As summer turns to winter, the Tianyang Sect's ten-year audition competition lasts from the seventh lunar month to the twelfth lunar month.
In this little half a year, Tian Xiaoding took the lead and went smoothly, passing through all the obstacles and directly entering the top 32 of Kaiyang Peak.
But the top thirty-two who have entered Kaiyang Peak are not enough. Tianyang Sect will select eight disciples from each peak to participate in the finals after the year. Therefore, Xiaoding must reach the top eight of Kaiyang Peak in order to be eligible to enter the overall competition after the year.
However, in the top 32 competition, Xiao Ding drew lots and picked an inner disciple, and he was also one of Qin Taibao's followers.
This man's name is Zuo Zhongzhi, and his cultivation level at the fifth level of Qi training is slightly higher than Xiao Ding's.
Even though Zuo Zhong is only one level higher than Xiao Ding's cultivation level, he can learn the art of sword control at the fifth level of Qi training, but he has not yet started learning at the fourth level of Qi training. A monk who knows how to control a sword is naturally much better than a monk who doesn't know how to control a sword. At least in terms of attack and defense, they are much more flexible than those who don't know how to handle swords.
After the lottery was drawn, when Zuo Zhongzhi learned that tomorrow's opponent was Xiao Ding, he looked proud and provoked Xiao Ding. The other three followers of Qin Taibao around him also started to make noises.
Xiao Ding turned a blind eye to them and returned to the dormitory with Li Tianliang, Deng Feng, and Shan Tong.
Although he knew in his heart that tomorrow's opponent would be a tough opponent, because Xiao Ding had been thinking about the Tianyang Pearl in his heart, of course he understood very well that no matter how hard the bone was, he had to grit his teeth to chew it down. Otherwise, there may never be a chance to come into contact with the Tianyang Pearl in the future.
The Tianyang Pearl is the treasure of the Tianyang Sect, how can it be easily accessible to a small outer disciple like him?
Xiao Ding knew this very well, so he continued to work hard secretly, hoping to rely on his unfailing good luck to rush into the top four of the entire sect.
Of course, good luck alone is not enough, a certain amount of strength is still needed. Unfortunately, in terms of strength alone, Xiao Ding's fourth-level Qi training level is at best an average level compared to the many inner disciples.
In this way, if he wants to defeat those inner disciples who are higher than him, he can only rely on strategy. Therefore, after Xiao Ding returned to the dormitory, he kept thinking about how to defeat the left middle value tomorrow.
After a night of silence, the next morning, the Kaiyang Peak arena competition began again.
Many Kaiyang Peak disciples all gathered in the arena area.
It was an open area on the top of the mountain, where four temporary arenas were set up. There are four arenas held at the same time every day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
The first master of Kaiyang Peak, Yuheng Zhenren, comes here to sit in person every day. He sat at the top of the stands and watched the competition in four arenas at the same time.
Master Yu Heng is one of the golden elixir stage monks of Tianyang Sect. He has strong spiritual consciousness and can pay attention to the fighting situation in the four arenas at the same time without any effort.
When Xiao Ding and Li Tianliang arrived in front of the ring, they saw Qin Taibao and his four followers already waiting there.
Qin Taibao didn't have a game today. Last night, he heard that Zuo Zhongzhi was playing against Tian Xiaoding today, so he came over to watch the excitement. He planned to see how Xiaoding was defeated by his follower, so that he could get angry with him.
Seeing Xiao Ding and the others coming over, Qin Taibao stepped forward and said in a hoarse voice: "Tian Xiaoding, you should admit defeat as soon as possible. Don't embarrass yourself by going on stage again. With your fourth level of Qi training, you are simply vulnerable." .Hahaha!"
Zuo Zhongzhi said proudly on the side: "Senior Brother Qin is right, Tian Xiaoding, I think you should admit defeat as soon as possible, otherwise when you get on stage, they will fight with fists and feet without eyes, and you will be injured and disabled. Sorry, we are all so familiar with each other, so don’t blame me for being too harsh when the time comes, hahaha!”
The other three followers also chimed in: "Tian Xiaoding, those who know the current affairs are heroes. Since the outcome has been decided, why do you have to hit the stone with an egg? I think you should give up early. In our brother's case, If you admit your mistake in front of us, Junior Brother Zuo won't have to take action. Hahaha!"
Xiao Ding didn't pay much attention to the provocative words of Qin Taibao and others. In his mind, these people were no different from clowns.
But Deng Feng and Shan Tong beside him couldn't help it. The two of them were defeated by these followers, so Deng Feng said: "You don't want to be so rampant there, how do you know about us?" The boss can't beat you? Our boss has many tricks."
Shan Tong also said: "You may defeat me, but you may not be able to defeat our boss. You don't have to brag about who can defeat whom. We will see you in the ring later."
Ever since Xiao Ding sold them two low-grade Sheng Yuan Pills at a low price last time, and sold three pills to each of them, the two of them were extremely grateful to Xiao Ding. From then on, they recognized Xiao Ding as their boss and called Xiao Ding " Boss.
