The scene was quiet, breathing could be heard, and suddenly there was a "clang", and the judge's pen released by Wang Jing lost the control of his spiritual consciousness and fell to the ground.
Only then did everyone realize that the fight was over.
"It's too fast, it's not even seven breaths away!"
"Did you see the red light on the sword? That's the sword energy on the flying sword. It's more than five feet long!"
"The power of the flying sword is truly worthy of its reputation. The aura shield only blocked three swords before it cracked."
"Yes, if there is no magic circle to protect the body, Wang Jing's head may have to move..."
Zhao Lin stood blankly on the sidelines, not because he was surprised by the sword cultivator's methods, but because a line of words appeared in the fifth grid of the spiritual cultivation map in his mind.
The formation of wood and earth!
He had been paying attention to the fighting skills before and had not paid attention to the spiritual cultivation chart. Only then did he notice this change.
The magic circle... can also be captured?
Zhao Lin took a breath and then became overjoyed.
The magic circle is also a spell. As long as the magic power fluctuation is sensed, the spiritual chart can also capture the magic circle.
It makes sense in principle, but this was not mentioned in the memory conveyed by the original spiritual cultivation chart.
Zhao Lin soon felt relieved. There was a similar situation in the spirit beast map before. He only had the most basic rules of use in his memory, and he needed to explore many things by himself.
"So, spiritual cultivation diagrams can also be used to learn magic circles."
"If this is the case, the plan may have to change. The nine grids will leave at least one or two grids for the magic circle."
"I just don't know how much spiritual stones will be spent..."
Whether it has a powerful magic circle represents the foundation of a sect. Sects that have been inherited for more than ten thousand years all have powerful offensive and defensive magic circles.
And some newly rising sects may have as many high-level monks as the old sects.
But without a powerful magic circle to suppress it, it is ultimately a rootless duckweed. As long as it encounters a major change, the sect is likely to fall into ashes.
In this case, there is no need to worry about which Taoist art to choose in the second year, just choose the formation!
Zhao Lin had some concerns and returned his attention to the court.
In the third battle, Yue Shengluan faced off against Wei Shi.
Yue Shengluan and Zhao Lin came from the Lingdao Academy in the same state. After practicing Taoism for three years, they have reached the fifth level of Qi Refining. They have mastered several minor-level spells and are outstanding among the many disciples of the Lingdao Academy.
Wei Shi is the physical practitioner from Xiniuzhou. He looks harmless when sitting off the court, but when he walks onto the court with his head held high, his energy and spirit change instantly.
Like a mountain, it gives people a strong sense of oppression.
"one two three!"
Perhaps he learned the lessons from the previous two games, Yue Shengluan attacked with all his strength from the beginning, first sending out a golden magic spell called Flying Scythe.
Ten flying blades like hooks and sickles shot out at the same time, and in different directions, traveling through the air.
Then he released a thorn technique, and countless thorns covered with sharp hooks sprouted from the ground, like wild snakes dancing around Wei Shi.
Finally, he used the vine whip technique.
The three spells were executed from far to near, one after another. It was obviously a well-planned tactic.
However, these still failed to stop Wei Shi.
Wei Shi's attack didn't have many tricks. He jumped up to avoid the flying blades in the air. After landing, he punched and kicked to smash the thorns in front of him.
Even though he was hit by several spells, he didn't even frown and continued to run around without any scruples.
Zhao Lin was secretly surprised. Yue Shengluan's attainments in the two spells of gold and wood were only minor. If he didn't use the body protection technique, he wouldn't dare to resist.
Although Wei Shi's clothes were torn and had holes everywhere, his exposed skin did not have any scratches. As expected, he lived up to his reputation of strong skin and thick flesh.
Seeing that his opponent was about to get closer, Yue Shengluan gritted his teeth, gathered his Mu Xing spiritual energy, and pulled out a vine whip out of thin air with his hand.
Snapped!
The vine whip swung its tail like a swimming dragon and whipped towards Wei Shi fiercely.
Wei Shi raised his arm to block it, and green light wrapped around his arm, like a layer of armor.
The vine whip was whipped on it, but it was unable to penetrate it, but it also stopped Wei Shi's footsteps.
Bang bang bang!
As Yue Shengluan retreated, he whipped three times in a row.
"open!"
Wei Shi shouted loudly, shook his arm hard, and the vine whip suddenly exploded, turning into countless wood elements and floating away.
Seeing this situation, everyone watching the battle knew that there was no suspense in this battle.
Once the Dharma cultivator allows martial arts cultivators and physical cultivators to get close to him, no matter how many spells and methods he uses, they can't block the opponent's punch.
Wei Shi did not disappoint everyone. He raised his hand and punched.
The Wood and Earth Formation Formation sensed the murderous intention and directly moved Yue Shengluan to the sidelines.
The fight ended and the scene fell into silence again.
Of the three competitions, this one took the longest, but was the most shocking.
Wei Shi was not afraid of magic at all and rushed forward despite the flying blades and thorns. This made many young disciples present frown and remain speechless for a long time.
What should I do if I encounter physical training?
"How to fight like this, the physical defense is too strong!"
"Oh, it gives me a headache just looking at it."
"The spell is completely useless..."
However, an older monk soon explained: "How can the spells be useless? As long as you master the spells, you won't be able to resist with physical training."
"Yes, the same is true if there is a magic weapon with strong destructive power."
"As Dharma cultivators, we don't need to belittle ourselves. Whether it's physical cultivation or martial arts cultivation, you can see them again in ten or twenty years..."
Having said that, after the first round, the three eliminated were all law cultivators, leaving one martial arts cultivator, one body cultivator, and one sword cultivator.
Although it was anticipated in advance, this result still made many people feel awkward.
Is this still a fight? Forget it, change it to a martial arts tournament.
The elder in charge of arbitration called Zhao Lin, Fang Qinglu, and Wei Shi to come back on stage, and drew lots to determine the order of the match.
Three bamboo sticks, two short and one long.
Zhao Lin won the long-term lottery and was the first to appear according to the rules and could choose his opponent.
"I choose Wei Shi!"
Zhao Lin thought for a while and said.
Hearing this, Wei Shi stood expressionless and stood still, while Fang Qinglu walked to the sidelines to watch the battle.
"Brother Wei, how many years have you been practicing Taoism? Why did you choose physical cultivation?"
There was a short interval between the two rounds of fighting, and Wei Shi had just finished the competition, so he could rest for a while, so Zhao Lin casually chatted with him.
Wei Shi didn't hide anything, and said bluntly: "I have been cultivating Taoism for three years, and my spiritual root is of low grade. I haven't opened a spiritual orifice for a month, so I simply changed to cultivating the body. I didn't expect that the improvement will be much faster."
"Sure enough, if the tree is moved, it will die, but if the person is moved, it will live."
Zhao Lin nodded, thinking that he hadn't opened a spiritual aperture in a month. As a legal practitioner, his qualifications were not bad.
After three years of physical training, he has reached the fourth level of body tempering. As a physical practitioner, his qualifications are not bad.
If I were born in this world, I might choose to be a body practitioner.
But now that I have become a martial artist, I can only continue on this path.
After practicing Taoism for a year, he has tempered the vitality in his body into spiritual energy, and his martial arts strength is at an all-time high and he has taken another step forward.
Dong Lingcheng said before that physical cultivation overcomes martial cultivation. This may not be accurate, but it at least shows one thing: martial cultivation does not have an advantage on paper when it comes to physical cultivation.
Let's see who is stronger!
Returned from visiting relatives and started updating normally.
