Chapter 200: Victory in the First Battle
() Among the three ways to advance in the first round of the Magic Treasure Conference, the third one is the most convenient. If it goes well, you only need to win three games to advance. But this method is also the most difficult, because the three opponents who must be defeated are all people who have won 45 games in a row.
Also, take the biggest risks. The first type of "winning streak" can try again even if it fails. It doesn't hurt to lose many times, you can also accumulate wins and advance in the second "total wins" way. And once the "challenge wins" loses, they are immediately out of the game, and there is no room for turnaround.
Whoever chooses the third method must be the master in this category.
Xiao Tianhe originally planned to wait for the game to enter the middle and late stages of the first round, but Nangong Ting's words made him scratch his head.
"Brother Xiao, the method of 'challenging to win' is indeed the most convenient, and I think it shouldn't be too difficult with your strength, but you have ignored an extreme situation. Nangong Ting said solemnly, "Although it is extreme, it has also appeared a few times in previous magic treasure conferences. ”
Xiao Tianhe couldn't help but be curious. According to his speculation, masters like Nangong Wei should choose the way of "challenge to win" to advance, which also avoids the situation that the top masters will compete in the first round.
"What if the strength of the contestants in this year is too close, or for other reasons, no three people can win 45 games in a row from the beginning to the end of the first round?" Nangong Ting said in a word.
Xiao Tianhe's heart was shocked. Yes, that's an extreme situation. If there are less than three people who have won 45 games in a row, then the person who chooses to "challenge to win" is out of luck. According to the rules, the number of people who advance to the second round is 30, and if the number of people who have passed the parlay is less than 30, the best person will be selected from the person with the highest winning streak and the most wins. In other words, if you win less than three games, you will definitely be eliminated.
Xiao Tianhe frowned: "Then it can also be changed to the other two ways, as long as you ensure that you don't lose and won't go out of the challenge?"
Nangong Ting shook his head: "Brother Xiao, what you think is too simple. When it turns out that there may not be enough people to win 45 games in a row, it is often the end of the first round. At that time, there will be fewer fighters, and I am afraid that the 50 consecutive victories will not be able to make up the number, let alone the 250 total victories. It would be a pity if it was eliminated because of a lack of games. ”
"Yes, why didn't I think of this?" Xiao Tianhe suddenly realized, "Not only that, but other masters who choose to 'challenge to win' must also be in a hurry and fight one after another, it is estimated that it is not easy to win every battle, then it will be troublesome!"
"That's why I'm in a hurry to pull you to the ring, no matter what, save the next win first, anyway, the person who chooses to 'challenge to win' doesn't have to defend the ring, you can go back after winning and wait for the next person who has won forty-five consecutive games. ”
"Don't worry, listening to you say this, I think it's too risky to 'challenge to win', and I plan to change the way to advance. "Xiao Tian Dao.
"Ah, then are you going to choose 'consecutive wins'?" Nangong Ting asked, "Actually, although 'challenge to win' is risky, after all, the probability of such an extreme situation is not very high. I've only heard that there have been a few times in the past magic treasure conferences, but there have been several magic treasure conferences of the four major families recently. ”
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, it's not difficult to either way in the first round, as long as you advance. 'Winning streak' is the biggest and is something you can control. Just choose this!" Xiao Tianhe had already made up his mind.
"Then you still have to play early, and if you want to 'win in a row', it's best to avoid the stage where the late masters are frequent. Nangong Ting suggested.
"I'm very strange, why did you just say that because of my identity, the later I appear, the more disadvantageous it is? Could it be that the children of the Nangong family enjoy any 'privileges'?" Xiao Tianhe remembered the situation of the Ximen family's magic treasure conference, where the children of foreign clans gave benefits to the children of Ximen.
"It's not. The later you play, the more likely you are to meet a master. Those who play in the late stages, no matter what way they choose, can't afford to lose. If you think about it closely, those masters may become your teammates in the future Storm Conference, and it will be detrimental to you if you eliminate them, and if you think about it in the distance, those masters will definitely be highly anticipated by the family, and your elimination of them is equivalent to destroying their chances of entering the core. If you can enter the core in the end, it's fine, if you don't, I'm afraid those seniors in the clan will not like you. ”
"Heh, the world is big, the Nangong family doesn't allow me, isn't there a place for me?" Xiao Tianhe shook his head and sneered, "But I really don't want to fight to the death with a master like Nangong Wei in the first round." As you say, I'll show up sooner. ”
"Okay! Let's go!"
Xiao Tianhe was about to urge the magic knife, and then thought of another question: "No, Brother Ting, what if the master comes out too early, and others see him as too powerful, and he still refuses to go up to challenge?"
