Outside the platform, the cultivators were full.

"Why are there more cultivators watching today than in the first round?" Lin Du couldn't help but ask, looking at the crowd.

"In the first round of the competition, what is there to see, all cultivators are aware of their own strength, unless their strength is very close, they generally will not fight hard. Gu Zhenhao explained with a smile, "In the second round of the competition, the top sixteen in the previous session will participate in the competition, and the strength of the two hundred and forty cultivators who have been promoted will obviously improve a lot, and the competition will really start at this time." ”

"It turns out that there are so many doorways to see the excitement. Lin Du said with a smile.

"Today is the first time for the top 16 to participate in the competition, who doesn't want to see their demeanor and learn a few tricks. Gu Zhenhao said, "Ambitious cultivators, if they want to rush into the top sixteen and replace them, they need to observe their details carefully, know each other and know their friends, so that they can not be defeated in a hundred battles!"

"If you say so, I'm really going to have to take a closer look today. Lin Du said seriously, "These sixteen people are my next opponents." ”

Gu Zhenhao glanced at Lin Du, "Now you say that you want to be in the top ten, I take it for granted." Wait a minute, I'll tell you the top sixteen cultivators, which battle platform to compete on. In addition, there were many dark horses in this conference, and their strength was also very strong, and they were expected to replace the original sixteen cultivators. ”

"Once the real strength is exposed, it is not a dark horse. Lin Du smiled and said, "In this way, others are already on guard against you, and you can only rely on your true strength to win, and you can't use other means." ”

"That being said, but you are still the biggest dark horse in this vein competition!" Gu Zhenhao said, "Even I can't see your true strength, you can kill Yulin with one sword, it is not just luck!"

"Sure enough, the unknown is the most terrifying. Lin Du smiled and said, "You are frightened by your own imagination, in fact, in the battle with Yulin, I have already burst out of all my strength, mainly because he is paralyzed and careless, and even Sancheng's strength has not been brought into play." In today's competition, I will wait to see how strong the opponent is, if I am too unlucky, maybe I will be eliminated in the second round. ”

"Luck is really, really important, but the most important thing is quality. Gu Zhenhao said, "The effect of the Divine Bead you gave me is really incredible, in just three days, my strength has been improved! ”

"After the second round of competition, there will be five days of rest between them, and if you refine your flying sword, your overall strength will definitely be able to improve a lot!" Lin Du said with a smile, "Entering the fourth round, there is no problem in thinking about it." ”

During the casual conversation between the two, the surrounding cultivators all looked at Lin Du and talked about it.

A moment later, the nine white-clothed elders flew onto the high platform, and the competition officially began.

"Gu Zhenhao, Ma Feng. "The white-clothed elder of the third battle platform is calling Gu Zhenhao's name.

"It's your turn to take the stage!" Lin Du said with a smile.

Gu Zhenhao smiled and nodded again and again.

"Look at it like this, do you know this Ma Feng and understand his strength?" Lin Duan couldn't help but ask when he saw Gu Zhenhao's smiling face.

"I know him, a hundred years ago, he was defeated by me, and at that time I was only narrowly defeated, and he was not convinced. Gu Zhenhao said with a smile, "I didn't expect to meet him again this time, in the past hundred years, I believe that my strength improvement will not be slower than him, no accident, I should still be able to win him, this time I have absorbed and refined the earth condensing pearl you gave me, and the certainty of winning is even greater!"

"It seems that you are really lucky, and you actually ran into a defeated former subordinate. Lin Du said with a smile.

Gu Zhenhao greeted him, and his body fluttered and flew towards the third battle platform.

The competition soon began.

Lin Duan was originally in a very relaxed mood, and looked at Gu Zhenhao's competition with the mentality of watching the excitement, thinking that it was nine out of ten.

What he didn't expect was that at the beginning of the competition, Gu Zhenhao's opponent had the upper hand and firmly suppressed Gu Zhenhao.

Lin Duan was soon relieved, thinking that the opponent lost to Gu Zhenhao a hundred years ago, holding his breath, he came up with all his strength, ready to take the lead, Gu Zhenhao was caught off guard, and it was normal to fall into the disadvantage for a while, and when he reacted, with his strong strength, he would soon be able to save the situation and gradually take the initiative.

However, the scene he imagined never happened.

After half a pillar of incense, Gu Zhenhao was still lagging behind, and there was an anxious look on his face, looking very flustered.

Every time I deal with it, it seems messy.

His opponent, on the contrary, became more and more imposing as he fought, and his attacks were like mercury pouring on the ground, extremely smooth and gorgeous, attracting many onlookers to cheer.

Lin Du was very worried about Gu Zhenhao.

But soon, a smile appeared on his face.

He found out that everyone had been deceived.

was deceived by Gu Zhenhao.

Gu Zhenhao seemed to be in a hurry, in fact, he didn't suffer any damage, and he completely blocked every wave of the opponent's attack.

If you don't take the initiative to attack, you can still steadily block the opponent's attack, and this powerful strength can only be done if you are at least one level higher than your opponent.

Although Gu Zhenhao was very flustered, after seeing his true thoughts, Lin Du couldn't help but be completely relieved.

"This old slippery head is really cunning!" Lin Du couldn't help but laugh and scolded in his heart.

What happened next was exactly what he had predicted.

After Gu Zhenhao's opponent attacked violently repeatedly, his momentum gradually decreased, and his attack became weak.

