"Number Four"
Soon he called out the number that Jiang Chen had drawn. Jiang Chen stood up immediately following the old man's voice, but the other person didn't come out for a long time.
"No. 4" the old man with Eagle Eyes shouted again with a serious look on his face.
At this time, a young man in wolf's clothing came out from behind the crowd with a look of disdain, and said in a leisurely manner: "Senior! I'm so sorry. I thought my opponent would be such a powerful character, but I didn't expect him to be a newcomer. , so I didn’t pay attention for a moment!”
What he saw was a young man. The eagle-eyed old man just snorted slightly and held back his words. He didn't pay attention to what the young man said. Then he waved his hands impatiently, and the two of them quickly walked towards the platform.
A monk who knew the young man muttered behind him: "It turns out that he is the young master of the Wolf-Yining Tribe. I heard that this man has extraordinary talents and is only forty years old. He has already advanced to the Qi-Blood Realm and worshiped the Elder Hong Beast of Xingxing City as his master. Master, no wonder Master Chi doesn’t dare to do anything.”
Because the man was close to Jiang Chen's side, Jiang Chen could hear his mutterings keenly. However, even if the man didn't say anything, Jiang Chen could sense the strength of this man's Qi and Blood Realm from the young man's arrogant aura. It seems that there is some background, and there is an elder from Star City as a backer, which is a bit troublesome.
After the white light flashed, Jiang Chen and the other party appeared in a gray world. Except for the tens of feet wide space in the middle, there seemed to be an invisible wall of air around them.
"Qi Refiner? Even though your cultivation has reached the late stage of Qi Refining, you are still far behind me. I don't think there is any need to fight any more. Fellow Taoist, just admit defeat! It will save you the trouble of taking action without knowing the severity of your injury." Fellow Taoist!" The young man on the opposite side, apart from being surprised when he discovered Jiang Chen's identity as a Qi Refiner, was disdainful of his strength and said to Jiang Chen impatiently.
Jiang Chen looked across at the Qi and Blood Realm monk who was said to have extraordinary talent. He saw that he was playing with the wolf skin on his body and was not looking at him. Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile.
"What's so funny? I'm just reciting the decree of the Presbyterian Council and being nicer to you outsider monks. Do you really think I'm talking nonsense!" The young man opposite saw Jiang Chen's nonchalant look and seemed to have just... Still laughing at himself, he couldn't help but get angry.
"Your Excellency has misunderstood. I would like to thank you in advance for your kindness. I just feel that the effort in your hands may not be as good as the effort in your words. I will use some strength to make sure not to hurt you." Jiang Chen used both hands. He rubbed it casually and said casually.
"What? How dare you look down on me like this! Okay, so what if you are a Qi practitioner? Let me show you how insurmountable the gap between a big realm is." The young man put down the wolf skin in his hand. Suddenly his face turned red, he raised his hands, and his hands were filled with mysterious light. The sounds of wolves howled one after another, and two majestic wolf heads appeared in his fists. Just as he was attacking Jiang Chen, he suddenly felt his arms move. It hurts, the figure in front of him blurred, and then his eyes went black, and he fell limply to the ground, his identity unknown.
…
After a while, Jiang Chen carried the unconscious young monk and came out of it with a normal expression. The other monks in the hall were shocked when they saw this scene.
The young man's cultivation level is in the Qi and Blood realm, while Jiang Chen looks inconspicuous. Although some people have noticed that he is a Qi refining practitioner, and he is only in the realm of perfect Qi refining, but there is a difference in cultivation level between him and the young man. , they all saw it clearly. But it was Jiang Chen who won, which was really unexpected.
Even the eagle-eyed old man who had always had a sullen face couldn't help showing a weird look after seeing Jiang Chen's victory. Then he looked at the young man holding Jiang Chen's hand and sneered.
He gave Jiang Chen a meaningful look. Although he didn't say anything, he seemed to know the story behind Jiang Chen's move.
Still smiling, Jiang Chen calmly put the two bamboo sticks in front of the old man, put the unconscious young man on the ground, and returned to the winning monks.
The old man looked at the unknown middle-aged monk at his feet, then shook his hand, and a ray of light shot into his body. After a while, the young man slowly woke up and saw Jiang Chen standing on the winning side. The young man He was about to have an attack, but the pain in his arm actually made him groan, and then he retreated at the old man's signal.
