Following the order from the presiding elder, a referee came to each arena one after another. Each referee held a lottery tube in his hand, picked out two lottery tickets from the lottery tube, and said loudly: "Arena No. 1, Number six versus number twenty!”
"No. 2 Arena, No. 17 vs. No. 187!"
"No. 3, No. 203 vs. No. 237!"
"Arena No. 4,...!"
"...!"
One by one, the disciples jumped onto the ring with their registration numbers, and the competition officially began!
Bai Yiyi glanced at Cheng Ling and asked, "Brother Ling, what's your number?"
"I am number 860."
"That's good. I am number 145, and Sister Youlan is number 650. We are not in the same arena, so we can avoid encounters."
Cheng Ling nodded and said with a smile: "Yiyi, this is not like you. Are you still afraid of meeting us?"
Bai Yiyi rolled her eyes and said: "Although there are ten disciples in each group who can advance, if we meet them earlier, it will take more effort. I am thinking about it for you."
"Haha, you are very thoughtful."
Bai Yiyi turned her head, ignored him, and asked Wu Chenlong: "By the way, Xiao Longzi, what's your number?"
Wu Chenlong had a wry smile on his face and thought to himself, you girl, you are two years younger than me, so you are not ashamed to sound so old-fashioned. However, the other party was very powerful and he was really no match for him. He didn’t dare to provoke him easily, so he could only say: “I am No. 87!”
Bai Yiyi raised her face, patted his shoulder and said, "Oh, that's good. Come on, sister will protect you."
Cheng Ling smiled, and Wu Chenlong's face was covered with black lines.
The competition went quickly, and among the one thousand disciples, they were basically the elites in the academy. To stand out in such a fierce competition, there will always be some means.
The smell of gunpowder between the various Taoist academies is very strong, and the disciples of the three Taoist academies are scattered. If they are facing those from the same Taoist academy, they will be more polite. If you are in a different Taoist school, especially if you encounter a Fa Taoist school, you will basically end up injured, no matter you are the winner or the loser!
Cheng Ling shook his head secretly. Such competition had destroyed the original intention. If the academy's senior officials did not interfere, big trouble would one day occur.
After waiting for half an hour, Wu Chenlong took the lead. His opponent is a disciple of the Fa Daoyuan named Cheng Hongliang. Just by hearing this name, he knew he was a child of the Cheng family, and Cheng Ling secretly told him to be careful.
Because of his relationship, the Law Court did not have a good impression of Wu Chenlong. As for Bai Yiyi and Gu Youlan, the two women are naturally exceptional because of their peerless youthfulness. They are easily provoked by no one and all the hatred is concentrated on Cheng Ling and Wu Chenlong.
Wu Chenlong mustered up his energy. The opponent's cultivation had reached Nascent Soul Consummation. Although his aura was not strong, his cultivation was a level higher than his own, and he did not dare to relax at all.
As soon as the battle began, Cheng Hongliang was at full strength, bombarding Wu Chenlong with overwhelming spells. Wu Chenlong guarded the door, never retreating even a step, and his defense was airtight.
Over the past year and more, being imprisoned in Zhuyin Pavilion, although his cultivation level has not improved much, his swordsmanship foundation and sword intention have been well tempered. Following Cheng Ling's instructions, he practiced basic swordsmanship for four hours every day, and the rest was to fight against the sword intent in the bamboo forest.
The bamboo forest sword energy that filled the sky persisted, and Cheng Hongliang's spell attacks were insignificant. However, his shortcomings are also obvious, he does not have a powerful sword attack. Originally, Cheng Ling wanted to help him get a local high-level swordsmanship secret book.
Unfortunately, Earth-level high-level secrets can only be redeemed with achievement points earned by oneself, and the academy prohibits disciples from teaching each other. Later, when I returned to the Wuxiang Sword Sect, things were delayed.
.
Wu Chenlong could only study the original low-level swordsmanship all day long. He learned from Cheng Ling that fusion swordsmanship also had incredible power. I tried to integrate the swordsmanship I had learned before. It has been more than a year and has achieved some results.
