The second quasi-magic weapon that Gong Xiao sacrificed was a short sword. This sword was incredibly fast and could produce thousands of sword energies, making it difficult for people to guard against it.
As soon as the second quasi-magic weapon came out, Nan Tianlong could no longer support himself with Taoism alone. He was forced to keep retreating, looking quite embarrassed.
Gong Xi Ao fought and charged fiercely, feeling extremely proud.
However, just when he thought that the other party could not support it and was about to lose, a smile suddenly appeared on Nan Tianlong's face, and a small bell suddenly appeared in his hand!
The small bell instantly enlarged, and then three huge fire dragons spurted out in succession, all reddish-brown in color. As soon as they came out, they shook their heads and tails, bared their teeth and claws, and the roar of the dragons resounded throughout the square.
The three giant fire dragons opened their mouths and spit out pieces of brown flames, wiping out the sword energy that was overwhelming the sky one by one.
Nan Tianlong is worthy of being a master of playing with fire. Not only is his fire Taoism superb, but so is his quasi-magic weapon.
The power of the quasi-magical weapon was far beyond that of the best magical weapons. For a time, the sky above the competition square was filled with sword energy, and a heat wave spread to the sky, affecting hundreds of feet in radius, turning the entire square into a sea of swords and fire.
All the disciples hurriedly retreated. Some of the slower ones were almost affected by the residual power of the quasi-magic weapon, and were left in a state of confusion for a while.
The elders and deacons of each church had to take action to protect each other.
In fact, the two of them had already violated the rules. They were not allowed to leave the dotted line during the official competition, let alone leave the competition stage.
Li Fengyun frowned when he saw the two fighting in the air, and turned around and said: "Master, if we don't limit the scope, they will leave the competition square!"
"The matter is over, let them go. Besides..." Lan Kuotian stroked his long beard and said.
"Oh, they are about to decide the winner!" Li Fengyun understood, and after watching attentively again, he nodded lightly.
"Haha, within three moves, there will be results." Lan Kuotian said with a smile.
Zhou Yang had already stepped back several hundred feet at this time, but still looked up and stared at the two of them closely.
Before the change, it was difficult to see the true forms of both sides of the battle without focusing their eyes.
After breaking through to the peak of Lingtai, this matter is no longer a problem. Not only did he see it very clearly, but he could also clearly see the way the two men took action. Even the formation runes on the surfaces of the two quasi-magical weapons were clearly visible.
After a few breaths, a large piece of brown flame roared and surrounded Gong Xi'ao. He used his flying sword to dodge, but his robe still caught fire instantly. It took a lot of fussing to put out the flames.
Li Fengyun glanced at Lan Kuotian, who nodded slightly.
"Stop! In this competition, Nan Tianlong, the guardian on the left side of the Dharma Protector Hall, wins!" Li Fengyun shouted to the two people in the air.
Everyone was shocked, and they all felt that some kind of secret technique was obviously used in this shout. The sound seemed to have a kind of magic power, which shocked the two people in the air and had to stop their movements immediately.
Although Gong Xi'ao was unwilling to do so, he did not dare to disobey the great elder's order.
"Haha, the strength of the two is about the same. It's just that Protector Nan's flames are slightly better. Protector Nan and Chief Deacon Gongxi, you two quickly come on stage to receive the award!"
Gong Xi'ao was stunned. The winner of this competition was obviously Nan Tianlong. Why did he let himself go on stage to receive the award?
Although he had doubts, he did not stop, and he and Nan Tianlong swept to the viewing platform one after another.
"Haha, you two are the pillars of our Tianxing Sect, and they have advanced in cultivation. It is really a blessing for our sect. I am very pleased. Protector Nan!" When Lan Kuotian saw the two people on stage, he chuckled and said to Nan Tianlong Reach out.
Nan Tianlong turned his palm and respectfully handed the small bell to the leader.
"This brown dragon bell belongs to the ninth generation head of our Tianxing Sect. After he passed away, our sect has never had a disciple with the extreme fire attribute above Tianyuan Peak, so this magical weapon has been gathering dust for thousands of years.
Tianlong, although you have not reached the peak of Tianyuan, your physique meets the requirements. And in this competition, you also exerted more than 70% of the power of this treasure.
With the power of this treasure, you will be able to fight against the masters at the top of Tianyuan, and the ninth generation leader can be regarded as having a successor. I give it to you today, and it can be regarded as the reward you deserve! "
Lan Kuotian took the brown dragon bell and stroked it with his hand for a while, as if he was reluctant to part with it. However, this expression passed quickly and he handed it back to Nan Tianlong again.
"Thank you, Master, for the generous gift! I will definitely do my best to bring honor to our Tianxing Sect. I will never..." Nan Tianlong bowed and said with gratitude. But before he could finish speaking, Lan Kuotian interrupted him with a wave of his hand.
"Haha, wait a moment before expressing your opinion." Lan Kuotian said with a smile.
Nan Tianlong was stunned, not knowing what the leader meant.
"I have discussed with the Council of Elders. From today on, you are the elder of my Tianxing Sect's foreign affairs!"
"What, Elder of Foreign Affairs! Not only did Protector Nan get a quasi-magic weapon, he was also promoted to Elder of Foreign Affairs!"
"The great elder is also in charge of external affairs, so this position has never been set up. Unexpectedly, today we made an exception!"
"Guardian Nan wanted to represent our Tianxing Sect in the selection of Zhou Tianzong, so he was promoted as an exception. Previously, the position of Guardian Nan was a little low, so..."
