Chapter 40 The emergence of the top eight
Bai Fei didn't see Tang Roumei's name among the eight groups, so she probably wouldn't be able to compete. Among the top 32 players, those with the lowest cultivation level are at the late stage of Hundred Changes or the ninth level of cultivation. I learned from the master that six people, including myself, have already broken through to the early stage of Ten Thousand Methods.
The competition at this stage is divided into three days, with each group playing two games every day. On the first day, the first place will play against the fourth place, and the second place will play against the third place. Bai Fei saw that the people in his group, including Huo Nu, were still in the peak state of all changes, so he was not in a hurry to take the Wuwu Pill. The woman from the Palace of Light learned that Bai Fei had broken through, and she chose to give up after the two fought for a long time. After all, the difference was in rank, not rank. This was no longer on the same level. The competition between the fire girl and the casual cultivator was extremely fierce. With her status as the chief disciple of Paradise Palace, her resources and trump cards were much better than the others. The key was that she did not expect that this casual cultivator turned out to be a soul cultivator. If it weren't for him Still stuck at the tenth level of growth, she would most likely lose this game. In the end, she relied on a steady stream of trump cards to win the game with great difficulty. Not long after the soul cultivator gave in, he unexpectedly broke through to the realm of soul recovery, scaring the fire girl into a cold sweat. He has achieved a breakthrough in the realm of a player. He does not regret losing this game. Instead, he sincerely thanks the fire girl. He also knows that if it were not for the ruthless suppression of his opponent, he would not be able to reach his potential. Even if he misses the top 16, he still feels sad in his heart. No regrets.
On the morning of the 18th day, old man Tianxuan told Bai Fei that three more people had broken through to the realm of ten thousand arts, and Huo Nu was among them. It seemed that she had benefited a lot from yesterday's competition. Today's competition is between the first place vs. the second place, and the third place vs. the fourth place. The casual cultivator achieved a breakthrough and easily defeated the woman from the Palace of Light. Bai Fei and Huo Nu were both at the early stage of Wanfa. , originally he thought he was going to have another hard fight, but he didn't expect Huo Nu to unexpectedly take the initiative to admit defeat.
After returning to the secret room, Bai Fei did not hesitate and took the Wuwu Pill with the help of old man Tianxuan. A few hours later, the Wild Immortal Fist was upgraded and successfully entered the middle stage of Wanfa.
Yun Xiao relayed the news from old man Tianxuan to Bai Fei. Now two more people have entered the early stage of Wanfa, and two people have reached the middle stage of Wanfa. One of them is Luo Dongling, and the other one is He Bai Fei. He didn't know that Bai Fei, the fire girl in the same group, had also entered the middle stage of Ten Thousand Methods. Counting that, three of them had already entered this realm. In fact, the old man Tianxuan did not include those few soul cultivators, just like the casual cultivators who were in the same group as Bai Fei, they were also at the level of the early stage of Wanfa.
The monsters are everywhere, and they are really reflected in this stage of the game. Even Bai Fei can smell the danger. He doesn't know how to make another breakthrough in the short term.
He didn't know, but old man Tianxuan knew that he and Yao Shuchen had been at odds several times, and finally Yao Shuchen finally gritted his teeth and agreed. Originally, Yao Shuchen wanted to push Bai Fei to the top at once, but old man Tianxuan thought very far, and finally persuaded her to carry out this plan in three stages.
Yao Shuchen made one last request, that is, he didn't want Bai Fei to know that she was doing this. Old man Tianxuan agreed, but he was secretly funny in his heart. As long as Bai Fei was not a fool, he should be able to guess it with a little association. He really overestimated Bai Fei. Bai Fei was indeed not a fool. Although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't dare to think about it. In his eyes, Yao Shuchen was so dignified and generous and admirable, not to mention her saving Yun. Ling Yunan also taught her medical skills carefully, and even entrusted the two sisters Yao Rou and Yao Jie to their lives. She also gave him the Wuwu Pill and helped him refine the Heavenly Match. He also cured his evil fire disease and improved his cultivation. He has made great progress. Without this, he would not have been able to get to where he is today. How could he dare to blaspheme and doubt such a great kindness? He only had infinite gratitude and respect in his heart.