It's just that it's not used much in actual combat, and I can't let go of it for a while. The two fought for a while, and Wu Chenlong gradually figured out Cheng Hongliang's spell and began to fight back. Although the power of earth-level low-level swordsmanship is not very strong, it will still be injured if hit head-on.
Moreover, Wu Chenlong's swordsmanship looks very messy. Sometimes he uses a swordsmanship move, sometimes he uses a few swordsmanship moves, and then he uses a few basic swordsmanship moves, which makes people confused at all. His style is changeable and completely irregular. He keeps getting closer to Cheng Hongliang during battles.
The two fought fiercely for half an hour, and finally Wu Chenlong seized a chance and suddenly launched a series of sword moves. Cheng Hongliang was caught off guard and retreated continuously, and was finally forced to fall off the ring.
"No. 87 wins!" The court attendant immediately announced the result.
Wu Chenlong took a long breath, got off the ring and walked to Cheng Ling's side.
Cheng Ling said calmly: "The marks on your swordsmanship are still too heavy. Let go. Don't worry about any swordsmanship moves or swordsmanship. Whatever your heart thinks, wherever your sword goes, you can win without any moves. Just catch the opponent." Even basic swordsmanship can be fatal!”
Wu Chenlong listened quietly, recalling the battle just now in his mind, and finally his eyes lit up, and he said to Cheng Ling: "I understand, thank you, boss!"
Cheng Ling nodded and said: "The level of swordsmanship is not high, which is your weakness, and defense strength is your strength. If you want to go further in the arena competition, you must first ensure that you are invincible, and then carefully look for the opponent. Use the flaw to achieve a fatal blow!"
"You are like an assassin who wants to catch others by surprise. Learn from it!"
Wu Chenlong nodded frequently, and finally sat down cross-legged to carefully comprehend Cheng Ling's instructions.
Over there, Bai Yiyi and Gu Youlan stood on the ring respectively.
Bai Yiyi was facing a disciple from the martial arts academy. The other person was very shy and did not dare to look at her. He was just defensive.
Cheng Ling smiled bitterly. He dared to defend himself when he encountered Bai Yiyi, but he couldn't concentrate. He really didn't know how to write the word "death"!
Sure enough, within a few moves, Bai Yiyi knocked him off the ring, and he didn't even have time for a cup of tea.
There was a burst of cheers from the audience. This girl had many admirers and was very lively. She was more popular than Gu Youlan.
Looking at Gu Youlan again, she is facing a disciple of the Fa Dao Academy. Her cultivation has reached the peak of Nascent Soul Consummation, and her strength is not outstanding! At the beginning, the two-handed finger gestures were played frequently, and the sky was filled with spells and they were pressed towards Gu Youlan.
There was a burst of exclamation from the audience, all worried about Gu Youlan. How can one dodge such a dense spell?
Gu Youlan still had a cold temperament and didn't care about the spell in front of her. The figure moved slightly, the sword light flashed, and a fine sword net was laid in front of him, blocking all spells. Then, he rushed forward and was in front of the disciple in an instant.
The disciples of the Law School were shocked. In the opening spell combo, he almost used all his strength, trying to get the upper hand. Who knew that Gu Youlan was so powerful and could use so many spells without any damage, and came straight in front of her. He quickly drew a large circle and used a defensive light shield.
"Pfft!"
With a soft sound, the defensive light shield in front of him was cut through like rags by Gu Youlan's sword, and the remaining sword energy directly hit his chest. The disciple spat out a mouthful of blood and wanted to retreat. Suddenly he felt the sharp sword energy coming from behind, and he was shocked. He didn't expect that the opponent's movements were so fast and he had already turned behind him.
Seeing that he couldn't resist, he could only shout loudly: "Stop, I give up!"
The sharp sword energy rubs
The sleeves on the side were scraped, making a hissing sound. The disciple was still frightened, but he had to admit defeat first, otherwise this sword attack would not only kill him, but also result in serious injuries.
