The second round of competition lasted for an hour, and the number of people was eliminated by half, leaving only 2,301 people.
In just two hours, nearly 6,000 of the more than 8,000 foundation-building demons were screened out. Zhang Liang couldn't help but feel that at this speed, the gathering of 100 demons might not even take a month.
I don't know if Beibei Sea Territory will have time to send resources over. It's really not possible. I'll wait a little longer after I get the second-level fighting method. Anyway, as long as he can sneak away before heading to the Ten Thousand Demons Mansion.
…
After a while, the great warden accepted the hosting duties of the Hundred Demons Festival, but no one felt there was anything wrong with it.
After all, he is the demon-suppressing envoy of the Ten Thousand Demons Mansion. How can he stand here and preside over the game all the time? The first two matches are very short, so we can just stand here. The subsequent matches are obviously longer, so how can we just stand here all the time?
Just listen to the big guard's announcement: "The third round of this hundred demon event is a survival match. All the players who are still on the field will be randomly selected into a group of 100 people. Hundreds of people compete in the same field, no matter how they fight, as long as they don't use With special assistance or a large formation, being able to reach the 50th place in the group will be regarded as a victory in the survival match. I would like to remind you that if you feel that your strength is not enough, you can withdraw early in every round from the third round onwards. Race.”
"A hundred-man competition? It's interesting."
The third round of personnel selection took about half an hour.
However, one arena can only accommodate one group of 100 people for a survival match. So this third round will take 23 rounds to end.
This cannot be completed in a day or two. Zhang Liang did a rough calculation and found that if he played three or four games a day, it would take seven or eight days.
After all, it is a competition of 100 people, and the winner may not be determined so quickly.
Soon, the chief guard read out the order of the competition. I wonder if it was because Zhang Liang came out early in the second round, so he was only ranked in the second group.
In other words, if nothing else happens, he will be able to finish the competition either today or tomorrow.
However, the big guard soon announced that he would give everyone some time to rest, so the third round of survival competition would have to wait until the next day.
Zhang Liang was so happy that he went back to the restaurant to study the first-order fighting method.
the next day.
Zhang Liang bought a large jar of demon blood in a restaurant but arrived late.
At this moment, the first group of matches on the field had started for almost two hours, and there were only 58 people left.
In the stands, there were endless shouts. Zhang Liang sat alone in the stands, drinking demon blood.
In the field, there was a spider crab monster. Because it was seriously injured, many people worked together to cut off many of its legs and feet and cut it into pieces. However, this made the Siren in the stands extremely excited.
"Oh, it's still a sea monster after all! With so much respect for blood and violence, no wonder none of them are afraid of death. If the human race had the lifespan of a sea monster, I don't know how many great golden elixir monsters would be produced."
After about a stick of incense, some people were seriously injured and retired from the competition, and some were killed on the spot. When there were only 50 people left in the field, the first group of 100 people competed, it was over.
Zhang Liang immediately put the demon blood jar into the storage box and walked towards the arena amidst the cheers of countless spectators.
However, this time, everyone in the hundred-person group looked a little worried.
Because they were a little frightened when they saw Zhang Liang wearing a shark mask and carrying a bloody demon sword. This guy killed two great foundation-building monsters with one sword stroke yesterday, and he was very satisfied.
If this fight goes crazy, who can stop him?
In particular, Zhang Liang looked around at this moment and found that there was no one he knew. He thought to himself, since he is present, let this game progress faster!
However, as soon as Zhang Liang came on stage, a snake spirit and two spirit mothers jumped out from beside him.
"Brother Blood Shark, um, we have something to discuss with you."
"oh?"
Zhang Liang is not disgusted with the spirit mother, but he has no good impression of the snake spirit.
Only one spirit mother said: "Brother Blood Shark, we had a conversation with the other people in this group yesterday, and we thought that there must be a share of Brother Blood Shark among the top fifty places. Otherwise, Brother Blood Shark wouldn't Did you hit him?"
Zhang Liang was about to refuse, but he saw the spirit mother suddenly took out a puddle of demon blood and said: "Brother Blood Shark, this is the second-level high-grade demon blood that we collected money to buy for you. By the way, there is also a second-level high-grade demon elixir in it. If the blood If Brother Shark doesn't mind, can you watch the show and drink the blood and stop taking action?"
