Chapter 208: Passing the Preliminary Round

The remaining three drew lots again, I don't know if Su Aotian's luck was too bad, or some people's ulterior motives arranged, he didn't get a bye again, and had to play one more round.

The remaining two, one from the Immortal Sword Sect in Baihu Prefecture, and the other from the Hushan Sword Sect in Xuanwu Prefecture, are both sword cultivators. The monks of the Immortal Sword Sect were overjoyed when they got the bye, and the Hushan Sword Sect was depressed, and they made up their minds to fight quickly, solve Su Aotian as soon as possible, and not let the people of the Immortal Sword Sect sit and reap the benefits. At the beginning of the game, he condensed his qi into a sword and launched a river-like offensive against Su Aotian.

Sword cultivation pays attention to being strong and persistent, defeating the enemy in one go, and not fighting for a long time. Because the sharpness of the gold system is really unstoppable, the attacks of sword cultivators are fast and ruthless, and when dealing with monks of the same level, they have a great advantage. The contestants of the Tiger Mountain Sword Sect were full of thought that Su Aotianyuan's cultivation in the middle of the infancy would definitely not be able to stop their own offensive, who expected that the opponent's strength was much beyond their imagination, and the morale of the attack could not be defeated, and they attacked violently in a hurry, resulting in a lack of follow-up and accelerating their rout, and the time to persist was not as long as the earth cultivator in the previous round.

The sword cultivators of the Immortal Sword Sect were also a little surprised to see that it was Su Aotian who had won, but they were more excited. This person is more cautious, seeing that Su Aotian actually defeated the sword cultivation of the Tiger Mountain Sword Sect, an opponent he felt a headache with, he didn't dare to be careless, and at the same time, this is also the last game of the rematch, and he can enter the main match if he passes this level, so there is nothing to keep, and he will go all out to prepare to win Su Aotian.

At the beginning, he fought steadily and steadily, planning to spend a while with Su Aotian, but the exercises he practiced were all about preemptive strikes, indomitable, and then pressing forward step by step, and the way of fighting to win in the end was really not what he was good at. After consuming a while, he saw that Su Aotian's aura was long, and his aura was endless, and there was no sign of weakening, so he finally couldn't help but attack. Having learned the lesson of the defeat of the Hushan Sword Sect monk, he did not rush the offensive to the extreme as soon as he came up, but came from weak to strong in waves, intending to lengthen the battle line, first consume Su Aotian almost, and then launch a thunder attack, winning in one fell swoop. The tactical plan was good, and it was slowly unfolded according to his own intentions, but these were all in vain after all, after some tug-of-war, and after launching the final strong attack, he still couldn't break through Su Aotian's defense, and finally lost.

According to his own arrangement, Su Aotian neither showed the dew of the mountains nor turned the danger into a disaster, and entered the main competition smoothly, and the time spent was neither fast nor slow. After the game, he asked Gu Yuntian for news and learned that he had already entered the main competition one step ahead of himself.

After waiting for another month, the semi-finals were fully over, and the four monks with the lowest cultivation, one in the late stage of Yudan, and three in the middle stage of the Yuan Infant, all of them fought their way out of the encirclement from many good hands in the late Yuan Infant stage, and broke into the main competition all the way, which also became a hot topic of discussion. Among them, Xiao Moyan of Chengtianmen, everyone takes it for granted, although Fengqingmen is not as strong as Chengtianmen, but it is also a strong party in Zhuque Prefecture, and it is normal to have this achievement.

And Su Aotian has always been unknown, looking at the information, he turned out to be a casual cultivator, and he actually achieved such results, which is really unexpected. However, his limelight was completely overshadowed by that Jiedan monk Gu Yuntian, although he was born in a famous family, and the four major families in Xuanwu Prefecture were famous, but he was a Jiedan monk after all, and this result immediately made him famous, and they all overshadowed the favorite to win the championship, Sima Shucai of Chengtianmen.

In the end, 128 people covered the coffin, and the eight direct selection quota participants sat on one side, and the rest of the people were immediately drawn to their opponent groups, and they faced off in pairs, until the top three were decided, and the competition of the Yuan Infant Group was over, and then the competition of the refining group was held. I don't know if it's intentional or coincidental, the disciples of the big sect have avoided the situation of fighting in the first two rounds, and the two monks of Chengtianmen have not reached the finals and can't meet their heads.

The gambling house in Zhongzhou Mansion was already gearing up, and according to the situation of these 128 people, they quickly opened the odds. The odds of the popular Sima Shucai winning the championship were opened to two to three, followed by Lu Jingyao, a disciple of the Ethereal Heavenly Palace, the odds were one to eight, and the Feng family's Feng Ningyan odds were two to seven and ranked third.

For the four low-cultivation monks, a lot of odds were also offered. Among them, Su Aotian's odds of winning the championship were opened to 10,000 to 10,000, which was the most looked down upon, in addition, the odds of him passing the first round were also opened, one to 35, it seems that compared to him winning the championship, everyone still thinks that it is more reliable to be able to pass the first round.

