Chapter 23: The Gambling Fight (1)
As the draw began, everyone's hearts were on their throats. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Because not only the disciples in the audience, but also the more than a dozen Daoist uncles, and those great elders of the Inner Sect wearing purple shirts also understood that this competition was very different from the past, and it was not only a competition for strength, but also a competition for two forces.
Master Bo Daojian has a huge influence in the sect, and his influence is even no less than that of the immeasurable sect master, Dao Chong.
Many of the elders of the Inner Sect and the powerhouses of the Dao Character Generations present were all frequent visitors to Dao Jian, and they naturally supported Long Lie and Murong Yan.
And Dao Xu, Dao Hong and Dao Xuan are determined to support Li Xuan this time.
These strong men sitting on the high platform seem to be very calm, but in fact, their hearts have long been turbulent.
This time, who will win the first place will have a big impact.
It is a crucial result for both the Daojian faction and the anti-Daojian faction.
If Long Lie or Murong Yan won and slapped Li Xuan in the face in public, the anti-Dao Jian faction that had just gathered would soon collapse.
On the contrary, if Li Xuan wins, the anti-Dao Jian faction will not only be shocked, but will also attract more intermediate forces to join in, and over time, it will definitely shake the strong position of the Dao Jian faction in the sect.
However, in terms of the current situation, the situation is very unfavorable for Li Xuan.
Therefore, as an active advocate of anti-Daojian, the pressure on Uncle Xiao Daoxu was very great, very great, so he was so nervous that he grabbed the handle of the chair tightly, and he didn't dare to take a breath.
"Smack!"
A big vigorous hand suddenly slapped on Daoxu's shoulder.
Dao Xuan was very surprised and suddenly turned around, and saw a smiling face.
"Senior Brother Daoxu, I know that you have always been very supportive of that kid surnamed Li, although his current situation is very bad, but you shouldn't be too nervous!"
The speaker was a monk named Dao Chu, who was also an active supporter of the Dao Jian faction.
After listening to Dao Chu's words, Uncle Dao was very unhappy, and he responded very unceremoniously: "You old miscellaneous hair, don't think that Long Lie's kid has broken through the realm, you have to be scared, be careful when Li Xuan makes a move, scare you stupidly!"
"Hmph, isn't that kid just relying on a martial art that he learned out of nowhere, he won a few times by luck, and he was held up to the sky by you, the higher you hold it, the worse you fall! If you really have confidence in this kid, how about it, dare you bet with me!"
Dao Chu said disdainfully.
"Gamble, gamble, am I afraid of you?"
Dao Xu's eyes widened, full of firepower.
"Okay, let's compete and see if Li Xuan's kid can enter the top ten, how about it!"
Dao Chu said with a solemn face.
Uncle Xiao was slightly stunned when he heard this.
Because Li Xuan's first group is a total of more than 500 people, if he meets a monk in the mortal realm five times when the lot is drawn, Dao Xuan still believes that Li Xuan definitely has the strength to fight, but if he meets Long Lie, Murong Yan or Tian Bi'er's little girl at the beginning, then Li Xuan may be directly eliminated and miss the top ten, which is also what Uncle Xiao is most worried about.
But since he chose Li Xuan, he will not back down: "Bet on it, you say it, what to bet on!"
"I know that junior brother you like to collect all kinds of exercises very much, and I also know that what you are best at is your 'Angry Thunder Slash' air knife, cough cough, I'm not afraid to tell you, I've had thoughts about your air knife for a long time, this time let's bet on the knife spectrum of your air knife, how about it!"
Dao Chu did not shy away from saying his purpose.
"You old boy, you were worried about my 'rage and thunder', okay, I'll bet with you, but you have to get something that can make me happy!"
Uncle Xiao gritted his teeth and responded. ...,
He was an exercise collector, and if he was asked to take out an exercise at the bottom of his box, it would kill him.
But this time, for the sake of Li Xuan, he decided to fight!
"Haha, I went down the mountain some time ago and found a terrible thing, I originally wanted to keep it for when I broke the realm, but now I will take it out and gamble with you to ensure that you are tempted!"
Dao Chu said that, and took a fist-sized piece of iron.
"What, this is Taiyi Refined Iron!"
Uncle Xiao looked at the fist-sized, glittering piece of iron and grew his mouth.
The monks of the Dao character generation who were watching the two of them on the side also showed their surprise, but they didn't expect that what Dao Chu took out was actually a piece of Taiyi fine iron condensed by the aura of gold.