"Uh~"
Zhang Liang raised his eyebrows, is there such a good thing? There is no need to play a game, and there are still people giving away demon blood and demon pills. The key is to get them at the second level.
But he thought for a moment, well, if so many people pooled their money together, they were all great foundation-building demons, and they could still afford the mere second-level high-grade demon elixir and demon blood. Perhaps even, on average, each person only needs twenty or thirty first-grade high-grade demon pills.
Since there is such a good thing, why wouldn't Zhang Liang do it?
It’s all promotion anyway, so how come promotion is not promotion?
"Okay! I agree."
"Really? Brother Blood Shark, I'll give you the demon blood."
Immediately, the spirit mother stuffed the big jar into Zhang Liang like rubbish, fearing that Zhang Liang would regret it a second later.
The other contestants were all looking over at this moment. Seeing Zhang Liang accept the jar, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly their faces lit up and they felt like they could fight again.
On the other hand, the audience in the stands looked puzzled. What is this? If it's not a life-and-death fight, why are you giving away things?
However, after a while, Zhang Liang found a good rock and sat on it. When the chief guard announced the start of the second round of the hundred-man competition, all the other sea monsters were killed in a group, but no one came to Zhang Liang's side.
Zhang Liang, on the other hand, did not take action. Instead, he held a big jar and started sucking it away.
Countless people in the stands were dumbfounded.
"Is this still possible?"
"That seems to be demon blood."
"Ah, can you bribe the players like this?"
"I'm still waiting to see the Masked Sword King killing everyone."
"You want to see it, but do you think the contestants want to see it?"
Even the great guard and others on the high platform were a little speechless, but they were relieved immediately. The siren who could come up with such an idea was considered to be extremely clever.
Another person said: "Smart approach. If this is the case, I don't know if anyone will do it in the fourth round."
Someone replied: "I don't think so. Doing this in the third round is to prevent the blood shark from killing people. And they still have a half chance of advancing. But in the next round, ten people will fight freely, and only one will win. Famous people, so this law will definitely not work.”
"Right."
During the field, Zhang Liangzhen started eating and drinking, drinking and watching at the same time. He was surrounded by people watching the game. Isn’t this VIP level 10 treatment?
By the time Zhang Liang had finished drinking, the competition was almost over. Seven people died in this game, and most of them had time to retire at midfield.
After inexplicably winning a match, Zhang Liang lost interest in watching the battle in the stands. Instead, he returned to the restaurant and began to study the method of controlling demonic energy for several days.
If you want to fully master the secret of water explosion in the first-level fighting method, you must learn and improve your control over the demonic energy.
Moreover, this is not only useful for water explosion secrets. If the control of demonic energy is improved, it means that Zhang Liang's control of spiritual energy will also be improved, and then he will be more comfortable in performing magical techniques.
However, the more he studied, the more surprised Zhang Liang was. He found that it was quite difficult to control this demonic energy, and the speed of improvement could be described as slow.
"No wonder, no wonder this level of fighting method is difficult to learn. Even the Water Explosion Secret Technique that is most compatible with me is so difficult to practice. The other few are only more difficult than this."
Zhang Liang thought for a while, in the sea monster world, who should he discuss the method of controlling spiritual energy with? Outsiders are naturally undesirable, and black fish wise men may not be much better than themselves.
As for the three guys in the mysterious space of the World Divine Mirror, it is not convenient for me to find them now. After all, he is now in the Hundred Demons Gathering, and his personality is relatively high-profile. There may be a late-stage Foundation Establishment demon investigating him at any time. If he disappears suddenly, it will be difficult to explain once he is discovered.
"That's all, let's do this for now. Let's go through the Hundred Demons Festival first. Then we will go to Jade Pen Peak. There are many books there, and maybe there will be a good method."
Six days later.
The third round of survival competition is over, and a total of 1,004 people have advanced to the fourth round. The reason why there are such a number of people is because in the third round of the survival competition, although some people successfully entered the top 50 in the competition, they suffered heavy losses.
Under such circumstances, rashly participating in the fourth round is basically courting death.
It's okay that Zhang Liang doesn't know about the Hundred Demons Festival, but most of the sea monsters still understand it.
After this survival match, there is a free battle. Each group of ten people will fight freely in the entire arena, and the strongest player will eventually win and advance to the fifth round.