"Number eleven"
…
When the last winner also appeared, the old man looked at the eleven monks standing on the side of the winner, coughed lightly, and said lightly:
"Now, please continue to draw lots and continue the challenge with the same numbers. One Taoist friend will have a bye this round. It depends on God's will and luck. You can do it yourself. Next, you can allow all Taoist friends to rest for half an hour. After half an hour, the competition will continue. .”
"Okay, let's start drawing lots!"
Seeing that the old man had finished speaking, the monk standing in the front couldn't wait to draw lots from the jade tube in the old man's hand. Jiang Chen shook his head and casually pulled out a bamboo stick, only to see that there was no number on it. Jiang Chen was confused. After a moment, he took the bamboo stick and looked at the eagle-eyed old man.
The old man glanced casually and said coldly: "The fellow Taoist from the Shanyu Tribe got a bye and will automatically advance to the next round."
As soon as the old man said this, other people looked at Jiang Chen. Some showed envious expressions, while others snorted secretly, seeming to despise Jiang Chen's luck. However, because Jiang Chen had previously defeated a monk in the Qi and Blood Realm, some also I couldn't help but feel relieved, and I was glad that I didn't meet him.
Half an hour later, the remaining ten people who drew the numbers competed in the order called by the old man. The first round started, and the time it took was much longer than the previous round. After about half an hour, one of them A monk walked out lamely with bruises all over his body, holding two bamboo sticks in his hands. Although he was bruised all over, he still had a smile on his face.
Another monk was carried out by two big men.
"Number two!" The old man called out the next number without any hesitation, as if he was accustomed to all this!
Then a monk appeared, frowning slightly and then stopped. The opponent he drew this time was also a monk in the Qi and Blood realm, and he himself only had the strength of the late stage of body training, so there was no need to compete at all, but he immediately retreated and I was afraid of being laughed at, so after thinking about it I bit the bullet and walked into the platform.
His opponent followed him into the platform with a relaxed expression. As expected, in just half a cup of tea, this person walked out of the platform with a comfortable expression, while the person following him was just a little helpless. There were no injuries. When everyone saw this, they immediately understood that he must have surrendered on the platform.
The subsequent competitions were faster because there were two pairs that were in the Body Refining Realm versus the Qi and Blood Realm. The results were self-evident. Both were Qi and Blood Realm monks who were promoted. Only the two monks on the 5th were both in the Qi and Blood Realm. With his strength, the battle was very intense. One of the bearded men fought for a full hour before he finally won with great difficulty.
After the competition was over, the old man with Eagle Eyes waved his hand to signal the losers to reject them. He looked at the six people, including Jiang Chen, and then continued: "In this competition, there are still five places. One of them can be held at the same time. The qualification to do business with Pleiades City means that one of the six of you here has to eliminate one more, let me tell you the rules."
"Because this fellow Taoist has a bye, he will be the first challenger and accept the challenge from any one of you. If no one challenges him or he wins in all challenges, this most precious spot will go to This fellow Taoist. Of course, if this fellow Taoist fails to defend the ring, one of you will gradually become the ring master to continue this step. After the ring master is determined, the remaining five people will eliminate one person to compete for the remaining four quota." The eagle-eyed old man pointed at Jiang Chen, slowly told the rules of the competition, and then motioned for Jiang Chen to advance to the platform.
"You have an hour to heal your injuries and restore your mana." The old man said to the other five people after seeing Jiang Chen step onto the platform.
Jiang Chen waited silently on the platform, but this time the platform did not emit gray mist, so he could see the expressions of everyone outside, and everyone could also see his calm look.
Taken just now, Jiang Chen defeated a Qi-blood monk in an instant. Although the rest time had come, no one dared to challenge him first, so he waited for half a stick of incense.
The old man with Eagle Eyes urged impatiently: "If no one challenges him yet, this fellow Taoist will take this spot!"
As soon as the old man finished speaking, a strong man jumped out. Seeing that Jiang Chen was not afraid, he smiled at him. He immediately smiled ferociously and strode towards the platform.
The muscles all over the strong man's body were shaking constantly as he took long strides. It seemed that he was on the path of physical training. Judging from his Qi and Blood Realm strength, which was different from that of the young man just now, his aura was quite condensed. He must have been in the Qi and Blood Realm for a long time.
