Chapter 26: The Second Round
Zhou Yue sat down cross-legged and instantly entered the cultivation state, and he wanted to take advantage of the fact that the first round of melee was not over to restore his combat power to the peak state.
It's just that he didn't know that after he entered the cultivation state, Uncle Yun kept staring at him and thought about it.
"There are some extraordinary things about this son, he can grasp the balance of strength and wisdom, he is not cheating, he is not conformist, and he can focus on training. Yun Bo took a deep look at him, and then he didn't care about it, but watched the last few battles that had not yet ended.
Zhou Yue's battle true qi was exhausted, and even the radiant seedlings in the dantian were a little dim, he hurriedly concentrated on sensing the aura of heaven and earth, and a trace of true qi was compressed from the meridians and restored in that radiant seedling, which had not broken through for a few days, but the radiant seedlings seemed to be about to break through.
Zhou Yue thought about it, although this ancient monk is not like sword cultivation that relies on fighting, he can also comprehend a lot in battle, which is also very beneficial to cultivation, no wonder there are people fighting in this fighting field all year round, and he is not afraid of delaying his cultivation.
At this time, the last few battles had also ended, and with a wave of his hand, Yun Bo ranked the top twenty according to the level of cultivation, and he pointed to the fighting field again, and flew to a high platform with everyone.
"You have a cup of tea to recover your true qi and decide on the goal of the challenge. As soon as Yun Bo's words fell, the few people who had just won hurriedly began to meditate.
"That person doesn't seem to be very powerful, otherwise let's fight her!" The sound of the bell sounded, and Zhou Yue looked in the direction pointed by the little girl, but found that it was the woman with a double sword who was the first to end the melee.
The woman suddenly realized something, and in turn glanced at Zhou Yue meaningfully, revealing a slightly provocative smile.
Zhou Yue's heart was cold, and he hurriedly took a few steps back, and secretly said to the bell: "This senior sister is so ruthless and decisive, how can I be her opponent?"
"But the cultivation of the others is very high?" the bell was a little puzzled, and the little girl pointed at the other nineteen people with her true qi and said, "Look, they are all in the late stage of the Spirit Realm!"
Zhou Yue looked around, and if this was the case, except for the woman holding the double sword, it turned out that all of them were monks of the seventh or eighth layer of the Spirit Realm, and among them, there were seven Spirit Realm peaks, including Senior Sister Zuo Zheng, if you didn't choose the woman with the sword, she would be even more passive.
Although this ranking is based on the level of cultivation, if the cultivation of the two is the same, it will be ranked according to the combat power judged by Uncle Yun, counting the sword-wielding woman, there are a total of eight in the sixth layer of the Spirit Realm, but Uncle Yun thinks that the sword-wielding woman is the strongest among the eight people, which is obviously reasonable.
Compared to those late stage cultivators, this senior sister was obviously a soft persimmon, and at this time, the remaining seven spiritual realm monks were all looking at her, and a group of young monks at the fifth and sixth floors of the spiritual realm also began to point fingers at her, obviously planning to ask this senior sister for a bargain.
Ask her to ask for a bargain, and if she doesn't sell you cheaply, it's okay.
Zhou Yue didn't plan to make this trip, he looked around, and secretly selected a big man with a strong shape on the seventh layer of the Spirit Realm, and said to the little girl: "Although that senior sister is not good at cultivation, her combat power is first-class strong, so I better choose that strong man." ”
The little girl looked at the strong man, and then commanded Zhou Yue to look at the woman with the double sword, the former and his companions were talking and laughing, obviously not taking their group of challengers to heart, and the latter smiled at Zhou Yue.
"Let's choose that strong man!" Bell and her glanced at each other and gave up decisively, in the eyes of the little girl, this sister who was not high in cultivation gave her a very strange feeling, so that she instinctively did not want to fight with her.
At this moment, Yun Bo suddenly pointed at Zhou Yue and the others, and several wooden cards fell on their hands, saying, "You can start waiting." ”
Zhou Yue saw that there was an "eight" written on the wooden sign, and he knew that this meant that he was ranked eighth and chose the target to challenge.
Before Zhou Yue, if someone successfully challenged and replaced the position of one of the twenty people, he could also be selected to challenge, but the disciples who were promoted to this kind could only be selected once, but the monks who could defeat those twenty people even if their cultivation was low, their combat effectiveness was not ambiguous.
Similarly, the latter candidates also have the advantage of wheel warfare, they can choose the kind of disciple who has already fought one game as the target of the challenge, unlike the melee, this second round will not give the challenged person time to recover, it is said that this is also to simulate the common battles in the cultivation world, such as being chased by the enemy one after another.
As soon as Yun Bo's words fell, a young man from Zhou Yue's gang came out of the crowd, saluted the woman with two swords, and said, "In Xia Hongye, this senior sister asks for advice." ”
Zhou Yue pursed his lips, this Senior Brother Hong Ye was really upright, he looked around, but saw that there were a few people who shook their heads like him, obviously not optimistic about this young man, although he was also the sixth layer of the Spirit Realm, and in terms of cultivation, he was comparable to the woman with the double sword.