"No, others don't want to challenge you, you can take the initiative to get off the stage and go to other rings to challenge others, anyway, there is no provision that 'consecutive wins' must be a defensive battle, and a fighting battle is also counted. Nangong Ting suddenly smiled, "But if no one really challenges you, it's a good thing, there is a more comfortable way to advance." In fact, there is another rule in the Demon Treasure Conference: if a person guards for three days in a row and no one dares to fight, then he will directly advance to the second round. But this is very rare, to what extent? I tell you, since the beginning of the Demon Treasure Conference, there has not been a single occurrence!"
"I see. Xiao Tianhe was relieved, "I hope Nangong Wei and them will not be so unlucky and encounter a situation where the number of games is not enough." ”
"This kind of thing is not estimated until the end. Nangong Ting sighed, "Patriarch Nangong Yan is an example. He is a genius of demon cultivation, and his root bone qualification can be described as a rare one in a hundred years, but he is very unlucky, and he encountered that extreme situation in the first time he participated in the Demon Treasure Conference, so he failed to advance to the second round. ”
"First time...... Does that mean there will be another time later?" Xiao Tianhe asked curiously. Depending on the number of years of participation and the interval between the tournaments, it is indeed possible to experience two magic tournaments.
"No
The second time it was even more regrettable that he did not participate. I heard that a certain elder did not allow him to participate, because he planned to let him take charge of the Nangong family in the future. Nangong Ting said regretfully, "If it weren't for bad luck, he would have entered the core a long time ago." ”
"Rest assured, with the qualifications of the Nangong Yan Patriarch, you can enter the core by virtue of cultivating to the tribulation. ”
Nangong Ting didn't know that Xiao Tianhe had seen Nangong Yan, so he looked at him strangely, and he didn't know why he said that.
The auditorium carved out of the cliff was full of people, and the crowd erupted from time to time with excited cheers and sighs of regret. Nangong Ting took Xiao Tianhe to the bottom three rings. Before the two of them could land, an exclamation suddenly erupted in the audience, and a figure flew out of the Gen Position ring and fell to the ground.
"Liang Xinghuai, win the forty-sixth game in a row!" the audience reported loudly.
The man who threw out of the ring seemed to be fine, slowly stood up, glared at the people in the ring viciously, and limped away.
"During the time I went to call you, he defeated another one, and it's already forty-six!" Nangong Ting said.
Xiao Tianhe looked at the ring, the man on the stage was unkempt, and his shirt had been torn into pieces of cloth, revealing knife wounds all over his body. He simply ripped off his shredded clothes and stood naked in the middle of the ring. The muscular chest was still rising and falling rapidly, the bronzed muscles were glowing with a faint layer of blood, and there were dozens of knife wounds large and small, all over the body, which was the best proof that he had won forty-six consecutive victories.
The audience talked a lot, needless to say in the first forty-five games, the key is the forty-sixth game, the person named "Liang Xinghuai" faced a Nangong disciple, but he mercilessly knocked his opponent out of the ring.
"Well, he really is. If he knew that he would be defeated by Brother Xiao for a while, I am afraid he would not be so ruthless! I am afraid that his life in the Nangong family will not be too easy in the future, and the person who was defeated just now seems to be from the Nanlou family of the Kunwu Division. Brother Xiao, I think you should go to the ring and challenge, after all, the method of 'challenging to win' saves a lot of effort, and it can also be counted as a winning streak. Well, just go to the stage and register your name. Nangong Ting urged.
Xiao Tianhe said: "His victory was not easy to come by, and I don't want his efforts to be in vain." For some reason, Xiao Tianhe has a good impression of this person, and he is not afraid of the opponent's identity and background and fights to the end seriously, which is the real respect for the opponent.
Nangong Ting was anxious: "Oh, Brother Xiao, why do you think so much? If you don't defeat him, other masters will also defeat him! He is already covered with injuries, and he has survived to the limit, don't be picked up by others!"
Xiao Tianhe smiled: "No, he hasn't reached the limit yet." The fact that he can knock his opponent out of the ring instead of slashing him out of the ring proves that he is already merciless and should be able to hold on. Besides, according to the rules, one person can play a maximum of six games a day, and this is only the eighth day, and he has already won forty-six games, so there are only two battles left at most today, and I hope he can finish today's game smoothly. ”
Sure enough, the person in charge of registration in the audience said loudly: "Liang Xinghuai, I have fought five battles today, and I can fight the last one again!"
Liang Xinghuai breathed a sigh of relief, slowly walked out of the ring, took a few pills from a table, and sat cross-legged on the ground, waiting for the next challenger.
