Soon the tenth day of October came, the autumn air was crisp, and the sect competition of Qingyun College officially began!
In this sect competition, a total of five arenas are set up, each with a diameter of about 100 meters, so that the contestants will not be unable to use their fists and kicks.
The sun has just risen, and thousands of students have already gathered in the competition field. This competition is all for disciples below the foundation-building stage, because the Hushan Secret Realm is only prepared for disciples at the Qi-training stage. There were six to seven hundred disciples participating in the competition. There were only a few dozen new disciples, and most of them were high-level disciples from previous years.
"Are you afraid when you get on stage? Do you have the confidence to score 100?"
"I'm definitely confident. I've already reached the ninth level of Qi training, and I got a new sword. It's definitely going to work. How are you? Are you confident?"
"I don't have confidence. I've only practiced Qi at the fifth level, and I'm at the bottom. I'll practice my hands."
"Well, it's good to practice your skills. It will be the same next time I go to the secret realm."
While the disciples were chatting happily, a bell sounded from above the ring, and then a voice containing magic was remembered:
"Everyone be silent!"
A middle-aged man wearing a white elder's uniform appeared on the ring. This man was upright and his eyes were piercing, like an unsheathed sword, extremely sharp.
"I am Bai Sui, the elder in charge of this sect competition. The rules of this competition are that on the basis of not harming anyone's life, the last hundred people standing on the stage will be the winners. The winner will get the next entry Qualifications for the Hushan Secret Realm. Different from previous years, disciples can form alliances according to their personal wishes. There can be two to ten alliances, or they can fight alone, as long as they are the last hundred. Now everyone is ready. We will go on stage to compete in a quarter of an hour. !”
After Elder Baisui finished speaking, he sat down on the observation deck and watched the game with the dean and other elders.
At this moment, almost all the Qi-training disciples participating in the competition were excited. They must find a way to obtain the qualification for the secret realm. After all, there are rare treasures or adventures in the secret realm that may change their destiny.
After hearing this rule that was different from the past, many quick-thinking disciples have begun to look for allies, especially those with poor cultivation and strong financial resources.
"Let's form a team. I'm practicing at the ninth level, and you're at the ninth level. Let's find a few more. Will you be able to enter the secret realm soon?"
"Okay, let's find a few more. I know a few of them, and they're amazing."
"You can form a team with me. If I get into the top 100, I will pay you 10,000 spirit stones."
"Ten thousand spirit stones? Okay, you follow me, I'll do my best."
"Hey, would you like to team up with me? I am practicing Qi at the seventh level."
A quarter of an hour is very short, and everyone is actively looking for their partners. In addition to attending normal lectures, Gu Yunchu practiced with Su Zimo all day long in the academy. He rarely interacted with other people. The only people he was most familiar with were Chu Chu and Linglong.
Because Chu Chu and Linglong did not break through to the fifth level of Qi training to meet the minimum requirements of the competition, they were the only ones to participate in this competition. Su Zimo did not participate in this competition due to identity and cultivation issues.
Su Zimo, who used to be cold and cold in the past, suddenly became a little nervous. He put his right hand on Gu Yunchu's shoulder and murmured: "Yunchu, what kind of elixir can there be in the secret realm of Hushan? Why don't you tell me, young master, what do you want?" , should I send someone to find it for you?"
Gu Yunchu wanted to roll his eyes and say to him: "My good young master, in addition to working as an errand, cook and slave, I am also a monk, a female cultivator who is committed to becoming a great swordsman. Please don't hinder my growth. Footsteps, okay?”
Upon hearing this, Su Zimo felt embarrassed to come: "Okay, okay, my Yun Chu is going to be a great sword cultivator, and will be the greatest sword cultivator in the Qingyun world in the future. However, you are now practicing the fifth level of Qi. In addition to Hunyuan Kung Fu, , I only learned the Huangquan Sword Technique, but I didn’t think it was very powerful. The technique was not outstanding, and I had never experienced actual combat with a real spear or sword. You have to be careful. There is no shame in admitting defeat if you can’t beat him. of."
Gu Yunchu listened to Gu Zimo's training while watching the situation on the field. A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and he saw more and more people on the ring. He interrupted Gu Zimo anxiously: "Zimo, don't worry, I'm really scared and excited at the moment, but I have to go up."
After speaking, he patted Su Zimo's arm and trotted along with the crowd to the stage. Everyone chose to go to the competition stage closest to them, and Gu Yunchu went to the competition stage No. 1.
There are more than a hundred disciples in each competition stage, wearing uniform blue disciple uniforms, holding different weapons, magic weapons, and spiritual weapons, eager to find the target. When Gu Yunchu was in the crowd, he suddenly felt insignificant. Well, mainly because he was not tall.
The competition stage was so noisy that it fell silent with a loud shout from Elder Baisui, and the sect competition officially began.
Because of the new rules, Gu Yunchu tried his best to keep himself in the center of the competition stage, because the person who fell off the stage first must be the one closest to the edge.
As soon as the melee started, the brothers and sisters of the same discipline who had been gentle and reasonable just now were all fierce and fierce. They were thinking about how to quickly knock others off the ring and how to ensure that they remained on the ring.
Most of the disciples who formed a team this time were strong alliances. Gu Yunchu hid in the crowd alone, hiding on the stage. Since she had no companions and no powerful skills, she tried her best to hide from the sight of the alliance. It seemed like a very powerful group of people. If you can hide, hide, if you can't hide, fight, if you can't fight, run.