The two exchanged salutes, and the young man took out a short sword, pulled a sword flower, and struck first.
Several sword qi instantly left the short sword in the young man's hand and slashed towards the woman holding the double sword, but the senior sister did not dodge or dodge, just dissolved these sword qi with a casual stroke, and then stepped forward, and the two long swords went straight to the young man's throat!
The young man's face changed, and the short sword in his hand danced into a violent wind, stopping the woman's two long swords, and then they fought together.
But Zhou Yue saw clearly, most of the young man's sword qi defeated the woman's double sword, and then she dodged it with a dexterous step, even if she couldn't avoid the woman, she only used the long sword to deflect the young man's sword qi, and never hit it hard.
It's just that the two of them fought very fast, and there were three or four swords in the flick of his fingers, and the young man was afraid that he still thought that he had a slight upper hand, and the short sword in his hand flickered, and it was three points faster, but it seemed that the woman was like a flat boat in the storm, and she could only drift with the tide weakly.
Bell asked a little puzzled, "Why didn't he cut that sister?"
The little girl also saw very clearly through Zhou Yue's vision that the young man had not landed a sword for such a long time, but because of his onslaught, he wasted a lot of sword energy.
Zhou Yue looked at the reactions of Zuo Zheng and the other seven Spirit Realm peaks, scratched his head, and said, "Because he already only has his own sword in his eyes." ”
This young man is afraid that he has fallen into the wrong path of sword cultivation, sword cultivation itself is a sword that is unparalleled in the world, but this sword must not only look at himself, immersed in the illusion of incomparably sharp and unable to extricate himself, but to do his heart like water, like the woman holding the double sword, instantly hit the opponent's weakness!
The weakness of this young man is his self-confidence, he believes in his sword so much that he can only be driven by the woman with the double sword, and it looks like it will probably take less than half a cup of tea to run out of true qi.
From the cautious temptation at the beginning, to the hard fight now, it was entirely performed by the woman, who at first glance also looked grim and as if she were facing a great enemy, but in fact she dodged all the opponent's attacks, and made the young man think that he had forced her into a corner.
Zhou Yue sighed lightly, this is the so-called "the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear".
"Almost. ”
"This junior brother is so reckless for some reason, but I wouldn't be like that. ”
"I guess in ten breaths the woman will be on the offensive again. ”
The crowd of onlookers talked a lot, and it was obvious that the only one present who had not seen through the killing was the young man who was attacking! He thought that he had suppressed the woman to the death, and even whispered softly: "Almost! If you are a little faster, you will win!"
At this moment, the woman took a step back, and the long sword in her right hand brought a dazzling brilliance!
"Ding!"
It was only then that the boy woke up in shock!
A vigorous force violently knocked away his short sword, which did not have any true qi left, and slashed at the young man's neck with only one sword, if it weren't for the prohibition and protection, he would have been beheaded!
The young man suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, used all his strength to perform a monk's ceremony, and then fell to the ground unconscious, until Yun Bo waved his hand, he woke up leisurely, and left the fighting arena in a gloomy manner. And the woman with the double swords barely used up a bit of her true qi, and it seemed that it would be okay to fight again, and she didn't meditate to recover, but silently observed Zhou Yue and these challengers.
The second challenger was a man with a handful of goatees on the fifth layer of the Spirit Realm, he glanced at the woman holding the double sword with fear, in exchange for an unfathomable smile from the latter, and then he didn't dare to hesitate, he chose a monk from the seventh layer of the Spirit Realm, and after saluting each other, they fought together.
Zhou Yue had hardly seen the scene of an ordinary fifth-layer spiritual realm monk fighting with a full-state seventh-layer monk, and at this time he had seen it-
The goatee man didn't last twenty breaths before he was knocked to the ground by a mass of water behind the seventh-story monk who kept shooting water arrows, and he was sentenced to defeat in a flash of prohibition.
Zhou Yue Yilin, this is the cloud water scattering technique, which can shoot water arrows that do not consume true qi endlessly, and the water arrows released by the water mass with the support of the cultivation of the seventh-layer monk are very powerful, just look at the goatee's hurried appearance, it is not that he doesn't want to fight quickly, but he is pressed and beaten by this water arrow, carrying wave after wave, and he is unable to separate his true qi to attack the seventh-layer monk!
In contrast, when Zhou Yue saw that Zuo Sheng could still use the sword technique, he was already very strong when he fought hard with the person who used Yunshui to scatter his hands.
Those monks of the fifth and sixth layers also sighed one after another, the spell of Yun Shui Sanshou was also extremely useful in the battles of the same level, and it was almost impossible to use it to bully these little monks, if they met this kind of monk when choosing, I am afraid that they would not even have the ability to fight hard.
Zhou Yue thought about it, it seems that he can't challenge one person casually, but to follow the steps of his predecessors and pick out a target that has been tried out of the depth to challenge, and these challengers before lost because they didn't know the depth of the opponent.
Just when Zhou Yue couldn't make up his mind, it was already the turn of the seventh challenger, and one person came out of the crowd, pointed to the big man Zhou Yue had seen before, and said coldly: "This senior brother, please advise!"
