Chapter 55: The First Eight
When!
The long knife fell to the ground, and Du Qing stood on the stage stupidly, his mind was blank, and he couldn't even feel the cold blade of the sword on his neck.
How could I lose? Obviously evenly matched, no one can help the other party, I should fight another 300 rounds, how can I lose?
"Du Shaoxia, admit it!" Pang Xie smiled.
"I... I..."Du Qing wanted to say that he hadn't lost yet, and he would continue to fight, but unfortunately in front of everyone, doing so was tantamount to cheating, and he didn't have to mix in the rivers and lakes in the future, so he sighed: "Thank you Bai Shaoxia for your advice, we'll meet again in the future!"
The two of them each said a few words, Pang Xie turned around and left, and got out of the ring with satisfaction, this competition just now, not only increased the experience of fighting with people, but also saw the martial arts here, and the harvest was great, and it was worth the trip.
Du Qing looked at the back of Pang Xie leaving, sighed, bent down to pick up the black iron broadsword, and also walked towards the stage.
He came this time, returned from defeat, and experienced the truth of "there are people outside the people, and there are mountains outside the mountains", and later returned to Songshan, practiced penance for more than 20 years, and finally practiced a body of internal and external kung fu to the point of perfection, and then he had to fight the rivers and lakes again.
It's a pity that as soon as he came out of the mountain this time, he provoked a sword immortal who was a sword immortal, and he lost even worse than this time, that's a story for later.
In the black peng in the north, Tian Huaiyuan's eyes narrowed into a slit, and he smiled like an old fox who had just stolen a chick, and he kept shouting, and said: "Elder Guo, you just said that my Bai Shi nephew didn't give Du Qing a chance, and now I have given the opportunity, but it's a pity that Du Qing is not angry, and the Bai master and nephew later used our Luoying Island's swordsmanship, and it was still a big victory, I don't know what Elder Guo else thinks?"
Guo Nu's face was gloomy and he could squeeze out water, and said coldly: "Listen to what you mean, is your martial arts on Luoying Island stronger than the Songshan faction?"
This sentence seems to be just a casual conversation, but it involves the reputation of the two major sects of Luoying Island and the Songshan faction, and if it spreads to the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that it will be another dispute.
Tian Huaiyuan is so old and spicy, how could he fall into his trap, he smiled, and said: "I didn't say that, I just think that our martial arts in Qingzhou are good, and they are stronger than Yuzhou, so they don't have to go so far to learn martial arts." ”
This sentence suddenly turned the comparison between Luoying Island and the Songshan faction into a comparison between Qingzhou and Yuzhou, Qingzhou Jiedu made Zhang Zhun here, Guo Nu was another guts, and he didn't dare to deny it directly, so he had to snort, shut up, and sit there.
......
After Pang Xie left the ring, the ring match continued, and next, the disciples of the four major sects, such as Ruyi Monk and Mu Tianyin, stepped into the ring one after another, and all of them easily won the victory.
The first round began in the morning and continued until it was getting dark, with torches lit around the area, and the final pair was decided, with a total of 13 of the 16 seeded players making the cut, and only 3 of the 16 qualifiers having competed.
In previous competitions, although the seeded players also had a clear advantage, it would not be so obvious, but in this session, the young man who played against Gao Feng and Du Qing who fought with Pang Xie were all qualified to be promoted to the top 16, but they were unlucky, and the two they met were too strong, so they conceded defeat.
Of the three players who participated in the preliminaries, two of them have very clear backgrounds, one surnamed Tian is a child from a family in Jimo Mansion, and the other is surnamed Zuo, who is a personal disciple of the owner of a martial arts hall in Qingzhou Fucheng.
