Time goes back to an hour ago.
Covered in mud, Qi Mingchen was frantically running his spiritual power, absorbing the death energy around him, and focused on breaking through the third level of pill formation.
Originally, according to his original cultivation speed, half a month was more than enough to break through the third level of alchemy. However, in order to repair the high-grade red pills, he had left hidden wounds on his body, and his cultivation speed had slowed down a lot.
At this time, the spiritual power in the Dantian was constantly being compressed, and it was obviously only one step away from breaking through. It lasted for three days and was still at the second level of Dantian.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes suddenly, looked at the sky, and found a dark cloud.
There was no sunshine here, and he had lost the concept of time and had an ominous premonition.
You’re not going to miss the competition, are you?
He jumped up, didn't bother to clean himself up, and ran outside without stopping.
The path taken this time was different from the usual path out of the sect.
He was walking the same way he was carried into the back mountain when he was scarred, leading to the outer gate of Canglong Sect!
Qi Mingchen ran with all his strength. As the dark clouds faded, he saw the sun hanging directly above. It should be only noon.
He breathed a sigh of relief and continued to rush to the competition place, thinking about cleaning up his body if there was still time. It was said that this competition would last one day, so there should be enough time.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived, I heard Liu Mingxiao laughing and asking who else was there.
Seeing that there was no one to fight and the competition was about to end early, Qi Mingchen didn't care and walked directly to the ring.
Said: "Excuse me...can I wipe the dirt on my body? I was in a hurry and didn't have time to clean up."
After being rejected, he moved his limbs to loosen some of the solidified mud to prevent it from affecting his actions.
The competition begins!
Liu Mingxiao seemed to want to fight quickly, and punched him hard and powerfully in the chest!
The opponent's punches were very fast, like firecrackers on New Year's Eve, making a crackling sound.
Qi Mingchen took a step back slightly, seemingly dodging it easily.
"Why hide, get down quickly!" Liu Mingxiao was very impatient, and another punch followed.
But his body is light and he can dodge with ease. His agile and elegant body is like a feather. No matter how powerful the opponent's attack is, it has no effect.
Seeing that Liu Mingxiao couldn't hit him, he became furious and immediately changed his strategy and launched a roundhouse kick towards his face.
Qi Mingchen seemed relaxed, but in fact he didn't dare to separate himself at all, focusing on dodging and deciphering the opponent's moves.
In terms of strength, it was obviously difficult to win, but Liu Mingxiao had a bad temper and a straightforward attack style. He quickly thought of a way to break it.
Whoosh!
He bent down to avoid the roundhouse kick, and before the opponent could give up, he stood up and slapped the opponent.
Snapped!
This slap came without any warning, and it not only confused Liu Mingxiao, but also the people around him.
It's obviously not very powerful, but it's extremely insulting!
"..."
Liu Mingxiao's face was full of astonishment, as if he couldn't believe what had just happened. The clear slap marks on his face were like naked mockery, the corners of his mouth were trembling, and his eyes were scarlet and full of anger.
"you wanna die!"
He wrote three words one by one, clenched his fists, and punched with all his strength. This punch was as fast as lightning, and no one could dodge it regardless of his movement skills.
Qi Mingchen sneered, concentrated his spiritual energy at his feet, leaned up, put his backhand on the ground, and lifted his knees hard.
Click!
Hearing a crisp sound, Liu Mingxiao wailed and fell to the ground. At the same time, Qi Mingchen stepped on his chest and slapped him in front of everyone.
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
Seeing the increasingly frightened eyes of the other party, Qi Mingchen began to have some suspicions in his heart.
It seems that his spiritual power is not enough to instill fear in the enemy if he faces someone with a higher level than him, but if he defeats the opponent and creates a mental loophole, his spiritual power can instill fear in the opponent.
After a few slaps, before the referee could stop him, Liu Mingxiao burst into tears and shouted: "I give up, I give up, stop fighting, stop fighting! It's so fucking scary!"
Only then did Qi Mingchen stop his hand, stood up and faced the disbelieving looks of the people around him, and said lightly: "I'm sorry, I'm too weak and I don't dare to stop attacking without my opponent admitting defeat."
"..."
The corner of the referee's mouth twitched, and he couldn't say anything when he saw the clay figure opening his eyes and telling lies. He looked up at the elders on the high platform, hoping that they would make a decision.
At the same time, someone also brought a wet cloth and water. Qi Mingchen picked up the wet cloth and wiped his cheeks, neck, arms little by little...
His true face is revealed bit by bit in front of everyone.
In an instant, the whole place fell silent.
The next moment, a more heated discussion broke out!
"Qi Mingchen!"
"Isn't this that trash? How is that possible!"
"Isn't he already dead..."
After discovering that Qi Mingchen was the one who had been thrown into the back mountain, everyone became quiet again.
I don’t know how long it took, but someone said:
"How is it possible? How can someone stay alive in the back mountain for so long? Isn't that a place where even the day after tomorrow can't survive?"
The second elder stood up immediately and stared at the figure standing on the ring.
"Chen'er..."
The third elder's expression also became surprised. He clenched the armrests of the chair and leaned forward, as if trying to find a flaw.
"Impossible!" At this time, Liu Minghua stood up suddenly and shouted, and the people nearby immediately turned their attention to him.
Realizing that he was too rude, he put away his surprise and turned to worry, "Junior brother, junior brother is still alive...how on earth did you do it?"
Yes, how?
This is also a question for everyone.
A person who was destined to die in everyone's eyes was now standing alive in front of the public and won the first place in the competition.
After Qi Mingchen wiped his arms, he took two steps forward, bowed respectfully to the second elder, and said loudly: "Second elder, the disciple is back alive, and by the way, he can take back the place that originally belonged to the disciple!"
"You are a scapegoat. Even if you come back alive, what qualifications do you have to participate in the competition!"
The elder of the Punishment Pavilion branch stood up at this time and asked.
"What a scapegoat!" Qi Mingchen sneered, "I had no idea about the death of that unknown disciple. I even had no spiritual power when I was taken away. A person in the foundation building stage killed a person in the pill formation stage. Do you believe this elder, an outer disciple?"
The branch elder choked, and soon remembered something, and asked: "But you are obviously already at the level of pill formation, so you are also capable of killing the outer disciples. How do you explain it now?"
"The disciple was thrown into the back mountain with injuries all over his body. I didn't expect that he would be a blessing in disguise. He awakened his spiritual roots and barely survived. But Elder, you whipped me seven times indiscriminately and imprisoned the disciple in a dangerous place. Houshan obviously doesn’t want to leave a way for his disciples to survive!”
Qi Mingchen was on the ring with his head held high and his chest high. He faced the second elder impassionedly and said: "Disciple is not convinced! Disciple needs an explanation! Do we have to be treated like this just because we have a quota? The justice of the sect will be destroyed in this way. Drop it!"
His voice echoed in the empty arena, making everyone unable to recover!