"Number 650 wins!" the court attendant promptly announced.
The disciples of the Fa Daoyuan hurriedly fled off the ring, not daring to stay for a moment longer.
On the rostrum, the elder of the Martial Arts Academy said to Jian Laodao: "Lao Jian, there are many talents in your kenda academy this year. Not to mention Qiu Ruohen and Song Duan, just look at Bai Yiyi and Gu Youlan. Take it to a big level.”
The face of the dean of the Fa Dao sank and he said disdainfully: "It's just that they haven't met a top-ranked opponent. Winning a game is no big deal!"
Jian Laodao laughed and said: "Does Pharaoh Dao have confidence in his disciples? Let's see who can make it to the end!"
Jian Laodao was very pleased. Both Bai Yiyi and Gu Youlan were his nieces. The disappearance of their brothers was a big blow to the two girls. He and Jian Wuya taught them carefully and finally entered the top 100 in the last competition.
I thought that the qualifications of the two women had improved greatly during the Nascent Soul period and would not change much in the short term. But who would have thought that following Cheng Ling's trip to the south, their combat power soared after they came back. I heard that they had all raised their sword intent to 50%, which was equivalent to the sword intent level of the elder of the kendo dean.
In the entire Kendo Academy, there are only a hundred people who understand the meaning of the sword. The elder brother is the strongest, having comprehended 70% of the peak, followed by the master of the outer courtyard, who has comprehended 70%, while he himself has only comprehended 60%. It's really an unexpected surprise that the two girls can reach 50% sword power at this age!
He could imagine that with Cheng Ling's talent in swordsmanship, the sword intent he had comprehended must be above 50%, maybe even 60%. At such an age, such a high talent is something that the Kendo Academy has not seen in thousands of years. I kept urging in my heart, why hasn't Cheng Ling come on stage yet?
Perhaps his urging had an effect. As soon as Gu Youlan finished the battle, it was Cheng Ling's turn to appear. He came to the ring lightly, looked at the disciple in front of him, and said calmly: "Please!"
The one he was fighting against was a disciple from the Fa Daoyuan, and he was beating a drum in his heart. The name of a person, the shadow of a tree, Cheng Ling's group in the south became so famous that they even killed more than 20 high-ranking officials of the seven major forces. Among them is the Heavenly Wolf Protector of Agni Cult, which is no joke.
The Heavenly Wolf Protector is famous in the south. The most difficult thing is that he can control the attacks of wolves. Then it's not as simple as one-on-one. He thought he was no match for hundreds of level six top wolf kings. Cheng Ling had the ability to kill the Heavenly Wolf Protector, so he must have killed many wolf kings.
Therefore, as soon as they saw Cheng Ling on stage, the disciples of the Fa Dao Academy were extremely vigilant and quickly deployed three layers of defensive light shields in front of them.
On the rostrum, Jian Laodao laughed heartily, and Pharaoh Dao's face became even more gloomy. What are you doing, you are using so many layers of defensive light shields before the fight begins? Are you a man? Do you have eggs underneath? He wished he could kick the disciple off the ring and get up on his own.
Cheng Ling was also startled, what's going on? When did I have such a domineering attitude? Just by going on stage, the opponent would become crazy defensive. However, no matter how many defensive apertures he had in front of him, it was useless. In his eyes, there were flaws everywhere!
He laughed and asked the disciple: "Are you ready? I'm about to take action!"
The disciple was startled and deployed two more layers of light shields.
Cheng Ling shook his head, smiled bitterly, and struck out with his sword. There was a "crack" sound on the long sword, and a thunder dragon appeared instantly, penetrated the five layers of defensive light shield in front of the disciple, and hit him hard on the chest.
The disciple looked up to the sky and spat out a rain of blood. His whole body bounced high and fell outside the ring!
The whole audience could hear the needle drop. With just one move, he broke through 50% of the defensive aperture and defeated his opponent. What kind of sword move was this? Even the court referee was stunned and forgot to pronounce the verdict for a while.
