Chapter 2: The Battle of the Strong (I)
The state of Chu is located in the southernmost part of the Xianling Continent, occupying the rich land around Jinling, relying on the dangerous terrain of Jinhan and Nanshan, gradually advancing from south to north, annexing several small countries around it, and expanding its territory step by step. This undoubtedly caused a threat to the Shu Kingdom in the northwest. Liu Yuan, the monarch of Shu State, is a hero, and there are countless capable people under him, so naturally he will not be so cheap in Chu. He has sent killers to kill the generals of the Chu army many times to obstruct the further northward advance of the Chu State. It is estimated that the war between Chu and Shu broke out long ago, and the charcoal was slaughtered. Among the three kingdoms of Chu, Shu, and Liao, the strength of the state of Chu is undoubtedly the strongest. Shu was second, and Liao was slightly inferior to Shu, but Chu was not strong enough to annex either of the two. Otherwise, I am afraid that I would have done it long ago, and the three kingdoms have been maintaining a strong three-point position, restraining and containing each other since three hundred years. At the same time, they each have ghosts in their hearts, and they are deliberately trying to find ways to enhance their national strength, in order to unify the entire Fairy Spirit Continent.
This time, in order to develop the strong of the young generation, the Chu State specially held the Youth Strong Tournament in Nanshan, but the preliminary competition was only at the foot of the mountain. Only the families that advance to the top 10 and enter the semi-finals will be eligible to watch the semi-finals at the top of the South Mountain.
This Immortal Continent Powerhouse Contest can be described as unprecedented, and the participating sects and families have surpassed the previous ones, and the sects that have entered the top ten. The participating disciples of the family and the spectator crowd have long gathered in the square, a group of three or five is discussing, the ring is arranged in the shape of eight trigrams, and a high platform is built next to each ring, and there are four seats set up on it, which is the sitting seat set up for the elders of the major families who supervise the game, in order to let the disciples of each family and sect play without distraction, and in order to let everyone watch the game safely, each game is forbidden by the elders who supervise the game, so as to prevent the leakage of strong mana and the spectators.
On the day of the semifinals, Lin Sheng came to the dueling arena on the top of the mountain early. The late autumn morning was already mixed with a bit of cold air, and the mist of the book drifted over the dueling arena, and the milky white mist trembled gently in the morning breeze. Lin Sheng circled around the dueling arena twice, but saw that the eight blood-colored pillars were standing in the eight directions of the arena, each pillar was inlaid with seven superb fairy spirit stones, and the seven spirit stones were arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper, and the eight pillars were also arranged in strict accordance with the Fuxi Bagua Formation.
Lin Sheng stuck out his tongue, worthy of the royal style, this is really a big deal, just the seven top-grade spirit stones on this pillar are afraid that they will be worth the total income of a big family for a year, not to mention, he also has to invite master-level people to accurately arrange this Fuxi Bagua Array, Lin Sheng didn't know that these eight big pillars were made of Zhu Tie, the treasure of refining weapons, but it was an ordinary Xuantie with a layer of Zhu Dan brushed outside, otherwise he would definitely be even more shocked by Chu Guo's generosity.
Lin Sheng was sighing there.
Suddenly, a dragon roar came from far and near, accompanied by the soft light of ten thousand ways and sorrow. Before Lin Sheng could react, he had already reached the center of the dueling arena in an instant. The soft light dissipated, and a gorgeously dressed middle-aged man was standing on the body of a giant dragon, holding a beautiful woman in his arms, and the elderly immediately recognized this man as Liu Chuiqing, the younger brother of the emperor of Chu State, Liu Yuye, and also the father of Lin Sheng's opponent Liu Ran, and the beauty in his arms was his princess, Duan Duyan, the princess of Dali.
Seeing this, the elders hurriedly saluted, but these young talents did not think so, even if there were young people who knew Liu Chuiqing, they did not salute Liu Chuiqing for the sake of face. They all stood there by themselves, staring at the dragon with their eyes staring at Liu Chuiqing's mount, and they all showed envy... It's no wonder that this dragon is the first choice for mounting, and owning a dragon is the dream of several generations of major families, not to mention that Liu Chuiqing's feet are a giant dragon! This is a level higher than the average earth dragon. In the Fairy Spirit Continent, dragons can be divided into five grades: Earth Dragon, Giant Dragon, Holy Dragon, Divine Dragon, and Celestial Dragon. This Heavenly Dragon, Holy Dragon, and Divine Dragon have only appeared in legends, but the Immortal Spirit Continent has never appeared in the past three hundred years, it is a giant dragon, and there are few in the entire Immortal Spirit Continent, and the Earth Dragon has the lowest level, but it is not something that ordinary people can have. Having a dragon can not only improve the attack and combat effectiveness of immortal cultivators, but also be a status symbol. "Wake up to the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beautiful women. "What a pride! A good man must be careful to have this ambition in his heart! Therefore, the dragon has become the spiritual sustenance of the hot-blooded men.
