After meeting Fairy Lingxia, Xiao Yinyue began to work with Meng Qiushui.
After finishing what she was doing, she went alone in the pharmacy to familiarize herself with the placement of various medicinal materials. When she saw some unfamiliar medicinal materials, she would read the books at any time, which was equivalent to studying while working.
The day passed before I knew it.
Because of the change in position, Xiao Yinyue moved to Tianji Peak that night and lived next door to Meng Qiushui.
At noon the next day, the square of Qixing Academy was crowded with people. More than 10,000 people gathered. Everyone gathered in small groups and talked about it——
"Can Madman Wei win this time?"
"I think highly of him. Among the outer disciples, he is the only one who can be called crazy. This name is not for nothing."
"Tch, it's not like Madman has never lost before. He's been beaten like a dead dog several times in over-level challenges, hasn't he?"
"Xia Ziyan is one level higher than him. He has mastered a set of flaming sword skills to level seven. His actual combat ability is not bad!"
"Come on, come on, come on, as usual, place your bets!"
…
It turns out that today is the day when the outer disciple Wei Xiaolong will meet Xia Ziyan's challenge, and everyone is full of expectations.
Because of Madman Wei, everyone felt that this would be a wonderful battle.
In fact, the life of the sect is often boring. In addition to cultivation, it is learning. In order to obtain more cultivation resources, you often need to take on some tasks and earn spiritual stones.
Therefore, the challenge in the ring has become one of the rare entertainment activities.
There were a lot more people at the scene this time than the last time Xia Ziyan challenged Xiao Yinyue and Wei Xiaoxue. After all, the two sides fighting today are at the eighth level of Qi refining stage and the ninth level of Qi refining stage. The battle will inevitably be more complicated. Wonderful.
In anticipation, Wei Xiaolong and Xia Ziyan were seen walking towards the ring from east and west directions respectively.
People in the square all gave way to a path, allowing both parties to pass unimpeded.
Xia Ziyan was mainly followed by a group of children of the Xia family. Wei Xiaolong was surrounded by several people who played well with Wei Xiaolong in addition to Xiao Yinyue and Wei Xiaoxue.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yinyue suddenly remembered the boxing match in her previous life, which was also a scene like this.
The surroundings were noisy. Some people supported Xia Ziyan, while others were optimistic about Wei Xiaolong. Both of them had many supporters.
On the ring, the instructor standing on top today was actually the fiery-tempered Miao Chunmei, still holding a pointer in her hand and looking heroic.
She looked coldly at both parties entering the room, seeming to be comparing and judging in her mind.
Xia Ziyan is thin and thin, and does not seem to have an advantage, but his calm and calm expression makes people have confidence in him inexplicably, not to mention that his cultivation level is higher than that of Wei Xiaolong.
Wei Xiaolong is tall and strong, with a strong back and a strong waist. He has a sense of simplicity and wildness from the mountain people. The two temperaments are combined together. As long as he goes there, he will give people an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Xia Ziyan carried a willow-leaf scimitar about one meter high on his waist, while Wei Xiaolong held a black iron rod nearly two meters long.
When both of them came to the ring, Miao Chunmei first simply announced the rules, and then asked both parties:
"Are you all ready?"
Both nodded and replied: "Ready".
Miao Chunmei immediately set up a barrier and retreated.
There are people talking below——
"Xia Ziyan is going to use the lancet to perform the flaming sword technique?"
"Is it a mismatch? It feels like the big ring knife matches better."
"Swordsmanship does not necessarily depend on the type of sword used, it mainly depends on the cultivation level and the person fighting."
"Using a stick against a knife, Wei Xiaolong has the upper hand in terms of weapons!"
"Every inch is long and strong, and every inch is short and dangerous. In fact, each can only be regarded as having its own advantages!"
…
Wei Xiaoxue, who was very close to the ring, said to Xiao Yinyue: "Brother said that we should take a closer look at how the blast stick technique is performed. Why do you think he doesn't use more powerful martial arts?"
Xiao Yinyue looked at the ring and replied: "He wants to give us on-site teaching so that we can have a deeper understanding of stick techniques. As for what martial arts to use, he should have thought carefully about it, so we don't have to worry."
In martial arts duels, sometimes it is true that one cannot simply compare strength and weakness, the one that is suitable is the best.
Both sides clasped their fists and saluted each other, and then both assumed a posture ready to attack.
Xia Ziyan held the lancet in his hand, lying in front of him, as if he could advance, attack, retreat or defend.
Wei Xiaolong held an iron rod in his hand and actually launched the attack first with a move of the dragon coming out of the sea.
Xia Ziyan, who had been on guard for a long time, dodged lightly and blocked the iron rod with the lancet in his hand like lightning, then flew up and slashed at Wei Xiaolong.
The battle started quickly, instantly igniting the audience's passion.
Countless people applauded, and no one knew who they were applauding for.
It is true that the ring-shaped knife is more suitable for the use of the flaming sword technique. However, Xia Ziyan prefers the lancet and insists on using the lancet to fight.
The sword technique, which should have been fiery and wild, became a little less wild and a little more thrilling after being replaced with a lancet.
Xia Ziyan, who possesses the fire spirit root, injected his spiritual power into the lancet at this moment, and the blade immediately became hot, as if it could ignite the air when he waved it.
However, the Swift Wind Stick Technique, which should have been agile, showed a bit of wildness in Wei Xiaolong's hands, with such wide open and close movements that even Xia Ziyan did not dare to get close easily.
The Blazing Sword Technique was originally a set of majestic sword techniques like a giant dragon in the sky, but because Xia Ziyan changed to a lancet, it became as elusive as a spiritual snake, making it difficult to guard against.
