Amid the cheers of the crowd, Liang Bake walked off the ring.
He didn't see it when he went on stage, but when he came off the stage, he saw Qian Chao and the five people sitting in the front row at a glance. After being slightly stunned, he came over to say hello.
In recent years, Liang Bake's cultivation has not been hard-working, and he has put in a lot of hard work. Although there has been no news about him in Muxiufeng, he has only been practicing hard, but he has heard everything about Qian Chao and others. I thought that now that I had broken through the Xiaowu Pass, I could at least equal Qian Chao and the others in terms of cultivation. However, when I met today, I discovered that these five people were already at the sixth level of Qi Refining. I was actually a step behind.
"Senior Brother Qian..." Liang Bake saluted.
According to the rules of the sect, monks of the same rank are respected by those with higher cultivation level, so Liang Bake called Qian Chao this way.
Qian Chao said:
"Brother Liang, there is no need to be like this. We all came from Youming Valley together. There is no need to be so different. Let's grow up in order of age. I will call you Brother Liang, and you will call me Brother Qian. This is best."
Liang Bake said happily:
"Okay, Brother Qian, um, Brother Li, Brother Lu, Miss Tang, Miss Yan, although they are all in the sect, we haven't seen each other for many years."
Li Jian said:
"Yes, I am also in Mu Xiufeng and have been obsessed with practicing. I didn't know that Brother Liang has broken through the fifth level. I am very happy and congratulated."
Tang Ping said from the side:
"Hey, Brother Liang, you are so impressive that I lost my spirit stone!"
Lu Pingchuan also said:
"Well, that's right, I also lost my share."
Yanxuan smiled and said:
"Who told you not to listen to Brother Li's advice and buy Bai Tusheng..."
Many disciples in the audience could only look twice at Liang Bike, who had just helped them win the spirit stone. There was still a competition to come, and they would naturally continue to pay attention to the outcome of the next game, but in this boundless darkness In a corner of the crowd, there was a pair of eyes looking at Liang Bake and Qian Chao with extremely complicated eyes, laughing together, and that person's heart was filled with mixed emotions.
That person is Mr. Qin Suijie.
Even if it was impossible for Qin Suijie to participate in such a major event as the Cheng Guan En Examination, he could not restrain his curiosity and come to take a look at the excitement. As a result, the first exciting competition on the first day was Liang Boke played against a member of a noble family, and Liang Boke won very beautifully.
Seeing this, Mr. Qin felt quite emotional.
Once upon a time, this Liang Boke was a little follower behind him. However, after being beaten by Qian Chao on the bronze carriage, he refused to do anything for him anymore. For this reason, he even had people in Youming Valley threaten Liang Boke and kill him. It was a miserable struggle, but it was also at that time that Qin Suijie got to know Liang Bake's toughness for the first time, and he refused to be with him anymore. Later, it was Qian Chao and the boy named Lu who rescued Liang Bake. Now look at Liang Bike, and then look at himself. The once stupid boy has now broken through the fifth level and become an intermediate swordsman in Mu Xiufeng. I have to refine the "Double Sheng Dan" for those dandies every day to please them. Alas, things are so unpredictable!
After looking at Liang Bike, Qin Suijie turned his attention to Tang Ping. They were far away, and Qin Suijie naturally didn't know what those people were talking about. Then he saw that Tang Ping said something, which made Liang Bike laugh to the sky. Yanxuan beside her was laughing and pulling on Tang Ping's sleeves. Looking at Tang Ping's pretty face, Qin Suijie became worried again. Their plot was only aimed at Qian Chao, but later I realized that if they really succeeded, then Tang Ping would be... hateful... I am really powerless now!
Qin Suijie has begun to regret it. It seems that asking for help from anyone is better than asking for help from himself. When he is powerless, he can only watch others take away what he wants. Alas...
Relying on others is ultimately unreliable. Should you change your own way of doing things in the future?
Qin Suijie began to consider this issue for the first time.
