Chapter 156: Ascension Conference
The look of the pawn remained unchanged. He said: "It is estimated that there are one million people, who doesn't want to be promoted to the magistrate of the prefecture? Even if one million people go through ten rounds of elimination, there are still as many as thousands." ”
"A million?" the sea dragon couldn't help but look at the Yin pawn in amazement. The Yin pawn said with a smile: "We have at least one million soul envoys in the underworld, don't forget, the underworld is famous for its large number of people, and there are countless imps in the underworld." This is already the most conservative estimate of mine, tomorrow we just need to compare in our divisions, don't think about it, hurry up and rest for a while. Accumulate physical strength to participate in the promotion competition tomorrow, and after participating in the competition, we will be on duty on the bridge to the death. ”
Early the next morning, Hailong and Siyin came to the place where they were attending the ascension meeting. Due to the large number of soul envoys participating in the selection, the first elimination round was held in their respective divisions. The soul envoy residence is sub-regional, each area has about a thousand soul messengers, each region has about a thousand soul messengers, each region has about a thousand soul messengers, the first nine Lun knockout matches are held in their respective regions, and the last two people who stand out go to the only city in the underworld to conduct the final round of elimination. Naturally, the sea dragon and the Siyin ghost pawn also have to compete in their own divisions. After a year of getting along, a true brotherhood has developed between the sea dragon and the ghost pawn. He secretly hoped that he would not be separated from Siyin, so that it would be possible to enter the final stage at the same time.
When they came to the scene where the divisional knockout was held. As the Ghost Pawn said, almost all of the Ghee's Soul Envoys have come to participate in this competition, after all. This is the only way for the Soul Envoy to be promoted to Judge. Today there will be a two-round knockout, that is. They have to play twice. The two drew lots smoothly, just as Hailong had expected. They were divided into different playing areas.
There are fifty judges in charge of the knockout rounds in their divisions. In each game, there are hundreds of soul envoys competing at the same time, and for a while, the ghost aura is pervasive, which is related to whether or not he can be promoted to judge. Each of the soul seducers has shown their own housekeeping skills. Due to the late arrival. The sea dragon and the yin pawn were divided into the back competition. The speed of the game is very fast, and the seducers can tell the winner in almost a few glances. Those who lose immediately go back to their posts. And those who win stay to participate in the second lun.
The ghost pawn smiled and said, "Sea Dragon, you have to be careful. It's time for us to play, and if you're eliminated in the first round, I'm not going to spare you. ”
The sea dragon punched him. smiled: "Just be careful yourself, am I so easy to lose?"
Their first round has finally begun. Through previous observations, the sea dragon found that the strength of these soul seducers was not as good as his own. Most of the time of the game. The Soul Emissaries all abandoned the strandless steel fork in favor of using the Soul Palm against their enemies, after all, it was the only dungeon spell they could learn. Sea dragons and ghost pawns are no exception. Both chose Horror Palm.
It was just an ordinary divisional competition, there was no ring at all, and the competition was held in the open field. The Soul Hook Emissaries looked similar from the outside when they put on heavy armor, but after the judge gave the order from the supervising judge, the opponent of the sea dragon immediately pounced. There was some frustration at his feet, and his palms flashed with a miserable green light and slapped on the top of the sea dragon's head and chest.
Although the chaotic qi has been sealed, how rich the actual combat experience of the sea dragon land is, without the support of mana, the somersault cloud will naturally not be used, but the most basic footwork of the getaway can still be used. The left foot took a mysterious step to the left, the body was on one side, the knees were bent, and he immediately dodged the opponent's attack, and the sea dragon exhaled. The two palms condensed the ghost qi and slapped the right rib of the soul envoy.
The power of the Soul Palm is limited without the support of a strong **, and the Soul Hook Messenger is wearing heavy heavy armor, so although the sea dragon hits the other party, it only hits him and stumbles. The soul envoy roared angrily, turned sharply, and swept towards the sea dragon with one leg. The sea dragon sighed in his heart. If I had been slapped before, I am afraid that I would have already turned into ashes.
