Chapter 256: The First Battle Was Lost
The tiger is very aware of Zhou Yang's strength, and he will definitely not fall behind ordinary spiritual peak cultivators, and now that he has the best magic weapon in his hand, even if he fights with the elite disciples of Zhou Tianzong and other major sects, he will not necessarily lose.
Since the eldest brother has such a good intention, how can the younger brother refuse. Third brother, remember to express your gratitude to the eldest brother on my behalf. Zhou Yang took the shuttle and couldn't put it down.
"No problem, the third brother wishes you a successful start and success!"
"Third Brother Xie Jiyan!"
Early in the morning of the second day, Zhou Yang and others gathered at the competition square.
At this time, Bidou Square was already crowded with people, and the black pressure was overwhelming. None of the disciples in the door wanted to see the grand event of the selection and competition, and even some disciples who had been practicing penance all the year round were not in retreat, and they came to the square one after another to look forward to it.
Although there were many people in the square, it was orderly, and the disciples in the door lined up to watch according to the area. The disciples who participated in the competition stood at the forefront and waited for the call.
The more advanced the cultivation, the closer to the viewing platform, and so on.
Zhou Yang was naturally standing in the outer disciple area. In the entire outer gate, there are very few disciples who participate in the Lingtai Realm's selection and competition, and there are only three of them.
The other two have just broken through the Ninth Layer of the Lingtai Realm, but they are almost forty years old, and they are barely qualified to participate in the competition in the Lingtai Realm.
The cultivation of these two people can be regarded as the top among the outer disciples, but compared with the elite disciples, they are still a lot behind.
And the vast majority of those who participated in the Tianxingmen Kaiyuan Realm competition, except for a few people, were outer disciples. Because there is no Kaiyuan Realm among the inner gate and elite disciples, the competition at this level is almost the internal selection of the outer gate.
Among the outer disciples, there was also a peak cultivator of the Lingtai, and that was Song Dahu's subordinate Yang Fu, but he was already over forty years old and was not qualified to participate in the competition.
At this time, two deacons stood next to each of the ten jousting platforms to act as duelists.
As soon as the hour arrived, a clear voice came from the viewing platform: "Disciples of Tianxingmen, after more than a month, the triennial big competition in Dingbei will begin."
Today is the day when our sect conducts internal selection to participate in this competition, and it is also the day to test the strength of the disciples of our sect. For this reason, I sent the head of the family to attend the ceremony in person, and Zhou Tianzong's deacon Chong Berlin Chong also came to the arena.
In addition, our faction was fortunate to invite Jiang Chengxiong, the head of the Dayan Gate, the head of the Flying Dragon Sect Decree Fox Pei, as well as the head of the Wei family, the head of the Lao family, the head of the Shang family, and the deacon Shang Rong, the protector of the Tongzhou Commercial Bank, and other distinguished guests to come to watch the ceremony.
The arrival of all distinguished guests has also added a lot of glory to this selection. On behalf of Tianxingmen, I would like to thank all of you for coming. Next, entrusted by the head, Elder Ben will first announce the rules of the competition. ”
"Third brother, who is this person?" Zhou Yang's eyesight is outstanding, and he can naturally see everyone on the stage clearly.
In the middle of the viewing platform, a wide seat sat the head of the Tianxing Gate. And he asks about the man who stands and speaks at the right hand of the master.
"The long-haired old man in the middle is the head of the blue sky, the quasi-real person and the fake Dan realm. The one who spoke was the Great Elder Li Fengyun, the peak cultivation of Tianyuan. Also, the person on the left is Ling Hu Pei, the leader of the Flying Dragon Sect, who is the great-ancestor of Ling Hu Deyi according to his generation. The man on the right is ......"
Song Laohu also looked at the viewing platform with his eyes, and explained to Zhou Yang at the same time.
"Linghu Deyi still has such a powerful backer. Zhou Yang nodded, and couldn't help but secretly.
After Song Laohu's explanation, Zhou Yang also recognized the big man on the viewing platform.
"Anyone who violates the rules will be judged to lose immediately and will withdraw from the competition. At this time, Great Elder Li Fengyun had already finished reading out the rules of the competition.
In fact, it is very simple, the two sides of the competition, one side forces the other side out of the dotted line on the competition platform to win.
The two sides must not fight to the death, and try to avoid casualties. One party can take the initiative to admit defeat, and after admitting defeat, the other side must not continue to attack, otherwise it will also be judged lost.
In the competition between the Kaiyuan realm, the magic weapons are limited to below the middle grade, the magic weapons in the Lingtai realm are limited to the best grades, and the Tianyuan realm is limited to the low-level quasi-magic weapons.
There is no time limit until the adjudicator decides to win or lose, or until one side concedes.
There is also a special rule that no runes are allowed.
This rule made Zhou Yang feel a little familiar, and after pondering for a while, he remembered it, but it was also this rule within the Xuanfu Sect.
He still remembered that in the mine of Xuanfu Sect, Li Chengdao's men fought with Sima Gu's guards, but no one used the spirit rune.
The Xuanfu Sect is known for making talismans, and each disciple has a large number of spirit runes.
Combined with today's events, it seems that not only the Xuanfu Sect, but every sect will have such rules when fighting internally.
The first day was full of battles between the disciples of the Kaiyuan Realm, so the big names on the viewing platform only left after watching two games, and the duel between them would come again when they arrived at the Lingtai Realm.