Shocked to hear this, everyone in the audience couldn't help but talk about it.
"This...subordinate, I will do my best and swear allegiance to Tianxing Sect and Sect Lan!" Nan Tianlong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed and hurriedly saluted and paid homage, thanking him repeatedly, but his voice was trembling.
He had this idea before when the head lent him the brown dragon bell. After winning, it was expected that the leader would take it as a reward.
But he never thought that there would be a bigger surprise waiting for him.
The status of the elders in the sect is respected, far beyond their duties as protector and chief deacon. They can participate in the decision-making of important matters in the sect. They are the highest-ranking members of the Tianxing sect. All the disciples in the sect regard this as their lifelong responsibility. Target.
How could he not be excited when his long-cherished wish for many years came true?
"Haha, Elder Nan, I believe that you will definitely have a place in the city-wide competition!" Lan Kuotian's eyes were full of encouragement.
"Thank you, Master, for your kind words. I will work hard and never let you down!" Nan Tianlong said solemnly.
"Okay, okay, Elder Nan, please take a seat!"
"I obey!" After Nan Tianlong bowed again, he found the seat assigned to him and sat down, naturally full of joy.
"General Deacon Gongxi!" Lan Kuotian turned to look at Gongxi Ao again and stretched out his hand.
"My subordinate is here." Gong Xi'ao quickly stepped forward to salute and presented the dagger with both hands, but felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"This Xuanguang Sword is also a precious item in the sect. It is very powerful and is considered top-grade among quasi-magical weapons. It has been in the dust for many years." Lan Kuotian stroked the Xuanguang Sword and murmured in his mouth.
Upon hearing this, all the elders nodded in agreement.
"Although the Chief Deacon was defeated by Elder Nan today, it was only by one move. Moreover, you have made countless great contributions to our Tianxing Sect over the past hundred years, and your achievements are obvious to all.
Therefore, I give you this Xuanguang Sword, and you will also serve as the Zuo Guardian. I hope you will continue to work hard, move forward bravely, and make contributions to our Tianxing Sect! "
Lan Kuotian handed the Xuan Guang Sword back to Gong Xi Ao and encouraged him.
"Thank you, Master, for the reward. I will remember the Master's teachings and swear to protect our Tianxing Sect to the death!" Gong Xi'ao said impassionedly.
"Okay, okay. Please take a seat!"
"I respect your orders!"
Although Gong Xi'ao was defeated, he still obtained a quasi-magic weapon and gained an additional important position.
Seeing him return to his seat, some late Tianyuan cultivators who did not participate in the competition were almost filled with regret. If they had known this, they would have participated in the competition no matter what.
The selection was all over. The Great Elder Li Fengyun said a few words of encouragement, and everyone dispersed.
"This isn't a competition, it's just an awards ceremony!" Tiger muttered on the road.
"These two are the strongest people below the peak of Tianyuan in our sect. They have similar strength. If only one party is rewarded, the other party will definitely be dissatisfied. Today's move can be said to be a happy one." Linghu Deyi said.
"Everyone is happy? I don't think so." Zhou Yang shook his head.
"Oh, fourth brother, what do you have in mind?" Song Dahu turned around and asked after hearing this.
"Haha, big brother, little brother just said it casually, don't take it seriously." Zhou Yang waved his hand hurriedly.
"Hey, if you and I brothers have anything else to hide, just say it." Song Dahu waved his hand.
After entering the room, Zhou Yang solemnly said: "In my opinion, everyone is happy with this method, but in the end I'm afraid no one is happy."
"Why did fourth brother say this?" Dahu couldn't help but raise his brows when he heard this. Everyone also became interested and pricked up their ears.
"It is reasonable to reward Elder Nan because he is the winner. However, it is completely unreasonable to reward the loser as well.
First, although Elder Nan was promoted, he must have some ideas if a loser takes over his position.
Secondly, the chief deacon also received a quasi-magic weapon, so he was naturally happy. However, he took over the position of Elder Nan and seemed to have gained another important position, but it seemed to be superfluous. "
"Superfluous?" Dahu was puzzled.
"Although Protector Zuo is the first of the four great protectors, he is at the same level as the Chief Deacon Chuan Gong and equally important, so Chief Deacon Gongxi is not happy either.
Moreover, the strength of the Chief Deacon and Elder Nan were already on par with each other. He took over the position of Guardian Zuo, and he was suspected of being disrespectful and could easily make people feel resentful.
Thirdly, the rewards do not distinguish between the winner and the loser. The disciples will think that it is unfair to each play fifty big boards, so it is better to only reward the winner. This move can further stimulate the loser's desire to be stronger, and also convince all the disciples that they will strive to be first in everything.
If you want to be the first, you must study hard and practice hard. With everyone practicing hard, there is no need for the Tianxing Sect to worry about not being strong. Only then will it be possible to truly rise!
Of course, what I said should be treated as a joke, but should not be taken as true or true. "
"Well, the fourth brother's words are quite reasonable." Song Dahu praised, secretly thinking that this man is indeed insightful. His analysis is clear and the issues pointed out are to the point.
However, he changed his tone and added: "But you don't know something about what's going on inside."
"Oh, is there something hidden in this?" Zhou Yang asked doubtfully.
"That's right. Needless to say, Elder Nan, his elder has an old relationship with Lan Kuotian. But Gong Xi'ao's background is even greater." Song Dahu said solemnly.