This round is the most difficult round. This is the round that determines the real strong player. It is even more difficult than the fifth, sixth and final seventh round.
After all, this can almost be regarded as a battle between one against nine.
Zhang Lianglai drew a lot and was ranked in group 32.
Zhang Liang went to watch it three days later and found that in the 21st group, the co-authors could only play an average of six or seven games a day.
So, Zhang Liang went directly to the Demon Fighting Arena on the fifth day.
On this day, Zhang Liang came early in the morning. About half a day later, the battle of Group 31 started. Zhang Liang actually saw an acquaintance. Isn't this Bei Xuanling?
If he remembered correctly, Bei Xuanling seemed to have been seriously injured in a fierce battle with the Blue-backed Sky Ray Clan before entering the Hundred Demons Gathering.
He still remembered that move at that time. It seemed to be some kind of fairy technique, and it was quite good. Zhang Liang estimated that he could only resolve that move with a sword.
At this moment, Bei Xuanling stood in the field and naturally became the common target of the other nine people.
After all, Bei Xuanling is the only outwardly perfect shapeshifter in this huge demon fighting arena, and no one dares to underestimate him.
In fact, as soon as the game started, the other nine people directly formed an alliance, and one of them used all his strength to attack Bei Xuanling. Bei Xuanling was very unlucky. He encountered three little mushroom men at once, and several poisonous lights shot directly towards Bei Xuanling.
However, Bei Xuanling did have some tricks up his sleeve. A white shell suddenly appeared under him. As Bai Bei's big mouth opened and closed, Bei Xuanling had actually changed into a set of colorful clothes and came out.
With a wave of Bei Xuanlingsu's hand, a large piece of something similar to flash powder was swayed out, and it easily defused the poisonous light that came from it.
Immediately, Bei Xuanling turned over his hand and took out a white jade long bow.
"Boohoo!"
It was a series of nine stars and spiritual arrows. Three people were pierced on the spot, and it seemed that they could not resist at all.
"Poison spreads across the prairie fire."
I saw three little mushroom men taking a breath from three directions and different angles. Then Bei Xuanling spurted out, and the sea water turned into colorful colors at a speed visible to the naked eye.
These little mushroom people are not big in size, but they can run away and release poison.
"Arrow spirits take lives."
Bei Xuanling didn't panic and fired three tracking spirit arrows at once.
When the three little mushroom men saw that there were spiritual arrows chasing them, they immediately ran like crazy, shuttling through the complex terrain at extremely high speeds.
But Bei Xuanling ignored them and saw her body spinning in the air, a large amount of glitter powder scattered on her clothes. All the highly toxic sea water dissipated directly after facing the glitter powder. Zhang Liang couldn't help but be curious. What the hell is that glitter?
The other three people were two snake spirits and a spider crab monster.
The strength of the three of them is not weak, especially the spider crab demon. It is obvious that he is using a combination of first-level fighting skills and has achieved some success.
Of the two snake spirits, one cooperates with the main body to attack, and the other is good at laying traps to ambush Bei Xuanling.
"The magic of immortality, the invincible hand of Lingbei."
As if he had made some important decision, Bei Xuanling let out a sweet shout and quickly rushed towards the spider crab demon.
When the spider crab monster saw this, it immediately transformed into its true form, with sharp claws like thorns, and struck one after another with great power.
However, Bei Xuanling's hands suddenly became as strong as black iron, and he slapped the spider and crab demon's spider several times in succession.
After several times, Bei Xuanling went straight to the two snake demons and ignored the spider and crab demons. The latter wanted to fight back, but when they heard "bang bang bang" explosions one after another, they saw all eight of the spider crab monster's spider legs explode.
"It's interesting, fairy magic, what kind of magic is that?"
Zhang Liang looked at the battlefield, thoughtfully. He found that Bei Xuanling had a very serious shortcoming, that is, he was soft-hearted. He could clearly kill the enemy directly many times, but in the end he had to do it.
But she ignored that others used their strongest killing techniques to deal with him.
A moment later, both snake spirits were crushed to death by Bei Xuanling, but she still did not kill them.
Until, two of the three little mushroom men in the field were defeated, and the only remaining little mushroom man begged for mercy from Bei Xuanling.
"You win, why not if you win?"
Bei Xuanling let go of his relaxation, and then turned pale and waved happily in the direction of Beina in the stands.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Liang immediately covered his face. Is he mentally retarded? Is the enemy still in front of you?
