Chapter Ninety-Three: Luck
The eastern territory of the Great Chu Dynasty. Qianlong Mountain Range of Yunzhou County.
In the Great Hall of Extreme Merit at the top of Jiuhua Peak, more than a hundred male and female monks in different costumes gathered together, these people were all the heads of large and small cultivation sects and families in the Eastern Soil Cultivation Realm, and all of them had disciples who had entered the fourth round of the competition.
Qianlongmen Sect Master Xie Tianci cleared his throat and said loudly: "Fellow Daoists, please be quiet, yesterday's game has now been counted, a total of 237 people participated in the third round of the competition, except for one bye, among the 118 people who won, it has been determined that five people are unable to continue to participate due to serious injuries, that is to say, there are only 114 people left in the next round of the competition, and there are only 100 people who can go to Qingtianling to participate in the meeting on behalf of our Eastern Earth Cultivation Realm, everyone will talk about it, how to arrange the next round of competition?"
One of the thin old monks, said: "It's hard to say, according to the practice of previous years, among the one hundred and fourteen winners, twenty-eight people were drawn by lot, and the remaining eighty-six people directly advanced to the top 100. ”
"Wu Daoyou, are you misremembering?" a middle-aged female cultivator said, "According to the past practice, those five people who are unable to continue to participate in the competition due to serious injuries also have the right to participate in the lottery, after all, they are also the winners, there are still more than five months before the Qingtianling Festival, such a long time, they will definitely be able to recover from injuries and compete." ”
Obviously, this middle-aged female cultivator's disciple must have been one of the five seriously injured.
In the main hall, everyone started talking one after another, Zhong Xiaoling and Jing Sidao just sat on the side and listened, among the seven disciples who won the Linghai Pavilion this time. Only Tan Yang's injury has not healed, but his injury did not worsen in the last round. In three more days, it will be completely restored. The other six disciples were even more fine, so this matter didn't matter to Ling Haige.
"Okay, let's follow the practice of the previous session. "Thank God, "The five injured people also participated in the lottery, so that we have to draw thirty-eight people through the lottery, and the remaining eighty-one people will directly advance to the top 100, and the remaining nineteen places will be won by the winners of these thirty-eight people." The first 100 places are decided later. Let's continue with the following ranking matches, what do you think?"
All the monks present have no objection, this method is very fair, if the five seriously injured people are drawn into the knockout round, they can only blame their own lives, and their opponents can pick up a big bargain.
Xie Tianci looked around and said, "Since everyone has no objections, let's start drawing lots now." ”
Thousand Dragons Mountains. Zhutao Yiyuan.
Tan Yang was meditating cross-legged in his room, this time fighting Xie Luan. It's just a broken wound, and the leg is only a flesh wound, and in another three days, it can be completely restored.
"Boy. The old man wondered, didn't he say that he would let Xiao Ji fight?" Gongsun Wuji said, "Why are you so reckless? It's too late for you to cry. ”
Tan Yang said with a smile: "Xie Luan's cultivation happens to be an ice spell, which can be regarded as a godsend opportunity to test the power of the Ice Spirit Divine Light. I don't need to make a move. ”
Gongsun Wuji said: "The old man's ice spirit divine light still needs to be tested, this means that you haven't cultivated at home, otherwise even if Xie Luan is not practicing ice spells." As long as you practice above the sixth level, it will be easy to deal with him. ”
"It's easy for you to say, if you want to cultivate the Ice Spirit Divine Light above the sixth layer, I'm afraid it will be at least until I advance to the Zhenggang realm. Tan Yang said, "If I really have the cultivation of the Zhenggang realm, of course it will not be a problem to deal with him, you are not saying this." ”
Gongsun Wuji said: "Now it seems that it shouldn't be a big problem for you to enter the top 100, do you still plan to participate in the following ranking competition?"
Tan Yang said: "It depends on whether the prize given by Qianlongmen is attractive, if not, then I plan to abandon the game when I see it, and save Wang Zhengpei and them any tricks." ”
While he was talking, Ling Guyan, Lin Rongrong, Zhong Hongying, Jing Wuming and other disciples walked in, and the room suddenly became lively.
After inquiring about Tan Yang's injuries, Lin Rongrong smiled and said, "Tan Yang, you are really blessed with a great life. Now the disciples of Qianlongmen have spread it all over, saying that Xie Luan went mad in the competition with you, and he froze himself into an ice lump, such a big good thing, why did you let it be put on the table?"
Everyone burst into laughter, causing Gu Yan to glance at Tan Yang and said meaningfully: "Luck is only a part, Senior Brother Tan's strength is the fundamental factor that determines the outcome of the victory." Senior Brother Tan, you and I have been friends for so many years, why can't I see through you more and more?"
Tan Yang said: "Senior brother has won the award, if my strength is really as strong as my senior brother imagined, why am I so seriously injured? Look at Senior Sister Zhong and Brother Jing, the two of them are the real Tianzong talents." ”
"Just pull it down!" Jing Wuming smiled, "Don't forget, I was once your defeated man. ”
Fu Qing said: "Tan Yang, counting that sea patrol competition, I have watched you at least seven or eight games, but none of them can be understood, and sometimes I even wonder if your strength is no longer under Senior Brother Ling?"