Although he was lamenting the sadness of being sealed with mana in his mind, he was not slow at all, since the mana was not enough, he had to rely on skills, seeing that the other party rushed in front of him, the sea dragon stood up straight, his left foot retreated half a step to the right, and at the same time, his left palm split the opponent's heavy leg and blocked the opponent's attack, but the sea dragon's left palm was also shocked to a faint pain. The soul envoy almost subconsciously slashed his palm, wanting to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and the sea dragon laughed secretly in his heart. You were fooled, your right hand stretched forward flexibly, twisted slightly in the air, and suddenly took out the opponent's wrist, and at the same time, the heavy body of the sea dragon wearing heavy armor suddenly fell backwards. The soul envoy was already rushing forward, and as soon as the sea dragon pulled, he suddenly fell with him, and it seemed that he was about to press on the sea dragon, and at this moment, the sea dragon's legs were already bent and waiting to kick the other party out.
Bang. The soul envoy fell three meters away, and due to the burden of heavy armor, this fall was really not light. He struggled for a long time and didn't get up.
After kicking the opponent away, the sea dragon had already stood up, the trick he had just used. It's still what I used to fight when I was a child, called Rabbit Kick Eagle, and I fell out of the other party with leg strength and inertia, but I didn't expect that more than a thousand years later, it would reappear in the underworld, and these soul messengers are indeed a bit muna. The judge gave Hailong a surprised look and declared him the winner of the first round.
It's just that he won the victory after a few fights, and he didn't consume too much mana of the sea dragon, he moved his body, and waited for the Siyin ghost pawn to the side, as soon as he stood still, the Siyin ghost pawn came back proudly. Needless to ask, Hailong also knows that his good brother has successfully passed the first round. The ghost pawn patted Hailong on the shoulder vigorously, and sighed lightly: "Hey, brother, it doesn't matter if you lose, you can cheer for my eldest brother in the future." However, I really didn't expect you to lose so quickly, and I know you're sad, so I won't talk about you. ”
The sea dragon slapped away the hand of the ghost pawn with one palm, and said angrily: "you." You just lost, my opponent is very stupid, and I cleaned it up in two clicks. ”
The ghost of the yin is a pawn. Said: "You cleaned it up? so quickly? No, right?" It's a bit of an effort. Not bad. It seems that you still have a future when you are young. ”
The sea dragon smiled, "It's a bit of a thing to fight against me against that soul envoy. Where are you cunning, but he will be fooled if he deliberately reveals a small flaw. ”
The ghost pawn was obviously in a very good mood, "What do you mean by being cunning? I'm wise, do you still want to play tricks in front of me with your little tricks?" We have a second round. ”
The second round of the competition began quickly. The opponent of the sea dragon is still using the earth frightening palm, although the mana is not weaker than the current earth sea dragon, but it is still very clumsy, and it is simply a few times before the sea dragon borrows its strength and falls down.
The Devil Pawn also came out victorious, with both men passing the first day of elimination. The two didn't have time to exchange experiences, so they hurriedly ran to Shengqiao to be on duty.
Stand in the back. It was not his turn for a while, Hailong glanced at Cui Yu who was still looking at the thin ground carefully, and said in his heart. This judge has really worked hard, since he came. I haven't seen him rest yet. It's still early, let's cultivate the chaotic qi for a while. Although there was only a trace of chaotic qi in his body, he suddenly moved quickly under the urging of the sea dragon's already much stronger mental power. The sea dragon suddenly realized that it was so wonderful when the mind was strong. Although the mana is not enough to make him look inside, but with his super mental power, he can control the activity of almost every muscle in his body, gradually, he is addicted to this control, unconsciously, the mind is divided into several strands, one is urging the chaotic qi to run, and the other mind is paying attention to the movement outside the person and thinking about the trick of the shocking palm. This feeling of multitasking refreshed his body and mind, and what excited him most was that even when his mind was separated in this way, he still did not feel the slightest tiredness.
