Chapter 30: Hand-to-hand
Shen Shi Shi. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The sun hung obliquely in mid-air, the sunlight sprinkled silently on the martial arts arena, the smoke of the ring slowly dissipated, and immediately, it was time for the dust to settle.
The chief draw of lots from the four academies determines the order of battle.
Every year, the rules of the Dabi of the Dishui Guan Lower Court have changed, but everything has changed, and it is always the chief to the chief, and the thirtieth to the thirtieth.
If the thirtieth disciple wins the battle and gets one point, then the chief disciple who wins the battle will get ten points for the academy he represents. In each big competition, the college with the most points is the first, and they will allocate more resources the next year.
In this big competition, the Golden Sword Pavilion is far ahead, even if the chief loses, it will still be ranked first, and it will obtain the most resources. And in the previous battle, more than half of the thirty disciples who participated in the battle had stepped into the Qi Refining Realm, and after this battle, most of them would have invested in Tianzhu Peak.
Elder Chai Li, who came forward on behalf of Tianzhu Peak, smiled like an old chrysanthemum, and he was born in an old aristocratic background, and he stroked three strands of long hair from time to time, and his pride was overflowing.
The Drizzle Pavilion and the Listening Wind Building are located in the third, and the Shuangzhao Hall is at the bottom.
If it weren't for Sima Qingshan's successful victory over Tingfeng Lou's second disciple in the previous confrontation, Shuangzhaotang would have been defeated, and there would be no chance of a comeback. Now, as long as Gu Xiaozhao can defeat Gu Zhange, the chief of the Golden Sword Pavilion, and Meng Zhao, the chief of the Tingfeng Tower, loses to Su Tingyu of the Drizzle Pavilion, Shuangzhaotang still has a chance to step into the third place.
The two chiefs of Tingfeng Tower and Drizzle Pavilion took the lead in fighting.
Su Tingyu and Meng Zhao were both at the first level of the Qi Refining Realm, and their skills were comparable.
It's just that Su Tingyu's cultivation of the Eight Directions Wind and Rain Gathering Divine Technique is too weird, and the qi released from it is like raindrops, ubiquitous, and difficult to prevent, so it is a narrow victory.
Next, it was Gu Xiaozhao's turn to play.
As long as he can defeat Gu Zhange, this time, Shuangzhaotang will be able to rank third and get rid of the bad name of the 10,000-year-old man, but I'm afraid that none of you here thinks that there is such a possibility.
The high-level officials of Shuangzhaotang left their seats one after another, and Mo Jue stayed alone.
If he didn't see Gu Xiaozhao die with his own eyes, he was ten thousand worried.
Gu Xiaozhao untied the long sword hanging from his waist, held the scabbard in his left hand, pressed the hilt of the sword with his right hand, and slowly moved forward.
The name of the sword is Zhaoxue, cast by Hua Changfeng, a master of Puyang refining, and the materials are wind copper, meteorite gold, and seven silver ...... This sword Gu Xiaozhao couldn't use it before, and it could only be used after stepping into the Qi Refining Realm.
Qi Refining Realm martial artists can release Gang Qi, and not all weapons can be used.
Weapons cast from ordinary materials can't withstand the impact of Gang Qi at all, even if they are lucky enough to withstand it, the effect is not good, and the original ten Gang Qi may only have three points of power after being output through ordinary weapons. And a good weapon, such as one engraved with a rune, even has an amplification effect.
Zhaoxue's material is good, and it comes from the hand of the refining master, although it does not have a rune bonus, it is also a good weapon.
A few years ago, Gu Quan gave Zhao Xue to Gu Xiaozhao and treated it as a gift to celebrate Gu Xiaozhao's entry into the Qi Cultivation Realm in advance.
Slowly stepped on the wooden ladder, and after getting into the ring, a handyman stepped forward and moved the wooden ladder away.
On the other side, Gu Zhange's performance was not so bland.
He waved his hand and asked the people to move the wooden ladder, and the toes touched the ground lightly, and the person rose as if the wind was blowing up, and flew into the ring.
Suddenly, there was an uproar in the audience.
All kinds of envious sycophants sounded, almost everyone applauded them, and even most of the disciples of Shuangzhaotang stood on Gu Zhange's side, thinking that Gu Xiaozhao had no chance of winning.
It's a good one.
Gu Zhange practiced this trick to perfection, without the slightest hint of fireworks.
The children of the aristocratic gate lords like to practice similar tricks, and he is no exception, and he also likes this faint feeling of pretending, which is as smoky as drinking alcohol on a snowy night in winter in the exclamations of others.