There is another person with a mysterious origin, this person is dressed in black, his face is expressionless, he does not report his origin, only said that his surname is Wu, he is a loose cultivator from Dengzhou Mansion, holding a pair of steel guns, the gun is three feet long, and it is varied, and he is better than a disciple with a very high voice in the Forging Feng Hall, but it makes everyone impressed.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that Mo Lao Er also passed the first game, he came very late in this game, only half an hour away from missing the game, but fortunately arrived in time at the last moment.
Mo Harrier was in a very poor state in this game, his body was sluggish, his swordsmanship was sluggish, and he didn't even play fifty percent of his kung fu, and Mo Falcon kept shaking his head, but fortunately, his opponent was an acquired martial artist, and he was too far away from him, so he barely won in the end.
After this battle, the boss of the Mo family went to find Mo Harrier and asked him how he was doing, but unfortunately Mo Harrier only said that he was unwell and needed to recuperate for a period of time, and he refused to say a word more.
......
After the first round, there was a day of rest according to the rules.
Pang Xie had nothing else to do, so he discussed the sword with Gao Feng in the courtyard, with the experience of the past few days, he had a deeper understanding of the swordsmanship, and put forward many of his own opinions, especially since he himself was a cultivator, although he did not understand martial arts, but his understanding of the Dao was extremely profound, and occasionally two sentences integrated the Dao into the swordsmanship, which made Gao Feng nod frequently.
This time, the boss of the Mo family also participated, but his cultivation was not as good as Pang Xie, and his swordsmanship was not as good as Gao Feng.
The second child of the Mo family still goes out early and returns late, he doesn't know what to do, and he doesn't say much to anyone, but occasionally comes over to say hello to Pang Xie, and his eyes are always weird, a little intimate, a little pity, and a little painful, which makes Pang Xie feel furious.
On April 10, the second round of the main competition kicked off, and the competition of 16 into 8 officially began.
Pang Xie and others came to the Chengxi school field early, and they were mentally prepared for the battle, and from this round onwards, they encountered hard stubble, and it was difficult to pick out soft persimmons and pinch them.
Pang Xie's opponent in this match was a disciple of the Forging Blade Hall.
This person's surname is Wei Minghai, his martial arts are quite good, and he has practiced the inexhaustible meaning of "Earth Fire and Flame" true qi, with a mixed iron killing stick, he has the qualification to compete for the list, but unfortunately he met Pang Xie, it was really bad luck, after three hundred rounds, he was hit by Pang Xie with a sword in the wrist, the long stick fell to the ground, and he nodded and admitted.
Pang Xie was naturally very satisfied with this battle, and Tian Huaiyuan was even more satisfied than him, a few random jokes made Guo Nu's face darker than the bottom of the pot, and he was in a happy mood.
After this round, Pang Xie and Gao Feng all entered the top eight, and the Mo brothers collapsed one after another.
Boss Mo was too unlucky, he directly met the Ruyi monk of the King Kong Temple, the two sides fought for seventy or eighty rounds, and he didn't find half a chance, in fact, if it wasn't for the Ruyi monk who saved him face, he was afraid that he would admit it if he didn't have ten rounds.
When the two of them fought, the audience was full of flowers, the waves were turbulent, I don't know how many women gathered, all of them were supporters of the Ruyi monk, Mo Falcon doubted, in case he won, I was afraid that these people would have to tear him alive.
Mo Lao Er's state was even worse this time, and his performance was not even as good as the previous game, but after thirty or fifty moves, he was defeated, and after stepping down, he didn't say hello to others, and turned his head to leave the school.
So far, the top eight in the Young Dragon List Ring Competition have been decided, including Pang Xie, Gao Feng, Ruyi Monk, Mu Tianyin, Ren Hao, the first master of the younger generation of Forging Fengtang, Guangtai, the junior disciple of Ruyi Monk, the mysterious black-clothed man surnamed Wu, and the martial arts disciple surnamed Zuo in Qingzhou Mansion City.
The last brother took advantage of Mo Harrier, and he was close to the quarterfinals, which can be regarded as a fluke.
