What surprised the big men was not the sharpness of the sword, but the power of the sword. Those sword gleams struck out, which actually caused the top-grade magic shield to lose its spirituality.
This speed of spiritual power loss is much faster than the damage caused by ordinary quasi-magic weapons, which is enough to prove that this long sword is not an extraordinary thing.
To be precise, this sword should have the function of absorbing spiritual power or spirituality. Not only against magic shields, but also effective against all magic weapons.
On the third stage, the deacon had just used the best magic shield and found that the shield was shrinking rapidly. He was shocked and hurriedly poured magic power into it.
However, the speed of injecting mana is far less than the speed of the loss of spiritual power of the magic shield. This magic shield becomes smaller, smaller, and smaller again at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But the sword light emitted by the long sword became more and more blazing, and the attacks became more and more fierce. Seeing that the magic shield could no longer stop it.
There was a look of horror in Zhou Yang's eyes. This kind of magical weapon was too evil. Not only was it powerful in attack, it could also absorb a large amount of spiritual power. This was definitely a supernatural power.
"No, I seem to have seen this kind of situation before. It feels familiar!" Zhou Yang frowned, but he didn't have close contact with it, so he couldn't remember it for a while.
The magic shield could no longer block the attack of the sword. Deacon Zhou Tianzong was attacked and a little of his magic power was sucked away. In his horror, he did not dare to block it anymore, and retreated violently, barely able to avoid the sword light.
However, Elder Shang was unyielding and took advantage of the situation. He let go of his long sword, secretly pinched the magic spell and changed its direction, attacking the deacon again.
Deacon Zhou Tianzong was furious, his momentum surged, and with the surge of mana, an ice wall instantly formed in front of him. The ice wall was about a foot thick, and the sword light struck it violently, making a roar, but it did not penetrate.
The sword body came next, and the pressure on the ice wall increased sharply, and it exploded in a moment.
However, Deacon Zhou Tianzong had already retreated dozens of feet, and his long sword broke through the ice wall defense. His strength was greatly reduced, his speed also slowed down, and he lost his attack power.
"Elder Shang Jingyun wins!" Suddenly, the voice of the ruling deacon came from the audience.
Deacon Zhou Tianzong was stunned for a moment, then he understood. He looked down and saw that one of his feet had indeed stepped on the dotted line, and he had really lost!
"Asshole!" Deacon Zhou Tianzong was extremely angry. He touched the dotted line carelessly. It wasn't because he was really defeated by the opponent. He was too frustrated.
In less than two hours, the top ten in the Tianyuan Realm competition were announced, and Nan Tianlong was among them.
Next is the competition between Lingtai disciples.
The top one hundred Lingtai disciples are all extraordinary in strength, and they are not easy to compete with.
In the first round, all twenty people jumped onto the high platform for the competition. This round, Zhou Yang was assigned to stage nine, and his opponent was an elite disciple of the Dingbei Ling family.
As soon as the two of them fought, the verdict was drawn. Zhou Yang played very lightly, but he did not immediately defeat him with a heavy hand. Instead, he used the first form of the Lianying Split Light Sword that he had not yet fully understood.
At first, the Light Sword only appeared in the form of aura. Even so, his aura was comparable to a high-grade magic weapon.
The Glimpse of Light Splitting Sword Technique is a Taoist technique based on spiritual light. It should be an intermediate top grade. However, because it consumes too much spiritual power and mana, and the practice speed is surprisingly slow, there are only a few practitioners, so it was later adopted. It is defined as intermediate and low-level Taoism.
However, if this Taoist technique is cultivated to perfection, its power will be unimaginable.
If you just realize it by yourself, how effective is it in actual combat with others? Wouldn't it be a pity to not use free sparring at this time?
The first form is to split light into shadow, which means to separate the spiritual light of the cultivator to form several or even dozens of sword energy.
The first form was modified by the female head of the Tianxing Sect and is very suitable for use by peak Lingtai cultivators. Because after reaching the realm of Tianyuan, spiritual power is converted into mana, and mana can be transformed, so there is no need for the first move.
At the beginning, it was extremely difficult to separate the spiritual light. Even if you followed the Light-grabbing Sword Technique for dozens of weeks, it would still be difficult to achieve the desired effect.
Zhou Yang shot out more than a hundred spiritual lights to fight against the Ling family disciples.
The other party was furious. This was so disrespectful. He actually resisted my magic weapon with only his spiritual light. He was extremely arrogant.
In a rage, the Ling family disciples used their best magic weapons to attack violently. Zhou Yang was caught off guard for a moment and forced him to retreat continuously, just one step away from stepping on the dotted line.
In desperation, Zhou Yang quickly performed the Seven-Star Flowing Cloud Step. At the same time, his two fingers were moving with aura, and the Glazing Sword Technique was operating to the extreme. The intensity of the aura doubled than before, but his spiritual power was also rapidly lost.
He didn't know how much spiritual light he shot out, but suddenly his spiritual light broke into three pieces, forming three sword energy that shot towards the opponent. The speed also increased several times, and the power was naturally greatly enhanced.
Done! This is the first form of the Glimpse Light Splitting Sword, splitting light into shadow.
Under the opponent's crazy attack, the spectroscopic technique was finally forced out. This technique is extremely difficult. If you practice hard alone, you may not be able to succeed.
The three spiritual lights turned into sword shadows, startling the Ling family's children, and they hurriedly used high-grade magic shields to block them.
The sword energy hit the magic shield, and the impact alone made the opponent retreat continuously.