The disciples of the Lingtai Realm, although they were not much interested in the competition between the Kaiyuan Realm, they still watched it with relish at the initial stage.
Because the first game of the fight was difficult to solve, there was a competition on the platform where both sides were red-eyed, because the strength was equal, until the two sides were exhausted, their physical strength was exhausted, and they were injured to each other, so that the winner was divided.
And it is not one party who voluntarily admits defeat, but the decision is made by the adjudicating deacon. The criterion for judging is that whoever runs out of Yuan Power first will lose.
Due to the limited Yuan power, after these Kaiyuan Realm disciples came to power, they fought with weapons, and magic weapons were only used in sneak attacks or decisive battles.
Therefore, these people basically fight at two levels, that is, two levels: sword and weapon fighting.
Needless to say, it depends on the proficiency of the sword technique, the change of moves, and physical strength. And the magic weapon is arm in hand, compared whose hand is faster, whose yuan power is deeper, and whose technique of controlling the magic weapon is more subtle.
Zhou Yang was also very enjoyable, he also came from the Kaiyuan Realm, watching the fight of these people, he couldn't help but make a comparison with himself.
Except for some of them whose strength was weaker than him, most of them were comparable to him when he opened the Yuan realm, and even a few were stronger than him at the beginning.
It seems that these disciples cultivated by the sect are really not to be underestimated.
Due to the large number of people participating in the fight, the fighting was extremely fierce, and there were casualties, so the time was extended, from two days to three days.
On the afternoon of the third day, the top 20 in the Kaiyuan Realm were finally decided.
Four to twenty are awarded by the Grand Elder, while the top three are awarded by the head of the family himself.
These disciples were naturally excited, especially the head of the sect personally awarding awards and answering cultivation questions in person, which was something that they didn't even dare to think about on weekdays, and for a while all the disciples were envious.
These twenty disciples, in the near future, will participate in the selection competition held by Zhou Tianzong.
On the fourth day, it was the turn of the disciples of the Lingtai Realm to fight.
The disciples of the Lingtai Realm are the mainstay of a sect and are in the position of connecting the upper and lower levels, so the competition between them is the highlight of this selection.
On this day, the viewing platform was full, and when the Great Elder announced the start of the competition, everyone stretched their necks and looked at the competition platform with wide eyes.
Zhou Yang's appearance number is two hundred and sixty-nine, so he has to wait until the afternoon to start.
In the first competition, on the ten competition platforms, eighty percent were peak cultivators of the Lingtai. The late stage disciple of the Lingtai in the outer gate was ranked on the ninth martial arts platform, but fortunately, his opponent was also a late-stage Lingtai cultivator.
The two clasped their fists in each other and saluted, and then each flashed his blade and began to wrestle.
For a while, the sword and the sword, whirring with the wind, you come and go, shuttling uncertainly, but also playing a flag to meet the opponent, will meet the good talent.
The two belonged to the inner and outer sects, and at first they were evenly divided, but after a long time, the disadvantages of the outer disciple were undoubtedly revealed, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his head.
After dozens of moves, the outer disciples saw that the situation was not good, so they took the lead in sacrificing their own high-grade magic weapons, and more than a dozen light blades shot out like lightning, covering the opponent's upper plate in unison.
He wanted to sneak attack, but the other party was not an idle person, and while his body flashed, he also sacrificed his high-grade magic shield, several fire blades were dodged by him, and the other few hit the magic shield, crackling.
According to common sense, this person should retreat again to prevent the opponent's magic weapon from being destroyed again.
However, this person did not retreat, but advanced, jumped high, his body was as fast as the wind, and the long sword in his hand stabbed out in an instant, directly taking the outer disciple.
He didn't even use magic weapons, and wanted to win with weapons alone.
In the face of opponents of the same level, this style of play seems to be dragged on, and even a little arrogant, but the speed of this person's body is indeed much faster than that outer disciple, and his comprehensive strength is also stronger, so he still has this confidence.
At this time, the shortcomings of the outer disciple's lack of combat experience were undoubtedly revealed, and he originally thought that the other party would retreat while dodging the light blade, but he would definitely choose this way in this case.
Which Cheng wanted to backfire, the other party was abnormal, taking advance as retreat, the long sword instantly arrived in front of him, he didn't have time to sacrifice the magic shield in a panic, and he reluctantly used the long knife in his left hand to pull it out in a hurry.
But in a hurry, how could he use all his strength, the long sword was only slightly missed by a few inches, and the heart was dodged, but the outermost side of the left chest was pierced by the long sword, and then it was picked outward, and even the belt meat was cut off, and the robe flew in the air.
The outer disciple screamed in pain, the big sword fell to the ground, and his face became extremely pale.
And the ruling deacon did not announce the end of the competition, and the long sword of the inner disciple drew a beautiful arc in the air, and then it was set on the neck of the outer disciple.
"Disciple No. 11 wins! The two of you quickly quit the tournament. The eleventh waits for the next round of fighting. ”
The adjudicating deacon of the No. 6 competition platform announced the results of the competition with a blank face.
All the outer disciples opened their mouths wide, and the next moment they hung their heads and couldn't bear to look at them.
A few days ago, the Kaiyuan Realm competition was basically conducted between the inner gates, and it was not so bloody at all, and everyone watched it very enthusiastically, and their emotions were rising.
But today, the first battle was lost, and they were so seriously injured and defeated, and a group of outer disciples were poured a basin of cold water on their heads, and the blows were really not light.