Jiang Chen seemed to be careless, but his consciousness was frantically exploring the strong man, and he was constantly thinking about countermeasures.
When the strong man and Jiang Chen were on the platform, everyone looked at the direction of the platform with attention.
Even the old man Hawkeye and the other six people who were sitting, who had never cared about the competition, started to pay attention.
The strong man took the lead, and his muscles burst out with huge power, like an ancient god of death. His momentum was enough to destroy everything. His right hand hit Jiang Chen's shoulder. Strangely, Jiang Chen did not avoid it, but instead He withstood the blow with his shoulder.
It was impossible for him to end everyone's challenges again and again. In order to prevent others from continuing to challenge him, he could only show his strength and defeat the strong man in front of him.
When the big man's fist fell on Jiang Chen's shoulder, the dragon-shaking armor resisted most of the force for Jiang Chen, so Jiang Chen did not retreat at the first moment. Then the blood orifice behind his left shoulder exerted force, and the majestic energy and blood The blood flowed to his shoulders, and the roar of the dragon elephant in his body filled Jiang Chen's entire body. A huge force came from his shoulders. The big man did not expect Jiang Chen's strangeness, and was thrown backward by the huge force.
Jiang Chen didn't stop, and quickly used the Shock Bell. The spiritual power in his body surged, and there was a "boom". The big man was shocked back by the huge force and before he could react, he felt his brain was confused for a while, and then his hands felt sore, as if there was something. The thing that sealed his meridians was the Seven Star Needle.
Jiang Chen stepped forward, and the Eight-Arm Dust Suppressing Technique instantly focused on his left arm, drawing a large amount of spiritual power. The power on his left arm exceeded most of the early stages of the Qi and Blood Realm and was instantly struck. The strong man just yelled. , was shaken off the platform, and the huge residual power even made the magic circle maintaining the platform tremble.
This is the blood orifice that Jiang Chen spent countless rare elixirs to nurture, and with the blessing of this powerful ancient skill, the ordinary Qi and blood realm is no longer his enemy in Jiang Chen's hands, let alone It is said that he also has a frightening bell that is specially designed to control the soul, and he can even deal with body-refining monks like a strong man with a handful of hands.
The monks quickly looked around and saw the strong man being knocked off the platform by Jiang Chen. He groaned tightly and spit out a mouthful of blood. Then he climbed up with difficulty and looked at Jiang Chen who was standing on the platform. , reluctantly clenched his fist and said:
"Thank you for your mercy, fellow Taoist. Today we know the true strength of the Qi Refiner."
The big man naturally knew that Jiang Chen had regained a lot of strength just now under his magical power. Otherwise, he would have been disabled at this moment. He would not have the strength to speak here. He couldn't help but feel grateful. After speaking, he sat cross-legged on the ground and took out a pill. Yao began to close his eyes to recover from his injuries, and the rest of the people who saw Jiang Chen displaying his power couldn't help but look sideways and held their breath in silence.
Seeing the monks below looking at each other one after another, Jiang Chen instantly understood that his idea had worked. He had successfully frightened the others and could easily win the game. Otherwise, even if he could win after five rounds of fighting, But the spiritual power will also be exhausted and all the cards will be revealed.
Seeing this scene, even Shang Shan, who was standing behind him, opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a moment.
Jiang Chen faced all kinds of surprised looks and leisurely returned to the center of the platform. He closed his eyes and rested, as if waiting for the next challenge.
When the other challengers saw this, they all hesitated. They didn't want to be like the strong man. Even if Jiang Chen kept his hand, the injury would not be conducive to the subsequent competition for rankings. What's more, the big man was seriously injured. With him at the bottom, why should he? If you want to stand out, as long as you can get the qualifications to compete with Taicheng, you're almost there.
Jiang Chen saw everyone's thoughts and couldn't help but sneered in his heart. It seems that no matter where you go, strength speaks the most effective way.
Jiang Chen's divine power was on full display. Even though he had only perfected his Qi refining, no one dared to challenge him. The remaining four people actually gave up after the last round.
After all, they knew they were outmatched and still wanted to fight hard. It’s not like their brains were broken! This way. The old man announced on the spot that Jiang Chen had won the qualification for the Shanyu tribe to trade with Suxing City and Liutai City for the next three years.
Then the old man handed a blue jade slip to Jiang Chen and said that he would just give it to Master Chang Fang.
