Chapter 31: The Battle in the Ring
The road ahead has been opened, and the two soon came to the initial position of Li Lei's pass.
"This is it, can you break the ice directly opposite?"
"Yes, though, that's just one possibility, and if there isn't a circular platform like the first level, we're going to keep looking. ”
"In that case, fellow Daoist, please stand back, and I will break this ice. ”
Hearing this, Xue Ying took a few steps back, "You can break the ice with peace of mind, and I will help you protect the Dharma in case you are attacked on your back." ”
Li Lei roared, his whole body suddenly became twice the size of the original, his hands were clenched into fists, and he hit the ice directly, only to hear the sound of "click, click" twice, and two small cracks appeared on the ice.
Xue Ying had a deeper understanding of Li Lei's strength, after all, it took her a day to blast open an ice layer by herself, and Li Lei's short moment of change made the ice layer crack, if his fists hit the Qi cultivator, it was estimated that he would be seriously injured immediately, or even killed.
After Li Lei swung his fists, he controlled his body to change back to its original appearance, and then punched one punch after another on the crack, the strength was much weaker than before, but it also successfully broke the ice in half a day.
He showed his strength in front of Xue Ying, which could not only give the opponent a deterrent, so that the opponent would not give up the alliance easily, but also did not display all the spiritual power, and took it back in time, leaving room for himself, which showed that he was also a monk with a rough and fine mind and an extraordinary mind.
The two of them stepped into the next ice room, and a circular platform came into view. "Great, I didn't expect that the first possible position we came to was where the real formation eye was!" Xue Ying was excited, this greatly saved the time for clearing the level, and it had an indescribable advantage for the next level.
"Daoyou's formation attainments are really extraordinary, I hope we still have a chance to cooperate. ”
"Daoyou has a good reputation, I also admire Daoyou's ability, let's go to the next level now!"
"Good!"
Both of them have an appreciation for each other in their hearts, and secretly hope that they will not become enemies in the future, otherwise even if they win, they will pay a lot of price. After that, both sides stepped onto the round platform at the same time and disappeared into the ice room.
......
The two of them came to an open field, and there were already dozens of people meditating cross-legged here. Xue Ying and Li Lei glanced at each other, then separated, and practiced with their eyes closed like everyone else.
Three days passed like this, and at noon on the fourth day, an old man with long hair who did not smile came to the square and used his spiritual power to spread his voice throughout the venue, and his words were strong and unquestionable.
"Ninety-eight of you are all monks who passed the first two levels at the specified time, and the monks who are still stranded in the first two levels have been eliminated and sent out, and the entry quota will be generated among you.
You may have learned by virtue of real talent, or you may have been lucky, or you may have relied on the help of your family to get here, but this third level depends on your own true skills!
The first level - the path of inquiry, to check whether your determination to cultivate immortals is firm, and whether you have other intentions for the Meteor Sect, the second level - the extreme environment, to test your ability to survive and observe under harsh conditions, and the third level - the ring battle, is to test your actual combat ability, which is also an extremely crucial step.
The resources of the immortal cultivation realm are limited, and the needs of the monks are unlimited, so you need to grab and grab them, without the ability to fight, it is difficult to go far no matter how high your cultivation is!"
Noticing that the expressions of the monks in the arena changed from joy to sternness, the old man said, "I will now explain the rules of the third level - the ring battle. The quota for the Meteor Sect to recruit outer disciples this time is still ten, and I will demarcate ten areas as the ring, and the last ten people to guard the ring are the outer disciples of the Meteor Sect.
Attention, just in case it is unfavorable to the monk who fights first, the Meteor Sect specially took out a bottle of spiritual milk condensed in the mine for ten years, its value does not need me to go into details, and each person who defeats can get a drop!"
A bottle of ten-year spiritual milk is about 100 drops, which is worth ten years of penance, so that the qi cultivators present are all ecstatic, and they all sigh that there is no assessment in vain, even if they do not enter the Meteor Sect, it is worth the trip to get a few drops of spiritual milk.
Xue Ying was also excited, but not for herself, but for the little ant, because the little ant was sucking the spiritual energy in the food to cultivate, and the benefits of this spiritual milk to it were far greater than herself, and three drops should be able to upgrade it to a third-level demon beast.
The old man was satisfied with the effect of the spiritual milk, and successfully aroused everyone's enthusiasm. "Everyone, pay attention, each person can only choose one ring to challenge, and if you fail, you will be eliminated, admit defeat or die, if you think about it, you can start!"
As soon as the old man's words fell, eight monks immediately selected eight rings, including Li Lei, and there were two ring areas where no one had yet gone forward. Many monks were still waiting, trying to find a relatively weak guardian monk or the idea that they would not want spiritual milk and wait until the end might benefit the fisherman, only three monks were optimistic about the three guardian monks and rushed over.
Xue Ying was conflicted in her heart, not only wanting more spiritual milk, which meant that the sooner she rushed out, the better, but also wanting to be able to pass the entrance assessment safely, so it was particularly important to observe and understand the opponent more, and the later she appeared, the more advantaged she had. She treats the dead horse as a live horse doctor and asks the little ant's opinion.
"First brother, do you think I should go to the ring now, or wait a little longer?"
"Of course I'll go now, Xiaoying, you must be able to, it's best to fight ten games, get ten drops of spiritual milk, those who see it have a share, give me half, hehehehehe!"