Seeing that these young talents did not salute themselves, but stared at their own mounts and drooled, it was also a sign, but then he realized that these boys were coveting their own dragons! This giant dragon beggar was inadvertently given a tribute to the imperial brother by a small country on the edge of the Chu State, and the imperial brother gave it to me, how can a small person like you have it.
At this time, the bell announcing the start of the competition had struck three times, and the elders who supervised the competition took their seats on the high platform of the final arena one after another. Next, the top 10 players participating in the semi-finals will draw a lottery to determine their opponents and competition system. Lin Sheng thought that his father and elders were going to defeat Liu Ran last night, and he said in his heart that he was afraid that it would be Liu Ran. took the jade plate handed over by the elder, and when I looked at it, sure enough, the jade plate was engraved with Liu Ran. smiled bitterly, and then showed a ruthless light in his eyes: Hmph, if you want to win by such despicable means, you are so shameless because the Liu family is still a royal family, but it is a pity that you have found the wrong person, I will never compromise on this.
Lin Sheng's order of play is two battles, and the first game is by Dali Duanjia Duan Kong against the remnant sword faction Chen Shuichang. Duan Kong is the only contemporary man of the Duan family, and his martial arts are deeply inherited, and he has even cultivated the Duan family's supreme six-vein divine sword, using his strength as a sword, injuring the enemy dozens of meters away. As the most outstanding contemporary disciple of the Remnant Sword Sect, Chen Shuichang is not in vain, a remnant sword swept the young master of the Remnant Sword Sect, and he was deeply loved by the patriarch, and he was able to obtain the true inheritance of the Remnant Sword Sect. These two people are on a pair, and it is really Mai Mang who has met the tip of the needle, and he has to fight.
"Bell... The bell rang again. "Start" With the order of the elder of the prison competition, Duan Kong and Chen Shuichang each jumped onto the battle platform, Chen Shuichang hugged his fist: Please! Duan Kong also hugged his fist: please! After speaking, both of them retreated three or four meters, and rushed forward, as soon as the two entered the field, they slapped each other, because it was a temptation, neither of them used all their strength, but the strength was also a violent discharge, if it were not for the prohibition arranged by the elders in advance, the audience around the dueling arena was afraid that they would also suffer. Through the pair of palms of the two, both of them said that the other party's good skills were good, Duan Kong suddenly retracted his contempt, and his face became solemn, and Chen Shui Chang was also careful to sacrifice his own residual sword. Then the two fought together again, Duan Kong's six-vein divine sword was full of energy, Chen Shui's long remnant sword was in the air, and for a while, the two of them disappeared from the field, only the dazzling sword light remained, even if the skill was profound, they could only see the two of them.
Lin Sheng stood under the stage, looking at these two people, his face was even more excited, and he said in his heart: These two people can be called real opponents, but they are many times stronger than those trash in the previous games, and how happy it should be to have a fight with such an opponent.
"Boom" was another loud bang, almost shattering the elders' prohibition. After the loud noise, the entire dueling arena fell silent, everyone held their breath, the entire arena was so quiet that even the needle could be heard if it fell to the ground, and the fierce sword light on the field just now also dissipated instantly, but Duan and Chen were gone, and they didn't even see the afterimage.
"Holes, there are two holes in the ground!" Everyone was looking for Duan and Chen, and some careful people finally discovered the abnormality. Lin Sheng followed his gaze, and sure enough, there were two holes in the dueling arena that looked like dry wells three feet square. Lin Sheng was happy in his heart, completely ignoring the angry eyes of the people of the Duan family's very ruthless sword sect around him, and said, "These two people, I'm afraid that they will be shocked into the ground by their own violent energy to catch mice." Sure enough, after half a cup of tea, there was another bang, and the two jumped out of the hole in embarrassment. Both of them were pale, apparently suffering from unclear internal injuries, their clothes had long since become wicker-like, and their hair was loose and sandy. Those who don't know think it's a beggar from the slum. As soon as they stood firm, they each spat out blood and fell down abruptly. The people of the Duan family and the Remnant Sword Sect hurriedly came to the stage and carried the two down for treatment. In this way, the two ended in a draw, and each of them was seriously injured, and I am afraid that it would not be better without March and May.
