After the discussion, everyone went back to their rooms.
Fan Hongtao and Du Danlu also left the courtyard.
Yuan Yao dragged her seemingly extremely tired body up to the second floor, climbed onto the bed, and fell asleep.
"Xiao Yuanzi, what do Miss Mu and the others want from you?" Li Yunqing asked softly when he heard that there was no sound upstairs.
"What? Are you afraid that I will run away with Miss Mu?" Li Yuan smiled lightly.
Li Yunqing pouted, rolled his eyes at Li Yuan, and said softly: "Is there any news about Diao Zhiyuan?"
Li Yuan said "Yes", scratched his head, and said in a deep voice: "We will arrive at Xia Yang City in about three days. I am not going to run away this time, are you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid. As long as you're here, I'm not afraid of anything." Li Yunqing shook his head and his hanging black hair swayed.
"What are your plans next? How are you going to deal with him?"
Li Yuan sighed: "To be honest, I really don't have any ideas right now. I'm betting on Zhu Jingxuan taking action."
"bet?"
"Yes." Li Yuan nodded, "Aoki Palace needs me to arrange for people to refine the Qingxuan Pill, and they will definitely not let anything happen to me.
"I think Zhu Jingxuan only controls the wood-type elemental power, and his cultivation level is not as good as Diao Zhiyuan's, so he may not be a match for that old guy.
"They did not persuade me to leave today. I make a bold guess that there should be a strong man in the Aoki Palace near Xia Yang City who is similar in strength to Zhu Jingxuan."
"Did you and Ling detect it?" Li Yunqing asked.
"No." Li Yuan shook his head and then explained, "When I was in the Qin family before, I learned that Qingmu Palace is more than 40 million miles away from Daxia.
"Mu Yuting is the genius of Qingmu Palace, it is impossible to let her go out to practice alone.
"There are no other disciples of the Qingmu Palace around her, so Zhu Jingxuan is with her.
"This is Jinling Mountain's sphere of influence. There must be certain risks when the geniuses of other forces come here. Although Zhu Jingxuan is strong, he may not be able to protect Mu Yuting by himself.
"Now that Zhu Jingxuan is not following me, we will check again in two days. If there is still a strong man from the Aoki Temple, things will be much easier to handle."
The two discussed Diao Zhiyuan for a long time, but it was still best for Zhu Jingxuan to take action.
………
In the showdown on the second day, Shuxingyuan did not send its main force.
Several Yuan players from Yunjun Academy led by Li Yuan easily won, and continued to be in the first place with a huge advantage of winning four games in a row.
In the second duel, Jingshen Institute vs. Mingze Institute, the former did not put any pressure on the latter, and the five Yuanzhi were sent out of the duel early.
The result of the final showdown between Chenhuayuan and Qiyaoyuan was also expected by everyone.
Knowing that Chenhuayuan was not the opponent, Qiyaoyuan also did not send its main force, so Chenhuayuan easily defeated its opponent.
Qiyao Yuan's strength is considered to be at the upper-middle level among the nine academies, and it can compete with Chen Hua Yuan. This move made Li Yuan wary.
Tomorrow's opponent is Qiyao Yuan, and today Qiyao Yuan's main force is not available, so it is very likely that Qiyao Yuan will bet on Yunjun Yuan.
Therefore, the next match against Qiyaoyuan should not be as easy as the previous opponents.
Back at Yunjun Courtyard, Li Yuan asked Fan Hongtao to inquire about the situation of Qiyao Courtyard, but this time he found no information at all.
Qiyaoyuan won one of the first three games and lost two.
For the strength of Qiyao Academy, this record is somewhat inconsistent, so the duel with Yunjun Academy must be won.
Otherwise, I am afraid that I will not be qualified to enter the next round.
………
The leader's prediction will open tomorrow, so the results of today's three duels will be crucial to the subsequent trend.
Several days have passed since Xia Lin won the championship, and today is the last day of the first half.
Chen Hua, Mingze and Yunjun, the three schools with the highest hopes for winning the championship, all have duels.