…
After chatting and joking for a while, Liang Boke left.
Although Tang Ping and Lu Pingchuan both lost the spirit stones, after all, Li Jian and Qian Chao both bought Liang Boke Sheng. The two of them made a small profit, so Tang Ping went to buy the spirit stones they won. However, before she went to redeem the spirit stone, there was another competition that made Tang Ping a little moved. She hesitated and didn't know who to win.
Under the jade stone arena, on the big wooden sign facing the many disciples, the name ranked first in the third row is also a person they once knew. Of course, they are just acquaintances. The five of them are in Youming Valley. He had never spoken to this person before. Not only that, Li Jian was almost harmed by something this person brought into Youming Valley.
This person is Wu Ruiyuan.
The most profound memory of Wu Ruiyuan among the five of them was when they were dining in Chunxiang Hall. Shen Weile suddenly got violent and beat Qin Suijie. The two sisters stood side by side in the panic and looked at Qin Suijie indifferently. Jie was beaten mercilessly by Shen Weizhe, and it was horrific. It has been a long time since the incident in Youminggu. Even Qian Chao can't tell which of the two equally charming faces in his memory is his sister Wu Ruishan, and which is his. Sister Wu Ruiyuan.
Both of these sisters had gone through body training at that time. On the giant boat that entered the Five Spirit Sect from Youming Valley, all five people had seen the pair of sisters.
However, similar to Liang Bake, there has been no news about these sisters since they entered the Wuling Sect. If they had not seen her name at the Cheng Guan En Examination today, all five of them would have forgotten about these sisters.
The five of them also knew the person who was about to fight on stage with Wu Ruiyuan, and Qian Chao had fought with that person before. Coincidentally, Wu Ruiyuan's opponent was named Wei Bie.
Wei Bie, the son of the Wei family in Nan'an Prefecture, was the seventh person to challenge Qian Chao when Qian Chao won ten games in a row. He was good at manipulating an astonishing number of spiritual swords at the same time.
In front of Qian Chao, Wei Bie's method is nothing. It can only be said to be a small dwarf. But if Wei Bie and Wu Ruiyuan confront each other, what methods can Wu Ruiyuan use?
The five of them knew nothing about Wu Ruiyuan except her origins.
Qian Chao commented from memory:
"Although Wei's other methods are good, they are too fancy and a bit flashy. Of course, he is likely to improve again within this year, but Wu Ruiyuan was originally inconspicuous among those who came with us in Youming Valley. , except for her appearance and background, there is nothing eye-catching about her. For so many years, we didn’t even know which sect she went to. Unexpectedly, she also broke through the Xiaowu level. I guess she must be extraordinary. , if you really want to bet on them, I suggest you buy Wu Ruiyuan to win."
Tang Ping asked curiously:
"Are you so dismissive of Wei Bie? Didn't I see him fighting you back and forth?"
"It is precisely because I have fought against him that I know...well...I know Wei Bie's details a year ago. One year is not long, but I know nothing about Wu Ruiyuan. It's just a bet anyway, I don't If you are optimistic about Wei Bie, let’s choose Wu Ruiyuan.”
Tang Ping thought for a while and said:
"Okay, then I'll listen to you this time."
After saying that, she and Lu Pingchuan happily ran to place bets again.
But when the two of them returned, they brought back one more person. It was none other than Shang Jie who had returned from outside the clan.
Shangjie originally wanted to take out the spirit stones and buy a few bets, but when he finally squeezed through, he saw Tang Ping who was placing bets, so he hurried over to talk to her before being brought over.
"Senior Brother Shang!" Qian Chao was very surprised.
Shang Jie leaned directly into Qian Chao's ear and whispered, and Qian Chao's expression changed accordingly.
"Only one person?" Qian Chao asked quietly in surprise.
"There was only one. We waited for half an hour, but no one came out, and no one went in again. There was no movement around, and we were worried that the guy who went in would run away, so we used the one you gave us. Talisman."
