Chapter 979: To each his own mind
The sun is shining in the early morning, the cool breeze is blowing, the Wanliu Mountain is crowded with people, looking up, the vast crowd can not see the edge at a glance, and the main stand of Wanliu Mountain is located with hundreds of famous people in the cultivation world and the heads of nine places.
Every World Tournament is held in Wanliu Mountain, which is not far from Kyushu City, only eleven kilometers away. The topography of Wanliu Mountain is extremely special, with cliffs on three sides, and the top of the mountain is a flat land ten kilometers square, which can accommodate tens of millions of people at the same time without being too crowded.
The void outside the cliffs on three sides of Wanliu Mountain is a huge floating light ring, there are two hundred and forty ways, stretching to the end of the eye, and only nine places with deep wealth can arrange such a scale floating light ring.
Above the two hundred and forty floating light rings is a huge platform, on which sit hundreds of referees, and the chief referee will preach the rules of the competition.
The rules of the competition are very simple, a one-on-one fair duel, you can cast any method, the time is not limited, until one side admits defeat, leaves the ring, and dies, if the cultivator does not play for one minute after the start of the competition, it is regarded as abstaining, and the opponent abstains The cultivator is automatically promoted.
"Okay, everyone knows the rules very well, now the competition has officially begun, please ask the cultivators numbered one in each group to start the competition, and now start the timer!" The voice of the chief referee blessed the true qi resounded through the four fields, so that everyone could hear it clearly.
With the chief referee's order, four hundred and eighty cultivators who had already prepared jumped out of the sea of people at the same time, rushed to the rings with different numbers, and the preliminary round began.
Everyone needs to play one game in the first round of the preliminary round, and the first round of the fight is also the fastest, because the number of the fight is completely random, and the strength of each pair of cultivators is uneven, and it is rare to be evenly matched, and basically the winner is determined within a few moves.
As the competition began, the shouts on the top of the mountain were terrifying, and the passion of all the cultivators was mobilized by the fierce battle.
Xiao Cheng sat in the side stands, watching the fierce fight in the ring with interest, although the cultivators in the ring were much lower in cultivation than him, learning other people's fighting methods would always help improve his experience.
This stand is prepared by the top 100 sects in the cultivation world in nine places, and the disciples of the top 100 sects can sit on this stand and watch the battle, and they don't need to stand on the flat ground like other cultivators, and the view here is very good, it is on the edge of the cliff, and it will not be blocked by obstacles.
In addition to the top ten holy places, there are also evil sects, demon sects, Buddhist temples, etc., and most of the famous young powerhouses of this generation are gathered here, and you can see many familiar powerhouses.
Of course, Xiao Cheng sat with the disciples of the Sword Pavilion, in front of him were the disciples of the Kunlun faction, and in the back row were the disciples of the Taiyi Palace, and on the left and right were the Tianmu faction and the Emei faction, and they were all acquaintances.
Ye Lingdie supported her cheeks with one hand, sat behind Xiao Cheng, watched the battle in the ring intently, and suddenly asked, "Who do you say will win the fifteenth ring?"
Xiao Cheng glanced back at Ye Lingdie and said with a faint smile: "It's hard to say, the strength of the two is good, if it weren't for the two of them in a group, maybe both of them would have a chance to enter the semifinals." ”
"Yes, it can only be said that the two of them are unlucky!" Ye Lingdie said with regret.
As the two spoke, Ning Qianyu in the front row suddenly turned around, quite unhappy that Xiao Cheng and Ye Lingdie were so close, and interjected to interrupt the small talk between the two and asked, "Hey, stinky rascal, which game are you playing?"
Today's Ning Qianyu is wearing a lilac wide-sleeved skirt, her skin is like snow, her eyes are zirconium, and she is extremely moving in the sun, especially the black and white and moist eyes, which are fascinating to look at.
Xiao Cheng turned around and smiled: "I, I guess I will play tomorrow, what?"
"It's nothing, I just want to see you beaten into a pig's head by others!" Ning Qianyu wrinkled her nose, and then turned around after speaking, not bothering to pay attention to Xiao Cheng.
Xiao Cheng only felt inexplicable, and said in his heart that this girl was like eating gunpowder today, and he didn't provoke her.
At this time, Yan Taiqing, who was sitting on the side, turned his head, showed a modest smile, and asked with a smile: "Brother Xiao, are you sure to win the crown of the world competition this time, I think with Brother Xiao's strength, there is a chance that you can go to the last step!"
I'm afraid the only one who can become Brother Xiao's opponent is the bloody ruthless man, to be honest, I can't believe that he is actually a person from the Nine Places, the bloody ruthless man is murderous, Brother Xiao should be more careful!"
Xiao Cheng was stunned, and smiled coldly in his heart, he really admired Yan Taiqing, one set in front of him and one behind his back, and he changed his face to become a fast, if he hadn't been clear about Yan Taiqing's mind, I am afraid that he really believed that Yan Taiqing was for his good.
When Yan Taiqing said this, he didn't instigate him to fight with the bloody ruthless man in disguise, so that he could die in the hands of the bloody ruthless man, and smiled quietly: "Thank you Brother Yan for reminding me, you must be more careful, Brother Yan is the same, be careful in his hands!"
A trace of pity flashed in Yan Taiqing's eyes, Xiao Cheng probably didn't know that he had a very good relationship with the bloody ruthless man, how could the bloody ruthless man definitely kill him, thinking that Xiao Cheng would die in the hands of the bloody ruthless man in a few days, he felt a burst of happiness in his heart, hoping that time would pass faster.