Lin Du thought that Gu Zhenhao could stage a gorgeous counterattack at this time.

What he didn't expect was that Gu Zhenhao still had a hard time, and he didn't break out in one fell swoop and take down the opponent, but saved the situation little by little and slowly gained the upper hand.

After being entangled for nearly a stick of incense, the opponent was helpless, signaled the verdict, and surrendered and admitted.

After the white-clothed elder came to the stage to announce the results, Gu Zhenhao flew off the stage with a smile on his face.

"I finally took it down, and I was exhausted. Gu Zhenhao was sweating profusely, his face could not hide his tiredness, but he still said with a smile.

Lin Du said: "You were able to take him down easily, why did you delay it for so long, you really asked for it." ”

"He lost to me a hundred years ago, he held a breath in his heart, a hundred years of accumulation, if he didn't let this anger out, he would never stop. Gu Zhenhao explained, "If I have him to fight hard, I can indeed win, but the tip of the needle against Maimang, if I don't get it right, it will be a lose-lose, I will win, and I will not be able to participate in the next competition." ”

"Let him have some and slowly wear him down, and you can also win and you won't get hurt. Gu Zhenhao said with a smile, "The most important thing is that I played so hard this time, and in the third game, the opponent must think that my strength has not improved, not to mention that I will be paralyzed and careless, at least I will not be too guarded, and then I will suddenly burst out of real strength, and they will definitely be caught off guard." ”

Lin Du suddenly realized.

The master has a move, as long as he takes the lead, and then keeps attacking, it is difficult for the opponent to parry.

"It's just the second round of the competition, and you're even thinking about the third round. Lin Du sighed, "It's really cunning and cunning, which opened my eyes." ”

"This vein competition is a life-and-death battle, although the first few rounds are relatively easy, but it is also easy to have accidents. Gu Zhenhao said, "Everyone's strength will not be too different, whether you can win or not really depends on who is more motivated." ”

Lin Du nodded repeatedly.

He competed with Yulin, relying on his mind.

If he competed with real strength, he was confident that he could still defeat Yulin, but it would never be possible to defeat him within three moves, let alone kill him.

It's too difficult.

But he moved his mind, and what could not have happened happened to him also happened to him.

Lin Du was thoughtful, Gu Zhenhao's move, he can also learn the same.

After killing Yulin with a sword, although he said that it was mainly due to luck, what he did was too shocking, leaving an indelible impression in the minds of many people, coupled with the cultivators' own imagination, they must have thought that he was extremely strong.

In this way, even if the master touches him, he will never show mercy to his subordinates, and he will be half relaxed.

If his next competition, like Gu Zhenhao, is very difficult to win, or not too easy, it will definitely be able to eliminate all kinds of imagination and speculation about him in the hearts of cultivators, and let them see a true self.

It's really hard to grasp the degree here.

Gu Zhenhao was the latest to end in the first game of the second round.

Soon, the second competition began.

"Lin Dui, Ye Peng!" On the second battle platform, the white-clothed elder called.

"What is this Ye Peng's strength?" Lin Duan was not in a hurry to come to the stage, but asked Gu Zhenhao first.

Knowing the enemy's strength, he can make appropriate responses and expressions.

"His strength is also very strong, infinitely close to the middle stage of the merger, and it is rumored that he is even stronger than Yulin. Gu Zhenhao reminded, "Against him, you must not be careless, show your strength to the fullest, after all, your cultivation is only a return period, and it is difficult to last, so if you go up, you will attack desperately, don't keep your hands." ”

"I see!" Lin Dusk said calmly.

Floating onto the battle platform, the white-clothed elder left the battle platform and closed the prohibition.

After Lin Du and Ye Peng clasped their fists and saluted each other, the competition officially began.

As soon as he came up, Lin Dui urged the sword domain to launch a fierce attack.

Ye Peng also mobilized the power of heaven and earth, the power of the flying sword was also good, and the sword attainment had already touched the threshold of the sword domain.

Thousands of cultivators, at this time, also focused their eyes on the second battle platform, staring closely at the shape on the field.

The first sword, Lin Dui gave Ye Peng a lot of pressure.

Bite!

After a crisp sword roar, the two flying swords collided together, and Ye Peng's flying sword quickly retreated.

Obviously, it can be seen that Lin Dui's freewheeling sword is going to have some upper hand.

Ding! Ding!

Lin Dui next, he attacked three swords in a row.

With every sword, he has the upper hand.

But Ye Peng also blocked it and did not suffer any injuries.

Lin Dui's successive swords were not satisfactory, and he couldn't help but start to feel a little anxious on his face, and his attacks became faster and faster.

It's just that after Ye Peng adapted to his fierce attack, he no longer chose to fight him, but began to defend passively.

The momentum is fast and fierce, one decline, and then exhaustion, the two of them hold each other for half a cup of tea, Lin Duan gradually lost that fierceness, and began to fall into a tug-of-war with Ye Peng.

With his cultivation, falling into a tug-of-war is undoubtedly tantamount to falling into a disadvantage.

"Lin Du is really strong, and he can tie with Ye Peng, who is going all out!" said a blue-clothed merging stage cultivator with emotion, "Ye Peng's strength is not weaker than that of a mid-merge stage cultivator." ”

"It's really strong, but that's it, looking at this situation, he can't beat Ye Peng. A purple-clothed cultivator next to him said arrogantly, "In this battle, Lin Duan is going to lose, and he will stop in the second round of this ore vein competition conference." ”