When the four followers saw Deng Feng and Shan Tong helping Xiao Ding to speak, they curled up their lips, rolled their eyes, raised their noses and sneered: "Oh, it turns out that you two were defeated! You were the ones who suffered before. Are all your injuries healed? Your defeated general still dares to come out and make wild remarks. Later we want to see how your Tian Xiaoding defeated our Junior Brother Zuo."
Deng Fengdan and the two were about to retaliate again. Xiao Ding waved his hands to the two of them and said, "No need to waste your time with them, let them jump around first."
After saying that, Xiao Ding took Li Tianliang and the others to the No. 1 ring to sign in.
Before the ring starts every day, contestants need to sign in next to the ring in advance to prove that they are not absent today.
The person responsible for presiding over the sign-in is Lu Zhennian, the chief disciple of Kaiyang Peak.
Lu Zhennian has been a disciple of Master Yu Heng for many years. He is much older than Xiao Ding and others, and he appears to be more mature and steady. He certainly would not look down on the outer disciples like Qin Taibao's four followers, so he was very polite to Xiao Ding and the four others.
After signing in, it wasn't long before it was time to compete in the ring.
The arena that Xiao Ding and Zuo Zhongzhi are on is the No. 1 arena, and they are already eager to try and are ready.
Just listen to Master Yu Heng sitting on the other side of the stand, shout: "The competition begins!"
The eight contestants who participated in the competition this morning immediately jumped onto the stage.
After Xiao Ding jumped onto the ring, he immediately took out his weapon, the mace.
To the disciples of the Tianyang Sect, Xiao Ding's weapon was considered an anomaly.
Because within the sect, the weapons of almost all disciples are swords. Even for outer disciples, when they first get started, the sect will distribute a sword to use as a weapon.
Moreover, the skills learned by the disciples of the sect are basically focused on swordsmanship.
When Xiao Ding used the mace, he obviously did not learn the Tianyang Sect skills that were given to him by Zhang Datong, a disciple of Shouyang Peak. However, although Xiao Ding did not learn the Tianyang Sect's techniques, he actually didn't know much about the moves and routines. When he fights, he relies on his strength and speed advantages to fight as he pleases. After seeing each other's tricks and fighting a lot, I naturally got the feel for it and learned a set of offensive and defensive skills.
However, Xiao Ding's style of fighting was quite handy when he was on Earth, because everyone was practicing ordinary martial arts routines at that time. Xiao Ding was strong, fast, and knew some offensive and defensive skills, so he naturally had an advantage.
But now that we have arrived in Tiankun Star Continent, everyone is cultivating, and magic attack and defense are the mainstream. Xiao Ding's physical fighting style is a bit outdated.
But Xiao Ding's cultivation level is too low at this time. His attack-type fire control spells and water control skills are only just beginning, and they are not enough to be used for attacks, so he has to continue to use the most ordinary physical body. means of attack.
When the left center officer saw the mace in Xiao Ding's hand, he laughed loudly and said, "Tian Xiaoding, you can't even wield a sword, how can you compete with me?"
Xiao Ding ignored his words, running the Diamond Technique in his body to defend himself, and at the same time running the Light Body Technique to step forward, brandishing the mace in his hand, and with the sound of wind, he smashed the melon seeds on Zuo Zhongzi's head.
Zuo Zhongzhi saw Xiao Ding holding such a big iron hammer in his hand, and knew that if it was hit at this moment, the melon seeds in his head would definitely be too much to bear. So he quickly dodged to the side, stretched out two fingers of his right hand, chanted a spell in his mouth, took out his flying sword, and stabbed Xiao Ding directly in the throat.
When Xiao Ding saw the opponent's flying sword stabbing him, he quickly dodged. He has suffered losses before, encountering flying swords that can break his own Vajra Technique. But I don't know if the left center in front of me has reached the level where he can break his own defense.
Therefore, Xiao Ding planned to put himself in danger to test the power of the opponent's flying sword.
Just after he dodged the flying sword in the left center, he stretched out his left hand and used the diamond technique to directly grab the blade.
As a result, Xiao Ding's hand was not cut by the sword edge. Instead, he was carried flying by the inertia of the flying sword.
Seeing that he was about to fly out of the ring, Xiao Ding quickly let go of his left hand, and then his body fell to the edge of the ring.
Xiao Ding's cool move shocked everyone present.
No one would have thought that Xiao Ding would suddenly grab the flying sword with his bare hands. No one could understand why Xiao Ding wanted to catch the flying sword with his bare hands.
However, at this time, Xiao Ding had some confidence in his heart. It turned out that the left middle valuer could not break his own Diamond Technique for the time being. I have the Diamond Technique to protect my body, so I don’t have to worry about being hurt by the left center this time. It can also be said that he is in an invincible position and can win this game for sure.
However, the reality is not as simple as imagined.
Although Xiao Ding can't control the flying sword, he has the diamond art to protect his body. Zuo Zhongzhi really can't do anything against him. However, Xiao Ding used the light body technique and attacked the left middle with a mace, but he could not even hurt the left middle.
The two of them were on the ring, going back and forth. They had been fighting for almost a hundred rounds, but they were still not tied.
At this time, both of them were secretly thinking: How can they defeat each other?