Old man Tianxuan didn't tell Yao Shuchen that this primitive method was not the only way to fuse the five elements. Thinking back to when he was in Tianxuanmen, because of that mysterious skill, when Bai Fei performed the fusion of the five elements for the first time, even the opponent's body was No contact required.
In this day's competition, Huo Nu easily defeated the disciple of the Temple of Light. Although the casual cultivator got a breakthrough, he did not expect Bai Fei to be such a monster and gave up after a short battle. At this point, Bai Fei and Huo Nu both entered. Top 16. In other group competitions, Luo Dongling and the disciples from the Paradise Palace in the first group qualified, the Dark Palace and the Palace of Light in the second group both qualified, and the disciples from the Paradise Palace and the Palace of Light in the third group were originally ranked second. The only remaining Wandan Hall disciples in the fourth group were defeated. The casual cultivators and Renwumen disciples of the fourth group qualified. The two Paradise Palace disciples of the sixth group qualified together. The Dark Palace and the Light Palace of the seventh group both qualified again. The Diji Sect and Rogue Cultivators of the eighth group qualified. Except for the Wandan Hall disciples of the third group who unexpectedly failed, the other groups were all qualified by the top two before. Moreover, they all ranked first with a complete victory and a loss. One game ranked second.
The next day was another break, and the groups were drawn again. This time it was a two-two showdown. The loser was directly eliminated and missed the quarterfinals. The competition venue was also moved to the main arena.
This time, the person ranked second in the group cannot draw lots. Their fate is completely in the hands of the person in the first place in the group. The eight first people in the group will each draw a number from nine to sixteen, which is determined. The opponent for the knockout rounds in the next two days.
Among these people, Huo Nu was the most nervous. From the knockout round to the qualifying round, she was in the same group as Bai Fei. If history repeated itself, she would really be so angry that she would vomit blood on the spot. Fortunately, Bai Fei's final opponent was a disciple of the Paradise Palace who was in the early stage of Ten Thousand Techniques. She was also favored by fate. Her opponent was a disciple of the Palace of Darkness who was only in the early stage of Ten Thousand Techniques.
Among the top 16, in addition to Luo Dongling, there are two casual cultivators. The Paradise Palace occupies five seats, the Palace of Light occupies three seats, the Palace of Darkness occupies two seats, Tianxuan Sect occupies one seat and is Bai Fei, Earth End. The sect and the Renwu sect each occupy a seat. Among the ten sects, four sects were completely wiped out, and among the top 16, they were all martial arts cultivators.
After returning to the secret room, old man Tianxuan mysteriously took Bai Fei away, running all the way, and finally came to an exquisite room. Before Bai Fei could speak, he caught Bai Fei by surprise and gently put him down. on the bed.
Not long after he left, a woman with a veiled face walked in. She was naturally Yao Shuchen. Yao Shuchen's body trembled slightly, looking at Bai Fei lying quietly on the bed, she had mixed feelings in her heart.
Although Bai Fei was restrained, the Five Elements Array in his body was still operating naturally. After contacting the fire attribute essence passed by Yao Shuchen, the Five Elements Array moved faster and faster. His meridians all over his body were like warm sunshine. His cultivation level increased rapidly. Only when his Wild Immortal Fist reached level 44 did Yao Shuchen interrupt the supply of fire attribute essence.
Not long after she left in a hurry, old man Tianxuan came in. He immediately released his hold on Bai Fei. Before Bai Fei could speak, he said in a deep voice: "Fei'er, don't ask anything. Quickly stabilize your realm."
Although there was still a familiar fragrance around him, Bai Fei did not dare to be careless. Seeing that his realm had improved so much, he felt suspicious in his heart, but he also knew that it was the master's hard work, so he immediately worked hard to slow down his realm. Slow and steady.
Old man Tianxuan didn't explain this matter, and Bai Fei couldn't help but ask. When Old Man Tianxuan said that there were still two more times before the Five Elements Formation in his body could reach its peak, Bai Fei couldn't help but beg him to stay awake next time to face all this. Old Man Tianxuan said that he had already promised, Since people said they would spend so much effort to help him, he couldn't break it, so Bai Fei had to accept it silently, but he had mixed feelings in his heart and couldn't be sure who could help him like this.
