Chapter 287: The First Battle
After the draw was completed, Lu Xu said goodbye to Chai Jin and Tong Ziyu, came to the tenth ring, found a vacant place with few people, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and recuperated.
Not long after, on the high platform, Yan Zhongfang, the envoy of the Nine Heavens Sect, suddenly stopped chatting with the people beside him, took a few steps forward, and began to announce loudly:
"The hour has come, the preliminary round of the competition has officially begun, please go to the rings according to the lot, and start the competition in the order of the number plates. ”
As soon as the voice fell, the thousands of monks in the audience suddenly let out a "boom", and in less than ten breaths, they were divided into ten piles of people, and they gathered around each ring.
On the ring in each area, there is already a monk in charge of the foundation building period who is in charge of refereeing, announcing the matchup situation and some precautions.
Lu Xu was also standing in the crowd under the tenth ring at this moment, listening to what the referee on the stage said, while glancing around, and looking at the number of the jade medal in his hand.
There are more than 400 disciples in the 10th district, and he himself is 400, there are nearly 200 games before, and there is only half a day left, so he must not be playing today. At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh that the Antarctic Domain was worthy of being the origin of the Terran monks in the Ten Thousand Spirits World, just because the Nine Heavens Sect selected ten outer disciples in a country like Tianyun Country, there were thousands of monks participating in the competition, and all of them were in the late stage of the Qi refining period. When I first participated in the entrance assessment in the Zixia Sect, most of them were at the first and second levels of the Qi refining period, and there were almost no competitions.
It is conceivable that the disciples in the Zixiao Sect should be selected by thousands of people, and how many amazing geniuses should there be in the sect.
......
"In the next game, the twenty-first will fight the thirty-seventh!"
To his surprise, after just a cup of tea, more than a dozen matches had already been decided, which was far from his previous assumption that it would not be his turn to play today.
And a pair of people who are fighting on the stage, most of the realm cultivation is about the same, among them, naturally the middle and late stages of the Qi refining period are the most, but the real strength is even more varied, some monks who are too weak. Often, it is too late to sacrifice the magic weapon, but it is controlled by the other party in an instant, and the winner is decided.
And some cultivators in the middle of the Qi refining period encountered the existence of the late stage, and most of them directly admitted defeat without fighting.
As far as the eye can see, the situation in the rest of the ring is also very similar.
Of course, there are also some disciples with the same cultivation and similar strength, and it will take a while to decide the winner.
However, because it is not a battle of life and death, once someone is at a disadvantage, or thinks that they are not the opponent of the other party, they will also take the initiative to soften and jump out of the forbidden light curtain.
At this moment, Lu Xu suddenly felt a gaze coming from behind him, and he looked back as soon as his mind moved. But Chai Jin had just won a game easily, and was striding towards him from the No. 3 ring next to him.
"After the Cangwu Valley parted, Brother Lu's mana seemed to have improved a lot. Chai Jin said with a slight smile after standing still in front of Lu Xu.
"Brother Chai is not the same as me, his mana is more refined, and his strength must have increased a lot. The corners of Lu Xu's mouth curled up and said.
"How dare you compare with Brother Lu Xu, Brother Lu killed the Spirit King with great power that day, and he is ashamed of his strength. Thinking back to the battle in Cangwu Valley, Chai Jin couldn't help but sigh lightly and said so. He was originally an extremely conceited person, so he went to the Misty Valley to hone himself on the eve of the game, but he didn't expect to encounter such a pervert.
"It turns out that this fellow Daoist is the one who killed the Spirit King in Cangwu Valley?" Before Brother Lu could speak, no one on the side was surprised.
Suddenly, there were more than ten knives around, looking at the place where Brother Lu was, and whispering in twos and threes.
At the same time, Brother Lu's expression moved, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw that near the No. 9 ring, a young man in a green robe with an extremely fair complexion also looked at him with a smile, but what made Lu Xu speechless was that the other party was actually gnawing on his fingernails, and he looked like he was relishing.