The trace of chaotic qi that remains in the sea dragon's body is based on his own physique and his previous familiarity with the chaotic qi to absorb the ghost qi of the underworld, the characteristic of the chaotic qi is that he can absorb any aura for his own use, although the fire attribute chaotic qi of the sea dragon is limited, but the ghost qi is also a kind of heaven and earth aura. The other mana was sealed, and some of his chaotic qi formed by ghost qi was very pure, but the power was still too far away. Time passed minute by minute, and after the diversion of thoughts, the spirit was consumed much faster than before, and when the three soul seducers left to rest in front of him, the sea dragon already felt tired. He was not surprised when he came out of exhaustion, he knew very well that mental power could only be improved in the process of continuous consumption and replenishment.
"Quick, catch that ghost. Cui Yu, who had been calm, suddenly shouted loudly. A white soul was flying away, fleeing into the distance. The sea dragon shouted almost without thinking, "Give me back." "The soul was frozen in the air. As if there was some attraction in the sea dragon, it flew back under his burning gaze.
Cui Yu glanced at the sea dragon in surprise, stretched out his hand to lock the throat of the soul, and said in a deep voice: "If you dare to escape Meng Po Tang on the Huangquan Road, I will punish you to go to the first hell to suffer and press him." The two soul seducers suddenly pounced on them like wolves, Cui Yu's hand emitted a miserable white light, and the soul suddenly screamed and was paralyzed to the ground, allowing the two soul seduction messengers to take it away.
Cui Yu looked at the sea dragon and said indifferently, "What kind of spell did you use to summon that soul back just now?" As the most powerful judge in the underworld, it was the first time he had seen such a scene just now
Hailong shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just shouted, and he came back by himself." He really didn't know that shouting was just a subconscious act of the slightest mental power before.
Cui Yu snorted coldly: "Since he dares to escape from Meng Po Tang, how can he be willing to come back by himself, you" Speaking of this, his face suddenly changed. As if thinking of something, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you continue to carry out your mission." With that, he began to turn over his thin again, and the spirits walked in front of him one by one, as if nothing had happened just now.
The sea dragon breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, his heart moved, yes! Just as Cui Yu said, since the soul was going to escape, how could it be that he was willing to come back by himself? Could it be that he really used some kind of spell unintentionally. He kept thinking about the scene at that time, he shouted, all the mental power was instantly concentrated, although he was already very tired, this mental power was still very strong, and then it was as if an invisible cold current escaped from his body, and then the soul returned, could it be that he used his mental power to pull the soul back? This is also a bit too incredible. But this is undoubtedly a very good phenomenon, Shadow seems to have a similar ability to control objects, but it is still different from using her own mental power to control it, she is born, and she is because of the effect of strong mental power. Thinking of this, Hailong's heart became active, he glanced at the Siyin ghost pawn beside him, concentrated, and looked at his right hand, sure enough, the cold current appeared again, in the case of mental concentration, the cold current slowly escaped from the body, and under the control of his own spirit, he gently pulled the hand of the Siyin ghost pawn, and the hand of the Siyin ghost pawn moved slightly, and Hailong only felt a burst of fatigue in his brain, and suddenly lost control. He instantly realized that this method of controlling with mental power consumed several times more than the dispersion of mental power.
As if he wasn't aware of it, he still stood there. The sea dragon endured the ecstasy in his heart, and said secretly, if it weren't for his mana being sealed, I'm afraid he would never be able to find out that his mental power could still be used like this. The power of the mind is simply too good for the use of mana. You must know that when you use spell attacks, you tend to lose a lot of power, and if you can use your mind power to bind all the mana you attack, your strength will increase a lot. Like a dose of fresh blood, the sea dragon was full of excitement, and he couldn't even care about exhaustion, and he wanted to devote himself to the practice of mental power now.
The long task was finally over, and the sea dragon's tired Tongsi Yin ghost pawn came to the Yin Yang Tower, and after the baptism of the pale red blood, his mental state was restored to the best.
The ghost pawn said suspiciously: Hailong, what is going on with you today, why did you shout, and the soul came back?