Moreover, apart from the Xiuxing Academy, the other three academies, Haoxi and Qiyao, are not bad in strength.
Yunjunyuan, which had won four consecutive victories, was undoubtedly the most popular when it arrived at Xia Lin Yuandao, and it also had the bonus of the halo of the previous two leaders.
Many viewers will not evaluate who is strong or weak, they only look at the results.
Yunjunyuan's first four duels left a deep impression on everyone, and each duel ended in a very short time.
Either the opponent is too weak, or they give up resistance to save their strength for the subsequent duel.
Yunjun Academy's academy Yuanzhe plays in every game, and they don't hold anything back when they go on the court, and they don't give their opponents a chance to breathe.
Except for the first day, when the stone chairs in the main stand were filled with Nirvana powerhouses, there were empty seats on the other days, but today there were no absentees.
Chenhua and Mingze were regarded by Li Yuan as the biggest obstacles on the road to leadership.
Yesterday, their opponents were too weak and gave up resistance, failing to show their strength.
Li Yuan always believed that although the duel between the two houses on the second day was fierce, he felt that neither of them showed their absolute core.
Today's first game, between Xiu Xing Yuan and Chen Hua Yuan, was not interesting. The day before yesterday, we received news that Xiu Xing Yuan had given up resistance.
Therefore, the result of this duel was as predicted, with Chenhuayuan winning easily.
In the second game, Mingzeyuan faced off against Haoxiyuan. In the end, Haoxiyuan came to the end. This result was a bit hard for everyone to accept.
The one with the highest voice for winning the championship has always been Mingzeyuan. Their first three consecutive wins made them proud and complacent.
In the duel with Chenhuayuan, only two of the five Yuan practitioners came on the field, and they obviously did not take Haoxiyuan seriously.
Zuo Yuchen, who was ranked twenty-sixth on the Bihaige Starfish List, single-handedly helped Haoxiyuan win.
Yunjun Academy has always regarded Chenhua Academy and Mingze Academy as the two obstacles to winning the championship, and now it has to add another one, and that is Haoxi Academy led by Zuo Yuchen.
………
Yunjunyuan viewing room.
"Xiao Yuan, didn't you say that Qiyao is also stronger? Is it my turn in today's match?" Yuan Yao looked at Li Yuan with a pleading look.
Qin Chen stood up slowly holding a spear glowing with golden light, looking eager to try. He looked at Li Yuan and said, "We have rested for four games, it's our turn."
Li Yuan did not respond, his expression was slightly condensed, and he was lost in thought.
Their next four matches will not be easy.
Everyone had reservations about their strength before, but now it is considered to be the second half of the competition. If we keep it any longer, the results may be ugly.
The just-concluded showdown between Mingzeyuan and Haoxiyuan is an obvious example.
Mingze Yuan lost to Haoxi Yuan, which was weaker than them. Li Yuandu never expected this result.
The room fell silent.
After a while, Fan Hongtao walked in, and everyone turned their attention to him.
Li Yuan was waiting for news from Fan Hongtao, so he never arranged for a player to play.
Fan Hongtao picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said in a deep voice: "Qiyao Academy is determined to take away a victory from us today.
"The five strongest Yuan Dan realms have reached their peak and are all on the stage."
"The one from the Manshi clan is here too?" Shi Chen asked.
Nodding slightly, Fan Hongtao continued: "Two members from the Bear Clan are also here, as well as Yan Senyan from the Xuanhuo Sect and Duan Fengyi from the Yuzhi Sect.
"It's up to you to decide who will play today."
Fan Hongtao finally looked at Li Yuan.
The five Yuan practitioners from Qiyao Academy all appeared in previous duels.
Shi Xin of the Tianling Manshi Clan comes from the Tianling Sea. He has extremely strong defense and is stronger in attack than the Rock Beast Clan. He controls the elemental power of both metal and earth systems. Yuanbao is a single axe, a middle-grade king weapon.
The only person in Li Yuan's team who can compete head-on with Shi Xin is Shi Chen, and he has to play.