However, this person's gaze was abnormally solemn, and it actually gave Lu Xu a faint sense of oppression, and he didn't think it was a general, but he asked himself if he had never seen this person, and this person was not in the list of powerful characters mentioned by Lu Kaiyun. He wouldn't think that he was invincible in the world if he was once a foundation building period cultivator, among the Qi refining period cultivators, especially the Qi refining period cultivators in the Antarctic Domain, there were still many masters, and Chai Jin beside him was not one.
The young man's gaze made Lu Xu muttered in his heart, but he immediately came back to his senses and continued to say to Chai Jin:
"Brother Chai has won the award, and it's just a fluke in the next place, if there is no Brother Chai to help, the next person will not be an opponent. ”
Chai Jin smiled bitterly when he heard this, then took a deep look at Lu Xu, and then said goodbye and left.
Time passed little by little, and the battles were carried out in such an orderly manner.
Within the various districts, cheers and sighs came one after another.
Those powerful people who are superior in strength and have been favored by all parties before, often as soon as Fang comes to power, they will cause the onlookers to exclaim from the monks.
Among them, the second district where Sui Yafu of the Lu family was located, there were bursts of exclamations and admiration at this moment, it turned out that Sui Yafu had defeated another disciple in the late stage of the Qi refining period with a single move.
Soon after, in the first area, a woman in a black dress appeared on the stage, which seemed to attract a burst of exclamations, and only a moment later, the woman in the black dress used a ghostly body to easily knock another young man unconscious.
Lu Xu didn't care about this, and still watched the fight in the ring with a calm face, while waiting quietly.
In this big competition, he has already made up his mind in his heart to win the first place, which not only has Long'er's entrustment, but also his own pride, if a former foundation building period monk can't sweep in the face of the Qi refining period monk, it will be too wasteful, not to mention finding Zhen Niang in the future and picking her up from the Yuan Infant stage monk.
Just when dusk came, it was finally Lu Xu's turn.
"The next game, three hundred and fifty-two, against four hundred. ”
After Lu Xu heard this sound in the No. 10 ring, he jumped lightly without saying a word, and landed lightly on the side of the ring.
The forbidden light curtain around it enveloped the entire ring.
Opposite, a young man in a green robe who looked like he was in his twenties and had a thin body. As soon as he saw Lu Xu on stage, he arched his hands and said:
"Hide the sky in Lower Qingxu City, and ask Taoist friends to teach one or two. ”
"Daliang City, Lu Xu. Lu Xu just said lightly, and swept it away with his soul power, and the other party was only a monk of the eighth layer of the Qi Refining Period.
"Great Perfection Cultivator of the Qi Refining Period!" Bao Zangtian looked at Lu Xu's cultivation, and suddenly froze, and his face was immediately full of vigilance.
Lu Xu still stood in place with the same expression.
At this time, the air referee said "start" and flew outside the light curtain.
The young man in the green robe shook his sleeves solemnly, and a short knife with yellow light flew out, and after circling in the void, it turned into a big man.
Lu Xu looked at the short knife in the young man's hand lightly, it seemed to be a superb magic weapon, but he still stood with his hands behind his back, without the slightest intention of making a move.
"Although Brother Lu is a Great Perfection cultivator in the Qi Refining Period, such a move is inevitably too underestimated. Lu Xu's inaction made the young man in the green robe seem a little annoyed, and he couldn't help frowning and said in a deep voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, he slammed several magic swords into the air with both hands, and then a little in the void.
A whistling sound came, and the short knife turned into a thick bowl and shot towards Lu Xu.
Lu Xu's eyes were cold, his body shook slightly, and the rolling green flames on his body surged. After raising his hand, the green flame condensed, turning into a cyan fire palm and roaring towards the yellow pilian.
The sound of "whoosh" came from the breaking air, and the cyan fire palm and the match couldn't hold each other for a while.
Seeing this, Lu Xu seemed a little surprised. With a sharp look in his eyes, he turned into a phantom and disappeared from the spot.
At the same time, with a "boom", Pi Lian and the cyan fire palm burst out in the void, and a little spark burst out in the midst of the surging air......
