Chapter 81: Dabi
Early in the morning, like other peaks, the monks who participated in the Dabi of the South China Peak gathered on the site of the South China Peak and completed the whole team by the stewards of each group. The other monks of South China Peak who did not participate in the competition, all who could come came, gathered in a circle to watch.
The site is located near the enclosure above the mountainside. South China Peak has opened up a large flat with a circle of 80 zhang, and in the middle is a large field with a length and width of 50 zhang. Every ten zhang is separated by a formation, separated into a total of 25 squares, and there is a small passage at the edge of each square field that only allows one person to pass, which is convenient for monks to enter and exit the competition field.
This formation sets up an outside-in consciousness and perspective to adjudicate the monks' judgments, but the inner consciousness and vision do not probe the outside, so that the monks can focus on the competition. The first round is one hundred and ninety-one matches, each game is one hour, all the draws, and finally a staggered extra game, two hours to decide the winner, and those who have not yet decided the winner, the referee will decide the winner.
Generally, after a round of competition, the draw is only about one percent, so that the first round, it takes eight hours to compete and two hours to test, and the time of the first round is five hours on the first day and five hours on the second day. One hundred and ninety-one monks were decided.
Liu Jingjian, the master of South China Peak and the ancestor of the Jindan period, said some words of encouragement on the bluestone platform temporarily erected on the side of the mountain in the big competition. The chief steward of the foundation building period, Bi Xiu, read out the rules of the competition, and assigned the deacon disciples, and unveiled the public notice board under the bluestone platform.
The card shows the list of the first round and the tree diagram of each round. These lists have been drawn on the public notice board in advance after being decided by drawing lots by several stewards such as Bi Xiu. The presiding monk Bi Xiu read out the list and venue of the first round, and soon, Bi Xiu announced the start of the competition.
Wang Xian had just watched the first game of the first round, and an hour later, he heard his name. He was on the second side of the first round, the venue was on the twelfth, that is, the second position in the third row, Wang Xian walked into the small passage outside the field where the formation had been activated, and used the disciple's jade card to draw on the hidden wall of the field, a faint round hole was exposed, and the hard ground in the field was clearly visible.
Wang jumped into the middle of the field first. Soon, another opponent also entered the field. Wang Xian looked carefully and knew that the other party was a monk in the middle stage of Qi refining, tall and thin, wearing the same cyan disciple robe. Wang Xian smiled slightly in his heart, and teased himself, it seems that he is lucky.
The two bowed, and Wang Xian held the low-level Xuanqi Golden Sword in his hand, waiting for the other party to strike first. Generally speaking, a higher-level monk and a lower-level fellow disciple will let the other party take the lead out of courtesy, which is not only a kind of self-confidence in strength, but also a manifestation of status. The monk's expression was serious, and he attacked with two low-level mystical golden swords in a decent manner.
After only a few fights, the situation in the field was one-sided. Although the slender monk had two low-level mystical weapons, his mana was too far from Wang Xian, not only the gap between the middle and end stages of qi refining, but his exercises were also thirty percent worse than Hua Tiangong.
Therefore, Wang Xiansheng seemed to be strolling leisurely, wielding the golden sword lightly, resisting the opponent's two golden swords, each time it was faster and more accurate, and the strength was incomparable. The monk's mana was already weak, and he had to use two mysterious golden swords at the same time, which was quite difficult.
Originally, he still had two low-level high-grade runes, but seeing that he was too far away from Wang Xian, and the opponent used Hua Tianzong's treasure Hua Tiangong and Hua Tian Sword Technique, he didn't plan to release these two runes.
He blushed with shame, but after a dozen rounds of attacks, he took the initiative to take a leap back and admit defeat. Wang Xian hadn't had time to use the Huatian Sword Technique at this time, he just waved his hand and took the defensive position, otherwise, this monk would probably admit defeat earlier.
Wang Xian has always only defended and not attacked, in fact, there is a desire to delay for a while, and he doesn't want to end the competition too early and walk out of the formation. But unexpectedly, the opponent was so thin-faced that he was embarrassed to persist and miss such an opportunity to cut with a high-level monk.
If this monk only attacks and does not defend, and uses all his strength, he will indeed have more gains, and Wang Xian did not hesitate to teach him a few tricks to use the Huatian swordsmanship of Huatian Gongyun, but it didn't hurt him.
Wang Xian didn't know that this monk was a casual cultivator, his net worth was not rich, and the two low-level Xuanqi golden swords were also obtained by accident, and the two low-level high-grade runes had exhausted his savings.
He came to the competition with the mentality of trying, although he wanted to hold on for a while, but he was worried that Wang Xian would suddenly exert his strength, turn defense into offense, and force him to use the talisman, which would inevitably hurt his heart, so he admitted defeat early.