"Oh" The audience suddenly erupted in a burst of cheers that were even more enthusiastic than just now, Xiao Tianhe and Nangong Ting's eyes were immediately attracted, and even Liang Xinghuai, who was sitting on the ground and resting, raised his head and looked at the earthquake ring not far away.
"Nangong Hui, the forty-fifth consecutive victory!"
It turned out that the second person to win forty-five games in a row appeared.
"Hey, it's that nasty guy!" Nangong Ting pursed his lips disdainfully.
"It's him...... Hehe. Xiao Tianhe suddenly laughed.
Nangong Ting said angrily: "Brother Xiao, his level is not so high at all, the people of other families are hindered by the fact that he is a disciple of Nangong, and they deliberately let him be cheaper, and the children of the Nangong family do not challenge him because they are of the same clan." Hmph, there's a lot of water in this forty-five consecutive wins!"
"In this case, the people of other families should not participate in the Demon Treasure Conference, it is meaningless to let them come and go!" Xiao Tianhe was also a little dissatisfied with this situation.
"Nangong Hui's flying and domineering is very famous in the clan, and many people have already learned it at the last Demon Treasure Conference. Uncle is also protective of his shortcomings, so others don't want to get entangled with him, so as not to trouble him in the future. Nangong Ting explained.
"Hmph, others are afraid of trouble, but I'm not afraid. Let's take him first!" Xiao Tianhe strode towards the earthquake ring.
Nangong Ting was stunned for a moment, and immediately followed happily.
"The next fighter in the earthquake ring, Nanjiang Department, Xiao Tianhe, choose to challenge and win!"
At this time, someone in the contestant seat discussed: "Hey, even if you are a foreigner, you don't have to be so cowardly, right? Seeing that Nangong's disciples are about to win fifty games in a row, they will go up one by one to send cheap and flattering, which is really spineless!"
Another person next to him chimed in: "That's it, it's really a shame for us foreigners." If you don't want to offend people, you just don't challenge it, so why bother?"
The audience regarded Xiao Tianhe as a flatterer who deliberately sent Nangong's disciples to promotion.
But Nangong Hui's face in the ring was ugly. When he heard the words "Xiao Tianhe", he already knew that his winning streak was about to be terminated.
"What should I do, what should I do? I'm not reconciled......" Nangong Hui was worried, and finally turned his heart sideways, walked out of the ring, and took a few pills.
Xiao Tianhe kicked under his feet and jumped into the ring lightly. Nangong Hui also returned to the ring.
The race is on.
Nangong Hui waved the magic knife dazzlingly, and attacked Xiao Tianhe with a strange scream.
Xiao Tianhe didn't take his opponent seriously. When he was still in the late stage of the void, Nangong Hui was not an opponent, let alone now
In the realm of the void that is already a hole. To deal with Nangong Hui, Xiao Tianhe didn't plan to use his strength at all.
Nangong Hui attacked three feet in front of Xiao Tianhe, and he couldn't even take another half a step. The Nangong family's knife technique is indeed exquisite, but Xiao Tianhe's "Peng'an" knife technique is not inferior. Nangong Hui attacked desperately, but Xiao Tianhe saw the move and calmly resolved it one by one. Nangong Hui circled Xiao Tianhe several times, but Xiao Tianhe didn't move an inch, didn't even turn his head, and seemed to have eyes behind him.
Nangong Rong, the master of the Deceptive Sect who supervised the high-level group ring, lit up his eyes and asked Nangong Yang, the lord of the Southern Galaxy next to him: "This person who is new to the earthquake ring, his knife technique is very exquisite, and he has a smell of four or two thousand catties, can you tell what kind of knife technique he uses?"
Nangong Yang stared at Xiao Tianhe for a while, and said: "Look at its routine, it is not the Chen family's "Fearless" knife technique, nor is it like the Lan family's "Blue Sky" knife technique, and it is even more different from the Tong family's "Three Laughs" knife technique, I don't know who he studied from." ”
Nangong Ling, the head of the Nanchen family, interjected: "There are so many affiliated families of my Nangong family, and we haven't seen all the sword techniques, maybe it's the sword skills of a little-known small family, right?"
Nangong Rong shook his head and denied: "No, it shouldn't be." Looking at the subtlety of his knife technique, one less point is insufficient, and one less achievement is short, and one more point is useless, and the snake is added to the drawing. Although the dew is small, it reflects the world, although the dust and sand are small, it gathers thousands of miles of sand, although the stars shine, far beyond thousands of miles, and although the flute is clever, it resounds loudly in the sky. It seems simple, but it is profound, and it seems gentle, but it is light. This is definitely not a knife technique that can be created by a small family. ”
Nangong Han, the head of the Southern Japanese Department, said with a smile: "The head of the ministry has a really good evaluation of that person's sword technique. I just heard the report, as if he was from the Nanjiang family. After today's game is over, the head of the department may wish to go to Nangong Tong to ask. ”
"Hmm...... Xiao Tianhe ...... "Nangong Rong secretly remembered this name.