Hailong knew that even if he wanted to explain the matter of mental power, he might not be able to understand, and knew that if he worked hard, he would leave here sooner or later, so it was better not to tell him too much. Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly: "How do I know." Maybe my voice was too loud to scare the soul. ”
"Phew. You liared the ghost! The soul may not be bold, but it is unlikely to be intimidated. The Siyin ghost pawn punched the sea dragon, "Forget it, I don't need to ask you, let's go back quickly, let's learn again, it's time to go to the promotion conference again." ”
Hailong looked at the ghost pawn of Siyin, and laughed in his heart, isn't it just to lie to you? Seeing that he didn't ask any more, he was also happy, and the two happily returned to their haunted house.
In the promotion meeting, Hailong and Siyin Ghost Pawn went very smoothly, and it took almost no effort to stand out in the first eight rounds and become the top four in their division. In anticipation of the sea dragon, he was greatly satisfied with the final grouping format, and he and the Ghost Pawn faced off against the other two Soul Emissaries respectively, which meant that as long as they could win, they could both go to the final round of the preliminary round of elimination.
Looking at the soul envoy in front of him, the sea dragon didn't have any worries, although the opponents he encountered before were a little stronger than the other, but they were nothing more than the frightened palms were more proficient, and the ghost qi could absorb more. With his intelligence alone, he can easily win, so he doesn't have today's opponent in mind.
The referee gave the order, and the last two games began at the same time. The Siyin ghost pawn shouted loudly, and ordered a soul envoy to pounce on the other party at the same time, and attacked hard. And the sea dragon is very weird, the sea dragon did not move in the same year, staring at each other through the helmet of heavy armor, from the beginning of the game to the present, the sea dragon has been waiting for the other party's attack, after finding a flaw, he took the initiative, but today the opponent did not take the initiative to attack, he couldn't help but be awe-inspired, and at the same time cautious.
The soul seduction messenger opposite the sea dragon fell lightly: "Xiao, I've been paying attention to you for a long time, you better admit defeat." Although you are very smart, wisdom cannot make up for the difference in strength that is too much. This time, the Sentencing Conference. I'm going to be a judge. "In the past, the game started as soon as it came up, and this is the first time that a soul envoy has taken the initiative to speak to the sea dragon.
Hailong frowned slightly, looked at the other party, and said, "Are you saying that these are trying to shake my mind? Then you are wrong, although I haven't seen your previous competition." But I have full confidence in myself. ”
The soul envoy sneered and said, "Remember my name." My name is ugly, and I'm a ghost. His whole body suddenly rushed forward, the speed was several times that of the other soul envoys, his right arm was not limited by the heavy armor, suddenly stretched out, and grabbed the top of the sea dragon's head with one claw, the claw was still there, and the sea dragon already felt his scalp explode.
Powerful ghosts, the sea dragon once heard the ghosts of the Yin Dynasty talk about it, when the ghosts first entered the hell, they were different from ordinary ghosts, they were generally full of jealousy and strong resentment when they died, and the resentment could not be dissipated, and they would become powerful ghosts when they were brought to the underworld. Powerful ghosts cannot be reincarnated, they are ferocious by nature, no one in the underworld wants to associate with the ghosts, these ghosts are destined to stay in the underworld because they cannot be reincarnated, with a fierce aura beyond the ordinary underworld, they are often much more powerful than other ghosts. The number of ghosts is very small, and most of the ghosts who did evil in their previous lives will be punished to suffer forever in the eighteenth layer of hell, only the ghosts who have really died unjustly can serve in the underworld, Hailong didn't expect his luck to be so "good", and he met one at once.
The sea dragon's telekinesis was extremely powerful, and when he remembered the origin of the ghost, he also reacted at the same time, his body slid backwards like a zombie, and at the same time, his right foot absorbed the ghost's qi and kicked towards the opponent's claws. With a soft sound, the sea dragon flipped backwards and staggered a few steps to stand firm, the ghost qi of the other party was much stronger than him, and the blood and qi in his body surged, and he was surprised to see that his solid heavy armor had five depressions at the beginning of his feet, and he was faintly about to be penetrated, what a strong ghost qi!