Yan Taiqing didn't notice it at this time, and Ye Lingdie's eyes behind Xiao Cheng also flashed with a trace of pity, feeling that Yan Taiqing could be hateful and pitiful.
Ning Qianxi listened to the conversation between the two in her ears, her heart was restless, and she was still thinking about her own doubts, whether Xiao Cheng was a bloody and ruthless person, if so, how could he say such a thing, could it be that his guess was completely wrong.
But don't wait too long, in a few days in the finals, with Xiao Cheng's strength, most of them will meet bloody and ruthless people, if the two compete on the same stage, it means that the two are not alone......
Several people had different thoughts, thinking about their own things, and the speed of the fight was extremely fast, almost every minute someone lost, and a fight usually did not last more than three minutes.
On the main stand, sitting side by side with Venerable Yan and the Director of the Ninth Division, the eyes of the two stayed behind Xiao Cheng for a while, and the two looked at each other and smiled, both of them seeing their respective thoughts.
Jiang Hongzhen smiled in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them: "Elder Heyan, how do you say he should continue to act? If he enters the finals, the first person he will face will be the bloody and ruthless man, that is, himself!"
"Hehe, this kid is fine, I speculate that he will definitely find an excuse to withdraw from the game in the semi-finals, so that he will not meet himself, look!" Venerable He Yan sneered.
Jiang Hongzhen nodded and said with a smile: "I think so, this is the best way to avoid conflict!"
Xiao Chengshu, who was watching the battle, didn't know that someone had already discovered his identity, and while paying attention to the battle situation, he was thinking about using handicap gambling to make money.
There are many people in the first round of the preliminary round, more than 60,000 people have to play more than 30,000 games, the goals are too scattered, and the enthusiasm of the cultivators to participate in the handicap is not high, although the handicap has been opened, but there are not many spirit stones to be fished in the early stage, and he plans to wait for the sixth round of the preliminary round to intervene.
In the sixth round, there are only eight people left in each group, the goal is clear, the attention of each beat is high, the atmosphere is also pulled up, and there will be more people participating in the handicap, which is easier to operate and more profitable.
The competition went on very quickly, it only took ten minutes to start, and it was already the seventh game, Ye Lingdie floated to the ring, and she was playing against a little-known female cultivator, who was no more than the eighth order of Jindan, without any suspense, and the female cultivator admitted defeat by herself, so Ye Lingdie was a little disappointed.
Then many acquaintances went to the ring, and they all ended in victory, and his acquaintances were also outstanding powerhouses, and winning the first game of the preliminary round was not a problem. To his surprise, Murong Yunyan had also broken through the realm of Yuan Ying, he hadn't heard any rumors beforehand, this woman was hiding deeply.
In the morning, twenty-seven battles were held in each ring, and the lunch break was an hour to rest, and the tens of millions of cultivators on Wanliu Mountain dispersed, and Xiao Cheng and his party returned to the Penglai Inn, where they were temporarily stationed.
Xiao Cheng was about to enter the house, when he heard a rather anxious shout from behind him: "Uncle Xiao, please stay!"
Xiao Cheng looked back, it was Qing Zhenming, this kid, seeing Qing Zhenming's bitter face, he felt slightly strange, and teased: "What's the matter?
"That...... Uncle Junior, I'm going to play in the twenty-eighth game in the afternoon, but the opponent is Euro Dragon, and I have a very small chance of winning, so I want to ask Uncle Xiao for help!" Qingzhen hesitated.
In the face of Euro Dragon, he didn't have much chance of winning, and he thought about it all night last night, but he couldn't think of a way, so he decided to find Uncle Xiao, maybe Uncle Xiao had a way.
"Euro Dragon? This name sounds familiar, I think of it, it is one of the ten little heavenly kings!" Xiao Cheng pondered carefully, Qing Zhenming's qualifications are good, and his cultivation has already reached the peak of Jindan, but he is probably a cut worse than Euro Dragon.
As the junior uncle of the Sword Pavilion, he has a good relationship with Qingzhen Ming, of course he will not sit idly by, but now it is too late to teach Qingzhen Ming's sword skills on Xiaoyao Island, and he can only use forbidden pills.
"It's not that there is no way, I have a forbidden pill that instantly improves my strength, but the forbidden pill has a lot of side effects, which may affect the future comparison, you have to think about it!" Xiao Cheng hesitated.
Qing Zhenming was overjoyed, his eyes lit up: "Really, it doesn't matter, I have the strongest Euro Dragon in this group, if I defeat him, it will be much easier later, and maybe I can even reach the semi-finals!"
Xiao Cheng handed over a six-rank Tengyun Pill to Qing Zhenming, this Tengyun Pill can instantly increase the strength of three and a half percent, Qingzhen Ming and Euro Dragon's cultivation is the same, although there is a gap in strength, but it is not too much worse, it is enough to have this Tengyun Pill, of course, the premise is that the other party does not have a forbidden pill.
Xiao Cheng reminded: "You have to think about it, it's best not to take it if you can, this pill is harmful to the meridians, the good thing is that as long as the meridians are not damaged strictly, after the effect of the medicine passes, the strength will not be affected too much!"
"It's ...... This is...... Six-pin Pill Tengyun Pill ......" Qingzhen looked at the pill in his hand in a daze, it was the first time he had seen the six-pin pill.