"Yeah, that's fine," Qian Chao nodded. "Senior Brother Shang has worked hard and finally got something. I don't need to worry about it anymore. If there is trouble for Senior Brother Shang again in the future, I might have to..."
"Hey, why are you so polite? If you can be of use to me, just ask."
"Thank you very much."
After Shang Jie left, he went straight to the busiest place for betting. Tang Ping asked quietly:
"Is there any movement in the cold pool?"
"Yes," Qian Chao motioned to several companions to come over, "The cold pool has been sealed by Brother Shangjie, but there is only one Hua Cong locked inside."
"Why is there only one person?" Li Jian said. "Didn't the guy who has been following him follow him?"
"No, Shang Jie activated the formation half an hour after Hua Cong entered the cold pool. If Jiang Zhuopu was following at the time, he would have followed..." Qian Chao said.
"Is it possible..." Tang Ping said, "Jiang Zhuopu discovered that Senior Brother Shang and the others were hiding there, so he didn't dare to follow up?"
"It's possible, but there's another possibility. Someone in the sect who knows Wen Liang is hiding in Hanchichi may have guessed our purpose and secretly revealed the information to Jiang Zhuopu."
"Who could that be?" Yanxuan said.
"You can't see clearly now. Well, his tail will definitely be exposed after a while. By the way, Girl Tang, I must tell Senior Tang about this later."
"Yes, I know."
What must be said here is that the scene where the businessman came to Qian Chao to speak was also seen by others. Almost at the back of the crowd, Zhang Yi, who was watching the excitement from a distance, gently gestured to the person next to him. Jiang Zhuopu said:
"Hey, look over there, now you know who arranged the cold pool?"
Jiang Zhuopu stared at Qian Chao who was talking to Shang Jie and asked:
"who's that person?"
"That person is Qian Chao."
…
The competition continues.
The next few games were also not exciting, with Tang Ping and Lu Pingchuan losing and winning.
Finally, when a slim figure in a light pink dress walked towards the ring, she attracted the attention of many disciples.
"Wu Ruiyuan." Tang Ping looked at the figure and said, "I have inquired with those who are the dealers, Mr. Qian, she is a disciple of your Jiuxuan."
"Oh, Jiu Xuan disciple, then she... must not be a weapon refiner."
Qian Chao said this because he had never seen this woman in Chengqi Hall. If she didn't study weapon refining, she must study Five Elements Magic.
"I heard that her sister Wu Ruishan has also broken through the fifth level. She seems to be from our Yuling Sect." Tang Ping added.
The two sisters actually broke through the Xiaowu level, which made Qian Chao couldn't help but think of Shen Wei. I wonder what is happening to Mr. Shen who once had a love affair with these two sisters. He has been without him for a long time. News.
After Wu Ruiyuan entered the ring, the audience became much quieter. When they walked over just now, Qian Chao and others only saw her back. Now they can see Wu Ruiyuan's current face clearly.
She is indeed an out-and-out beauty. Although she is not stunningly beautiful, Wu Ruiyuan has a slim and graceful figure that she has grown over the years. She is graceful and graceful. This woman's appearance was originally charming. Perhaps she was not too thin for today's competition. Shi Fendai only appeared on the stage without a face, but it made this woman even more charming like a lotus. It attracted all the disciples in the audience to watch and talk about her.
When Wei Bie took the stage, there was no change from when he challenged Qian Chao a year ago. He was still tall and thin, with thin eyebrows and big eyes, looking calm and restrained.
He must have known in advance that his opponent was a woman. It seemed that he was a little reluctant when he walked on the stage. But after standing on the stage, he realized that his opponent was actually a real beauty. He glanced at Wu Ruiyuan opposite Wei Bie before saluting. :
"I am honored to learn Miss Wu's methods today."
Wu Ruiyuan said:
"I don't dare to take it seriously. I have to ask Mr. Wei to show mercy during the competition."
Then the host in the audience announced loudly:
"The competition begins!"