Sure enough, at the next moment, a poisonous needle shot out from the mouth of the little mushroom man and stabbed accurately into Bei Xuanling's armpit.
The little mushroom man kicked his legs, turned and ran, running extremely fast. By the time Bei Xuanling realized something was wrong, his whole body was already glowing green.
Beina was horrified when she saw this, and quickly helped Bei Xuanling to stop and admit defeat.
It wasn't until Bei Xuanling gave up that the little mushroom ran back under Beina's gaze, threw out a little mushroom and said, "Just eat it."
Bei Xuanling was a little angry: "You clearly said you gave up."
The little mushroom man's face was full of questions: "Who gives up? I just said you won, but it doesn't mean I gave up."
Bei Xuanling: "..."
Even though Beina dotes on Bei Xuanling, she can't help but say: "Xuanling, on the battlefield, there is intrigue and deception. Never believe anything the enemy says. This is a taboo."
"oh!"
At this moment, Bei Xuanling left the field with the support of Beina, while Zhang Liang came on the stage carrying his bloody demon sword. The two sides passed each other halfway.
Bei Xuanling was speechless. He was just about to win, but he lost.
Now, why did you happen to meet this guy again?
"idiot!"
When passing by Bai Xuanling, Zhang Liang said something casually, which made Bai Xuanling's face turn red with anger.
On the field.
Zhang Liang came to the field, and the other few people didn't even need to cover up and stood together directly.
Good guy, it's obviously a fight between ten people. It's supposed to be you hitting me, and I hitting him, and he's hitting the other person, but now they have become the same enemy.
Just listen to Zhang Liang say: "Give you a chance, it's still too late to withdraw from the competition."
"Blood Shark, don't be so arrogant. We know how powerful you are. But no matter how powerful you are, I don't believe you can fight ten of them."
"It's nine, idiot."
"Nine, nine is a lot."
The person speaking was a hermit crab demon, which was somewhat similar to what happened to Zhang Liang and Bei Xuanling. Bei Xuanling encountered three little mushroom men at once, while Zhang Liang encountered three hermit crab monsters at once. They all held up large snail shells and felt hard.
In addition to these three hermit crab monsters, there is also a mantis shrimp monster, two spider crab monsters, a small mushroom man, an anemone banshee, and a blue-backed stingray.
It's quite complex, but the attack methods of these people are different, especially the sea anemone banshee. As soon as she comes on the stage, she directly transforms into a huge sea anemone bush and blooms thousands of tentacles.
The two spider crab monsters immediately started to set up their webs. They did not dare to confront Zhang Liang head-on. Even if they were hit by the fourth level of body refining, they might not be able to break through the defense. However, they were not alone.
Needless to say, the little mushroom man started to inhale as soon as he came on the field. He straightened his body up and waited for the game to officially start. After giving the order, he started to take anti-virus measures.
In the stands.
Someone lamented: "Finally I can see this shark head take action, I don't know if he can withstand it."
A mantis shrimp demon said: "Does it have anything to do with you if you can't stand it? Who knows where this person came from, a first-level casual cultivator? Is it because we, the sea monster of the Hundred Demons Collection, can't tell, so it would be better to kill him." "
Someone sneered: "You'll kill me if you say you'll kill me? How can you be so capable?"
In the stands high up, the chief guard saw that everyone's emotions had reached their peak, so he ordered: "The game begins."
"咻咻咻~"
The first one to strike was the blue-backed stingray, with three poisonous stings, bearing the brunt of the attack, which was swift and fierce.
The little mushroom man followed closely, spraying out a large amount of poisonous mist from a long distance away, and there were dozens of sharp thorns in the poisonous mist.
"snort!"
"Bang~"
The three hermit crab monsters were still preparing to take action. However, the moment they took action, Zhang Liang shot out like a cannonball. Their target was the blue-backed stingray.
"I~"
That blue-backed stingray was horrified when it saw this. Why did it come after you first? If you don’t look for so many people, why are you targeting me?
However, he didn't have much time to think, because Zhang Liang was too fast, and his whole body was spinning forward on the sea floor, like a top. This speed was not to mention the early stage of foundation building, and most of the mid-stage foundation building were probably not as fast as him.
