Huang Shengzong on Huoyun Feng exchanged their heads and discussed, who is this Liu Yu? I have never heard of such a person!
"Liu Yu, I haven't heard of it!Senior brother, where did you come from such a person?" Xiahou He said suspiciously.
"Brother Rong thinks about it. Shangguan Ming said with a frown.
Shangguan Ming felt that the name Liu Yu was a little impressed, but he couldn't remember it, so he thought about it hard.
"Senior brother, this son just arrived in Beiluan City, didn't you pick up a group of disciples from the sect a few days ago! The Lingxue Dao man on the side spoke.
Lingxue Daoist was wearing a Ruijin skirt at this time, tall and tall, with long hair knotted into a Lingyun bun, with a golden five-phoenix hanging bead hairpin inserted on it, with a dignified face, beautiful and moving, compared to the usual days when he haunted Huang Shengling Village, if the two of them were judged, the disciples around him frequently peeked sideways.
"Whose disciple is this?" asked Xiahou He.
"Tang Hao's apprentice, with average qualifications, I didn't expect that there would be second-hand, not bad. Shangguan Ming remembered at this time and replied.
"Although it is a little worse than Guo's nephew, it is really quite good to be able to rank tenth in the first half of the race, and I hope to keep it up. Huang Jian, another steward of the Huang Holy Sect, also spoke.
"Senior Brother Shangguan, Senior Nephew Guo is ranked sixth, and in the second half of the race, there should be hope for the top three. Xiahou He congratulated and said.
Guo Jia, the sixth player to arrive at the Beiluan Taoist Temple in the first half of the race, is the personal disciple of Shangguan Ming, and the most promising person among the disciples of Huang Shengzong who participated in the competition.
"It's nice if he can keep sixth. Shangguan Ming shook his head with a sad face and said. Guo Jia is his disciple, Shangguan Ming naturally knows very well, Guo Jia's advantage is in the first half, and the speed in the back will only decrease.
Guo Jia cultivated a third-grade high-grade spell "Ascending Cloud Qi", which can increase the flight speed of the first mate, but the duration is limited. Shangguan Ming saw that after Guo Jia set off, he soon used the spell "Ascending Cloud Qi" to increase the flight speed of the flying magic weapon "Streamer Cloud" under his feet.
The duration of "Ascending Cloud Qi" can also support Guo Jia to finish the first half, and the speed of the second half will naturally decrease, so Shangguan Ming will say that it is good for Guo Jia to keep the sixth.
Shangguan Ming's words made the stewards of the Huang Shengzong on the side fall into silence, Guo Jia was already the strongest person among the disciples of the Huang Shengzong who participated in the Imperial Spirit Competition. If he couldn't get a good ranking, Huang Shengzong would definitely not look good in the results of this Imperial Spirit Competition, and the stewards of Huang Shengzong who were present naturally had a dull face.
Every year, a large number of disciples of the four sects participate in the Imperial Spirit Competition, which indirectly becomes a secret contest between the four sects, and the ranking of the disciples of the four sects in the competition is directly related to the reputation of the sect in Beiluan City.
In the past three years, the rankings achieved by the disciples of Huang Shengzong have been very unsatisfactory, and none of them have entered the top three. Shangguan Ming deliberately transferred his apprentice Guo Jia from Huang Shengshan to Beiluancheng this time, hoping that he could achieve a good ranking for Huang Shengzong.
But Shangguan Ming didn't expect that the disciples of the Spirit Ice Palace, the Great Wilderness Sword Sect, and the Ten Thousand Medicine Valley participating in this year's competition were all extremely outstanding, and Guo Jia only ranked sixth in the first half of the race, and he was very worried.
The nine streamers that flew in front of Liu Yu, when they flew from Beiluan Daoguan to Baixing Forest on the return trip, their speed decreased, and it was very likely that their spiritual power was consumed too much.
Liu Yu's "Xuanxue Escape" is mainly to consume the essence and blood in the body, and the consumption of mana is not large, although it has already lost ten percent, but this is far from reaching Liu Yu's limit.
Liu Yu's sword speed did not decrease at all, like a blood-colored meteor, overtaking one player after another in front of him, and flying towards the finish line.
