On the dim Gobi desert, a man and a woman looked at each other from a distance and remained silent for a long time.
Neither of them knew what to think about this unprepared reunion, let alone their own expressions at the moment. They just looked at each other silently.
She was the first to retract her gaze, and her thoughts disappeared into those dark eyes again. The dark pupils became darker and darker, as if they brought dark power, supporting her to speak first.
"It seems we are teammates. Please give me some advice, Ling... Xiao."
Ling Xiao looked at her deeply and said softly: "Please give me some advice, Jiang...Master."
River fish, river fish.
The fish in the river finally jumped over the dragon gate and transformed into a life-long hero, but she also lost her free rivers and lakes forever.
Ling Xiao recalled those cunning and clever eyes back then, and was stunned for a moment before suddenly laughing.
What a twist of fate.
After years of separation, he became teammates with her again.
"The battle is about to begin."
Without any further thought, the organizer began to read out the rules.
At the same time, the ground beneath Ling Xiao and Jiang Yu suddenly cracked open, and seven pillars half as tall as a man stood up.
"There are two teams in the competition venue, each team has two people, and they will conduct three rounds of team battles."
"Before the start of each round of combat, the two teams can choose five magic weapons as combat options, and can view the opponent's magic weapon options and prohibit the opponent from using two of them. After the battle begins, the team that uses combat options other than the rules will immediately Defeated."
"In addition, five talismans count as one magic weapon, and a set of formation flags counts as one magic weapon. It is prohibited to kill each other on the same team, it is prohibited to use the talisman options submitted by the other team, it is prohibited to use talismans of level four and above, and it is prohibited to use more than taboo level 10 %Powerful formation."
"The way to win is to kill the opponent, or the opponent surrenders."
"Up to 10 stars can be submitted in each round of battle. The winning team will receive the total number of stars submitted by the two teams, which will be deducted from the losing team members. The portion that cannot be divided will be determined by drawing lots."
"The first round will start in ten minutes. Please submit the magic weapon for the first round within five minutes of both teams."
The rules this time were more complicated, and the organizer also thoughtfully threw out a jade slip of rules and dropped it on the ground.
Ling Xiao and Jiang Yu were still standing, neither picking it up, each digesting the rules they received.
There are five magic weapons, and two are banned, which means that both sides actually only have three magic weapons that can be used in battle.
However, there are seven pillars in front of me.
Ling Xiao glanced at it and suddenly understood.
On the two extra pillars, there are two light balls, one black and one white, with "Martial Skills" and "Spells" written inside, which are the default combat options.
But it can also be banned!
The body-forging monks were banned from martial arts, which was equivalent to a significant reduction in combat power. In comparison, the ban on spells is somewhat acceptable. After all, magic monks rely more on the power of magic weapons.
After a moment, Ling Xiao looked at Jiang Yu, who also looked at him.
After a moment of silence, she brushed the sleeves of her robe, and there were two more magic weapons in front of her.
A sword covered in purple air, and a miniature walnut burned with flames.
"I only use two magic weapons. Submit the remaining three!"
she says.
The sword and walnuts fell to the top of the pillar and remained motionless.
Ling Xiao pondered for a moment and suddenly had an idea. He brushed his robe sleeves and summoned a sword and a pair of eight-edged golden hammers, flying towards the pillar together with the jade pendant around his waist.
After submitting, Ling Xiao patted his butt and sat down.
Jiang Yu didn't speak either.
The gap between the two seems to be wider than the Gobi Desert. Even if they are close at hand, it is like a natural chasm.
Five minutes passed.
"Please ban the other team's two magic weapons within one minute."
The organizer's voice came again, and a light curtain appeared in front of the two of them.
The light screen lists the five magic weapons submitted by the opponent, as well as two options of martial arts and spells.
"Which one is forbidden?"
Jiang Yu asked.
Ling Xiao glanced around and saw swords, guns, swords and halberds all lined up on the light screen, which looked extremely scary.
There may be confusing options in it, but Ling Xiao couldn't be sure, let alone what his opponent was good at, so he shrugged and said, "Except for martial arts, you can ban whatever you want."
Jiang Yu frowned slightly.
Although the first round is likely to be a test, there is no guarantee that the opponent will not reveal all their cards and fight hard at once.
However, without any information at the moment, it is useless to think more.
She shook her head and casually banned the most common swords and magic weapons, leaving the spear, halberd, and seal to her opponent.
One minute is over.
Two of the seven pillars here are also dimmed.
The two swords dimmed, leaving behind the jade pendant, fire walnut and eight-edged golden hammer.
Ling Xiao smiled, as if he had expected it.
As soon as the two swords came out, the other side would definitely suspect that there was a full-time sword cultivator here, so they simply banned both of them.
After all, if a sword cultivator loses his sword, he loses his soul.
"The game will start in four minutes. Please submit the number of mortgaged stars before the start. If it times out, you will automatically lose."
The organizer said again.
This time, there was complete silence.
"How many are submitted?" Jiang Yu asked again, while glancing at the 21 stars above Ling Xiao's head with complicated eyes.
She only has 15 stars.
Ling Xiao jumped up and answered without hesitation: "10, if you want to bet, bet on a big one!"
Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment.
Before he could think about it, Ling Xiao stepped forward and clicked on the "10" option on the light screen.
"You can see the amount of your opponent's mortgage here. The opponent hasn't taken any action yet. Let's scare them to death first!" Ling Xiao laughed and said.
Jiang Yu's cheek twitched slightly, but he said nothing.
This guy didn't discuss it with her and forcibly mortgaged 10 stars!
This is the first time in so many years that someone dares to ignore her wishes!
She felt a rare anger, but she wasn't sure where it really came from.
Is it because he has more stars than me?
Is it because he ignored his own wishes?
Or is it because he...is still alive?
But he's still alive, should I really be angry?
Just when she was feeling uneasy, she was suddenly startled when she saw Ling Xiao coming to her at some point and staring intently into her eyes.
Jiang Yu was startled and waved his sleeves: "What are you doing?"
Ling Xiao's expression was serious. He looked at her and said word by word: "No one here knows you. How long will you continue to display your majesty as the leader of Zifengtai?"
Her delicate body trembled and she was stunned for a moment, but she turned her head away, unwilling to look at him.
Ling Xiao shrugged, then changed the subject and asked, "Are my brothers and sisters okay?"
Jiang Yu was silent for a moment and said, "I don't know, I didn't pay attention."
It's best if you don't pay attention.
Ling Xiao became happy and said with a smile: "Where's Ah He, is she okay?"
Jiang Yu said: "We were lucky to build the foundation in the past two years, but now it's even better."
Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment, recalling Ah He's appearance and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
That girl can build a foundation even if she doesn't practice all day long. It's really God's fault.
Jiang Yu suddenly turned around and said calmly: "Who else do you want to ask? Just ask it all at once!"
Ling Xiao opened his mouth, froze for a moment, nodded and asked, "Do you know Liu Junhuan from the black market in Linfeng City?"
The corners of Jiang Yu's eyes twitched slightly, as if he thought of something. After a moment, he said coldly: "I don't know him."
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Is it because she is prettier than you and you refuse to get to know her?"
Jiang Yu clenched his fists and tried his best to endure it, barely getting angry enough to have an attack.
Ling Xiao asked again: "Dong Qingran, you should know him, right?"
Her spirit was shaken, and she could no longer hold on to the majesty of the leader. She looked at him with wide eyes and said in surprise: "No way, brother, Dong Qingran is also your lover?"
This look was exactly the same as when he heard the gossip about Ling Xiao's "broken love" in the tavern.