The claws of the fierce ghost and ugly were raised from both sides of the body at the same time, and he let out a terrible roar, and his body rushed towards the sea dragon like lightning, and his palms turned into ghost shadows, and grabbed the sea dragon head.
The sea dragon didn't dare to make a hard connection, and the most basic footwork of the getaway swam in the field, constantly dodging the opponent's attack, but the speed of the ghost was above him, although with the magic of the getaway footwork, he was not defeated for a while, but he was completely forced to the upper hand, and could only use some weird moves of the frightened palm to occasionally sneak attack, but the speed of the ghost was too fast, and the sufficiency of the ghost was not at all what he could deal with, and he couldn't hand the tool to the other party at all. In the face of speed and power, as Ugly said, wisdom has lost most of its utility. The sea dragon clearly felt that his physical strength was constantly declining, and he secretly thought to himself, do you really want to use that trace of chaotic qi? Even if you use it, the chaotic qi is so weak, can you fight against him? Suddenly, the sea dragon's heart moved, and he remembered the mental power that he had cultivated hard in the past few days. Maybe. This newfound power may have some effect.
Thinking of this, the sea dragon's heart suddenly became active, and his body moved sideways, flashing the ugly claw, his mind was completely concentrated, he knew that his mental power was not enough to control the opponent's whole body, so he only chose that claw, and sure enough, under the effect of the mental power, the claw of the ugly attack was completely fixed in the air, this sudden change surprised him, and the overall action suddenly slowed down a lot. This is what the sea dragon wanted, and he completely concentrated his mental power on his right fist, harmonizing all the ghost qi he could absorb, and hit the ugly head hard. If his ghost aura alone was by no means enough to break such a heavy helmet, but the mental power played an unexpected role, not only bursting out with powerful attack power, knocking the ugly body into the air, but also the sea dragon clearly felt that his own thoughts actually pierced into the ugly mind. I clearly felt the strong resentment in his mind.
Ugly fell to the ground with a muffled grunt, but the ghost's body was really strong, and he twisted his head around his somewhat crooked neck. Struggling to get up, Hailong thought to himself that it would be good if he couldn't get up. As if he had received an order, his whole body was shocked, and he lay on the bottom again and stopped moving. The sea dragon only felt that there were constant bursts of weakness in his mind, and his body shook for a while, barely standing firmly, but his mind was already a little blurry.
Even the judge in the stands did not react to the announcement of his victory in the lake, knowing that the Yin ghost pawn on the other side dragged him to the Yin-Yang Tower. before he regained his senses.
His physical strength and spirit recovered at the same time, and the sea dragon kept gasping, looking at the Siyin ghost pawn beside him and asked, "Big brother, what's wrong with me? Did I win just now?"
The ghost pawn nodded and said, "You won." We can all go to the capital city to compete, this is the greatest glory of our soul envoys! I really don't understand how you won the land. I've always wondered where that ugly guy had gone, and I didn't feel his breath. You don't know, Ugly has always been the boss of the soul seducers in our district. It's just that I don't know where I ran a few days ago. Originally, I was glad that he didn't participate in this promotion competition, but I didn't expect him to come and become your opponent. That guy is the strongest on our side, you can actually win him, I really didn't expect it, that guy didn't wake up when I pulled you out, you have to be careful in the future, that ugly bastard has a lot of power on our side. He would never be willing to lose. ”
Hailong smiled bitterly: "I don't know how I won, anyway, we have already succeeded, haven't we?" Brother Siyin, thank you for bringing me here." ”
"Damn, thank you for your size, I'm your eldest brother, shouldn't I take care of you?"