This kind of thing, for a powerhouse like them in the human realm, is simply a divine thing that helps break through the realm.
Above the mortal realm is the Taoist realm.
This heavy realm is divided into five small levels, which are to absorb the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.
After that, these five kinds of spiritual energy are fused with the spiritual element in the body, and finally condensed into the spiritual yang, and when it comes out of the body, it can break through to the next realm.
And Taiyi Refined Iron is a supreme treasure rich in golden aura.
This time, Uncle Xiao was not calm: "Okay, I'll bet with you!"
After speaking, he took out a roll of animal skins and put it together with the Taiyi Essence Iron, which was the cultivation method of the Angry Thunder Slash.
"Li Xuan, I rely on you all!"
Uncle Xiao looked at Li Xuan with blank eyes, and kept praying in his heart.
Dao Chu saw Dao Xuan take out the knife spectrum, and sat back in his seat with a smile on his face, in his opinion, this scroll of knife spectrum must already be his own.
He never thought that Li Xuan would be so lucky to enter the top ten.
The rest of the Daozi monks chose their favored disciples and began to bet one after another.
A competition between disciples has actually become a game in the eyes of this group of strong people.
On the square, the draw has begun.
Several large vats appeared in front of Li Xuan, and the vats were filled with jade plaques with numbers written on them.
On the jade plaque drawn, two disciples with the same number will compete.
The first group has a total of 543 disciples, and the number on the jade plate is from one to two hundred and seventy-one, since the number is an odd number, then there will be an extra jade plate, and the number on it is 'zero'.
The disciple who draws the number zero means that there is no opponent, and he can have a bye once and directly enter the next round of competition.
At this time, many of the disciples standing in front of the vat were silently praying that it was best for them to draw the number zero and advance directly.
But don't immediately collide with three disciples of the Mortal Realm Sixfold, that would basically be a direct elimination.
Of course, at this time, everyone is most concerned about Li Xuan.
Many people were expecting him to have a vicious fight with one of the three disciples as soon as he came up, after all, many people had not really seen his true strength.
However, I was very lucky, I was really lucky, Li Xuan drew it at random, and he drew it to zero.
When he held up the jade plaque with the number zero written on it, the faces of many onlookers showed disappointment, it seemed that they would have to wait a little longer for the battle they wanted to watch.
In the disappointed eyes of everyone, Li Xuan waved his sleeves and walked to the promotion seat safely.
When he saw that what Li Xuan drew was actually zero, Long Lie became indignant: "Damn, this kid is shit luck at all, and he actually advanced directly!"
He didn't even look at it anymore, and directly threw the jade card he drew to the ground, stirring up a pile of angry dust.
The number on the jade plate, two hundred and fifty!
The disciple who also drew two hundred and fifty with Long Lie was also a disciple of Dao Jian's faction, and when he saw that his opponent was actually Long Lie, that disciple could only scratch his head helplessly, and before Long Lie could come to power, he had already announced that he would admit defeat, and in this way, he would be eliminated directly. ...,
This can only be blamed for one's bad luck.
It's extremely common to throw in the towel at a ranking tournament.
Rather than fighting hard to be seriously injured, it is better to take the initiative to admit defeat, and to challenge some people with the same strength as themselves to regain a good ranking.
In this way, Long Lie was also directly promoted like Li Xuan.
Even Murong Yan and Tian Bi'er were similar, and they drew disciples who were too much inferior to them, and the other party admitted defeat and they were directly promoted.
At this time, although Tian Bi'er, who had never appeared in the sect before, also felt it at this time, and almost everyone's eyes were very eagerly fixed on Li Xuan.
She blinked, taking a keen interest in the seemingly thin teenager.
In those big eyes, the provocation was already very obvious, and it seemed that he was also looking forward to fighting Li Xuan.
Li Xuan couldn't help but secretly complain, it seems that there are really a lot of people who are eyeing him!
In the second round, the same approach.
This time, Li Xuan was not so lucky, and drew a number 'two'.
When he raised the sign in his hand with a blank face, he soon saw the disciples in the crowd holding the same sign as himself.
At this point, a mischievous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Because he found that the disciple who was also holding the number 'two' jade plaque with him was Ma Tong, who had been flattened by him a month ago.
Ma Tong was very aggrieved and angry, looking at Li Xuan's smile, he was even more helpless.