"How is this possible!" Tan Yang smiled, "You all think too highly of me Tan Yang, I'm just lucky, if the real sword and gun are against each other, I'm afraid I won't even be able to stop Brother Jing's sword, let alone Senior Brother Ling?"
Lin Rongrong said with a smile: "Sometimes, excessive modesty is pride, forget it, don't knock on the side to get to the bottom of it, I bet he won't tell the truth no matter what." ”
While everyone was talking and laughing, Yuan Tiangang ran in from outside and said, "Pavilion Master and Elder Jing are back, summon everyone to go to the meeting, come on!"
Qianlong Mountain Range, in Xie Yunchan's cave.
Wang Zhengpei sat in the middle, and after listening to Xie Xun's report, he couldn't help but stand up suddenly, his face was full of disbelief, and he wondered: "What did you say? Xie Luan didn't lose by mistake?"
Xie Xundao: "I'm not sure about this, even Xie Luan himself didn't figure out how he was defeated, but according to his own words, he only felt a burst of cold force hit at that time, and then he was frozen into an ice lump inexplicably." ”
"Rubbish!" Wang Zhengpei said hatefully, "The dignified ninth layer of the Imperial Spirit was defeated by a mere second-layer boy of the Imperial Spirit, and he didn't even figure out how he was defeated, it's really a shame to be thrown home." ”
Wang Susu said: "Xie Luan has been immersed in ice spells for many years, if it is really Tan Yang who froze him into ice lumps, then Tan Yang's attainments in ice spells should be much higher than Xie Luan, how is this possible? ”
Xie Xundao: "It's useless to discuss these now, let's think about what to do next." ”
Wang Zhengpei said: "I told you a long time ago that this kid surnamed Tan must be extraordinary, do you believe it now? ”
"I'm still a little bit unconvinced. Wang Susu said disdainfully, "Tan Yang has been able to come so far, it's because he hasn't touched me." ”
Wang Zhengpei sneered: "Su'er, don't underestimate this stinky boy, don't say anything else, if you run into Sun Cheng and Xie Luan, what chance do you have of winning? I'm afraid it's not even thirty percent." ”
While the three of them were talking, Pan Renda hurriedly walked in from outside, bowed down and said, "Master, the results of the draw have been released, Su Su has advanced directly, and Xun'er still needs to participate in another round of elimination." ”
Wang Zhengpei said happily: "Okay, what about the stinky boy surnamed Tan?"
Zhutao Yiyuan. Inside the hall of Zhong Xiaoling's residence.
After Zhong Xiaoling announced the lottery results of the disciples one by one, the disciples present couldn't help but thunder, this time, Ling Haige's luck was simply good!
There are a total of one hundred and nineteen contestants who entered the fourth round of the competition, of which the proportion of disciples of the Thousand Dragon Sect has been greatly reduced, and the more than one hundred and forty winners of the third round have been eliminated by half, leaving only more than seventy, in fact, this situation is also normal, those who can enter the fourth round of the small and medium-sized sect family contestants, all of them are the top figures of their own sect families, and at the same time, most of them have all kinds of powerful and powerful magic weapon spirit treasures, which is naturally not easy to match.
Seven disciples of Linghai Pavilion have reached the fourth round, and six disciples, including Tan Yang, have directly advanced to the top 100, which means that these six people have already confirmed the quota to participate in the Qingtianling Festival, such an impressive record, not only is it unprecedented in the history of Linghai Pavilion for hundreds of years, but it can almost be regarded as second to none among the many small and medium-sized sect families who participated in this Jiuhuafeng Festival.
It's just that the fly in the ointment is that the disciple who fell into the knockout round is Zhong Hongying, Zhong Xiaoling's pearl in the palm of his hand! Moreover, the opponent she drew was still a disciple of the Thousand Dragon Sect of the ninth layer of the Imperial Spirit, which can be said to be even worse.
Zhong Xiaoling said with a little regret: "Ying'er, don't worry too much, you can make it to the fourth round, I am already very, very satisfied, besides, you are still young, there will be opportunities in the future, this festival should be regarded as a rare opportunity to practice!"
Lin Rongrong said: "Pavilion Master, Tan Yang and Jing Wuming are both at the second level of the Imperial Spirit, and they have also defeated the disciples of the Thousand Dragon Sect at the eighth and ninth layers of the Imperial Spirit, Xiaoying doesn't have a chance at all, right?"
"This time it's different. Zhong Xiaoling said, "The opponent that Ying'er drew this time is called Xie Li, he is the great-grandson of Xie Yan, the elder of Qianlongmen, and his strength is enough to rank in the top ten or even the top five in Qianlongmen. ”
Everyone looked at each other one by one, and a little disappointment appeared on their faces, only Tan Yang's heart moved, and suddenly thought of something......