Two orc Yuan Zhe, from Qingmu Palace, are a pair of brothers, the elder brother Xiong Lei and the younger brother Xiong Hong.
Like Shi Xin, the two brothers control the two elements of metal and earth. Yuanbao is a double hammer, a middle-grade king weapon.
Yan Senyan of Xuanhuo Sect controls the two elements of fire and earth. Yuanbao is a chain blade, a middle-grade king weapon.
Duan Fengyi, the last member of Yuzong Sect, controls the two elements of Dark Earth Elemental Power and possesses a low-grade royal sword.
He also has a fourth-grade primary earth monster made from the bloodthirsty sword wolf, a peak-stage third-order demonic beast, with a body length of four feet, a shoulder height of three feet, and a tail that is also about ten feet long. The whole body is covered with dark red hair. There are nine extremely sharp and hard bone spurs on its back.
"Xiao Yuanzi, the time is almost up, let's make arrangements." Li Yunqing said.
"good."
Tapping his fingers on the table, Li Yuan's eyes flashed.
His eyes were sizing up the six Yuanshi selected by Yunjun Academy: "In order to successfully win this duel, our lineup needs to be significantly adjusted compared to the previous games.
"For those who have not played before, it is necessary to show their strength in this game, but it is not all, just enough to deal with Qiyao Academy."
Hearing this, Li Yunqing nodded and said: "As long as we can win this game, it will be five consecutive victories, and there will be no big problem in entering the next round.
"We can rest for two days and prepare fully for the last three duels."
"Why do you have to enter the next round? Can't you win all eight games?" Yuan Yao pouted, clenched his hands into fists, propped up his small cheeks on the table.
Qin Chen strongly agreed with Yuan Yao's point of view: "Yuan Yao is right, Mingze Academy lost to Haoxi Academy in the last game, and they lost the chance to win the first round.
"Chen Hua lost to Mingze before and is not qualified. Now among the nine colleges, we are the only ones with a chance to win the first round."
Isn’t it nice to win the first round in the first round?
Draw to an end, the result that all Yuan people yearn for.
Winning the first round in the first round has only happened once in the history of Xia Lin winning the championship. It was the last time Yunjun Academy led by Tang Xinyue won eight games in a row and won the first place.
"It's too early to say this now. The time for the duel is coming. Xiao Yuanzi, how are you going to arrange this?" Li Yunqing's green jade fingers passed through the green hair hanging on the snow neck, and gently stroked it. asked in a voice.
Li Yuan touched his chin with his hand and said in a deep voice: "The opponent has made full preparations and studied us carefully, so the lineup for the first four games cannot be used.
"We have three main players in this game. Shi Chen and I continue to play. Shi Xin from Qiyao Academy is not weak, and only Shi Chen can suppress it.
"Duan Fengyi from Yuzhao Sect is capable of both offense and defense, and he has the assistance of Dizhao, so he will be left to me.
"Brothers Xiong Lei and Xiong Hong have extremely strong defense, but are weaker in speed and flexibility.
"We will use speed and attack to defeat them. Qin Chen, Meng Xingyu, they will be left to you two."
"Okay, no problem." Qin Chen and Meng Xingyu stood up and responded.
Li Yuandao: "You have to pay attention. When they came on stage, they used Golden Smoke Break, which is a fourth-level elemental technique. This technique comes from Qingmu Palace.
"They also have a bloodline-inherited Yuanjutsu, Unyielding Body. Whether they practice other Yuanjutsu has not been used in the previous games, so it is unclear.
“Orcs are different from Heavenly Spirits, they are more human-oriented, and they don’t have the transformation of the Heavenly Spirit’s beast body.
“Therefore, there may be Yuan Shu that has not yet been used, which should be their trump card, so be vigilant.
"As for Yan Senyan of the Xuanhuo Sect, Mo Xu is in charge. Yan Senyan controls the elemental power of the fire and earth elements. And you are of the water and earth elements, so you have no disadvantages.
"Although your cultivation is a bit inferior, you are an orc and your defense is stronger than him. At the same time, I will assist you."
"Yeah." Mo Xu nodded.