On the 21st day of the competition, although there were only four games, they lasted until the evening, which shows the intensity of the competition. Luo Dongling and the casual cultivator made another breakthrough. They were at the middle stage of Ten Thousand Techniques and without any doubt defeated two opponents who were in the early stage of Ten Thousand Techniques and advanced to the quarterfinals. In the other two battles, all four of them were at the early stage of Ten Thousand Techniques. After a lot of hard work, the Palace of Darkness and the Palace of Paradise were slightly better and eliminated their opponents.
"Palace Master Ling, that girl doesn't seem to be a disciple of your top ten forces. Judging from her formation, she seems to have some reservations. It's really eye-opening for me." On the main stage, Mr. Mao looked at the Paradise Palace next to him. Grand Palace Master Ling Xiao said.
"Well, she is an unparalleled disciple of the Lingshi Sect, but Mr. Mao, when it comes to evildoers, Bai Fei from the Tianxuan Sect is the first choice. When the lot was drawn yesterday, he was still in the middle stage of Ten Thousand Methods. Look at him now. He is already at the peak of Ten Thousand Techniques. Among the top 16, Luo Dongling is showing signs of breaking through again, but the others are only at the middle stage of Ten Thousand Techniques. In such a comparison, whoever faces Bai Fei will definitely lose."
"Oh, Mr. Tianxuan, congratulations on accepting such an outstanding disciple. It seems that you have invested a lot of capital, right?"
"I don't dare. It's all because of his own hard work and the help of noble people that he has achieved such an achievement. I'm just getting a little credit." Old man Tianxuan glanced at Yao Shuchen intentionally or unintentionally, not hiding that he was white. Fei's expression of joy was something that a disciple like him would be proud of.
"Hmph!" Ye Bufan, the master of the Palace of Darkness, suddenly snorted in displeasure.
"Master Ye, you seem to have other ideas. You might as well tell me."
"I don't dare, Mr. Mao. It's too early to draw any conclusions now. Looking at all previous conferences, the final champions are all above the Earthly Immortal Realm. We'll have to wait and see."
"Okay, Mr. Mao, today's game is over. Let's look forward to tomorrow's game." Ling Xiao said.
In the match on the 22nd day, Bai Fei easily defeated his opponent without any suspense. In the sixth and seventh matches, old rivals met again. In the sixth match, both of them were disciples of Paradise Palace. , making Ling Xiao sigh. In the end, the previous disciple from Paradise Palace once again defeated his opponent and entered the top eight. In the seventh battle, the disciples of the Palace of Light turned defeat into victory, while the disciples of the Palace of Darkness were defeated with a small disadvantage and were counterattacked.
"Brother, I accept it!" Ye Qingcen, the master of the Palace of Light, said with a smile as his flower branches trembled.
"Hmph!" Seeing that she didn't care about her image at all, Ye Bufan was so angry that he clenched his fists loudly.
In the last game, Huo Nu, who had broken through to the middle stage of Ten Thousand Techniques, simply overwhelmed her opponent. She had been suppressed by Bai Fei several times before, and her fight with the soul cultivator was too difficult in that game. After truly getting her vent, she was in no rush to defeat her opponent. If the opponent hadn't taken the initiative to admit defeat in the end, she could have played like this for a whole day. When the leader of Diji Sect, Old Man Wuji, saw such a result, he could only lament the unlucky situation. He could not blame his disciples. Everyone drew lots, and this was their fate.
The draw will be conducted immediately after the game. This draw has no practical significance, because in the eight-to-four game, it is also calculated based on the number of wins as before. Everyone will play in pairs, and there will be a total of 28 games. It is divided into four days, with 7 games played every day. If these 7 games cannot be completed during the day, they will be continued at night until the result is determined. If the result is not determined by dawn the next day, the game will be forcibly interrupted. The winner will be judged by the 32 strong men in charge of the barrier. However, this is just a backup rule. This has never happened before in history, because the further the game goes, the wider the gap between players becomes, and there will be many attempts to surrender without a fight.