"Knowing that your gluttony has committed it again, you stupid head can't have any good ideas. ”
"Where am I stupid, you are stupid!"
Xue Ying didn't argue with the little ant, but said, "Wealth is in danger, I'll fight this time, and we'll go and occupy one of the remaining two rings." ”
"You see, in the end, they didn't listen to me, and they called me stupid!" the little ant snorted arrogantly, twisting his head to the side.
Xue Ying stepped into the ninth ring, and immediately concentrated on arranging a complex chain formation nearby, which could help her defeat her opponent at the lowest cost, and it was not necessary to persist in ten fights, so she didn't notice the little ant who had an awkward quarrel with herself because of a joke.
As soon as the formation was arranged, a monk with thick limbs and distinct eyebrows and eyes stepped forward like a tiger. "Fellow Daoist, my Sun Shan is here, I advise you to admit defeat as soon as possible, otherwise your arms, legs and feet will be broken, and you won't be able to blame me, haha!"
Xue Ying's eyes were firm, she clenched her fists and smiled, and changed her words, "Life and death are fate, Xue Ying will not blame Daoyou." However, my cultivation is not yet proficient, and I can't control the power of my shots, and I also hope that Daoist friends can be Haihan. ”
"Little sister, your tone is not small, eat me with a punch!" His arms suddenly became larger, his muscles were exposed, and he rushed in the direction of Xue Ying.
Seeing the changes in Li Lei's body when he attacked as a physical cultivator, Sun Shan's arms were thickened, Xue Ying didn't feel shocked, after all, the air backlog brought by Sun Shan's punch was far less than Li Lei's. Xue Ying had no expectations for him, and directly opened the attack formation, wind, frost, rain and snow, ready to fight quickly.
Sure enough, Sun Shan fell into the formation, just rushing around like a brute bull, with more than enough strength, insufficient dexterity, and constantly being attacked by defensive loopholes, he could resist at the beginning, and soon his spiritual power was exhausted and defeated, admitting defeat.
After Sun Shan, three more monks came to fight, and although they were also defeated, Xue Ying's formation had been completely destroyed and urgently needed to be repaired. At this moment, a familiar voice came, still as rude as before, self-righteous, "You really broke through to the third level, and you actually held the ring, but when you meet me, you should stop here!"
"It's you. ”
This woman is the person who had a dispute with Xue Ying at the temporary cave rental, and she also said that she would make Xue Ying lose in the third level.
Xue Ying didn't continue to arrange the formation, ready to use her to exercise her fighting ability, but the more important reason was that the formation consumed more spirit stones, and she was about to run out of spirit stones.
She took out the Fengyun Sword and the Lotus Table, quietly activated the Lotus Table, and talked to the other party with a chuckle on the corner of her mouth, buying time for the Lotus Platform to be activated. "I'm Xue Ying, can you tell me your origin, so that I can see it. ”
"Hmph, I am the princess from the royal family of Zhao State, and I am also the cousin of Ouyang Han, the young patriarch of the Ouyang family of the first Xiuzhen family of Zhao State, Zhao Xue, this time I came with my cousin, if you dare to hurt me, Zhao Guo and Ouyang family will not let you go!"
"Oh, is that the Zhao country that has no sect inheritance in the country, and still wants domestic monks to come thousands of miles to Yan Country to participate in the entrance assessment?" After the lotus platform was activated, Xue Ying deliberately lengthened her voice and joked word by word.
Zhao Xue's own pride disappeared without a trace, and she felt that she had lost face, and she was angry, so she took out her whip and threw it at Xue Ying.
Xue Ying didn't react superfluously, she just blocked the petals of the lotus platform forward, and after she was at the base of the lotus platform, she perfectly dodged the attack.
Xue Ying's light wind lightly stung Zhao Xue's eyes, "Let you see my true ability, Sleeping Snake, wake up, and give your enemy a fatal blow." ”
Zhao Xue let go of the long whip in his hand, only to see that its head was slowly getting thicker, and its tail was shaking, it turned out to be a living snake, stretching out a long letter in the direction of Xue Ying, and slammed it backwards, rushing in front of Xue Ying.
Xue Ying didn't have a passive defense this time, holding the lotus platform in one hand to block half of her body, and holding the Fengyun Sword in the other hand to step forward without a trace, slashing at its head seven inches away.
Zhao Xue's face was hideous, "Ah, you dare to cut my sleeping snake! However, I have more, now I see if you can cut it over, you go up together, go!"
Xue Ying walked around the ring without a trace, casually cutting off the head of the sleeping snake at hand, and using her spiritual power to change the defensive state of the lotus platform to an attack form. After the conversion was completed, Xue Ying stood still, and when the remaining sleeping snakes rushed over together, nine petals made of dark iron rotated at high speed, cutting off their heads one by one, and the scene was very bloody.
Xue Ying held the lotus platform, "Do you want to release some more?"
"You, the baby I have raised for more than ten years was actually destroyed by you like this, I fought with you!" Zhao Xue looked crazy.
"That's right, it's time for me to make a move, otherwise you will always treat me as a soft persimmon for you to handle!" Xue Ying put away the lotus platform and intersected with Zhao Xue's double swords.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
"I'm not going to play with you anymore, so it's a quick fix. ”
Xue Ying held the Fengyun Sword and cooperated with the ethereal trace, forming a whirlwind, like many Xue Ying stabbing at Zhao Xue from all directions, making her unavoidable.