Fan Hongtao nodded after listening to Li Yuan's words: "This arrangement is just right and targeted. While strengthening the strength in the previous games, the main force was not completely exposed."
"Is this safe?" Yuan Yao asked with a frown. She still didn't get to play in the fifth game.
"We have three main players, but we still can't defeat Qiyaoyuan. How can Chen Hua and Mingze fight in the future? We won't be able to win the first round." Li Yuan said helplessly.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. After getting permission, the other party pushed the door open and entered.
It's still the same gray-robed man from before. This person should be responsible for the reception of Yunjun Courtyard.
After a few brief exchanges, Li Yuan and his party headed to the waiting room, led by the men in gray robes and the guards.
………
Xia Lin won the championship and the third match on the sixth day was about to begin.
The champions of the two houses entered the preparation platform for the duel.
In this scene, Yunjun Courtyard is still in the south, and the entire platform glows with blue light.
The northern platform where Qiyao Yuan is located is surrounded by a purple halo.
Main stand.
The three deans of the academy were still sitting in the center. Seeing the Yuan Yuans of Yunjun Academy, they knew that Yunjun Academy attached great importance to this duel.
Qin Chen is a true academy student. From the day he entered the Taxu Realm, he entered the outer courtyard of Xia Lin Academy.
At the age of twenty-six, he entered the late stage of Taxu Realm and was promoted to the Middle Court.
Shortly thereafter, Qin Tian took him out for training.
Yunjun Yuan won the title for the first time, which made Qin Tian's blood boil. He waited for several years until Qin Chen entered the middle courtyard.
The brothers practiced abroad for ten years. When they returned to Xia Yang City, Qin Tian was already forty-six years old and in the middle stage of the Yuan Dan realm, unable to enter the inner courtyard.
Qin Chen was thirty-six years old, at the peak of the middle Yuan Dan realm, and was successfully promoted to the Yunjun Academy in the inner courtyard.
Mei Xuan and Qin Yongtian are still sitting next to each other. They are so close, and Li Yuan can be regarded as a bridge between the two forces.
On the other side of Qin Yongtian is Jin Xuhong, the president of Jinteng Chamber of Commerce.
Qiyao Yuan is supported by the Wanmeng Chamber of Commerce and the Jinteng Chamber of Commerce, with Jin Teng taking the lead.
"President Jin, in this match, do you think Qiyao Academy or Yunjun Academy will win?" Mei Xuan's eyes jumped over Qin Yongtian and landed on Jin Xuhong.
Jin Xuhong smiled slightly and responded: "What? President Mei wants to gamble again? I didn't know that President Mei had this hobby before.
"I heard that President Mei won three thousand top-quality yuan stones from that old ghost Qian Penghai on the first day, which made him feel distressed for several days."
"Are you scared?" Mei Xuan said with a smile.
"I'm just afraid. Now I'm sitting next to the leader of the Qin family." Jin Xuhong was able to bend and stretch, and was much larger than Qian Penghai.
Mei Xuan was still unforgiving: "Aren't you here just to support Qiyao Academy? How about supporting Yunjun Academy?"
Jin Xuhong waved his hand and said: "Forget it, the grandsons of the Qin family are all here, and there are four consecutive victories ahead, and the morale is strong.
"I'm afraid that the leader of this year will fall into the Yunjun Court again. Qin Family Master, Yunjun Court has won twice in a row, can we let other houses win it once?"
After speaking, he looked at Qin Yongtian, waiting for the latter's response.
Qin Yongtian said calmly: "You are the one behind Chenhuayuan and Qiyaoyuan. Yunjunyuan will fight Qiyaoyuan today, and Chenhuayuan next time. The initiative is in your hands.
"You have also seen that Yunjun Academy has not absorbed any of the eight disciples."
Jin Xuhong said helplessly: "It seems that the Qin family leader wants Sanlianzhuang. I should give up early this time. It really hurts now."
This time, the Jinteng Chamber of Commerce spent a lot of money to attract eight disciples from Chenhuayuan and Qiyaoyuan, especially Chenhuayuan.