At the end of the competition, everyone watched, Wang Xian couldn't delay in the formation, so he followed the monk and jumped out of the formation. At this time, the adjudicator monk standing on the bluestone platform announced the victory or defeat of this battle loudly. After Wang went out first, he returned to the group and took a look at the situation in the field, only to find that about 20% of the field was empty, and it was not early for Wang to go out first.
The battles that took place in these empty fields were basically monks at the end of Qi refining, and against monks in the middle stage of Qi refining, they were unwilling to drag mud and water in the first round, after all, it would not be beneficial to themselves to cut off with a lower-level monk. And once you are accidentally attacked, it is not beautiful. So as soon as he went into battle, he shot with all his might, pressed the opponent to fight, and quickly forced the opponent to admit defeat.
Seeing that he had come out early, he and his fellow monks carefully watched the competition. When the monks in the same group saw him come out, they secretly said that he was lucky and was assigned to play against the monks in the middle stage of qi refining.
Many of them didn't see that Wang Xianyun had used Huatian Gong, but only that Wang Xian had not used Huatian Sword Technique. When entering the competition, none of these Qi Refining Late Stage cultivators had ever seen Wang Xian, who was in the middle stage of Qi Refining Group at that time, make a move. Seeing that Wang Xian was a little untouched, he knew that he was a newly advanced seventh-level Qi Refining Stage cultivator.
Many people looked at them with a little disdain in their eyes, and said secretly: "It's just a newcomer who has just advanced to the end of Qi refining, do you really think it's time to catch up?" "Soon left Wang Xian behind. Among the newcomers at the end of the newly advanced qi refining stage, only Huang Jie and Dai Haijun were quite dazzling, but it seemed that no one else was favored. However, Wang Qingfu, the steward of this group, and Guo Yuan, the deputy steward, both stared at Wang Xian for a while.
The two of them had been looking for monks to complete the bounty task of their group, and they saw today's competition as an opportunity. Guo Yuan was quite jealous of Wang Xian because he had fought with Wang Xian, felt that he couldn't see through him, and kept doubting him, so he stared at Wang Xian.
Wang Qingfu had investigated the whereabouts of the monks at the end of Qi refining, and he didn't find any clues, so he paid special attention to the monks who had broken through from the middle stage of Qi refining to the end of Qi refining in the past year. There were only three monks in the tenth group who had broken through to the end of Qi refining, and the other two were of course the objects of his attention, but they hadn't started the competition yet.
In this way, by the end of the second day, Wang Xian had finished watching the first eight games, and the first round of eight hours of the official competition. It was the first time for Wang Xian to watch the battle against the same sect at the end of the South China Peak Qi Refining, not counting the newly advanced monks, Wang Xian had only seen Ren Xing make a move before. Others, even if they are the famous Sun Lei, Zhang Yuxun in the second group, and He Xiaohong in the fourth group, he only hears of his name.
Wang Xian soon discovered that Sun Lei, Zhang Yuxun, He Xiaohong, and the newly advanced seed cultivators, Huang Jie and Dai Haijun, were all cultivators of Hua Tiangong. Sun Lei made a fire surnamed middle-level Xuanqi sword, the nine-layer Great Perfection realm at the end of Qi refining, the peak of the second layer of Huatian Gong, and the Huatian sword technique that was as powerful as fire, it was unstoppable. Opponents are often defeated in a few moves, and magic weapons are either smashed into the air or cut off.
Zhang Yuxun and Huang Jie both made a middle-level mysterious metal surnamed Jin Sword, Zhang Yuxun was powerful and aggressive, Huang Jie was free to sway, and he was at his fingertips.
Dai Haijun's twin hammers have been upgraded to two low-level weapons with metal surnames, golden hammers, howling winds, and invincible blockers. Its hammer method seems to be born from the Huatian sword method, but it is less sharp and smart, and more majestic and heavy, and it is not easy to melt the Huatian sword method in the hammer.
And He Xiaohong used a mid-level Xuanqi golden sword with the surname Bing. Its opponent's body seems to be seriously slow, and it is either an old man like a candle in his old age or a stupid wrestler like an ox, and it is completely difficult to resist his attack.
This is supposed to be due to the mana of the Ice Sword. There were also several ninth- and eighth-level monks at the end of Qi refining, whose mana spells were also remarkable, and each had their own strengths, which left a deep impression on Wang Xian. With so many people competing at the same time, Wang Xian couldn't take care of it, so he basically carefully observed the more prominent seven or eight people.
Everyone knows that the competition will end in the ninth game of the first round, and the ninth test of the first round will be supplemented by the monk who has drawn, and most people are not interested in watching it again. Like Wang Xian, at the beginning of the ninth additional test, they left the field one after another and returned to their residences to prepare for or watch tomorrow's competition.
