"Huangfu Qingyu and the others are also new disciples, why are they so scary?" Qianqiu asked in confusion.
Yunzhi pulled Qianqiu aside and said: "Qianqiu, you don't know the palace of Master Duan Jue of the Alchemy Hall, right?"
Qianqiu nodded and said: "Although Master Duan opposes me everywhere, he has not acted recklessly to the point of exaggeration. Although there is a city, it has not posed any threat to me so far."
Yun Zhi waved her hands hurriedly and said, "Things are not as simple as you think."
"Did Huangfu Qingyu and the others receive any advice?" Qianqiu asked doubtfully.
Yun Zhi thought again and again, looked around, made sure he had not noticed the two of them, and said softly to Qianqiu: "I won't hide it from you, now I want to tell you my thoughts."
"Sister, please tell me, Qianqiu must keep it a secret." Qianqiu knew there must be some secret as soon as he heard it, and quickly gave Yunzhi a reassurance.
Yun Zhi said: "It is said that Master Duan gave Huangfu Qingyu, Yu Wenhua and others some pills."
"Do these pills have any effect?" Qianqiu asked puzzledly.
Yun Zhi said: "Yes, these pills can enhance a practitioner's cultivation level in a short period of time. It is said that Master Duan gave them a lot. If something unexpected happens during the competition, these pills will come in handy." "
"What about us?" Qianqiu asked hurriedly, "Master Yun can't just ignore it. Other people's disciples have pills to take, and our Yanyutang just takes them."
Yunzhi hit Qianqiu's head hard with his hand and said, "Master is still practicing in seclusion in the Dazzling Light Cave. Where did we get the pills?"
"This..." Qianqiu was speechless for a moment.
Yun Zhi said: "Sister, I just want to remind you that you must be careful during the competition. These pills are tonics and are not prohibited in our Oriental sect's competition conference."
"Qianqiu, please remember." Qianqiu clasped his fists and said confidently, "I will never let them have the opportunity to take these pills."
"Okay, okay, stop talking. Go back and prepare well. Tomorrow's acting leader, Master Lian, will personally announce your battle plan." Yunzhi said.
At night, Qianqiu sat alone in his room thinking about tomorrow's ranking battle.
"Sixteen will advance to eight, and the ninth and tenth places must be determined from the bottom six through separate competitions. If you want to get the top six results, you have to win at least two games!" Qianqiu was lying alone, thinking, and slowly entered Dreamland.
At dawn the next day, all the outer disciples, visiting officers and soldiers, and disciples from the Five Elements Hall gathered at the martial arts field.
Lian Bo and others stood on the stage of the martial arts arena in high spirits, with Han Shuangxue, Xue Xuzhao and others standing beside them.
Today, there are some extra things on the stage of the martial arts arena. One is a huge wooden sign. On the wooden sign is a battle map of the top 16. There are sixteen wooden frames at the bottom. This frame is A place to place the names of the top 16.
Lian Bo held a piece of parchment in his hand and announced loudly: "After many competitions in the past few days, the top sixteen were finally determined from among the many disciples. I am very happy that no fraud occurred in this knockout round. It’s something that hurts people. Therefore, the ranking battle will begin today, so all disciples, please be prepared."
Lian Bo paused and continued: "This ranking battle only uses a large venue, and each competition will be held in this venue in front of us. The rules of the ranking competition are as follows: The disciples who take the initiative to admit defeat will be counted as losers, and they have no ability to fight back. If you fall out of the field, you will lose. If both parties are unable to fight again, but one party's spiritual beast defeats the other party, the practitioner who wins the spiritual beast will also be considered the winner. This competition adopts a progressive elimination system until the final decision. The first place in the competition. This qualifying match is the same as the knockout round. Both sides must not rush to kill them all. If there is any violation, the sect rules will be severely punished. "
Qianqiu stood at the front of the team in Yanyu Hall, listening to Lian Bo's words, and said in his heart: "Yesterday, we only posted the names of sixteen people, but did not announce the battle map. Today's implementation of the battle map must be to test the disciples' on-the-spot response. ability."
Qianqiu guessed correctly, and then Lian Bo held the parchment in his hand and announced loudly: "In order to test your adaptability, the specific battle map was not announced last night, but the list of the top sixteen disciples was announced. Next, I announce the start of the first group of competitions, with Alchemy Hall Culture versus Fire Control Hall Masafang."
As soon as he said this, the disciple on the side put Yu Wenhua's and Yafang's famous wooden plaques into the first pair of grids.
The people around the martial arts arena gradually became more interested.
"These two are both new disciples. I didn't expect to see the new forces facing each other in the first game."
"New disciples are just new disciples after all, and they will still lose to us old people in the end."
"That's not necessarily the case. Although there is a two-level difference between a junior magician and a senior magician, our Eastern sect has also had competitions in which we were able to win by leapfrogging levels before."
"Okay, okay, stop talking and watch the competition!"
Han Shuangxue looked at Yu Wenhua and Yafang who were slowly approaching the venue. After watching for a while, she said to Xue Xuzhao: "These two people are close in strength. It should be an inseparable battle."