At this moment, a ghostly figure appeared behind the blue-robed man, and raised his hand to shoot a huge hot handprint on his back, but it was silent and without the slightest warning.
The blue-robed man didn't have time to react at all, and the moment the talisman light was slapped by the cyan handprint, it was broken by a blow, and with a miserable scream, he flew directly out of more than a dozen zhang and fell outside the ring.
The short knife in the void also fell to the ring with a "bang" because it lost its relationship with its master.
From the young man in the green robe releasing the short knife to being hit by Lu Xu and flying out of the ring, it was just a matter of two or three breaths.
"Daliang City Lu Xu won. Seeing this, the referee in the foundation building period above the ring immediately announced loudly, but there was still a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"Concession. ”
After Lu Xu said lightly, he jumped out of the ring lightly.
In the audience, another man who seemed to be from the same family as the young man in the green robe had quickly stepped forward to help him up.
A moment later, the young man in the green robe disappeared from the crowd without saying a word, supported by the man.
After another hour, the first day of the preliminary competition came to an end.
Lu Xu did not stay, and returned to the Lu family with Lu Youfeng.
......
Early the next morning, thousands of people gathered in the square again.
However, the number of monks who actually participated in the competition was one-third less than the previous day.
After the first round of the first day, nearly half of the people have been eliminated, and a large number of those who arrived today have been eliminated yesterday and are just here to watch the game.
After all, if you can see some high-level battles, it will also be of great help to your future cultivation and combat experience.
On the jade platform, there were dozens of representatives of the Nine Heavens Sect's envoy Yan Zhongfang and many other families, but there were a few fewer people than on the first day.
Lu Xu came to the tenth ring early, found a secluded place, and continued to watch quietly.
He swept it with his soul power, and found that after the first day of fighting, most of the remaining disciples were now cultivating in the late stage of the Qi Refining Period, and only a few of them were in the middle of the Qi Refining Period.
In the competition that started not long after, the competition between the disciples in the late stage of the Qi refining period was also significantly more exciting than the first day, and the time spent on the competition was also much longer.
After most of the day, it was finally Lu Xu's turn to play again.
"The next game, three hundred and seventy-one, against four hundred. The referee announced with a blank face.
As soon as Lu Xu heard this, he immediately walked out of the crowd with a faint smile and jumped into the ring.
On the other side of the ring, a majestic figure jumped up, stepped on his right foot, and suddenly exploded, and within ten zhang of the surrounding area, the rubble flew, and all the bluestone bricks cracked.
"Boy, it's bad luck for you to run into me, hehe, look at your little arms and legs, if you can make me take a step back, even if I lose!"
The audience was silent for a while, and the needle drop could be heard, and the eyes of all those who heard the other party's arrogant words looked at the feet of the hero.
It was cut from the hardest bluestone, and it would take a lot of effort to break it, even if it was a giant elephant.
Lu Xu's eyes flickered, and then he said with relief: "It turns out that he has cultivated to the first layer of the Vajra Hegemony Body, no wonder he dares to be so crazy with his cultivation in the middle of the Qi refining period." ”
Vajra is an extremely difficult horizontal body cultivation method to cultivate, because it is imitated from Buddhism, Vajra is not bad, and the flexibility of the body and limbs is not affected by the horizontal body cultivation method, which can be described as extremely powerful.
At this age, Xiongba has the cultivation in the middle of the Qi cultivation period, and he has cultivated this body to cultivate the hegemony body, and he does have the ability to be proud. You must know that the Buddhist body cultivation method is the most difficult to practice, and the process is extremely painful, and it is difficult to persist without the perseverance of Buddhism.
It can even be said that this person is not much inferior to the Great Perfection cultivator of the Qi Refining Period.
"But when he met me, he was unlucky, the Yuan Magnetic Hegemony Body was much stronger than his Vajra Hegemony Body, even the body of the Dragon Elephant Shifting Gong in the past was stronger than the first layer of the Vajra Hegemony Body. ”