Zhou Yang was overjoyed when he saw this. He flicked his fingers together and shot out sword energy, which greatly reduced the spiritual power of the top-grade magic shield on his face and quickly shrunk it.
On the viewing platform, Master Fudo, who had been closing his eyes to rest his mind, moved his brows, his eyes suddenly opened, and a beam of light shot towards the No. 9 competition stage, but it only took a moment before he closed his eyes again.
However, the next moment, Zhou Yang's offensive slowed down, which slightly reduced the pressure on the opponent.
Unless Zhou Yang didn't want to continue the attack, how could he have just completed the cultivation of Spectral Shadow Transformation and didn't understand it to a high degree. He was currently in a state of extremely consuming spiritual energy. If he continued to attack with this method, he would use up all his spiritual energy in a short time.
So at this time, he could only use magic weapons to attack.
After Zhou Yang went all out, the children of the Ling family immediately fell into a passive position. They could only parry but had no power to fight back.
After a stick of incense, the opponent was exhausted and voluntarily surrendered.
Zhou Yang easily passed the first round and advanced into the top 50.
Two hours later, the first round of competition was over. Butcher, Pei Zhongjie, and Wu Qiong also entered the top 50, and Luo Haisheng was eliminated.
Logically speaking, the second round of the Lingtai realm should continue, but then a competition at the Kaiyuan level was arranged, which lasted until after sunset.
On the viewing platform, Qiu Yiming stood up and announced that all competitions were over. That’s right, all of them!
Everyone in the audience was stunned. The top three in Tianyuan realm had not yet been determined, and the top ten in Lingtai realm and Kaiyuan realm had not yet appeared. How could it be over?
Qiu Yiming paused for a moment and spoke again: "Everyone, the Dingbei competition originally scheduled for seven days has been moved forward to two days later, and the internal selection of our Zhou Tianzong has also been moved forward accordingly.
According to the new agreement, the top ten cultivators in the Tianyuan Realm, the top fifty in the Lingtai Realm, and the top twenty in the Kaiyuan Realm are eligible to participate in the triennial competition in Dingbeicheng. Therefore, the competition for the top three at each level is temporarily suspended, and the rankings in the Dingbei Competition will be determined instead. If the competition cannot be determined, another competition will be arranged.
Okay, all the disciples who have qualified for the Dingbei Competition will have a day off tomorrow. They will still be here to participate in the competition the next day, so go back and prepare! "After that, Qiu Yiming bowed slightly to Master Fudo, who nodded and led everyone away from the viewing platform.
"Is this the end? Also, why is the Dingbei Competition advanced?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?"
"Is there something big happening in Dingbei?"
"It's hard to say."
"A few days ago, Zhou Tianzong announced the positions of city lord and deputy city lord. Isn't this a big change?"
"that's true."
"It should be more than that."
The disciples in the audience and the people watching were all talking about it, and they had all kinds of speculations about how the competition ended so quickly.
"The top fifty can enter the Dingbei Competition. This is inconsistent with the previous statement! Doesn't it mean that only those who are in the top thirty of Zhou Tianzong can enter the competition? Could it be that a major change has really happened?" Zhou Yang was also greatly worried. Puzzled.
Wu Xiao and Nan Tianlong were both left behind. Among the remaining disciples, Zhou Yang had the highest position. Wu Xiao handed him the jade tablet of the master, and he let him control the Qingluan bird to bring everyone back to the Tianxing Gate.
However, that blue luan bird was so arrogant that it even looked down upon Wu Xiao, let alone a small Lingtai realm disciple. So what if you have a jade medal, you are not the leader.
So when Zhou Yang held the jade sign and asked him to lean over, the bird's huge head shook and he ignored him.
This action made Zhou Yang very embarrassed.
"Hey, captain, do you want some help?" the butcher said with a smile.
"Yes, Captain Zhou, if that doesn't work, we are willing to help, but..." Pei Zhongjie also felt a little weird.
Zhou Yang was angry in his heart. How could he not understand the meaning of the two people's words? If he was not competent, just hand over the jade token!
Butcher, Pei Zhongjie and others were extremely dissatisfied with giving the jade tablet to Zhou Yang. How qualified is a newcomer who has just entered the Tianxing Sect to hold the jade medal of the leader, and where does this place the old disciples like them?
Seeing that Zhou Yang was defeated at this time, how could the two of them miss the opportunity to attack him.
In front of dozens of Tianxing Sect disciples, if you can't successfully control the Qingluan Bird, you will lose a lot of face. But with his cultivation level, how could he tame an almost fifth-level high-level Qingluan bird.
If you can't beat him, you can't beat him. Even if you can beat him, you can't beat him. He's not the leader's mount.
what to do? Zhou Yang was anxious in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face. There were beads of sweat on his forehead.
"What are you doing, captain? Maybe you've been here too short and Qingluan doesn't know you. Otherwise, I'll give it a try!" the butcher teased.
Zhou Yang turned his head and looked directly into the butcher's eyes, his murderous intent fleeting.
The butcher screamed for no reason and turned pale.
The look in his eyes was so terrifying. Not only that, he felt his consciousness fluctuate, and he felt a stinging sensation, like being pricked by a needle.
"This!" The butcher was horrified. Zhou Yang was more than ten years younger than him, and his murderous aura was actually stronger than his.
What's even more frightening is that Zhou Yang actually affected his consciousness. Could it be that this kid has the consciousness to attack with secret techniques?