Xue Xuzhao nodded and said: "There are so many talents in the Eastern School, and they are so well-appointed when they first come up. It really makes me jealous."
Yu Wenhua took off his sect's white robe and put on clothes that made it easier for him to move around. He pointed a silver gun and looked very majestic.
Yafang is an outstanding disciple of the Fire Control Hall. He is still a junior magician at a young age.
"Both sides are ready to...start the competition!" The acting head of the top 16, Lian Bo, personally serves as the referee to ensure the fairness of the competition.
"Then I won't be polite!" Yu Wenhua laughed, stepped out and kicked the gun, squeezed his hand, raised the gun and rushed towards Yafang. The whole movement was smooth and smooth, without any delay.
Yafang pulled out the fire-preventing belt without any expression, put on a posture, and prepared to face the enemy!
Although she was not big, she looked majestic as she held the fire-proofing belt in her hands.
In a blink of an eye, Yu Wenhua floated to Yafang's eyes, stabbed with his spear, and the spear made a harsh sound.
At some point, Yang Xian found Qianqiu's location and sat down next to him.
"Lao Yang, why are you here? This is our Yanyu Hall." Qianqiu asked doubtfully.
"Senior Sister Yunzhi asked me to come here. She said that I have a good brain and will help you analyze the enemy's situation." Yang Xian said with a smile.
Qianqiu looked for Yunzhi with disdain, but found no trace of her. Then he fixed his eyes on Yang Xian and said: "Old Yang, do you think Senior Sister Yunzhi is talking nonsense? You are smart, but my brain Why doesn’t it work?”
Yang Xian shook his head and did not continue to quarrel with Qianqiu. Instead, he pointed to the stage and said: "I know Yafang. He is the new star of the Fire Control Hall. He joined the Oriental Sect in the same batch as us. He has a good background."
"Look at the evil you are talking about! But, having said that, how strong is she?" Qianqiu asked.
Yang Xian said: "Ya Fang is the hardest working disciple among our generation. She is slightly older than us, but she has been working hard to improve herself. I only saw her a few months ago. Her specific strength is I don’t know much about it. I heard that her father is the grain and grass officer of Huanghu City, which is considered a medium-sized official position."
"So he's an inspirational guy?" Qianqiu asked.
"Yes, you can say that. But I haven't seen her take action with anyone else. Let's see how she plays later. If you encounter her later, it's better to be prepared." Yang Xian said.
Yu Wenhua and Yafang on the field have gone back and forth dozens of times, but neither of them activated the spirit beast in the contract talisman.
"After this trial, the two of them still refused to show their true abilities. If this continues, when will we be able to have a good fight?" Qianqiu sighed.
Yang Xian patted Qianqiu on the shoulder and said, "Brother Qian, do you still dare to say that you are not impatient?"
"I just don't want to be so stubborn. When I competed with you, I was as fast as thunder without any sloppiness." Qianqiu said with a slight smile.
"Brother Qian, look!" Yang Xian pointed to the field and said impatiently.
Yafang on the field took the lead in summoning his own spiritual beast, the fourth-level spiritual beast-Qiancai Butterfly!
The colorful butterflies are not big, just like Peng Qi's migratory locusts, there are tens of thousands of them. At this time, countless colorful butterflies emitting various colors are hanging in the field, dotted with stars, which is really beautiful.
People in the audience let out a burst of exclamations.
"I have never seen Yafang call out her spiritual beast. It turns out to be a thousand-colored butterfly!"
"This thousand-colored butterfly looks pretty, but I don't know how strong it is."
"You don't understand, the most beautiful thing is the most deadly."
People were talking in the audience.
Qianqiu looked at the thousands of colorful butterflies on the field, looked at Yang Xian, and said: "Old Yang, how could such a fourth-level spiritual beast appear here? Yafang is only a junior magician, where did such a spiritual beast come from? "
Yang Xian smiled and said: "You are allowed to have strange frogs in Qianqiu, but you are not allowed to have thousands of colorful butterflies in Yafang? This should have been contracted in the contract talisman before she went up the mountain."
"Before going up the mountain? She is a magician. How could she contract a fourth-level spiritual beast?" Qianqiu asked in confusion.
"Although Qiancai Butterfly is a fourth-level spiritual beast, each butterfly is not as powerful as a second-level or third-level spiritual beast. It should be numerically superior to be called a fourth-level spiritual beast. If there are only a few thousand, Isn’t this Qiancai Butterfly a third-level spiritual beast?” Yang Xian said with a smile.
When Qianqiu heard this, he felt it made sense and said: "This kind of spiritual beast has forced its way into the ranks of fourth-level spiritual beasts through sheer numbers. It may not be as good as the two-headed wolf of Yuwen Culture."
"Having said that, it depends on how the cultivator views and adjusts the coordination with this kind of spiritual beast. Our senior brother Peng Qi of Jiangtu Hall also has the advantage in quantity, but the power is also amazing!" Yang Xian said.
Yu Wenhua on the field was just slightly startled, and then said: "I never expected to see such a spiritual beast from the Western Regions in the Northwestern Chaotian Prefecture in the Oriental Sect. It really opened my eyes."