Mu Xiaosang pursed her lips unobtrusively, and her gaze fell on Gu Xiaozhao.
Somehow, she always felt that this young man who was in a vulnerable position at first glance was not as simple as it seemed.
Mu Xiaosang is the senior sister of Yinfeng, a former super genius, when she first entered Yinfeng, she was as deep as the sea.
A few years ago, the teacher fell when she was impacting the innate nature, and she became the person in charge of the Hidden Peak, at that time, she was the sixth layer of the Qi Refining Realm, and now, she is still stuck in the sixth layer and cannot advance an inch.
Over the years, the resources obtained by Yinfeng have been reduced and few, and it has been unable to make ends meet.
Originally, there were not many disciples of Yinfeng, but recently, some people have left one after another and switched to other peaks.
Well, plus her, there are only 12 people.
Hopefully we'll be able to add new members this time, right?
In the previous sessions, none of the lower court disciples joined the Hidden Peak, except for Mu Xiaosang, most of the Hidden Peak disciples did not think that this time could be an exception.
They actually persuaded Mu Xiaosang not to come to the lower courtyard to embarrass people.
However, Mu Xiaosang did not agree, and still insisted on coming to the lower house.
She didn't know what she was insisting on, but she knew that she was the real her, just like when she entered the hidden peak without hesitation in order to repay her kindness regardless of the persuasion of the people around her.
"Gu Xiaozhao?"
As a disciple of the Golden Sword Pavilion, Gu Zhange's weapon was a coiling dragon stick, he held the stick in one hand, and the head of the stick was facing Gu Xiaozhao, with a look of disapproval.
Gu Xiaozhao nodded and did not speak.
Gu Zhange frowned slightly, looked at Gu Xiaozhao carefully, and then, he turned around and looked at the audience, and asked his companion disciple Gu Meng.
"Gu Meng, is this guy a bit similar to the young master and me?"
Offstage, Gu Meng, who looked as majestic as a mountain, glanced at Gu Xiaozhao, grinned, and then turned around and said angrily.
"Young master, this guy is very similar to you!"
Gu Zhange smiled, he looked at Gu Xiaozhao and said softly.
"It seems that you are really the son of my third uncle, everyone is a relative, there is no need to fight to death, otherwise, you just jump out of the ring and admit defeat!"
Are Gu Zhange and Gu Xiaozhao relatives?
Hearing this, many people were dumbfounded!
Gu Xiaozhao shook his head silently and smiled as well.
Gu Zhange frowned slightly.
"In that case, let's compare and compare, I heard that in the Shuangzhaotang test, you crossed the border to challenge and killed a Qi Refining Realm master, for a while, you have to be merciful!"
Gu Xiaozhao didn't reply, and slowly pulled out the long sword in the sheath.
The sun fell, and the sword was like water.
"Agreed!"
Gu Zhange put away his smile, held a stick in one hand, and walked lazily towards Gu Xiaozhao.
One inch long, one inch strong.
One inch short, one inch dangerous.
According to common sense, Gu Zhange, who was holding a long weapon, should keep a distance and not let Gu Xiaozhao, who was holding a sharp sword, get close, but he took the initiative to approach uncharacteristically.
For a while, Gu Xiaozhao couldn't guess the other party's intentions.
However, he is not afraid at all, the so-called intention is to be qi first, as long as the other party's qi moves, his thoughts can capture the trajectory of the opponent's true qi, and he is not afraid that he will take advantage of it.
About a foot away from Gu Xiaozhao, Gu Zhange stopped.
"Phew!"
He roared, waved a coiling dragon stick about eight feet long, and swept towards Gu Xiaozhao.
Gu Zhange's speed didn't seem to be fast, at this time, Gu Xiaozhao should take the opportunity to attack forward and shorten the distance between the two, however, Gu Xiaozhao chose to retreat.
Gu Zhange's trick is secretly famous.
On the surface, the speed was not fast, but the actual true qi was flowing rapidly, and once Gu Xiaozhao attacked forward, the speed of the coiling dragon stick would suddenly increase.
It is equivalent to Gu Xiaozhao sending himself forward to be beaten.
There is no way but to retreat.
Withdraw!
Back off!
Keep retreating!
Soon, Gu Xiaozhao retreated to the edge of the ring.
He couldn't find a flaw in his opponent!
The other party simply swept his waist, and it seemed that there were many flaws, but in fact, there was a hidden murderous intention, and those flaws were all traps.
If he wants not to step on the trap, he can only retreat.
However, there is no way back!
What to do?