"Miss Wu, please."
"Master Wei, please."
"That's offending!"
Wei Bie was no longer humble, and had already made a perfect hand gesture with his fingers in his big sleeves, and then a bright and cold spiritual sword whizzed straight towards Wu Ruiyuan.
Almost at the same time as Wei Bie, with the movement of Wu Ruiyuan's scallion-like fingers, a gleaming spiritual sword collided with Wei Bie's spiritual sword.
With a "ding" sound, the two swords collided and each bounced away.
Well, even if Wu Ruiyuan is not a weapon refiner, it is normal for her to have several spiritual weapons on her body.
Both sides were obviously testing each other from the beginning.
The next step was still a test, Wei Bie still attacked frequently with only one spiritual sword, and Wu Ruiyuan only used one spiritual sword to meet them, but they seemed to be evenly matched.
After probing, Wei Bie seemed to feel that he had figured out the details of the woman opposite him. He had lost to Qian Chao a year ago, but how many Qian Chao could there be in the entire Wuling Sect? Thinking about it, she must be the most common type of monk, with a few spells and spiritual weapons. Most monks in the practice world are like this. Thinking of this, Wei Bie was ready to end this reluctant competition as soon as possible. As he pulled out his body, he put his hands together and performed dazzling hand movements with his ten fingers. A series of sword sounds sounded around him, and at the same time, a series of spiritual swords filled with cold light appeared, trembling. , pointed aggressively at the slim pink figure in front and below.
As Wei Bie changed his tactics, everyone in the audience was dumbfounded. There were already dozens of spiritual swords gathered around him and they were still increasing. In the Wuling Sect, what everyone heard It seems that the only one who can control so many spiritual swords at the same time is Qian Chao. Of course, some people in the audience still remember the fight between Qian Chao and Wei Bie a year ago. It was really dazzling, but that was a year ago after all. , and not everyone saw it. Now looking at Wei's other methods a year later, everyone is still stunned.
Qian Chao looked at this scene and felt a little pity. Compared with the last time he fought with him, the number of spiritual swords that Wei Bie could control may have increased a lot, but in his opinion, Wei Bie's path was a bit too much. By the way, it seems that this person is blindly pursuing the number of spiritual swords that he can control. This does look very bluffing, but it has no actual uses. But when you meet someone who is good at adapting, you can use this method of his. Crack it.
Facing the many spiritual swords that were poised to attack her in the air, Wu Ruiyuan's slim figure remained motionless, but at this time, the hem of her dress and the waterfall of hair on the back of her head had begun to sway slightly.
"Be careful!" Following Wei Bie's soft call in the air, the clanging swords rang loudly, and the spiritual swords flew from his side like a school of fish towards Wu Ruiyuan below.
According to Wei Bie's idea, this one blow could force that particularly good-looking woman to step down.
Staring at the countless shining cold lights in the sky, Wu Ruiyuan's hands had already been intertwined. With the movement of her ten fingers, just when the countless flying swords that kept ringing were about to strike, she let out a sweet scold and embroidered her shoes lightly. Stomping, the stage suddenly roared loudly, and a fierce tornado instantly surrounded her figure in the center. The disciples in the audience looked over and saw the light pink figure in the rapidly rotating and howling wind. The graceful figures were blurred.
At this time, all of Wei Bie's spiritual swords collided with each other.
Obviously, the wind is stronger than the sword.
Wei Bie's spiritual sword immediately lost its original momentum after it crashed into the violently rotating tornado. It was even said that Wei Bie almost lost control of his spiritual sword, and the sword crashed into the wind like it fell. A small boat entering a large whirlpool in a storm on the sea would be involuntarily drifting with the current in an instant. There was originally a vague wind wall around Wu Ruiyuan, but as more spiritual swords were drawn in, all The swords were wrapped in the strong wind and rotated around her figure at high speed. Originally, the audience could still vaguely see her graceful figure, but now the light pink color can only be seen in the gaps between the rotation of the spiritual swords. That’s all.