On the ring, Nangong Hui just blindly attacked, and Xiao Tianhe never fought back, but only defused and resisted. He didn't plan to use the skills of the ministry, so it was enough to deal with Nangong Hui. After a long time, Xiao Tianhe has not changed much, he is still relaxed and comfortable, but Nangong Hui sweated first. This sweat is half tired, half anxious.
Nangong Hui, who still had a hint of luck, lowered his voice and said to Xiao Tianhe: "Hey, Xiao Tianhe, it's just a competition, why do you bother to force each other? Even if you defeat me, you may not be able to advance!
Xiao Tianhe smiled contemptuously: "Don't talk nonsense, if you want to win, there is only one way, defeat me! I've been letting you for a long time, and you're welcome next!"
When the lure failed, Nangong Hui scolded angrily: "You, a slave with a foreign surname, actually toast and don't eat and drink! Don't regret it then!"
Xiao Tianhe didn't want to pay attention to him anymore and turned defense into offense.
"Dang!" The Heavenly Enemy Knife was blocked by Nangong Hui's magic knife.
"That's not right!" Xiao Tianhe's heart froze, just now, he was actually shocked and numb. Before he could come back to his senses, Nangong Hui's knife had already swung out a flood of light and shadow.
The next battle situation was beyond Xiao Tianhe's expectations, Nangong Hui seemed to have suddenly changed as a person, and his skills had risen a lot, although it was not yet enough to defeat Xiao Tianhe immediately, but it was basically evenly matched.
Why is this happening? Could it be that Nangong Hui deliberately concealed his strength before? This explanation is hard for even Xiao Tianhe himself to believe.
"No, it's impossible, with Nangong Hui's arrogant personality, it will never be like this!"
Xiao Tianhe suddenly thought of something Tyrant Spirit Pill!
In the Qinglong Continent, the Tyrannical Pill is the best elixir, which can temporarily improve the cultivation realm after taking it, and is a very important treasure in a decisive battle with the enemy.
"There should be a similar elixir in the Sky Flame Continent, but it is definitely forbidden in a major competition like the Demon Treasure Conference. Nangong Hui, this guy must have quietly swallowed it in his mouth when he stepped down to serve Dan just now, and once the persuasion failed, he immediately swallowed it! It's too despicable!" Xiao Tianhe became more and more angry the more he thought about it.
"Huh?" Nangong Rong on the supervision platform frowned.
"Ministry Master!" The other three elders also discovered that something was wrong with Nangong Hui.
"Let's see how that Xiao Tianhe responds first. Nangong Rong had a feeling that Xiao Tianhe should not have shown his real ability yet.
"Hmph, do you regret it? I want you to know that offending Nangong disciples, especially me, Nangong Hui, is destined to have no good fruits to eat!" Nangong Hui's arrogance was extremely arrogant.
Xiao Tianhe didn't want to entangle too much with an immoral person like Nangong Hui, although he could wait for him to lose the effect of the medicine before defeating him, Xiao Tianhe wanted to win this victory in a more perfect way. With a twist of his wrist and an arc step with his feet, the knife technique of "Peng'an" closed the momentum, and the knife technique of "Yutian" took off, and he used the body technique of "Dragon You", and cleanly stabbed Nangong Hui to the point that he couldn't find the north at all.
With a kick in the chest, Nangong Hui's chest made a dull "click", and blood spat out in the air, and he flew directly out of the ring and crashed into the seat, and the audience was in an uproar.
Nangong Rong immediately jumped off the supervision platform, and rushed to the unconscious Nangong Hui's side, probing his nose, he was still alive. Examination of the injury, several broken ribs, serious internal injuries.
Nangong Rong got up and beckoned, and a few people from the sidelines carefully carried Nangong Hui down. He turned around, jumped into the ring, and looked at Xiao Tianhe coldly: "You shot too hard!"
Xiao Tianhe thought to himself with a clear conscience: "It was he who violated the law first." To defeat him, I have to make this heavy hand. ”
Nangong Rong suddenly smiled slightly: "That's right, I appreciate it." ”
Nangong Ting, who was very nervous in the audience, clapped his hands and laughed: "Haha, Brother Xiao, the head of the Rong Department judged you to win!"
Xiao Tianhe bowed his head slightly to Nangong Rong and walked off the stage.
At this time, one of the participants stood up and shouted, "Wait! There is a problem with his demon cultivation years!"
