Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and Mu Qing and others ushered in the third stage of the Three Mountains Trial.
On the square at the top of Gale Mountain, the contestants were automatically divided into two camps. There were a hundred contestants who came all the way from Nangui City, standing on the left side of the square, and the 20 people selected from within the Zhu family Standing on the right side of the square, as Zhu Boyuan announced the rules of the knockout competition, the atmosphere between them became more and more antagonistic.
"Why are they treated like this?"
"Just because we are better than you casual cultivators! You are lucky that you won't encounter us right away."
Among the two parties, the oldest one cannot be more than thirty-five years old. When they quarreled, he was still said to be young and energetic in the cultivation world. What made these casual cultivators dissatisfied was that the young disciples of the Zhu family not only did not need to participate. The first two stages of the competition, and the arena competition that is about to begin, will also take one less round than many of them.
"enough!"
Zhu Xuefeng's face turned blue and red when he heard the provocative and taunting voices of the Zhu family towards the casual cultivators behind him.
Haven't these fools realized that today is different from the past?
In the past, those who came from outside the mountain were little-known casual cultivators, and the most powerful ones were only Shen Ze and his like, but who is at the forefront of the casual cultivator camp now?
Congratulations to Hongyan! Happy autumn! Even that damn Mu Qing.
Zhu Xuefeng is full of regrets now. If he had known about today's situation, he would never have wanted to be the first among the Zhu family's children for a false reputation.
The competition rules for the Three Mountain Trials have not changed.
Mu Qing and other contestants who entered the mountain from Nangui City all had a jade plaque on their bodies, and their rankings were already displayed on the jade plaque.
And they, the children of the Zhu family, are also ranked.
To divide them more carefully, they are divided into the inner and outer mountains. Coming from Nangui City is the outer part of the mountain, and the children of the Zhu family are the inner part of the mountain.
First, the top twenty contestants from outside the mountain competed with twenty people from the Zhu family, and twenty people were eliminated.
The remaining eighty people will have to go through two rounds of competition and sixty people will be eliminated.
This is the content of the competition on the first day. On the second day, forty people will advance to twenty, and on the sixth day, twenty people will advance to ten.
The third stage of the game is finally over.
According to past practice, the twenty disciples of the Zhu family were almost overwhelming when facing the twenty people outside the mountain. The twenty disciples of the Zhu family were eliminated at most by more than one hand.
This in itself is a demonstration method for the Zhu family to conquer the loose cultivators outside the mountain.
And this kind of responsibility is often shouldered the most by the children of the Zhu family who are ranked first in the mountain. Of course, if they win, they will get the most rewards.
Now, as the number one Zhu family member in the mountain, Zhu Xuefeng only hopes that he will have better luck in the future and will not be drawn by someone.
"Okay! You have heard the rules clearly, now activate your respective jade cards."
After Zhu Boyuan finished speaking, rays of light appeared on the square, among which the one behind the crowd was the most dazzling.
Zhu Boyuan glanced away and smiled slightly.
The contestants who were near Mu Qing and the others subconsciously spread out to both sides, revealing an open space, while Mu Qing and the others just stood there calmly.
They were the first to pass the second stage of the secret realm trial, so they ranked in the top three. The jade tablets in their hands were filled with precious light, and their rankings were displayed above their heads.
"Very well, the top twenty people outside the mountain come to the front."
After Mu Qing and others reached the front of the crowd, Zhu Boyuan looked at the children of the Zhu family.
Zhu Xuefeng's face was gloomy. He waited for the other Zhu family disciples around him to shoot out the jade tokens in their hands, and then quickly mixed his own jade tokens into them.
These jade plaques have no ranking or names for the time being.
Zhu Boyuan saw Zhu Xuefeng's little thoughts in his eyes, his eyes were deep, and with a wave of his sleeves, the twenty jade tablets turned into streams of light and surrounded them, making it impossible to distinguish each other.
Only then did he look at Mu Qing and said, "Start choosing your opponents in order of ranking."
Mu Qing nodded. Zhu Boyuan also used some tricks to disrupt the jade tokens. He had no intention of choosing anyone, so he grabbed a jade token casually.
In front of you.
Soon, everyone else also picked their opponents. When the last jade card stopped quietly, a number suddenly appeared on the jade card.
"one."
Mu Qing looked at the numbers on the jade plaque in front of him and raised his eyebrows.
"Rankings are related to the amount of resources you can get in the future, so rankings are up for grabs, especially if you are ranked lower than your opponent. This is your first battle to show your personal strength, so please treat it with caution."
While Zhu Boyuan was talking, he looked towards Mu Qing. When he saw the numbers on the jade tablets, he couldn't help but be startled. Then he laughed, and with a wave of his hand, the jade tablets flew back to the hands of the Zhu family's children.
Zhu Xuefeng looked at the jade plaque with the word "一" hovering in front of him, his face gloomy, and he even forgot to reach out to pick it up.
When the friends around him saw this, some were gloating and some were sympathetic, but most of them had another attitude, "Brother Xuefeng, he took advantage of you when you were not prepared to attack you last time, but Uncle Boyuan let him go easily. We even gave him a convenience!"
"This is a good opportunity. You must help everyone get rid of their bad temper and punish these unruly people!"
Zhu Xuefeng didn't even think about looking at Mu Qing now, but he still had to be roasted on the fire all the time. He was extremely depressed and could only say in a low voice: "Don't worry."