Qian Chao shook his head and said softly:
"Wei don't lose."
"It can't be so fast, it's just the beginning?" Tang Ping said from the side.
Qian Chao said again:
"Wei's other methods are too one-dimensional. He must not be Wu Ruiyuan's opponent."
"Hehe, it's okay. Anyway, what we bought this time is Po Niang Sheng named Wu." Lu Pingchuan said.
As if the spiritual energy was unsustainable, the tornado around Wu Ruiyuan gradually weakened. Taking this opportunity, Wei Bie had the opportunity to regain his many spiritual swords. Just now, his many spiritual swords were caught in the opponent's strong wind and were out of control. , which really shocked Mr. Wei, but at the same time, as Qian Chao said, his method was too single. It can be said that in the Qi refining stage, well, it still needs to be done before and after breaking through the Xiaowu Pass. This method is indeed Yes, but if he persists in this method and wants to go all the way, unless he has the talent of multitasking like Qian Chao, but Mr. Wei obviously does not have such a talent, he is just a person who is willing to work in this world. He is just an ordinary monk who has to work hard, so he is forced to walk this road, and sometimes his manpower is poor. He will definitely not be able to go on this road. If he does not adapt, the future of this Wei Gongzi will be worrying.
His spirit sword was completely back under his control. Mr. Wei suddenly felt a little more confident. In his opinion, the strong wind caused by Wu Ruiyuan just now must be a very spiritual energy-consuming spell. Otherwise, how could she let go so easily? Opening his own spiritual sword, it seems... there is a chance!
Thinking of this, Mr. Wei simply summoned the remaining spiritual swords on his body. He wanted to use his own limit to deal with this woman, making sure to succeed with the next blow and win the competition.
The sound of swords sounded in the air again.
Counting the many more spiritual swords around Wei Bie, Qian Chao shook his head and said to Tang Ping:
"You're ready to get the spirit stones."
Tang Ping nodded, but even if Qian Chao said this, she still had to see how Wei Bie would lose this competition.
In the air on the stage, cold light gathered, and hundreds of spiritual swords trembled and hung high. The sharp point of the sword tip pointed at the slim figure in light pink.
Everyone in the audience watching the battle was dumbfounded, waiting to see how Mr. Wei would destroy the flower with his ruthless hands.
All his efforts are accomplished in one battle, Wei Bie thought silently in his heart, and then launched the final offensive!
The stage was like stars falling to the ground during the day, and there was a loud roar!
In the blink of an eye, Wu Ruiyuan was seen using some means. After a scolding, there was a soft "boom" sound, and a thick white cold mist suddenly gathered around her body, suddenly covering her body. The figure is completely hidden in it.
And when the white mist filled the air, the dense spiritual swords fell and stabbed, and all the cold light rushed into the thick mist one after another!
There was no exclamation, nor was there any strong wind howling. There was only a dense "chacha" sound in the thick fog.
Immediately, the diffuse thick fog shrank, not dissipating, but gathering towards the center. At the same time, bursts of cold air flowed down from the stage like running water. White smoke erupted from the mouth and nose of the five spirit disciples who were close by when they breathed. out.
Finally, the white thick fog disappeared, and the dust settled. When Wu Ruiyuan's method appeared in front of people's eyes, everyone couldn't help but secretly praise it. Some people even suddenly realized it and called Wu Ruiyuan's method extremely clever.
On the stage, there is a huge ice block that is two stories high. It should have been a crystal clear ice, but because there are too many spiritual swords frozen in it, it looks extremely messy inside. Well, it's like a school of fish frozen to death in a glacier.
Although Wu Ruiyuan's method trapped Wei Bie's spiritual sword just now, she could not use her hands and feet in the strong wind. Now Wei Bie's sword was frozen in the ice, no matter how he used it. Unable to break free from the ice, Wu Ruiyuan stood next to the ice, still calmly looking at Wei Bie, who was stunned in the air.