However, what they don't know is that the Black Fish Club is not good at anything, but their innate ability, the violent secret technique, is really strong, and their instantaneous explosive power is far beyond that of ordinary sea monsters.
In addition, Zhang Liang activated the Whale Swimming Technique, and the spider crab monster laid out a web formation, which was instantly broken through like paper. The blue-backed ray fired out three tail spines, and they were already blown away in just one strike.
Zhang Liang was like a phantom, one moment he was in the same place, the next moment he was already close. The blue-backed stingray immediately retreated, but Zhang Liang didn't care whether he retreated or not, because the opponent was already within the attack range.
The blood-colored demonic sword was lifted up, its light bloomed, and there were even lightning arcs flashing on it.
"Pfft~"
The blue-backed stingray was still jumping back, but in the eyes of the spectators in the stands, his body had been separated.
"Hiss~"
"wild."
"So fast."
"This is the early stage of foundation building, why is this blood shark so fast?"
"If we meet one another, a great foundation-building demon will die. This guy is simply a murderer!"
While the audience in the stands exclaimed, the contestants on the field had no time to think too much. Especially those two spider and crab monsters, they turned into their real bodies and started running like crazy. Who the hell are they? My resilient spider web is of no use at all!
However, little did they know that Zhang Liang had been playing with fishing nets since he first came here. After playing for so many years, he already knew how to break this kind of net formation.
Under the superposition of the violent secret technique and the overlord's strength, Zhang Liang was instantly close to a person. The spider crab demon was horrified and quickly blocked it with its spider claws.
"Kakaka~"
However, in an instant, seven vertical slashes were struck in succession, almost cutting off a tentacle with one strike. After the seventh strike, the spider crab monster immediately turned into two pieces.
Every time Zhang Liang slashed, the pupils of countless people in the stands shrank.
In the Siren Mantis camp, Tang Chuan's eyelids were twitching. Could he slash so many swords in an instant? He can't. He can cut out a sword nearly twice as fast as Zhang Liang in an instant, but that's an innate ability. But his natural ability only allowed him to make one slash, not even a second one.
Therefore, Tang Chuan knew that Zhang Liang was really quick with his sword. Moreover, the power of each knife is so exaggerated that it can directly cut off the claws of the spider crab demon in the early stage of foundation establishment. This matter is really not that simple. People only rely on their claws to survive. How can they be so fragile?
Over at Beibei Sea Area, next to Bei Xuanling, the man who was very hostile to Zhang Liang also opened his mouth slightly at this moment. Can these seven cuts break his shell?
Although he didn't want to admit it, it seemed that he could really do it, because Zhang Liang himself was at the fourth level of body refining, with extremely powerful strength, and he could cut seven swords in a row. He thought that even if he was in the middle stage of foundation building, he couldn't stop him.
Although Bei Xuanling was also shocked, he still saw something different. He just heard her say: "His sword seems to be good, and it is definitely not an ordinary monster weapon."
Beside Bei Xuanling, Beina said: "It's not bad, but the quality of the demon weapon depends on the person who uses it. Even if this person uses an ordinary demon weapon, the combat power is very terrifying."
No, after killing one spider crab demon, another spider crab demon happened to run up to the hermit crab demon and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The three hermit crab monsters also cooperated very well. The three of them got into the big shell together and rotated towards Zhang Liang.
Moreover, at this time, the mantis shrimp demon also broke out the special skill of the siren mantis, Mantis Slash.
"Dang~"
Zhang Liang was indeed unable to be faster than them when it came to the Mantis Shrimp Demon's attack, but this did not mean that he could not block it.
I saw Zhang Liang holding a sword with one hand, lying horizontally on his side. With a "clang" sound, the sickle was blocked, and a burst of sparks splashed in the sea water.
"Zongheng~"
At the same time that Zhang Liang blocked the blow, the blood-colored demon sword bent slightly, preventing the sea monster mantis from retracting its claws. The blood-colored demon sword suddenly pressed down, and terrifying power poured out.
"Kaka~"
The spectators saw that the pair of mantis claws broke at the same time.
Moreover, with an instant slash of the bloody demonic sword, the mantis head flew up.
"Hiss~"
"Is this okay?"
"What kind of sword skill is this?"
"Ah, he can resist the mantis claw head-on and cut it off with his backhand. Is this guy really in the early stage of foundation building?"
(End of chapter)