There are exactly twenty arenas built with formations scattered across the square, each with an area of a hundred feet.
Mu Qing was the first to board the nearest arena. While Zhu Xuefeng was wasting his time, he observed Murong Jing and Zhu Hongyan's opponents and felt quite reassured.
The two girls are now in the middle stage of becoming mortals, while the children of the Zhu family opposite are only mortals, and the outcome has already been decided in the first meeting.
"boom--"
A ball of black fire collapsed in all directions, and Zhu Xuefeng was punched off the ring!
"So fast!"
"This guy is so fierce!"
The battle in the ring has already begun, and those contestants who have not yet entered the ring have become the most serious spectators.
Mu Qing is the number one outside the mountain, and Zhu Xuefeng is the number one in the mountain. The arena where the two of them are standing has naturally become the focus of the square, but before everyone can surround the arena, the winner has already been decided.
In the early stage of Zhu Xuefeng's transformation into a mortal, he was possessed of strange fire, and his strength was actually very impressive. Especially after knowing how powerful Mu Qing was, he activated the secret technique of strange fire as soon as he came up. The billowing black flames penetrated everywhere, even outside the ring. The true energy in the young man's body is not flowing smoothly.
But Mu Qing turned a blind eye and had no idea of evasion. He forcefully broke through the rolling sea of fire and punched Zhu Xuefeng straight in the face.
Zhu Xuefeng flew out of the ring in front of the stunned eyes of the audience and fell to the ground. He crawled several times and failed to get up. In the end, he simply tilted his head and fainted.
"Zhe Qing versus Zhu Xuefeng, Zhe Qing wins!"
Zhu Boyuan took a deep look at Mu Qing and quickly announced Mu Qing's victory.
He wasn't too surprised that Mu Qing could easily defeat Zhu Xuefeng, but Mu Qing's calm demeanor when he was in the strange fire made him take a few more glances.
Mu Qing seems to have cultivated the fire of the heart. If the alien fire does not enter the top ten, it may not be able to pose any threat to the opponent even at the level of the Holy King.
The first knockout round actually ended quickly.
Mu Qing looked at the remaining people. After this round of competition, a total of five of the twenty Zhu family members were eliminated.
But among the five, Zhu Hongyan and Zhu Xingqiu also eliminated two of them. When it came to the results, it turned out that the Zhu family disciples were still far more powerful than the casual cultivators who practiced alone.
The only thing that caught his attention was that Zhu Hao also lost.
Zhu Hao is now in the late stage of transcending the world, and his strength can rank among the top five among the Zhu family's children, but he has lost to a casual cultivator ranked seventeenth outside the mountain.
Feeling Mu Qing's gaze, the other party nodded towards him.
"Hu Peng?"
Mu Qing secretly wrote down the opponent's name. The competition arrangement of the Three Mountains Trial was actually quite meaningful. The first stage only focused on realm, the second stage focused on teamwork, and now it was about personal strength.
The other party is on top
Ranking 17th at one stage does not mean that the opponent is inferior in strength.
Although this person defeated Zhu Hao and exchanged a few moves, they all looked extremely easy, perhaps not extraordinary.
The competition in the square was still going on, and the remaining eighty people had to be eliminated for two consecutive rounds. However, Mu Qing's competition was already on the second day, and the three of them returned to Ning Yeju.
Zhu Boyuan watched him leave and noticed that someone was following him secretly. He sighed in his heart, but he could only cheer up and focus on the game.
The storm is coming soon!
"How about it? Can it be used?"
Ning Yeju, Zhong Ling'er asked expectantly.
Mu Qing held an extremely small and delicate talisman in his hand. He felt it silently for a long time before nodding.
"Okay, Ling'er is amazing!" Mu Qing admired sincerely.
Zhong Ling'er snorted: "Don't even look at who I am! This is not a trivial matter."
Zhu Hongyan stood aside, unable to restrain his curiosity until now, and asked: "Did you work for most of the night last night just to refine this thing?"
"yes."
Mu Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "If Ling'er hadn't brought the refining tools with him, this Nirvana Seal would have been difficult to refine."
"Nirvana seal?" Zhu Hongyan was even more curious.
Mu Qing and Murong Jing looked at each other and smiled. This object was conceived by the two of them and then handed over to Zhong Ling'er to refine the consumable magic weapon. They said: "Limited by the materials, if we only talk about the level of the magic weapon, this object may only be one piece." The most common spiritual treasure, but it has a similar effect to the spiritual energy orb, it can absorb pure true energy. In addition... when the true energy is full, it can continue to activate the real effect of the talisman."
"Suppress the fire of karma."
Mu Qing's eyes were clear. His original intention of designing this talisman was to make Qi Shuyun come to him on his own initiative.
Because Zhu Yushan mentioned his elder brother Zhu Yangming quite carefully when he was practicing in Zhu Hongyan.
Zhu Yangming, like Murong Jing, tried to refine the fire of karma and practice. Zhu Yushan said that this person disappeared in the end, but now it is obvious that he has something hidden. .
Using a nirvana seal to throw stones to ask for directions, as long as Zhu Yangming was still tortured by the fire of karma, Qi Shuyun could not help but be moved.
While Mu Qing was explaining to everyone, Zhu Bailu arrived. What surprised Mu Qing was that she was followed by an acquaintance - Shen Ze.
Now, even how to deliver things to Qi Shuyun has the right person.