Because he had no experience in melee fighting, Gu Yunchu was in a hurry at first. However, as the fighting became more and more intense, Gu Yunchu gradually adapted to the fighting on the field. When your physical strength is exhausted, pop a few Qi-nourishing Pills into your body to quickly replenish your physical strength.
So much so that an hour later, after most of the people were knocked off the platform, Gu Yunchu was still on the stage.
Spell attacks of different colors and magical weapons of different types flew around. The competition stage was like a battlefield, with roars and screams everywhere.
The melee continued until there were about thirty people left on each high platform. In order to avoid the difficulty of controlling the number of people after the melee, Elder Baisui promptly announced that the competition was suspended and the melee was changed to a targeted elimination match.
At this time, the disciples left in the arena were either high in cultivation or strong in financial resources, and all of them had high morale. On each stage, there are several distinct groups of people standing, some who formed an alliance in advance, and some who formed a temporary team on the competition stage.
Looking back at Arena No. 1, four groups of allied teams, plus a short Gu Yunchu, were alone and messy in the wind. Not to mention other martial arts arenas, Gu Yunchu has been listed as someone who must step down by the disciples on Arena No. 1.
The elimination round stipulates that each group of three will fight in a melee, and one person will be eliminated from each group. In the end, the twenty winners in each arena will be qualified to enter the secret realm. In the same group as Gu Yunchu, there was a male disciple with thick eyebrows and big eyes, named Le Qing, who was holding a giant axe, and another murderous female disciple, named Wang Dong'er, who was holding a pair of swords.
Looking at Wang Donger's burning eyes, Gu Yunchu was also helpless. It was clearly a slap in the face, but why did Wang Donger look like he wanted to take revenge.
In view of the requirements of the competition rules, the three of them announced their names and immediately started fighting. Gu Yunchu's group was already the last group to compete in Arena No. 1.
Le Qing and Wang Donger felt that each other was difficult to deal with. After looking at each other, they understood each other and at the same time used their strength like Gu Yunchu. Thinking of a quick victory, I can successfully get the place to enter the secret realm of Hushan.
Because there was only the last group left on Competition Stage No. 1, the disciples below the stage all focused their attention, and the last two places would be announced soon. Su Zimo was watching the battle in the audience. Every time Yunchu was besieged, he wanted to fly up to the high platform and beat those disciples away.
Seeing that the last 30 people who had survived without any danger were besieged by two people again, Su Zimo secretly swore that if these two people dared to hurt Gu Yunchu, he would not mind teaching them an unforgettable lesson.
The monk didn't like talking nonsense, so Le Qing jumped into the air, raised the ax with both hands and struck Gu Yunchu's head with a fierce aura. At the same time, Wang Dong'er jumped up like a leopard, holding two knives in his backhand and crossing them from the front. He slashed at Gu Yunchu's ribs.
Gu Yunchu couldn't retreat in time, so he stepped hard with his feet, used the force to fly up into the air, and stepped on Wang Donger's double swords.
At this time, a large ax overhead roared with murderous intent. Gu Yunchu squatted slightly on his knees, holding the hilt of the sword with both hands to face the huge ax.
The swords and axes collided, fires shot out, and there was a harsh metal collision sound! In an instant, Gu Yunchu felt huge pressure from his hands, forcing him to fall to the ground.
Wang Donger's double swords were stepped on the ground by Gu Yunchu. Wang Donger bent forward and used force to withdraw the double swords.
At this time, Gu Yunchu, who was raising his sword to resist the giant axe, had his right hand cracked and blood flowing out. But strangely, the blood did not flow down the handle of the knife, but was all sucked into the handle. While resisting the giant axe, Gu Yunchu used his feet harder and harder to prevent Wang Donger from withdrawing the knife.
For the first time, Gu Yunchu missed his thick legs in his previous life. If he still had those thick legs, and with the spiritual power poured into him, at least the lower body would be stable enough to prevent his legs and hands from shaking at the same time like now.
As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands. Gu Yunchu, who was at the fifth level of Qi training, had a low level of cultivation to begin with. When he met two opponents with rich fighting experience and decisive killing, he could barely hold on for a few breaths before feeling that he was too weak. If the stalemate continues, he will either be beheaded by a giant axe, or Wang Donger will draw out his two swords and cut him in the waist.
Gu Yunchu had no choice but to shout loudly and forcefully run Hunyuan Kung Fu to protect his heart. While removing the dagger that was used to resist the giant axe, his body quickly rolled to the side.
When Wang Dong'er saw this, he followed up with the blade of his right hand and aimed at Gu Yunchu's right arm holding the sword. Gu Yunchu stopped his body, rolled and knelt on the high platform, his arms drooped, and all the red blood flowed onto the black Wangchuan dagger.
Adhering to the principle of taking advantage of your illness to kill you, Le Qing knelt down when he saw the knife in the middle. He immediately used the ax as a support, swept his legs horizontally, and kicked Gu Yunchu's legs in a spinning motion, trying to kick Gu Yunchu off the competition platform. At this time, Wang Dong'er was not far behind, and had already taken out his left knife and slashed towards Gu Yunchu's neck.
In a moment of urgency, Gu Yunchu lay down backwards to avoid the knife thrown by Wang Dong'er. When he jumped up, he was slow for a moment and was kicked by Le Qing in the back. He spat out a mouthful of blood and accidentally sprayed it on the Wangchuan sword.
Gu Yunchu's body, which was kicked, stopped abruptly about seven feet away from the competition stage. Because in panic, Gu Yunchu inserted Wangchuan forcefully into the bluestone of the competition stage, causing the audience to scream in surprise!