Qian Chao was right at all. Even though Wei Bie could control many spiritual swords, he only had this one method. Now that all his methods were blocked by Wu Ruiyuan, he was in a helpless situation.
Wu Ruiyuan stretched out a hand and pointed it at Wei Bie, who was in a daze in the air. The electric sparks buzzed between the food, middle, nameless and little fingers, and the flashing white light flickered in front of her hand. She spoke to Wei Bie calmly. said:
"Master Wei, what do you say?"
The implication is that if she doesn't admit defeat, she will launch an offensive.
After several changes in expression, Wei Bie finally became defeated. After landing on the stage, Wei Bie raised her hands and said to Wu Ruiyuan:
"Miss Wu is very clever. If she is not as good as her subordinates, she will be defeated."
"Accepted."
Then a voice from the audience said loudly:
"In this match, Jiuxuan Wu Ruiyuan wins."
Suddenly, everyone watching the battle became excited.
Tang Ping stood up and said to Qian Chao:
"Well, you still have vision. I just saw it. You can win a lot by buying Wei Bie, and the odds of Wu Ruiyuan are higher. Ha, I made a profit!"
When Tang Ping got up and went with Lu Pingchuan to collect the spiritual stones they won from gambling, Wu Ruiyuan also saw it. She naturally recognized Tang Ping, and at the same time she recognized Qian Chao and the others there, but in Youming Valley, she had only met these few people. We had no contact with each other, so we didn't come forward to talk.
(The author would like to explain here that including Liang Bake, plus Wu Ruiyuan and Wu Ruishan who have already appeared, they are all characters who have not appeared in the story for a long time, but in the future after Qian Chao and others build the foundation, these people will They will also appear, and they will also have their own plots. In order to avoid their sudden appearance, we have arranged for them to appear here. At the same time, they will also foreshadow their respective methods in advance. Please stay tuned for the following stories. Keep following it, thank you.)
There were no Qian Chao or the other five people in the competition on the first day of the Cheng Guan En Examination, so today they were just watching the fun. The competition lasted until the sun was setting in the west and the sky was filled with red clouds. The few people in charge of hosting The foundation-building disciples came on stage and announced loudly that today's competition was over and that it would continue tomorrow. Then all the five spirit disciples who were watching the battle dispersed in a noisy manner. Like the ebbing tide, those who had won the competition or won the spirit stone were all elated. .
However, Qian Chao and others did not return to their respective residences, but followed Qian Chao to his courtyard.
After pushing the door open, two people were already sitting in Qian Chao's room, one was Xu Sheng, and the other was Tang Ping's senior brother Hang Zhui. After the door was closed, Xu Sheng and Hang Zhuo informed Qian Chao and others one by one of the news about Zongwai Town.
After a confidential conversation, the two people left. Tang Ping, Yan Xuan, Li Jian and Lu Pingchuan also returned respectively. However, Qian Chao quietly came to the cave of Senior Tian Zhi'an and found Ma Hu.
After talking for a while, Ma Hu quietly went out, and Qian Chao stayed in Ma Hu's residence to wait. After a while, people came to Ma Hu silently in the dark of night. After some closed-door conversations, they had already It was when the sky was filled with stars that Qian Chao said goodbye to everyone.
Such tossing made Qian Chao a little tired, and he could finally go back to his place to rest. However, when Qian Chao opened the door, he found that there was another person sitting in the room. Qian Chao didn't recognize the person yet, but he could clearly feel it. The person who entered the room was a pill-forming monk, which made him nervous.
"Qian Chao?" The man asked first.
"It's junior, senior..." Qian Chao asked cautiously.
"I'm Bai Gen." The man said calmly.
Bai Gen, the elder of Bibotan in Shuiyun Valley within the sect, and also... Bai Lin's father!
What is he here for?
"I've met Elder Bai!" Qian Chao saluted quickly.
"Come in and talk."
"yes."
Qian Chao then stepped in with one foot still outside the door, and then closed the door.