As a result, the blazing sword technique did not show the momentum of the word "raging flames". This was also related to Xia Ziyan's low cultivation level. At the ninth level of the Qi refining period, that was only the Qi refining period. The spiritual power was limited and the blade could emit He could only produce a faint flame, which was already his most powerful level at this stage.
On the contrary, the word "gust" of the Swift Wind Stick Technique was vividly displayed by Wei Xiaolong. The stick in his hand seemed to absorb the wind between heaven and earth, and it danced with whirlwinds, so fast that it was unpredictable.
Every rotation of the stick was like a tornado. It could not only defend against Xia Ziyan's flaming sword skills, but also be used as a means of attack to attack Xia Ziyan's vital points.
The fight between the two is like a vivid picture. Xia Ziyan's flames and Wei Xiaolong's wind are intertwined. The collision of flames and wind makes the scene very exciting and dazzling.
This is a contest of strength and speed, as well as a collision of blood and passion.
The two were attacking and defending each other, and it was difficult to tell the difference for a while. Every time the swords and sticks crossed each other, sparks flew everywhere, and every time they separated, a more powerful attack seemed to be brewing.
This battle is not only a collision of strength, but also a contest of wisdom.
Both of them know each other's moves and weaknesses well, so every attack needs to be carefully considered. It is precisely because of this caution and wisdom that the battle is more tense and exciting.
This battle is a visual and passionate feast.
In comparison, Xia Ziyan was more powerful. Facing Wei Xiaolong's violent attacks, he chose to focus on defense instead of attacking with all his strength.
Wei Xiaolong's idea was to win a quick victory. After all, the longer the battle lasted, the worse it would be for him. His cultivation level was not as good as Xia Ziyan's and he could not afford a protracted battle.
However, Xia Ziyan, who had always been calm and collected, was neither impatient nor impatient, and did not play according to Wei Xiaolong's rhythm. Instead, he tried to be steady, counterattacking immediately when he had the chance, and defending tightly when he had no chance.
He just wanted to consume Wei Xiaolong's spiritual power first.
Sure enough, two quarters of an hour later, Wei Xiaolong, who was attacking like a storm, gradually slowed down.
Xia Ziyan still did not fight back with all his strength, but still pursued a steady and steady strategy and continued to consume Wei Xiaolong.
Wei Xiaolong was most afraid of this kind of battle. He tried to change the rhythm several times during the battle, but failed. After all, although Xia Ziyan was not as experienced as himself in combat, he mainly played a calm game and had a deeper level of cultivation than himself.
The idea of a quick victory didn't work, so Wei Xiaolong immediately changed his strategy, slowed down his pace, and readjusted his state.
Both of them slowed down, and the fighting scene in the ring changed. It was less angry, but more pleasing to the eye, as if brothers were sparring.
After adjusting his rhythm and breathing more smoothly, Wei Xiaolong, who was already on the verge of a breakthrough, suddenly felt that he had entered a familiar state.
Yes, it is about to break through.
On the field, the audience below could not see it, but as the instructor, Miao Chunmei could see it at a glance. She couldn't help but show a knowing smile, nodded slightly and said:
"As expected of Crazy Wei, he can gain insights during battles and upgrade accordingly."
After a while, Wei Xiaolong suddenly felt that his thoughts were clear, his aura was instantly strengthened, and his spirit was shaken.
At that moment, not only Xia Ziyan felt it, but even the audience below discovered that Wei Xiaolong had actually broken through to the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage during the battle.
People couldn’t help but marvel——
"You can break through this, you are truly a lunatic!"
"With his breakthrough, Xia Ziyan's situation will be in danger."
"Xia Ziyan probably missed the best time to counterattack just now. If he launched a counterattack before the breakthrough, he might have won."
"The main reason is that Xia Ziyan is too striving for stability and wants to keep consuming. He has indeed missed the best opportunity."
"How can you always seek stability when competing with a madman? You have to fight back when it's time to fight back. Now it's too late for him to fight back!"
…
Indeed, Wei Xiaolong, who had broken through to the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage, had greatly increased his spiritual power. This was the time when his momentum was like a rainbow.
He took advantage of this momentum and launched another violent attack.
When the blast stick technique was used, it was a bit more violent than at the beginning.
Under such a fierce attack, Xia Ziyan's flaming sword skills actually became a little messy.
His momentum was suppressed, and he became a little less confident mentally. Originally facing Crazy Wei, he insisted on a steady and steady strategy because he felt a little guilty, hoping to exhaust his spiritual power and win.
Now that he saw that he had broken through, the idea of exhausting his spiritual energy was shattered.
They were at a disadvantage both morally and psychologically, and even defense became difficult.
After one vigorous effort, he failed again, and finally exhausted three times. Seeing that he was already at a disadvantage, Xia Ziyan quickly shouted: "I give up!"
When Wei Xiaolong saw him admitting defeat, he immediately stopped attacking, but still looked prepared.
Countless battle experiences told him that if he relaxed at this moment, he might be attacked by a sneak attack, so he had to be cautious.
When Miao Chunmei saw that the fighting had stopped, she couldn't help but show a disappointed expression on her face.
In her opinion, Xia Ziyan should have had the advantage in this battle, but his tactics were too conservative, turning his advantage into a disadvantage.
On the contrary, she admired Wei Xiaolong's style of play. He was quick when he should be quick and slow when he should be slow. His rhythm was so good that she could gain some insights during the battle and successfully break through.
She lifted the barrier and announced loudly: "Wei Xiaolong wins this arena challenge!"