For the other three, Gu Yuntian's odds of winning the championship are also open to six thousand, and the odds of Su Aotian are half a catty and eight taels, and the odds of Xiao Moyan and Du Shenglong are relatively not so exaggerated, one to one hundred and twenty and one to one hundred and fifty. Gu Yuntian's odds for passing the first round are 25 to 1, while Xiao Moyan and Du Shenglong are 5 to 1 and 9 respectively. The prospects of these two famous families are still favored by many monks.

Seeing such exaggerated odds, Murong Qiubai and the others were also angry, and Fan Ling'er immediately placed ten medium-grade spirit stones to bet on Su Aotian to win the championship. She didn't want to bet so much, but the casino owner told her that the minimum bet was ten medium-grade spirit stones, and those who had no money should not come. Ten medium-grade spirit stones, in such a gold cave in Zhongzhou Mansion, can only be regarded as insignificant, but for Fan Ling'er, it is definitely a huge amount of money.

When he came back and said to Su Aotian, Su Aotian was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Ling'er, you also think too highly of me, so I'm under a lot of pressure! This odds are a gimmick at first glance, in order to attract the enthusiasm of the monks for betting, who will take it seriously? I have ten high-grade spirit stones here, you can take it and bet me to pass the first round." I really don't have the confidence to win the championship, but if I can't even pass the first round, then why do I come here? There is a clear opportunity to earn spirit stones, and you still don't want to bet?"

Thinking of Su Aotian's methods, they were all full of confidence. Murong Qiu's eyes rolled and said, "Xiaotian, you can't favor one over the other. I'm going to bet, but if you lose, you'll have to pay me the money. Su Aotian smiled dumbly: "The money fan has learned about you." Go ahead, no matter how much you bet, if I lose, I'll pay you back tenfold. The four of them hurried to the casino to place bets.

After coming back, Murong Qiubai's face was solemn and said, "Xiaotian, your luck is not good, your opponent in the first round is the genius disciple of Tianxiang Valley in White Tiger Prefecture, Hua Yujiao. Although Tianxiang Valley is not as powerful as the Xue family, it is also one of the few first-class forces in the White Tiger Prefecture, and this sect is a bit like a sect like Nishang Yuntian, with female cultivators in the majority, and they are good at mind-stirring arts, even if they are higher than them, they are easy to suffer. This Hua Yujiao, it is said that she is the outstanding among the disciples of Yuanying, the preliminary round and the semi-finals are rare opponents, all the way to the finals, the casino opened the odds of winning the championship, is one to one hundred and one, and above Xiao Moyan and Du Shenglong, the odds of passing the first round are one to five, which is much higher than you. Looks like your prospects aren't good!"

As soon as Su Aotian heard it, Xianggu also had a bit of a reputation this day, the so-called heart trick, listening to the name, should be a kind of means of attacking the divine soul, it seems that this sect should have an in-depth study of the divine soul, and the divine soul of the disciples under the sect must be extremely strong. But this advantage is a great headache for others, and for yourself, it is not worth mentioning. This Hua Yujiao, if she uses her aura, she may be able to support it for a while, but if she uses her divine sense to attack, she will only lose faster.

His face remained silent, and he nodded and said, "Hmm." I have to prepare carefully, if I accidentally lose, wouldn't I have to pay for the spirit stone of the great monk Murong?" Fan Ling'er clenched her fists: "Xiaotian, you will never lose, I have confidence in you!"

Entering the main competition, he can be regarded as the elite of the younger generation of Yuanying monks in Chengtianzhou, and the competition is bound to be exciting, and some of the games will be very stale. In order to facilitate the monks to watch the battle, the game is only held once a day, not only can you watch the battle on the spot, the crystal board in the city, but also in different sections, all the games will be played simultaneously, and the monks and relatives and friends of the contestants can go to the designated crystal board to watch the battle and cheer. A monk of Murong Qiubai's level no longer had the ability to go to the scene to watch the battle at this time, and the price of any seat there was beyond their means.

Three days later, the competition officially began. Early in the morning, Murong Qiubai and the four of them went to occupy a seat in front of the crystal board that broadcast this game. Su Aotian had already made preparations, and saw that the time was almost up, before pushing open the door.

There was actually someone waiting outside the door, it was Yuan Hengbo! This beautiful woman was wearing a red dress today, and her face was radiant, which made people dare not look at it too much. In front of her pretty door, next to her was a incense cart. Seeing Su Aotian come out, she said with a smile: "The son is late, he must be in his chest." Hengbo has made a heavy bet on Childe, Childe must come on, don't let Hengbo break the fortune!"

Su Aotian laughed: "As soon as the fairy said this, Su suddenly felt like a big stone pressing on the top, and he wanted to withdraw from the competition!"

Yuan Hengbo said angrily: "Nonsense, even if you are tired to death today, you have to win that Hua Yujiao, otherwise, I won't be laughed at by my classmates!"

While speaking, Yuan Hengbo pulled Su Aotian into the incense car and walked towards the arena. Su Aotian smiled bitterly: "Fairy, don't make such a big fanfare, if I lose, won't you be laughed at!"

Yuan Hengbo smiled: "How can you lose? Hengbo just said two jokes to relieve the boredom of the child! With your strength, it is not surprising to win the championship, but Hengbo is very optimistic about you!"