At this time, the sea dragon has been thinking in his heart, what happened before, it seems that his own mental power destroyed the other party's whole life, making him fall into a coma, can the mental power still be used like this? It seems that he himself is a huge treasure house, if this treasure house can be fully opened, it will be very easy to break through the seal. Thinking of this, Hailong's heart felt relieved. "Brother Siyin, it's time for us to take up our posts. If you're late, I'm afraid Judge Cui Yu will be angry. ”
The ghost pawn smiled and said, "No need to go to work, we have the right to go to the capital city, all the tasks are replaced by other brothers, we only need to rest for a few days, and we can go to the capital city." Hey, I'm excited at the thought of going to the capital city, you know, our ten greatest kings are all there! If we come out on top in the Ascension Judgment Conference and get the guidance of any king, we will be able to become the most important figures in the underworld in the future. "Speaker, he has begun to dance with excitement,
Hailong shook his head helplessly, and said: "Just in our place, that powerful ghost and ugly are so difficult to deal with, I'm afraid the soul envoys who participated in the Xudu City are not weak, how easy is it to get into the final top five, let's do our best, when will the next competition start? How far is it from here to Xudu City?"
The ghost pawn said: "You're right, but I believe that with our strength, we still have the strength to fight." It's still very early for the start of the competition, and it only takes five days to get from us to the city. After we go back, we have to practice well for a while, so that we can have a better grasp. ”
Hailong smiled: "Then what are you waiting for, let's go back quickly, time waits for no one." ”
A month later, the capital city.
The most important place in the underworld, where all the ten kings in charge of the affairs of the earth lived. On the outside, in addition to being eerie, it looks like a big human city. There are constantly all kinds of ghost pawns and ghost soldiers shuttling back and forth. The city is also the only place where there are dwellers of the underworld, and some souls that cannot be reincarnated gather here to live.
The sea dragon and the Siyin ghost pawn walked into the capital city curiously, and the Siyin ghost pawn obviously did not come here for the first time, and kept introducing everything around the sea dragon.
You see, the sea dragons are the headless ghosts, although they have no heads, they still have a certain amount of intelligence, and like the long-tongued ghosts, they are the most common inhabitants of the drunken capital. The ghost pawn pointed to a soul that had no head and shook its body forward.
Hailong was accustomed to all kinds of surprises in the underworld, and said with a smile: "It seems that the biggest advantage in the underworld is that you can't die, and you can survive even if you don't have your head." Brother Siyin, we're late, let's hurry up to the place where the promotion conference will be held, otherwise we will miss the game, and we won't have a chance to become judges. "Since the end of the competition that day, the sea dragon and the Yin ghost pawns have entered the retreat cultivation, for example, when they woke up, it was only four days before the ascension meeting, and they had been desperately hurrying for two days, and they arrived at the capital at the last moment, fortunately, there were four yin and yang towers in the city, so that they were not in danger of exhaustion.
The ghost pawn nodded and said, "Yes, let's go quickly." Today is the last knockout match, so I hope the opponent is not too strong. ”
Hailong smiled: "Aren't you very confident in yourself, how can you still be afraid of your opponent's strength?"
The ghost pawn said angrily: "I'm not afraid, isn't it good to save some effort? You don't know what you're doing this month, you don't even go out, don't lose later, it's good to lose talent." ”
Hailong said: "As long as you don't be ashamed, my goal is to advance to the top five." ”
Under the leadership of the Siyin ghost pawn, the two soon came to the west side of the capital city, where there was a huge school military field, and the promotion meeting was held at the same time. There were already 3,000 soul seducer envoys gathered here, and the judge who was guarding the body was just about to seal the door when he saw the sea dragon and the yin storm rushing over. One of the judges frowned, "Why is it so late?" ”
The Siyin ghost pawn handed over the participation card in the area where he and the sea dragon were located, and said with a smile: "We didn't mean to be late, but some things were delayed, and I hope the judge will be accommodating." ”
The judge was very talkative, and after confirming their entry cards, he handed them back, and said, "Hurry in." A little later, it will be too late to group. ”
Hailong and Siyin thanked the judge and quickly rushed into the school military field. This is actually a large open space, surrounded by high black walls, where three thousand soul envoys are neatly arranged, and on a high platform in front of them, a ghost shrouded in black clothes and a long pointed hat with a pale face is announcing the grouping. The ghost pawn told Hailong that the one on the stage was impermanence one level higher than the judge. Almost all impermanence are the younger brothers of the ten kings of the underworld and the two ghost kings, and their cultivation is far above the judges. They all have a high status in the underworld.
